YuPoV

Walking through the village I was looking for Tenten or Hinata. I wanted to ask their help because I had no idea on what to wear to my date with Shino. I saw Sakura walking with Hinata. Perhaps I should make things right with Sakura. I am getting tired of our fights. I walked over to them. "Sakura." I called her. They stopped when I approached them.

"What do you want?" She asked as if she was already annoyed.

"I heard that you are very good in medical ninjutsu and I was wondering if you would be willing to teach me a little. Just enough to keep people from dying until someone professional like you or Tsunade can help them."

"Why would you want that? All you're good for is killing." She said. I winced since that was kind of true.

"I am just tired of losing the people I care about. I have lost so many people already. I found my adoptive parent's bodies when Pein was defeated. I couldn't bear it if I lost another person. I hate being unable to save them." I said looking down thinking sadly of all the people I had lost so far.

"Did you really lose so much?" She asked sounding as if she didn't believe me yet.

"I did. The Akatsuki may have wrong ideas of how to obtain peace in this world but I thought of them as a family I never had, with my father, four uncles, a godfather, two brothers, a friend and a godmother. Sure my adoptive family has taken care of me, but once I started at the Academy a distance began to grow between us. As if they got scared of me. In this village I had a surrogate father, a grand father and a few friends."

"I see. I have to think about it." She said flatly and then she walked away. Hinata and I looked after her.

"Hinata, I was looking for you as well. I was hoping that you could help me pick something to wear for tonight."

"W-Why?" She asked me.

"I have a date tonight with Shino and I want to look really nice." I answered her.

"O-okay, let's go." She said and we walked to my house. There we looked through all my clothes and then she found the Kimono I had gotten for my fifteenth birthday from Kakuzu. It was a dark blue one with large white lilies. The obi was just dark blue. I had worn it once.

"T-try this one." Hinata said. I did just that and found that it still fit me. "it l-looks good. When do you l-leave?"

"He picks me up at seven. That is in four hours." I said checking the time. I wasn't completely satisfied with how I looked. Noticing my wriggling nose Hinata suggested that we go look for Ino. She was very fashionable. I agreed and we searched for the female version of Deidara. We found her in the flower shop. I did because Hinata had to leave.

"Ino can you help me to shop for something nice to wear on my date tonight?" Say the words 'shop' 'nice' and 'date' in one sentence and Ino turns into a feminine Naruto. That's how hyper she gets. She asked her mom for a break and dragged me to the shopping district. after three hours of trying dresses, shoes and a beauty salon visit, we went to my house to get ready as she insisted on helping me. She put my hair which the stylist had made wavy, in a messy top bun and let a single strand fall down beside my right eye. She put some light eye-shadow on and a little eye-liner. Then it was time to put my dress on. My dress was a dark violet halter-neck dress that reached just above my knees. It showed the tattoo like kanji's of the Animals I worked with and just the beginning of the scar I have on my left side from the fight with Tora when I met my father.

Satisfied with how I looked, I put on some dark pumps and Ino left after wishing me good luck and after I thanked her for her help. When she opened the door however, Shino was standing there. He looked just fine with his button up shirt, a vest since it was a warm autumn and his dress pants. Of course he wore his sunglasses. "Ah Yuri, your date is here. Have fun." She said and left us alone. Shino looked after her and when he turned his attention to me his eyebrows shot up in surprise and I could see a blush rising on his cheeks. I was glad Tsunade had been able to break through just a little of what seemed to be blinding me. If I now pumped chakra in my eyes, I could see clear shapes and sometimes even just black and white.

"You look beautiful. I got you these." He said and he handed me a small bouquet of several flowers which I didn't know the name of. I made a clone put them in water while we left. I was so glad that I could walk in those shoes very easily. But soon our path got uneven with all the tree-roots sticking out and all the holes in it. I tripped a few times and each time I was caught before I could really fall. Soon I'd had enough of the falling so I took my shoes off and put them in my bag. They could still be useful later. Soon we got to our destination. It was a lovely small restaurant with a home like interior. It felt nice to be there.

"Welcome, may I help you?" The host asked. I felt Shino wrap an arm around me.

"Yes I had reserved a table under Aburame." He said.

"Ah yes I see it here. Follow me please." He said and Shino and I were led to our table. The host helped me with my seat and gave us our menu's. "Someone shall be with you soon." He said and walked away. Shino looked at the menu while I just sat thinking of what I wanted to eat. I couldn't read the menu yet.

"Good-evening, I will be your waiter tonight. Are you ready to order?"

"yes, I would like some Italian tomato-soup with chicken meat." I said. some scribbling as he wrote down my order.

"I would like the same." Shino added. when the waiter didn't ask him anything.

"All right and would the beautiful lady like something to drink?" He asked me. I smiled at the compliment

"Just water please." I said he wrote it down again and then he walked away without asking Shino. How rude. We talked a bit until our food came, about what we had been doing since the last time we saw each other. The food was nice and soon we were sharing some ice. Shino offered me the last bite, and I licked the spoon clean. I moaned a little because the taste was so good. The sweet strawberries and vanilla ice cream melted in my mouth.

