Political Alliances Chapter 14: Making up is Hard to Do Naruto was not in a good mood, not even eating at his favourite place in the world was helping. It had been a couple of days and even though Temari wasn’t totally ignoring him, she was still angry with him. He had no idea of how to fix something like this, he hadn’t been in a relationship before but he tried. First he tried to make breakfast for her in bed, it was going well. That is until he opened the door while she had been changing, he hadn’t seen anything but she obviously thought he was a pervert now. He really just seemed to be having bad luck. He thought of flowers, so he got Ino’s help in picking something nice with a meaning behind them that said how sorry he was. Turns out Temari was allergic to those types of flowers, she had been sneezing for hours with red puffy eyes and very annoyed with him for it. No matter what it just seemed he kept messing up and he was seriously coming to the end of his rope. Another realization came to him in the past few days as well. He missed the things he did with Temari, the training they did together, how she would show him how to cook a few new dishes, how they would talk over meals and hang out. He even missed the dates too. Sure they hadn’t been ‘together’ for that long, for someone like Naruto it was different though. He had lived alone and been alone for most of his life, to have someone in his life like this was better than he had thought. Now it was almost like how it was before and he hated it. The other thing he started to realize was that, he was actually starting to like her. She didn’t see him as the ‘dead last’ like most did, she actually saw something in him and tried to help him get stronger. Hell, he was stronger thanks to her and he knew with her help he could get a lot stronger too. He also missed her smile, it happened only a few times but it was a nice smile. He missed her laugh and how when they were alone she let her guard down a bit and was more relaxed. She was also the first person he had told his greatest secret to and she accepted him for it. It felt so good to be accepted totally without hold that back. He wasn’t sure when it had happened but he knew now that he actually liked Temari, sure maybe not loved her but she was one of his precious people and she was important to him now. He could definitely see himself eventually loving her but at this rate not anytime soon, at least not until he could fix this. Which led to him sitting depressed at the Ichiraku ramen stand, instead of wolfing down the ramen like a starving man condemned to a death sentence, he was just slowly eating his food. Both Ayame and Teuchi knew something was seriously wrong with the boy. “What’s wrong Naruto-kun?” Ayame asked the boy that was like a little brother to her. Naruto gave a depressed sigh, “I keep trying to make up for something with Temari and I keep screwing things up.” “Like what?” Teuchi asked and when Naruto explained his attempts so far both ramen stand workers flinched. “Ouch, yeah I can see why I haven’t seen you two together here then.” “Dad, that’s not nice!” Ayame scolded her father for his bluntness. “Anyway, maybe you should try something new.” “I’m afraid to try,” Naruto said honestly. What if he tried and it blew up in his face again? Before Ayame could say a response the familiar voices of two girls were heard. “I’m telling you something is going on with Temari and Naruto, Forehead.” Ino’s voice could be heard. “Look Ino-pig, I know there is something off but is it really that bad?” Sakura’s voice was heard too. “Well let’s see if he’s here and we can ask him,” Ino said as both girls entered the stand. “Ah there you are Naruto, oh man you look like crap.” “Ino!” Sakura shouted at her and then looked at Naruto. He looked even more depressed than the last time she had seen him. She sat down next to her teammate and friend. “Naruto is everything okay?” Naruto sighed and his head hit the counter as a depressed groan came from him. “He’s having trouble making up with Temari,” Ayame told the girls as it looked like Naruto was in no shape to tell them himself. By the end both girls could see why Naruto was so depressed lately. The ideas had been good ones but things just didn’t go to well, Ino felt a bit bad with her choices of flowers. She hadn’t known that Temari would be allergic to those types and felt bad in her part of it. “Well what got her so mad to begin with?” Sakura asked wondering how this all started. Naruto was about to say the reason until his survival instincts kicked in. She stiffened at the thought of what those two girls would do to him if they found out. Sakura hit pretty hard when mad and he was sure Ino wasn’t too far behind her either he really didn’t want both girls to think he had tried to take advantage of Temari or something. Also if Temari found out he told anyone