• Chapter 1
    “Stupid Sasuke.” I said to myself. “Why would he have a movie party?! I mean emo boy will just watch a stupid emo movie. At least Naruto will be there.” I blushed at saying Naruto’s name. I liked him more than anything. He was on my team. Only my team knew I was two people. Well most of them. Sasuke wasn’t there when I explained it.
    First I was ordinary Alaina-Chan. The only thing wrong with me was I had a tail and cat ears. Second I was Michi-chan protector of the village. Sasuke didn’t like Alaina-Chan he liked Michi-chan. Stupid Sasuke.
    I was at Sasuke’s house. I knocked. Sasuke opened the door (thinking I was Michi.) he looked disappointed.
    “Hello Alaina-Chan come in. Do you know when, um….. Michi-chan is coming?” he tried not to be eager.
    “Sorry I won’t be able to stay long and Michi will be very late.” I flick my tail and walked away. I searched the room for Naruto. When he saw me he yelled.
    “Alaina-chan over here!” he looked happy to see me. He had a goofy look on his face. I ran over to where he sat. Yet in the process I tripped and fell in his lap. Ino, Sakura, Sasuke, and surprisingly Gaara laughed at me. I blushed madly and off him quickly. Naruto blushed and looked away. Sasuke then started the movie. Half way into the movie I told Naruto I’d be right back as Michi. So I got up and went out the door. I went to the nearest tree turned into Michi. I then ran back to Sasuke’s door and was about to knock when Sasuke grabbed my shoulder. I about screamed, but that’s not what Michi would do. I turned around and gave him a glare.
    “I saw Alaina-chan leave and came out to see what was wrong.” Sasuke explained.
    “Did you follow her?” I asked.
    “No I found you instead.” Sasuke replied.
    “Should we go in now?” I asked after a few awkward minutes.
    “Yeah.” He replied. We went inside. I sat next to Naruto. Then Sasuke took his pillow and sat next to me. Ino and Sakura glared at me. I shrugged and watched the rest of the movie. When the movie was over we all found a place to sleep. There were three rocking chairs, two couches and a lot of carpet. Naruto and I found a nice place by one of the rocking chairs.
    Sasuke was in the rocking chair we were by. He didn’t want Ino and Sakura harassing him. So we left him alone. In the middle of the night I had to use the bathroom. I unwillingly got up and headed to the bathroom. Half way there I felt someone following me. I turned around extremely fast to find a surprised Sasuke.
    “Are you my stalker or something?” I asked calmly.
    “No I just wanted to ask you, are you really Alaina and Michi-chan?” he asked.
    “You did follow me!” I screamed. “I should have known! Why would you do that?! You have gone too far!” I angrily pointed and yelled.
    “Calm down there is people sleeping. Yes I followed you, but you looked suspicious and you’re always sneaking off and right after Michi comes.” Sasuke explained.
    I glared and turned and walked towards the bathroom again. Sasuke grabbed my hand.
    “Look I’m sorry. I’ve always liked you and wanted to be more than friends but I couldn’t do that ………….. yet.” He growled.
    I took my hand back and ran to the bathroom. I was so mad. Just by telling me he liked me he thought I‘d melt in his hands, yeah right. I finished in the bathroom and went back to the living room. Sasuke following me. Most likely thinking I was going to say I liked him back. Idiot. I lay next to Naruto. I fell asleep quickly. In the morning Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, Shika and I were the first up which meant we had to make breakfast. Sasuke got out a waffle iron. Naruto and I got the eggs and flour. Hinata and Shika got the rest. Hinata and I mixed the ingredients. We laughed and talked, the boys complained that we were taking to long. I told them the mixture of batter. They began to make the waffles.
    “So um, Michi-chan what do you have in mind for today?” Naruto asked.
    “Well I was hoping to do some training maybe if one of you wants to spar. Then I need to go grocery shopping. Hinata what about you?” I replied.
    “I-I thought I c-could g-go shopping w-with you Michi-chan. Shika w-what about y-you?” Poor Hinta she was always nervous.
    “I think it’s none of your business.” Shika replied.
    “I’ll spar with ya Michi-chan! Believe it!” Naruto excitedly yelled.
