TWO CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, this was part of chapter 45, but when you reach 20 pages on Word with size 11 font, it's a little to much.

And that is all..

And I really have no reason for the pic today, I just wanted to but that one up.

--------------

Chapter 46

Home Sweet Home.

---------------

(Just a small recap)

'Ne ne... Since you're wearing a leather jacket, can you please dye your hair blue with the tips purple?'

'No... Like I said then, never going to happen.'

'What about deep red?'

'I know only one person that has hair like that, and she not mentally stable at all... So no thanks.'

'Black?' She asked, oblivious to my insult. I shook my head and this time did hit my face.

'No.'

'Brunette?'

'N. O.'

'Blonde?'

'NO!'

'Sheesh... Sorry. No need to yell.'

'With you there's all ways a reason to yell.'

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Another few days later.~~~~~~~~~~~

"This village has changed quite a bit while I was gone." Obasan said as she leaned against the railing onto of the Hokage office. I walked up to her and leaned my back against the railing.

"Image how I felt." I said with a smile, looking over my shoulder, down into the streets, seeing the small head of Rin walking down the street, choking the life out of Nala, or now Kitty-chan as she gave her tour of her new home. She had ended up waking up maybe an hour after my argument with Suteki about hair colour, so the next few days as we walked I was with her and Naruto, talking about random things and things we have to show her. I had also given my goggles back to her when she had woken up, much to her excitement.

"Must have tooken a while to get used to. Let's hope it doesn't for me, seeing as starting today, the village is my responsibility as the fifth Hokage." She turned around and faced the six people behind us.

"I am amazed you were able to persuade her..." One of the elders said to Ojisan... I didn't pay attention enough to learn his name when we came back, so he and his sister are just the old snobby elders, or dumb 1 and dumb 2.

"HAH! A handsome devil like myself only needs his charm to peruse anyone! GYAHAHAHAHA!!!"

'Hump.... Suuuure... What charm, more like almost die from poisoning and then letting you 'student' take care of all the hard work.' I thought to myself, and the look on Naruto's face told me that he was thinking something very similar.

"Well, then lets gather the local Lords and celebrate the inauguration of the fifth Hokage. Genma, Aoba, Announce this is to the village." Dumb 2 told the tow jounins besides her.

"Aye!" The both siad before disappearing.... Not the two liveliest people. That’s for sure....

"WAIT UP! TSUNADE HAS SOME STUFF TO TAKE CARE OF FIRST!" Naruto yelled, making Obasan scratch the back of her head.

"Jiraiya, so who were they again?"

"I already told you during the trip home!" Ojisan scowled her. "That brat Kakashi, the Uchiha's kid, and Gai's student, Lee."

"You could at least try and remember the names of your patience Obasan... Or should I call you Lady Hokage now? Maybe Hokage-Obasan..."

"I don't care..." She muttered under her breath as we walked back into the building and down some stairs. I gave her a mock salute.

"All right then! From now on I shall call you Tsuande Hokage-Obasan!!!" I said and pumped a fist into the air for no reason. I stayed like that for a few seconds before I noticed that everyone was staring at my funny so I lowered my hand and made my face be a serious one. 'I can't believe I just said that!!!! Serious ace! Serious face! Yosh!'

'Yosh?'

'Shut up.' I grumbled, crossing my arms and looking slightly over to the left, away from everyone, but in the corner of my eye I saw Shikamaru and his father Shikaku (The only person Shikamaru could have gotten his laziness from) coming up the stairs.

"Hey! What's up Naruto? What are you doing here?" Shikamaru asked.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing! The only building around here is the ninja administration." I smirk when I realized why he was here, but still looked to the side.

"Nothing really, just taking care of annoying business."

"Huh, what is it?"

"Er... How are you, Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama?" Shikaku said with his head slightly bowed.

"Hey, aren't you from the Nara clan? Who's that kid?" She asked him. "Are you taking care of your deer? Their antlers make good medicine."

"Yes ma'am."

"Psst. Naruto, who's the women with a big attitude and the punk girl besides her. She looks familiar." Shikamaru whispered to Naruto as Obasan and his dad talked. My smirks widen slightly when he asked about me.

