Steve: And here we go! the first chapter of the new update!

Yui: And we're going to see a shift from canon here, aren't we?

Steve: Yup! And a relevation about Naruto's abilities.

Hinata: Really? What is ability is the relevation for?

Steve: Sorry Hinata, can't tell you. I will give you a hint: it has to do with what Naruto refers to you as.

Hinata: ... Um... Okay...

Yui: (Sigh) just ignore him Hinata.

Steve: Hey! I gave her a hint you know! I didn't have to!

Pen-pen: War a wark waar waarrk. (Not a very good one though.)

Steve: Whatever. Hinata, please thank the reviewiers.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Slowly waking up, Naruto opens his eyes and is treated to the sight of Kyubi softly snoring as she drools slightly while her tails are wrapped around them both. Chuckling, he moves up and gives her a soft kiss, awakening her. "Good Morning Kyubi-chan. Have a good sleep?" Her reply is to tighten the hold she has on him and nuzzle his neck while giving it a small lick.

"Of course. Any sleep I get beside you is a good sleep" She's about to kiss him again when her ears twitch as does his. "Did you just hear that Naruto-kun?" He nods as he looks around.

"Yeah… Sounded like some girl screaming… There it is again!" Looking in the direction it came from, he looks at Kyubi. "Let's go!" She nods and together the two take off in the direction it came from. A few hundred feet away from where the two are Kin is rushing through the woods trying to get away from the man who killed her team mates. Sobbing in fear, she remembers what happened…

000000000000000 An hour earlier 00000000000000000

The team had gotten orders to head to a small ruined building outside Konoha. Being a bit late, Kin sneaks to a window and sees Kabuto with a Oto Hitai-ate in front of a confused Dosu and Zaku. Looking at him, Dosu narrows his eyes. "So you are the spy in Konoha, hmm?" Kabuto just nods while pushing up his glasses.

"Indeed. I have been ordered to tell you that Orochimaru-sama is most displeased with you three… Most displeased indeed, correct Kimimaro?" The two back away as Kimimaro appears looking like death warmed over.

"Yes… However, Orochimaru-sama is still interested in your report… And he'll grant you three the chance to serve him in a fitting manner…" Gulping, the two tell them what happened in the Forest of Death with Team Seven and one part in particular causes both Kimimaro's and Kabuto's eyes to widen.

"You are sure of this? The Uzumaki-Potter Harry somehow not only controlled the Curse Seal, but also destroyed it using a strange golden energy?" The two quickly nod. "Interesting… Very interesting indeed." He looks at Kimimaro who gives a slight nod. Dosu just bows to the two.

"I am facing him in the finals Kimimaro-sama, Kabuto-sama. I swear that I shall defeat him so that he's no longer a threat to Orochimaru-sama's plans…" He trails off as Kabuto chuckles and shakes his head.

"Oh, at the moment he's interesting and Orochimaru-sama is looking at him as a possible body… with his power Orochimaru-sama might well become a god if the rumours are correct. You and Zaku however are going to help Orochimaru-sama bring Konoha to it's knees…" Dosu's about to say something when a bone spike pierces through his eye and skull, silencing him forever. Seeing this, Zaku starts backing up in fear.

"Wha… What are you doing! You said that we were going to serve Orochimaru-sama! How can we do that if-Urk!" Kabuto appears in front of him before swiping a glowing hand across his throat. As a gurgling sound makes it's way out of Zaku's mouth, Kabuto just smirks as he once again pushes up his glasses with a chuckle.

"Ah! But we never said that you had to be alive for you to have a use, now did we?" His only answer is Zaku's death rattle as he falls to the floor and stills, the life fading from his eyes. Shaking his head from side to side, he looks to where Kin is. "Now for you…" With a scream, she takes off making Kabuto smirk as Kimimaro looks at him.

"Do you wish for me to chase her down and kill her Kabuto-sama?" Kabuto just shakes his head before grinning.

"That won't be needed Kimimaro, I'll do it. It has been a while since I've had any real fun. Just seal the bodies we have so that Orochimaru-sama can use them when their needed." Kimimaro bows before pulling two of the three scrolls that Orochimaru had given him for just this purpose as Kabuto vanishes in a swirl of leaves...

