Kyo~
Chapter ten: Rumor has it.
" Do you love me?" Saku looked up from his work with a pen in his mouth and a calm look on his face, as if hearing that question was normal for him. He looked up into ocean blue eyes. Blond hair tumbled over her shoulders in pigtails.
She looked serious about the question, but it wasn't the first time he had been asked it, of course it was the first time Naruto had ever asked it of him.
He set the pen on his desk and stood up walking around his desk. He came to a halt in front of her, pushing her gently to sit on his black couch, that was in front of his desk. She went willingly. He took her hands into his and held them on her lap, he knelt in front of her. After looking into her eyes for a long moment, he spoke.
" Of course." He answered with out doubt. She searched his eyes and then sighed softly.
" What's wrong?" He asked gently. She winced slightly.
" Do you love me because we're teammates or because were friends?" His brows drew down in confusion.
" I love you because your you." He said and was bemused about where she was suddenly coming from. Saku knew about Naruto's past, about the Kyuubi, but she had never been the type to feel self conscious, or need reassurance like this. Especially when it dealt with if he loved her or not.
" What's wrong Naruto?" Her blond brows went down.
" Why aren't you telling me anything anymore? Why would you keep this to yourself? I thought we were friends." His eyes suddenly cleared of confusion as he realized immediately what she was talking about. He let go of her hands and stood up. He shook his head, walked around and sat back in his seat.
" It's a order, a mission, I didn't think I was cleared to really share that willingly." She looked hurt, and he winced. Whenever she gave him those pained eyes, he felt like he would do anything she asked. He closed his eyes.
Get it together Haruno. He told himself mentally.
He opened his eyes and peered into those sad blue orbs, he winced slightly.
" The old man asked you to find three lovers, and you didn't think me, Sasuke-teme, or Kakashi-sensei, needed to know that? You didn't trust us enough to tell? We could have helped." Naruto said with pain. Saku's eyes twitched.
" It's an order Naruto, not what I want. You want to help me find three woman who would take away my life with you, Sasuke, and Kakashi?" She winced.
" It's my future life, my future wives, my future children. I figured I had enough people trying to run my life, I wanted to make my own choices." She fidgeted on the sofa.
" Have you found anyone?" She asked. Saku sighed. He had always been closer to Naruto then anyone else. They had a bond like no one else could ever think to copy. Team seven was united, but it was the bond between Saku and Naruto that made them all the more closer. They could tell the other anything, they felt comfortable around each other, they could trust the other never to let the other down.
Saku thought about it. He hadn't told anyone except Hinata and Shikamaru about liking Itachi. He had vowed since the incident with Sasuke, he would never tell anyone he didn't trust about his feelings romantically. He couldn't hurt Naruto, he knew she loved him. He couldn't tell Sasuke, because he knew Sasuke in her own way, cared about him, and if she knew he liked her sister, well all the walls they had tore down for her to let them in, would be build back up and they, he, would never be able to get back in. He couldn't tell any of his other friends, because Ino would take it out of proportion and Saku wasn't ready to have Itachi know he liked her.
He wasn't even sure she would even look twice at him as a guy, and not just as a, sort of, friend, and subordinate. He had taken his time, she wasn't going anywhere and no one had taken her away from him, so he had to go about this slow. One couldn't just jump into a seduction. With Itachi Uchiha, you had to do things slowly, delicately, and had to be brilliant. It was partly why he told Shika about it, a fellow genius, and woman, could help him in that. He told Hina, because he was his best guy friend, and he knew Hina would never tell anyone even if threatened.
He was past the age where he went to his old sensei for advice, and the fact he could never find Kakashi unless she wanted to be found, didn't help either.
Saku had to decided if he would tell Naruto about Shikamaru's parents giving her to him, or not. Since he didn't plan to keep her as his, then no, but he wasn't sure he could really set her free either. He also knew if he said no one, that Naruto might do something drastic or think he was lying.
