"Come on Nami! You have been my assistant for how long now? A year? You haven't come to a single event with me," Sakura was pleading with Nami. "You do a fabulous job of helping me get ready, don't get me wrong. Please, come with us tonight!"

"My boyfriend's band plays tonight and I can't miss it!"

"You said he plays every Saturday. You can miss one. There are some people I would love for you to meet!"

"Okay, okay, if I go will you stop?"

Sakura let out an excited squeal and clasped her hands together. She had already bought Nami a party dress. She was always being questioned by Madara as to who this lovely assistant was and why she was never at any of the Uchiha events.

The two got ready together. Nami turned her phone off to escape the constant stream of texts asking why she wouldn't be at the warehouse tonight.

When Sakura and Nami arrived to the house of Madara Uchiha, who was hosting tonight's party, she wasn't treated like an assistant. She was treated as Sakura's best friend. The girls were escorted to the party by Sasuke and his brother, Itachi who was trying to make his long time on and off girlfriend, Izumi, jealous.

Sakura knew Nami loved to write and was determined to help Nami like she had been helped. She knew Kakashi Hatake, one of the most notable modern writers, would be in tonight's attendance.

"Nami! Please, Nami Umino meet Kakashi Hatake," Sakura said as she dragged Nami to where the writer stood nonchalantly.

Kakashi held his hand out and they shook, "Nami, it is a pleasure."

"The pleasure is all mine. Mr. Hatake, I am such a huge fan."

"Please, call me Kakashi."

"Great! While you two chat, I am going to say hi to a few more people!" Sakura disappeared into the crowd.

"Come on, let's get you a drink," Kakashi pulled Nami outside to where another bar was. Madara's mansion was unbelievable. There were three levels and two giant pools. There were three giant gardens. The lights that illuminated outside gave the party a magical feel.

Nami was with Kakashi by one of the pools. Together they talked about their inspirations and goals. Kakashi already had two major books published and three movies in the process. Nami excused herself after several people approached to talk to the famous writer.

Inside, Nami made her way through the labyrinth of hallways to find a restroom. Her dress was simple and black. It hugged her curves. Instead of traditional jewelry, Nami opted for a thigh chain. Her silver hair was pin straight ad hit the small of her waist. Her silver eyes wore a simple black eyeliner. As Nami turned a corner, she heard whispers.

"That silver haired girl should be the star, not Sakura

"That silver haired girl should be the star, not Sakura."

"I heard she was hired as an assistant but coaches Sakura on most of her scenes. But we all know Alice had to hire her so Sakura would have a friend. How pathetic to not have any friends so you have to hire them!"

"I'd like to meet her and show her what her true potential is."

Nami backed up as quietly as possible to avoid the voices. She was still curious who it was though. The words hurt her for Sakura. While the pink haired starlet could be insecure at times, she had a heart of gold. It just dawned on Nami that she had become great friends with the actress over the past year. She was about to stand up for Sakura when she saw who the voices belonged to. Madara and two men Nami hadn't seen before rounded the corner.

"Well look, Nami Umino! I am so glad you could make it tonight

"Well look, Nami Umino! I am so glad you could make it tonight. I was just telling these two gentlemen about you. Allow me to introduce Hashirama and Tobirama Senju of Senju studios."

Nami was confused. Senju studios was Uchiha Studios biggest rival and here the Senju brothers stood gossiping with the head of the Uchiha family.

"My, my, Miss Umino, you are even more incredible in person," Hashirama said as he turned to his brother, "Don't you agree Tobi?"

"My, my, Miss Umino, you are even more incredible in person," Hashirama said as he turned to his brother, "Don't you agree Tobi?"

Tobirama was silent. His red eyes had met her silver ones the second the three had turned the corner. He was entranced by her.

"Anyways, Miss Umino, Madara and I have been talking about one of our upcoming films and we have a proposition for you. Any chance you would be free to meet this Thursday evening?"

"It is a pleasure to meet you both. I can make arrangements for Thursday."

"Perfect! We will pick you up and Thursday and discuss everything over dinner."

Nami smiled and said her goodbyes. She was looking for Sakura who sat alone on one of the luxurious couches. Together they left the party. They had a busy week coming up.
