Disclaimor: I do not own Naruto just the oddities that pop into my brain about them.
A/N: I know, I know, why are you creating a new story when you have 3 stories still in progress? Well, I'll explain. I have all of my rough drafts packed up including the ones that I am working on. Which means that I am not going to work on them until I unpack them before the school semester starts. This storyline is basically bugging the hell out of me and it is something I haven't really seen in any story so far that I have read about SasuNaru pairings. Just to give you warnings it will be straight from manga just with a few things changed from here to there. I'm planning on having this story last a very very long time so be prepared for it to take a while to reach the ending. Also I started reading every mature COMPLETE NaruSasu/SasuNaru story on FF starting from the oldest to newest so fellow authors be prepared to be favorited on tons of your work. If I really like them I'm not scared to click that button. I've already faved a good bit. I'm also giving you a bit of warning also. I lost my grandmother last night and am writing to take my mind off of everything. This woman was everything to me growing up. She's my inspiration and the root of my goals to becoming a great writer. Granted her work is poems and short true stories that come straight from her life but she once told me after my father died that there are ways to take our minds off of things and hers was to write so she bought me a box of college notebooks and told me to start writing. Whether it was from my imagination or just my thoughts. I've been writing since and can't help to write from imagination since mine tends to go wild. I know this is going on long but I figured that I would give you guys a heads up if you keep wondering why I'm posting chapters like crazy. Anyway, here is the summary for the story.
Summary: Naruto is hiding something from everyone around him. Everything isn't as it seems to others. The best thing Naruto can do right now is try to hide his true self. It isn't easy but then he graduates from the academy and Sasuke is paying discreat attention to Naruto. Everything about the blond says "mystery" to him and he will find out what Naruto is hiding. This will start off as rated T and work its way to rated M+. There will be some romance angst and mpreg. SasuNaru pairing.
Chapter One
Once appeared a nine tailed demon fox. One swing of her mighty tail could crumble mountains and cause tsunamis. To fight the demon the people assembled the shinobi. One brave shinobi was able to seal up the demon, but he lost his life. That shinobi was called the fourth Hokage.
The faces of Hokage Mountain pop up but worst part is they have pink, orange and red paint doodled all over them. More so on the Thirds face than the others. Hanging from some ropes was a boy that appeared to be around the age of ten painting swirls on the Thirds face. He is cackling while he is painting it.
"Hokage-sama!" The third turns away from his calligraphy painting that he is working on at this time.
"What is it? Is Naruto causing trouble again?" He asks as he looks at the ninja's that have entered the Hokage's chambers.
"Yes! That punk Naruto is desecrating the Hokage Monument!" The first ninja says and his companion waves his hands around.
"And this time with paint!" Sarutobi sighs when he puts on his Hokage robes and hat.
"Hey! Stop causing trouble!" A ninja shouts from the crowd of ninja on top of the Hokage tower. "Stop doing this everyday!"
"You'll pay for this!" One says raising his fist at Naruto. "Look at all that…"
"Shut up you idiots!" The blond boy shouts with a dab of paint under his eye. "None of you guys could do something this horrible." He says as he spins around on the ropes. "But I can! I am incredible!"
"Geez…what has that idiot done?" The Hokage asks then mutters under his breath. "Even my face…" He saw Iruka out of the corner of his eye. "Hn?"
"Third Hokage-sama. I apologize for this." The man says as he steps up onto the rail.
"Oh! Iruka." Sarutobi says when he turns to the man. Iruka takes in a deep breath.
"What the hell are you doing during class time?! Get down here, you moron-!" He shouts at the young boy. Naruto panics and starts spinning wildly on the ropes.
"Yikes, that's Iruka Sensei."
Iruka is standing in front of the classroom facing a tied up Naruto who is planted in front of the class on his rump.
"Bah." Naruto huffs turning his head away while pouting.
"Tomorrow is the ninja school's graduation exam. You have failed the last 2 times!" Iruka shouts at him while pointing. "This is no time to be causing trouble, MORON-!"
"Yeah, yeah." Naruto huffs out as he stares off to the side through slitted eyes. Iruka snaps while gritting his teeth.
"Time for a review test on 'Henge no Jutsu'. Everyone line up!" He shouts at the class.
"WHAT~~!" The class echoes out in protests.
