~*~* 18 *~*~

Thursday evening and
Shikamaru lay on his sofa, feeling miserable. And lonely. Every time he closed
his eyes he could feel those enormous breasts being pushed against his face,
almost choking him. He wanted to touch them, lick them, suck on them� he wanted
to be with her. But that would probably never happen. He cursed when he felt his
member hardened again. Damn that woman, she was going to give him a permanent
erection, he was sure of it. Not an hour could pass without him thinking about
her.

His right hand unbuttoned
the trousers he wore and a few seconds later he had freed his aching member. He
smeared precum over his sensitive tip as he imagined her doing it for him. He
let out a raspy moan as he imagined her grab hold of her breasts and placed them
on each side of his weeping shaft and rub up and down. His balls contracted and
seconds later he spurted his seed all over his hand and stomach.

�Great, now I made a
mess of my self again�� he
grunted silently and got up to find something to wipe himself clean with. He
found a towel in the bathroom and used it to clean his hand and stomach from the
evidence of his recent imagination. How many times had he done this? It must be
over a thousand or so he guessed. That woman was going to be the death of him.
He sighed as he threw the towel into the basket with other things that needed to
be washed. �Why me�??� he silently asked as he zipped his pants and
ventured into his kitchen to make something to eat. He was happy that he had his
own place or else this crush he had on his leader would have been much more
troublesome. Now he could go on for days without hearing his mother constantly
nagging him about that it was time for him to find a nice girl and settle down
and have some more little Nara-children.

�How can I do that when
the only woman I want is forbidden for me?� he said to the pot of boiling rice.

~*~*~*~*~

Unknown to Shikamaru,
Tsunade was having similar problems. She was still at the office, being the last
one to leave. Her head rested against the arms that were placed over her desk.
All she could think of was her lazy jounin captain. His dark grey eyes that
pierced her very soul. When she thought about it, she had never seen him with
his hair down; he always had it in a high tail. She closed her eyes and imagined
that she removed that ribbon from his hair and she could almost see how those
black locks spilled down over his broad shoulders. Just imagining him shirtless
made Tsunade�s body shiver and she could feel her lower areas become heated and
she rubbed her thighs together in order to relieve some of the need she felt.

�Stupid woman� you are
too old for him� remember?�
her consciousness told her. But Tsunade didn�t want to listen to that voice. No,
she had the rights like everybody else to dream. And it had been so long since
she been with one on that level. And right now she wanted to dream about giving
him a mission � a mission where she ordered him to give her the attention she so
desperately craved. She could almost see it as his hands were all over her naked
body, teasing her large nipples until they peaked in hardness. She could almost
feel him part her legs and settle between them. Just feeling him fill her needy
body with his flesh made Tsunade bold enough to put her hand inside her pants
and she began to rub that blood engorged nub in order to find her release.

�My Shikamaru� I want
you so much that it hurts my soul not to have you��
she silently cried as her finger rubbed her clit faster and faster. She could
feel her peak rush forward and with a soft moan she came, spilling her womanly
juices into her panties. �Gods� I need to stop thinking
about him or else I will end up rubbing my self sore��

~*~*~*~*~

# The next day #

Kankurou stared at the
flyer on the wooden fence. It announced that one of the restaurants would have a
dance this very evening. �Perhaps I should try to get Tenten to go with me to
this dance�? This might be the chance that I�m been waiting for. I can dance��
he thought and scratched the back of his clothed head. He decided that he would
try to ask her out again and he promised himself that he would behave. Or else
she might not want to go out with him. And for that occasion he needed something
that could convince her that he really was a nice guy, something that you could
bet on. He needed flowers.

He searched through the
town for a flower shop and found one pretty soon. He recognized the woman inside
as Ino and he was a bit surprised, but he didn�t show it. He saw her eyes
widened a bit as he stepped inside her shop and looked over the massive amounts
of flowers.

�Can I help you?� asked
Ino when she saw the confused sand ninja look around her shop. She had
encountered him a few times when the sand siblings came to town and she knew
that he was a guy that liked to touch girls� private areas. But right now he
just looked lost and almost vulnerable.

