Angel's Touch

Artemis: *bounces around Naruto’s apartment* TA DO DAAA!!!! Happy Halloween peeps! Welcome backstage and behind the curtains of Angel’s Touch! Naturally, I’m your host Artemis-sensei and today’s party will take place in Naruto’s living room.

I’ve been preparing the snacks and stuff before our guests arrive, so please um…bare with me. Especially the burnt food… eh heh. ^^’ *sucks at cooking*

*doorbell rings*

Artemis: ACK! Someone’s early!? @.@ *runs over and opens the door* SHIKAMARU!?!?!?!?

Shikamaru: *grumbles*

Artemis: What are you doing here so early?

Shikamaru: It’s to troublesome coming late.

Artemis: ……

Shikamaru: ………

Artemis: …that’s so oc.

Shikamaru: Possibly. But do you fans truly understand what we could possibly be thinking?

Artemis: *blinks in confusion* Uh……no?

Shikamaru: Point made. *walks in and sprawls out on the couch*

Artemis: *still a little confused* Ok… *closes door and looks at Shikamaru* So, Shiky! Where have you been the entire story?

Shikamaru: *shrugs* It’s a waste of energy to make an appearance. And don’t call me that…

Artemis: *grins evilly* SHIKY!!!! ^_^

Shikamaru: *grumbles*

Artemis: Hey, where’s your costume! It’s Halloween.

Shikamaru: This is my costume…

Artemis: Um… *looks at Shikamaru who’s wearing his usual clothes* No it’s not. Those are your normal clothes.

Shikamaru: Is to.

Artemis: *scowls and rests her hands on her hips* Fine! What are you supposed to be then?

Shikamaru: ……a cosplayer.

Artemis: *sweatdrops* Let me guess…you’re cosplaying yourself?

Shikamaru: Yep.

Artemis: *hangs her head in defeat* …lazy bastard…

*doorbell rings again*

Artemis: Great. Hope that’s Naruto! ^^ *opens the door and shrieks, moving to close it*

Sakura: OH NO YOU DON’T!!! *puts foot in the way and shoves the door open, then walks in with Ino.*

Artemis: What are you two doing here!?! I didn’t invite you!

Sakura: *dressed as a nurse, she turns looking ready to kill her* Why haven’t we made a reappearance in the story!?

Ino: *dressed as a maid* And why is that blonde prick clinging all over my Sasuke!?

Artemis: *cowers in the corner* Um…Um…Um…well…

Sasuke: Because you’re both annoying…

*all three girls turn and look at the door, two shocked by the sight before them to shriek fangirlishly.*

Naruto: *wearing a kitsune costume* HIYA Everyone! Sorry we’re late but Sasuke was being difficult about the super cool costumes I picked for us!

Sasuke: *looks away blushing out of embarrassment, dressed in a black cat costume*

Artemis: *about to burst*

Sasuke: Don’t you dare… *glares*

Neji: *pops up dressed as a groom from a wedding* Nice tail, Sasuke-baka. *snickers*

Sasuke: *turns a deep red and looks ready to murder* NEJI! What the fuck are you doing here you snake bait bastard!?!

Neji: *tsks* You shouldn’t use language like that around Naruto-chan. Besides, Arty invited me.

Sasuke: *glares at Artemis*

Artemis: *eeps and hides behind Neji*

Naruto: *completely oblivious to anything wrong* Sasuke has a cute tail! *glomps Sasuke*

Sasuke: *blushes red again*

Neji: *eye twitches, then he quickly grabs Naruto and drags him away from Sasuke* Naruto-chan, surely you’d rather hug someone other then Sasuke. He’s so stiff.

Naruto: *blinks blondely* But I like hugging Sasuke.

Neji: But I’m sure you’d find you’d much rather hug someone softer. Like…oh I know! You can hug me, Naruto-chan. *heart*

Sasuke: *jealousy flares* TAKE YOUR HANDS OF HIM, SNAKE BAIT!!!!

Naruto: *still oblivious to what’s really happening here*

Neji: Why? I have as much right as anyone else to touch Naruto.

Sasuke: To hell you do!!

Neji: What? Only you can touch him?

Sasuke: Artemis!

Artemis: *eeps* What!? He’s got a point Sasuke!

Neji: That’s right. Unless he’s your boyfriend…

Sasuke: *turns deep red in the face* I-Is…is not!

