WHY I'M SO STUPID?
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Sorry for not updating for so long, life kept getting in the way. Plus, the way things ended in Shuppuden and how Gaiden was done, kind of messed things up a bit when it came to writing Naruto fics, and pretty sure I'm not the only one feeling the effects of it, considering Kishimoto lead people on for so long on who will end up with who on the hints he been giving out and all of a sudden Naruto and Sasuke take an interest in the girls that they have never returned the feelings to. Plus with Gaiden, can't help but feel like he decided to throw in a crazy form of irony with the kids to where even though Naruto doesn't get the girl he was pursuing for years, his kid ends up with her daughter, like if there is a wedding scene somebody is compare the similarities between Sakura and her daughter when it comes to their taste in men.
Final note, when going through the entire Naruto timeline and plot, there are just too many holes that put the story of the series off kilter quite a bit, and makes one want to know what Kishimoto was thinking with all of the surprises that he thrown in, leaving more questions than answers. Like when Naruto's parents were revealed and how they were, like both were geniuses and smart, why was Naruto a complete idiot instead of a genius trying to survive? Too much brain damage from being struck in the head too much, especially from Sakura's chakra punches? Or why he didn't gain Kushina's chakra chains or found a way to learn Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique? Or the fact that everybody waited for what, 2 or 3 years for the battle against Madara to come to an end, that he decided to throw in a bunch of last minute stuff that contradicts everything that was mentioned earlier, and bringing in the person that started the whole mess, along with rushing the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke that ends with a forfeit. And the final couplings, while ShikaTema and SaiIno were a given, the NaruHina and SasuSaku seemed more like a way to please the fans then sticking to the script. I know there are fans of those two who would say it's okay as is, and I respect that, what I don't respect is how the ending of the series is more about making more money pleasing the fans despite the hints towards something else. Mainly wondering if the guy was high on crack or something when he came up with the ideas.
Warning, there will be a bit of Iruka bashing. Got nothing against the guy, just that most fics have him being a decent for being the first person to care for Naruto, yet at the same time his inactions towards Naruto's growth makes him just as guilty as those who took action to prevent his growth, along with how hypocritical he is for the fact that he would train other students, but he couldn't train Naruto because for some reason, it would be like he was playing favorites. Mainly, even though he's a great guy, he still has flaws that nobody ever points out unless it's to do with the genin exams.
Oh, and from this point on Sakura's parent are going to have their canon names, I'm too lazy to go back to change the rest.
It has been barely two days since what is now called the 'final fox hunt,' called that because when the fox is strong enough to not only fight back, but also has the law, along with the Fire Daimyo on his side to where he passed a law stating that all demon containers are to treated with respect and given equal right, then it means that things in the past should stay in the past. Those that chose to try and get to know Naruto better, who were not only earn some of his trust and notice what they were blind to with their hatred, but also lost some strong friendships because some people just can't accept the fact that they were harming an innocent child, not the fox itself.
Now not only did the idiots got themselves some one-on-one time with Konoha's three top, sadist interrogators', they also get to see what a lack of sympathy from both those that used to be close to them and from the former elders and ex council members for attacking not only a loyal ninja of Konoha, but also the son of their hero. And to add more salt to the wound, they were hoping that the civilian council would order their release from the Hokage only to be reminded that their usual supporters are either in prison with them or got the boot and the only people on the council now are more open-minded enough to know the difference between using their power wisely and abusing it.
Right now at the academy, Iruka's mind was elsewhere at the moment. Just recently, he was able to have Naruto come by his class and be a guest lecturer for his current batch of students. While all went well, despite how each generation keeps thinking titles and status mean everything in life, Naruto brought up something that reminded Iruka of his actions towards Naruto in the past, or rather inactions.
Flashback
Class was in full swing when Naruto arrived and started to answer questions and telling stories. While most of the students were basically worshiping the ground Naruto walked on, a fan club of young girls was forming, considering the hearts in their eyes were a dead giveaway and some even decided to take his advice on how to become a better ninja, which in turn would help make them into a better person, there were still the council kids, and those few that come from the Hyuga Clan, who felt that titles were everything, to where even though Naruto is a kage's son, they still try to make him seem lower than them by bringing up his past, when he was originally thought to be a demonic orphan dead last that couldn't even do the simplest of jutsus. Yet he just pissed them off by ignoring them and any questions that were meant to be offensive.