"She's the new Hokage. Oh, and although she looks young, she's really fifty!" Shikamaru looked shocked and looked at me making me try and hold back some laughed, only to fail.

"No me you lazy bum! I know the year I was born and the age I look don't really match up, but there is no way I'm that old!" I said as I held my middle, laughing. I pointed my thumb over to Tsunade. "My aunt is the new Hokage! Geez, for a smart guy, you really can be as stupid as Naruto!! I mean seriously, I all did was change my clothes and get a haircut!"

"Hey! Harmony, what'cha mean by that?!" Naruto yelled at me, clenching his fist. I waved my hand at him.

"Nothing otouto, nothing." I said, still laughing slightly. All confusion left when Naruto called my name and I called him otouto, but it seemed to spark his father's interest.

"Well I'll be damned. It looks like what Inoichi’s and Choza's kids where telling the truth. You really did come back from the dead." He said when Obasan was finished talking to him about his deer. I nodded my head and gave him a one eye closed smile.

"And I bet because of that I am still a troublesome woman?" I asked him jokingly. "So how's the girlfriend, or should I say wife now, seeing as you two made this lazy ass." I gestured over to his son, while Shikaku gave a good nature laugh.

"She is as god as all always. How about you and that Hatake kid... Well, he's not much of a kid anymore..." I could tell he was teasing, so I tried my best not to scowl at his name.

"Hm, seems like she is still ruling your life and you are letting her, good. And there is nothing going on between us. Never was and never will be. Ever." I then reached into my jacket and grabbed two small water filled vails with a twist cap. On the way home I had sown it in so I would have to all ways carry a water bottle around. I popped off the lid and the let the water pool into my pals before letting it freeze into three frozen tiger lilies. I examined them before handing all three to Shikaku. "Here, give these to Inoichi and Choza. I hadn’t had the time to visit and say hi, so these will do it in my place." Shikaku looked down at them and smiled.

"You’re getting better at these, Akia hana." I smiled at his compliment.

"Thanks. That means a lot." I said before I looked over my shoulder and saw Tsuande-Obasan and Shizune where already gone. "Come on Naruto, we got to go, and Shikamaru, you do deserve this, and I expect you to show it off when you get it." I said with a wink before waving to his father and then running to catch up with the other two.

"I see you are done catching up with your old friend." Obasan said when I caught up to her. I nodded as we walked down the road, the hospital in sight.

"Yeah, all though I feel kinda bad that I hadn't done it before. Those three where all ways good to me, and even let me train a little with them every now and again. But I doubt that I could still. They are all jounins now and I'm only a chunin, even though i don't wear the vest."

"HEY! Wait up!!!" Naruto yelled behind us, running to catch up with Jiraiya in tow, leisurely walking. Unfortunately, Naruto was running to fast, and if I had not grabbed the back of his collar when he got close he would have zipped right on by.

"I know you are in a big rush to go and see Sasuke healthy again Naruto, but do you really have to run so fast." I asked him after I yanked him back, and he ended up on the ground from the force. He didn't seem to hear my tease because he jumped up and looked straight at me. Which I found odd seeing as most people would look at the hospital if there teammate was in it and they were bringing a doctor to heal them.

"Why did Shikamaru's dad bring up you and Kakashi-sensei after you had asked about Shikamaru's mom?" He asked me after he stood up.

'Wow.... Whoever says that this kid is an idiot and doesn't notice anything is dead wrong.... Hahahaha Sucker!" I gave Naruto a curious look, ignoring Suteki's remark.

"He brought up Hatake because like I told you before. When he and I were the same age, we were on the same team, and I often teased Shikaku about his girlfriend, so he teased me about me and Hatake." I said, ending with a shrug. "We were really good friends then, that's all."

"Yeah, but why do you say 'were really good friends' and call Kakashi-sensei Hatake. You use all ways call him Kakashi before. Why don't you still?"

"Ooooo... I can see the gears moving inside his head!!!!!!!!!!!!'

