"Kakashi!" I called from in bed, which he had now left, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Why are you not here?"

I heard him chuckle from in the kitchen. "I'm making breakfast Yuuki. Just be a little patient."

"What if I don't want to be?" I asked

He strolled back into the room, carrying breakfast. "Then that's just too bad. You're going to have to wait anyway."

I raised an eyebrow. "That statement is going to bite you on the ass."

He sweat dropped. "And I think I know exactly how."

I winked. "Maybe if you do something sweet for your fiancé, she may reconsider."

He rolled his uncovered eye, before crawling back into bed and wrapping his arms around me. "I should come every time you call huh?"

I nodded, snuggling into his bare chest. While wearing his mask, he was still half naked, and I was only wearing one of his long shirts and underwear. "And I'll come every time you call. I promise."

Juro growled, before appearing

I sighed, not in the mood to move a single muscle "What is it Juro?"

"Someone's coming towards the house." He replied, stalking to the front door.

"Is it just me or is he getting meaner?" Kakashi asked very quietly.

"No. I've noticed it as well. I'm doing everything I can right now. Nothing's working."

"You don't think...."

"I bloody hope not." I replied quickly. Although the possibility of Kuro already having performed the Jutsu on Juro was increasing.

"He'll be fine."

"I know. But I suppose we had better get up."

"Oh, so now you want to get up?" He said sarcastically.

I giggled, slapping his chest. "I don't want to. But that doesn't mean I don't have to. Hey Juro, who's coming towards the door?" I asked.

"It's that Naruto. And his bastard of a demon Kurama." He snarled back.

Getting changed quickly, I growled. "I'm so over this shit from him."

"Yuuki, don't do anything stupid." Kakashi warned.

I marched over to where Juro was sitting near the door and grabbed him in a held lock. When he struggled, I tightened my grip.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Juro snapped his teeth at me.

"Now listen here you little asshole. I'm not going to put up with your bad attitude anymore. You either lighten up and get your fucking ten tailed demon ass into gear, or I will put you back in your cage. Am I understood?"

He growled.

I tightened my grip so I was choking him and roared "AM I UNDERSTOOD JURO?"

He winced from having my loud voice in his ear before reluctantly submitting, becoming still.

I let him go. "And don't think I was kidding."

Juro disappeared as Kakashi poked his head around the corner, looking a bit frightened. "Are you okay? I've never heard you yell before. Especially not like that."

I sighed. "No. But I'll be fine. I just need to write a letter to someone."

Opening the door, I saw a frozen Naruto.

"Hello." I greeted with a small smile.

"Hi Yuuki sensei!" He eventually replied, snapping out of his frozen state. "Grandma Tsunade wants to see you and Kakashi-sensei in her office!"

Kakashi came and stood beside me. "The both of us?"

"Yeah. I think she's got a mission for you. Geez, that Granny never gives you a break does she Yuuki-sensei?"

I laughed. "I suppose not. Okay Kakashi, shall we go?"

"Yeah."

"Naruto, are you coming too?"

In response, his stomach growled loudly and he gave a sheepish smile. "Nah. I think I'll go and eat some ramen."

I rolled my eyes. "Here." I placed some money in his hands. "I'll pay for you today. Enjoy."

"Woah! Thanks Sensei!" He ran off.

I grabbed Kakashis hand and we walked towards the Hokages office.

-

-

"Another mission?" I groaned, coming into the room.

"I'm sorry for keeping you both so busy, but yes. I need you both to lead an investigation." Tsunade crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair.

"An investigation?"

"That's right. Into Kuro."

"That group that got the copy of the scroll? Why? The last time you sent me on a mission that involved the scroll, you sent a huge team with me. Why should I believe you to act any different now?"

She narrowed her eyes at me, before sighing. "You both, Naruto, Sapphira, Shikamaru and Sakura are the only ones that may be able to pull this off without casualties on our side."

"So who're you putting on our team?"

She gave me a cautious glance. "All the names I just mentioned. You'll be a six man cell."

"No way." I objected. "There is no way in hell I am letting you put Naruto in that kind of situation. He can barely control Kurama as is!"

"Yuuki." Kakashi whispered in my ear.

"Don't argue with me today Kakashi." I hissed back.

"Your eyes Yuuki." He quickly said.

I blinked, realising that they had turned to the colour of Juros. "Shit." I placed my hand across my right eye. "Goddamn."

"Seems like you're starting to lose control . You do know what that means." Tsunade stated.

"I know. Just please, don't send Naruto, or Sakura for that matter, on this mission."

"Very well. Shikamaru and Sapphira will be waiting for you two at the gate. Leave immediately."

"Yes Milady." We chorused, bowing.

-

-

"So where exactly are we going?" Shikamaru asked, his hands linked behind his head.

"Just to the next town, hopefully. There's someone I know there that should have info on this group."

"Who is this person?" Kakashi asked.

Sapphira was smirking. "I know who she's talking about."

I laughed softly. "Drei Yuniki. You want to know anything on anyone, he's your guy."

"And how do you know him?" Shika asked.

"It's a reason Kakashi will hate him for." Sapphira winked. "You see, Drei is Yuukis Ex Boyfriend."

Kakashi tensed. "Huh?"

"Don't stress. I'm not interested in him." I chuckled. "Besides, he's no match for you." I added with a wink and a peck on the cheek.

"How far is the next town?" Shika asked, interrupting us.

I thought about it for a second. "Well, if we start running now, we should be there within ten minutes."