" Shika volunteered." Saku finally said and looked away from Naruto's eyes uncomfortable. She gasped softly in surprise. He wasn't sure if it was because there was someone, or because of who it was.
" That lazy ass volunteered for anything?" Sasuke asked in the doorway. He knew she had been there all along, but ignored her. She took a seat next to Naruto, making Saku met both their eyes.
" Her father demanded it of her, or else someone else would be with her, and Shika didn't want an arranged marriage. She figured I would be better than someone she didn't know, besides it was this, or I would never be allowed to see her again." Saku said with a shrug. Naruto looked a little upset. Sasuke rose her brow.
" So how do you plan to get her out of it?" Another voice asked. Sasuke and Naruto jumped at the sound of their old sensei's voice from behind Saku, at his window. Saku turned around. He hadn't see that coming. Saku rose his brow.
" What is this, a team seven intervention?" Saku asked crossing his arms over his chest. Kakashi eye crinkled at him.
" What do you mean get her out of it?" Naruto asked confused. Kakashi reclined in the window, book in hand but not reading or looking at it. She was looking at her old team.
" Saku is too kind-hearted to force anyone to marry him, let alone one of his closest friends. Besides Yamanaka Ino loves her. He wouldn't marry anyone his friend already loved." Saku winced at Ino's name remembering the fact that Ino knew about it, and was no doubt plotting revenge this very moment. Their friendship was over now. He hated that fact. He hated it with a passion.
" So he really has no one planned out to marry let alone sleep with. It figures." Sasuke said with a snort at him, as if she were mocking his ability to find anyone. His eyes narrowed at her, but he let it go.
" I thought you had plenty of fans, why haven't you found anyone?" Naruto asked. Saku's eye twitched.
" Actually Naruto, he has offers everyday, but he refuses them all." Saku shot their old sensei a dirty look.
" Been talking to Tsunade again?" He asked. Kakashi shrugged whipping her book open and beginning to read, and Saku realized it hadn't been Tsunade at all, but the white haired perverted porn writer.
Naruto and Sasuke looked at Saku weirdly.
" So your picky." Sasuke said with another snort. Saku's eye twitched again.
" You don't even have anyone?" Naruto asked puzzled. Saku glared at them both and stood to kick them out when she spoke again, seriously.
" Why didn't you just ask us? We would gladly help you." He froze and turned his startled eyes to Naruto. Sasuke was giving her equally startled eyes. Naruto was nothing but serious. Saku's eyes softened and he understood why she had asked about him loving her or not, now. His eyes hardened then, because he might have given in to her. He of course loved her, and if he could have any easy way out, marrying them would be it. But he had too much pain with Sasuke, and Naruto would never be his. He had ruined one friendship with his friends, he didn't need Hina to hate him as well.
Besides Hina wouldn't get revenge he would just feel useless and he knew he was Hinata's first real guy friend. If he betrayed Hinata, then Saku would be down two friends, one of them his best friend, and he would never ruin his friendship with Hinata.
" No. I don't need help from anyone. I need to do this myself." Saku said and left before he had to see the hurt from both his teammates, or the knowing look from their old sensei. He didn't need to feel that guilt more than he did. He already had to live with more regret and guilt then he needed.

She was minding her own business and walking the street of Konoha toward her favorite cafe to meet Itachi for lunch, when she overheard a conversation about her. She tensed and acted as if nothing were wrong, when she listened closely.
" I heard she finally got with Ino. It's about time the suspense was killing me! I mean I've wanted to know what the two of them would do together. The two whores of Konoha! Just think!" Shisui went very still in shock. How the hell had that gotten out?
Had someone seen her leave with Ino that night at the bar? Had they been followed? How many people knew? Could he erase their memories before Saku found out?
" I know, but don't you feel bad for Saku-kun?" Another woman asked the other gossip.
" What do you mean?" The first woman asked.
" Oh didn't you know? Saku and Shisui were apparently seen making out at the very bar Ino picked her up at! What a terrible thing! No class!" The second woman said with a sneer.
