Babiesaurus: Hi! Thank you thank, you for making it so far! XD. I didn't think people would read this...Okay, first things first. Other than thanking you, I would also like to apologize for losing Sasuke's emo-ness after the beginning. I read it over and was like "He doesn't sound emo anymore." But, at least hopefully it sounds good. I am not sure...but please tell me! =P. And, in the last chapter, I did not only Sasuke's perspective, but others as well. Sorry for that! I never stick to one thing for long...

Onto the story now!

Sasuke didn't see Kitsune or Sakura for a long time after heading into the other room. Sasuke's curiosity got the best of him when the delicious aromas of their dinner filled the living room. The others smelled it too, and Tonbo's smile widened.

"Supper's almost ready! Hell yeah!" He yelled. Naruto eventually started drooling all over the couch. Tonbo laughed at him, and Ookami left to the other room. Sasuke followed. He wanted to know what was giving off such a lip-smacking scent.

The kitchen was fairly big, and the smell there was strong. It not only filled the kitchen, but it gave off some sort of haze, one that made you hungry. Kitsune was at the stove, making what looked like pork, or some type of meat. Sasuke didn't know what. He looked around. There were three pots or pans on the stove. One with rice, the other with vegetables, and one with the meat.

There were many types of herbs and spices beside the stove, and Sasuke tried his hardest to find out what they were. The only one he could make out, however, was oregano. The one that is most commonly used on pizza. The only way Sasuke knew that, was by a mission he and his team was assigned to. Helping out at the pizza shop.

"It smells amazing. What did you use again?" Sakura asked. Kitsune smiled. "Whoa, she smiled. Never thought it was possible." Sasuke silently taunted.

"Oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, pepper, and the smallest bit of chilli flakes." Kitsune told her. That actually sounds good. Sasuke's mouth watered. "I actually understand why he's drooling this time." He thought about Naruto.

"Is it ready?" Ookami asked. His voice changed, it seemed to have a rougher edge to it. Sasuke was somewhat shocked. The only emotion he heard in Ookami's voice was friendliness and excitement; he hadn't expected him to have such a gruff impatience about him.

"Almost, nii-san, be patient. You'll scare Hot Shot over there." She tilted her neck swiftly in Sasuke's direction. The raven-haired boy was offended. He was never scared of anything. Surely, he wouldn't be scared of Ookami.

"Patience, why does that sound hard all the damn time?" Ookami grumbled. Kitsune smiled again. Sasuke took his immediate change in the boy's behaviour as a possible threat, and Kitsune was disregarding it. "Don't be so edgy, god damn it. I think she notices." He told himself.

"Bah...That doesn't seem likely." Sasuke murmured. Kitsune rolled her eyes. Ookami grinned. Even though the black-haired boy just did seem somewhat crazy, Sasuke smiled as well.

"I don't think I'll scare him off that easily. That's your thing." He said. The boy's twin smiled once again.

"So far, I'm not doing a good job of it. He's still here." Kitsune stated. "But, I suppose Sasuke is just like a type of mold...he might grow on you."

Sasuke stopped for a second. Wasn't that the same metaphor he used for Sakura not too long ago? Okay, maybe an hour ago but, still. Before he liked her. That is...odd.

"Whoa, where'd that come from, nee-chan?" Ookami asked. Kitsune shrugged.

"Don't know. Thought in my head popped up and it sounded perfect for the bastard in the corner." She remarked. Sasuke gritted his teeth. Bastard in the corner? Who does she think she is? He forgot momentarily about the strange coincidence and was ready to punch the pink-eyed girl. He lifted his fist and... A wooden spoon hit him square on the head. It stung sharply, but the pain quickly dulled away. Sasuke glared at the girl.

"Do you think I'm blind or what? I could see what you were doing, even if it was quite fast." Kitsune complimented and insulted at the same time. She was able to read his movements, and managed to hit with the spoon with faster motions.

"I was close, wasn't I? Next time you won't be so lucky." Sasuke mumbled. Sakura giggled. "Wow. Kitsune sure makes Sasuke look dumb, but he'll come around...hopefully." She thought.

"Next time? I'd love to see that." She retorted. He rolled his eyes and left the room. "That goddamn bitch gets on my nerves. But Sakura was right; she is quite trained in fighting. I wouldn't say the ninja arts, though." Sasuke silently observed.

"Hey bastard Sasuke! Did you get hit by Kitsune-chan again?" Naruto yelled. Sasuke looked at him with an ice-cold stare.

"Not by HER, with her spoon." Sasuke corrected. Like that's going to help. Naruto burst out laughing, and Tonbo shook his head. The young blonde wiped his face from the tears that rolled down his face. "What's so funny? I got hit with a...Okay, I get it now. Damn bitch. I'm going to kill her for making Naruto laugh this hard about me." Sasuke thought bitterly.

"Hey, Kitsune and her spoon are quite deadly...God knows how many spoons she broke by hitting me so hard." Tonbo backed Sasuke up, but only for a moment, "But you, the almighty Sasuke Uchiha, should've seen that coming up. You're not as bright as they say you are." Sasuke bit his inner lip to keep him from hitting Tonbo. He WANTED to like him, and only hate one person on the other team, but this guy just didn't want it that way.

"I'll think I'll leave. I'll go crazy before supper is finished." Sasuke said to no one. He headed for the door, only to have it swing open. He stepped back, barely dodging it. And a silver and navy blue blur burst into the apartment.

"I'm so sorry I'm late! I didn't mean to be. Are you guys okay? Did something happen?" A woman's voice exclaimed with concern. "Late? Heh, reminds me of a certain someone," Sasuke thought.