�Uhm� I think I would
like three of those�� mumbled Kankurou and pointed towards white roses which
edges looked as if they were dipped in blood. They looked very beautiful and he
thought that Tenten would like them.

�Of course,� said Ino and
picked up three of them and placed the ends of the stems in wet oasis and then
she wrapped a thin silk paper around them and handed over them to Kankurou.

�How much?� asked
Kankurou as he dug into his pocked to find some money.

�Seven dollars��

He nodded and handed over
the asked amount and then left without saying anything. He was glad that he wore
paint, because he was sure that his face was flaming red at this moment. It had
been a bit humiliating � having to buy flowers for a girl that most of the time
kicked his ass for being a pervert. �But this time�
this time� I hope she�ll agree to let me take her to this dance.�

~*~*~*~*~

Tenten was training as
usual when Kankurou found her. She looked at the kabuki-painted young man and
she frowned. Couldn�t the guy take a hint at all? But as he came closer she
could see that he was not acting like he had during these weeks of pursuing. He
stopped a few feet away from her and then he shoved a paper thing into her face.

�Tenten-chan, come with
me to the dance tonight� please?� he asked as his eyes were diverted to the
ground.

Tenten removed the silky
paper and saw the three roses he had bought for her. They were beautiful and she
couldn�t help herself, she put her nose into one of them and inhaled the sweet
fragrance. She looked at him and finally she realized that he actually was true
in his feelings towards her, but had a hard time showing them. She smiled in
secrecy before she placed a hand on his shoulder to get him to look at her
again.

�Alright Kankurou � I�ll
go out with you. Where is this dance you are talking about?� asked Tenten.

She had agreed??? She
really had agreed!!!! His head was spinning, his heart was racing and his face
split up in a wide happy grin. �

�Shareta Restaurant is
the place that are having the dance,� said Kankurou.

�Alright, I know where it
is. I�ll meet you there, ok?�

�Ok, how about eight
o�clock?� asked Kankurou, still in a daze that she actually had said yes to a
date with him.

�Eight o�clock, alright �
I�ll meet you there?�

�Ok, see you tonight then
Tenten-chan,� said Kankurou and left before he could ruin the whole thing, like
trying to grab her softer parts or something.

Tenten saw his retrieving
form and for the first time she was actually very confused. When she had met him
every other day before he had always tried to grope her or he�d come up with
some stupid pick up lines to get her to date him. But now he just gave her
flowers, asked her to come to a dance with him and then he left. Yes, Tenten was
confused as she put her nose into one of the roses again and breathed in its
scent.

Her confusion was
interrupted when she heard Neji�s voice call out her name. She turned around and
saw her former team mate stand there with a smile on his lips.

�Hello Tenten, what�s
with the flowers?� asked Neji with his deep baritone voice and that got Tenten
to blush a bit.

�Kankurou brought them
for me� He asked me out to a dance at the Shareta Restaurant this evening,� said
Tenten truthfully.

�They are having a
dance?�

�Yeah, apparently they
do.�

�Hmm, perhaps I should
ask Temari-san if she wants to go with me,� said Neji more to himself than to
Tenten.

�You like that sand girl
don�t you?� said Tenten with a soft smile as she saw Neji�s cheeks turn cherry
red and he began to stutter out excuses about them just being friends and
nothing else. �Don�t do that Neji-kun, I know that you like her and I think it�s
a great idea to take her to the dance too.�

Neji sighed in defeat.
Tenten could always read his mind even without having any special powers or
something. He nodded, perhaps it would be an idea to ask Temari if she wanted to
come with him to the dance. And a dance meant that you could dance with a
person, a slow dance meant that you could have that person close to you. That
thought alone made Neji agree more than eagerly to the suggestion. Yes, he would
ask her to come with him to the dance. But instead of humiliating himself more,
he asked Tenten why she had agreed to go with Kankurou.

�W-well� he was sweet�
a-and he brought me flowers�� mumbled Tenten as a blush covered her face and she
began to fiddle with the roses she got from the puppet-master.

�You like him,� stated
Neji with a soft smirk.

�N-No I don�t, not like
that anyway,� stuttered Tenten mortified.