"How about we talk about this later Naruto, there's something else I want to talk to you about." I told him before walking up to the doors of the hospital and walking down the pristine white halls, the clean scent mixed with stale air and medicine floated in the air, but when we reached a certain door there was a slight floral smell mixed in. It wasn't ever noticeable, but the smell became slightly stronger when we opened the door to reveal a pink-haired girl sitting at the bedside of a certain uncurious Uchiha. I looked to the other side of the bed and noticed two daffodils, still fresh. 'She must have been visiting Sasuke every day.' I thought to myself as I walked in, Sakura not noticing our presence until Obasan spoke.

"May we come in?" She asked as she walked in a little after me, Shizune a little to her left and Naruto directly behind Obasan and Ojisan behind Shizune so Sakura couldn't see him at her angle.

"...Who are you..?" Sakura asked slowly, her eyes on Tsunade-Obasan.

"Sakura-chan, he'll be alright now! She's a great doctor!" Naruto shouted happily, jumping from behind Obasan.

"She's not a great doctor, you idiot, she's the greatest doctor." I scowled him, but smiled at Sakura." But he is right, Sasuke is going to be okay, so wipe that depressed and surprised look off your face."

"Naruto? Harmony?" She asked, Naruto did his little laugh and scratched the back of his head while I nodded and shoved my hands back into my pockets, looking at Sasuke. 'He looks like death... Poor guy...'

'What did you except? Him to be full of life and smiles? You know him, he has to be a like a Uchiha, all serious and cold all the time, even when knock out.'

'That's rude Suteki.'

'And?' She asked as Sakura turned to Tsunade-Obasan and bowed her head, asking her to help Sasuke.

"Alright! Leave it all to me!" She responded before walking over to him and placing her right and over his forehead, letting her green medical chakra surround it. After maybe 30 seconds to a minute she pulled her hand back and looked back to Sakura, who had tears leaking down her face. "He'll wake up soon." That was all she said before she took a few steps to the side, letting Sakura claim her spot besides Sasuke again. I looked at the three of them, Sasuke uncurious, Sakura by his bed, and Naruto a little off to the side, smiling as he waits for Sasuke to awake. I don't know why, but it felt peaceful, even though it was sad that this scenario will probably happen a few to many times in their lives till they stand at the bedside of a friend that will never open their eyes again. When I thought that I looked away from them and crossed my arms over my body, hugging my sides.

'That is too cruel of a fate for them. Why do we strive to be the strongest and the swiftest when we know that the enemies get just a strong and swift as we do, making it an never ending battle even after we pass. Our love ones would only end up fighting the enemies loved ones, continuing the cycle. Why must we all ways place ourselves in harm’s way to insure safety?' I thought to myself before no being able to handle it anymore and excusing myself from the room, telling everyone that I needed some water.

When I was out of the room I didn't go out to get some air, I simply leaned against the walls and closed my eyes, the memories of all the dead bodies I had seen though out the years flashing under my closed eyes, from both the war and from either failed or successful missions. It never really happens to me often, seeing this and feeling the overwhelming pressure it brings being essentially a weapon, one only meant to kill when the need arises, but it does happens the few times I am in a hospital to see someone. It was just one more reason why I didn't like this building. I don't like the clean, medical smell in the air, masking the stench of death of the recently deceased. I don't like how when walking down the halls no one pays attention to the sobs and cries that can be heard from inside those closed door, and how so many times, if a shinobi of the leaf is brought here, most of the time they don't walk out the same. And I feared that the same might happen to Sasuke... The peace that was found in that room would never last, seeing as it is often a for-warning to the enviable.

"Harmony? Why are you here? I though you went to go and get a drink." Naruto said as he exited the room, making me jump. I hadn't noticed him till he had asked, and quickly changed my stance. I had ended up covering my eyes with one hand as the other still hugged my side. So now I was still leaning against the wall, but both hands where in my pockets.

"Sorry. I really just needed some air... I don't like hospitals all that much." I told him. "So, Sasuke's awake already?" He nodded.