Shikamaru: Then why are you acting so jealous?

Sasuke: *is deadpanned* I am not jealous!!!

Artemis: *giggles in amusement* Sasuke’s jealous!!!!!

Sasuke: AM NOT!!! >_<

Naruto: *frowns and goes over, hugging Sasuke* Don’t be jealous, Sasuke! I’m your guardian angel and no one elses!

Neji: *growls jealously*

Sasuke: *continues blushing madly, but otherwise smirks smugly at Neji*

Sakura and Ino: Again we’re ignored…

Artemis: Aren’t you two gone yet?

Sakura: *glares death lasers at her*

Artemis: EEP!!! O.O

*Hinata, Kakashi, and Iruka walk in just then*

Kakashi: My, my…looks like the party started without us.

Artemis: KAKASHI-SENSEI!!! *grins and glomps him*

Kakashi: *smiles merrily* Hello, Arty. I see Sasuke is doing Icha Icha actions with Naruto.

Naruto: Huh?

Sasuke: *nearly has a nose bleed* WE ARE NOT!!!

Kakashi: If you say so, Sasuke-kun. *smiles wryly*

Sasuke: *looks either ready to die from embarrassment or kill Kakashi*

Iruka: *frowns* Kakashi, could you please refrain from your perversity for one night?

Kakashi: *grins devilishly at him* Awe…but I thought you liked my perversity, Iruka-chan. *heart*

Iruka: W-What?

Kakashi: Have you already forgotten our little romp in the teacher’s lounge?

Iruka: *deadpanned and blushing*

Artemis: *jaw drops in shock* Woah…what!?!

Sasuke: Don’t ask…cause I really don’t want to find out… >_>

Hinata: *blushes from the embarrassing topic being discussed*

Artemis: *blinks, then squeals and glomps Hinata* Hinata-chan! You’re so cute dressed as a bunny!!!

Hinata: *blushes more* Th-Thank you…

Sakura: *sweatdrops* Someone’s a Hinata fan…

Artemis: *glares at Sakura for a change* Hey! Hinata is cute! I’d love to have a little sister like her. ^^

Hinata: ^_^

Ino: Riiggghhhttt…

Naruto: *looks curiously at Kakashi* Kakashi-sensei…why are you wearing Sasuke’s school’s staff uniform?

Kakashi: *smiles merrily* Actually, it’s the school’s nurse/doctor uniform. ^^

*everyone but Kakashi turns their gaze on Artemis*

Artemis: *blinks* What?

Iruka: Artemis…no…you didn’t…

Sasuke: You’re not serious…

Neji: You can’t possibly!

Artemis: WHAT!? *is confused now*

Kakashi: *chuckles evilly, adjusting his white gloves* Oh yes…she’s going to.

Artemis: WHAT!?! Will someone please tell me what!?

Naruto: YEAH! You mean Kakashi-sensei’s staying!?!!

Artemis: *blinks* Oh that. Shhh! You guys! I told you, no spoilers!!! >__<

Sasuke: You’re making him the school doctor!?

Neji: That pervert!?!?!

Artemis: *grins innocently*

Kakashi: I’ll be seeing you all for your yearly physicals…specially you, Naruto. *smirks evilly behind the doctor mask, two fingers held up and gleaming evilly*

Sasuke: *glares murderously at Kakashi and holds Naruto tightly to him*

Ino: I’m so getting a school transfer now. -__-‘

Sasuke: Good…one less annoying bitch.

Everyone but Naruto: SASUKE!! ENOUGH WITH THE LANGUAGE!!!

Iruka: Artemis…please, seriously reconsider this. He’s a pervert!

Neji: Obviously you’d know. *looks at Iruka with a sweatdrop*

Iruka: *nearly swallows his tongue at the accusation* OxO

Artemis: Now, now, guys. Kakashi is a high ranking angel. He can’t be that bad.

*serious doubts afloat*

*doors flies open just then, Shino standing there looking…Shino-ish*

Shino: Oi…you’re being too noisy.

Artemis: SHINO-KUN!!! *glomps him*

Naruto: BUG MAN!!! *glomps him to*

*Sasuke and Neji both look obviously jealous*

Shino: *eye twitches behind his glasses* What have I told you two about this?

Artemis: *sweatdrops* Uh…not to glomp you?