After getting tired of being ignored, "Why should we listen to a commoner that nobody wanted to adopt when he grew up an orphan?" A boy yelled out, obviously the child of either a rich merchant or council member. Iruka and most of the people in the room gave the boy a dirty look, especially since of them were children of some of Naruto's tormentors and they pretty much were a bit estranged from their parents because of the fact that they would destroy somebody's childhood because they wanted to take their anger and grief on somebody who didn't deserve such actions.
Naruto, while wanting to mangle the boy for bringing up one of the few things he was denied due to bigotry, at least on the inside, on the outside, he still kept his cool, "Why should I answer to a spoiled little brat who would mess his shorts if somebody were to fight back?" He countered, causing the boy to fume, "And here is a little fact that they seem to either leave out in the academy or fails to sink in, but in our line of work, titles, who your family is, everything you thought that was important to stake your identity doesn't matter out there in the real world. It doesn't matter if your rich or poor, rookie of the year or dead last, boy or girl, or even who your parents are, because out there, you're just another target for anybody, from villages to bandits, and far worst for kunoichi considering they risk going through a fate far worse than death, with it being either rape, sold as a sex slave or, amongst the worst, especially if you have a bloodline, a baby factory for somebody or some village to add some power to their arsenal."
While he would have wanted the blonde to sugar coat the facts a bit, yet at the same time, he knew that it has to be said, especially considering the fact that he was tired of passing students only for most of them to fail right after being assigned to teams because most of them either because the privileged few expected to be given everything on a silver platter, including a jonin vest from the start or because, mainly those from civilian families who have no ninja experience whatsoever, are pretty much flying blind and the jonin decides that the team they were given aren't worth the effort. Now thanks to the evidence that Sakura uncovered involving Naruto, and the investigation started by Tsunade, chances are, the academy will be returning to shinobi hands considering that it's thanks to the incompetence of the Civilian Council that Konoha genin are the weakest when compared to other villages despite the fact that Konoha has plenty of bloodlines in their forces.
Seeing how most of the students were pale and wide eyed, none more so then the female portion considering that they never thought that it could be that dangerous to be a ninja, but at the same time, thanks to his experience, he can tell what would be going on in some of the girls' heads, especially the fan girls, along with some of the kids thinking that he's either lying or doesn't know what he is talking about, and decided now would be a good time to defuse it, "He's telling you all the truth, the part of ninja life that your parents nor the council want you to find out." Iruka said, getting everybody's attention, "Whatever your thoughts are when it comes to ninja, from saving a princess or being saved by your so called prince, those kind of thoughts ends up getting killed, or sometimes with the kunoichi, they become broken in more ways than one because their hero never saved them from the bad parts of life."
"And some of those girls who do get saved, it's usually by the one they abuse, and they push them away without a thank you, basically, to the point where by the time they open their eyes to the difference between a schoolgirl crush and actual love, the person they pushed away is either gone as in dead, or they moved on to find a girl that is willing to give him a chance. Just ask my friends Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka." Naruto said, before throwing in the final part, since he already told them about how most people in the village, Civilian Council included, tended to see ninjas as both servants and disposable tools to do their biddings, which is what lead to the insults, "So here is a little advice for all of you, those of you on top, if you don't want the same wakeup call my friends Sasuke Uchiha and Neji Hyuga did when they found out the hard way that being Rookie of the Year and from a 'prestigious' clan doesn't mean squat, especially if expecting to be treated like royalty, only to find out that there are better opponents out there who would be more than glad to give them a more permanent end, especially since they let the title prodigy go to their heads, although in Sasuke's case, that was due to his inflating ego thanks to most of the village sucking up to him and the Council doing everything they can to make him seem like some kind of god. Don't let rank go to your head and don't be afraid to help those that could use it, because chances are, down the road, you might end up switching positions to where those at the bottom come out on top and those at the top end up at the bottom, sometimes six feet under. The same can be said about the rest of you, don't be afraid to help each other out whenever somebody needs it, especially if the teachers are willing to turn a blind eye because they gave up on you or are too afraid of being accused of playing favorites, especially if you're at the bottom of the class."