    “Calm down Naruto. Sheesh. What is your problem it’s only Michi.” Sasuke taunted.
    “Oh really? You know that I know about your secret about………..” Naruto was interrupted by Sasuke punching him in the nose.
    “Naruto!” Hinata and I shouted together.
    “Sasuke you jerk!” I yelled and got a paper towel for Naruto.
    “Fan girl.” Sasuke said haughtily.
    “Whatever Sasuke-kun you’re just jealous” I shouted.
    Sasuke looked at me surprised then looked away.
    ~Sasuke Proverb~
    I messed up again. She’ll never like me if I keep this up. What’s wrong with me? End Proverb.
    “Jeez. Sasuke got you good. You know what I’ll get you a towel. Sasuke will you tell me where I could get a rag?” I was still mad but Naruto was bleeding really badly.
    “Under the sink in the bathroom.” Sasuke replied.
    “I’ll g-go get o-one.” Hinata said walking towards the bathroom.
    “AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHh! SPIDER!” Sakura screamed. “Sasuke HELP!!!!!!”
    “You heard her Sasuke go help Sakura.” Shika smirked. While Naruto and I laughed. As Sasuke left Hinata walked in.
    “H-here Naruto” Hinata said handing him the rag.
    “Dang Sasuke! I’ll get him back! Believe it!” Naruto yelled.
    “You go Naruto!” I replied. Hinata giggled and Shika grumbled.
    “Sasuke my hero!” (Kisses Sasuke on lips.)
    “Ew! Sakura!” Sasuke complained. Then everyone laughed. Naruto and I had a giggle fit.
    Sasuke stomped into the kitchen with Ino and Sakura behind him fighting over who should have kissed Sasuke. This made Naruto and me laugh harder. Sasuke glared at us.
    After everyone woke up we ate. Ino and Sakura still fighting across the table and to the left. Gaara right across from me, Shika next to Gaara. Hinta to my left and before Naruto could sit to my right Sasuke sat there.
    “Hey I was going to sit there Sasuke!” Naruto yelled.
    “My house I can sit where I want.” Sasuke pointed out. Poor Naruto walked and sat by Hinta.
    “Hey Naruto after we spar want to get some ramen? I’ll pay!” I was trying to cheer him up. It worked.
    “Thanks Michi-chan!” Naruto exclaimed. I giggled. He was so cute when n he smiled his goofy smile. I blushed a little thinking about it.
    “Hinata when do you want to go shopping?” I asked.
    “Well I-I the-think s-sometime after l-lunch would be good.” Hinata replied. I liked Hinata. She was so quiet and was good at listening to problems. She was one of my best friends.
    When I was done eating I washed my dishes and said good bye to everyone. I had to see if anything bad happened last night. I grabbed my pillow and ran to the door. Sasuke almost grabbed me, but I accidentally slammed the door in his face and was gone. I checked every part of the village until I smelled blood. I went to the nearest ally. Sure enough there laid a body in a puddle of blood. I was unable to tell who it was. It was so badly battered.
    “Why do I put up with this?” I asked myself. I taped the area and went to the Hokage. She was in charge of the village.
    I explained what I had seen. She told me this was very bad and she’d look into it.
    “Don’t tell anyone about this.” She told me. I was scared it would happen again. I walked half a block to my house. I put on my training close and went to the nearest training field. I began my training. Punch, punch, kick. Punch, punch, kick.
    “Michi! Ready to spar?” I turned he smiled.
    “I ready, ready to kick your but!” I exclaimed.
    “I’ll beat you! Believe it!” Naruto replied.
    I kicked, he dodged. He punched I kicked. We were both thrown back by the impact. I got up and used my genjusu. I ran towards Naruto who was just getting up. I punched as hard as I could. He yelped from the punch. I landed behind him. He took his chance and hit so hard I was thrown in to the nearest tree. BAM! CRASH!
    “OW!” I grumbled in pain, trying to get up. The tree almost fell on me when someone picked me up and carried me seven feet from the tree. I opened my eyes to see who was holding me.
    “Sasuke put me down! Right now, it seems to be you’re my stalker explain yourself.” I demanded. I was getting really mad. He was getting on my nerves.
