*~*~*~*

“I wonder why Naruto called us all to meet him today,” Choji mused, raising an eyebrow at the group before staring at his friend. Shikamaru just snorted next to him and shook his head as he leant back into the couch that they had sat on. Asuma shrugged, unlit cigarette twitching as he watched as Iruka scowl at Kakashi, the man once more buried into his book. Yamato was snickering with a sketching Sai who had taken over a spot on the floor, while Ino grumbled about wanting to go home, and pain in the ass, late to his own meeting blonds.

“I’m hardly that late, Ino-chan,” Naruto stated as he and Ibiki stepped back into his office, raising an eyebrow at her. “Ibiki-san and I had gone out to breakfast, and were rather enjoying not having to deal with people.”

“Wanna tell us why you called us right after a mission? This had better be important to come in on my day off, Naruto, because I want to go back home,” Ino said, crossing her arms. She watched as Naruto walked around the new temporary furniture over to Ibiki’s desk and perched on the edge of it while Ibiki himself just sat behind said desk, leaning back in his chair.

“Tell me, when have I ever called a meeting without having a very good reason?” Naruto asked as he settled onto his perch, bunching his coat up so that he didn’t sit on it.

“He’s right, so shut up and sit down, Ino. We all want to stay home after that bullshit mission, but this must be important if he’s dragging us out of bed,” Shikamaru said, his voice bored, but his eyes sharp. The rest of the group stared at him for a few moments, Iruka hiding a smirk behind his coffee cup, before they turned to Naruto.

“You would be right, Shikamaru-kun,” Naruto chirped, shrugging with a smile at the other male, getting a knowing look from the shadow user. “So, Haruno officially went over the deep end on us. She did some human experimentation on me, which has taken my merged chakra and gave it physical form,” he said, tugging his hood down, the blond enjoying his ears twitching before he smirked at the reactions of those around him.

Asuma choked on spit as his cigarette dropped into his lap, his eyes watching Naruto as he reached down to pick up the cigarette, eyes watching the twitching eyes. Choji’s eyes widen at the sight of their friend, the chip he had been about to eat falling into his lap, fingers limp. Shikamaru actually looked as if he had some life to him, his body nearly vibrating as he narrowed his eyes, leaning forward to get a better look.

Sai had gone still, unblinking while his pencil twitched subtly in his hand, his mind whirling with all the possible ways that he could get Naruto into his studio. Eyeing the other male, he idly wondered what else was different about him. Iruka had gone into full fuss mode over Naruto, having stood up and moved over to him, smoothing down his hair and fussing with the fur that covered his ears. He made sure that his younger brother was mentally and physically okay.

Ino had started to coo softly, trying to get up to go over the blond, Shikamaru rousing out of his rather excited shocked state to lunge over Choji’s lap and drag her back down onto the couch. Yamato had blushed very slightly while staring at a wall and not at Naruto, or trying not to but still stealing looks. Kakashi, as his former student had predicted, was perving out over his new additions, hie eyes sparkling brightly. His mind was busy conjuring up images of a puppy eared Iruka hugging a dewy eyed fox eared Naruto as they sent pleading looks at him…

A well placed flare of Killer Intent was just enough to knock everyone but Naruto and Iruka out of his various states, their eyes turning to a smug looking Ibiki who just shrugged.

“Now that we have been able to tell everyone important, like the others I have to ask if you guys have noticed or seen Haruno acting strange lately,” Ibiki said. Naruto moved to the other couch that had been moved into the office temporarily with Iruka and cuddled up to him to bask in his attention.

“Nope. I don’t really hang out with her outside of our various training sessions and missions nowadays. I have been working on a new style of attack with an old jutsu of mine with Kakashi-san and Sasuke,” Sai drawled. His pencil had started to dance over his sketch pad again as he shifted on the floor, his eyes dancing up to Naruto and Iruka before he turned back to his pad. He started to flesh out the tail that was peeking out from behind his friend, tongue sticking out.

“She has been following Sasuke around the village again, but that has, no matter what we’ve tried to get her to stop, has been a normal thing with her since he’s come back,” Kakashi drawled. His eyes narrowed in thought. “Now that I think about it, I have seen her glare at Naruto for no real reason. But again, that has been rather normal if not unwelcomed,” he finished almost musingly.

“I don’t know her well enough myself to say anything about her seeing as even when I was training Naruto, I saw Sai more than her and only during team training,” Yamato admitted, shrugging. “I haven’t actually seen her except during the rare training session and our missions as Team 7,” he continued.

“Actually, outside of Ino, my team doesn’t interact with her on a day to day basis and rarely during a mission,” Asuma mused, lighting his cigarette before he killed it with a panicked look when Naruto sneezed several times in a row. “Sorry, forgot that smoke annoys you normally,” he apologized, clearing his throat as he moved to open the office window.

“Lately I’ve been training with my dad to learn some new clan mind techniques, but I have been able to hang out a few times in the last couple of months,” Ino mused, her pale blue eyes narrowing as she thought about it.

“The other teams never really noticed anything outside of her seemingly new disdain for hanging out in groups of more than a few people,” Naruto said, pressing up into the long fingered hand that was smoothing his hair down.

“She’s missed a few lectures that she was supposed to do at the academy about being a medically included nin and what it means to know even basic medical for a nin,” Iruka said. He frowned slightly as he remembered how hard it was to get a hold of her after finding out that she hadn’t done the lectures, at least for the first week after each day.

“That sounds as if something has triggered a regression back to her old personality. This would include having her old dislikes and obsessions if she didn’t get past them before, but they’ll be a lot stronger than before,” Shikamaru said. He leant back against the couch cushions, his head resting on the back as his eyebrows drew together. “She also knows about the fact that Naruto carries the Kyuubi, the same as us, but what does she know when it comes to how much contact with him?” he asked, lifting his head to stare at Naruto.

“I actually don’t know. She never really learned that I talk with him beyond checking to make sure that he’s still around and that the seal is fine. She doesn’t know that he’s willing to help me learn and change things mentally, not to mention that he’s not really a homicidal maniac,” Naruto admitted, shrugging as he frowned himself, laying his head onto Iruka’s shoulder with a huff.

“I need to request that when you have time, I need you to write out reports about Haruno. Everything that you can remember from the last year, longer if you can remember that far back,” Ibiki instructed, Naruto relaxing under Iruka’s hand again. “The trail will be starting officially in about a week, but that is to trade information mostly. During the trial, Naruto is going to stay with me, see the Clan Council what has happened, go back to Tsunade-sama for tests and my ANBU will continue on to go through her notes before then,” he continued. The group nodded, thinking about what they had been told, even as Shikamaru muttered out how troublesome the report writing was going to be.

“Computers are a lovely thing, Shikamaru. Invest in it,” Naruto snorted, smirking at the pout from his friend.