Iruka couldn't help but flinch at that last part, especially when he heard Naruto say under his breath, 'even though they seem to do so anyway,' under his breath. He can recall all of the times he used that 'he can't play favorites' card in order to avoid helping Naruto fix his flaws, even though he was playing the fool to keep certain people from calling for his head, the blonde could tell how empty words were, especially considering how he helped everybody else that asked for it. Before the Third explained about the Naruto behind the mask, which Iruka seen when watching Naruto perform jutsu like a pro, he could see Naruto that pretty much called him a bigoted hypocrite, something that hurts because even though he was 'persuaded' by both the dean and the council to make sure the boy couldn't get any stronger, meaning that he would be fired not just as a teacher, but also as a ninja altogether, and executed for high treason, something that Hiruzen gladly overridden. By then, it was a bit too late to where Naruto acknowledges him as a good friend, but as a teacher, he lost that right when Naruto stopped asking for any kind of help with the classes, even though he was the true prodigy. Now, thanks to Sakura and Tsunade, the academy is about to go through a massive overhaul, with an investigation being the start of it.
What Naruto said next snapped him out of it, "And before anybody brings up my class ranking, that was more due to outside interference then my actual performance," Now he really got the kids attention, "By now, everybody knows the whole story about my father and the kyubi right?" When he got a few nods, "And pretty sure everybody has heard how I was treated before I became a chunin?" Again a set of nods, "Well, the truth to why I was the dead last was because I purposely played the fool, just so I can make it through the academy alive." This definitely got their attention now, "In a village that sees you more as a demon then a child carrying one, and would rather see you gone by any means necessary, one thing you need to do is outsmart them without fighting back, because that just gives certain members of the council an excuse to override the Hokage, and I couldn't show that I'm better than the person at the top of the class because said individuals would say that the demon was getting stronger and demand my head on a silver platter, or the elders would demand I ben turned into a weapon. Even when I tried to keep my points up enough to pass on, most of the teachers would sabotage me so that way I could never graduate, and still be under the thumb of those who made my life a living hell. It wasn't until when the finals for the Chunin Exams started that I decided to show the village that enough is enough and I'm not going to take any more of their garbage just because they refuse to let go of the past and see what was really in front of them." When he finished, the final bell rang, and the kids started to leave, with a lot on their mind.
When it became just two, Iruka decided to get what he wanted to say off his chest. "Naruto, I want to apologize for not being the teacher you needed when you needed help." He said, causing the young Namikaze to give a small sigh, "I know I should have done more but . . ."
"Save the apologies already." Naruto said, interrupting his former teacher, one thing he is definitely of hearing are people apologizing for what happened in the past, which jumped when he returned from his training trip. While about a third of the people that told him were being honest, from his friends to some businesses that proved to be honest when told who was twisting their arms on who not to do business with, along with a few sympathy apologies from the people who opened up shop, but aren't originally from Konoha, the rest were lying through their teeth, from either trying to improve their image with his business to their stores to even offering their own daughters, no matter what their age, just so they can gain access to what his parents left him. "All the woulda, shoulda, coulda's in the past isn't going to fix anything, the only thing you can do is learn from it and do what you can to prevent it from repeating," He then started to head towards the exit, "Never give up on anyone , especially those who are having a harsh life, and don't be afraid to knock the kids with their noses in the air down to the last peg in order to wake them up to the reality of ninja life, make sure they are never anything like my graduating years, or any other bad ones ever again." When he started to leave, he decided to have a little fun at his teacher's expense, "I'd say put them over your knee and spank the hell out of their ass, but I don't think you want to risk giving Hana competition from a bunch of academy girls."
When the door closed, the only thing in the room was a red Iruka, redder then the hair of an Uzumaki.
End Flashback
And that was about a couple hours ago, while Iruka didn't like to be reminded on how, in Inuzuka clan terms, he got his bitch, he took what Naruto said to heart and decided to work towards the future instead of focusing too much on the past. One of those things is joining Kakashi and a number of other shinobi who wish to file a complaint and press charges against the Civilian Council, along with the Elders, for what they did at the academy. So he decided to step out the door and make his way towards the tower.
Meanwhile with Naruto, while he was walking towards no place in particular, having a chat with the Kyubi at the same time, who had a couple of things that he needed to tell Naruto, "Okay Kyubi, what do you need to tell me?" He asked.