"Komugi, we're fine. Don't be such a worry-wart. And we don't care if you're late. It's sorta to be expected from you." Tonbo said to the woman who was now standing beside the couch. She had waist-length silver hair that covered her right eye. And most of her face was covered in an Arabian-like mask. Her attire consisted of navy blue shirt and pants. Simple. But also very familiar.

"Really? Are you sure? I mean, um, never mind. I should have faith in you guys." The woman named Komugi said quickly. Tonbo's grin that was glued on him widened.

"Yeah, you should. Kitsune already started supper, and Ookami's probably bugging her for it." Tonbo told her. Komugi sighed with relief. She let her self sit on the couch. She looked at the two boys who didn't live in the apartment.

"You're Kakashi-senpai's kids, aren't you?" She asked the two boys. They nodded. Suddenly, Naruto stood up and stared at Komugi with only a few inches between them.

"You look a lot like Kakashi-sensei...and you're like him, too." Naruto stated. He backed away, leaving the silver-haired woman quite shocked. Then she looked as if she was smiling.

"Of course I do. We're cousins. Sokumo Hatake was my uncle. That's Kakashi-senpai's father." Komugi explained. Sasuke now understood the familiarity of her, she was Kakashi's kinsmen.

"Suppertime!" Sakura called out from inside the kitchen. Naruto, brought back to the thought of food, drooled heavily and immediately went to the table not far from the kitchen. Tonbo followed, whooping. Komugi looked as if she was smiling and headed to the table. Sasuke decided to go to the table when the food was brought.

The dish was a bit different than Sasuke had thought. Instead of the rice, vegetables, and meat all separated, they were stirred together. Soy sauce was poured over the stir-fry, making the aroma of the food even more delicious. Everyone also received a biscuit. The table was full of chatter, mainly about how good the dish was. Naruto and Sasuke both ate furiously, not only because it was delicious, they were also competing. It was something they always did.

"I want some more!" They both yelled at the same time. Sakura immediately recognized the scene. She remembered the last mission they were assigned to, escorting the bridge-maker. "They were doing the exact same thing." Sakura smiled at the thought.

"Okay, but get it yourself. The pot is in the kitchen." Kitsune told them. The two nodded, and ran to the kitchen. The pushed each other and fought to get to the pot.

"Out of my way, dumb-ass!"

"You bastard! I'll get there first."

Once they reached the pot, they fought for the spoon. After a few minutes, Sasuke having the upper-hand, they were stopped. For another fight to begin.

"No! Damn idiot! I'll get more before you!"

"Ha! That doesn't seem likely, you stupid moron!"

Ookami and Tonbo pushed each other and hit one another. Practically, it was the same scene replayed. Once the two reached Sasuke and Naruto, it became a full-out brawl. All four of them wouldn't let another get the spoon first. They were levelled out, no one had the upper hand. The spoon was always out of reach.

Suddenly, through all the cursing and punches, there was...laughter. All four of them paused. Sasuke had Tonbo in a headlock, while Ookami kept Naruto in a hold on the ground. They looked at the spoon, which had disappeared from the spot it was thrown to. Then they looked at the pot, where Kitsune, having a second bowl, was laughing hard.

"You guys...Wow," She started laughing again. "Who knew you boys would make such a fuss over who would have the first seconds." She smiled widely and took a bite of her stir-fry.

"I personally think it's a male dominance type of thing." Sakura said, walking in from the living/dining room. Kitsune grinned and motioned to the pot of leftovers. The pink-haired girl shook her head.

"No thanks, I'm on a diet." She told her. Kitsune nodded and began eating from her bowl. The boys eventually loosened their grip on each other...but glared instead. They each grabbed a bowl of seconds.

They all ate like a horse, except Komugi and Sakura. However, they all got sick. Horribly. Tonbo, Ookami, Naruto and Sasuke left the apartment to throw up outside while Kitsune was in the bathroom, vomiting in the toilet.

After an hour of just-made-its and non-stop puking, Komugi, Sakura and Kitsune settled into the couch, and Ookami and Sasuke were on the loveseat. Tonbo and Naruto were sitting on the floor. They were all watching a movie, Spider-Man.

"Jeez, Spider-Man is sometimes hard to believe. But, I guess that's why some people watch it." Sasuke thought. He smirked at the T.V. Spider sense. He wondered if that could be possible, having an insect's ability to sense danger before it comes. "I think the Aburame clan has something like that."

"I would so love to be Mary-Jane." Sakura said wistfully. "Having a hero like Spider-Man." Komugi nodded and they both drifted off into space.

"Do you know who I would be? Black Cat. Being a good guy AND a bad guy at the same time. I'd love that." Kitsune grinned mischievously. Naruto grinned too.

"I would be...Um, I don't know." Naruto thought it over. Then he exclaimed, "GREEN GOBLIN! BELIEVE IT!"

"I would be...Venom. A stronger replica of Spider-Man and a thirst for power." Tonbo had a dark smile plastered on his face, mimicking his usual playful grin.

"Sand-Man! He's a good guy turned bad guy and then he turned into a good guy again. And he can't seem to die." Ookami said. Naruto gave him a thumbs-up. Everyone turned expectantly to Sasuke, but he didn't know what to say. He barely knew anyone from the Marvel Universe. So he went with an easy one.

"...Spider-Man, I suppose...He's strong, and I like the idea of knowing when something's gonna happen." He explained. Everyone shrugged in agreement, and they went into watching Spider-Man 2.

"Tonight wasn't what I expected, but one thing was for sure. It was one hell of a night." Sasuke thought as he walked to his compound. He wondered how long this team improvement idea was going to last. It might be for awhile, or just a short period. No matter what, Sasuke hoped that it'll help bring his little plan together.