what had happened, if the girls didn’t kill him, Temari would finish off what was left. “Uh…it’s kind of personal and embarrassing,” Naruto blushed. It didn’t help that ever since that incident sometimes he could catch himself staring at Temari when she wasn’t looking. He could still remember what she looked like naked and the feel of her skin. “Naruto,” Sakura said in a slightly angry voice. She could sense something, she wasn’t sure what but something was making her ‘pervert’ sense going off. Ino’s eyes narrowed as well as she felt something behind that as well. Naruto quickly sat up straight as he began to panic, “L-look it really is personal, and Temari wouldn’t want me talking about it! Can’t you help me out of this at least?” Sakura and Ino shared a look; they decided they would drop this at least for now. Besides, for Ino she had been helping Naruto with his bride to be. The hopeless romantic in her wanted to see the two blondes fall in love and have the happy ending that she always dreamed of having when she married. And it was no small wonder which dark haired boy was the star in those fantasies either. Plus how could she get Sasuke to be hers, if she couldn’t help Naruto get the woman he was going to marry? Sakura just wanted to help her friend, lately she and Naruto had gotten a lot closer. Maybe it was because he had stopped trying to gain her heart and had settled for just her friendship. She was actually glad to have Naruto as a friend lately and she didn’t like to see him like this. Plus she was sure that Temari wasn’t happy, and the older girl was someone she was starting to consider a friend as well. “Well there are a few things that you can do,” Sakura started off as both she and Ino told him all the things a girl liked to get for gifts. They went into jewellery, clothing, chocolates as well. Then they went into things like taking her out to dinner or some kind of major date to make up for whatever he had done. The girls told him anything they could think of and Naruto tried to keep it all straight. “Okay thanks,” Naruto said after the lessons on what girls might like. “I think I’ll go and see what I can find.” “Later Naruto,” Sakura called out to him. “I hope he finds something.” “Yeah,” Ino said nodding. “Hey how about we invite Temari out with the other girls? I mean we hardly know her other than you and I bet she must be a bit lonely in a village full of strangers.” “That sounds like a good idea,” Sakura smiled at the thought. “I’ll ask her tomorrow.” -Later- Naruto wasn’t sure what to do, sure Sakura and Ino had given him some ideas but honestly what was he to get Temari? So far everything else had blown up in his face and he didn’t know anything like dress size or ring size for jewellery. Plus he wasn’t sure Temari even liked that stuff, she didn’t really wear or have much of that stuff like jewellery. The only thing she carried around was her huge battle fan. He thought that maybe a new weapon would help him out. He paused at that thought, she didn’t have anything for close combat other than the standard kunai and shuriken, but what if he could find something really cool for her to use? Naruto got a huge grin as he went looking for a weapons store. Ever since the chunin exams a few more stores had actually been kinder to him so lately he had been experimenting with looking into new stores. Sure the ones that had always accepted him were good, but he had been too afraid to shop around in fear of being kicked out. He soon found a weapons store that he had seen but never gone into before, mainly cause the weapons looked kind of expensive. But with all the new money he might be able to afford some new gear in fact he made a mental note to buy better quality equipment when he could. He walked in seeing a store filled with weapons there were everything from swords to daggers, axes (which he thought was weird for ninja) and a few weapons he couldn’t even name. Naruto looked through it all and was amazed at the things he saw. “Sorry to keep you waiting,” a female voice called out. “I was in the back helping out, how can I...Naruto?” Naruto looked at the counter to see a surprised Tenten there. “Hey do you work here?” “Yeah,” Tenten smiled at seeing him. “Well I sometimes work here, when my team isn’t on missions I help out and since Lee is still recovering I have more time to spend here.” “How is he doing?” Naruto wondered about Lee. “He’s doing great,” Tenten beamed, “Tsunade-sama healed him up and he’ll continue being a ninja again. She’s just the greatest there is.” “Yeah, Baa-chan is pretty great.” “Naruto!” Tenten shouted suddenly. “Don’t call the Hokage that!” “Why not?” Naruto asked her as if it was perfectly natural to call her that. “I mean she’s fifty and hides behind that genjutsu of hers.” “Still you should show some respect to her,” Tenten muttered. She idolized Tsunade, she