BOO! Hehe, hey, how you all been? I'm sorry for not updating this sooner, but my one-shot 'Ketchup' (please read! It's lacking reviews) kinda took all the inspiration and dedication out of me, I wasn't motivated for this chapter at all! I know what I want in this chapter and what I want to do, I've just been really lazy about getting it done =)

Also, the day I decided I was going to start writing again my computer decided to mess up and have something wrong with the hard drive and I have to wait for my brother to come down so it can get sorted because it doesn't even work properly now, but it's letting me on it, so it's all cool =)

I'd like to dedicate this chapter to:

Recurring Soul (Took me a while to realise this is formerly Satsujin Akuma, Anyhoo a cookie for you)

Siah Yasuna

Luna Rei Harmony

Sakuraangel1327

Oh-So-Typical

WARNING: Major OOCness coming from Naruto and Sakura! Don't kill me for it please!

Disclaimer: See last chapter for details.

I hope you enjoy!!!

Previously on 'The Wrong One' …

"Yes. I'm going follow him and do everything I can to get him away from his teammates. Once he's alone, he's mine for the picking. It'll be no sweat; he isn't called the number 1 knucklehead ninja for nothing."

"Yes … you have done well … Konan …"

Chapter 7: Feuds Between Friends

"Where were you last night?"

It was evident I was seething, as my deathly calm voice being used with gritted teeth is never a good sign for the victim.

Naruto looked up from his breakfast (a breakfast he refused to touch, because it didn't contain ramen) and gulped as his eyes widened.

"Oh … uhh … I had ramen."

My right eye visibly twitched, as Kiba glanced from Naruto to me again and again, and Kakashi leaned back in his chair reading his orange book.

"Kiba and I went past the ramen stand and you weren't there. Don't lie to me, Uzumaki Naruto. Where. Were. You?"

I noticed Naruto shake slightly as my threatening voice pierced through him. The silly boy thought I was angry.

I wasn't angry.

I was livid.

Naruto gulped once again and pulled at the collar of his jacket. "I … went for a … uh … walk afterwards. To … you know … walk off the ramen … I … had …"

I rolled my eyes, knowing I wasn't going to get a realistic answer; and flopped back on my chair, waiting for the others to finish their breakfasts.

About half an hour later, when Naruto had at last taken one bite of his 'fake food' (as he so richly calls it), we headed back towards our rooms to grab all of our stuff, ready to be on the move. I walked into Kakashi's room once I was done (since he insisted we met up in there first) and noticed Naruto fidgeting on a chair and Kiba lying on the bed, probably attempting to sleep.

I was about to ruin that for him.

"Hey, Naruto … did you say you were walking off the ramen you ate?" I said in the sweetest, most innocent voice I could come up with, and Naruto, seemingly thinking I believed him (the dobe), nodded quickly, grinning all the while. My fake smile faltered and I marched up to the chair he was sitting on.

"Uzumaki Naruto you do not walk anything off, especially if it's ramen, and even if you expected me to believe you it still gives you no right or excuse to somehow open my door while I was asleep and collapse on my bed out of tiredness, sighing dreamily to yourself!"

At this, Kiba's head shot up as he glared at Naruto, making the already scared boy cower more. "He did what now?"

I turned to face him, slightly confused by his actions but shrugging them off, and placed my hands on my hips.

"Oh it gets better, Kiba-kun. Not only did he fall onto my bed, he fell directly on top of me!" I shouted even louder, and made a mental note to apologize to the people next door for waking them up at 5am.

If looks could kill, Naruto would be six feet under by now …

Kiba then stood up; looking from my glaring face (that could undoubtedly give any Uchiha a run for their money.) to Naruto's wide-eyed, pleading face. He stood by my side and placed his hands on his hips also, glaring down at Naruto with me.

… Make that 12 feet under …

Just as Kiba opened his mouth to say (shout) something, Kakashi looked up from his book (he hadn't put it down literally from breakfast to his room. We had to apologize to a lot of people in the hallways) and interrupted our glaring game.

"Alright, kids. Time to go."