    “Naruto wanted me to watch you guys spar.” Sasuke explained.
    “Is this true?” I asked.
    “Well, uh yeah heh heh.” Naruto replied with his goofy smile. Dang my only weakness. I could melt in Naruto’s hands. I blushed. Do I blush every time I think of Naruto? I have issues.
    “Why are you blushing?” Naruto asked.
    “Well…..uh……um, bye!” I struggled to get free. It wasn’t working to well.
    “Let go!” I continued to struggle. “I said let go!” I screamed. I punched Sasuke in the face without thinking. His arms loosened enough for me to grab Naruto’s hand and run. In a few seconds we were at Naruto’s favorite place to eat.
    “Can we eat?” Naruto asked.
    “Sure we can” I replied through gasps of breathe.
    “Great!” He took my hand and walked in. We sat back corner. We talked, laughed and of course ate.
    “Why were you blushing at the training field?” He asked.
    “I’m not ready to tell you.” I replied. I wasn’t ready AT ALL to tell him I loved him. Too early and I had a job to do. I can’t believe I’m saying but like Sasuke I couldn’t love until it was done. Except Sasuke was crazy.
    “I need to go get Hinata for shopping! Bye Naruto!” I gave him a hug and paid. I left before he could reply. I knocked on the door. Hinata answered.
    “H-hi M-Michi! I’ll g-go get m-my p-purse.” She let me in and went up the stairs. I walked in and sat down in a chair on the left wall. I looked around the room. To my left was a small table. It had vase with gorgeous flowers. There were red and white roses, bright yellow daffodils, blue bells and purple daisies. Next to the table was a chair just like the one I was sitting on. Then there was the next wall. There was a fire place. On the mantle was a few family pictures and another vase filled with white roses. Then the stair case and next to that was a couch.
    “You r-ready?” Hinata asked.
    “Yes I am. Lets go have some fun!” I replied. Hinata and I walked to the door. We walked out the door. We walked and talked. We soon passed the pond. It was so pretty. Especially at night when there weren’t any clouds and the moon light hit the water. Breathe taking. BAM! SPLASH!
    “Who the…… Naruto?” I was really confused. “What’s going on?”
    “So you get mad me for saving you but Nat at Naruto for falling on you?” Sasuke growled. He sounded jealous. Ha ha! This was so funny. Sasuke was jealous of the blond, spiky haired kid! Ha ha! How could you not laugh?
    “You’re jealous of Naruto?” I laughed “You are INSANE!” I was making things worse but, it just couldn’t be left alone. Sasuke, full of himself Sasuke was jealous of Naruto! This is when I noticed I was soaking wet.
    “Hinata could you help me up?” I asked. Hinata put out her hand. I took a hand. It wasn’t Hinata’s hand I can tell you that. I was pulled up and embraced.
    “You’re cold. Let’s get you home.” Sasuke said hugging me closer.
    “First DUH I’m cold. Second I’m not letting YOU take ME home.” I was so going to kill Sasuke! I pushed away from him. I flushed, I started walking. I began to shiver. I collapsed and I tried to sand up but, I couldn’t I was shaking too hard. I was picked up. I knew it was Naruto because I felt his wet hands.
    “N-Naruto…..” I tried to say more but, I blacked.
    ~ ~
    “Michi-chan? Michi-chan are you awake?” I heard Naruto ask. I was barely awake but awake.
    “Yes. Naruto is anyone else here?” I whispered. My eyes weren’t open yet.
    “Yeah. Hinata, Sasuke, Gaara, Neji, and Ino. Gaara saw us running and wanted to know what was wrong. Neji also saw us running and wanted to know what happened. Ino was at your door going to ask you for advice.” Naruto explained. That’s when I noticed I was still shaking. I also wondered what time it was.
    “Naruto what time is it?” I whispered. I hoped it hadn’t been to long.
    “Let’s see. It’s five-thirty. Are you hungry I could get you something?”
    “Thanks but no thanks. You can get Ino to ask me for advice though.” I replied.
    “I’ll be right back.” Naruto stood up and left. I knew he left because I heard the door close. Then I heard talking outside of my bedroom door. I opened my eyes I was in my room. I sat up to see Ino opening the door.