�You do, and don�t deny
it Tenten, I have watched you and I have watched him. You like each other.�

�Well, you like
Temari-san so who are you to talk mister!!??� snapped Tenten.

�Yes, I like her very
much, but I am not in denial as you are Tenten,� said Neji and laughed quietly.

�Shut up!!�

Neji just chuckled and
left the weapons master behind. She would come to her senses soon enough. And
Neji had other business to attend to at the moment. He had a blond woman he
wanted to ask out on a date.

Tenten growled in anger
as she collected the shurikens from her target practice and put them inside her
pockets and then she left for home. She had to decide what to wear for the
evening.

~*~*~*~*~

Hinata had seen the flyer
too and she was about to ask Gaara if he wanted to go with her to the dance. But
she was afraid that he would say no, that those kinds of things were not his
thing. She knew that he liked to go and have dinner at that place because they
had booths that could shield them off from others visitors. She knew that he
liked solitude and walks in the forest and in the park was something he enjoyed.
But she really wanted to go and she had this twisted idea that she wanted to
show everyone that even a shy and timid girl like herself could find someone to
love and be loved by.

�Hinata, what are you
thinking about?� asked Gaara as he came up to her where she was sitting in the
garden of the Uchiha compound.

�Nothing special,�
mumbled Hinata and blushed lightly as she felt his hand on her shoulder. She
turned her head to look at him and she could see the concerned look in his
aquamarine eyes. �Nothing at all really�.�

�Hinata, you will never
be able to lie to me�. tell me what�s wrong,� demanded the sand using ninja as
his arm moved around and was placed on her shoulders to pull her closer to him
as they sat on the bench in the beautiful zen-garden.

Hinata sighed with a soft
smile on her lips. No she would never be able to lie to him and she turned her
gaze towards the clear blue autumn sky. �There is a dance at one of the
restaurants tonight� I really want to go to that dance with you. But I know that
you hate crowds and I will not force you to take me. But it would be nice to
break away from the ordinary routine,� she said.

�If that is what you
want, then I�ll take you there,� said Gaara and put his free hand under her chin
and gently forced her to look at him again. �Never hide the things you want
Hinata.�

�You don�t have to
Gaara-sama, you don�t like crowds and��

He silenced her by
putting a finger on her lips. �I want to take you� As long as I�m with you I
don�t care about crowds��

Hinata blushed when she
felt his finger against her lips and her eyes became wider as he removed it and
his face came closer.

�You make me complete
Hinata, with you I can be myself without feeling feared or rejected,� whispered
Gaara as he closed the small space between them and placed a light kiss on her
trembling lips.

Hinata gasped lightly as
Gaara kissed her. It was innocent and sweet but suddenly she felt the need to
feel more of him. She parted her lips a bit and suddenly she could feel the tip
of his tongue enter her mouth. The gently caressing made her shiver and her hand
came up and was placed on his cheek, gently stroking that sand covered skin.
Oh, how she wished she could feel the warmth of his skin instead of that
coldness that his demon spirit covered his body with.

Gaara felt warmth seep
through his soul as Hinata responded to his kiss. Feeling her melt against his
form, tasting her mouth like he did right now, it all made him feel something
that made his world shake at its foundations. Her sweet innocence, the knowledge
that she would set his interest in front of her own wantings made him want to do
anything for her. If she wanted to go to a dance, he would take her there. He
didn�t care that the Shukaku moved restlessly inside him, trying to get him not
to do it. Stupid humans that he was not allowed to kill and taste their blood
did not equal as fun in the demon spirit�s mind.

�G-Gaara�� she let out a
soft moan as he nibbled at her lower lip with his teeth and she seemed to fuse
against his body.

�I�ll take you to this
dance Hinata and don�t worry about me, if you are with me I can go against any
crowd out there,� said Gaara as he brushed his thumb over her peach soft cheek.
�Now� go home and eat something and then I�ll come and get you around eight
o�clock.�

Hinata nodded and rose to
her feet as Gaara did the same. She looked at him and blushed a bit before
rising up on her toes and placed another kiss on his lips and then she ran out
of the garden, out of the Uchiha mansion.