"And you needed to get some air as well?" He nodded again, looking a little to the side. I smiled at him and dug out my wallet, handing him some bills. "I know I said we will talk later, but how about right now you go get some ramen and catch up with Scar- I mean Iruka. When you are done then meet me at our creek, okay?" he looked at the bills that I held out to him, but said nothing. I moved them a little closer to him. "It's my treat, besides, it looks like you need to talk to someone who is not me, but still understands that you are you, and nothing else. Why don't you tell him about your training? I'm sure he will be happy to hear that his drop-dead last student had become so powerful."

That was all that was needed for Naruto's signature smile to return and grab the bills I held out to him, before turning and running a few paces away. "That's Onee-chan!!!" He cried over his shoulder as he ran down the halls, singing the word ramen over and over again. I watched with smile till he rounded the corner and the sounds of his voice drifted away to nothing, even to me. The moment I knew he wasn't coming back for a while my smile dropped a little, but not fully disappearing.

"You’re welcome, otouto..." I whispered before leaning back against the wall. "Maybe there is nothing wrong with a little peace... It just might be me being paranoid.... I hope."

"AH! Harmony... Here you are I was wondering what was taking you so long!" Ojisan said as he opened the door and poked his head out, seeing he leaning against the wall, arms crossed over my chest with a faint ghost smile on my lips.

'Wow Harmony, you have reallllly bad mood swings, first happy, then depressed, worried, and now back to happy! You really should get that check out... It could be a sign of insanity!!!'

"I just thought that I was intruding, seeing as I am not truly part of team seven anymore. And no Suteki, my mood swings are not the sign of insanity, it a sign that I'm not you and I'm tired." I told him (the last part I said under my breath, directed to a certain person) and pushed myself off the wall as he walked out, followed by Obasan and Shizune. I looked at the two of them and then sighed, hanging my head. 'Let me guess, he's the next patient?"

'And now you're annoyed!!! Is there no end to your endless mood swings?!?! HAHAHA!!!"

'Oh just shut up would you?'

'Mmmmmmmmmmm.... No.'

'... *sigh* whatever. I give up. '

"Sorry Harmony-san... You don't have to come if you want to." Shizune said, moving closer to place a hand on my shoulder, but I held up my hand, stopping her.

"No. I should go. Someone has to scold him for thinking that he can take on Itachi. Not that me saying it will change the fact that he never listens to anyone." Grumbling I began walking down the hall to where the room we were told that Hatake was staying in, which was really down the hall from Sasuke's. "And for the last time, no san or chan or anything, okay? Just Harmony. That's my name. Now let’s get this over with. Okay?"

"I should remind you that you too tried to go up against Itachi Harmony." Jiraiya-Ojisan said, trying to tease me. I gave him a sarcastic smile.

"Oh ha ha. Very funny Ojisan. But I didn't go up against him; I tried to get Naruto away from him. The one I did try to go up against was his partner.... Um... I think his name was Mr. Fish Stick.... Right?"

"But he was his partner, so he was just as strong. So you should have known." He said as he reached a door, Tsunade going in, but sending off Shizune to go do something.

"Well, I'm sorry. I was kinda more worried about my little brother than worry that a big blue fish man could be that strong." I counted as he and I walked through the door.

"Then you’re an idiot."

"At least I'm not some perverted sage that spends his time at hot springs doing ‘research’!" I did air quotes around the last word before shaking my head. "You really are only a Pervy-sage though-and-though, just like Naruto says."

"HEY! I don't need you calling me that too ya’ know! You kids know no respect these days." He yelled at me and tried to hit me on the top of my head, but I quickly dodged him and jumped onto his back so he would be able to get me. When he looked over his should at me I stuck my tongue out at him.

"You still have my respect Ojisan, it's just I think you’re a pervert at the same time."

"Damn monkey." He grumbled under his breath, but could tell he was smiling, so I smiled too... Until I realized that the other three people in the room where staring at us funny.

"Umm... Hi." I said, my checks a flame as I jumped of his back, putting some distance between us before giving a small wave to Gai and Hatake.

'Then teasing, then happy, and now embarrassed!!!!!!'

"Shut it, you old hag." I accidently said out loud, but I ended up saying it after Tsunade had said something, so it sounded like i was talking to her.

"Excuse me Harmony?" She asked, looking a little shocked that I said something so rude to 'her' I lung my hands up.
