A/N:

Mr. Uchimaki: WE ARE SOOOOOOOOO SORRY! WE WANTED TO WRITE MORE (well, I'm sort of speaking for myself, I'm not sure how my writing partner feels about this) BUT SCHOOL AND FRIENDS AND STUFF GOT IN THE WAY! Anyway, the holidays are coming up, and we will write HEAPS!

Mariam: We will? Ok… Here is the next (tiny, tiny, tiny) chapter

Disclaimer: We don't own Twilight or Naruto.

Last chapter:

I looked behind one of the curtains to see the hottest being on Earth. He was tall, with unruly bronze hair and was actually smiling at me. Or was it a smirk? No… he was so smiling! Suddenly, Sasuke disappeared in a puff of smoke. Well… not really, but to me, he did. This new guy was definitely the best looking guy in the world, despite his unnaturally pale skin. And his eyes! Oh, his eyes were the most exotic, seductive eyes I'd ever seen; beautiful golden orbs…

Sasuke's POV:

"Sakura..? Hello…?"

She wasn't paying any attention to me. I was about to confess to her, and she wasn't paying any attention at all!

What is she looking at anyway?

I followed Sakura's gaze and my mouth dropped. I frowned deeply, probably visibly fuming. Grrr.

"Ah… w-wh…" Was all that escaped my mouth.

Sakura was practically ogling at some deathly pale guy standing about 5 meters to our right. Seriously. He looked like a dead person, only… alive. There are no adjectives that describe how strange he was… yet, not strange. I could halfway understand why Sakura had taken such an interest. Ok. Only a small amount of my brain could rationally take in the situation, but it was overruled by the part of me that was just… angry. More than angry. Furious. Sakura was so excited to see me return; why, at the most inconvenient moment – just as I was about to confess my new found love for her – had he showed his… his… annoyingly perfect face. Argh.

Wait a minute, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. I mean, she could be staring at him because she thinks he's hideous! Maybe I still have a chance! Yes! I'll finish eating, walk her home, ask if I can come in, go into her room and… Oh, yesssss! But is that too forward on a first date? Well, she has loved me for about three years, so she should be happy with it! I mean, I have a nice face; a nice body. I'm farrrr better looking than him. And I'm sure my wiener is probably bigger.

My train of thought was rudely interrupted by a dark chuckle. How dar- Oh. It was it. Automatically, I turned to glare - after all, that wasn't an immensely uncommon occurrence for me; I always glared at people for no reason.

"I'm not hungry anymore," Sakura said rather distantly, as she was still ogling it. "See you later…"

And with that she walked off, no, not "off", to it. How could she? I'd never seen this heartless side to her! I decided to go home; it would be embarrassing to stay here by myself waiting for her.

As I walked out, I saw her trying to get it's attention. Flicking her short, pink, luxurious hair, clearing her throat slightly so you could almost hear that angelic voice of hers. She had broken my heart, but I could still admire her from afar anyway.

It didn't seem at all interested in her; he had another girl wrapped around his arm. She looked somewhat similar to it; the same pale skin, the same unnatural beauty… But her hair was brown, and of course, she was female.

There were a lot of other strange, similar people around them, with the exception of one muscular, dark skinned man, who looked about twenty five. He shifted his eyes about the place guilty, as if their presence in the village were his fault, because, clearly they didn't mean to come here.

Also, I noticed that the girl holding hands with him looked slightly more human than the rest. Other than that, I really couldn't take them in; I was too focused on the pain of rejection. All I could think was: "Who are these people?"

Unfortunately, my house was in the direction that they were drifting in, so I walked past them as fast as I could. I took one last glare at it to see he was smirking at me, as if I were amusing to him. Once I got round the corner, I bounded into my house and threw my forehead protector at the window. As I watched it smash, I felt like it wasn't the window, but my heart smashing into millions of delicate pieces. I lay on my bed and tried to sleep…

I woke up after about three hours sleep. I got out of bed, and before I even had I chance to take a step, I heard an annoying knocking sound coming from the door. I guessed it was probably Naruto; no one else could make such simple knocking on a door so terribly irritating.

I opened the door. Yep, it was Naruto.

"What?!" I almost growled at him. I didn't expect that he'd be surprised, though; I was usually like this in his presence. His brow furrowed slightly in concern, but it didn't last very long before his usual happy grin dominated his face. Wow. I must've sounded pretty bad. Whatever…

"Team Seven has to go see Tsunade. It looks like we have a mission!" Naruto was as excited as ever; he was always like this when we got a mission before, but I half expected him to have grown up a bit. Obviously, I was wrong.

"Team Seven… as in… with Sakura?" I didn't think I'd be able to see her again.

"Yeah.. By the way, how was the date?" Naruto looked slightly irritated; I figured he still had a crush on Sakura.

"I don't wanna talk about it, wait here." I shut the door and got ready, but it took me a lot longer than usual since I was under so much stress.

"Oi, Sasuke! Hurry up!" Stupid Naruto was being impatient. He really hadn't changed a bit.

After another ten minutes or so I got out of the house and locked the door, making sure Naruto didn't see the glass shattered on the floor.

"So, tell me about this mission," I said in a monotone as we began walking. I might as well get this mission over and done with so I can lock myself up in my room for a few days. Maybe if I act drastically enough, Sakura will get worried about me and forget about it. I could pretend to jump of a cliff or something—

My thoughts were interrupted by Naruto's voice.

"All we have to do is show some people around the village; there're about ten of them, so it'll take a while."

Ten? Weren't there about ten of those weird people standing with it?

"Have you met them yet?"