" Oh that poor dear! I hope he doesn't take it too hard!" The first woman said about Saku. Shisui winced and knew that this was common knowledge. She had to get to Saku and tell him before he found out from someone else. This way when she told him, he would know the truth, and not anything someone else may say about her.
She was glad she was fast or else the trip to the hospital would have taken forever. However it was too late anyway, right when she came around the corner looking for him, four nurse were already talking to him, telling him.
He didn't seem to believe it at first, but when he looked up at saw her, she knew, he knew it, was true. She was shocked to see the surprise cross his face, realization, and then the most shocking thing of all, hurt. She saw the pain cross his face faster then he could school it. He sent her a blank expression before turning on his heel and walking away. She felt her heart clench in pain.
Damn it. Too late.
XxxXxxXxxXxxXxxXxxX
However brief it was, the betrayal was still there. Ino nodded at his revenge. He felt empty. He didn't feel really happy, like he thought he would at this. He didn't feel anything at all really. Which upset him. He wanted to feel relieved, happy Saku was suffering, but he didn't. If anything he was unhappy.
He scowled and stomped home. This was just a waste of time. He had no reason to feel guilty. That bastard had taken his woman, it was only fair he take the same from him. He had no reason to feel upset about it. He did what was right, and there was nothing more to it. He refused to believe he was in the wrong.

ANBU Headquarters:
Itachi looked up from her paperwork with a irritated frown. She hate being interrupted, but more so when she had something to do. Like get the rest of this paperwork completed before the end of the day, so she could finally have a little time to herself, before coming back in tomorrow.
She had been getting too much stress from home and her mother about this 'seduce Sakura'- thing and the usual clan politics.
Itachi set her pen down and waited while the knock sounded on her office door.
" Enter." She commanded. An ANBU with black hair came in her head lowered, not making eye contact. People feared her after all. The ANBU knelt in front of her desk.
" I'm sorry to interrupt Captain Uchiha-sama, but we're getting reports throughout the village of Saku Haruno destroying one of the training field." Itachi's eye brows shot up.
" Which one?" She asked curiously. Wondering what pissed him off this time. Usually he didn't do something like lose his temper, unless whatever happened was something that was just too much for him to contain.
" Five." Well at least he went to the one by the main gate, the furthest from the village and the Hokage and the ANBU HQ. Itachi dismissed the ANBU then stood. Well she guessed it was time to go figure out what was bothering him this time.
" Don't bother cousin, it's my fault he's pissed off." Shisui said as Itachi walked out of her office. Shisui was standing beside her door arms crossed under her large chest. Itachi frowned at her. Sure they fought sometimes, but Itachi had never known a time when Sakura had been seriously upset with Shisui, let alone angry enough to show it with violence. Of course if she hadn't suspended him from missions, maybe he wouldn't have so much built up energy.
" How so?" Itachi asked shutting her office door and facing her cousin. Her cousin looked like she hadn't gotten sleep, no...like she had been crying. Itachi's brows drew down in concern. Shisui was almost never upset. There wasn't any time in Itachi's life where she had ever seen Shisui cry, so she was puzzled.
" Are you pregnant?" Itachi asked curiously. She had never been pregnant, and Itachi was sure she never had been despite all her lovers, because a jutsu taught by Sakura himself, a contraceptive. Maybe Shisui had actually successfully seduced Saku and forgot the jutsu in her passion and now she was pregnant and Saku was taking it hard? Or maybe it wasn't his? Why did her mind automatically go toward such drama? Must be all those soaps her father likes watching.
Shisui gave Itachi the evil eye, and Itachi shrugged it off.
" No. I slept with Ino Yamanaka." Itachi was more confused now.
" And that's what relevance to why Sakura is pissed off?" Itachi asked bemused. Shisui gave her a ' Seriously?' kind of look. Itachi wasn't sure what the equivalent of Shisui, with Ino, had to do with anything, let alone her sleeping with him.
