Later that evening, Robert and Yuuki were talking to each other and Naome was till passed out on the bed next to Robert's. After a while, Naome shot up with a start after Yuuki said a very dry joke, causing Robert and Yuuki to look at her with confused looks.

"Naome, what happened earlier? Who were those people?" Robert asked.

Naome looked down and let out a sigh seeing no lying her way out of the situation. "They are ninja that are staying with us on Tsunade's orders. Their names are Ryume, the girl from earlier, Kasaigaru, The guy who came into the room after Ryume, Rynn, and Hiruko."

Robert's response was slow and carefully thought out, but the anger in his voice was still audible. "So, total strangers are staying in my house? Am I right, Naome?"

"Yes." Naome's voice had a sad tone in it that made Yuuki feel bad for her.

"And the incident earlier is because of them being here?" Robert's question had an even angrier tone to it and it looked like the vain in his forehead looked like it was about to burst.

"Yes." Naome was almost in tears by now.

Robert's response was completely unexpected. A smile started to form across his mouth.

"How awesome is that?!?" Robert shouted putting his arms behind his head and put on the largest smile anyone had ever seen.

"So... you're not mad?" Naome dared to ask.

"Nope. The opposite. The last visitor we had was Yuuki before I left for my mission." Robert said with pure joy in his voice.

"Wait a minute! You weren't that happy when I stayed at your place!" Yuuki yelled at Robert with her hands on her hips. "Why are you so happy about total strangers staying with us?!?"

"Us?!?" Naome shouted at Robert while shoving her face in to Yuuki's.

"Yes! Us!" she said cuddling up to Robert sticking her tongue at Naome.

"Girls, ple-"

"SHUT UP!!!" both Yuuki and Naome shouted at Robert then continued their argument. Robert tried to sneak out of the room. "YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!" they both shouted as Robert opened the door, grabbing his collar and hauled him across the room.

"Oro-ro!" was all Robert was able to say as they threw him on the bed.

"YOU! ROBERT! TELL HER THAT SHE HAS NO RIGHT TO COME BACK TO THE HOUSE!!!" both girls shouted in his face, then gave each other the Death Glare so fierce, that it scared Robert.

"A-actually Yuuki, this is my sister and kinda lives in the house."

"Hah! Told ya you didn't have any right to go-"

"And Yuuki is kinda my bride-to-be." That statement threw Naome in to a state of shock.

"Bride-to-be... Bride-to-be..." she said staring off into space.

Five minutes passed, but it seemed like an eternity. No one said anything, and Naome was still in her trance.

Yuuki finally broke the silence."What's her problem, babe?"

Robert leaned over and whispered in Yuuki's ear. "She kinda hasn't had any kind of relationship, whereas me, I've had at least five with various kunoichi."

"Ooh. I see now. She's next..." Yuuki then made a ring with her middle finger and thumb on her left hand and put her right index finger in and out. Robert nodded in acknowledgment. "Wow. Didn't know that."

"And every time someone talks about them being-" Robert copied the motion, "she locks up, so to speak."

"Huh, didn't know that."

"Yeah, she had to know, though. I couldn't keep you a secret forever."

"Yeah" Yuuki then looked over at the still entranced Naome." How long will she be like that? Do you know?"

"Probably another hour or so, let's lay her down in the bed. Let's head home."

"You think that's a good idea?" Yuuki sounded real worried about Naome.

"Naw. She's here a lot if she's not with her team. They don't mind her in the beds as long as she puts fresh sheets on them."

Once Robert and Yuuki were outside the hospital

"What do you want for dinner?"

"Now that you mention it, I am hungry. They wouldn't let me eat any food in the hospital."

"Now that's a crime." Yuuki said laughing.

"Well, now. We need to sue." Robert said in an even more jokingly manner.

"Yeah, we-"

'SHE'S YOUR BRIDE-TO-BE?!?!?!" Naome shouted out the window causing everyone to give Robert and Yuuki odd looks.

"Dammit. Looks like we need to get home now. What do you think Yuuki?" Robert asked Yuuki through their born language.

"Yep. We need to see Tsunade first. She's worried about you."

"On our way now." Robert told her as he put both arms around her waist and flew through the air and landed on top of the Hokage Mansion. The two then jumped down outside the window in Tsunade's office. When Robert got a glimpse of who was in the office with her, he stopped himself from opening the window and listened in to their conversation.

"You are going to be known as Yamamoto for now. Do you understand?"

Robert was able to get a look into the room as an ANBU member in the room was taking off his mask.

He must be taking someone's place as sensei. I wonder who it is.

"Robert, what's wrong?"

"One of the senseis must have gotten themselves hurt really bad. My guess it's Kakashi."

"Who's that?"

"I'll take you to his training ground later. He's leaving, let's get in now." "Tsunade, what team is he going to be a sub for? I'm thinking that it's Kakashi."

"Your thinking is right. He's temporarily replacing Kakashi."

"What happened to him?"

"He used that." Tsunade said in a serious tone.

"Who was he fighting with that?"

"He was fighting an Akatsuki member known as Deidara."

"I heard that someone captured Gaara. I take it that he was the member who took him down?"

"Yes"

Poor Yuuki was lost this whole conversation.

"So they're getting bolder and going out in the open to get the Jinchuriki? That will make things more interesting."

"Do you know what their uniform is?"

"Remember? I was part of the run-in with Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigake Kisame three years ago. I know who and what Akatsuki is."

"Wait a minute," Yuuki interjected. "Who is Akatsuki and what exactly is a Jinchuriki? I have absolutely no idea what any of that is."

Tsunade's expression didn't change as she looked over at Yuuki. "You aren't a ninja so this doesn't concern you."

"Actually, Tsunade, that's one of the reasons we're here today. I'm recommending her to be a shinobi. She has plenty of potential and I highly recommend her to be at least a chuunin level." Robert said crossing his arms as he sank down into one of the deep chairs in the office and motioned for Yuuki to sit on his lap.

"Robert, you know we can't just accept ninja on recommendation alone. There are steps that must be taken..." Robert raised his hand to cut her off.

"Not just recommendation, but with the up-coming chuunin exams.. I'll form a team with Yuuki and Naome for this. This will test her more then any jounin could."

Tsunade's face was one of pure shock. Robert! I'm not sure of her abilities. I can't just let..."

Robert's pure amber eyes gazed at Tsunade with an undying will. "She will take it, and she will be counted as a Leaf shinobi. That's it. End of topic."

"You're really adamant on this topic. Fine. If something happens to her, it's on your head. Not mine. You do understand that, don't you?"

"Perfectly." Robert and Yuuki got up and started for the door. "Oh. Thanks for sending those ninja to my house. I'm sure they will enjoy their stay." The couple then made their way out of the door.

"That boy is so spoiled. I guess that's my fault." Tsunade then let out a weary sigh and pulled out a jug of sake from one of the drawers in her desk. "I really need a drink."

"Thank you, Robert." Yuuki said as she grabbed his arm and looked up at his face.

"I really didn't do anything. I just wanted you to get what you wanted. You wanted a shinobi life, that's what you now have."

"But. Still. Thanks."

"You still want to get something to eat?" Robert asked looking down into her blue eyes.

"Ha. That's my Robert. Thinking of me first, then his stomach." Yuuki sighed to herself.

"Hey. I can't help who I am. Before I met you, It was stomach fist, everything else last." Robert laughed to himself, causing Yuuki to grin.

"Well, at least I'm first."