Naruto's excited expression dropped, "No…"

"Damn…"

We walked in silence for the rest of the trip to the Hokage Mansion. When we entered Tsunade's office, Sakura was already standing there. She looked so beautiful today; her face was glowing. She wasn't wearing her usual ninja clothes, instead she had a casual outfit on. It consisted of blue skinny jeans, and a plain, tight-fitting, pink t-shirt. Just looking at her made my heart ache, so I turned away, instead to glare angrily at the wall behind me.

"Sorry about ditching you yesterday, Sasuke." Sakura sounded apologetic.

"Whatever," I mumbled, still staring at the wall.

"It's nice to see you finally returned, Sasuke," Tsunade said, interrupting our conversation. "I'm sure Naruto has filled you in on the mission."

"Yeah."

"The Cullens are waiting at Ichiraku. I think it would be easier if you split up into groups. These people are from America, so we want to make a good impression." Tsunade took a swig of sake after her sentence.

"Yeah, I'm sure a drunk old lady as the Hokage will give a great impression." Naruto mummered rudely.

"What was that?!" Tsunade growled. Most people, including Naruto, would have been terrified of this attitude.

"Nothing.. Nothing.." Naruto saved himself.

"We should be going now." Sakura said as she headed towards the door. Naruto and I followed.

"I'm hungry," muttered Jacob, patting his growling stomach somewhat affectionately, murmuring unintelligible sweet phrases to it.

It was around midday, big, ominous clouds quickly moving in to dominant the perfect, azure blue sky. Our vampires would be safe for this one afternoon. They were all waiting around in the shade for their 'tour guides' to show up. Jacob hadn't eaten a thing since he was on the plane, an almost impossible feat for a werewolf.

"Here!" Renesmee exclaimed excitedly, getting up from her spot on one of the three grey rocks the Cullens were currently resting on, and handing him some chicken sushi. She'd been musing over all of his possible reactions to it all day long, and now seemed like a good time to see which one would win.

Jacob made a face, "What in the ducks who screech at people is that?!" He sniffed it curiously, before snatching it out of Nessie's small palm. "Seaweed?! When I said I was hungry, I really meant that I specifically wanted a three decked sandwich, one layer with ham and mustard, the next with deep fried catfish – all of the whiskers cut off – and soy sauce, and the final layer with 5 pieces of bacon, and French cheese."

After he'd finished his rant, Jacob threw the sushi to the ground furiously, and began to repetitively stomp on it. Nessie's face fell slightly, and she turned away from the wolf boy, muttering, "Good God…"

"Geez, mutt. Are you pregnant or something? Just eat the damn food," said Rosalie scornfully, flipping her long, blonde hair behind her shoulder.

"B-but it's seaweed…" Jacob wailed adorably.

Bella detangled herself from Edward and patted him on the back, "It's Ok. I didn't have much tolerance for sushi when I was human either. And besides, I'm sure our tour group will provide us with food, anyway." She wrinkled her nose a little at the thought of having to swallow human food.

Right on que, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura all showed up.

"You must be the tour guides," Bella said in Japanese, so Team 7 could understand.

"What? They're just a bunch of kids!" Jacob exclaimed angrily in English. Naruto flinched a bit, knowing that whatever he said must have been rude.

Renesmee was quick to translate to the ninjas.

"Why you-!" Naruto was about to go for Jacob, but was stopped by Sasuke, who was glaring at Edward…

"Let me introduce ourselves!" Alice perked up, rushing forward to greet them. "I'm Alice." She said, smiling. She turned her pixie head to the couple making out in the shade under the tree. "That's Emmett and Rosalie…" She gestured toward everyone else and introduced them accordingly, "Edward, Bella, Jacob, Renesmee." Smiling fondly at the tall, leonine, blonde, "And this is my lover, Jasper. Carlisle and Esme seem to have gone off… Anyway, it's nice to meet you. By the way, Jacob doesn't speak Japanese, incase you were wondering."

The girl with the pink hair stepped forward to introduce her group:

"I'm Haruno Sakura, this is Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto," Sakura said with a polite smile. "It's nice to meet you too."

"We'll be showing you around Konohagakure," Sasuke said coldly, glaring daggers at Edward.

~ ^/-\^ ~

"This is the hospital," Sakura said, pointing to a large building with lots of big windows. Sasuke had been glaring at Edward the whole time, and hadn't really been much use on the mission. Naruto pointed out a few things, but mainly tried to give a good impression towards Renesmee, much to Jacobs frustration. Naruto was taking quite a liking to the young half vampire. Really, the only one doing any work was Sakura, but even she was just trying to make a good impression on Edward. She would also occasionally glare at Bella.

All through the afternoon I followed them through the familiar village, until eventually I grew bored and went back to gathering acorns for my ever growing collection under Kiba's pillow.

Jacob's POV:

That stupid blonde in the orange suit was crushing on Renesmee. I mean, he was hitting on her all afternoon.

"Stop exaggerating, Jake." Edward murmured from behind me. "At the moment, he's just thinking about how beautiful she is. Nothing more."

Pffft. As if. But I wasn't going to wast my time arguing with Edward; I needed to keep a close eye on pumpkin guy.

As the pink haired chick rambled on in Japanese about some building which looked like three giant mushrooms in the shape of Mickey Mouse, I watched Nessie closely for signs that she liked him too.

Because she was a genuinely kind person – well, vampire-human – she was letting him talk in her ear as he excitedly pointed to some carvings of faces in the ridge above the Mickey Mouse Mushroom mansion. But I thought that she looked a bit too interested as she chatted animatedly with him about something. For the billionth time since we arrived here, I wish I spoke that language.

"Hey, Edward…" I said slowly, tapping him on the shoulder. He turned to me and raised one eyebrow as he read what I was thinking.