000000000000000000 End Flashback 00000000000000

Plucking a Shuriken from her shoulder, she blinks away the tears in her eyes from the betrayal she just suffered as well as from terror. 'Why… Why did you order this Orochimaru-sama… We were loyal and faithful to you and you alone…' Another shuriken flies from somewhere off to the side and strikes her in the calf making her scream again as she starts to limp. Up ahead, she notices a canyon… Gulping, she's about to turn when she sees Kabuto charging at her with his hands aglow.

"It's a shame… But now our fun is done Kin…" His smirk vanishes as he trips over a root that to him had appeared from nowhere. 'Huh? Where'd that root come from?' The moment respite is all that Kin needed as she limps to the edge of the chasm and looks down it as Kabuto starts walking towards her with a smirk. "Now, now Kin… Don't jump. At least with me you'll have some use…" She looks at him with tears in her eyes.

"Why… Why are you doing this?! We're loyal soldiers of Orochimaru-sama! He would never order this! And Tayuya-" She gets cut off as a chuckle sounds from the woods as Orochimaru appears.

"And Tayuya will never know what happened to you. I'll just tell her that you were killed by Leaf-nin, thus making her hate this village even more." He smirks as she whispers his name with a note of betrayal. "Don't be that way Kin… You've now outlived your usefulness… just like your Kaa-san." She starts at that making him laugh. "Kukukuku! Did you think it was merely coincidence that I was in the area of your and Tayuya's village when it was attacked? Hardly! The fact that orphans will naturally gravitate to those that show even a hint of kindness is so useful… don't you agree?" She starts, but not for the reason he thinks as she can feel someone's breath on her ear moments before a voice starts whispering.

"If you want to live, jump. I promise to catch you." Not knowing who the voice belongs to, or even if she's still sane and not imagining it, she finds herself not caring.

'Even if I'm imagining it… Orochimaru-sa… No, Orochimaru-teme needs my body for whatever it is he's going to do… And if I do jump, at least it will be quick and as a bonus it'll screw him over since he won't have my body…' Her face hardens as Orochimaru and Kabuto walk towards her with Orochimaru shaking his head.

"That's good Kin… Don't worry, it'll be over soon and I promise that your death won't be in vain…" He raises an eyebrow as Kin starts to laugh.

"Your right… It won't be in vain as I'll be screwing you over! I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL OROCHIMARU-TEME!" And with those words, she leaps backwards into the chasm. The two rush over and Orochimaru growls as she rapidly vanishes into the consuming darkness. Kabuto backs away from the KI directed at him as Orochimaru turns and snarls at him.

"You should have finished it when you had a chance Kabuto instead of playing around… I am most displeased." Looking back into the chasm, both the anger and the KI vanish as he shrugs. "Oh well. Guess I'll have to use another pawn for what's needed…" Meanwhile in the chasm, Kin looks upwards at the rapidly vanishing sky as the wind whips around her body. Feeling at peace, she looks at the jagged sides before looking back up with a soft smile.

'At least I can still see the sky before I die…' At first she doesn't notice anything and then she hears it, the sound of another falling body to her left. Turning her head, she frowns as there's nothing there. 'Heh, must be going crazy… hearing things now… WHAT THE HELL!' Her eyes widen as a blond boy slowly materializes beside her. Still in shock, she notes that it's one of the Uchiha's team mates. With a grin, he gives her a small wave.

"Hey. This is kind of peaceful, isn't it?" She just looks at him in shock before exploding.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE FUCKING DOING! YOU WANT TO DIE AS WELL!" Hearing him chuckle, she starts as she recognizes that the voice she heard telling her to jump was his own. "You… That was your voice… wasn't it?" He nods. "But why…?" Naruto looks at her before giving her a sad smile.

"You may have made a mistake of following him… But you shouldn't have to die for it." He then gives her a smirk. "Besides, I'm not going to die and neither are you. After all it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end." She blinks and opens her mouth several times before she can get anything out.