wanted to be a lot like her and she just didn’t know how Naruto managed to get away with that kind of stuff. She sighed and went to why he was here. “So are you here for new weapons?” “Yeah I was hoping you could help me out,” Naruto then told her who he was looking a weapon for. He didn’t go into major detail just that he was looking for a present for Temari and a close range weapon would be perfect for her. Tenten had to admit that to her, that was a very nice gift but then again she thought any good weapon was a good gift. She thought about what type of weapons she had for someone like Temari, having firsthand knowledge of how the girl fought. Although she still felt embarrassed to how badly she had lost, she still was looking for ways to improve since then. So Tenten showed Naruto all the types of weapons that Temari might like and could use. At first Naruto wasn’t sure what Temari would like and went with what Tenten showed him. Then he found something that caught his eye and asked Tenten to show him. She went into detail about the weapon and already Naruto could tell that Temari would love it. The only downside was the cost, it was going to put a cramp in his savings and his wallet would take a major hit, but it would be worth it if this would work. In fact if this didn’t get him out of trouble then he wasn’t sure what was. -Hokage Tower- Anko wasn’t sure why she had been called into to the Tower, only that she was to report to room 218. This was odd because as far as she knew that was part of the research part of the Tower. A slim hope took hold that maybe Kakashi had come up with something for her seal. Ever since she had started to help Kakashi with this she had been hoping for something to keep the curse seal in check. She hated when the seal acted up, like when she had certain nightmares or like in the Forest of Death. She had been so weak and helpless, she should be dead now but only because Orochimaru in some sick pleasure he got, left her alive. She started to think a bit more about Kakashi as well, she didn’t really know him all that well. In fact most of what she knew came from other sources like Gai, Kurenai and Asuma. Even then, they didn’t know much which left Anko a puzzle and she hated puzzles. Mainly because she hated missing pieces like her memories and blank pieces of information only pissed her off, plus he was hard to figure out as well. You couldn’t tell what he was thinking or feeling since he not only wore a mask, but also seemed to ‘mask’ his emotions too. It was a little irritating at times because she wasn’t sure what was an act and what was real with the guy. But she did know one thing, he had earned his reputation. She once snuck a peek at his files that she was cleared to see and she was surprised by what she saw. The list of moves and jutsus he knew was staggering and then there was his mission success rate. It was better than her own success rate and she hated not being on top in anything. Although as they talked about her seal eventually they moved to other things as they spent some time together. She learned how he had actually stood up to Orochimaru while he had put that counter seal on Sasuke, that in her books either mean that Kakashi was very brace or really stupid. Maybe a bit of both but then again she couldn’t say any different about herself. She got to the room and when she entered she found not only Kakashi leaning over a table but she saw Jiraiya himself there as well. She had only seen him a few times and never really met the man, but she knew his reputation or more like reputations if you counted his non-ninja exploits. Kakashi noticed her first and gave her that strange eye smile of his, “Hey there Anko, there is something we want you to see.” “Ah so this is the young thing you’ve been hiding away with,” Jiraiya gave a perverted grin at Anko. “You have good tastes Kakashi.” “How would you like to a model for a new character I’ve been working on for a new book?” Jiraiya asked. Anko gave him a sultry look as she swayed her hips to Jiraiya, she moved like a snake towards the man whose face was masked with surprise but quickly turned to his most perverted grin. Kakashi blinked in surprise as well as he couldn’t take his eye off her movements, he didn’t know that Anko could move like that. “Well I would have to say...” Anko said in a husky voice and then pulled out a kunai to the man’s throat. “That if you don’t keep your little brain out of this I’ll cut it off and give it to Tsunade-sama as a trophy.” “Point taken-point taken!” Jiraiya moved slightly away and glared at Kakashi who was chuckling. “So, what’s all this?” Anko asked looking at the table. On it were many different pieces of paper with many different designs on them. It took her a moment to see that they were all different seal designs. “We think we may have found a new stronger seal to use,” Kakashi