    “Michi? Um…… this is really hard to ask. Do you know how to make someone love you?” Ino nervously asked.
    “No, I can’t say I can, but I do know that if you’re you, the right guy will come willingly.” I replied.
    “What if you just want this one guy to go out with you once? You know to see what he’s like. Yet the guy barely knows you exist.” Ino asked.
    “Ino I don’t have all the answers. Alright?” Jeez this girl had a lot of questions. Did she ever run out of questions? I swear she came to me every other day. Oh well I’ll survive. Hey I stopped shaking! I’m still cold. Dang
    “Ino will you tell the others they can come and see me?” I wanted everyone to see for themselves I was okay.
    “Alright I’ll be right back.” Ino looked at me like I was asking for the world. Ino left the room. I looked to see what I was wearing. I was in my pajamas. Most likely Ino or Hinta did it. I looked at the door. I wondered if anyone would come in. I heard……..
    “I’m not sure she’s ready!” I heard a gruff voice. That must be Sasuke.
    “She told me that herself.” That was Ino she would never yell at Sasuke.
    “Sasuke if you don’t want to go in you have to but I’m going in.” that was Naruto. This was getting out of hand. I sighed. Why? Why me? Why did I have to be so popular? I didn’t like it. I got out of bed. Put on shirt on over my tank top pajama top. I walked to the door. I was afraid of what I’d find. I opened the door. I saw Ino holding Naruto and Sasuke apart. Gaara in the far corner. Neji and Hinata starring at Naruto and Sasuke.
    “What does it take to keep you two from fighting?” Everyone looked at me even Gaara. “What?” I asked. Was it something I said?
    “Hiya Michi!” Naruto replied looking away from Sasuke. Ino then fell over from to press the two of them apart. “Oops! Sorry Ino.” Naruto apologized. Ino stood up and glared at Naruto. Sigh. Again WHY?
    “Well who wants dinner?” I asked. Gaara then left. He isolated himself to much. He’d come around.
    “I’ll help Michi-chan! Believe it!” Naruto exclaimed. He had his goofy smile. Don’t blush, don’t blush. I then tinted pink. Dang!
    “Well what do you want?” I asked.
    “Do you have lasagna?” Ino asked.
    “Yeah! I’ll go put it in the oven.” I took Naruto’s hand and headed to the kitchen. I got the lasagna out of the freezer. I read the instructions out loud.
    “Pre-heat oven for ten minutes at one hundred degree’s.” Naruto walked over to the oven and turned it on. “Well anything you want to know?” I asked. Stupid question!!!! I mentally slapped myself for that one.
    “Are you ready to tell me why you were blushing at the training field today?” Naruto asked. I wanted to bang my head against a wall.
    “Nope.” I replied.
    “Please!” He begged.
    “I will tell you but not yet.” I smirked. I wanted to tell him so bad. There was no way. I felt bad. Why? I always end up in a situation I don’t like.
    “Hey three more minutes.” Naruto said excitedly. “I also have an idea. We should put something spicy in Sasuke’s food.” He smiled evilly.
    “Naruto I have hot sauce or chili powder.” I smirked.
    “Hot sauce. This is gonna be good.” Naruto laughed. After making the food and adding a special ingreeedent to Sasuke’s food. Naruto and I handed out the food.
    “Here you go Neji, Hinata.” I gave them their food. Neji’s hand touched mine. I blushed. No! No! No! I can’t like two boys can I? I turned around to see Sasuke taking the first bite of his food. His eyes started to water. He jumped up and ran to the kitchen. Naruto and I burst in to laughter. Everyone looked at us. They already had some of their food so they knew it was only Sasuke’s food was spicy. Ino gave us a glare and went in after Sasuke. I fell on the floor laughing. Naruto Joined me. Neji chuckled. Hinata giggled.
    After eating everyone left and I went to bed. The next morning I thought I like Neji and Naruto. Can’t a girl make- up her mind? I looked in my drawer, only my blue shirt. It was my favorite shirt; it said R.O.T.F.L (rolling on the floor laughing). I also had a pair of jeans. I got dressed and filled my laundry bag with laundry. I walked to laundry mat. I dug into my pocket. I turned on my i-pod. I listened to Sakura kiss. I began my laundry.