Naruto: *laughs* Awe, we know you love us, bug man! *slaps Shino on the back before bouncing over to the table* Ramen?

Artemis: *lets Shino go* There’s ramen by the cookies, Naruto. You know I’d never forget you. ^^

Naruto: ^^

Artemis: Might as well join us, Shino-kun.

Shino: *shrugs and closes the door behind him, heading over to sit down on the couch*

Sasuke: *looks at the food and sweatdrops* Did Naruto cook again?

Naruto: *shakes his head* No…I was to busy getting that cat suit on you.

*Kakashi and Artemis both cover a bloody nose at the naughty mental image*

Sasuke: *catches them both in the act and gives them murderous glares*

Artemis: Actually…I cooked them. ^^’

*everyone that had a snack quickly puts them down for fear of food poisoning.*

Artemis: *pouts*

Naruto: *eats the ramen happily, oblivious as usual*

Kakashi: Oh by the way, Artemis. I found this trick or treat bag outside addressed to you. *hands her the bag*

Artemis: *takes it with a blink and sits down, opening and looking inside* WOAH! It’s reviews!!!!!

Neji: You mean people review this stupid story?

Hinata: Neji-niisan…I don’t think it’s stupid. I…I think it’s pretty good… *pokes fingers together*

Neji: It is stupid. The end pairing is Sasuke and my Naruto-chan. *huffs*

Sasuke: *smirks smugly and sits down beside Naruto*

Artemis: Oh…stop it, Neji.

Neji: You like him more, don’t you! *looks tearful*

Artemis: Neji-san…you know I like you! But…yeah…I’m a sucker through and through for Sasunaru. ^^

Sasuke: Heh…in your face, snake bait.

Neji: *glares* I wish that attack had killed you!

Sasuke: *glares back* I wish you’d killed yourself!!!!

*the two boys prepare to tear throats*

Kakashi and Iruka: *sighs and intervenes, Kakashi holding Sasuke back in an arm lock and Iruka doing much the same with Neji*

Naruto: *raises his hand* Um…Can I ask a question? What are you guys talking about?

*everyone sweatdrops*

Shikamaru: Troublesome…

Sakura: You said it…

Artemis: *frowns* Ok! Everyone, sit down. It’s reviewer response time! Neji…Sasuke…both of you sit down and behave or I swear I’ll give Naruto to you-know-who!!

Naruto: Voldemort? *blink* *blink*

*more sweatdrops*

Artemis: Naruto…stay out of my book collection.

Naruto: *pouts*

Kakashi: Exactly who is you-know-who anyways?

Artemis: *shakes her head viciously* NO! No more spoilers! And Sasuke and Neji know who I’m talking about, so that’s enough.

Neji: *slumps in his chair, still glaring at Sasuke*

Sasuke: *sits down as well with a prominent scowl, seething unhappily*

Naruto: *frowns and hugs Sasuke trying to make him feel better*

Artemis: *hangs her head* Now I know why I’ve kept all you people away from large groups.

Hinata: A-Artemis-chan…maybe…maybe answering reviews will make you feel better?

Artemis: *perks up* You’re right Hinata-chan! Reviews always make me feel better. ^_^ Ok guys! Settle down and let’s start. The first review is… *reaches into the bag and pulls out a piece of torn paper* …naruto uzumaki…

----------------
“Very cool fic I love it please continue writing and if at all possible could u have Shino dress as a praying mantis and shikamaru as a sloth since he's lazy as hell anyways”
----------------

*long dead silence*

Shino: *narrows eyes* You do and you die…

Artemis: *sweatdrops and smiles nervously* Um…KAKASHI!

Kakashi: *turns out the lights in the apartment*

*scuffling is heard, shouts, enraged obscenities, squeals from no doubt Naruto and the girls, and cat calls from Kakashi naturally*

After a while…

*lights click back on to reveal Shikamaru in a sloth outfit, and Artemis unconscious on the ground with beetles crawling off her while Shino calmly sits in his chair in normal clothes, eating some potato chips*

Kakashi: *sweatdrops* Oh my…

Iruka: Well…Artemis looks…out for a while. So…should we continue the reviews?

Neji: I say we kill off Sasuke.

Sasuke: Fuck you.

Everyone but Naruto: SASUKE!!!!!

Naruto: *pokes Artemis with a chopstick* Arty-chan?

Shikamaru: *looks at himself, then shrugs and rests his head in his hand with a yawn* Troublesome...