Gaara saw her fleeing
form and he smiled gently before he noticed his older sister looking at him from
the door way that led to the garden.

~*~*~*~*~

Temari had seen her
brother steal a kiss from the timid young Hyuuga-heiress and it made her warm.
She knew that the shy girl really liked her baby brother and she wouldn�t hold
anything against him. Sasuke and Naruto had spoken the truth that day when she
and Kankurou came to visit them in order to find out what kind of person Hinata
was.

�Temari-neechan�, what
are you looking at? Why are you smiling?� asked Gaara coldly as he came up to
the door and looked into his sisters dark blue eyes.

�I�m happy for you Gaara,
very happy. She�s a nice girl and I like her,� said Temari without answering his
questions. �So you are going to take her to this dance-thing?�

�Yes, she wants to go and
I�ve promised that I would take her.�

�Good, I hope you have a
nice time little brother,� said Temari softly.

But Gaara could detect
the sadness in her voice. �Something�s bothering you neechan?� he asked as he
walked into the kitchen and put on the tea pot on the stove. �You want tea?�

�Yes, please� and yes�
Something�s bothering me� Hearing you two talk made me want to go to the dance
too,� said Temari and was surprised that her brother could read her so well.

�You want Neji-san to ask
you if you want to go too?� It was more of a statement than a question.

�Yes� that I would want
very much,� answered Temari truthfully as she sat down at the low table and
watched how Gaara placed two tea cups on the dark teak.

�Why don�t you ask him
instead?�

Temari blushed was not
able to answer the question because there was a knock on the door. She excused
herself and went to open the door.

Gaara smiled as he
overheard the voice asking his sister to this dance-thing. It ended up with
Gaara drinking his tea alone. But he smiled, he was happy that his sister had
found that special someone to care for just as he had found such person too.

~*~*~*~*~

But not everyone looked
forward to the event that would be spoken of in years to come. Tsunade groaned
as Shizune rambled about of the dance that was going to take place in the
largest of Konoha�s restaurants. Sure she liked to party, but right now she
wanted only one thing � or rather, one person. Shikamaru was not going to leave
her imagination any time soon. She wanted that teenaged young man so badly that
she was ready to break any moral laws that existed.

So she was old, she
should be all wrinkly and stuff, but due to her special jutsu, she didn�t look
more than 30 years old. And he was nineteen, that would only make it eleven
years of difference� Tsunade bit her lip as she looked at her phone. Could she
call Shikamaru and ask him to accompany her to the dance�? Or would that be too
forward?

�But I really want to
go with him� I want to feel loved again, I want to have someone to care for just
like I cared for Dan. Why can�t I have that again?�
she thought as her painted finger nails tapped against the phone in front of
her.

And before she knew it
she had picked up the phone and dialled Shikamaru�s number.

~*~*~*~*~

Shikamaru dragged himself
out of his sofa and walked over to the phone to answer it. �What?� he mumbled
into the receiver as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He had managed to fall
asleep on his couch again.

�Shikamaru-kun, did I
disturb you?� came a voice over the phone that Shikamaru knew all to well. His
eyes widened a bit and he straightened his back.

�Hokage-sama� No, I just
rested a bit. Can I be of service?� he asked as his body throbbed with the
unleashed desire he held for his leader.

�I have been informed
that there will be a dance tonight at Konoha�s largest restaurants. And I want
to go there, and I need my number one genius captain with me,� said Tsunade.

�Ehhh?�

�Since many people might
be there, it can produce troubles. Will you come with me Shikamaru-kun?� asked
Tsunade.

It didn�t really sound
like it but� did she asked him out on a date?? He cleared his throat and
answered her.

�Of course I�ll come with
you Hokage-sama, if you ask me to.�

�Good, pick me up at the
office around eight o�clock,� she said and forced her blush down. She knew that
it must sound very strange in his ears, his leader asking him to accompany her
to a dance. �Almost like a date or something�But at
least I get to spend some time with him, and in a place where I can�t molest
him, there will be too many people there.�

�Yes, Tsunade-sama, I�ll
pick you up around eight o�clock,� said Shikamaru and felt his hands become
sweaty and his heart was beginning to act up, almost as if he was nervous. But
he was never nervous.

