`I just had to travel this way, you are so dumb sometimes Haruko!' The Mizukage mentally kicked herself as her horse raced past the flying scenery. Even though the horse was swift, it was taking quite a long time. `I know! I'll use the Teleportation Jutsu!' Haruko halted her horse and did a few hand seals. “Teleportation no Jutsu!”

 

The Kohona gate was very impressive, though it could not compete with the Water Villages. A few Chunnin ninjas stood guard in front of the gate as she put her horse on a steady walk towards them.

 

“State your business.” A ninja with a scar across his nose stated.

 

“The meeting for Kages.” Haruko replied.

 

“And from which country are you from, little girl?” The ninja teased.

 

“Water Country.” Haruko found it that she was no longer in the mood to dispute anymore and held up her scroll for the Chunnin to see.

 

The ninja examined it carefully, trying to catch forgery, but could not. “I'll be your escort to the main Hokage tower. I'm Iruka Umino.”

Haruko did not dismount her pure black horse but handed Iruka the reins. He took it, and then walked into the village. People stared at her. She was wearing the traditional Mizukage outfit that no one could mistake. On her mount, Haruko caught a few whispers.

 

“The new Mizukage was said to be young, I just didn't know that she would be this youthful!”

 

“She's cute, I mean, look at that hair, is it natural?”

 

Then, “HOW DID A GIRL MY AGE BECOME A KAGE?!”

 

“Naruto Uzamaki, I'll have you know that you should show some respect to the Mizukage!” Iruka yelled, a large anime vein popping from his head.

 

`Uzamaki Naruto, that's the boy I'm supposed to bring to the Akatsuki headquarters. So Itachi-kun was right. Replacement Jutsu!' Haruko snickered, as what was supposed to ride her mount was now an ordinary log. She waited until Iruka was out of view until she jogged up to Naruto and tapped him on the shoulder.

 

“ACK! It's the Mizukage; she must've heard what I said about her! I must hide!” Naruto screamed.

 

Haruko sweat dropped. “Uh, I was just going to say hi…” she stammered, surprised at not only the sudden outburst, but also the boy's stupidity. Another boy came into view and smacked the blonde on the head.

 

“OW! Sasuke, you idiot why'd you do that?”

 

“Because you are a dobe.”

 

“What did you call me?”

 

“A dobe.”

 

“What! I'm not the dobe, you are!”

 

Sasuke ignored him and turned towards Haruko. “Hi.”

 

“Uh, hi! Your friend, is he, um, okay?” Haruko pointed at a red Naruto, who was apparently yelling strings curses and other inappropriate words.

 

“He's fine.”

“Ok… I'm Haruko. So who are you?”

 

“Uchiha Sasuke. Lost, Mizukage?”

 

“No, the Hokage tower is hard to miss. I've got to go. It won't take long for the Hokage to see through my Mizu Bunshin. I'll see you around.”

 

“I know when the meeting ends, I'll go pick you up.”

 

“No, that's not necessary, Sasuke.”

 

“It's fine, now go.”

 

“Um, Ok then. Bye! And thanks!” Haruko teleported back to her horse and replaced her Bunshin without Iruka noticing.

 

~With Naruto~

 

“Sasuke, you never offer to pick a girl up.” Naruto snickered at the Uchiha with a sly look on his face.

 

“And you have not changed at all in 3 years. Still the same immature dobe.”

 

“So you don't like the girl?”

 

“No.”

 

“So you're gay then.”

 

“NO!”

 

“There is nothing wrong with being odd.”

 

“I'm not gay.”

 

“But you don't like girls.”

 

“But I hate boys other than myself.”

 

“So you do like the girl.”

“No wonder you are a fox, Naruto. Now leave me alone.”

AN: I have no intention of writing the Kage's meeting. It's about this political stuff, treaties and all that stuff. If you want it, Review me the request and a comment on the story and I will email it to you.

“All this political stuff makes my head go dizzy. And all that paperwork made my hand feel like spaghetti.” Haruko groaned as she walked out of the Hokage tower. All the Kages were staying for a few weeks, so Haruko had assigned Kenshi to take over while she was gone. `Boy, that Hokage Tsunade can be so nerve wrecking. She talks so much about these pacts between the countries. I mean it was annoying enough to learn all that political stuff during the first month of being Mizukage. I did not come here for a replay. Oh, here's Sasuke.'

 

“Did the meeting go well?” Sasuke smirked at Haruko's bored impression.

 

“Yes, it was terrific! Of course not, Tsunade-sama is like Hotaka…she is like a sensei or something. No offence.”

 

“That's fine. Hotaka contacted me asking if you could stay at my home since all the hotels are full. I agreed.”

 

“Hotaka did WHAT!”

 

“Do you want me to repeat?”

 

“That, I will see to him when I get back.”

 

“He sent me this note to give you once I cracked the fact. Apparently, he did not want to say it himself.”

 

“Figures.” Haruko took the note, already knowing what it was going to say.

 

Mizukage-sama,

It's not what it seems! All the hotels were booked so I had no choice! I contacted the Hokage and she said that you could stay at one of her ninja's home and she recommended the last member of the Uchiha clan saying he would be suitable. Please don't fire me.

 

From, Hotaka

 

P.S- I kind of spilled a bottle of permanent ink on your favorite blue training suit.

 

By the time Haruko finished reading the good for nothing note, there was a huge anime vein on her head and a large sweatdrop on Sasuke's head.