"And that's supposed to comfort me how! IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, WE'RE FALLING DOWN A FUCKING CHASM AND UNLESS YOU CAN FLY WE'RE DEAD! D.E.A.D. DEAD!" Naruto just chuckles. "STOP LAUGHING ASSHOLE!" Naruto just chuckles again before closing his eyes.

'Okay, let's do this!' He starts by casting a lightening charm on both him and Kin before concentrating on something. 'Now for a partial transformation…' Kin just continues screaming at him as he can feel various muscles shifting and changing making him smirk. Kin just glares at him upon seeing his smirk.

'I can't believe this shit! Here we are falling and he closes his eyes and smirks! Of all the… bone headed… what…' Before her widened eyes, Naruto's back bulges before two golden wings burst from it. He then opens his eyes and she finds her breath taken away by the raptorian look to them before she whispers a single word: "Tenshi…" Hearing it, Naruto chuckles before speaking in a rougher voice.

"Sorry Kin-chan… But I'm about the farthest thing you'll find from an Tenshi." And with a powerful flap of his wings, he closes the distance between them and grabs her bridal style. Unnoticed by him, she heavily blushes before she looks down and gasps at how close they are to the bottom of the canyon. Naruto just flaps his new wings and they skim the surface of the rushing river before powering upwards. Kin just snuggles deeper into his arms feeling safe, not knowing that he's releasing CI. A few moments later finds her sleeping as he looks down at her with a smile. A few minutes later he arrives at the clearing he's been using for training and finds a worried Kyubi and Jeraiya waiting for him. Jeraiya jerks at the sight of the winged Naruto before giving him a perverted leer at the sight of the girl in his arms.

"Well, well. What do we have here? Decided to have a little-Itai!" He starts rubbing his head where Kyubi hit him using one of her tails before gulping at the KI coming from both Naruto and Kyubi. He raises an eyebrow at Naruto's serious look however and adopts one of his own as the wings retract. "Ok gaki, What's with the girl?" Naruto sighs and begins his story and eventually ends it. After a few moments, Jeraiya sighs before looking at Kin. "So Orochimaru tried to kill one of his own Genin? That's not to surprising, he was always a sick teme." Naruto's about to say something when Kin starts to stir. Once she fully wakes, she starts struggling due to panic until Naruto calms her with a burst of CI making Jeraiya raise another eyebrow before he shrugs it off as Naruto comforts her.

"Shhh. Shhh. It's okay Kin-chan… it's okay. Everything's fine now everything's just fine…" She just buries her face in his chest while crying. Eventually, she stops.

"Thank you… Um, what's your name?" Naruto tells her and raises an eyebrow as she repeats it over and over with concentration on her face. Nodding, she looks up at him. "Thank you Naruto-sama." Hearing a throat clearing, she turns to see Jeraiya there making her pale.

"As much as I would like for this little… moment to continue, we should get to the Hokage… Can you get us there Naruto?" He nods and a notice-me-not charm later on Kin, they vanish with a pop (Well Naruto, Jeraiya, and Kin did. Kyubi just returned to the seal). A few hours later the Hokage and Jeraiya are rubbing their temples while Kin stares down at the floor as she awaits her fate. She looks up as Naruto lays his hand on her shoulder and smiles at her, bringing one to her face. She hears a cough and turns as the Hokage leans back and considers her for a moment before he nods.

"I'll ask you once more: Is everything you told us the truth as you know it?" She slowly nods with a gulp. "Very well. I thank you full heartedly for your cooperation Kin-san. However, I think that it's prudent that you go into hiding for now since the fact that my wayward student no doubt thinks you're dead is an edge right now. Otherwise, he'd change his plans." He looks at Naruto who nods after a moment. "Naruto here will take you in and care for you for right now. Please do not betray the trust we're showing you." She shakes her head as she's still shocked that they haven't killed her yet. Understanding the look on her face, Naruto chuckles.

"We're not going to kill you Kin-chan. We here in Konoha prefer peace to war." Jeraiya shrugs and turns to Naruto before telling him that he has the next few days off. Nodding, Naruto places a hand on Kin's shoulder before the two vanish with a pop. Looking at the place where Naruto was for a moment, Jeraiya turns and looks at his sensei.