Artemis: *finally recovers after a bit and pulls herself up onto the couch slowly and painfully* Well…um…*fixes her hair best she can and tries to stop shaking* I guess the Shikamaru request was possible…mostly cause he’s to lazy to struggle…but I believe Shino has made his point… *glances nervously at the bug man*

Shino: *adjusts his glasses*

Artemis: Um…ok…how about the next, hopefully less dangerous review? ^^ *pulls out another paper from her bag* Um…from Nomme de Plume…

-----------------
“you know, I realized I was wrong before I got to the replies ^___^;; I guess just because every other snake mentioned on aff is Orochimaru, I just jumped to conclusions! haha anyway, I really did like this chapter, but what I want to know is... how the hell did Sasuke get out of that closet?!”
-----------------

*everyone looks at Sasuke*

Sasuke: *sweatdrops and looks at his feet* Err…well…

Kakashi: *chuckles* If it helps, Sasuke got the bill last night for the damage.

Naruto: Sasuke! You broke their door!?

Sasuke: *huffs* As if you hadn’t done worse. >_>

Naruto: *blinks in confusion* Nani?

Kakashi: Forget it Naruto. It’s nothing to worry about. ^^

Naruto: What did Sasuke mean?

Artemis: Don’t worry Naruto. *sweatdrops* Ok…how about next review? Eh heh…

Neji: *glares disapprovingly at Sasuke* Barbarian…

Sasuke: *glares back* demon spawn…

Kakashi: Enough you two. *sighs*

Artemis: Ok! Geez…next review. >_< The next review is Donedin! ^^

----------
“O.o, wow, that was awesome! I like the fact that Sasuke can "connect with the spirit realm" or whatever.. and I hate to say this, but it kinda sounded cheese. Don't take this the wrong way! I love you and your work, but... I dunno. Just something about the way you introduced that part.... Again I’m sorry @_@. A question...hummm. Is Kakashi and Michael getting it on? If not, you should throw that in as a side! :D please post soon, ill be waiting! ^_^”
-----------

Artemis: *pouts depressingly* Is not cheesy…

Kakashi: Actually…I found it more apple myself.

Naruto: RAMEN!!! ^^

*everyone looks at Kakashi and Naruto and sweatdrops*

Iruka: Is Kakashi and Michael getting it on? *nerve pops up and he turns a stern teacher gaze on Kakashi*

*everyone now looks at Kakashi*

Kakashi: *sweatdrops* Well now…that’s rather personal. I mean…the answer depends solely on the question. Getting it on as in once or twice or…possible three times, or getting it on as in steady dating. Two very different subjects.

Naruto: Kakashi, is Michael another one of your special friends?

Sasuke: WHAT! Naruto…how do you know about…KAKASHI!!! *glares at him*

Kakashi: I didn’t tell him anything! *pouts*

Naruto: No, no! Kakashi has special friends and they play together. Special friends are like best friends, but more special. At least…that’s what Kakashi-sensei told me when I asked.

Kakashi: I swear to you…you couldn’t give this boy a real sex talk even if you have the proper visual examples. *knocks on his head as a gesture meaning ‘he’s that thick’*

Naruto: *looks confused at this*

Artemis: *giggles in amusement*

Iruka: *looks plainly jealous* Are you ‘getting it on’ with him, Hatake Kakashi!?

Kakashi: *chuckles nervously* Well now, love…don’t be like that.

Iruka: *taps his foot patiently*

Kakashi: Ok…we did do it once or twice. But it was just for fun…nothing like what we have Iruka-koi! I swear, I haven’t touched a single person since us…well…ok…aside from the time I groped that girl at the bar. But that’s all!!!!

Artemis: And you call yourself an angel.

Iruka: *is plainly seething now* LUST. Lust, Hatake Kakashi. It’s one of those seven deadly sins. Remember!? *turns and storms into the bathroom to keep himself from killing Kakashi*

Kakashi: ACK! Iruka-koi! Wait! Come on…you know I love you! *runs after him*

Neji: Someone’s sleeping on the couch tonight…

Sasuke: *nods in agreement*

Naruto: *is confused and turns to Sasuke* Sasuke…is Iruka Kakashi’s special friend to?