" Kami your hopeless. You wonder why I keep trying to drag you to get out more? Ino Yamanaka is, was, apparently Sakura's best friend." Itachi frowned more. Okay...so why would Sakura be mad at Shisui for sleeping with him? Shisui, obviously seeing her confusion, sighed.
" Have you not noticed the fact that he didn't push me away when I made out with him a few weeks ago at that bar?" Shisui asked waving a hand in the air. Itachi snorted.
" He did push you away Shisui." She face palmed.
" He pushed me away only after he got all hot and bothered, not before. Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he likes me..., well at least wants to shag me." Shisui said. Itachi frowned at her cousin. With a ' continue' sort of look. Shisui sighed deeper.
" I slept with his best friend, Sakura liked me. You don't sleep with your best friends girl, Sakura will never touch me again now. Ino did it on purpose." Itachi finally understood that, but then...
" Why did he do it for?" Shisui's brows went down in displeasure.
" The Nara clan decided to toss their only daughter, Shika-chan, on Saku, or else he couldn't come onto their lands and see Shikamaru again, and Shika-chan would be forced to marry someone she didn't know let alone like. You know Sakura, all noble and all that crap, and I also found out apparently the Hokage ordered Sakura to find three lovers. Apparently Shikamaru is his first, though he hasn't touched her, because apparently Ino loves Shikamaru, which is why Ino wanted revenge for Saku 'taking' his woman, and so he got me drunk and slept with me, paying Sakura back, despite the fact Sakura didn't touch Shika-chan because he didn't want to take the girl Ino loved." Shisui said in a long three breath sentence. Itachi blinked at all the information and started filing through it.
At least she knew now what was wrong, on top of knowing that Shisui did not know about Sakura being ordered to find three lovers before she herself found out.
She also now knew that Shisui had not only liked Sakura, but she had loved him as well. Itachi wasn't sure why Shisui never told him, and she also knew that Sakura had some sort of emotion toward Shisui in return, maybe not love, but he had at least wanted her sexually. But why would he not just take her then? She had given herself to him more times then Itachi could remember, if he wanted to sleep with her...why did he always push her away?
" Then you need to speak with him about this." Itachi concluded. Shisui looked at her like she had just grown another head.
" In the mean time, I'll see if I can calm him enough for him to either speak to me, or not destroy the village." Shisui looked forlorn when she walked away to confront Sakura. Itachi looked back briefly and shook her head. Maybe her father was right, the soaps really were like real life. Itachi hadn't thought it possible with all the dramatic things in them, but it seemed she was proven wrong. There was sure a lot of drama going on today at least.
Itachi knew one thing...if Mikoto had heard all this information, he would never watch the soaps again, he would want to live it.

Training ground five:
Naruto and Sasuke watched in confusion and slight worry, well Sasuke was slightly worried, Naruto was openly worried, with Kakashi and a small crowd of people watching Saku tear up the field in suppressed rage. He wasn't doing anything in a fit, he was simply sparing with himself, and not holding back. In which a punch to the ground opened it up, and sent his multiple shadow clones into the opened ridge. A uprooted tree was swung and took out half a dozen clones. His clothes were ripped, sweat dripped down his body, he had blood smeared across his cheek, he had a cut on his temple, and he was breathing heavily.
There was much more damage to the field then him of course. He was just training, but training much too hard by himself, and they could see the anger right behind every act of violence, but he was doing things in rhythm, not randomly. It was like a dance of choreographed rage.
By now they had all heard about what had happened with Shisui and Ino, and knew about Shikamaru and Saku. Of course there was a difference. Saku never slept with Shikamaru. Of course Kakashi knew that Saku had at least lusted after Shisui, but Sasuke and Naruto were puzzled by his anger.
" Why is he so mad about this sensei?" Naruto asked softly to their old teacher standing behind them leaning on a still rooted tree. No book in sight. Her lone eye met blue and black orbs of her old students.
" He either liked Shisui, or at least lusted after her. With what Ino and Shisui did, Saku now won't ever touch her." Sasuke look puzzled still.
