I jerked awake to the sound of my alarm. It had been beeping for the past ten minutes. Shit. I hit the dismiss button and hopped out of bed. I only had five minutes to get to the hokage tower. I grabbed my brush and chunked it in my pack. I jumped out my window and pumped chakra into my feet. Three minutes passed and I was at the hokage tower. Before I went into the building, I took the brush out and ran it through my hair. I took a deep breath and went through the door. Shizune greeted me with a smile and led me to Tsunade's office. I go through her office door and stand beside Naruto. He smiles and puts his arm across my shoulders. He has no idea what he does to me.
"So Grandma, what do you need us for," Naruto asked Tsunade. I smile and roll my eyes. "Kuroi, I need you and Naruto to go to Suna. I need you to take one chuunin, I recommend your sister, Kuroi. So go ahead and decied between the both of you who else your going to take. But you will recieve further details on your mission when you arive in Suna. You will be leaving tomorrow,"Tsunade said. Ever since I walked up on Tsunade's front door steps at age fourteen, she called me Kuroi instead of my full name. My real mother did that to. Tsunade was so good to me and my siblings. She helped me buy an apartment three months ago, but before then we were all living with her. I think about old times but then snap out of it when Naruto gets closer to my face. I inhale his cologne. God he smelled so freaking good.
"So do you want to take your sister or what," Naruto asked. I'm feeling really self conscious because I only had five minutes this morning and didn't get to brush my teeth. I look down and nod.
"Alright then lets go get your sister," he grabs my hand and starts walking us out the door. I blush and look back at Tsunade. She winks at me and I gasp. She laughs lightly. She totally set this up. I start to daydream about Naruto when all of a sudden he's back in my face. "So what are your plans this evening," Naruto asks. I remember my conversation with my brother and swear under my breath.
"A sleep over, wanna come?" I ask casually. He smiles and replies,"Sure what time should I come over?"
"Were going to my house now right? Well lets stop by Ino's, Sakura's, and Hinata's on the way then head to my place," I had it all planned out. He smiled and nodded. He puts his arm around my shoulder. I hide a smile. Boy he was a mess, but I loved him. How was I going to tell him. Well I'll worry about that later. We went by each of the girls' houses and they all said they would meet us back at my place. Naruto and I walked back to my house and we went inside. I walked us into the living room. Sitting on the couch was my brother Ryuu. He was flipping the channels on the t.v. He glanced at me then back at the t.v. Then he did a double take and back to me and saw Naruto. He smirked. Fuck.
"Kuroi, is that your boyfriend?" he asked so inocently.
"No," I said resisting the urge to throttle him. Naruto scratches his head and says,"huh?" I walk into the kitchen. Naruto follows me like a lost puppy. He puckers his lips and crosses his arms. "Theres something I want to tell you before we leave on this mission. I don't know how to say this but," before he could finish Sakura and Ino burst through the door yelling,"PARTAY!" My inner Kuroi murdered them in my thoughts. "Go put your stuff in my room," I yell. I walk close to Naruto. He backs up into my counter. I put my hands on either side of him. "Now what were you saying?" I ask.
"Oh I-I ju-just wanted to say that," he was cut off by my brother Ryuu.
"Eww! Were ya'll gonna kiss?" He nearly yelled. That did it. I chased him down and caught him. I pinned him on the ground and said in his ear," If you know whats good for you, you wont mess this up for me. I really like him, and if you do, I'll tie you up to a tree naked close to the ninja acadamy so that all your friends can see you butt naked. Understood? Trust me you have to sleep sometime tonight," I finish my threat and get off of him. He nodds and runs into the living room. I go back in the kitchen and get out the ramen and chips. The next thing I know there are arms wrapped around my waist. "What I was trying to say is that I have had a thing for you quite a while now. Kuroi, I've never met a girl like you and I like you. Alot. I just felt you should know that," Naruto said in my ear. I turn around and he was right there in my face. I turn back around and slip a tic tac out of a secret drawer. I pop it in my mouth and turn back around. Naruto gives me a confused look but then leans down. I stand on my tip toes. The doorbell rings. Naruto looks up but I pull his face down and give him a small peck. I then go to the door. It's Hinata. I open the door and give her a big smile. I take a bag and take her to my room. We all then go into the living room. I look around and notice Kohaku isn't in here. I walk to his room and knock on the door. I open it and see him messing with his camara. "Hinata's here," I whisper. He glances back at me and gets up. He walks to the living room and plops down on the couch. I laugh. I get my favorite pillow from my room and take it into the living room. I think of what were going to do tonight and automatically think movies. "Hey who wants to go to the red box, I'm to lazy to. Kohaku, will you and Hinata go get some movies? Get me a few gory ones but ya'll can pick out the rest," I wink at Kohaku and he blushes slightly. He slips on his shoes and looks at Hinata. She walks by his side and they leave. I smile and sigh. I go back into the kitchen and make myself some coffee. I take a sip and close my eyes. Sakura comes into the kitchen. I can smell her, even though my eyes are shut and I can't see her. I could smell her from almost a mile away.
"Hey Sakura," I say with my eyes still shut.
"Hey Kuroi ookami, could we talk for a moment in private," Sakura asked in a subtle voice.
"Um, Sure yea. We can go in my room," I say and then walk by Sakura's side into my room. I plop down onto my bed and pat my hand where I want her to sit.
"Do you remeber the chuunin exams how I turned down Rock Lee," she asks. I think for a moment then nod.
"Well I...I think I...I want to, I want to date him. He may be weird and a bit hyper at times but, I've grown to really like him. Last month we went on a mission together and I got to know him so well. I really wish I'd spent more time with him. He made me feel great about who I was and not only that he has such a cute smile. Huh...I need my bushybrows. How do I tell him after all this time I just lusted after Sasuke and payed him no attention? I want to tell him so much that I want to be with him, but how do I do it," Sakura finnaly finished. I sighed. Why was I everyones love counsler? "Look he is a really forgiving person, I'm sure if you just apologize and then ask him out he will be totally ecstatic. Don't worry to much because you'll probably worry over nothing. Trust me I've seen the way he looks at you, I promise you he will be so overwhelmed when you ask him out. In a good way of course," I say. She smiles then glomps me. "Your such a good friend," she was crying happy tears. I could smell the salt in them. The smell repulses me. I hugged her back tightly and smiled. This was going to be a day I would never forget.
"I love you so much Kuroi ookami." Sakura said. I sigh and smile.
"I love you to Sakura chan," I coo. She lets me go and pulls back. Ino walks in and sits by my other side. She fiddles with her pony tail and smiles. "Hey Kuroi ookami, what do you think about Naruto kun?" Ino askes. I look back at her with confusion.
"Why?" I ask with a bit of venom. "Well if you like him," she flips her hair,"I could like totally hook you up." she said. I glance shockingly at her. My soul just died. How did she know? Did Ryuu tell her? Damn it I'm totally gonna kill him. I twitch and a vien in my forhead pulsed.
"Hold on I have to go check on my brother." I said standing up. Boy was he dead. I walk out of my room and shut my door. I put on a psychotic smile and walked down the hallway.
"So Grandma, what do you need us for," Naruto asked Tsunade. I smile and roll my eyes. "Kuroi, I need you and Naruto to go to Suna. I need you to take one chuunin, I recommend your sister, Kuroi. So go ahead and decied between the both of you who else your going to take. But you will recieve further details on your mission when you arive in Suna. You will be leaving tomorrow,"Tsunade said.
