Another day another chapter, dearies. I hope you are enjoying the story so far. This chapter begins the Konoha adventure for our intrepid family. Please read and review. Now onward we go!

Chapter Two

They had been in Konoha for four months now getting their business license, meeting fellow businessmen and the local people, generating interest in the shops in preparation to opening them to the public, and setting up deliveries. They started with the dance studio because it was the easiest. They mapped out how much room they would need for martial arts classes and then placed couches along the wall that was made out of windows for dance customer's comfort. They put shelves on the wall to hold their trophies for dance and capoeira and installed a locker room so customers could change. A cooler was installed by the couches for customers to purchase drinks after their workouts.

The art studio was not really a business so Deidara, Kankuro, Naruto, and Gaara staked a claim for territory. Deidara and Gaara painted so they set up easels and tables for their area. Naruto sculpted so he set up his area far away from everyone else so he didn't get his cast-offs and dust into their creations. Kankuro worked with clay so he set up near the kiln and potter's wheel.

The once dusty bakery had gotten an overhaul and was now gleaming brightly and smelled heavenly. Two tables with two chair each and one couch was placed along the entrance for customer's comfort as with the dance studio, but it didn't encourage customers to loiter. A coffee/tea station was put up for customers so they could help themselves to a complimentary hot drink with a purchase. A cooler was on the far wall where soda, juice, and bottles of water were for sale. Gaara and Deidara made a new signs for the bakery and the studio. They were now ready to open for business after months of preparation.

Italian and French loaves were in a basket on the counter top wrapped in cellophane. Croissants were in a basket next to the loaves of bread. Bagels were in a basket next to the croissants and jams and jellies in individual packages were next to them. Beautifully decorated cakes, pastries, brownies, and cookies were all lined in the glass cases on display. Iruka bent to made sure that the condiments were in the fridge under the counter for the goods. He and the others had been at the shop since sunrise baking.

Iruka stood up behind the counter straightening it nervously for the hundredth time that morning. Gaara was in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on the cake he was decorating. He brought it out and put it into the glass case with the other sugary confections. Taking out a brownie he took a bite out of it. Naruto was at the coffee machine making coffee.

"Hey now! Those are for the customers," Iruka chided gently.

"Nii-chan, we've been working all morning," Naruto whined to his brother. "Can't we have one or ten?" he asked as he batted his long dark blond eyelashes.

Iruka groaned, "You know I can't resist my adorable otoutos. I'll charge you a cup of your coffee though."

"Deal!" Naruto said as he snatched a cookie from the case.

Kankuro grabbed a croissant from the basket. He pulled a piece off and popped it into his mouth and moaned in delight. Nobody baked like his Iruka nii-chan. "What are you tools up to today?"

"Temari and I are going to take a look around the beach area and see what the surf is like." At Kankuro's look Naruto held up his hand, "Don't worry, we're not really going to surf it's just a scouting trip. Maybe we'll put up some fliers for dance and martial arts classes. Gaara's gonna stay here with nii-chan."

Deidara grabbed a bagel, toasted it and put cream cheese on it. "I should get on the sound system. Iruka-chan is going to open soon." He turned to Iruka and asked, "What kind of music do you want today, nii-chan?"

"Classical please; Chopin, Beethoven, Debussy, Ravel, and Mozart of course," Iruka said happily. Temari clapped her hands and Gaara smiled.

"Dub-step the next day, right?" Deidara asked as he grinned.

"If my adorable otouto wants it, I think we can work that out. I think it may draw teens to the shop after school. Maybe we can ask customers what they want to hear too," Iruka agreed pinching Deidara's cheek.

"Nii-chan you rock!" Naruto said.

"Naruto, we gotta get going I want to make it back and it will be at least three hours round trip and it's almost nine." Naruto grabbed more cookies and a bagel of his own before tossing Temari a croissant. "All that driving for no surfing!" she moaned.

Deidara patted the top of her head. "We'll go in a couple of weeks as a reward for all of our hard work. That's why you guys are going out to find the quickest way, uh."

"Fuck yeah," Naruto yelled as he threw a fist in the air. He tossed a wave over his shoulder as he ran out the door.

Iruka smiled after them and moved to the counter to make a cup of coffee. "Anyone else want a cup?" he asked.

"No thanks," Deidara said. "I'm high on life!"