Sasuke: *sweatdrops* Just…don’t worry about that, Naruto. >_<

Artemis: Poor Kakashi…anyways, next review!!! ^^ *pulls out the next piece of paper* From coll33n3rin…

------------
“Keep up the excellent work. Love Naruto as an angel.
Sasuke is so open... I'm getting used to it as you write it well.
It's refreshing, I guess. Thanks for updating so quickly and
thank you also for the fic.”
------------

Artemis: *sweatdrops*

Sasuke: *blushes and sweatdrops*

Shikamaru: You know…you have been more emotional since Naruto came along.

Sasuke: Just shut up…

Naruto: =^___^=

Artemis: Heh…next review… ^^ *pulls out next paper* From rasengan22…

-------------
“wow, you write really great action and that was a big action scene, as in lots of space to work with. i like what you did with them going through beams and rafters and colliding through walls. made it easy to see. ooh and i really like the idea of those saint beast thingers in this story and naruto's one of them. does he know that? i guess i'll find out, huh. and as for the halloween bit. oh but lol btw i love how sasuke wanted to strangle someone when naru was comforting hinata. i honestly can't get enough of jealous sasuke. but seriously, how the hell DOES naruto manage to burn cereal? and even if it is a dramatic change to action, it's still cute and fluffy. and i was worried when sasu got hurt (also have issues with angst stories sometimes) but since it mirrored the whole haku/zabuza battle it was nice. i like when things in au's happen very similar to the anime ^__^ i hope you'll occasionally return to fluff, but i like your plot hehe makes me wanna cheer for naruto to get his halo soon.”
--------------

Naruto: I’m what? *blinks*

Sasuke: I AM NOT JEALOUS!!! >___<

Artemis: EEE!! *covers Naruto’s ears* Thank you! I really enjoy writing action scenes, especially when I get the right music in my winamp and plenty of sugar to keep me going. That and I love the fighting scene because Naruto fights very animalistic in Saint Beast form. I wanted to put more fox into his actions and more life into his tails, which I feel they kinda didn’t do in battles in the Naruto anime. I mean, when Naruto’s fox demonish, I want him to fight like a fox demon. =) And it was even mentioned that the chakra tails seemed to act with a life of their own. So I had a lot of fun putting that into the battle scene.

*everyone looks at Artemis with sweatdrops. Naruto still looks confused, specially because he can’t hear Artemis’s rambling*

Artemis: *finally let’s Naruto’s ears free* As for the burnt cereal thing. He can burn cereal like I managed to burn Macaroni while it was still in the water in the pot. ^^ And of course there will be fluff!!!

*everyone groans but Naruto and Hinata*

Artemis: *glares at them all* This story is about 75% fluff and 25% action/drama.

Naruto: What happened! What are you guys hiding from me? *pouts*

Sasuke: *pulls Naruto into his lap and shakes his head* Really Naruto. Just…don’t worry. We’ll tell you later.

Naruto: *pouts* O-Ok… *rests his head on Sasuke’s shoulder*

Neji: *growls jealously*

Artemis: *squeals for a moment* Ok! Next review before Neji goes after someone’s throat. ^^ *pulls out next review* Ok, from lauryl…

------------------
“This story is so great! I like how you incorporated folklore...and explained it, i find that kind of stuff really interesting. Also, it's funny that you have a real archangel as a character. It's like a naruto/bible crossover! hahahahaha.

Anyway, this chapter was really good, please update soon!”
------------------

Artemis: Hmm…thank you. But you know, I didn’t plan on this being all religious. It’s just angel and demon stuff. Yes, there’s god and archangels and Naruto preaching about god loving people, but I don’t want anyone to think this story is all about a religion. That’s why I’ve got Japanese folklore in here to and magic and perverted angels *glances at Kakashi who’s trying to coax Iruka out of the bathroom* and yaoi and stuff. ^^ Think of this more like Saint Beasts (actual anime), Angel Sanctuary, that sort of anime bible stuff that’s there but not…churchy. Not that you mean that with your review. I just want to say that now in case anyone ever gets mad at me for my story’s content. ^^

Now…next review! *pulls another note out* From Miko hanyou…

-------------------
“Great chapter indeed! I got a question for the next chapter, For naruto: How was it like to be in the academy? Where you a good student or a troublemaker?
--------------------

Artemis: Well Naruto? What is Angel Academy like?