�Good, see you then
Shikamaru-kun,� said Tsunade and hung up the phone, her hand shivering as she
did. �Oh, dear�. I really did it� and he said yes� Ihhh, but what am I going
to wear?�

Yes, Tsunade did suffer
from this female problem too from time to time. What was she going to wear??

~*~*~*~*~

Iruka felt cold as he
walked home from school this Friday afternoon. He would walk home to an empty
apartment and he didn�t like it. He had been so used that Kakashi would be there
with him that he could barely imagine anything else. He had gotten used to
cuddle up next to the tall jounin, knowing he was loved and cared for. He sighed
and looked at the colourful trees he passed. It had just been a day and he
missed Kakashi so much it hurt just thinking about him being away.

�IRUKA-SENSEI!!� A
familiar cheery voice called out to him and he turned his head and saw Naruto
come running towards him, behind came the ever present Uchiha.

�They are always
together now and I�m happy for them. I always thought that they would end up
together�� Iruka thought but
then the air was pushed out of his lungs when Naruto hugged him tightly.

�Ouch, take it easy
Naruto� What�s with the bear hug?� asked Iruka and smiled at his �son�. He
noticed that Naruto didn�t wear his usual clothing; instead he had a pair of
black sweat pants and a large jacket that was covering a dark blue sweat shirt.
It was odd; he never had seen Naruto in such clothes.

Naruto practically jumped
up and down until Sasuke put an arm around his waist and calmed him down. �You
see, Naruto wants to tell you something,� said Sasuke and smiled a bit when he
saw Naruto�s cheeks flare in an interesting red colour.

�Oh, what is it Naruto?�

�Not here, but if you
promise that you�ll make me some ramen we can come to your place,� grinned
Naruto and leaned against Sasuke�s form. The avenger just hugged him more
tightly and he could tell that Sasuke wanted this just as much as he did. To
tell Iruka about the baby. He wasn�t sure how Iruka would take it, but he wanted
to tell the man that acted like his father for so many years now to know what
happened these last couple of weeks, the last month and a half.

�Alright Naruto, I�ll
make you some ramen, at my place. Come along boys,� said Iruka and patted
Naruto�s head and took the lead towards his apartment.

Iruka set about to make
some ramen the moment they came into his home. But he could still feel the
slight chill it gave him to know that he was going to spend the night alone
again. Last night had been awful and he knew that this night would be just as
horrible. But he didn�t show anything to the boys; no he put on a fake mask and
asked Naruto what it was he wanted to tell Iruka.

�Uhm� well� Y-you know
that Sasuke and I are together?� Naruto began, almost mumbling out the words.

�It is kind of hard not
noticing it when you walk around town and every now and then have a make out
session in the public places,� said Iruka with a soft smile. �Plus, I was at the
onsen when you two decided to take a step closer to each other. But don�t worry;
it was just me who saw you there.�

�Ohh�� Naruto�s face
turned beet red as he remembered the occasion. And Sasuke had a soft dusky
colour over his nose too.

�And I am happy for you.
I always thought you two would end up together, but I am surprised that it has
taken you so long to come here and tell me in person, Naruto,� said Iruka,
lightly scolding the blonde boy.

�I�m sorry Iruka-sensei,
I really am� �

�Don�t worry about it, so
what else did you have in mind when you wanted to come here and have some free
ramen?�

Sasuke sat down and
pulled Naruto down to sit in his lap. His hands were placed on the little bump
on Naruto�s stomach and he placed his head on Naruto�s shoulder. He smiled
softly as Naruto began to stutter out what happened to him.

�Well, you see� uhm� You
know about the Kyuubi right? Uhm� she�s did something to me� so Sasuke here
could get his heir, so he could make sure that his b-blood line wouldn�t die
out��

Iruka�s eyes widened as
his son began to stutter out the reason to why Naruto wanted to talk to him. He
stopped in mid movement as he noticed the way Sasuke was stroking Naruto�s
stomach and then when Naruto talked about being tampered with so Sasuke could
have his heir� �No frigging way??!!!�

�What are you saying
Naruto?� whispered Iruka as his hand tightened on the plate he was holding in
his hand.