"Well, Kit, just to let you know, both topics won't have any relation to the other, but first of all, it's about your eyes." Kyubi answered. Sensing an eyebrow being raised, "Basically, if my guess is right, you'll be gaining the Rinne-Sharingan."
"So wait, you're saying my eyes would be a supped up version of the Sharingan?" The blonde Namikaze asked in his head.
"More like the prototype version of the Sharingan that formed from the Rinnegan when the Sage sealed the tree inside of him." Kyubi said, "Although not sure what they can do together since my only experience was dealing with the Uchiha and every level of the Sharingan."
"So basically when I gain the other part, it'll be more like trial and error." Naruto said, "What else is new about my life?"
"How about the fact that thanks to the full moon tonight, there is one instinct that you can no longer ignore." Kyubi answered.
"And what instinct is that?" Naruto asked, not liking where this was going.
"Mating season." Kyubi answered, causing Naruto to stop, and go red in the face, not realizing the answer was making itself known.
Sakura was just getting off of her shift at the hospital, which included a checkup of the orphans, while also getting to know the new matriarch since the last one was arrested for charges of child abuse, stealing, mostly things that happened to Naruto, neglect and disappearance of a few unaccounted for orphans, which were later revealed that a few died or were given to Danzo for his Foundation army, charges that came to light after the incident in the chambers, when Jiraiya decided to start pressing them because the toys that were sent to Naruto, with his name written right on them, were given to the kids, with the matriarch claiming they were donated, along with the money he sent to Naruto, only to be put into her own personal account. While the current one, after hearing the whole story, was planning on replacing the toys that were originally supposed to go to Naruto, along with the money, Sakura stopped her and told her Naruto would never demand such a thing, especially if it effects the innocent that would be caught in the crossfire of political backlash, which in this case, would be the young children still waiting for somebody to adopt and love them.
Right now, she was wondering around, letting her feet guide her, when she noticed Naruto standing in the middle of nowhere, with a look on his face that said that something perverted entered his mind, and Kyubi has something to do with it, considering he looked a bit afraid instead of happy. A look she gets herself whenever dealing with her Inner, from telling her to hurry up and seal the deal with Naruto, which she resisted just to respect Naruto's pace towards a romantic relationship, to reminding her that her being a fan girl made her just as perverted as the masked Naruto, which she denied at first, until Inner Sakura brought up her dreams of becoming Sasuke's wife and starting his family, what was required to expand the family. That not only shut her up, but also made her admit that maybe she is a pervert, but she would never say that in front of Jiraiya, who would try to take advantage of that. So deciding to be a friend, she walked up to him to see what's wrong, while Inner Sakura decided to try and see if she can help her host get the most out of the boy, sensually.
When she reached him, Sakura placed her hand on her shoulder, "Naruto, are you okay?" She asked, with concern, not realizing the scent she is giving off down below.
After feeling the hand that caused him to flinch a bit, along with the voice of the person he didn't want to get involved in this matter, at least not entirely, he turned around to see his pink haired friend looking at him with a small smile and a concerned look on her face. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for his nose picking up a scent that is having an effect on him. While he could play off the last part Kurama has told him about as nothing, but he and Sakura promised each other that they would no longer walk on egg shells when it came to each other, or would they try to hide something from each other, even if it concerns themselves or the other, and the one thing Naruto as both a Namikaze and Uzumaki takes seriously is keeping their word.
Giving a small sigh, Naruto made sure to lead Sakura to a private place, away from wandering ears, especially Ino and her fellow gossipmongers, or a certain perv looking to add to his books. When he felt safe, Naruto decided to tell Sakura the truth, and prepared himself for whatever beating he deserves. "Kyubi told me a couple of things: One is that my eyes would be gaining something extra," Giving another sigh, "And remember how I gained some things from Kyubi, physically and mentally?" When he got a nod in return, "Well, there is one instinct that I've been avoiding for so long, but now, it might break out and force me into hiding because it's something that requires a partner, a female partner." He explained, while trying to avoid using the term.
Sakura was starting to blush, having a good idea what those instincts were, considering how her respect for Naruto grew when he didn't start to take after his sensei's little hobby, while also having a good idea why he hesitant about saying it considering how she overreacted to things that weren't. "And what would that instinct be?" She asked, causing both to blush more.