told her pulling one sheet forward. Jiraiya nodded, “Yes, using Kakashi’s previous method as a template I’ve put my own knowledge into it. Now it should work a bit better although this won’t completely seal it and if you ever did try to use the curse mark this seal would be totally useless.” “Hey I’ll take what I can get,” Anko grinned at the image on the paper. She tried making sense of it but it was way beyond her. She knew seals but nothing this advanced although something odd was about it. “Hey, how does this thing work exactly?” “A person sits in the center of the seal,” Kakashi told her pointing it out on the paper. “It’s pretty much the same only the design is more complex.” “So I just sit in the center or what?” She asked and noticed Kakashi got a little nervous for some reason. “Not...exactly.” “You need to be naked as the seals are drawn onto your body.” Jiraiya giggled. “What!?” Anko turned to the old pervert and then Kakashi. “You don’t have to be naked,” Kakashi quickly said. “At least, not totally I had to drawn the seal on Sasuke’s upper body.” Anko gave the masked man a hard look not sure what to think about this. Sure she was willing to put some kind of damn leash on this seal on her neck, but being topless as someone draws on her wasn’t what she had in mind. Okay, so maybe that sounded fun in another context but not in this. “Well I would be more than happy to help out,” Jiraiya grinned at her only to be met by a fist to the face. He fell onto his back holding his hands to his face. “Not likely,” Anko said coldly. Then she looked at Kakashi and sighed, if this what it was going to take she would have to do it, but she was going to get compensated for it. “Alright Kakashi just name the time and place but if you’re going to see me topless then you’ll have to do something for me to make it fair.” “Like what?” Kakashi asked wondering what she had in mind. “Now where is the fun in that?” Anko grinned at him and walked out the door leaving both men to stare at the closed door. “My boy,” Jiraiya said slowly getting up. “I don’t know if I envy you or not now.” Although Jiraiya did know was that he seemed to have stumbled upon a new side story for his new book. If the things he caught Naruto and Temari doing helped out then this little thing with Kakashi and Anko would be a nice companion piece to it. He was already thinking of all the things he could do with them, maybe the mysterious masked man and the snake charmer woman as characters? He quickly pulled out his notes and started to write these ideas down. -Uzumaki Home- Temari was not having a good day, actually make that a good week. First there was the shower incident, then that meeting with Danzo had put her on edge. Then there were Naruto’s attempts to apologize which ended up blowing up in her face. She was just thankful that she didn’t get a rash from those flowers on top of everything else she got from them. She was currently thinking just forgiving him, since his making things up to her were turning out to be disasters. A part of her was actually afraid of what he would do next. She sighed as she went up to her room so far it looked like Naruto wasn’t home yet. That would give her time to unwind and then she could think about just saying that things were fine between them and moving on. Besides it had been a few days since the incident and she had cooled down since then. It was still embarrassing to just think about, but the rational part of her mind knew that sooner or later he would see her naked. That meeting with Danzo had started her thinking on things she was expected to produce at least one child at some point which meant that she and Naruto needed to get closer. At least things had been going well and he was a nice guy, at least he had never forced the issue of sex. She knew that a lesser man if they had found her naked in that position might not have pulled away. She crossed her arms across her chest at that thought, being a ninja was a dangerous job but a female ninja held other things to worry about. A captured Kunoichi didn’t just have torture to worry about for starters. At least with Naruto she knew that he would never force her into anything. She sat on her bed thinking about things, the wedding was coming up soon and although she was comfortable around him what did she feel for him? She started to list the things about him, both the good and the bad and in the end the good points seemed to have won out. Logically she knew that he was a good match, and most likely would be a good husband and father one day. He liked kids, provided she made sure he didn’t teach them anything perverted, and he was loyal and very honourable. But although her mind was made up what did her heart say? It was then that she noticed a box on her dresser and she groaned. She really was worried what was inside of it. ‘Might as well get it over with,’ Temari thought as she went up to open the box. It was a bit heavier than she thought for something that size. When she opened it up and was actually surprised by what she found. She pulled out a twin pair of fans. They were a good length, black with a yellow floral pattern on them. Temari was interested and opened one of the fans up, it was then she found out why they were so heavier than normal as the fan was all metal. The edges looked razor sharp and the metal very durable. The metal glistened and she examined it closely, it was a very good quality. She noticed something else in the box a small note that only read the word ‘sorry’ on it. She couldn’t help but smirk that was just like Naruto to write something so simple. She also noticed that there was something odd about the metal, it wasn’t a normal metal. Having a similar fan for years she knew metal that was made to conduct chakra by feel at this point. She took the two fans and quickly went down to the small training area in the backyard. Temari flicked her wrists and opened up the fans testing the weight, they were excellently balanced but it would take time to get used to them. She went into a few fluid movements with her fans and body, there were a few things she could do with these that she couldn’t pull off with her larger fan. Her mind was already going through all the different types of things she could train in with these fans. She was a long distance fighter but her biggest weakness had been someone getting in closer to her, now with these she had that covered. Temari never really got ‘giddy’ but she was as close as she could come with these, they were perfect for her. Now it was time to test the chakra and with one fan she infused her wind chakra into it, she concentrated feeling how the weapon took and moulded it, it would take time to get used to that but it felt right. Then when it felt right she slashed out with her fan and released the chakra. A wave of condensed wind flew out to the target and left a scratch against the surface. Normally that kind of attack would cut it in half but with time and training she could definitely use these. “Okay, apology accepted,” Temari said placing the fans in her belt as she turned around to see Naruto there. “Y-you knew I was here?” Naruto asked a little nervous. “At least for a few minutes,” she smirked as she walked over to him. “Were these your idea?” “Yeah, I was thinking what you would like and when I saw them I figured you might,” Naruto scratched the back of his head. “Plus you told me that your fan wasn’t good for close combat and these looked perfect for you.” Temari smiled honestly as she looked at him, thinking back on her earlier thoughts. Okay he wasn’t drop dead handsome but he was cute and the whiskers looked nice on him. “Naruto can we go inside to talk about something,” she asked him. He blinked in sudden confusion but nodded. They ended up on the couch sitting next to each other and she noticed how he seemed a little nervous. In fact during the dates they had he had been nervous around her when they were close at times. She should have known, he had been alone most of his life so he wasn’t used to close contact. Thinking about that made her feel sad about that, he didn’t deserve that kind of loneliness. “Naruto as you know there are a few expectations for our marriage.” “You mean that we’re basically closing the deal on the new peace?” Naruto asked her. “Well there is that,” Temari said as a small blush started to form to where she was going. “But in these kinds of marriages to prove our ‘commitment’ a few things have to happen. One of them is that I have to have at least one child.” Naruto swallowed nervously at that, “I-I remember you saying something about kids a couple of times.” Temari nodded, “Yeah, that’s because I knew we would have at least one, and remember no perverted jutsus.” She gave him a small glare for measure and he quickly nodded his head so fast, it looked like it would fall off. Satisfied she decided to go on with her explanation. She told him about her run in with Danzo, Naruto had no idea who that was as he had never seen anyone like that before. He was confused to hear that this guy had wanted to take him in and train him at an early age. At first he would have liked that idea but then Temari told him the other side of things, how the man reminded her of her father and the subtle threats he had given her. She could see the anger there and she was a bit pleased that he would want to protect her. “Bastard isn’t getting any kids from us,” Naruto muttered crossing his arms. He made a mental note to ask Tsunade about him the next time he saw her. “So...we have to have a kid?” “Not yet,” Temari told him. “I don’t plan on getting pregnant at least until after I’m a chunin, and besides I think we’re both a bit young. But there is a timetable for this, and eventually