"Transform perfectly into me!" He shouts again. One kid after another came forward to show their Henge abilities. "Okay, good." Iruka says as yet another kid perfectly transformed into him. "Next, Uzumaki Naruto!"
"This is all your fault." One of the boys standing behind him says. Naruto walks forward with his hands on his hips in a girlish way.
"Like I care." He says then stops in front of Iruka. Damn…this sucks. He adjusts his goggles on top of his head. Okay, here we go! He gathers chakra while he makes a sign with his hands. "TRANSFORM!" He transforms into a voluptuous woman that strikes a sexy pose. She blows a kiss at Iruka. Iruka's eyes pop out of his head and his nose erupts blood from it. Naruto starts cackling as he transforms back to normal. "I call it, 'Sexy no Jutsu.'" The room is so quiet afterwards until Iruka erupts.
"YOU DUMBASS!" He says as a vein pulses at his temple. "DON'T INVENT STUPID SKILLS!"
Naruto is now standing on a scaffold with a bucket of water scrubbing the paint off of the faces on Hokage Mountain. You could hear him muttering the whole time while scrubbing.
"I won't let you go home until you clean all of it." Iruka says looking down from the top of the head he was standing on. His arms crossed with a scowl on his lips.
"Like I care…It's not like I have anyone to go home to." He lowers his head down so that Iruka couldn't see his face. Tears fill his eyes as he was scrubbing so much and trying to stop his tears in the process. "Bah." Iruka has a worried expression on his face as he stares at the boy. If he was close enough he would have been able to hear the almost silent sobs coming from the boys lips.
"Naruto…" Iruka says getting the boys attention. Naruto looks up at him.
"Now what?" He asks looking through his tears at his sensei.
"Well…umm…If you clean all this up." He scratches his cheek. "I'll buy you some ramen tonight." He looks down at the bright expression that appeared on Naruto's face.
"OKAY! I'LL WORK HARD! I WILL!" He shouts out.
It is already dark outside and the light shines brightly from Ichiraku Ramen where Naruto and Iruka are sitting inside eating their bowls of ramen.
"Naruto." Iruka says as he tries to get the boys attention.
"Huh-?" Naruto asks while slurping up a huge bite of ramen.
"Why were you doing that to the monument? Don't you know who the Hokage are?" He asks as he waves his hand around.
"Of course!" Naruto says. "Basically, those that receive the Hokage name…" His mouth is full as he continues. "…Are the strongest ninja's in the village, right?" The Fourth's face from the monument popped up. "And among them is the Fourth. A hero who saved the village from a fox demon."
"Then why?" He asks turning slightly to Naruto.
"One day I'm going to get the Hokage name…" He then points his chopsticks at Iruka "And then I'm going to surpass all the previous Hokage!" He states proudly. "And then, and then! I'll make the village recognize my strength!" He puts his hands together in a pleading motion as he looks at his sensei. "…By the way, Sensei…I have a request…"
"What? You want seconds?" He asks when he finished with his food in his mouth.
"No…Can I borrow your leave head protector?-3" He begs.
"Oh, this? No, no, this is for after you graduate." He says while adjusting his head protector. "This is a symbol that you've come of age. Maybe you'll get one tomorrow."
"Stingy!" Naruto shouts out.
"Haha, so that's why you removed your goggles." Iruka chuckles.
"Seconds!" Naruto shouts.
"Huh?!" Iruka shouts.
The clouds pass slowly in the blue sky. Naruto is laying his chin down on the desk in front of him as he listens and watches the kids around him.
"Now, for the graduation exam, you will do the Bunshin no Jutsu. When you are called, come to the next room." Iruka explains as he stands in front of the class holding a clip board.
Naruto puts his hands to his sweaty scared cheeks. Damn! What, that one?! That's my worst skill! Mizuki and Iruka sit behind a desk with forehead protectors lined up. Naruto stands in front of them. But I'll do it! He boosts his chakra up as he made the sign for creating a clone. Watch this-! "Bunshin!" Naruto's head turns to look at the pathetic clone that looked like someone doodled it. "!" He starts sweating even more since he realized that he failed. Iruka had a look on his face like he was trying not to laugh.
"FAIL!" Iruka shouts out and Naruto flinches as it seems that his world is shattering around him.
