After the buffet, which involved a food fight somehow, that the boys had to clean up. I drove them all home, Naruto had fallen asleep and we decided to put him in the backseat. Gaara is the one sitting in the front because he was the only one not even remotely tired and if I get too tired I'd let him or Sasuke drive but not a big chance of that happening.

"That was fun," I comment when everyone but me and Gaara are asleep. "I have to agree I guess those idiots can be less annoying than I had first thought, though they're still annoying." I chuckle at his review. "So do I have to drop you all back at the school or your houses?" I ask, nervously looking at the time, 7:00.

"We all rode in my sister's car today so she probably left us." I sigh, "dropping off it is. You know the addresses?" Gaara nods and gives me the first address. "Neji!" I turn back and tug his hair lightly, "ugh......huh?" He wakes up slowly and I stick my thumb behind me, "we're at your house." He wakes up a bit more and nods, getting out the car.

"See ya," I wave and continue to the next house. "Kiba!" I poke his face a couple of times until I finally decide to slap it. "Yow!" He wakes up abruptly. "Why must you hurt me so much babe?" I roll my eyes and point to his house, "get out." He puts a hand to his heart, "no goodbye?" When he climbs out, I speed off and smirk.

We go around the block and come back to see Kiba standing there with his hair a bit ruffled. "Bye Kiba," he laughs and runs towards his house. By now Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara are up. "Sasuke," I stop in front of his house. "See you Monnie," I wave and we wait til he's inside to drive off. "Gaara, your house is closer to us than Naruto's."

I glance at the time nervously, 7:35. We stop and Gaara gets out quickly, "bye." I wave and continue, Naruto hopping into the front seat. "Can we just drive Monnie? I'll pay!" He requests and I glance at the time. "Sorry but I can't." Naruto pouts giving me the kicked puppy look he's so good at.

"Naruto I can't, I have a curfew and I can't get in trouble." He sighs and puts his elbow on the window. We stop at his house, "at least come in." He offers, 7:45. I sigh, "only for a minute." Parking the car, I get out quickly. "So who do you live with Naruto?" I ask him and he looks a little sad. "My Mom isn't alive anymore and my Dad's always working. I live alone right now." I frown and we sit down on a couch.

"Hm, well it has to be boring here alone. Tomorrow is a Saturday and I don't have to be home until 5, so why don't we go to the mall. Around....1-2 o'clock?" Naruto perks up instantly. "Really!? Thanks Monnie! But...I don't have any money." I laugh and pat his head, "I'll lone you some. No interest but it can be played back however you want it to be." Naruto grins and jumps on me, hugging tight.

"Thanks so much Monnie!" I chuckle and nod, "sure Naru. Its no problem, I get paid tomorrow anyway." Naruto's jaw drops, "you have a job?! Where!?" I shake my head but answer, "I work with International Records." Naruto's eyes bulge and he falls off the couch, "but....THAT'S THE BIGGEST RECORDING COMPANY IN THE WORLD!!"

I smirk, "I know a few people." Naruto looks at me in awe and I check my phone, 7:55. "Ah! My curfew! I'm so dead!! Bye Naruto, catch you tomorrow!" I wave and grab my jacket, running out the house quickly. "Bye Monnie!" Naruto waves from his door step and I send a small wave as I speed off, leaving tire tracks.

7:57

7:59

"Gosh why the heck does Naruto have to live so far from me?!" I yell in frustration but I have to stop at a light. "Gah!!!!" I slam my fists on the steering wheel multiple times. 8:00.

I let out a string of curses and finally park in my driveway, running inside the house. "You're late." I look at my watch, 8:02.

Damn.

The next morning, I get up quickly. My upper arms have deep cuts on them that I had cleaned and wrapped last night, my shirt from yesterday was torn to shreds and my stomach had light cuts. My brother already had his knife out when I had gotten home, resulting in my wounds for today.

I get dressed quickly, grabbing a black shirt, dark blue jeans, my rosary, my black snapback and my black hoodie. "I'm going to work!" I shout through the house and hurry up before Mark could tell me when to be back.

10:00

I sigh, driving to work with a low beat playing in the car. I arrive at 10:25, 5 minutes before I am supposed to receive my check. "Hey Monnie," Carly greets me from the front desk. "Hey Lisa, got my check?" I ask with a smirk. "Only if you give me a smile." She responds. I frown and flip so that I'm standing on my hands.

"Not what I meant..." She mumbles and hands me a envelope. I smirk and grab it, "don't be sad. I took your advice and I got myself a friend....at least I think they're my friends." She squeals, "that was plural! Tell me all about them!" I shake my head but take a seat. How me and Carly are friends, I'll never know. She has short brown hair and a almond color skin tone, her eyes are a pretty hazel and she is really tall.

I do a bio on each person, Carly looking more and more excited as I go. "You finally have friends!" She squeals, I scratch my head. "If you want to call it that." She shakes her head vigorously, "this is great! Don't deny it! You have to let me meet them so I can threaten them!!" My eyes get wide, "uh...what?"

"If they hurt you, I'll kill them." She says like its the most simple thing in the world. I face-palm and stand up, "I got to go, I'm supposed to be picking them all up soon." She pouts, "you're so lucky. Friends and a beautiful car, I'm stuck here working." She whines, I smirk and shake my head. Leaving, I think to myself. 'If only she knew.'