I huffed and picked up the bag I so gracefully dropped as I walked in and continued out the room without another sound.

Normal POV

"You are really obvious, you know that?"

Kiba looked at Naruto innocently, before smiling and looking ahead. "I don't know what you're talking about, Naruto."

"Sure you do. You like Sakura-chan don't ya?"

Kiba halted and turned red, which was the only answer Naruto needed. "Don't worry; she's so dense that she can't even figure it out. You will have to spell it out for her if you want a chance with her. Gosh if I was as dense as her I don't know what I'd do."

"Hey, wait a minute; don't you only ever praise Sakura-chan? What's with the sudden negativity?"

Naruto blinked for a few moments, trying to get the large words to sink in before answering.

"I'm not being negative; sometimes density is a good thing. She sees me like a brother, so I must act like one at times. Don't mention this to her though … she's pissed off with me as it is."

Kiba pondered for a moment, before shaking his head and looking back in front, where Sakura just so happened to be walking.

"Naruto … did you say you weren't dense?"

Naruto smiled proudly as an indication that he wasn't oblivious at all.

"So you know about Hinata …"

"What? What about Hinata? I dunno where you're going with this, Kiba, but trust me. If Sakura doesn't realise you like her by now then maybe you should just blurt it out. Thank Kami I'm not in this situation!"

Kiba couldn't help but smirk.

Sakura's POV

I reached the edge of the forest to continue our journey as Naruto and Kiba followed closely with Kakashi walking like a snail with a Zimmer frame due to reading his book. Thankfully (though I'm still annoyed at him) Naruto came to the rescue and stood behind our teacher and pushed him with all his might. Within the next five minutes, they had reached Kiba and me, so I wasn't complaining.

Too much.

I was surprised at how busy Amegakure could be at just 5.30am on a Monday morning. The sun was barely above the horizon and already people were bustling about, getting ready to open their businesses or just generally wandering about their village.

I was violently pulled out of my thoughts when Kakashi gave the oh-so-subtle signal to move out (a yell across the town … he's been around Gai-sensei too much now…)

Despite the fact that I hadn't been getting the stomach pains for that long and I hadn't had one since my huge one last night, I had already stopped being surprised when one appeared, searing though my abdomen painfully. I flinched a little, but otherwise remained cool and collected.

As we were about to start running, a young, female voice stopped us from behind.

"Akio?"

I turned around to see a girl about our age with long, teal hair and a lip pierce. I was sure she slightly reminded me of someone, but decided to let it go. I know for a fact Kiba and I have never seen this girl before, and Kakashi really isn't that perverted … which only left one person.

Naruto you baka.

I glanced towards Naruto, my annoyance with him suddenly overpowering every other feeling in my body, including my throbbing stomach. I saw his eyes widen and blink a few times before smiling.

"Oh … uh … hey, Takara! Uh … what are you doing here?"

'So her name is Takara …' I mused as I continued to glance from one to the other. She smiled sheepishly and took a step towards us, and even though she was over two metres away, I still felt like she was invading my personal bubble.

"Well, I was walking around hoping I could see you before you left. A final goodbye, right, Akio?" She tilted her head to the side innocently, and I could tell straight away that she wasn't who she supposedly was. I just didn't know who she really was.

Kakashi decided to step in at that point, finally having put his book down.

"I'm sorry Miss … Takara? We really have to get going so if you excuse us …"

Takara nodded in understanding before running up to Naruto, my personal bubble threatening to pop anytime soon. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and smiled before walking backwards waving to us all.

"I understand. Bye, Akio! I hope to see you soon! And it was nice meeting the rest of you!"

And with that, she turned and bounded off behind many villagers that had now come out of nowhere.

We turned and started running, and I slowly started running towards Naruto, because he needs to give us some answers.

I bonked him on the head hard enough to almost make him fall from the tree he was currently leaping from. He yelled in pain, causing Kiba, Akamaru (who had somehow lost his fat overnight) and Kakashi to stop and turn.

"Sakura-chan, what was that –"

"Naruto don't even think about giving me that shit! How could you possibly be this stupid!? We were all given direct rules and you decided to disobey them! And trying to fool her by giving the name 'Akio'!? What is that about? And most importantly why did you lie to me about it and refuse to tell me anything!?"