"Iruka Sensei…" Mizuki get's his attention towards the other man. "This is his third time, and he did technically create a clone…" He starts out. "We could let him pass…" Naruto perks up as he hears him say this.
"No way, Mizuki Sensei...Everyone else divided into three." Iruka waves off. "But Naruto only created one clone, and it was a useless one." He looks at the boy who has a furious look on his face. "I can't let him pass."
All of the children that graduated were in a crowd with their parents congradulating them. In a tree off to the side there sat Naruto in a swing staring longingly at the crowd. He could hear everything.
"Great job! That's my son!"
"Now you're a man!"
"I'm so proud of you! I'm going to make your favorite dinner."
Every word that was said shot through him making it plainly obvious that there was no way he would end up having someone say those words to him. A group of women saw him sitting there.
"Hey, that kid…" One with a hat on said.
"Yeah, that's "The" kid. And he's the only one who failed." The other said.
"Well, that's good." The first one says. "We can't have him becoming a shinobi." She sneers at him. "Since he is…"
"Hey, we can't talk about that." After she says this the swing ends up becoming empty as Naruto disappears. Sarutobi frowns as he hears every word of this and saw Naruto run off with tears coming down his cheeks. He notices Iruka standing to his side.
"Iruka, I need to talk to you." He says to the man.
"Yes."
Mizuki noticed the boy ran off. He follows him and calls out. "Naruto." The boy turns around and has a surprised expression on his face when he saw who it was.
"Mizuki Sensei!" The two climbed to one of the tallest buildings and stared out across the village.
"Iruka Sensei is a serious person. His parents were killed when he was young and he's had to do everything himself." He tries to explain to the boy.
"But why does he only pick on me?!" He asks. Mizuki looks at him.
"He probably see's himself in you." Naruto's face holds shock. "He's probably thinking he wants you to become strong in the real way." Naruto's face turns sad. "Try to understand Iruka's feelings." Mizuki pauses. "Since you also have no parents."
"….." The boy starts musing. "…But I wish I had graduated." Mizuki looks at him slyly.
"Well then…" He starts and Naruto's full attention is on him.
"Huh?" He wonders.
"I'll tell you a special secret."
It is dark out and the moon is partially covered by the dark clouds that creep across the black skies. On the Hokage's house you could see Naruto creeping along outside. As he enters the house he creeps around on the inside.
"What are you doing in my house at this hour?" Sarutobi finally speaks up to let the boy know that he is behind him. "Oh yes, and Naruto? Has anyone found out yet?"
"How would they find out? I am not allowed to bath with anyone so that would be stupid for them to find out." Naruto says as he grabs his chest. He gets a glint in his eyes and puts his hands in a sign. "Sexy no Jutsu!"
"Wha?!" Sarutobi passes out from blood loss as his nose turned into a fountain. Naruto leaves him laying there and disappears down the hall. He sneaks off to a scroll room and rummages through them until he saw a huge scroll laying there.
"!" Found it! He leaves the building hopping off with only one person watching him as he leaves. Mizuki smirks as he watches the boy leave.
Naruto found himself a hidden spot in the forest when he opens the scroll. "Let's see…The first skill is…Kage Bunshin?" He stares shocked at the scroll. "What the hell?! Why does it start with the one I'm bad at?!"
Iruka lays down staring out his sunlight at the night sky as he thinks back to the conversation he had with the Hokage.
"Iruka…" Sarutobi trails off.
"Yes, Hokage-sama?"
"I know how you feel but…" The man's voice picks up as he continues. "He is similar to you…" Iruka continues to let his mind wash over the situation. The image of the Kyuubi's tails fills his mind. The picture of the Kyuubi fills his mind completely as he remembers back when she attacked the village.
"We have to hold on until the Fourth gets here!" A ninja shouts out as Iruka gets hauled off by another.
"Let go of me!" He shouts out as his parents fight the Kyuubi. "My mom and dad are still fighting!" The Kyuubi's eyes look crazed as she stares at the boy in anguish. She hates that she cannot control her body and Iruka's words shoot straight to her heart. Iruka's startled out of his memories when a loud knock came to his door. He gets up and answers the door to Mizuki.
"What is it?!" He asks the man.
"We must go to Hokage-sama's place!" He sounds out of breath. "Naruto has…" His face is sweating. "Taken the scroll of the forbidden seals as a joke."