�What he�s saying
Iruka-sensei, is that he�s expecting our child,� said Sasuke as he noticed that
Naruto was a bit too shaky to continue. He gently rubbed his stomach and nuzzled
Naruto�s neck to get him to calm down.

Even though his brain
already had suspected that answer it didn�t matter. Iruka fell flat down on a
chair, the plate of ramen splashed out on the floor. No matter how much he
tried, he just couldn�t accept it. It was just not normal. His little Naruto was
a boy for crying out loud. And boys did not� I repeat DID NOT GO AROUND AND GET
THEMSELVES PREGNANT!!

�Iruka-sensei�, hey� are
you ok?� asked Naruto worriedly.

Iruka shook his head
violently. No, he was definitive not ok. His mute answer made Naruto get up and
searched his lockers and found a bottle of sake and filled a small cup and gave
it to Iruka. �Here, take this, I�m sure you need it,� mumbled Naruto. He was
afraid that he might have made Iruka disgusted or something.

Iruka gulped down the
strong alcohol and took a deep breathe before looking at Naruto and then at
Sasuke and then back to Naruto again. �You are not pulling my leg here�. are
you?�

�No, of course not, why
would we joke about something like that?� asked Naruto and smiled nervously. His
hand came down and closed over the little bulge. �You want to see?�

�Ehh?�

�I�m beginning to show a
little, you wanna see?� asked Naruto again and blushed lightly.

�Do I really want to
see??� Iruka silently questioned himself but before his mind could decide, his
heart had done it for him. He nodded.

Naruto pulled up the hem
of his jacket and shirt and pulled down his trousers just so Iruka could see the
little bulge and the faintly glowing seal on his stomach. He saw that Iruka
looked at him with wide eyes and his hand moved forward in slow motion before it
was placed on Naruto�s stomach, but as soon as his fingers touched skin he
pulled back as if he had burned himself.

�Naruto�� whispered Iruka
stunned.

�I�m sorry Iruka-sensei��

�W-what� why are you
sorry?�

�You don�t like it do
you?� mumbled Naruto devastated.

Sasuke saw the tears that
began to shimmer in Naruto�s eyes and he stood up and walked over to his lover
and hugged him from behind. He could see that Naruto was distressed by Iruka�s
response and wanted to comfort him.

Iruka felt crushed as he
saw the small tears that rolled down Naruto�s whiskered face. He shot up and put
his arms around both boys and hugged them. Naruto�s arms came around his midriff
and his face was buried in Iruka�s chest.

�Naruto, Sasuke� I�m
sorry. It just shocked me� Of course I�m happy for you,� said Iruka with a voice
thick of emotions. �You are my boy Naruto, and if you have found happiness with
Sasuke and somehow are able to give him a child� I am happy� Sorry for being
such a poor father and for how I acted up��

�Iruka-sensei?� sniffed
Naruto when he heard Iruka actually call him his son. That made Naruto�s heart
swell over and now he was crying violently. �Damn these emotions� does every
woman go through this?� he quietly asked as his whole body rocked with sobs.

Sasuke was the only one
that managed to keep his emotions in check as the other two cried their hearts
out and hugged each other. But he was happy for Naruto. He knew that the blonde
boy had seen Iruka as a father figure, but never said anything about it. And see
another person take his lover to their hearts made Sasuke�s soul feel very good.
Naruto needed it. He pulled away and that made Naruto turn his head towards him.

�I�m going to run some
errands, Naruto. Stay here with Iruka-sensei and I�ll come back within an hour
or so. It looks as if you two need some time alone,� said Sasuke and brushed his
thumb over a wet, whiskered cheek.

�Sasuke�?�

�Don�t worry, I�ll be
back before you have time to miss me,� said Sasuke with a light smirk.

Naruto nodded and saw
Sasuke walk out of the kitchen and two seconds he was gone.

�Let me clean up the mess
before I slip and hurt my ass, and then we can make more ramen and you�ll tell
me everything from the beginning, ok Naruto?� said Iruka as he let go of the
young man.