Naruto flinched and looked generally hurt, and I almost felt sorry for him, but I was so angry to the point I couldn't even think straight anymore, and I was pretty sure that if I was a jinchuuriki it would've been unleashed by now.

"Sakura, calm down. What Naruto did was very idiotic and he clearly didn't think it through. But you should cut him a bit of slack. It is Naruto, after all."

"Kakashi-sensei, I would if this wasn't an A-rank mission, but to be perfectly honest I feel like I could scream at Naruto for days. What if she was undercover? What if she was working for the Akatsuki, or Orochimaru? He put all our lives at stake by talking and befriending that Katara girl and I can't just forgive and forget that very easily."

There was silence for a while as the hurt in Naruto's eyes was replaced by anger. An anger that I have never seen directed at me before.

"First of all, it's Takara. If you're gonna hate at first sight at least remember the name. And secondly, I know she isn't working for either of those. She is a normal civilian and she just wanted to make a new friend, it wasn't my fault I was the only person in the ramen bar at the time! She understood me and she knew how I felt, and that was all that mattered. She wouldn't shout at me or scold me for accidently falling on her bed, she'd laugh at my stupidity and that's that. And it's not exactly like you don't have any flaws either! After years of knowing the guy and you don't even realise that Kiba is in love with you! You've been torturing him all these years by being his 'best and closest' friend, and you had no clue at all! Maybe I should just go back to Ame and tell Takara that I'll be staying there with her, at least she'll treat me like a true friend."

After that outburst, I was left utterly stunned. My eyes widened and my breath hitched slightly. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Kiba looking at Naruto in anger before looking at the ground, and Kakashi had even put his book back in his pouch, as he couldn't believe what Naruto said either.

I could feel tears stinging my eyes as I continued to stare at Naruto, dumbfounded completely. I tried opening my mouth to respond, but only gasps of breath came out.

"Well then maybe you should."

I directed my attention to Kiba, who was still looking at the ground, and Akamaru, who was growling at Naruto. Naruto turned to face him also, calming down a little.

"What?"

"Naruto, you've hurt two of the closest people to you in the last five minutes. One being the girl you've loved like a sister since you were twelve, and one that's … well, one that isn't that much. I think we all need to cool off slightly before continuing on with this mission. We all know you didn't mean what you said, so just take a few minutes to breathe and calm down."

It was unusual for Kiba to speak out so seriously like that, and my heart suddenly sank at what Naruto said. "You don't even realise that Kiba is in love with you!"

The tears started to pour out as I looked at Naruto one more time. He looked me in the eye and his expression softened a little, yet he still kept the defensiveness in his eyes.

After deciding that I couldn't take any more of this, I turned and faced Kakashi, who sympathised for me and he opened his arms slightly to welcome me for a comforting hug.

It was only then that I realised the pain in my stomach was still there.

I walked towards Kakashi, yet moved his arms away as I neared him. "I need to be alone." I said brokenly, and took off in the direction that we were meant to go in, hopefully not being followed. I didn't know where I was going and I didn't care, I just needed to leave that place.

"At least she'll treat me like a true friend."

Naruto was right. About everything. I just shouldn't be allowed near people, end of story.

I found a huge rock and sat on it, letting the tears spill freely as I pulled my knees to my chest, burying my head in between.

The pain in my stomach never ceased, and I sat there for a good hour or so, without anyone coming to talk to me or offer reassurance. And I was grateful. I felt I should go back soon, but decided to stay for a little longer, knowing if they were in some sort of trouble they'd get out of it much better if I wasn't there.

"Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in."

I looked up in shock; I had been so absorbed in letting the tears out I hadn't even bothered to mask my chakra or notice anyone else's.

The man looked at me, his glasses reflecting the rising sun. He pushed said glasses further up his nose, and placed bother hands behind his back.

"Seems you're not feeling very well lately. Especially after that little argument with the Kyuubi boy, I assume you're feeling pretty messed up, right?"