"!" Iruka runs off to Hokage's house to see a group of ninja's in front shouting at the Hokage.
"He won't get away with this one! HOKAGE-SAMA!" One shouts out at the elder.
"Yes, those are dangerous scrolls forbidden by the previous Hokage." He pauses as he looks at all of the ninja standing in front of him. "If used in certain ways, it can cause incredible trouble." He looks out from under the Hokage hat that adorned his head. "It's been half a day since the scroll was taken." He says as he puffs his pipe. "We must hurry and find Naruto!"
"YES!" Everyone says as they jet off to search for the blond. Iruka searches over the buildings and looked at the horizon to see if he could see the boy.
"….!" He pants out from running all over the village. I should check the woods…
I'll spread the word throughout the village a little more, then I'll get rid of Naruto. Mizuki thinks as he jets around the village. I'll make it look like Naruto disappeared with the scroll.
Naruto is surrounded by trees in the forest as he sits down and pants. The huge scroll is placed on his back. A shadow pops up over him and he looks up to see Iruka standing there with a peeved smile on his face.
"…I've found you…Hey!" He grits out.
"OH! I found the nose bleeder!" Naruto shouts as he stands up and points at Iruka with a huge smile on his face.
"IDIOT! I FOUND YOU!" ! He huffs a breath out while watching Naruto laughs. He notices that Naruto is not in pristine condition that he was when he last saw him.
"Hehehe…You found me…I've only learned one skill." He explains to Iruka.
"Hey. You're all beaten up, what were you doing?" Iruka asked.
"Never mind that, hey hey?! I'm going to try and incredible skill." He looks more excited than ever. "If I do it…Let me graduate!" Iruka looks at him in shock.
So…You were practicing here? Enough to damage your body. He muses as he watches the young boy. "Naruto."
"Hn?"
"Where did you get the scroll on your back?" He asks.
"Oh this?" He turns his head to look at the scroll. "Mizuki Sensei told me about it. And about this place too." His hands still formed in the same signs. He said that if I showed you this skill…" He grins. "I'd definitely graduate!"
Mizuki? A movement caught his attention. He pushes Naruto out of the way. Kunai were thrown and Iruka took the brunt of them. He slides back and hits the shack behind him. Mizuki lands on a tree limb.
"Nice job in finding him…" He says when he stops moving.
"I see…So that's what's going on…" Iruka grits out as he starts pulling Kunai's out. Naruto looks at Mizuki with a confused expression.
"Naruto, give me the scroll!" Mizuki says as he glares at the boy.
"HEY! HEY!" He panics as he looks between both of the Sensei's. "What's going on here?! Hey!"
"Naruto! Don't give him the scroll even if you die!" Iruka grits out as he pulls another kunai out of his chest. "That is a dangerous scroll that has forbidden ninjutsu sealed within it." Mizuki stands straight up. "Mizuki used you in order to get his hands on it!" Naruto glares up at Mizuki.
"Naruto…There's no point in you having it." He smiles at the boy. "I'll tell you the truth." Iruka face went from pained and angry to shocked.
"N…" He gasps out with veins popping out on his temple from anger. "NO! DON'T!"
"Twelve years ago…You know about the demon fox being sealed right?" Naruto looks at Mizuki confusion full blown on his face. "Since that incident…A new rule was created for this village."
"…A rule?" The boy asks.
"But…Naruto. This rule was never meant to be told to you." He smirks at the boy.
"…Not to me? What is this rule? Why?" Mizuki starts laughing. "What…Kind of rule is it?"
"The rule is that nobody is allowed to talk about the fact that you are the demon fox." Mizuki says with an evil glint in his eyes.
"Huh?" Naruto's eyes widen and he falls on his rump. "What do you mean?!"
"STOP IT!" Iruka shouts out at Mizuki.
"It means that you…are the nine tails demon…that killed Iruika's parents and destroyed the village." Mizuki kept on while Naruto's world starts crashing around him. "You were sealed up by the Hokage you admire and…"
"STOP IT!" Iruka shouts out again as his eyes scrunch closed.
"You have been lied to by everyone!" Naruto's eyes close tightly as tears sprang to them. "Didn't you find it odd how everyone hated you?" Mizuki took one of the giant throwing stars off of his back and started spinning them. "Iruka is the same! He actually hates you!"