Kankuro smiled at his siblings. He grabbed his own cup and added cream. He ruffled Gaara's hair as he passed. "I'll be in the dance studio putting out our trophies if you need me. I want to put up a couple of bars too."

Deidara winked and went to see to the sound system for the bakery before setting up the sound system for the dance studio. Iruka took a deep breath and turned to open the door for business.

When noon came around, the shop had a steady flow of customers who had come in out of curiosity but stayed to buy lots of goodies after sampling Iruka's baking. The atmosphere and good food had many promising they would be repeat customers. Secretaries placed orders for cookies, bagels, and croissants for the office for the following day sure that their bosses would acknowledge their hard work when they ate the treats.

Iruka couldn't have been any happier by the time mid-afternoon came around. Temari and Naruto had called him from the road to let him know they would be home at dinnertime because they were papering the whole town with fliers for Temari's dance studio and their capoeira dojo. They were also checking out the coast for other points of interest. Iruka reminded them to be safe and hung up. He looked at the cases and saw that they were almost empty. He had not baked a lot to be on the safe side since he didn't want to be stuck with a lot of leftovers if the bakery was a failure. He left Deidara to run the front of the bakery while he and Kankuro went about getting the next morning's orders. Gaara was up in the art studio painting.

Deidara looked up as the bell over the shop door rang violently. He saw a set of twins running through the door they couldn't have been older than elementary school age. Looking at the clock, he saw it was two-thirty. 'School's out now?' he thought to himself.

"Aniki," they yelled as they ran to the counter, "Help us, please. Our cousins are being chased by bad guys!" their voices rose franticly as they explained together.

Kankuro and Iruka came out of the kitchen as they heard the commotion. "What's going on, Dei?" Kankuro asked.

"These little guys say their cousins are being bullied by some kids," Deidara explained.

"Not kids, bad guys. They have a knife and they are old. Koyuki pushed us in here to keep us safe then she ran down the alley and Fuyuki followed her!" the boys explained.

Iruka's eyes hardened. "Dei, Kan you guys are with me, call Gaara to come down and protect these guys."

They waited until Gaara entered the shop and explained the situation to him. "Be careful," he said as he closed the door behind them. "Do you have someone you can call?" he asked as handed the phone to the little boys.

Iruka, Deidara and Kankuro ran down the alley splitting up with Iruka taking the lead. He would draw their attention while his brothers attacked from the side. He ran towards the sound of a girl screaming "Let him go!"

"C'mon honey, don't be like that. You come with us, daddy will pay the ransom, and in the mean time we can have a little fun." Iruka could see the thug approach the girl with his knife extended. "I can make you feel real good." The thug dragged his knife down the girl's shirt. Iruka could see that the girl was terrified as the thugs three cohorts chuckled.

"Get away from nee-chan!" the boy yelled. Iruka could see that he was being restrained by his upper arms as he tried to twist away.

The thug turned toward the boy and walked toward him. He put the knife at the boy's throat and pressed. When Iruka saw a bead of crimson and heard the boy cry out, he knew he had no time to wait for his brothers to get into place. He stepped from behind the corner and said in a low deadly voice, "Let them go."

"Fuck off, bastard!" the thug bellowed. He raised the knife threateningly over the boy.

Iruka launched himself at the armed thug using his training in capoeira he knocked the knife away. Iruka spun kicking the thug in the side of the head and he dropped like a stone. Iruka heel kicked the thug in the face knocking him out. He then turned his attention to the thug holding the boy. The thug threw the boy at Iruka and turned to run but Iruka flipped until he had cut off the thug's retreat. He swept the thug's feet from under him and knocked him out with a punch to the side of the head. He looked up in time to see the other thugs fall from his brother's attack. After dealing with the immediate threat, Iruka turned to the frightened kids and smiled gently. "Are you okay?" he asked as he approached slowly.

Deidara and Kankuro watched the alley as Iruka dealt with the kids. The kids walked backwards until they had backed into the building behind them to get away from their rescuers. Iruka had a gentle smile right now, but he and his companions had scared the kids as much as the thugs had when they were fighting.

"My name is Iruka and these are my brothers Deidara and Kankuro," he began again trying to soothe the frazzled nerves of the duo in front of him. The thug that had attacked with the knife groaned from the ground.

"Iruka, we gotta move now before they wake up," Kankuro warned.