they’ll push us into it.” Naruto looked down at that, he didn’t like the idea of Temari being forced to be with him, and the fact that she would be forced to have a kid with him made him feel even worse. He always had hoped he would find love and a normal marriage and family. “I don’t want you to do anything you don’t want to,” Naruto said a bid sadly. Temari looked at him and her expression softened as she gently took his hand. Naruto was surprised as he looked up at the other blonde. “I know, you’re a nice guy and well...lately I’ve been thinking about us. I know that I could have done a lot worse than you, in fact you’re a good catch.” “R-really?” Temari nodded and Naruto blushed a bit at this. He looked down a bit and maybe for the first time he had some hope for a real marriage. “Well I wasn’t sure at first but, I’m kind of glad you’re going to be my wife too.” Now it was Temari’s turn to start blushing as well. “Thanks,” Temari told him. “Although since we’re going to be married I’ve been thinking that we should try and get closer. I don’t want us to be this awkward all the time and then there is another thing that we are required to do.” “Oh, what?” Naruto gave her that look when he closed his eyes making him look more fox like. “Well, we will have to, you know...the wedding night?” She told him blushing a lot more now. “What happens on a wedding night?” Naruto asked her and Temari nearly fell over from that. “You mean you don’t know?” Temari asked and he shook his head. Temari sighed at this, she should have known that without parents he would be missing a few things but this was not what she expected. “Naruto, on the wedding night the couple consummate the marriage.” “Consum-what?” Naruto asked. “We...have sex,” Temari said looking away to hide her huge blush, and Naruto had an equal one on his face at that. Naruto was starting to sweat at the thought of that night, but then again his mind when back to her naked form. The thought of him on top of her equally naked in bed made him feel all funny inside. He also noticed he was starting to get an erection and quickly tried to think of something else. He didn’t want her to see that and think him some kind of pervert. “S-so that’s why you want us to try and be closer?” Naruto asked nervously. Temari cleared her throat and nodded. “Yes, I don’t want us to be too embarrassed to do anything on that night.” “Yeah, that sounds like a good idea to me,” Naruto was glad the wedding was still two months away. Things were moving fast enough as they were. The last thing he needed to do was screw up a night like that, it was supposed to be important but he had no idea what to do for that night. He started to wonder who he could ask for advice, he was too embarrassed to go to someone like Tsunade, plus she might punch him for being a pervert. There was no way he could ask one of the other girls for the same reason. Maybe he could ask Iruka, he might know plus he wasn’t a pervert like Jiraiya. “I’m not saying we should just jump into things but I think we should at least start off with something simple,” she felt a little nervous with what she had thought of to try. “Simple?” “Like this,” Temari said as she moved slowly towards him. She didn’t want to scare him off knowing how he was, so she planned to do this slowly. She felt herself being nervous and her heart was speeding up as her face slowly moved closer to Naruto’s. She kept telling herself that this was nothing special but for some reason she was still feeling nervous, after all she had never done this before. Naruto felt himself blush as her face slowly got closer, he swallowed nervously as he looked to her lips. He licked his own as he slowly moved a bit forward. Both of them had never kissed before at least not on the lips (Naruto didn’t count Sasuke), but then their lips met. Naruto was surprised how soft her lips were and he closed his eyes. Temari did the same as they gently felt out the kiss, she wasn’t sure what to do but then instinct started to kick in and both started to kiss. Temari meant it just a slight one but strangely found herself drawn into it the kiss. She could taste ramen and something else in Naruto’s kiss and she should have known he would taste like it. Naruto found that her lips tasted of strawberries and he didn’t know that kissing a girl felt his good. Both of them lost track of time but a few seconds later they both pulled back blushing. “T-that was good,” Naruto stammered out. Temari nodded her head feeling her heart racing at the moment. Both of them had started on this path to marriage as stranger but over the short time together they had become friends and now had started to move into something more. Neither of them were sure of where things would lead but for the first time, both of them were thinking that this marriage could be something that neither of them would regret.