Iruka starts panicking for Naruto's sake. Naruto! Naruto starts boosting up his chakra.
DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! Iruka falls over.
"Ga…" He cries out. He thinks of the words the Hokage said to him. "He's never known a parents love and is hated by all the villagers because of the incident. But that isn't all Iruka. Naruto isn't just a boy. All Uzumaki males cannot be counted as males. Same with the females. It is their choice which they go but their bodies decide to stick more for the females than anything. He can become a mother when ever he chooses. And recently he has shown that he is close to his first cycle. One wrong push can make him start early."
"NOBODY WILL EVER ACCEPT YOU!" Mizuki shouts as he charges at the boy. Iruka thinks more on what the Hokage says.
"So to get attention…He makes a lot of trouble. He's seeking acknowledgement of his existence in any possible way."
"That scroll was used to seal you up!" Mizuki shouts out more as his facial expression changes to one of madness.
"He acts tough, but he is truly suffering…The confusion as to why he acts differently also is painting his desperation to have a parental figure…He already knows that he cannot be a man since he has both female and male reproductive glands. The desperation is what I want to remedy and hopefully you can for me…He needs someone who has been alone but also to know that he is not all male…" When Mizuki threw the giant shuriken Iruka ran as fast as he could just to intercept it.
"UGH!" Naruto looks up when he feels some warm blood drip onto his cheeks. His eyes widen when he realizes what Iruka has done. Blood starts pouring out of Iruka's mouth and Mizuki now holds a shocked expression on his deranged face.
"Why…..?" Naruto asks as he looks like he's on the verge of tears. You couldn't see Iruka's eyes as he hovers over Naruto's body.
"My…my parents…after they died…there was nobody to compliment me or acknowledge me…I was so sad…I would always act like an idiot to get people's attention. Since I wasn't able to do well in things like school and get attention that way. It was better than being nothing. So I kept acting like an idiot." He leans further over. "It was so painful…" Naruto looked closer at Iruka's face and saw that the man was crying. "Yeah…Naruto, you must have been in a lot of pain too." He cries out. "I'm sorry, Naruto. If I had done a better job, you wouldn't have had to feel like this." Mizuki grits his teeth as he watches the boy's face to see if he was buying the words that Iruka spoke from his heart. Naruto looks around his Sensei at Mizuki. He gets up and runs off away from both of the men. "NARUTO!"
"Hehehe, sorry…But Naruto isn't the type to have a change of heart." Mizuki says as he lands behind Iruka. "He plans to use the scroll to get revenge on the village. You saw those eyes earlier…Those were the eyes of a deman."
"GAH!" Iruka cries out as he takes the giant shuriken from his back. He pants out from the pain and loss of blood. "Naruto…Isn't like that!" Naruto is still running away while Mizuki starts to chase him.
"Well, that doesn't really matter. I'll kill Naruto…And get the scroll. I'll take care of you later."
"UGH." Iruka's body shakes with his effort to get up. No way!
"Now we have to get him before he releases the demon power!" One man shouts out in the crowd of ninja's grouped together. "He is very dangerous. Kill him if you find him!"
Sarutobi sits in front of his servailance orb. "I finally find him and I see this…Mizuki has told him…Now Naruto is afraid like never before." The power that is sealed may be released…Plus he is holding the scroll of seals…The odds of him being able to break the seal and reverting back into the nine tails fox…Is one in a million, but it is possible…If that happens…
Iruka runs through the forest and notices Naruto up ahead. Found him! "Naruto!" He speeds up to run alongside of the boy. "Hurry! Pass me the scroll! Mizuki is after it!" Naruto lands on a branch, readies himself and attacks Iruka. HUH?! Naruto hits Iruka and the man flies through the air to hit the ground. Naruto lands and slides to a stop while panting. He falls back against the tree holding the scroll in front of him. "What? Why…Naruto?" Iruka pants while struggling to get up. The man loses his henge and transforms into his real form. Mizuki glares at the boy. "How did you know I wasn't Iruka?"
"Hehehehe." Naruto laughs and in a cloud of smoke Iruka reveals that it was him. "I'm Iruka!"
"…" Mizuki stands up with a sneer on his face. "I see….." Not fifteen feet away hiding behind a tree sits the real Naruto hugging the giant scroll to his chest. "Hehehe…You'd even transform into what killed your parents to protect him?"