Naruto leaned closely to her ear and whispered two words into her ear, "Mating season." He said, before straightening out, causing the girl to become just as red as Kushina's hair, and without thinking, the next words shot out of his mouth, "And the smell you're giving off isn't helping matters for me."
Sakura gave him a curious look, still a little red in the face, and was about ask what smell until she felt a familiar heat in her belly, the one that causes sleepless nights, and blush return tenfold after realizing what smell she was giving off. Knowing which part of her was really responsible, but this time, couldn't help but to think maybe this time she should consider giving into her feelings, especially, in her case anyway, if it's for a worthy cause.
Yet right now, Naruto continued to speak, "So I'm going to ask the Hokage some time off so that . . ." He said, until a finger appeared on his lip.
Sakura gave him a sincere smile, with a touch of something else, "No Naruto, I'll ask Lady Tsunade to give me the day off from the hospital tomorrow so I can help you with your itch." She said, the blush on both faces getting close to glowing, knowing what he would say, "And yes, I do want to do this, give up a piece of myself just to help you overcome your obstacles."
Knowing that Sakura could be as hard headed as him, and with Kurama telling him the things he needs to say, "Might want to ask for about a week, along with a Birth Control Jutsu to last just as long." He said, causing her to almost faint from the thoughts alone, "Because as much as I would love to have a child or two with you, I'm in no rush to have one, and with Akatsuki acting out, wouldn't want to give them anymore targets."
This made Sakura fumbling for words, so all she could do is nod, and got ready to head towards the Hokage Tower, yet she was able to say "Naruto, while I'm doing something big for you, I only ask that we at least enjoy dinner together before pursing any strenuous activities." She said, with a smile.
Naruto gave her a big smile, one she knew that was really him, "Don't worry, I'll have everything ready at my place by the time you get there." He said, causing Sakura's smile to become as big as his, with a touch of gratitude, "Including the hot spring." He added being flashing out of there.
Sakura would have tried to punch his lights out at that last comment, yet at the same time, makes her glad because it means she wouldn't have to worry about a certain, perverted author, trying to use her for material. Now deciding that it would be time to talk to Tsunade before she gets drunk, the pinkette headed off towards said destination.
Hokage Tower
After reaching the office in a short amount of time, due to the excitement building up all over her body, and with Shizune telling her that Tsunade is sober and in a good mood, Sakura took a deep breath and knocked on the door, receiving a 'enter' as a response from her sensei. Entering the office, Tsunade was doing some personal projects that she wanted to get off the ground, but was too busy to do so, like cleaning up the mess that Hiruzen wasn't able to do before he was killed. Looking up, the elder blonde noticed her apprentice, "Ah, Sakura, what can I help you with?" She asked, although she noticed that her student had a look that said that she was anxious for whatever is about to happen really soon, something life changing obviously.
Taking a deep breath, and hoping Tsunade would follow her request, while also trying not to get too much info like that one aunt who just loves to put their nieces on the spot. "I would like to request a week off starting tonight." Sakura requested with a small bow, causing the kage to raise an eyebrow, knowing that there was more to this, "Mainly, it's to help Naruto with a personal problem."
This definitely got Tsunade's attention, "What kind of problem?" She asked, "And why does it involve just you and him?" Causing the pinkette to blush up a storm. While the blonde had a good idea that it involved the pair getting at their closest at a very intimate level, she still had to hear enough of it in order to allow it. Sure she could have allowed it right away, but where's the fun in that if she can't put her loved ones on the spot every chance she gets.
Knowing that her sensei can keep a secret, yet at the same time, probably demand details the next day on her activities, Sakura answered, "Well, thanks to having a fox trapped inside him for most of his life, he is about to go through mating seasons and I . . ."
"Personally offered your services to help cool him down, while he does the same for you." Tsunade finished with her own twist, catching the girl embarrassingly off guard at how she got it right on the spot, "What you don't think all these years of being a medic that I wouldn't notice one of my own students showing signs being extremely horny?"
Sakura gave a slight squeak at this, while her entire body was glowing red, while her sensei was giving off a small laugh, "Yes, well, not only am I requesting time off, but also seeing if I can have a birth control jutsu to last just as long." She said, causing Tsunade to give her a curious, "It's so that I don't become pregnant, and I think Naruto doesn't want to give the Akatsuki something to use against him."