"Was that wise to place her into Naruto's care Sensei? She could be faking it and it's all a set up. Or if something happens because of her, Naruto would get the blame." Sarutobi puffs a little before answering.

"Maybe, or maybe not. I do trust in Naruto and his ability to change people though…" Jeraiya just chuckles in reply…

00000000000000000 The Uzumaki-Potter apartment 000000000000

Appearing in front of the door, Naruto hurriedly opens it and let's Kin in before walking in himself and closing it. Biting her lip, Kin looks around nervously when a sound causes her to turn to see Naruto hanging his coat on the rack and open his vest. Gulping, Kin blushes as she sees the view. 'Oh my Kami… He's hot!' Sighing, Naruto turns and sees her staring at her. Narrowing his eyes, he walks over and examines her before frowning at her wounds. Seeing the nervous look in her eyes, he jerks his thumb in the direction of the bathroom.

"Bathroom's over there. Wash up so that I can treat your wounds properly, ok?" She nods before looking at him.

"What do you wish for me to do with my clothes Naruto-sama?" Blinking at the term, Naruto shakes his head and tells her to leave them outside the door so that he can wash them. "As you wish Naruto-sama." And with that, she walks away with a slight swaying of the hips making Naruto frown.

'I hope that she isn't doing that for the reason I think she is…' A few moments later Kin's in the bathroom taking off her shirt and bra when she notices the bandage on her shoulder. Grabbing it, she winces as she pulls it off revealing the shuriken wound. She then looks into the mirror for a few moments before she starts to hyperventilate as the events of the day catch up with her. Up until that moment, she had something to distract her whether it was falling down a chasm or talking to the Hokage, it was something. Now, alone in the bathroom with no distractions, the full import of what occurred hits her as she barely makes it to the toilet and she lifts the lid before puking. Once her stomach has been emptied she curls up into a ball and starts to sob uncontrollably.

'Oh Kami… Oh Kami… Oh Kami…' Having heard the sounds of her throwing up, Naruto knocks on the door and asks what's wrong only to not receive an answer as Kin's still slipping more and more into shock. Frowning at the sounds, he points his finger at the door and whispers a single word.

"Alohomora." Now with it unlocked, Naruto opens the door and it takes him a moment to understand what he's seeing before he rushes in and holds her. Still sobbing, Kin just grips him with all she's got. Naruto just lets her get it all out knowing that it's better for her to do so now rather then later. Eventually, her sobs subside and she looks down with an ashamed look on her face.

"I am sorry Naruto-sama for showing weakness. Please forgive me." She looks up for a moment only to hang her head as Naruto's not looking anywhere but her face and head. "I am also sorry if my body isn't desirable enough for you Naruto-sama." Naruto jerks before he forces her to look at him in the eyes by grabbing her chin. Kin flinches at the anger there only for his eyes to soften.

"Kin-chan… I don't want you to think that you need to do what you think you do. You don't. I'm not looking to rule over you or to use you as a toy. You are a human being. So please don't think that you need to do what your thinking of. Please." She looks at him as he lets go of her chin before she looks down with a few tears falling from her eyes.

'He's… different…' Without looking up, she explains how back in Oto, the strong rule over the weak and the strongest rule over all. How when a person is saved by someone they then "belong" to the saver and how the saver can do whatever they want to them as they see fit. She finishes as she tells him of her friend Tayuya and how she saved her years ago. As she falls silent, Naruto nods and strokes her long hair thoughtfully before speaking.

"You don't have to worry about that with me Kin-chan. I won't do anything to you so relax. All I ask is that you don't betray me and maybe become a new friend." Hearing that, she looks up in shock.

"Fri… friend? You want me as a friend?" Naruto nods making her tear up again. "Why?" He looks down at her and tells her that he wants her as a friend since he doesn't have that many. "Is it… because you're the Kyubi Jinchuuriki?" Now it's Naruto's turn to look at her in shock. Before he can ask, she answers his unasked question. "Orochimaru-teme told me and our team before we came here…" She looks saddened at this and Naruto tightens the hug as she leans her head on his chest. A few moments later, Naruto makes a move to get up and Kin follows. Still looking at her eyes, Naruto nods before turning towards the door.