"Then can we get going? I want to scare the shit out of Drei." Sapphira shifted from foot to foot eagerly.

I sweat dropped. "Sure."

"Oh! Oh! Annnnnnd, you can have the pleasure of scaring him too Uchiha!" She cheered, throwing her hands into the air.

I shook my head. "You're so ridiculous."

She giggled. "Thank you!"

"Let's just get this over with." Shikamaru sighed, jumping to a tree and heading towards the next town.

-

-

Kakashi grabbed my waist as we stood at the towns gate.

"Names." A lazy guard said, leaning back in his chair and reading a newspaper, not even glancing at us.

I chuckled. "Three Jounin and a chunin from the Village Hidden in the Leaves."

That got him up quickly. "Sorry! Here's the visitors list."

Sapphira grabbed it and wrote her name down, as well as everyone else's. "Maybe you should pay more attention." She suggested, giving it back.

"I'll take note of that, thank you miss." He said with a bright smile. Glancing at our names, he murmured "Uchiha?" And his smile faded.

"We'll only be here for a few days. Thanks." I said.

"Oh, okay." He nodded.

-

-

"Geez, talk about rude!" Sapphira scoffed.

I rolled my eyes. "You aren't one to talk." I muttered.

"What was that?" She yelled

"Why did his smile fade after reading Uchiha?" Shika wondered out loud.

I gave a sad smile. "My family name isn't exactly known now for good reasons. Truth be told, I'm surprised he didn't arrest us on the spot."

Kakashis grip tightened. I noticed that he was being really quiet.

"Well there's Dreis house. Shall we drop by now?" Sapphira smirked.

"Yeah. The faster we get info, the faster we can leave."

-

I knocked on the door three times.

"I'm coming!" A deep voice called.

One of the best looking men I had ever seen opened the door, making my eyes widen slightly. Sapphira almost fainted.

"Can I help you?" He asked, staring at me.

"Do you know where the man who used to live here has now moved? His name is Drei. Drei Yuniki."

"What do you want with my brother?" His eyes narrowed.

He had a brother? "Information." I replied flatly.

"And why should I get him? Everyone who comes here wants information. Why would you be any different?"

"Just get him. Or else I'll place you both into custody." I threatened, over the tough act.

"DREI!" He yelled over his shoulder. "I'm Rin by the way."

I gave him a slight nod.

"What?" A familiar voice said, irritated. "Whose at the door?"

"Leaf Shinobi." Rin replied, moving out of the way. "They're coming for information."

"Who doesn't?" Drei growled, coming to the door and leaning against the frame.

He was still as good looking as I remembered, and the six years since i had seen him, he hadn't changed him at all. "We've come looking for information on a group named Kuro."

His face paled. "Get inside. Let them in Rin." He told his brother, who also went pale.

-

"Care to explain why you turned pale?" I raised an eyebrow.

"First I want your names." He snapped. "I don't give any information out to strangers."

"I think you'll find two of us aren't strangers at all." Kakashi growled.

"I think I'd remember you." Drei said, flopping into a couch lazily. "Especially with that hair."

"Kakashi." I whispered. "Enough."

He grunted.

"Kakashi sensei is pissed." Shikamaru hissed to me.

"I know. Anyway, introductions. This is Kakashi Hatake, and Shikamaru Nara."

"And you two lovely ladies are?" He kept his eyes on both Sapphira and I.

I placed my hands on Kakashis chest to prevent him from launching over the table and beating the crap out of him. "I'm Yuuki. And that's Sapphira."

His face resolved into pure shock. Suddenly, he burst out into laughter. "Yeah right! Yuuki Uchiha! Sapphira Uki? No fucking way!" He always did have a foul mouth.

I glared at him, activating my Sharingan. "Be quiet Drei. Like it or not; it is us. Deal with it."

He shut up immediately, realising we were telling the truth. "You haven't changed a bloody bit. Still as emotionless as ever. Then again, you changed." He winked.

I slammed my hand on the table, making him jump. "If you imply something like that again, I will kill you. And for your information, I have changed Drei, I also have a fiancé."

"I don't see him anywhere."

"It's Kakashi, idiot." I replied.

He chuckled, trying to put on a brave front, but I could see that he was trying to sink into the couch. "Okay then. What would you like to know?"

"Everything."

He sighed. "Until now, Kuro has been a tiny organisation that ranges of a few people from all over. Kind of like the Akatsuki, although not as well known. Actually, they weren't noticed at all until two months ago."

"And what happened two months ago to make them get noticed?" Shikamaru asked.

He stared at Shika before sighing. "They murdered someone important in the criminal world."

"So?"

"It was done publicly. In front of hundreds of people. They slit his throat. From the sound of it, it was quite grim. Although officials have searched far and wide for them, they have been able to elude them. They also were able to steal a forbidden scroll from the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Your village. I take it you know this?"

Sapphira nodded. "Yeah. We were part of the team that was sent out to capture the merchant who sold them a copy of the scroll."

Rin, who was standing behind where Drei was sitting, said "There's been a recent notice saying that Kuro is now working with some members of the Akatsuki. Also that they have also performed the Jutsu on a tailed beast already."

This time, I was the one who turned pale. "Which Tailed beast was it?"

He scoffed. "Why should I tell you?"

I punched the table, snapping it in two. "Just tell me goddamn it!"

"The ten tails. Or so they say, which is kind of hard to believe...."

I didn't hear his voice after that.