 

“Hotaka sounds like a really clumsy guy…”

 

“HE IS SO DEAD BY THE TIME I GET THROUGH WITH HIM! MY FAVORITE TRAINING OUTFIT! WHY ME?”

 

“Calm down, Haruko!”

 

Haruko muttered a few threats and curses before putting it behind her. “Ok, where do you live?”

 

“There.” Sasuke pointed at a house just beside them and led Haruko through the gate. He took out his keys and unlocked the door. “Ladies first.” He smirked, waving his arm towards the door.

 

Haruko smiled and stepped into the house. It was a lovely house, elegantly decorated and cleaned. He then led her to the guest's room and went into the room beside it after saying, “Your luggage was teleported here by Kenshi. We're going out for dinner. Get dressed into some more comfortable clothing.”

 

Haruko went into the room and opened a random luggage. Inside were her clothing articles and Haruko picked out and outfit absentmindedly. It was a sleeveless white turtleneck with matching white gloves that covered up to her elbows. She also wore a pair of blue jeans and brown leather boots. After getting changed, she went downstairs and met Sasuke.

 

“Is blue your favorite color or is it because you are the Water Country's Kage?” He remarked.

 

“Both. And I just randomly picked so…”

 

“Let's go.”

 

Sasuke guided Haruko to a place where there were many restaurants and bars. He let her choose a place to eat. Haruko looked around and pointed to a bar that had the sign that read `Ichiraku's Ramen Bar'.

 

`Another Ramen-Lover?' Sasuke thought as he sat down at the bar. He did not mind ramen; it was just the thought that she might loves ramen as much as Naruto does that scared him.

 

“One chicken ramen please!” (I love Chicken Ramen so no one diss it!) Haruko ordered and then turned to Sasuke “What would you like?”

 

“It makes it sound like you are treating.”

 

“I am!” Haruko pulled out a blue wallet and waved it in front of Sasuke.

 

“That's great, but I'm still treating.”

 

“But it's my way for saying thanks for picking me up after the meeting and for letting me stay at your home.”

 

“I still insist on treating.”

 

“It's not like I am short on money, you know.”

 

“Neither am I.”

 

“Why is it so important that you pay?”

 

“Because.”

 

“Because what?”

 

“Just because.”

 

“Tell, you what. We'll decide when the bill comes.”

 

“Fair enough.”

 

“Sasuke, Mizukage-sama! You're here too?” A hyper Naruto greeted them, with Iruka following behind him. “That's great! Iruka-sensei is treating me to ramen. AGAIN!”

 

“Great, Naruto! And it's Haruko, not Mizukage-sama. I'm around your age.”

 

“Okay Haruko-chan!”

 

Their ramen arrived and both Naruto and Haruko were the first to snap apart their disposable chopsticks and dug into their own ramen. Sasuke watched with a large sweatdrop on his face. `Great, two ramen lunatics…' He then began to eat his own ramen.

 

After Haruko finished her bowl, she sat back and sighed. Yet Naruto on the other hand ordered more and more ramen by the minutes, making Iruka put on a very grave face on. Sasuke had also finished his ramen and just watched with Haruko watch Naruto break yet another record for consuming ramen in the Records of Uzamaki.

 

By the time Naruto finished, there were 8 large empty bowls in front of him. Ichiraku, who was pleased with the amount of ramen they ordered, placed the bill in front of them. Seeing that, both Sasuke and Haruko took out their wallets. They glanced at each other and immediately pulled out the cash. Evidently, Haruko's wallet held a lot more bills then Sasuke's.

 

“I'm paying” Haruko insisted.

 

“No, I am.” Sasuke replied.

 

“Forget it.” Haruko answered.

 

“Ok, if we can't decide then neither of us will.” Sasuke claimed.

 

“Then who is going to pay?” asked Haruko. Then it dawned on her. Both Sasuke and Haruko exchanged smirks and then shot Iruka a devious smile.

 

“Uh-oh. I don't like that look…” The Chunnin stammered.

 

“You I can just teleport out of here and you will have to pay either anyways. I can do this the hard way, or the easy way.” Haruko grinned.

 

“…Y-yes, Mizukage-sama. Let me have the bill.” Iruka took it from Haruko and looked at it. He turned very pale and then… “Goodbye, 2 weeks worth of profit.”

 

Haruko giggled and pulled out from her wallet some bills and handed them to Iruka. “Since I have a big heart, here. I'll tip in.”

 

Iruka immediately lit up and accepted the bills. He added a few from his own wallet and the group left.

 

“It's late, me and Haruko should get going.” Sasuke declared.

 

“Why, Sasuke? You two are sharing one roof?” Naruto teased.

 

“Naruto…” Haruko had somehow gotten hold of Naruto's wallet and was now slowly opening it. “Say one more thing about it and…”

 

“I won't say another thing, Haruko! I swear on my life! Please give me back my wallet!”

 

“You swear?”

 

“On my life!”

 

“Ok.” The wallet disappeared in a puff of smoke. “A little Genjutsu trick. Bye!” Haruko heard a mumble come from Naruto and decided to ignore it. She walked until a thought dawned on her. “Uh-Oh… Sasuke, I'm Lost!”

 

“The house is right over here.” Sasuke pointed to the house on the right.

 

“Oh.” Haruko blushed; embarrassed that she was so forgetful. “I knew that!”

 

“Sure you did.” The Uchiha muttered as he opened the door.