"I need to get going so that you can wash up… Just let me know when your done, ok?" She nods and he walks out the door and waits until she passes him her clothes and closes the door. A few minutes later the shower turns on and Naruto heads to the washer to clean the clothes he's got. Inside the shower, Kin closes her eyes as she feels the warm water washing away the dirt and grime. A few minutes later she starts to scrub furiously, trying to get the feeling of being dirty from serving Orochimaru off of her. Finally, with her skin scrubbed raw and her hair washed, she turns off the shower and sticks her head out.

"I'm done Naruto-sama." A few moments later, Naruto's hand sticks in holding a towel which she takes before wrapping it around her and stepping out of the shower. "Are my clothes done Naruto-sama?" Sighing at how she's still referring to him, he shakes his head on the other side of the door.

"Sorry Kin, it'll be another thirty minutes and then I'll have to repair the tears in them." He blinks as she asks if she could borrow some of his clothes until her's are done and is about to offer some of the other girl's clothes when he realizes that none are in her size. Sighing, he shakes his head. "Yeah… Just give me a minute." A few moments later finds Kin walking out of the Bathroom in a over large blue shirt and a black pair of Naruto's boxers. Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Naruto looks at her (and tries to ignore how cute she looks in his clothes). "Why did you leave the pants in there?" She looks at him before shrugging.

"Walking around in these is more comfortable Naruto-sama." She internally smirks as she notices how Naruto keeps blushing every time he looks at her, especially when part of the shirt "Slips" and reveals her shoulder. 'Heh! Soon Naruto-sama… soon you'll be mine…' An hour later finds Kin watching in fascination as Naruto takes a needle to her old clothes as he repairs them. Finally he's done as he holds them up for her inspection.

"There! Done! Well? What do you think?" She looks them over as she inspects them before nodding.

"It's great work Naruto-sama. Thanks!" Naruto just smiles at her before she frowns as her eyes alight on her Oto Hitai-ate. "There's just one thing remaining…" Taking it, she starts bending it back and forth until it finally snaps in half. Looking at the two pieces, she nods in satisfaction. "There! It's now perfect." Noticing her cuts still haven't been treated, Naruto looks at her.

"Kin-chan, I'm going to heal your cuts and other wounds now, ok?" She nods as Naruto moves and kneels in front of her as he runs a finger up her leg with a single whispered word making her shiver. Though soon this is replaced by amazement as Kin watches as the cuts and scratches close as if they never existed. Done with that leg, he turns to her other leg as he starts to talk to her. "So, what's with how you're acting? I'm just asking because according to Sakura-chan you were confident and self-assured when she met you in the forest and I got the same impression from your battle with Shikamaru." Kin watches him before slowly nodding.

"I am acting a little different I guess… But if you were in my situation, wouldn't you act different? I just saw my team killed on the orders of someone I trusted for no reason then we were more… useful dead then alive." She looks down as a single tear falls. "I… Guess that I'm just not feeling very confidant right now…" Naruto nods as he can see how she wouldn't be. Getting up, he gives her a hug. Pulling away after a few minutes, he moves to get at her shoulder cut when Kin just grabs the bottom of her shirt and lifts it off her head. Seeing Naruto turn away, she shakes her head. "Your healing me Naruto-sama, it's okay to look. Besides, I'm used to being around guys naked… Wait, that didn't come out right." Naruto snorts before chuckling making her smile.

"No it didn't Kin-chan, no it didn't." She chuckles herself as Naruto shakes his head. "But, why aren't you embarrassed? I would have thought that you would be?" Kin just shakes her head.

"I don't know how you train Kunoichi here, but back in Oto for the last four weeks of training, you're forced to walk around naked." She shrugs at Naruto's combination Pissed/horrified look. "In that situation, either you get used to it… or you don't and something will likely happen. Personally, I think that several of the head instructors are perverts and that's why us Kunoichi are forced to do that…" She shakes her head. "One good thing from that is that showing this," she gestures at her bare chest. "Doesn't bother me much at all. Now, I believe that you were going to finish healing me Naruto-sama?" Shaking his head, Naruto looks at her before reaching up with a finger and running it along various wounds, healing them. Finally done healing her, Naruto watches as she puts HIS shirt back on.