Deidara knocked the thug into a deeper sleep with a well placed punch. "C'mon kids, your little cousins are worried shitless about you."

"Where are my cousins? What have you done to them?" the girl screeched. She wrapped her arms around herself to control her trembling. Her eyes darted around wildly.

"They're fine. Follow us and we'll take you to them," Iruka said gently. He held out his hand for the girl, pleading with his eyes to trust him.

The boy realized that these guys were actually their saviors and not someone else who meant them harm. He grabbed his sister's hand and gently pulled her forward. "Come on, nee-chan. It's not safe here."

The girl allowed her brother to guide her toward Iruka who stepped aside and allowed them to go between him and his brothers. Iruka took up position to protect from rear attack, Kankuro took right flank and Deidara took lead. They formed a semi-circle of protection around the shaken kids. They led them to the shop where Deidara unlocked the door. Gaara had put the closed sign up and locked it to protect the kids inside. He breathed a sigh of relief when his brothers came into the shop.

"Are you okay?" Gaara asked.

"Yeah, just a bunch of fuckin' punks," Deidara said disgust lacing his voice. He refused to say more, but Gaara could understand from his tone it was bad. He motioned for the kids to sit down.

"Get the first aid kit and some disinfectant." Kankuro said to Gaara before he turned to Iruka. "I think they would be more comfortable with you cleaning and bandaging them up," he said. Gaara raised a thin russet eyebrow at his brother. They locked eyes for a minute communicating silently. Gaara walked out of the room dialing his phone when their eyes broke from one another.

"Gaara's calling the cops," Deidara commented as he stepped behind the counter to get the twins a snack.

Iruka nodded as he dropped to his knees in front of the injured children when Gaara brought the first aid kit in. "Sorry if this hurts. My brothers usually complain when I do this for them. My name is Iruka," he reminded them gently. "What is yours?" he asked the girl as he pulled away her knee socks and washed her wound with clean water and applied disinfectant. Hearing the girl's sharp intake of breath, he blew on the wound to ease the pain.

The girl had her eyes squeezed tight. "Koyuki," she whispered.

"That's a beautiful name. How old are you, Koyuki?" he asked more questions to distract the girl from the pain in her knee. He picked out gravel that was embedded in the skin and applied more disinfectant.

"Th-thirteen," the girl replied. She had her hands squeezed into fists.

Iruka heard Deidara curse in the background. He put gauze on the girl's knee and wrapped it with a bandage. He smiled at the girl and patted her good knee. "There, better than ever. You were very brave to save your cousins like that, Koyuki. They're lucky to have you."

The girl opened her silver grey eyes and looked at Iruka. He saw the tears swimming in their depths. The girl had long straight black hair and porcelain skin that complimented her eyes. Her delicate features were pinched with pain and covered with a light blush. "Thank you," she bowed her head to him.

Iruka gave the girl's good knee another reassuring pat and moved to kneel in front of the boy. His dark grey eyes regarded him warily. "What's your name?" he asked gently. He grasped his chin and turned his head to the side to get a clear view of his wound. He nodded with satisfaction when she saw it was shallow.

"Fuyuki and I'm ten," the boy replied.

Iruka nodded as he cleaned his wound and patted it dry. "You were brave too. You protected your sister until help came." He applied disinfectant and put a gauze bandage and some tape over the boy's wound. When he let go of his chin and the boy looked down.

"All I did was got caught and gave them more leverage," he said. His features, like his sisters were delicate and pale and were pulled into a sneer. His hair was silver and it stuck up and at a forty-five degree angle on top of his head.

The girl squeezed her brother's hand. "Nii-san, you were brave. You ran into that dark alley behind me, I was so scared!"

Fuyuki's eyes softened and he spared a small smile for his sister. "Thanks Koyuki, I feel better now." Iruka patted his knee too before getting up and moving away.

Koyuki smiled shyly as she pointed to twin boys on the couch. "These are our cousins, he is Kei and he is Kai they're five."

The older occupants greeted the boys who remained silent barely moving now except for occasionally biting their lips. They had pitch black hair and onyx eyes and any light that may penetrate them would be swallowed up by the darkness that lay in there. They also had porcelain pale delicate features as well and their expressions were hidden behind blank masks. They were staring intently at Deidara.