Naruto: *smiles hyperly, bouncing in Sasuke’s lap* It was super awesome! Aside from the homework and the boring lectures of course! There were lots of other new fledglings like me and we all had several teachers. Each teacher taught a certain class. There was chakra control class, physical combat class, flying class, chakra technique class, universal history class, and math. *makes a face at the last one*

Sasuke: *tries to contain his blush and stop Naruto’s bouncing on his lap* Obviously not cooking class though…

Naruto: *stops bouncing with a pout* Nope.

Artemis: *giggles at poor Sasuke* Well, were you a good student Naruto?

Naruto: HAH! I was the best!!!

Kakashi: *returns looking pouty and overhears the conversation, rolling his eyes* Hardly…Naruto graduated with the worst scores. He was also always getting into trouble and giving all of his teachers a hard time. He’s quite the handful…

Naruto: *falls off Sasuke’s lap and onto his face with a sweatdrop*

Shikamaru: Somehow…I’m not surprised.

Artemis: *chuckles* Well, guess that answered that question. Next review… *pulls out next paper* From…Anna… ^^

----------
“Wheeee I liked this chapter!
Naruto is one of the sacred beasts! (does a happy dance) I guess he's the phoenix right?
I love you!
Question for Sasuke!
Do you plan to let Naruto know that you really care for him? (I think that he'll eventually fall in love with him) So do you plan to tell him, or it should be almost beat out of you?”
------------

*everyone quickly jumps to cover Naruto’s ears as Artemis reads the review*

Naruto: *blinks and pouts, finding himself again left out of the conversation*

Artemis: Heh… *sweatdrop* boy, lots of saint beast questions. Well, actually, I’m changing the ‘official’ beasts a little for the story. Naruto’s actually still the Kyuubi no Kitsune. And he’s wind element, as appropriate with the manga and anime. ^^

Sasuke: *reads the last part and dies* X__x

Sakura: ACK! Sasuke-kun!!!

Artemis: Ugh…I think the answer is kinda no, but kinda yes. In fact, I’m not sure Sasuke’s aware that he’s in love with Naruto…he’s finally admitting to caring for Naruto deeply though. Heh…as for admitting it? Who knows…but…um…can someone revive Sasuke?

Kakashi: I got it. *goes over and brings Sasuke back to life*

Sasuke: *slowly crawls back into a sitting position on the couch, looking pale and shocked silly*

Artemis: *pats Sasuke’s head softly, then looks at everyone piled on Naruto on the floor* I think it’s safe to let Naruto go now.

Neji: *heart*

Artemis: You two, Neji.

Neji: *pouts and gets up*

Naruto: X___x

Artemis: Kakashi…could you.

Kakashi: *sighs* Yeah, yeah…on it…

Artemis: Ok…next review was a one worder from Artume, but fully appreciated none the less. Thank you…glad you find this cute. ^_^ Now…next review. Oh good guys, just two more and you’re all free to scram.

*way to enthusiastic cheers come from everyone in the room but Naruto, who’s still being recovered by Kakashi*

Artemis: *glares at them all annoyed* Hmph…anyways, the next review is from Yuri-san…

------------
“Whoo, hoo!! That was awsome/well written! Yay for angel/demon battles XD *cough*andhugginginclosets*cough*
While I was reading about the Saint-Beast thing I couldn't help but squeal in my mind "OMFG Gaara's gonna be a saint-beast!!!" ...he is, right? O_O;

Okay, I know this might seem like a stupid question to ask him -since this is a shonen-ai fic- but since nothing has really "happened" yet I think it could be really funny to ask Sasuke: "Are you gay?" Other than that (or more like INCLUDING that lol) I can only think of really strange/dumb (XD) questions like:"Neji, how do you keep your hair so silky smooth?"(lmao) or:"Naruto, what would you do if all the ramen in the universe dissapeared?" *Naruto commits seppuku at the mere thought*
I don't know about the Sasuke one, but the Neji one I DEFINATELY want to know! XXDD;;;;; The Naruto one is just a joke XD
So, to clarify, I want to ask Neji ^that^ question. :D”
-------------

Sasuke: *blushes at being reminded of the closet scene*

Artemis: *giggles* That was so cute, and so amazingly hard to type up actually. That little closet incident. ^^ As for Gaara…well…don’t think I haven’t forgotten my third favorite Naruto character. ^^

Sasuke: I thought I was your favorite.