When the couple finished their dinner, The waiter came with the bill. Shino paid quickly while Yuri went to the bathroom and they left together. They walked hand in hand until a few kunai shot to Yuri. Shino pulled his girlfriend out of the way just in time, since Yuri didn't move. She probably didn't see them coming. four ninja appeared in the middle of the path. "Who are you?" Yuri asked from behind Shino. He had put her behind him knowing that she would be a the main target.

"We are a few survivors from the attack that girl did with Akatsuki members Deidara and Hoshigaki Kisame, on the Archives of Kirigakure." I remembered it was great fun. I got to make the big entrance for once, since usually Sasori or Itachi would do it and they weren't with us that time. Kisame and I had to save Deidara from his part of the defenders since he was out of clay, again. I didn't know someone had survived that shockingly painful bath.

"I apologize for the inconvenience I have caused you, but I had to show some form of loyalty to the Akatsuki. You see it was my mission to spy on them and send any information I had to my village. I couldn't be doing that if I was dead because they knew what I was doing now could I?"

"No not really."

"And Deidara is dead as is most of Akatsuki due to the intel I had gathered so there isn't really a reason for you attacking me is there?"

"No not really."

"Then what the hell are you doing here, interrupting my precious time off that I wanted to spend with my boyfriend, rather than talking with you for no good reason?"

"We are messengers requesting the Hokage for her presence, for a meeting about what to do since it appears that Sasuke Uchiha has joined the Akatsuki and now that they lost so many members."

"I see thanks for telling me so much classified information. You can go now." I said dismissing them. They left forgetting that I was supposedly an Akatsuki member and they had just told me some very important information. I turned to Shino and he was staring at me. "What?" He didn't say anything but took me in his arms and we transported to the village. When we appeared he had brought me to his house.

There he took me into the living room throwing my purse somewhere, taking his blazer off and his glasses, and he kissed me. The kiss was full of passion, love and a little lust. I kissed back at first a little surprised, but soon I shared his feelings and we made out on the couch. Pulling back Shino answered my question; "The way you acted so calm taking care of those Kiri-ninja's and how you took that last bit of ice cream turned me on. I love it that you can be so strong and yet so soft and sweet sometimes." He said. That was so sweet, I kissed him before he could say anything else and we had a lot of... fun... that night.

The next morning I woke up feeling a little sore. Looking around I saw that I was still at Shino's house and memories of last night flooded back to the front of my mind. I blushed at the thoughts. Shino was still asleep with his arm wrapped around my waist. He looked quite adorable sleeping like this without any worries of the world around us. I snuggled closer and wanted to sleep again when a vision hit me.

I saw Gaara, Danzou an old small men from Tsuchigakure, a woman from Kirigakure, a blond man from Kumogakure and a man from the land of Iron. Then I saw myself as well. I was wearing the headband from Amegakure. Why am I there? They must be the five Kage... The Kage summit. But why is Danzou here? That must mean Tsunade isn't awake yet. Suddenly Zetsu appears calling for someone. He calls for Sasuke? I don't get this at all.

The scene changed. I saw people fighting, several famous ninja who were supposed to be dead fought against Temari and Matsuri and other people. A war.

"...ri!...Yuri!" Shino shook me. The pain in my eyes and my head was much worse than ever before. He got me coherent enough so I could get dressed but that was all. I fainted from the pain I felt. Waking up I had a hard time opening my eyes. I couldn't see anything. I tried pumping some chakra into my eyes but that made my headache return, so I stopped doing that. Remembering what I saw in teh vision I felt around for any clues of where I was.

"Ah, the patient is awake. How are you feeling Yuri?" Sakura asked me. So I was in hospital. Damn it.

"I am just fine. my head aches like hell though as if a a caravan with elephants rode through it." I told her honestly.

"Let's take a look shall we?" She said and I felt a warm feeling that made the pain go away.

"Sakura, how is it going with Tsunade-sama? I have something very important to tell her and only she can know about this." I asked

"Tsunade-shishou is still unconscious but alive. Haven't you heard? Danzou is chosen as the next slash temporary kage. I am sure you can tell him what you want to tell Tsunade."

"No, I can't. Danzou isn't to be trusted and certainly not with this kind of information." I told her.

"Is that because of your 'hatred' for the village or is it because he wants you dead?" She asked

"Neither. With all the things I have learned about the Uchiha massacre and all the other things I have learned and seen, I know that Danzou is not that great of a person." I answered her honestly.

"I see. What will you do then?" she asked.

"I will need to visit Suna then and really soon because I might need to go somewhere else as well otherwise what I know will not be able to be stopped."

"What is the worst that can happen?"

"I don't know." I said

"Okay well, you are ready to go now. I do suggest going to the waiting room, because a certain bug-user was worried sick about you." She said.

"Thank you Sakura. You truly are one of the best. I kind of envy your ability to save the people around you." I thanked the pink haired medic and I left still a little sore.

After taking care of the paperwork I went to the waiting room. "Yuri, how are you feeling?" Shino asked me, wrapping his arms around me.

"Much better but..." I looked down unable to finish the sentence. I have to leave for a while. I didn't want to leave but I had to. I had to warn Gaara. This wasn't something I could use Shadow for because of Zetsu. I had to do it personally.

"But what Yuri? Is something wrong?" He asked me. I sighed deeply and faked a smile.
