This would be where the plot really starts to kick off, though I still haven't managed to properly introduce my fourth POV character. Ah well, next chapter. At least I got the word count back to normal in this one!
This is the sequel to "The Way of the Apartment Manager," which can be found in clean draft here on ff.net, or in rough draft with comments here on my livejournal. It also has fanart, which can be found here.

You know, when I was writing "Apartment Manager" I sometimes wasn't sure what ought to happen next, but I never had to wonder whose POV it should follow. Here I'm trying to balance four POVs as well as a bunch of seemingly disparate plot threads, which means I get to have fun (hah!) playing mix'n'match with various scenes. Yukiko's long passage in the middle, for example, was originally two separate scenes, on either side of Naga's scene, but I think it works better this way, particularly in light of timing issues.
As for Sasuke and Naruto's interaction... if you have any complaints, you'll have to take them up with Naruto. The scene isn't quite what I meant to write, but he just opened his mouth and this is what came out. *shrug* Yeah, I know it's ultimately all me, but sometimes the words just come and it would take way to much effort to argue the issue with my subconscious.
