Lazyfox: Okay not going to lie here people I've been really busy here the last few months because of school. I know that may not be a very good excuse for making you wait five months for this chapter, but its all I got.

Random: Though in her defense she really has tried to update, but it just ended up being an epic fail for her. Anyway LazyFoxLover does not own Naruto or it's characters.

Lazyfox: Thank you Random. Now here it is my lovely reviewers a very long awaited chapter again really sorry for not updating like I should.


Late at night atop a deserted building stood two lone figures amongst the darkened night sky. The two figures were having a heated argument with one another with the younger of the two yelling at the older figure.

"I'm telling you I won't do it!" The younger man yelled to the older man who was giving him a deadly glare since he was not happy to be defied.

"Boy you will do as we have planned! If you don't do as we have planned then our entire village will be destroyed!" Growled the older man. "Do you really want to be responsible for the destruction of this village?"

"I won't let this village fall, but I will do things my way not yours" the younger man declares. "Besides I won't allow anyone to hurt my little brother or sister."

The older man growled. "Your too soft. This village would have be better off if you just finished that demon brat off when you go to carry out your mission."

The younger man's onyx eyes darken before shifting to a crimson red color with four black comas in them as he growled at the other man. "Don't you EVER call my little sister that again or you will find yourself the next victim of my wrath" he said with a dark tone lining his words.

The older man fixed the man with a level stare before he decided to end the conversation before they were discovered and to save his own hide from the obviously mad youngster. "Well, this meeting is over. This time tomorrow you will be performing the most important mission this village has ever seen. Just remember what your fighting for and whats at sake if you fail" the man said before disappearing off the rooftop.

The younger man was left alone on the rooftop staring up at the almost full moon with his back to normal Onyx colored eyes. His eyes revealed his turbulent emotions, but they also showed an unbreakable resolve. "I assure you Danzo, I know exactly what I'm fighting for" he declared before he too disappeared off the rooftop.

"Dobe you have got be the slowest person I have ever met in my life when it comes to getting ready for school" Sasuke growled from the front door.

"Shut up Teme! I'm trying to find my notebook I had it out last night doing my homework" Naruko yelled out to him continuing to frantically tearing her room apart to find her orange notebook.

"Did you check Nii-sama's room, since he was helping you last night on most of your work" Sasuke suggested only to hear the blonde haired girl stop tearing her room apart and hear her quick footsteps go down the hall to his brother's room. "Dobe."

Naruko hurried to Itachi's room and knocked hurriedly on his door waiting for him to answer. She waited a few seconds before the door was opened and she scampered into the room passed a dazed Itachi.

"Naruko-chan why are you still here and not heading off to school?" the eldest Uchiha brother asked.

"I had to find the notebook we did all that homework in last night. Do you know where it is Itachi-Nii?" she asked as she looked on his desk.

Itachi blinked in thought before walking to his dresser where the orange notebook lay and picked it up. "Here you go Naruko-chan I forgot to put it in your book bag last night after you fell asleep" he tells her walking back over to her.

Naruko eyes lit up at the sight of the notebook and took it from his hands. "Thank you so much Itachi-Nii I thought for sure I was going to get another detention for not having my homework again" she said giddily hugging him in gratitude.

Itachi gave her a small smile as he petted her head. "Your welcome Imoto"

Naruko backed away from him her brows scrunched up in confusion never hearing Itachi call her his little sister before. He would always address her as 'Naruko-chan'. She looked up at him to see his eyes were swimming with many conflicting emotions. She was about to ask him what was wrong when she was being pulled out the room by one of her ponytails.

"Dobe you are not going to make us late again for the third time this week. I refuse to get lectured from that lazy friend of yours. I don't care if you haven't found your notebook yet we're leaving now!" Sasuke growled tugging Naruko to the door. "See later Nii-Sama"

"Owwww teme knock it off that hurts!" Naruko shouted before she turned back to Itachi. "Bye-Bye Itachi-Nii" she called out to him before she was pulled out the door.

"Have a great day you two…" Itachi called out to them while waving goodbye with a sad smile on his face. "And Goodbye"

Naruko walked to school biting on her lip as she was lost in thought still stuck on how Itachi was acting this morning.

"Dobe if you keep doing that people are going to think you trying to eat your own lips off" Sasuke teased keeping up his steady pace to school.