Naruto: Me to! *pout*

Kakashi: Arty-chan… *gives her the hurt puppy look*

Neji: *hangs his head unhappily*

Shino: *adjusts his glasses*

Hinata: *pokes her fingers together with a small frown*

Shikamaru: *snores*

Artemis: *sweatdrop* OH GOD DAMNIT! *throws her arms up in the air* Ok, Ok…I love you all. But Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi, and Gaara all sort of tie up, with Naruto and Sasuke winning just barely. Now…first character question. Sasuke…are you gay?

Sasuke: *still barely recovered from previous shock* WHAT!?!?! *dies*

Artemis: Oh boy…

Kakashi: *sigh* On it...

Neji: *snickers* Fairy...

Artemis: Shut it, Neji. You’re one to talk.

Neji: *looks equivalent to having been slapped just then* O_O

Naruto: Ugh…what’s Neji mean?

Sakura: You’re so stupid, Naruto… *sighs*

Naruto: *pouts at that*

Artemis: Well…I’ll answer. Yes. Pretty much everyone in this room but Shikamaru here and the girls are gay.

*all guys look shocked speechless at this revelation except Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke who’s already died from the shock*

Artemis: But as you can tell, most of them have yet to come out of denial or the closet.

Shino: *frowns* Who am I with?

Artemis: I’m still plotting that, Shino sweety. ^^

Shino: *hangs his head*

Kakashi: Everyone should know right now…Arty-chan is a terribly obsessive yaoi fan and Naruto anime happens to have too many good looking guys with close relationships for her not to slash. And knowing her obsession with it, Shino…

Neji: *groans* Tell me you’re not going to bring in the dog boy...

Artemis: If I find a way, I’m bringing all of rookie nine in. *grins evilly*

Neji: *pales* Dear god…please say not Lee.

Artemis: But Lee-san’s so adorable. ^_^

Neji: NO! No more!!! >_<

Artemis: Ok, ok. I take it back. Whatever I do plan to do and whoever I do bring in is not for you guys to know yet. So live with the foreboding paranoia! MUAHAHA!!! You MAY BE SLASHED NEXT!!!

Everyone: @_@

Artemis: Ok…next question Yuri-san really didn’t mean to ask, but I’m curious to. What would you do if there was no ramen in the universe, Naruto?

Naruto: *looks ready to cry at the mere thought*

Neji: LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!! *goes to hug Naruto* Shhh…it’s ok, Naruto-chan. There will always be ramen because I’ll never let it go out.

Naruto: Really? Thanks, Neji-baka…you’re so nice when you’re not possessed by demon snakes. ^^

Neji: ^^

Sasuke: *revived again and looming over Neji ready to strangle him*

Artemis: *sighs* Kakashi…please restrain Sasuke.

Kakashi: Am I getting paid overtime for this? *sighs and grabs Sasuke in another arm lock*

Neji: *smirks smugly at the fuming Sasuke, making a show of his and Naruto’s hug*

Artemis: *sighs* Ok, last question of Yuri-san’s. Neji…how do you keep your hair so silky soft?

Neji: *blinks, then smirks charmingly* Why…that’s simply. I use Herbal Essence!!! *holds up the shampoo bottle and snaps his fingers. Suddenly the living room scene is gone and we see Neji doing the Herbal Essence shower scene under the water, Kakashi thankfully managing to hold up a censor board since most of the cast including Sasuke are to horrified by the scene to do anything*

Naruto: WEEE!! SHOWER!!!! ^_^ *rushes to join Neji*

Sasuke: *panics at this and comes out of his horror paralysis* NARUTO! NO!!! *tackles Naruto down and holds him down*

Naruto: *blinks and pouts in confusion* But showers are fun!

Sasuke: No, Naruto. Remember what happened last time?

Naruto: But that was because I squeezed soap into my eyes…………hey! Let’s shower together again, Sasuke!! *smiles and hugs Sasuke happily*

Sasuke: *blushes and almost dies of a nose bleed*

Neji: *stops the commercial and bares his teeth at the couple jealously* What do you mean…AGAIN!?