"While also making sure history doesn't repeat itself, I don't blame him for that." Tsunade said, understanding the full reason behind that, along with Sakura, realizing that Naruto doesn't want a repeat of why he never had his birth parents around to protect him from the true cruelty of the village, making them feel sad about what Naruto had missed out on because of one event, "Anyway, I'll give you two weeks off to help 'cure' the brat of his 'illness.'" Tsunade said, getting out of the depressing mood.
Sakura's blush came back full force, yet she had enough brain power to ask "Why two weeks? Wouldn't that be a bit too much?" She asked.
Knowing that Naruto never told her, and Sakura never looked it up, about something else that made the Uzumaki Clan unique, "Sakura, remember when Naruto explain what made the Uzumaki Clan so special?" Tsunade asked, getting a small nod, "Well Naruto left out a part, one that he probably didn't want to get headaches on."
This got Sakura curious, "And what would that be?" She asked.
Tsunade had an evil grin on her face, "Remember how Naruto can train nearly nonstop?" She asked, getting a nod from the girl, who wasn't getting the point, "That's what the Uzumaki Clan is known for, their nearly endless stamina, especially when it comes to rumbles in the sack, which I would know considering all the times Minato looked like he was going to drop dead after trying to keep up with Kushina," Now Sakura was definitely blushing up a storm from head to toe, her long hair included, "And if you were to add Kyubi into the factor, then he would *THUD!*" She was interrupted when Sakura fainted from information overload and fainted in a way that would compete with Hinata's. She couldn't help but laugh, at least she until she heard a loud crash outside, and knew that her teammate overheard enough to picture the possibilities for his books.
After waiting a few minutes, Sakura finally started to recover, "I'm sorry Sensei, I just" She started to apologize, only for Tsunade to raise a hand to stop her.
"No apology needed Sakura, I did pretty much knock you out through your hormones." Tsunade said, this time, Sakura gave a lighter, "Anyway, I'll help you out on both requests, yet the reason why I gave you the two weeks is because you'll need the recovery time, especially if you end up doing a few encore performances, and the I give you will last just as long, considering you'll be too exhaust to reapply the regular one and most of your healing chakra will be needed elsewhere," Giving the Hokage a grateful nod, they got started on it right away, so that Sakura would have enough time to get ready for everything.
Namikaze Compound-dusk
Sakura is walking up to Naruto's place just as the sun was going down onto the horizon, wearing a simple, but provocative red evening gown. While it's called the Namikaze Compound, but only by name, the place itself was between the Clan District and Ninja District, and all it was just your basic two story house, with a few extras, like seals to keep the unwanted element, like seals that kept most of the village hoping to gain souvenirs after Minato's death, plus a few pleasantries like a personal hot spring and pool, and things to keep an entire family happy.
After getting past the gate, that Naruto made sure only a very select few can do, Sakura gave a small knock on the door, and waiting about a minute before Naruto answered in a lightly casual suit. Giving each other the once over, Naruto gave Sakura a smile while letting her in, which she gladly returned the smile on. After the door closed, barely two hours later, a loud noise came from the bedroom, one really loud moaning that lasted throughout the night, and one really sad super pervert was outside the fence, crying up a storm because his student was able to finish the anti-pervert seals that his father started, meaning no 'Icha Icha: Fox and the Medic' to be written anytime soon.
Well, here is the latest chapter; sorry it took so long, just contemplating life a bit. Sorry for doing a bit of leap on the NaruSaku coupling, but wasn't sure how to pull off them getting together or how long I make them wait, so I just went with an approach that was supposed to happen later, but decided to get it done earlier. Anyway, sorry about the rant earlier, just that the final part of the series looked like a rush job, like trying too not to go over the limit. So anyway, could use some coupling ideas, along with scenario suggestions involving the rest of Naruto's friends you would like to see, minus anything involving lemons, also quick question for the Naruto fans, but what comes after the second attempt to bring back Sasuke? Since in this fic, Sasuke never left, and Naruto already killed Orochimaru, so right now, just stomped what happens afterwards, especially with the minor stuff. And to let everyone know the story stays as is, especially the main coupling, meaning this fic will stay a NaruSaku, so anybody who doesn't like the couple, then tough, you know how to exit. Read and Review, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