I decided to just ignore the man in front of me, as I wiped my eyes and stood up, ready to attack him if needs be.

In the far distance, I heard the clattering of Kunai hitting each other, and a very faint argument between Naruto and Kiba. I looked in that direction and the man before me laughed.

"They aren't having a fight. Well … not with each other. I sent men to attack them, and to lure them here, where we are. This is going to be fun!"

"Fuck off, Kabuto, and leave my friends alone."

He raised his eyebrows and took a step back. "Oooh, touchy today aren't we? You're still calling Naruto you're friend? After he practically told you you were a horrible, terrible one? That doesn't seem very fair does it?"

"That's life, Kabuto. Nothing is fair. And Naruto will always be my best friend no matter what he or anyone else says."

Kabuto chuckled once more as the sound of the fighting got a lot closer. He pulled out six kunai and held three in each hand expertly. He was looking for a fight, and I really felt like giving him one.

"Oh, so you think you're gonna win?" He took the three kunai from his right hand and placed them into his left. "I highly doubt that somehow."

He clicked his fingers, and once more a huge pain ran through my abdomen, doubling the one I already had. My eyesight went blurry and I clutched my stomach, hoping to make the pain stop.

I doubled over and briefly saw Kabuto looking down at me, smirking. I tried to stand up and ran towards him to punch that smirk off his face, but he clicked his fingers once more, and I screamed in pain as it felt like I was exploding on the inside out.

I could hear Kiba and Naruto's argument, be it slightly fuzzy, and I heard Kakashi's scream of my name, before the other two stopped and realised what was going on.

I fell to the floor as he stabbed my side with a kunai and cried in pain. He said hello to my three teammates before he bent down and slung me over his shoulder.

"I think it's about time you came with me." He whispered as I was losing consciousness. He flung a kunai at what I think was Naruto, as he repeated shouted 'bastard' and 'Sakura'. I heard footsteps that were undoubtedly his and I felt Kabuto kick him in the stomach, and, by the sounds of it, knocking him into a tree.

Akamaru barked a few times and I assumed it was Kiba's turn to try and get me from Kabuto, but he was beaten also.

I heard Kabuto laugh and a big explosion, before he disappeared with me on his shoulder and the next thing I just about saw was a dark, dank corridor, before finally closed my eyes and slipped into unconsciousness …

Wow. I really, really don't like this chapter. Nothing that I planned to happen from the forest scene onwards actually happened lol.

On the bright side, now she's at Orochimaru's lair, guess who we'll be bumping into again ;) Let the SasuSakuness BEGIN!

Don't you guys just almost hate Naruto for what he said!? I dunno how it happened! I did warn you of OOCness, so please don't flame me saying 'WTF? Naruto would never say things like that! This story sucks!' well … I'll allow the last sentence but the rest I'll scream =)

I hoped people liked the little Kiba and Naruto scene towards the beginning, I had that bit in my head for a very long time, I started with the whole 'collapse on Sakura's bed' thing (please don't ask me how he got into her room, he's Naruto, he finds ways to do anything) and then thought that conversation would be fun to have! I needed some humour in this chapter, especially with the way it turned out!

About Naruto's OOCness and why he is nothing like himself, lets just say Takara has changed his views on things. I mean, he has never met anyone, especially female, who is like him about things. Konan seriously knows what she's doing, bravo! =)

Also IMPORTANT! If you've read all that babble well done but anyway …

This may be the last time I update for a while. I know it's been almost a month since my last update and I'll try to do this when I can but … I'm joining 6th Form on Friday, I got my timetable yesterday and I have a few free periods of doing nothing, but I don't know if that means I can go home or whatever. So yeah, I got my GCSE results last week! (For anyone who this that knows what GCSEs are and have/will take them) And they were pretty good, but yeah, I'll try to write on weekends and maybe on a notepad during free lessons if I can, but I honestly don't know how long it will be until my next update. Sorry yall! I do feel bad about it. Honestly!

So yeah … please review!!!

For every review I get, a kunai will be thrown at Kabuto! You hate the guy, right?

Then REVIEW!!!!

Over and out =)