I get to Naruto's house 30 minutes later. Its now, 12:39. I sit in my car for a second, wondering if I should ditch. Then I sigh, I made a promise. I get out of my car and knock on Naruto's door. "Huh? Who is- Monnie!" Naruto grins, jumping and hugging me. "Uh, hi." I say awkwardly. "Come in, I wasn't sure if you remembered but I was getting ready."

I almost smile at Naruto's happy expression but restrain myself. "You can eat or drink whatever you want but I'm going to finish getting ready." Naruto bounds up the steps. I look around the house slowly, its a mess. There's clothes and trash everywhere.

I walk into the kitchen, its empty except for ramen cups. I sigh, 'I bet he never eats a real meal.' I grab a pan and find some ingredients I need in the fridge. After a little while, I am cooking pancakes and eggs. I even set the table, cleaning up a little bit. "Monnie?" I hear Naruto from the steps.

Looking up, I see Naruto in a T-shirt and some jeans. "Hey," I greet and put down the last bit of food. "What happened?" He asks, shocked. "Meh....I made you food, eat." I respond, lazily sitting on the countertop. "And you cleaned up?!" He shouts, I face-palm, "yeah but only the kitchen."

Naruto grins and sits down at the table, "thanks Monnie!" I nod and listen to music as Naruto stuffs his mouth. "Thefe arf meay gosd!" Naruto speaks with a mouthful of food. I throw a wooden spoon that hits his head, "don't talk when your mouth is full." He anime cries but continues to stuff his face.

After Naruto finishes, we go outside to my car, I unlock the doors and we get in quickly. "Do you want to get anyone else or just us?" I ask, backing out of the driveway. "Can we just go alone?" I nod and drive towards the mall. "So I've never really been to the mall, what should we do?" I ask, getting out the car.

"You've never been to the mall?!" Naruto yells and I flinch, "yeah. I'm not exactly for malls." I explain. Naruto grabs my lower arm, thankfully avoiding the cuts on my upper arm. "Then we'll have to do everything!" He shouts and drags me inside. After an hour or so, I am almost out breath and Naruto is still dragging me to different stores.

I see a food court and pull Naruto back, "CALM DOWN!! WE ARE GOING TO EAT AND YOU'RE GOING TO BREATHE!" Naruto salutes, "Ma'am yes Ma'am!" We walk over to the tables and sit down, I have a regular sized bag and Naruto has a huge bag. "What do you want to eat?" I ask him. "Uh....Pizza! No Chinese! No pizza!" I hit his head.

"Pizza it is." I stand up and walk over to the pizza shop and order, then I go over to the Chinese shop and get two boxes of food. After grabbing the pizza, I struggle a little bit. "Whoa!" A voice sounds and the other end of the pizza is grabbed so that it doesn't fall. "Sorry," I state and try to get a better grip on the box.

"Its okay, I'm Sai." I blink at the boy that caught my food. He has jet black hair and looks a little pale. "Monnie," I say shortly and start heading back to the table. "Hey wait a second, are you alone?" I tense up slightly and look back at the boy, "no I'm not." I growl and keep walking, he jumps in front of me.

"Why don't you and your friend come sit with me and a couple of my friends." I glare at him, "no thanks." Pushing past him, he grabs my arm and fake smiles. "Come on babe," I grit my teeth and struggle with the food in my hands. "Leave her alone!" A person pushes Sai away from me and I get my grip back on the food.

I see Itachi standing in front of me and Kisame in front of Sai. "I suggest you leave," Itachi orders Sai coldly. "Fine, fine, I'm leaving. See you later Monnie!" He smirks and waves in my direction. "You okay?" I hear Konan behind me, "oh yeah. Thanks." I thank them and look back over to Naruto.

"What was that about anyway?" Pein asks and I shake my head, "what's with all the food?" Sasori asks next. Walk back to the table, Naruto looked sad but perked up as soon as I came back. "Sorry, the line was long." I state, Naruto grins. "That's okay!"

"So are you guys on a date?" Konan asks with a smile. "No," I say calmly as Naruto continues to blush and stutter. "I was only teasing anyway." Her expression becomes serious, "so what did that guy want from you?" Naruto casts me a worried glance, "what guy?"

I sigh and sit back, "I'm fine. We're all fine, can't we forget about it?" The others stare at me with a blank look. "Fine! Gosh, he asked me if I was alone then he asked if I wanted to sit with him." I explain in exasperation. "So he got physical after that?" I put a hand to my head and nod. "TOBI SAVED PRETTY LADY FROM BAD MAN!"

My eye is twitching as Tobi hugs me tightly, I pat his head. "Yeah sure, you're a good boy." Tobi claps in glee, "YAY!!" Naruto looks at the Akatsuki strangely. "We'll see you later Monnie," Pein says and everyone waves. Except for that idiot Hidan. "We'll see you in the shitty school tomorrow bitch!" I face-palm but wave anyway.

"So anyway, why'd you look so upset when I walked over?" Naruto scratches the back of his neck, "I had thought you ditched me." I frown, "trust me Naru if I wanted to ditch you, I'd do it at the start." Naruto sweat-drops, "is that suppose to be reassuring?" I shrug and start eating, "decide that for yourself."
