"When did you ditch me?" Sasuke asked me in a surprised voice. I smirked.

"I'll tell you just shut up!" Then I turned to Sai, who was smiling sweetly at me. Sai's so cool! He's an ANBU agent! And he's my age! He must be super strong! And... I can't believe I'm saying this... but he's kinda cute to. Sai kept his gaze on me, which made me lightly blush. "Okay. Here's what happened."

"Enlighten us." Sasuke mused sarcastically. I growled at him. Why can't he be nice like Sai?

"Ditching you wasn't that hard Sasuke. All it took was a quick hand sign and some different words." I started Sasuke looked confused. So I started my story.

Flash Back-

"Sexy no Jutsu!" I yelled making a shadow clone hand sign. Sasuke didn't seem to notice. My clone popped out in a cloud of smoke and used the Sexy no Jutsu. Sasuke faltered and I used the cover of the smoke to hop to the ground on the other side of the building we were on. I looked back. Sasuke seem confident that he captured me. I smiled and transformed into a small fox just in case. Then, I sped to Inari-kun's house.

"INARI-KUUN!" I screamed out of my little fox mouth. Inari-kun came outside. He looked around. "Down here!" I said. Inari-kun looked down to see my little orange fluffy self. I transformed back into my usual self. Inari-kun's eyes lit up.

"That's so cool Naruko-Onee chan!" He beamed.

"Thanks! But more importantly. Have you seen my Ramen coupon!?"

"Your what?"

"It looks like this!" I said showing him a coupon that I had tucked under my forehead protector. Inari-kun looked at it and thought for a moment. Then scratched his head.

"Nope haven't seen it." He said. I sighed and tucked it back under my forehead protector. "Maybe you dropped it on your way to the bridge. Lets go look!" He said. I nodded and he led me towards the bridge.

On our way to the bridge we heard a noise. "W-we don't know! I'm s-sorry sir." A timid voice sounded. Inari-kun spoke up.

"Sound like trouble." He said

"Yeah. Lets go check it out." I agreed Inari-kun nodded and we rushed to the voice. Apparently it was a little boy being questioned by a man with silver hair, there were a bunch of other masked people surrounding the small area. The sliver haired man looked up and my eyes met his.

"So there you are." He smiled. I was truly confused. He started towards me. I don't know why, but my heart started beating faster.

"B-back off!" I shouted pulling out a kunai. I pushed Inari-kun behind me. The other boy scrambled back and looked at me wide eyed.

"Run Onee-chan! Inari!" He yelled. I glanced at him. But the man kept walking towards me.

"Inari-kun. Get that boy and run away." I whispered. Inari-kun gripped my shirt.

"But! Naruko Onee-chan!" He pleaded.

"NOW INARI!" I snapped. Inari-kun instantly backed up. He looked down and rushed over to the other boy. After some whispering they both took off. I sighed and glared at the man who was still walking at me. I kept backing up. My back hit a tree. "Stay away from me." I growled. But he just smiled.

"I need you to come with me for a second." He said.

"Like I would!" I hissed. He just chuckled. Then he turned to the other people.

"Go kill the brats." He commanded.

"NO!" I yelled. Throwing my kunai in their path. The man took this opportunity to grip my arm. He squeezed it hard. I was sure it was going to break. "Let go!" I growled. I tried tugging my arm away. But he had a firm grip.

"Naruko Onee-chan!" A voice yelled out and Inari rushed at the man who was holding my arm.

"Inari! I thought I-" But I stopped when one of the others kicked Inari aside. Inari coughed and held his stomach. Now, I was angry. That foreign chakra started forming again. I let it flow and my ears and claws and tail grew on their own. The man let go of my arm and I gave him a deathly glare. He started backing up. I walked towards him. But then he jetted off to the side. I looked over to where he ran. He was holding Inari with a kunai pressed against his arm. "Put him down." I growled. But the man smirked. And pressed the sharp end into Inari's arm. Inari let out a pained scream. "STOP IT!" I yelled the chakra flared up more. And the man shoved the kunai in farther. Inari screamed again. He was crying from the pain. I felt tears coming down my own face. The man ripped the kunai out his arm and held it at Inari's neck. "Please stop..." I cried. The chakra dissipated. Inari was unconscious from the pain he felt. "Please." I fell to my knees and bowed. "Please. I'll come with you. Don't hurt him anymore." I begged. The man smiled. And tossed Inari to one of the other people. 'let him go!" I pleaded.

"Not until were sure you won't try anything." the man said. "Stand." He demanded. I glanced at Inari and stood. He grabbed my hand and led me into the woods.

Ashamed at my weakness, I kept my head down. It was silent during the walk. Then we stopped. I looked up and one of the men carelessly dropped Inari on the ground. Inari groaned and coughed. I yanked myself from the mans hand and rushed over to him. Inari opened his eyes and looked up at me.

"Naruko Onee-chan. I'm sorry." He wheezed. I smiled at him.

"Don't worry about it!" I said holding back tears. "It's nothing really. Hey, find Sasuke and tell him I'll be right back okay?" I said, voice cracking. But I smiled as best as I could.

"I'm sorry." Inari said again.

"Hey! What are ya' cryin' for? Don't be such a baby Inari. I'll be back soon. I promise!" I smiled at him but tears continued to run down his face. "It's not your fault In-" a hand connected with a pressure point and then my world went black.

End Flash back.

Sai nodded and Sasuke made a big hole in the ground. What was his problem? I rolled my eyes.

"Anyway, when I came to Suigetsu was un strapping me from a table and saying he had to escort me out of the building." I shrugged. Sai nodded.

"Well, we should head back. I'm sure this 'Inari' is worried about you." He smiled.

"Yeah I guess." I said letting Sai grab my hand and lead me through the forest back to town. Sasuke was behind us muttering something and glaring at Sai. I rolled my eyes and sighed. I felt really tired for some reason. And my neck hurt really bad...

"Are you okay? Naruko-chan?" he asked, concerned. I looked up at him, yes, he's taller than me too.

"No, my neck just hurts . And I'm still kinda' tired." I yawned. Sai smiled and scooped me up in his arms.

"No worries." He smiled. "I'll carry you." he said walking onward. Sasuke started hissing something as I fell asleep against Sai.
