Chouji looked at the younger Uchiha from the corner of his eye and smirked. I'm glad I don't have any siblings, especially like his brother. When the elevator stopped on the top floor, he got off and headed down the hall to Shikamarus office. He knocked on the door, then went in before waiting for an answer. There was no need seems he was expected. "Hey, Shikamaru! I've arrived with goodies."

Sasuke got off of the elevator, walking down the hallway until he reached the lounge. Stepping inside, he looked around, seeing no one of importance. With a bored sigh, he sat down in an armchair, hands behind his head. Hopefully something would come up, as he had nothing else to do, and he didn't fancy sitting around all day.
Hinata sat behind the counter, flipping through a random book she had picked up. There wasn't much activity around the store as of yet, so she figured it would be a boring day.

" Oh hey. What kind of goodies did you bring me? It better be something a little more relevant than the 20 bags of what you claimed to be 'exotic potato chips' that you brought last time."
Naruto started looking all over the hotel for anyone in Shikamaru's circle. He didn't want to come across the two he saw in the elevator earlier but he supposed it was inevitable. He found Sasuke in the lounge. " Hey Sasuke-Kun, Shikamaru said there is to be a meeting in the meeting room at 8 so you better be there."

Sasuke looked over towards the source of the voice. This the new boss's pet? he thought, smirking a bit. Looking at him more closely, he frowned, realizing that this was the kid that had walked into the elevator while Itachi was being... suggestive. Great. He saw that nonsense. "Yeah, yeah, I'll be there," he said at the news. Good, at least there was something to look forward to.

" All right then." said Naruto. Not wanting to hand around Sasuke any more than he had to. He exited the lounge and make his way down to the front floor where he saw a more familiar face " Hey fuzzy brows!" He said as he approached Lee.

"Oh yes, much better." Chouji set the suitcase that was cuffed to his hand on the desk, then dug around in his pocket for the key. "Wait 'till you see these!" he unlocked the case and turned it so Shikamaru could see inside. Inside were perfect uncut diamonds, and not just the normal clear ones but the colored as well. "Well, what do you think?"

Lee dropped his magazine, recognizing the voice and nickname right away. He looked up, seeing Naruto approaching him. "Ah, Naruto-kun. What are you doing here?" he asked, decideing not to comment on the fact the he had asked Naruto multiple times to please not call him that. He had given up though, for the demeaning nickname was just what Naruto did. He didn't mean any offense by it.

" Yes, this is perfect! You really have outdone yourself this time." he said as he eyed the many sparkly gems. he started rummaging through them looking for the brightest ones. 'I'll have the best ones made into a necklace and I'll give it to Temari as a gift.' he thought.' " If you don't mind I'll just keep these ones for myself. Why don't you take the rest to the jeweler and have them appraised. I'm sure we'll make a fortune if we sell them in the hotel gift shop. Oh and there's a meeting at 8 so don't be late for that."
" I'm Shikamaru's right hand man now! Pretty spiffy huh? Anyway there's a meeting at 8 so you better be in the meeting room by then. Let's see...why do I still have to tell?...Temari san...and...that guy" he said with a slight shiver when he remembered he still had to talk to the older Uchiha. " Hey Fuzzy brows, why don't you come with me to tell that older Uchiha about the meeting." 'If what I saw in the elevator was any indication, he seems to like to do creepy things when you're alone with him...and to his own brother...nasty.'

Chouji nodded and relocked the case. "I also have something for you...just you, not the company." he began digging around in his bag again and pulled out a large box. This was almost as hard to get as the damn jewels! he thought, hoping that Shikamaru would react with as much enthusiasm about the pure crystal chess set inside as he had about the jewels. To tell the truth, Chouji wanted Shikamaru to be more happy, but you never knew with him.
As Kiba headed back from the park with Akamaru, he stopped out front of the Nara hotel. They're looking for help again? They sure do go through people fast! Maybe the rumors about this place and the owner is true? "Akamaru, we shouldn't stay out front of this building, it may not be safe."

Lee had heard a lot about Uchiha, Itachi. It was true that things never turned out good when someone was alone with him, and it was wise to stay toghether in groups of two when confronting him. So Lee put his magazine on the small table, and stood up. "I will be happy to accompany you Naruto-kun! And welcome to the organization!" he said, smile on his face. "And after we tell him, I can go right up to the meeting room!" he added in.

Temari glanced at the man with curiousity, wishing Chouji would hurry back and deal with this serial killer instead of her. "Hem, hem. How can I help you, today, Itachi-san?" She smiled awkwardly, darting her eyes to the elevator every couple of seconds.
Itachi gave her a frosty glare, mumbling a "Hn." before pulling out his gun. "I need more bullets, and don't even give me the bullshit about over using them again." He hissed at her, giving her a look screaming "I'll kill you if I have to."
Temari nodded her head meekly, sighing. There was another couple hundred yen down the drain. The way Itachi used bullets never really surprised her. "Just please try to be more careful, Itachi-san." She whispered, pulling out a case.

" Choji...you..." Shikamaru was at a loss for words as he looked at his gift. " You know me better than anyone else. Thank you...now if only I had someone to play with."
" Yeah thanks, but now we have to find the guy. You're a hit man. How do you track people?"

"I'd play with you, but I'm horrible at strategy games. Maybe you can ask Temari? She's pretty smart." Chouji said as he closed up his bag which was now quite a bit lighter. "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Before you were made into the boss, your father was talking about trading a new type of materials and I thought I'd talk with you about it to see what you think. Or has he already told you?"

Lee thought for a moment, and said "You think about where you last saw them, and try to remember everything about the atomasphere. After that, use logic to determine the next destination, find clues to see if they had been there or not, than continue to track until finding them. Or wait out at a point you know they will be."

Itachi gave another "Hn." He quickly grabbed the bullets, turning away. "At least you made the smart move, giving me these." He murmurred, quickly walking down the next corridor.
Temari sighed, shrugged, and tried to think nothing of it. She settled back down in her chair and picked up her pencil again. Taking a quick sip of coffee, she went back to work, waiting for Chouji or somebody else to come down and see her or something.