Kakashi: *sighs and restrains Neji this time* Apparently Sasuke HAS done Icha Icha actions with Naruto. ^^

Sasuke: DID NOT!!! >_<

Artemis: *dies giggling, but manages to snap her fingers and change the scenery back to Naruto’s living room*

Shino: That was just…wrong…

Artemis: Ok, ok. Last question guys, then you can all run free. ^^ *pulls out the last review* From Kajia…

--------------------------
“aaaah being an angel just fit Naruto so weeelllll
I can imagine him in white with two big white wings so kawaaiiiiiiiii
well your fic is really cute I love all these story with angels demon etc
and it was really a good idea to explain the hierarchy in heaven and explain some things on the japanese folklore
the last part reminded me of Tokyo babylon a lot ^^(I like this manga...well except for the end )

a few questions for your characters
to sasuke : where does that obession for cleanng come from? and do by any any hasards have a sweet tooth? if not how come you know so much how to cook desserts when you have no one to cook them for??"
to naruto : "do you angels get old with time or are you going to remain an adorable little blond angel all your (after)life? oh and...could you possibly send me a full cupboard of chocolate with your magic? ^^"
to kakashi "exactly who have you paid to be accepted as an angel? don't tell me that no-one has caught you reading yur perverted book yet..."
-------------------------

*everyone quickly tackles and covers both Naruto and Sasuke’s ears*

Artemis: *cough* Well…to answer the first question to Sasuke and not depress Sasuke with the matter…Sasuke got his obsessive-compulsive cleaning habit from his past…which we saw in the last chapter. Mainly, his family got killed while he was hiding in the closet where his mom put him. Basically, I gave enough hint as to why. I mentioned in the previous chapter before the last chapter of blood being everywhere in Sasuke’s mind. His parents did not die cleanly. So Sasuke subconsciously must clean up messes because they always bring up the memory of all the blood. Sometimes mental stuff like OCD can occur because of a traumatic event in ones life. *took psychology class in high school and enjoyed it. ^^*

Hinata: A-And…yes…Sasuke-kun loves sweets… ^^

Artemis: Ok guys. Let em go.

*everyone gets off Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke looked more then a little pissed and ruffled and Naruto pouting unhappily at being left out again*

Kakashi: I can answer the second question. Angels grow to about their twenties and then stop. Mostly because our souls appear twenty one despite the age of our bodies. So angels that are old that come to heaven return to their twenty-one year old looking selves, and angels not yet that age continue to age and grow till they reach that appearance/age.

Artemis: *nods sagely* Yes…hint why angels are always young and beautiful in appearance.

Naruto: *attempts to send chocolate using magic, but fails and pouts unhappily*

Kakashi: Oh…and chakra doesn’t work in the way that we could send chocolate over long distances. But UPS does! ^_^

Artemis: Awe yes…words of wisdom again, Kakashi-sensei. ^^

Kakashi: And as for your question…I have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t own any such type of books. All my reading material is purely educational.

*everyone looks at him and sweatdrops*

Sasuke: Yeah…sex educational…

Kakashi: I’m sorry, did you say something, Sasuke? *makes movement with his two fingers*

Sasuke: *pales* N-No…nothing… O_O

Kakashi: Now if you will all excuse me, I have to go use chakra to open the bathroom door and make up with Iruka-chan. ^^ *skips off*

Shino: *raises eyebrow* Did he just skip?

Neji: *nods* Yep…he skipped…

Sakura: Again we were ignored.

Artemis: You two weren’t invited though.

Ino and Sakura: *glares lethally at her*

Artemis: Eeep! O.O

Sasuke: Are we done yet?

Artemis: YEP! Everyone’s free to go now. ^^

*loud cheers*

Artemis: *falls on her face with a sweatdrop*

Naruto: Sasuke! Let’s go take a shower!!! ^_^

Sasuke: *blushes* Uh…well…

Naruto: *already dragging Sasuke to the door*

Neji: NOW JUST WAIT A MINUTE!! *chases after them both*

Iruka: GET THE HELL OUT OF THE BATHROOM!!!!

Kakashi: Oh don’t be like that, Iruka-koi. *heart*

Artemis: *sighs* Oh boy...

Hinata-chan: Um…night. *bows and heads out*

*others follow and soon Artemis is left alone, save Kakashi and Iruka in the bathroom doing god only knows what*

Artemis: Well…that was interesting. I guess I’m off to write the next chapter. ^^ Review guys! Cause reviews make me happy, and a few of the characters happy, and plenty of chaos to keep us entertained and inspired!!! ^_______^

AND HAPPY HALLOWEEEN!!! *tosses the review bag and candy flies everywhere*