"Don't any of you kids get out in the sun?" Deidara asked as he looked at all of them. "You look like ghosts!"

"Dei, that's not nice!" Iruka yelled.

The twins whispered to one another for a minute before one of them looked at Deidara and said, "You're pretty. Wanna be our bride?"

Gaara snorted while Kankuro howled with laughter. "You got to hand it to kids. They just get through a dangerous situation and recover enough to troll for booty!" he wiped a tear from the corner of his eye as Deidara growled at him. Iruka's lips twitched.

"Un, the only way I'd be your bride is if you were billionaires who buy me everything I want," Deidara tossed his head.

"Okay!" the twins said excitedly while the other children laughed.

Koyuki stood and walked over to Iruka, Kankuro, and Deidara her face red. "I never thanked you sir," she said as she stood in front of Iruka and bowed low. "Thank you for saving us." As she straightened up she gasped and put her hands to her mouth. "You're bleeding!" she yelled as she grabbed Iruka's arm.

Iruka winced at the tightness of the girl's grasp. Gaara moved the girl away and pushed Iruka down on the couch and ripped the sleeve from his shirt. A long thin gash ran across his bicep and down his forearm. "Will you look at that? I didn't even feel it."

"Goddamn, it nii-chan you were supposed to wait for us. I knew something was gonna happen!" Kankuro raged at his brother.

Iruka's eyes turned stern and darted to the kids. "I'm fine, Kan. You're scaring them," he nodded his head at the ashen group. He held his arm so Gaara could patch him up.

"Should we go for stitches?" Gaara asked as he looked the wound over.

Iruka looked at the cut. "Nah, it'll be okay. Just patch me up like always and I'll be as good as new. It's not bleeding anymore and now I can make you guys do all of the heavy lifting for me."

"Everything's a fuckin' joke," Deidara mumbled as he watched Gaara's every move with a concerned look on his face.

"I'm so sorry, sir. We never meant for anyone to get hurt!" Koyuki cried as she threw herself at Iruka who grunted from the impact.

He patted her head gently as he dared his family with his eyes to say anything to the girl for her rash actions. "It's okay, Koyuki. Don't cry." While Iruka was calming the hysterical teen on his lap, the door to the bakery was nearly wrenched off of its hinges. Gaara, Kankuro, and Deidara turned to face the new threat.

"They wouldn't be so stupid," Deidara began.

"We can hope," Gaara said darkly.

A man with silver hair and one dark grey right eye and one light brown left eye with a scar that ran vertically bisecting the brow, eyelid and upper cheek burst in the door. His fine porcelain features taut with worry. He spied his daughter in the lap of a strange man and rage poured through him like acid. "Get the fuck away from my daughter!" he roared at Iruka and lunged to attack. His fist plowed forward toward the face of the bewildered man but before it could connect it was caught in a crushing grip.

"Do not touch nii-chan," Gaara said in a deadly voice barely above a whisper. Anger flashed through his jade eyes which promised pain if the man tried to hit Iruka.

"Otou-san stop! He helped save us. He was cut by a knife when he and his brothers rescued nee-san and me!" Fuyuki screamed at his father.

The man wrenched out of Gaara's grasp and blinked a couple of times to take in the scene. Iruka had moved Koyuki out of danger before he was attacked. The man saw his daughter looked terrified as she cowered behind the man in front of him. He looked at the man protecting his daughter. The man had large beautiful chocolate colored eyes and his chestnut hair was gathered in a high pony tail at the top of his head. His skin had a caramel color to it. There was a thin white scar that spanned the bridge of his nose. His right shirt sleeve was ripped off leaving his arm exposed and he could see a long thin gash that ran the length of his arm.

A blush crept up into the silver scarecrow's face. "I'm so sorry. The boys called me and I just…I misjudged the situation."

Iruka smiled kindly at the overwhelmed father. "It's okay," he said gently, "I understand. Please sit…uh…"

"Hatake Kakashi," the man supplied.

Iruka's smile warmed further, "Hatake-san. Please sit and I'll explain." Gaara moved to Iruka's right arm again as Kakashi sat at a table. "My name is Umino Iruka and these are my brothers Deidara, Kankuro, and Gaara. We have another brother named Naruto and a sister named Temari who are gone at the moment. Those boys there were pushed into the bakery by your daughter and son who led attackers away by running down the alley. The boys told us where my brothers and I could find Koyuki and Fuyuki. They were cornered by four men who were trying to kidnap them for ransom. My brothers and I knocked them out and brought the kids here. They had some minor wounds and they were treated."