"Is there a reason that you're not wearing you clothes now that they're done being cleaned and repaired?" She taps her chin for several seconds before giving him a smirk.

"Because I like the way that they feel? And besides, I only got one set of clothes after all, or have you forgotten?" Naruto shakes his head in the negative while smiling.

'Good, it seems she's recovering nicely.' His smile widens as her eyes gain a little bit of the sparkle they had. 'Very good.' Chuckling, he shrugs his shoulders. "I didn't forget Kin-chan. We are however, going shopping tomorrow." Kin blinks at this before giving him an odd look.

"Aren't I in hiding? Kind of hard to hide if I'm out and about doing shopping don't you think?" Naruto just shakes his head.

"Actually, it's not all that hard Kin-chan. Besides, we're going to nii-san's homeland to get you some clothes. Granted their civilian, but they're better then nothing, right?" She nods with a thoughtful expression. "Also, all we got to do is make some minor changes to your appearance and no one will recongnize you since they believe that your dead, right?" She blinks before nodding and giving him a hug.

"Thank you Naruto-sama… I can never repay you for what all that you've done for me." As soon as she says that, the door opens and an exhausted Harry walks in before blinking in shock at Kin and shrugging.

"Eh. Guess the Kage Bushin you sent wasn't lying after all. You heading out tomorrow?" Naruto nods with a small smile.

"Yup! Got to get Kin-chan some clothes since all she got was what she was wearing after all." Harry just nods before asking if him and Haku can join them. "Sure. Sakura-chan's coming as well so we'll all head out… about eight? That sound good?" Harry nods before pointing at the kitchen.

"Sounds good. Now, it's your turn to make dinner nii-san, or have you forgotten?" Sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck, Naruto walks off as Kin watches him. Hearing feeling someone staring at her, she turns and sees Harry looking at her with a stern expression. "I know that nii-san rescued you and I won't make any comment about that. However, know this Tsuchi Kin…" He leans right close to her as his eyes shift into what they've come to refer to as the "Jigoku Mahogan (Hell magical eye)" making her gulp as he focuses a little KI on her. "If you hurt Naruto-nii-san, I WILL hunt you to the ends of the earth. Understood?" She hurriedly nods and Harry leans back with a smile as well as with his normal eyes. "Good. I believe that we understand each other." And with that he walks off leaving a slightly pale Kin.

"Scary…" A few hours later finds Kin laying in a guest bed and staring at the ceiling, still in Naruto's clothes (and what a conversation that was) thinking. 'Why? Why am I acting this way? I've never acted like I have been before…Is it because he saved me? Or is it something else?' Turning over the day's events, she can't help but sigh at all the events. 'Who would have believed that what happened? This morning when I woke up I was a loyal Kunoichi for Oto and in a space of a few short hours I saw my team killed and was almost myself killed, was rescued by a Konoha genin, betrayed that teme's plans to the Hokage, and I'm now in bed wearing my rescuers clothing…Un-fucking-believable as Tayuya would say… Tayuya…' Sighing at the thought of her only friend back in Oto, she sincerely hopes that Tayuya would be ok. Her thoughts then turn back to the person who saved her. 'Man… why couldn't I have met Naruto-sama earlier… He's hot, kind, non-perverted, great at sewing, and an awesome cook as well…' She trails off as she rubs her stomach with a smile from the memory of the dinner she had earlier. "I think that I might enjoy it here…"

000000000000000000 Next day 0000000000000000

Having eaten a delicious breakfast, Kin leans back on her chair as Naruto goes and answers the door. A few minutes later she hears an aguement and could swear that her name was mentioned. Eventually, Naruto walks back in followed by Sakura, who narrows her eyes at Kin making her gulp. Finally nodding, she smiles as she sits down and grabs some breakfast herself. After a moments Kin clears her throat and tries to make small talk. "Um… Hi? Like what you did with your hair…" Kin winces as she brings that up making Sakura chuckle

"Don't worry about it. Naruto told me what happened by the way… I'm sorry for your loss." Looking at her, Kin nods.