    “Kizukeba istodemo.” I sang. I felt a tap on my shoulder.
    “I like your singing.” Sasuke complimented. I turned to look at him. He was smiling, not smirking, SMILING! He never smiled. I must have made a weird face because he said……
    “What”
    “Your smiling I-but, huh?” I was so confused. Sasuke’s smile turned into a smirk. There goes something I might have liked. He is so weird.
    “You my friend are strange.” Sasuke smirked. I made a gagging face. “What’s wrong Alaina?” Sasuke asked.
    “Ego to big can’t hold down breakfast.” I giggled. Moron fell for it.
    “Oh I get it. You’re playing hard to get.” Sasuke chuckled. I was taken aback. He was kidding right. What the crap? He’s giving me that look. I won’t fall for that two faced, black haired, moron. Is he getting closer? I stepped back, falling over my bag.
    “Yeow!” I yelped. Being half cat didn’t help with my clumsiness. Sasuke helped me up. At the moment I was standing, his cold lips hit mine. I flushed. What was he doing? I was saving my first kiss for Naruto! I pushed away and looked at his smirking face. I was so mad. I scowled and my hand went flying until it hit his nose. I went back to my laundry. I hoped he got a bloody nose. I turned up my i-pod.
    “Autabi shichihenge kakugo asobe.” I sang. I loved to sing. If I heard a song I knew the lyrics to I sang. I couldn’t help it. I rarely sang in front of people though. I folded the last shirt. I put everything in my bag and was out the door. I restarted Sakura kiss. “Kiss, kiss fall in love.” I sang.
    I walked into my house and began to sort the laundry. When I finished my laundry I turned my i-pod of and put it in its drawer as well. I picked up my purse and headed out the door. I was going to the super market. I went over the list in my head. Milk, Ramen, fruit and some sort of snack. I walked into the store. I went down the dairy isle. Milk check. I put milk in the basket. I then went down the soup isle. Ramen check , I put the ramen in the basket. The snack isle was next so I went there. I walked down the isle until I saw trail mix. Yum! I reached for a bag. Another person also reached for the same bag so our hands touched. I don’t know why but I blushed. I glanced up to see who it was. I looked into his sea green eyes.
    “Hello Gaara. You like trail mix too?” I was friends with him. We had walks and talked. Gaara moved his hand from mine.
    “Yes it’s my favorite.” Gaara as usual sounded bored.
    “Really?! It’s mine too!” I picked up the bag and handed it to him. I smiled. He excepted the bag and slightly smiled. I liked it when he smiled. Oh no. I did not like Gaara did I? What’s what’s wrong with me?! Who next? Sasuke? Thinking of his name made me want to gag. No wait Gaara’s right in front of me.
    “Well see ya later!” I started to walk away.
    “Don’t you want a bag?” Gaara asked.
    “Oh yeah! Sorry I do that a lot.” I walked back to Gaara who handed me a bag. “Thank you Gaara. You’re very kind when you want to be.” I started to walk away.
    “Thank you Alaina.” Gaara whispered.
    “Your welcome!” I was so embarrassed. I walked to the fruit isle. Let’s see. Raspberries, strawberries, bananas, pineapples and blueberries. Hmm, Raspberries and strawberries, snacks and fruit, check. I went to the check out stand. I paid and walked out of the store. I walked and bumped into some one.
    “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Excuse me.” I apologized. I looked up to see Neji.
    “Has destiny brought us to bump into each other?” Neji asked. Oh no, not another destiny speech. He was cute but, they drone on and on. You can get through another destiny speech Alaina. Then I remembered I Had to scout the village.
    “Blah, blah, blah, blah.” I was so glad I was drowning him out. I started to day dream. Sasuke kissing me was a nightmare. Then I changed Sasuke to Naruto much better.
    “What do you think Alaina?” Neji asked.
    “Sorry what was the question?” I asked.
    “What do you think of my speech?” He asked. Crap! I wasn’t listening! Say something nice.
    “Aaaahhh, um, It was great you just want to work on it make it the best it can be! I gotta go now Bye!” I walked away. That was close.

    Yes I like Naruto. 3nodding