"Great, now I feel worse," Kakashi mumbled, "And your arm?" He continued to stare at the man in front of him. He was truly beautiful. He looked so innocent and pure, Kakashi wanted to corrupt him. Kakashi reprimanded himself for his thoughts. The man had just saved his kids and nephews and all he could think of was how to get him in bed. In Kakashi's defense, if the man named Iruka hadn't looked so appealing he could control himself better.

Iruka smiled sheepishly a slight blush creeping into his cheeks, "One had a knife and I got careless." Gaara had finished wrapping Iruka's arm and moved away. He left the room to get painkillers and a glass of water handing them to Iruka. He then went to the supply closet and grabbed disinfectant wipes and shooed everyone off of the couch and cleaned it up.

When Iruka stood, Kakashi sized him up. He appeared to be around five feet nine inches to Kakashi's five feet eleven inches. He was lithe with lean muscles and Kakashi knew that his body would fit his own perfectly. Kakashi drooled at the caramel skin. He looked at all of the siblings and noticed that all of them had the same skin tone.

The bell over the door of the shop rang again as someone else stepped into the shop. "I'm gonna take that fucking thing down and bury it ten feet under the ground!" Kankuro mumbled to himself. He shrugged when Iruka shot him a glare.

A woman stood in the doorway of the shop looking around nervously. Her posture relaxed a little when she saw Kakashi though she still looked around the shop as though she was searching for something. The woman was five feet eight inches, her hair was midnight, and her eyes were dark grey. Her skin was porcelain as well; to which Deidara mumbled something about putting garlic over the door rather than the annoying bell. She was one of the most beautiful women any of them had ever seen.

"Obaa-san!" the duo of dark haired dark eyed boys shouted as soon as they saw her. They ran to her and wrapped their arms around her knees.

"My boys!" she cried out as she gathered them to her. Her whole body relaxed once she had made sure the pair was okay. She turned to face Kakashi.

"Nee-san let me introduce Umino Iruka and his brothers Deidara, Kankuro, and Gaara. They have another brother named Naruto and a sister named Temari who are out at this time," Kakashi repeated word for word stunning Iruka with his recall.

"They saved us, oba-san," Koyuki said as she latched herself on to Kankuro's hand. He looked decidedly ill when she refused to let go.

"Uchiha Mikoto," the dark beauty said as she held out her hand which Iruka took in his. "I am so pleased to meet you, Umino-san."

"Please call me Iruka, everyone does Uchiha-san."

"Then you must call me Mikoto. I insist you all do. Thank you for saving my little ones. I can never repay you," she said as she wiped her eye.

"Maa, maa it was nothing," Iruka said uncomfortably.

"That's not true obaa-san. Umino-san was cut by those guys!" one of the twins argued. Iruka scratched at the scar across his nose nervously and blushed a very dark shade of red. His family knew he was getting stressed out they were just unsure how to help. Iruka was used to being their hero, but he was way too modest to be anyone else's hero.

Temari and Naruto chose that time to come into the shop. "Hey, I thought you guys would be all closed up by now and counting all of our money!" Naruto joked. He looked around the room and when his eyes fell on Iruka they glittered dangerously. "What happened to nii-chan?"

Gaara motioned for them to follow him so he could tell them what had happened. It didn't take long before everyone heard "Motherfucker!" shouted from the kitchen followed by "I told you it was taking too goddamned long, Naruto!"

Iruka shifted uncomfortably and raised his voice so he could be heard in the kitchen. "Still little kids out here, ya know!" He smiled apologetically to Kakashi and Mikoto.

"Sorry nii-chan," they said.

Kakashi had barely taken his eyes off of Iruka. It was a fact that his sister was becoming acutely aware of the longer they were in the shop. She arched a delicate brow as she observed her brother as he attempted to stare without staring.

"That son of a bitch tried to hit nii-chan?" was heard from the kitchen.

"Naruto!" Iruka barked.

"Sorry nii-chan."