" Why?" She asked.
" Guy code. You don't touch another man's woman. By sleeping with her, Shisui, whether she wants it or not, will forever be, at least to Sakura, Ino's. Thus, off limits." Kakashi explained. Sasuke and Naruto understood.
" So he's pissed because he can't touch her? Did he liked her that much?" Naruto asked a little hurt.
" I think it was mainly lust, he lusted after her and wanted her, he never acted on it for whatever reason regardless, but now he never could, even when he was ready to." Kakashi said and watched eight more clones go down. She was impressed with the amount of clones around the field getting 'killed' by Saku. Kakashi hadn't known he could even make that many, she had only ever seen Naruto make so many at one time. It made her wonder what else Saku could do that they didn't know about or that he was holding back.
Well he had to get into ANBU some how, it wasn't any doubt he had some new things he could do that they hadn't seen. Yes she knew he was in ANBU. It wasn't hard to find out, when he was so close to Shisui in the first place, or that he was familiar with Itachi. Of course the tattoo, that was identical to her own, was on his arm.
She even knew he was ranked high up as well. Of course Naruto and Sasuke didn't know this fact, thus why no doubt he never showed all these things in training when he trained with them. If he used all his strength anyway he would no doubt destroy Konoha, which was why Kakashi knew even now, thought it didn't seem like it, he was keeping a hold of his power, and each and every hit.
" Why can't he just take her back if he wants her? It's not like Shisui sleeps with any guy more then once anyway." Sasuke asked, not that she wanted Shisui to even touch Saku, but she didn't like seeing Saku upset, let alone lose his control. He almost never did.
" Guys stick to their code's." Kakashi said eye flickering over Naruto. Like why, despite the attraction, Saku steered away from Naruto. After all Sakura's best friend, Hinata Hyuuga, loved Naruto. Kakashi knew it was the reason, so it didn't surprise her about this. Of course Kakashi was sure Ino didn't care if Shikamaru slept with Saku or not, knowing she chose him, had set this off. And Sakura had to pay the price.
The two girls looked confused still about it, Kakashi didn't blame them. Guy code confused her as well.
Suddenly a presence appeared in front of Sakura on the field. Everyone watched in shock as the person, identified as Itachi Uchiha, stopped Saku's punch before it hit a clone of his. Luckily Saku dispersed the chakra in his fist before it connected and broke Itachi's hand. Holding his fist, Itachi locked eyes with Sakura.
They all waited in silence, curious, and puzzled, by the events. Sasuke and Naruto more puzzled because they didn't understand why Itachi was confronting him, because no doubt Sasuke didn't think they even knew each other outside of the times they saw each other, to her knowledge, outside of missions. Of course Kakashi knew that those two were as close as friends, as they could be to each other, considering Itachi's personality in general of course. Now that she thought about it, Sakura and Itachi were on the same level, no wonder Itachi accepted him as a friend.
They all watched as Itachi had a softly spoken, silent to them, conversation with Saku, in which he looked reprimanded, a little ashamed, and overall like he swallowed a pine cone. She said something and he lit up with a dark blush that surprised everyone including Itachi herself. Then her lips tilted into an amused smile.
Kakashi rose her brow in surprise. So that was how it was? Well now...she was starting to wonder about Sakura after all. But knowing he at least lusted after Shisui had set her on the right tract, but knowing Sakura had a crush on Itachi...now that made a lot of sense to that past few years of him being single. A lot of things were cleared up with this new knowledge. It was a shame she hadn't realized this before now. Kakashi could have done so many things.
xxXxxXxxXxxXxxXxxX
Saku, after being reprimanded by his Captain for destroying a training field, went home with her words in his mind. He regretted losing his control like that, he hadn't even realized he had wanted Shisui to be his, and considered her to be, until she wasn't anymore. He rubbed a hand over his face in stress. He had been too focused on Itachi to notice he actually liked Shisui. He was an idiot. Now he couldn't have her.