"I won't hand the scroll over to an idiot like you!" Iruka glares at him.
"You're the idiot. Naruto and I are the same." Mizuki states which shocks Iruka.
"The same?" He asks. Naruto glares while listening.
"If you use the skills in that scroll, you can do whatever you want. There's no way that demon fox wouldn't try to use the power. Unlike what you're assuming…"
"Yeah…" Hearing Iruka agree the boy has sorrow filling his face.
Damn…I knew it…see…Even Iruka Sensei deep down…Doesn't acknowledge me.
"The demon fox would do that…" Naruto perks up at those words. "…But Naruto is different. He is…I've acknowledged him as…one of my excellent students." Naruto's face holds shock on it. "He may not be the hardest worker…" Naruto hides his face on top of the large scroll. "And he's clumsy so nobody accepts him. He already knows what it is to feel pain in your heart. He isn't the demon fox anymore…He is a member of the hidden leaf village, he's…he's Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto reveals his face to show that he was balling his eyes out. Mizuki is shocked by this.
"….Okay, whatever…" He grabs the last giant shuriken off of his back. Iruka tries to get up but ends up slamming back into the tree.
"AH!" He cries out as the wound on his back scrapes against the bark.
"Iruka…I said I would take care of you later, but I'm changing my mind." He starts spinning the shuriken. "Hurry up and die!"
So this is it… Iruka closes his eyes. Naruto rushes forward and knees Mizuki in the face which shocks the man as he flies back. The giant shuriken spun off wildly and hit a tree. Iruka's face held shock as he watched Naruto slide to a stop holding the giant scroll under one arm. Naruto!
"…You should not have done that…" Mizuki says while trying to get up. Naruto stands up holding the scroll upright.
"Don't touch Iruka Sensei. I'LL KILL YOU!" Naruto says while glaring out from under his goggles.
"You idiot! Why did you come out?! RUN AWAY!" Iruka shouts at the boy.
"SHUT UP! PUNKS LIKE YOU I'LL KILL IN ONE SHOT!" Mizuki shouts with a manic grin on his face.
"Try it trash! I'll return the pain a thousand times over!" He holds his hands in a sign.
"THEN DO IT, DEMON FOX!" Mizuki shouts out while Iruka's face holds shock on it.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Mizuki's face held the 'oh shit' expression on it when he saw a thousand Naruto's surrounding them.
"WHA?! What's going on?" Mizuki says as he starts panicking.
"What's wrong? Come at me! Weren't you going to kill me with one shot?" All of the Naruto's said at the same time. Iruka's jaw drops.
Naruto…You…
"Well then…I'll start things off!" Mizuki starts sweating as all of the Naruto's attack him.
"AHHHHHHH!" Iruka smiles.
Heh…he really did divide into a thousand…plus…Each wasn't an illusion but an actual body using the high level injutsu, Kage Bunshin. He…may surpass all previous Hokage…Mizuki looked like someone used him as a punching bag.
"Hehe…I went a little too far…" Naruto says as he rubs the back of his head.
"Naruto, come over here…There's something I want to give you.
"DID ANYONE FIND HIM?!"
"NO!"
"DAMN IT! THIS IS BAD!"
"He may be far away by now."
"There's nothing to worry about." Sarutobi tells everyone. Everyone's attention turns to the Hokage.
"Hokage-sama!"
"He'll be back soon." The Hokage says with a smile and smoke drifting off of his pipe.
"Sensei, now?" Naruto asks while the darkness from his closed eyes is all that he could see.
"Okay, you can open your eyes." Iruka's visage came into focus in the blue eyes. The man was smiling at him. "Congratulations…on graduating. Let's celebrate! I'll buy you a bowl of ramen." Naruto's lips tremble which came to Iruka's attention. Naruto lunges in to hug Iruka around his neck. "Hey, that hurts!" I planned to lecture Naruto that the hard part of being a shinobi had just begun. Well…I'll save that for the ramen place…

A/N: Okay since I've started on this one I have had to get out my school supplies which in turn I found my manuscripts of the other stories so now I can work on the ones I have going as well. Unfortunately, I have to now look for my flash drive so I can make sure this one doesn't get lost. -.- Probably somewhere…
