Quickie update!

Perched on top of a telephone pole, a cloaked figure stood. The figure was observing the young pink haired girl's interaction with her 'Lovers'. It seemed to her that the girl was different from the other candidates.

Sakura Haruno seemed to be a sincerely kind and honest girl which wasn't really much of a surprise. After all, she was the daughter of THAT woman.

That woman had been one of the pioneers of the 'L Project'. The 'L' project was one of the most top secret and high profile projects that the company had created.

"Anko, status report." The earpiece broke the figure's line of thought. The person now identified as Anko scoffed.

"How many times do I have to tell you Ibiki, the subject and the 'L's' are fine. Seriously this has got to be the most boring assignment I've ever done!"

"It doesn't matter if it's boring Anko. You know that this subject possesses the most number of 'L's' than any of the other candidates."

"Yeah, yeah, so what?" Anko hated this. Assignments like this didn't really give much of an adventure. She wanted assignments that involved action. The company knew that she hated these sorts of assignments but they still assigned this to her, now here she was, stuck babysitting a stupid 'L' project candidate.

From the other end of the line, Anko heard Ibiki sigh in exasperation before he rudely cut off the connection. Growling softly to herself, Anko took out her special glasses and put it on, tapping the right side of the frame she was able to view through the walls of the mansion.

Back With Sakura…

…-**v^^v**-…

The game didn't last long since they were called to dinner after about 30 minutes of playing tag with Sasori, Deidara, Naruto and Sasuke. Itachi arrived in the living room and found the two younger men still fuming at the red head. Sakura was oblivious to the real reason as to why they were fuming. Seriously, it was just a game, she thought to herself believing that they were only sore to have lost to Sasori.

Sasori on the other hand was still obviously gloating. Itachi paid no mind to the three males as he snatched their pink haired lover away to enjoy a well cooked meal. Dinner was for the most part eventful; Deidara had started an argument which caused Naruto and Sasuke to retaliate. They almost started a food fight when they were glared down by the older men.

"Sakura-chan, what are we gonna do tomorrow?" Naruto asked, back to his cheerful self. He wanted to redeem his happy go lucky image arou nd HIS Sakura-chan. That stupid Sasuke-teme won't be able to beat him. He and HIS Sakura-chan were made for each other and he'd be damned if any of the teme's takes her away from him.

Sakura looked thoughtful at Naruto's question.

'Hmm, what are we going to do? Ino-chan mentioned something about going to a party but I can't leave these guys alone.'

'I guess we should just stay here since I do have to do my homework but maybe I can show them around the city without running in to Ino…'

'Yeah, I guess that'd work…'

"I guess we can go to the park, I haven't been there for quite a while now." Sakura replied to Naruto with a soft smile.

This action made Naruto smile brightly back at her. While Naruto was busy beaming up at the pink haired girl, Kimmimaro and Itachi were already thinking of ways to find a suitable job without making the pink haired girl suspicious. The trip to the park would surely help them become familiar with their current surroundings. Finding a job may prove to be a strenuous task, but it will be worth it in end. They all agreed not to let her know about their plan because she would only refuse their help.

Being with the young girl for just a few hours made them realize that was where they belonged. It seemed and felt right to all of them to be with her.

…-**v^^v**-…

"Good day sir, would you like to try our latest—"

"Ladies and Gentle men, I bring you the newest produ—"

"Would you be interested in—"

Sakura and the boys made their way through the crowd of people, apparently there was a bazaar in the park that day.

Normally, Sakura wasn't worried about big crowds but today was different; she wasn't alone today… she had ten gorgeous guys with her.

Sakura wore a simple knee length white sundress that had small black flowers stitched on the hems.

Naruto wore a black jacket that had some orange in it; he left the jacket unzipped so his white inner t-shirt was showing. He also wore black pants.

Sasuke was dressed in some long sleeved gray shirt with a thin open vest that had chains linked from the shoulders to the side pockets and he wore some black slacks.

Itachi wore a crimson button up shirt tucked in with a pair of black slacks; he also had a black blazer worn over his shirt.

Kimmimaro wore a modern style plum purple frock cock with a white button up shirt that had a few buttons undone like Itachi and Sasuke, Kimmimaro also wore black slacks.

Haku chose to go with a more casual look so he only wore a dark forest green sweater paired with brown baggy pants.

Sai wore a gray t-shirt with jeans

Gaara had on a long sleeved tan brown button up shirt matched with a white inner shirt and he also wore faded jeans.

Deidara had thrown on a plain black shirt and grey baggy pants. Sasori on the other hand wore a maroon short sleeved button up shirt which he had left open since he had a plain grey inner shirt, he wore black pants.

And finally, Neji wore a white long sleeved button up shirt with a loose black tie and black slacks.