"Thank you…" Sakura just gives her a smile. "So do you have any idea where we're going?" Sakura just shakes her head. "Me neither. All I know is that we're going shopping for clothes for me." Sakura just shrugs as she watches Naruto and Harry head into the kitchen as the three familiars also walk off.

"Yeah, well… This is the first time that I've seen my boyfriend since the end of the exam." Seeing Kin's inquiring look she grins. "Naruto's my boyfriend." She looks back at the kitchen and thus misses Kin's heartbroken look.

'Kuso… Naruto-sama's already taken…' Sakura's next words make her perk up however.

"Of course I still have to share because of the stupid CRA law… then again why am I complaining? It's because of it that I can be with him since Hinata got her claws into him first." When Kin asks what that is, Sakura explains and a few mintues later Kin is smiling again.

'Oh thank the Kami… I still have a chance… Still, I could do without the whole sharing bit…' A few hours later they arrive back in the apartment with Harry and Naruto carrying several bags each. Setting most of them down, Naruto and Harry walk into the kitchen to start supper as Sakura, Haku and Kin sit on the couch. Breathing heavily, Kin turns to her two new friends. "That was a hell of a shoping trip girls. I can't believe how many stores and deals there were in that 'Shopping mall'… Why don't we have anything like that in the Elemental countries?" Sakura shakes her head.

"I don't know… I really don't Kin… By the way, Naruto mentioned that you were wearing some of his clothes to bed last night. How was it?" Kin blushes as she looks at the other two.

"They were really comfy…" She gives then gains a mischievous smile. "I think I'll have to keep 'borrowing' them for sleep wear… I can get you some as well Sakura." Sakura looks around as she blushes before leaning in.

"Really?" Kin nods making her squeal. "Do it!" And so they go, and before you know it, they all have to get ready for the next day…

00000000000000000000000 The End 0000000000000000000

Steve: (Sweats as Hinata glares at him) What?!

Hinata: (Hissing) You had Kin... wearing... Naruto-kun's... CLOTHES!?

Steve: Um... It was a, um... Plot device... (Notices Hinata twitch) Ah... BYE! (Runs off)

Hinata: GET BACK HERE NOW! (Chases Steve off screen)

Yui: (Watching before blinking) Um... Yeah...

Pen-pen: Wark warr wa rk war wark waarrkk. (Let's just go to the next chapter.)

Yui: Right! (Looks towards where screaming is coming from) I hope she does hurt him TOO badly... Oh! and the polls closed! So be expecting scenes with the various girls getting it on since that option won!

Omake: Alternate ending to the Sakura/Ino match.

'Kuso... Ino-pig is tougher then I thought... Seems I'll have to resort to that jutsu...' Looking at the heavily breathing Ino, Sakura smirks before calling out to her. "Hey! Ino-pig, you should be happy that I'll test this jutsu on you. I was taught it by Naruto." Ino blinks at that and is about to say something when Sakura places her hands in a familiar handsign. "Transform!" Ino just stares at this as she thinks she knows what Sakura's doing.

'Oh come on! I'm a girl, I'm not... into...' Her thoughts trail off as the smoke clears revealing a spiky,pink haired eighteen year old athletically built male with green eyes and a smoke cloud hanging around his privates. "WHOA!" Ino gulps as the 'Guy' looks at her with a hungry look as he licks his lips before he bends forwards and speaks to her in a husky voice.

"Hey babe... what's say that you and me... hang out for a little while?" The man then winks at her causing her to go flying backwards with a nosebleed (and she's not the only one among the Kunoichi). Looking at the downed Ino, the guy transforms back into Sakura wearing a smirk as she puts her hand into the victory sign. "Oroike no jutsu: Sakura style is a resounding success! Well Naruto? What'd ya think of that?" Naruto just stares at her before he slaps his forehead.

"I knew that I should have never taught her that jutsu..."