Kakashi's face flamed as he remembered attacking Iruka. Mikoto's eyes went wide when she saw the guilt on her brother's face. She had known Kakashi all of his life and she had never seen him look guilty… ever. Kakashi was born to her parents late in life and was only a few years older than Mikoto's oldest son Itachi. He had always been horribly spoiled by everyone in their family including her. He never had to work to obtain anything it just came to him so he didn't appreciate anything other than his children.

He had two failed marriages, one when he was sixteen to rebel against their parents to a level headed girl named Shizune. The girl had been head over heels in love with Kakashi and would do anything for him. The children came from her. Shizune tried to make their marriage work, but Kakashi was unable to love her. She eventually left and refused to have anything to do with Kakashi or the kids anymore because it hurt her too much.

His next marriage was to a vapid super model named Anko which lasted seventy-two hours. She married him for her career and he married her because he was bored.

Mikoto looked at Iruka. She could tell that this man loved deeply and was loved by his family. He looked like the type that worked hard at everything. He was uncomfortable with attention, kind, and caring. He was also really easy on the eyes as was everyone in his family. She had noticed two of them had facial tattoos and Iruka and the youngest blond had scars on their faces but that didn't detract from their looks. The girl never made direct eye contact and appeared closed off, and the older blond was stunning, but closed off as well. Mikoto didn't need a degree in psychology to tell that these people had deep emotional scares but they were trying hard to overcome them.

Lost in thought, Mikoto almost didn't feel her twin grandsons pull her hand. "Obaa-san…obaa-san… Kai and me have to tell you we found our bride," Kei whispered loudly to her.

"Who would that be," she teased.

"Deidara-chan," Kai said in a dreamy tone of voice.

"He'll marry us because we're billionaires who buy him stuff." Kai explained.

Mikoto stifled a giggle behind her hand. This was going to be fun and exactly what her family needed.

Deidara groaned. "Squirts," he mumbled. "Iruka-chan we need to get you home now. You know how Naruto gets. Gaara's having a hard time keeping him occupied."

Mikoto looked at Iruka's right arm that was bandaged from shoulder to wrist. Blood was beginning to seep through in spots. Her face paled. "Of course you do. I'm sorry Deidara-san. Please take Iruka-san home and tend to him. I'll drop back by tomorrow to see how he is," she promised as she gathered her family together.

"Please don't worry…" Iruka began only to be cut off.

"I won't take no for any answer," Mikoto said firmly. "Kakashi…" she left it hanging and walked out of the shop with a cheery wave to the owners.

Kei and Kai walked up to Deidara and each kissed his hand before walking to their grandmother who was waiting in the doorway. They bowed to everyone else and walked out of the shop to the waiting car while Deidara sputtered.

"Thank you again for saving us," Koyuki said as she and her brother bowed to Iruka and his family.

"Sorry about trying to hit you…" Kakashi began.

Iruka waved a hand in dismissal. "Don't worry about it, Hatake-san. I completely understand."

"Call me Kakashi," he instructed as he leaned in, "Because I fully intend to call you Iruka-chan…" he said in a low sultry voice. He winked at a gaping Iruka and followed his children out the door.

"Nii-chan, what did he say to you?" Deidara asked as he looked at Iruka's stunned face.

Iruka shook himself. "Nothing, Dei, he just thanked me."

Kankuro saw the swept away look on his brother's face and rubbed his chin. "Those kids were kind of cute; especially Dei's fiancés."

Everybody laughed as Deidara scowled. Iruka said, "They were adorable weren't they? You could do so much worse." Everybody laughed again.

"Kakashi was really handsome too, huh nii-chan?" Kankuro asked while he was distracted.

"Yes he was. His hair and eyes…" Iruka stopped himself and blushed deeply. He glared at Kankuro. "Let's go home."

"After you nii-chan," Deidara purred.

"There's no way I'm giving nii-chan up to some asshole who tried to hit him!" Naruto shouted. Gaara folded his arms across his chest but said nothing. "That fucker's lucky Gaara didn't kill him. I wanna rip his balls off," he growled.

Temari rolled her eyes, "It's hardly up to you guys if Iruka likes the guy. You two should find your own guy and rip their balls off."

"Or fuck them off!" Deidara said suggestively, laughing as the younger brothers blushed.

""Cock blockers," Kankuro laughed

Iruka growled and chased his screaming brothers out of the building while Temari shook her head and locked up. "Boys," she grumbled as she turned toward the car.

Well, that's it for chapter two. I hope you like it. Now please review!