"Shut up teme I'm trying to think over here!" Naruko shouted at him.

"Oh my that's even worse. Try not to make your head explode I would hate trying to explain to everyone you died from overloading your brain with thinking" Sasuke teased while barely dodging the punch aimed to his face.

"That's it teme you're so DEAD!" Naruko screamed starting to chase the chucking raven haired boy.

Shikamaru, Choji, Lee, and Hinata were standing in front of the academy gates waiting for Naruko and Sasuke.

"Do you think they're going to be late again Shikamaru?" Choji asked eating a few of his barbecue chips.

"Knowing Blue-eyes probably" Shikamaru replied giving a yawn. "Troublesome girl" he muttered making the gang laugh.

"S..Shikamaru-kun y..you sure l..like to pick on N..Naru-chan" Hinata stuttered out a little which made the others give her a smile since she was getting better with talking with people since she became a member of their group.

"It's not picking on her its just calling it like I see it" Shikamaru stated placing his arms behind his head.

"Should we be worried they have ten minutes before class start and won't this be their third tardy?" Lee asked glancing at the clock with a worried expression. "Didn't Iruka-sensei say if they're late again they have detention for a week?"

"Yeah he did which means they won't be late seeing as Iruka-sensei also threatened to make Naruko go a day without Ramen" Shikamaru tells him before lifting up three fingers. "Which means they should be here in 3...2...1"

"TEME! GET BACK HERE AND FACE ME YOU COWARD!" Is what the gang hears before a black and yellow blur pass them.

"Told ya" Shikamaru stated walking calmly to the front entrance of the academy.

"Does anyone else besides me find it creepy how he does that?" Choji asked only to get nods from the other two before they all made their way into the academy to see Naruko trying to choke Sasuke to death.

"Wonder what S...Sasuke-kun did to make N..Naru-chan so mad?" Hinata asked only to giggle when Naruko was plucked off him by Shikamaru who then proceeded to drag her over to them with an angry pout on her face as Sasuke followed behind them.

"Your lucky Shika saved you teme" Naruko growled.

"Whatever dobe I didn't need his help" Sasuke replied trying to selvage a little of his pride.

"Alright next time I'll just let Blue-eyes strangle you to death then" Shikamaru replied while yawning making everyone laugh while Sasuke considerably paled a little bit.

"Why were you trying to kill Sasuke Naruko-chan?" Lee asked his crush.

"Cuz the stupid teme was picking on me. Saying my head was going to explode from thinking" she growled glaring at the smirking raven haired boy.

"Hey I was only picking though it could happen to you" Sasuke said only to get slapped upside the head by Shikamaru.

"Shut up or next time I really will let Blue-eyes choke you to death" he threatened making Naruko perk up.

"Thanks Shika I know I can always count on you" she giggled giving him a big smile before the warning bell rung signaling class was about to start. "Looks like we have to go. See you at lunch Lee" Naruko said giving him a hug bye who returned it.

"See ya Naruko-chan, everyone" Lee said as he ran off to his class while the rest of the gang raced off to Iruka-sensei's classroom.

All through the school day Naruko went back to her thoughts on Itachi and was tempted to talk to Sasuke and Shikamaru about it, but she didn't want to worry them, so she decided to just let it go thinking it was just her imagination. At the ringing of the last bell the gang met up together at the front gate where they stood to wait for Lee.

"Hello everyone thanks for waiting for me" Lee called out as he rushed over to them.

"No problem Bushy-Brow. I'm glad school finally over for this week I don't think I could handle anymore homework" Naruko complained grasping her head dramatically making her friends laugh.

"I don't know why you complain about it you usually get Nii-sama to help you with it any way" Sasuke teased making everyone laugh again.

"Hey I don't always go to Itachi-Nii. Besides he doesn't mind it" Naruko says defending herself.

"I'm sure he doesn't Blue-eyes. Now how about we head over to the ramen bar my treat" Shikamaru said making Naruko jump him into a hug.

"I love you Shika come on guys lets go" Naruko cheered dragging Shikamaru behind her as she rushed off to the Ramen bar.

"I think if Naruko could she would marry Ramen" Choji said while having an anime sweat drop fall down his head as the others nodded and followed after the speedy blonde.
