The Kunoichis That Didn't Belong Ch. 18
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN NARUTO!
Recap: She gave a small and happy smile as she recounted the fact that she would be one team with her old friends.
That alone was enough to bring about a smile as she fell asleep, blissfully unaware of the strange black creature in the corner of the dark room.

Sai motions to them and they follow as he leads them to the safe house, quickly settling in after arriving.
Eight days passed with the Konoha and Suna shinobi finding relatively little about the organization and why, all of a sudden, the MIA kunoichi were there and part of if. They were getting bored.
And then one day, Shino overhears them get assigned a new mission, and suddenly they are on alert. Because the name that is mention gives them every right to be cautious. Orochimaru.
Time: Night—8:00 pm
Place: Unknown
Shino looked at Shikamaru, waiting for the Nara to make his decision.
"You are certain then." Shikamaru looks up at Shino and the bug user nods, completely sure.
Shikamaru sighs, it seems like they may be involved in more than he had thought. "Alright. I will inform Hokage-sama at once."
"Orochimaru?" Sakura and Ino leaned forward in disbelief. Hinata, TenTen, and Temari stared at Rayku and Raika in astonishment.
"Yes." Rayku stared at the five, leaning back on her chair. "Orochimaru is one of our contacts. But," she held a hand up before they could speak. "He has a certain object that we need, and we have certain information he needs."
Raika crossed her arms. "It has taken us five years to get this far into his trust and for him to get to us. But remember this: we are there only for our certain item, and he only for his information. The moment the two are exchanged, you may be attacked by him, do you understand? You must be on your guard."
They nodded, and Raika continued. "Orochimaru has stolen our Ninkaidan Scroll. It is a scroll that holds the techniques of a much greater jutsu. Fortunately, he does not know this. Unfortunately, he will find out, for that is the information he seeks."
"What does this mean then?" Sakura asked suspiciously. "If that is what he needs . . . What if he has already suspected that you hold it? Then wouldn't he have prepared a fake scroll for us and keep the real one?"
Raika nodded. "Yes. Rayku and I have covered almost every possible situation that might occur under different circumstances. We prepared for as much as we can, but nothing ever goes as planned when dealing with a person like Orochimaru."
"So this is your task." Rayku was speaking now. "You will go the Pelilent Village and meet Orochimaru by the on the bridge by the waterfall that is north of the village. That is the agreed meeting spot, and you must be there exactly at twelve or a couple minutes earlier. You will meet in the middle of the bridge – not all of you, mind, only three – and the exchange will happen. As soon as you have it, quickly get off the bridge. Or attack him, if you feel you must, but escape with the scroll is more important and vitally so, once he has the information he wants. Do I make myself clear?"
The girls nodded with a serious look on their faces.
"When is this meeting?" Ino asked.
"In three days, but to reach the village it will take two from here. Tonight, you will be discussing plans and the like with Ikiara. Tomorrow you must prepare as much as possible, leaving exactly as the sun sets. You then must reach the village at two days, but with your speeds we shall not worry. Any questions?" Raika asked.
They shook their heads, and the elder kunoichi nodded, satisfied.
"Very well then. Go, and meet Ikiara."
The five nodded, dismissed, and leave the room quietly. No one notices when a spider crawls out from it's shadowy hideout after them, quite unseen, and the door swings shut.
The shinobi are tense tonight. What happens next is unknown to them, for it is not up them, but to their group leader and ultimately, the woman holding the title of Hokage, their leader. They are anxiously awaiting the news, though some try not to show it.
"Well?" Naruto whispers, unable to keep silent any longer and all eyes are fixed upon Shikamaru.
HELP!!
Hey, there's this InuYasha fanfiction I read a while ago, but can't find it despite my efforts. If you know the title or the link, please let me know!
Sum: Basically, Kikyou, Sango, and Kagome are three sisters in a company (poss. Miko Tama?). Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Miroku are three brothers in a company (poss. Shikon Demon?) The two companies/family have been rivals since elementary/middle/high school/college, business etc. They absolutely detest each other. In the last chapter I read of it (I don't know if it updated or not since it's been a while) said the six of them were at a party of some sort (celebration?) and Sesshomaru and Kikyou were engaged in a staring contest (that ended with a tie?), and I think Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku were cheering them on or something… The pairings are SessKik, MirSan, and InuKag.
Anyways, if you could find out for me, it would be totally awesome. And a task deserves a reward, so if the story I'm looking was posted/sent from you, then I will give you a prize.
This prize is: a) A NEW CHAPTER OF THIS FANFICTION THE KUNOICHIS THAT DIDN'T BELONG, or b) A ONE-SHOT WITH YOUR CHOICE OF CHARACTERS FROM NARUTO OR INUYASHA WITH ANY PAIRINGS OR SCENARIO YOU WANT. (Other series are allowed also, but only if I know it, so run it by me if you win and don't want an Inuyasha or Naruto one-shot.)
You may send the story link or title to me via REVIEW or PRIVATE MESSAGE (PM). This is open for as long as until I find the story, so please don't hesitate! Thank you!

Ok, so I want to thank those of you who reviewed to the last chapter of this story. It means a lot to me and I'm glad that you enjoy my story so much. I apologize for this short chapter, but be reassured for another update in a week. Hopefully, that will not be as short, because with the 19th chapter, the plot will start to unravel/be revealed, and sadly for you readers, the story may come to an end. (Yes, as you may have guessed, Orochimaru is a key factor.) But please keep reading anyways, and support me and this fic until the very end.
Thank you to you all, and please don't forget to review. Thanks!