It seemed that the plan they'd come up with the night before wouldn't follow through anymore. The guys stayed close to Sakura, apart from the fact they knew nothing about the streets they were quite weary with some of the looks Sakura was getting from the other males. It unnerved them.

Naruto and Deidara were the only ones who actually tried to interact with the people around them. When something caught Naruto's eye, he'd ask aloud about it; making sure to draw the pinkette's attention.

"Ne, Sakura-chan… What do you call this thing?" Naruto held up a funny looking trinket.

"That's a keychain Naruto." Sakura said, expecting the trinket in the blonde's hand.

It was a key chain with a spiral as a design; Naruto seemed to be really fascinated by it so Sakura decided to buy it for him.

The blonde couldn't seem to get over the fact that he received something from Sakura and because of that he felt that he could openly boast about it towards the other males.

Sasuke glowered when Naruto all but practically screamed his accomplishment in Sasuke's face. The blonde idiot was really getting on his nerves. It seemed that he could not be able to catch the pinkette's attention since it was always drawn away from him.

Sasuke had been too lost in his thoughts to notice that Sakura had started to stare at him worriedly. The pink haired girl felt worried about Sasuke since it seemed that he'd been emitting a dark and melancholic aura since they'd left the house.

She'd spent the previous night figuring out how to take care of her 'Lovers' and she found out that the characteristics that Sasuke had were that of an 'Emo' type of person so it worried her.

The manual said that these negative emotions would be the product of her negligence to her 'Lover'.

Mustering up her wits, Sakura grabbed Sasuke's hand. Her actions had caused the black haired teen's attention to focus on her. He'd been surprised at Sakura's actions but when he found the pink haired girl smile brightly at him, he felt himself become lighter.

Sakura's actions were not unnoticed by the others. Sasori had been gritting his teeth in annoyance while Deidara looked ready to explode in jealousy.

Naruto almost dropped the keychain that he was showing to Sai, while Sai gripped his hand into tight fists. Gaara narrowed his eyes at the sight.

Kimmimaro felt like he wanted to sneer but he kept his face blank. Neji frowned distastefully at Sasuke. Itachi kept a black face but his eyes were smoldering crimson. Haku had on a dark smile.

…-**v^^v**-…

Anko watched the 'L's' reactions with an amused smile. It seemed that the pinkette had yet to fully balance the attention she was giving to the 'L's'.

She expected the 'L's' to go into a fit but it seemed that the pink haired girl's 'L's' had impeccable control over their instincts. Anko silently mused when that control would break. She reckoned that it would be quite a sight if such a thing were to happen.

Kiba sighed as he walked his dog, Akamaru, through the park. His older sister had told him to go out and buy her the nice tea pot she'd seen in one of the stands in the bazaar.

He would've said no but his sister gave him 'The Look' and I ain't talkin' about the good kind.

The look that Hana had given him was one that held the promise of sheer misery and pain should he refuse.

Akamaru's frantic barking brought him out of his musings. When he looked at what was causing Akamaru's restlessness, he found his long time crush Haruno Sakura.

His relationship with the pink haired girl went way back. He'd known her since the first grade and he'd secured the position as one of her closest guy friends. He'd had his crush on her since the first year of high school, when he'd finally noticed that she was actually a girl.

He'd been trying to get her to notice his feelings but it seemed that the pink haired girl was just too oblivious for those types of things…

He decided that he should catch up with her since the past week had been very busy for both of them.

Sakura was still smiling at Sasuke when she heard a familiar voice call out to her.

"Sakura-chan!" Sakura looked at the direction of the voice and found herself with the sight of Kiba jogging over to where she and the guys stood.

"Hey Kiba! What are you doing here?" Sakura waved enthusiastically but inwardly she cursed. She had thought that there would be a small non-existent chance of meeting with any of her friends but it seemed that Fate was not on her side.

"Ne-chan sent me out to buy her a stupid pot. I don't even understand why she needed another one of those things she already has about ten of those… What about you? Aren't you supposed to be doing your homework or something?" He said the last part teasingly.

Sakura smiled nervously at her long time friend. She really had no idea about what to do. The only thing she wanted was to get back home fast.

"Yeah, you're right! Well, it was really nice seeing you!" Sakura was about to turn away but Kiba grabbed her hand.

"Sakura-chan-"

"Let go of her!" When Kiba grabbed her hand, Sasuke had gone into possessive mode. The others were also emitting a murderous aura.

There was one common trait shared by 'L's', that trait was the possessive kind of trait. The 'L's' can tolerate each other's presence but only to a certain degree. So the sight of their lover being held by another male would easily drive the 'L's' into a fit of rage.

What in the world is the 'L Project'?

What's Sakura's connection to the 'L project'?

What's going to happen to Kiba?

Find out next time on ELS!