This was all Tsunade's fault. If he hadn't intervened when he promised to allow him to find his own lovers, then the Nara's wouldn't have forced Shikamaru on him, he would still be friends with Ino, and he would still have Shisui. Though he hadn't even realized he already regarded her as his own.
He hadn't much thought of it. He always saw Shisui as a friend, ever since he met her. She was so much energy, so much happiness, so much sensuality, but overall, she had her own secrets, her own puzzles she kept hidden. Shisui was the black sheep of the Uchiha family, but she wasn't so much different then Itachi. Itachi just didn't try to hide that she was mysterious, or that she had her own problems, she used that blank face sure, but it gave more away then Shisui's seductive/carefree/happy, mask.
Shisui was hiding just as much as everyone else, she just did it so no one would think she was. When people heard her name, or saw her, they simply though of her as the scandalous black sheep of the Uchiha clan. Which is no doubt what she planned all along. Of course they knew Shisui was dangerous, in her own way, but Shisui was more then likely to be trusted then Itachi. Itachi was feared more, if Shisui walked up, you wouldn't fear her.
Saku knew she hid herself behind her actions. It was brilliant and everyone underestimated her. It kept her from the clan's site as well, at least in any useful way. Saku knew first hand that Shisui's Sharingan was powerful. She had skills in other area's as well. She wasn't called Shisui of the body flicker for nothing. However Fugaku and the Elders of the Uchiha clan didn't bother to use her like they did the brilliant Itachi.
Itachi didn't hide she was different, brilliant, and powerful. Shisui did. The Uchiha clan soon forgot her true power as it was pushed to the back of their minds. They saw her now as a badly kept secret. That in itself was what drew Saku to Shisui. Knowing there was something else to her, made him curious to find it.
Of course knowing that her personality wasn't very faked, was also something curious. She really did have this sort of personality, but she over used it for her own sake. She was deeper then anyone he had met, with the personality of Naruto, Kakashi, and Sasuke all in one. Maybe that was why he was so comfortable around her, even when first meeting her.
Of course like Naruto, he had taken her for granted, and though he deeply cared for Naruto, he knew despite caring for her, he could never have her. Of course he had apparently seen Shisui and figured he could have her, but liking Itachi kept him busy, and he had simply not acted on anything he felt for her. Of course maybe he always thought she was just messing with him, like she did all the other guys. He knew he had thought that one time or another, but he had still saw her as his. He now realized he had.
This fact was why he had lost control of his emotions like he did. There was too much going on. He was being forced to make moves he didn't think he would ever make. He was forced to find three lovers, when he only wanted one, he was forced to change his life, his future, and his views on family.
He was being rushed to change his future with the ignorant Elders of the village, and their Hokage. He was suspended from missions, when before his life was all about work. He was being forced to acknowledge his life and self now, when before he had pushed himself into his job. He was forced into doing things he had avoided, and he had lost a friend as well as someone he had seen as his, all along.
He was dealing with too much, and he hated it. He rather be working, then dealing with his life. This was something new and different and he didn't like it at all. He didn't know where to go from here, what to do, how to make things better, how to stop the pain. He didn't know what to do for the first time in his life, and it scared him.
He felt like his life was falling down around him. He usually could handle everything, and the times when he needed help he would ask Shikamaru, or Hinata, or eventually Tsunade or Kakashi. Yet, now he couldn't put that on Shikamaru, he couldn't weight Hinata down. Tsunade was the cause of all his problems, and if he went to Kakashi he would feel like he was twelve again, and it would only make things worse. He had to handle it on his own, or ignore his own feelings.
He had once let his emotions get the better of him, but when Sasuke had refused his love those years ago, he was faced with the knowledge that since he couldn't have her, he would go for his harder dream, to become a Shinobi, and he had thrown himself into his getting stronger and moving up the rankings, until he got where he was. His lips turned into a frown.