�Alright Iruka-sensei,�
said Naruto and brushed the last tears away from his face with the back of his
hand.

�Why do you continue
calling me sensei, Naruto? I have not been your teacher in many years.�

�Old habits are hard to
kill I guess,� said Naruto with his trade mark fox grin.

�I guess you are right,�
answered Iruka and answered that smile with one of his own grins.

~*~*~*~*~

Sasuke was actually happy
that Naruto stayed behind with Iruka. That meant that he could purchase a few
books that he thought would come in handy. But that also meant that he would be
exposed to new rumours in this town. �Yeah, which girl in Konoha have been
impregnated by the Uchiha-heir?� he mentally snorted. Yes, he could already
hear them spread around town like a wild fire. But he hated not knowing things
and he wanted to know about pregnancies and what he could expect from Naruto in
the future. And of course� how the hell did you take care of small people�
babies???

So the proud Uchiha had
to swallow that pride and risk the fact that rumours would appear after his
visit to the local book store. But he was in luck, he was the only customer at
the moment, and he took his time to look at the section where he thought he
would find the books he was looking for. He found some and grabbed them and was
about to round a corner when he almost fell over a crouching person.

A person which hair
looked as if it were made out of red flames. �Gaara??�

�Uchiha�� was the
Kazekage�s only reply.

�Gaara-san, what are you
doing here?� asked Sasuke and then his eyes landed on the book Gaara had in his
hand. �How to make your woman happy by Jiraya-sama��

�Nothing, but I see that
you have found some interesting books,� said Gaara in retaliation as he saw the
smirk on the Uchiha�s lips.

�Don�t worry, I will not
tell anyone if you can keep your mouth shut too,� said Sasuke as his smirk grew
wider when he saw Gaara�s eyes narrow a bit.

�Fine, I will not speak
about your purchases.�

�Good, but a little
advice, anything written by the great Jiraiya-sama shall not be applied when you
just begun dating a girl, he�s a major pervert� just for you to know Gaara-san,�
said Sasuke and turned to the clerk to pay for the books he had picked up.

Once he had the books in
a bag he walked out and then took the detour to his and Naruto�s place and hid
the books in his part of the closet. He was not very willing to share his thirst
for knowledge, but he knew that he had to show Naruto someday, they were two in
this and his lover should know about things too. Sasuke sighed and opened the
fridge and grabbed a bottle of water and gulped down half of the content before
he decided he would go back to Iruka�s place again.

~*~*~*~*~

Gaara cursed as he walked
out of the book store. He had been relieved to notice that it was empty as he
went inside. He wanted to do something for Hinata, but he had no idea on what.
And asking his sister was out of the question, he would not humiliate himself
like that, she would probably laugh at him. And Kankurou? No, that bastard had
done enough damage with that poker thingy. No, Gaara wanted to gain the
knowledge on his own and decided the best way was to read books.

And with the all the
people in Konoha it was the Uchiha that had walked in on him while reading the
back side of a book which later was said that was written by a major pervert.
Perhaps Gaara should be grateful but somehow he just felt embarrassed beyond
words. Well, he had found another book that had another author and he was now
headed towards the park to find a secluded spot where he could read it in peace.
He had a few more hours before he would pick up Hinata. Yes, he would use these
hours to research how to court a woman properly. But nagging in the back of his
head was the fact that he one day would have to return to his village and leave
everything behind. His heart did not like that. Actually he had come to like
this village over the weeks he had stayed her with his siblings and he could
easily tell that they liked it here too. Perhaps he should pass on his title to
Baki instead. His former teacher was probably much more suited for this Kazekage
title anyway. Gaara sighed as he found a tree that still held a rather luscious
amount of leafs and he gathered chakra under his feet and jumped up and sat down
on a large branch with his back against the trunk. He fished out the book from
his jacket and began to read, not wanting to think about what would happen if he
left Konoha and Hinata behind.
****************
A little bit of this and
a little bit of that.
And a shit load to do at

Sorry to say folks, but I don't think I can have another chapter up in a week or
so...

Please forgive me... I'll try and write on the next chapter whenever I can.