So he had been ignoring his own life for countless years now, and just now, after so long, he was forced into dealing with everything. No wonder he had lost control of himself. He had years of emotions suddenly snap under the pressure. No wonder he was more comfortable working then being alone and un-busy.
If this never would have happened though, he no doubt would have went his whole life working hard and ignoring his own life problems and feelings. It was probably for the best that this all happened. He needed to face his black box, and stop hiding from the memories, and emotion. He needed to feel. He needed to acknowledged that they were important, if not on missions, at least in his personal time.
No one ever said you couldn't have emotions, they always told them that a Shinobi doesn't let emotions get in the way. He couldn't let this get in his way, but he couldn't ignore everything either. He had to face this, and move on. He had to change. He had to do his orders and stop being afraid of his own life.
It was okay to feel things, you just couldn't let them run your life.
Saku was pulled out of his thoughts with the cry of a hawk. He looked up with a frown at the circling bird. He was being summoned.

End chapter: Darn it, I was going to put Gaara in this one, but my writing got the better of me, darn it, so wait a few chapters, then I'll get the sand siblings in, Sorry for all you who are waiting for the Suna gang to show up! They do I swear! Just wait a few more chapters! I got too involved in the ShisuiXSaku this chapter lol.
And those wondering what Itachi said to Saku, keep wondering, because I have no clue, I just wanted to have Kakashi jump into the ban-wagon with Tsunade and start plotting. After all you guys wanted more Kakashi!
This chapter was supposed to have a lot more stuff going on, believe me. Like only one thing from my list of things to do this chapter was accomplished :( ( yeah Shisui lol)
But I guess since this is going to be a long fic, it has to be drawn out somehow lol. So hope you enjoyed this chapter! I finally got some people wanting more Shisui! So for those who wanted her, here you go, more Shisui moments!
Any questions, comments, or 'WTF's review me!
As for the pairings as asked by, from all you my readers/reviewers, so far were right about here, ( and since so far I only have chapter three posted for this fic while writing this chapter, I'll thus tell you all so far your favorites couples, but will no doubt add more to this before posting this chapter itself.
We have new votes!:
So here's what I'll do. You guys have been struggling over SakuXShika, SakuXShisui, and SakuXNeji for a long time now. I'm not making you chose right now, because things need to play out a little more or else your votes maybe bias. So give me votes, but over all the next couple will be made in the next few chapters. So be ready. And send in your votes or force me to make my own choice.
So you can only have two more Konoha people with Saku, not even getting into Akatsuki yet.
The most votes go to:
ShikaXSaku
ShisuiXSaku
and or
NejiXSaku
( Despite the countless votes for SasuXSaku it will not happen people! We've gone over this! I'm not writing this fic for SakuXSasu, there will be one-sided moments not to worry, but not a couple. Sorry but no.)
I need you guys to tell me who you want because one of these couples will happen for sure. So you tell me, who's the next for sure couple going to be? Just give me one for sure, and then your favorite other couple it doesn't have to be SakuXShi or SakuXNeji or SakuXShika, it can be ShinoXSaku for all I care, but add me some votes!
I was surprised to get requests for more TsunaXJiraiya moments XDD I didn't realize you guys like them popping up in the fic so much lol. I'll be sure to add more if possible.
Okay another new request is InoXSai, so if there are objections tell me now, or else I'll make it happen, it would be a good future couple for Ino since everyone hates him except like one person, so if you think Ino should at least get some sort of happy ending, if you can get a happy anything with Sai, then give me votes for this couple, or else Ino will forever be an old loveless, pimp.
So far that's all as for requests, if I missed some yell at me in a review :D I had a couple anonymous reviews, one of which wanted some more Fugaku and Mikoto involvement XDD So in future chapters, I'll make Fugaku and even Mikoto involved more. Lol.
Okay then! That's the end of this chapter! Remember I'll get a chapter out a week, usually Monday, unless I run out of written chapters, or I finish the fic, ( Or I can't for some reason get to the computer) so look for a new chapter every week ( Usually Monday)! And enjoy! Tell your friends! :D
