~*~* 19 *~*~

Naruto hugged Iruka one
last time before leaving his teacher�s apartment. He had found out that Iruka
too had found someone special and that one was his other teacher, Kakashi. He
had been surprised but happy. As long as his father was happy, Naruto was happy.
He could also understand that Iruka now felt alone when the scarecrow was away
on a mission. What mission Iruka didn�t say, but Naruto knew that Iruka was
worried about him. �I would be worried too if Sasuke was sent away.�

�Naruto, what are you
thinking about?� asked Sasuke as he unlocked the door to their place.

�About Iruka� and
Kakashi. Iruka-sensei said that they were together just like we are,� said
Naruto and looked up into Sasuke�s dark eyes. He saw a slight surprise in those
black pools, but then his lover just smiled.

�Actually I am not that
surprised, Kakashi-sensei has dropped a few strange excuses when he showed up
late. You know � the time he said he had to help a dolphin with his paper works
and stuff like that,� said Sasuke as he moved them both to the sofa and sat down
and pulled Naruto down in his lap.

Naruto silently agreed to
that as he cuddled up in Sasuke�s arms. He really didn�t like this soft, mushy
side of him that switched on and off depending on how his hormones were moving
inside him. But at the same time it felt really good. Sasuke brushed his fingers
through his blonde hair and Naruto knew that he could fall asleep like this.

�Hey, Naruto� You want to
go out and have dinner tonight?� Sasuke suddenly asked out of the blue as he
remembered the flyer that sat outside the book shop. It announced that a dance
would take place at one of the largest restaurants in Konoha and he guessed that
many of their friends were going to be there. Not that Sasuke was that found of
parties of any kind, but if Naruto wanted to go, he would go too.

�Ehh?�

�I thought it might be
nice to go out and have some dinner, what do you think?� asked Sasuke again as
he nuzzled his face against Naruto�s whiskered cheek, breathing in his scent.
Gods, he loved this smell of sun and oranges.

�You mean� like a date or
something?�

�Like a date, love,� said
Sasuke with a soft smile that was only reserved for his blonde dobe.

Naruto practically purred
his consent to the idea. �Yeah, that would be really nice Sasuke. Perhaps we
meet some of our friends there too?�

�We just might, it�s a
dance there tonight too. I�m sure that we will be able to see some of our
friends there.�

�He, he, you think Gaara
have the balls to ask Hinata-chan out?� chuckled Naruto.

�I have no idea, but I
wouldn�t put it pass him,� answered Sasuke and remembered the flustered Kazekage
from the book store. �I�m actually pretty sure we�ll
meet both Gaara and Hinata there tonight.�

�So when are we going?�
asked Naruto as began to feel as if he had to run to the bathroom. He had done a
bit of that lately and he guessed it was because the little critter was growing
inside him and it was affecting his bladder.

�Well, I thought we could
be there around seven or eight, how does that sound to you?�

�Fine, but now� I need to
pee,� squealed Naruto and jumped out of Sasuke�s lap and made a dash for the
bathroom.

Sasuke laughed softly as
he got up and headed for the kitchen to drink some water. He was glad that
Naruto had liked the idea of going out. And they never had an actual date
before. It could turn out really nice the Uchiha thought as he gulped down the
bottled water before hearing the sound of the toilet being flushed. Soon after
Naruto came into the kitchen with a small embarrassed smile on his lips. Sasuke
ignored it and just pulled his lover into his arms and kissed him passionately.

�So what do you say about
a shower, koibito?� asked Sasuke seductively and saw the colour on Naruto�s
cheeks deepen. Yes, his lover would very much like to have a shower.

~*~*~*~*~
# Friday Evening #

Tenten was beginning to
feel a little bit irritated. She had made a deal with Kankurou that she would
meet him here outside the dance at eight o�clock. She had been here ten minutes
before scheduled time and now her watch said it was ten minutes passed eight.
She had one of the roses he had given her behind her ear. Her hair that
otherwise always was put up in two buns was now flowing like a river of tar down
her back. She wore a pink, satin dress with Chinese dragons sown into it. She
got a lot of complementing looks from the single men that entered the restaurant
but she ignored them. And now he was twenty minutes late. �I�ll give him ten
more minutes, if he doesn�t show up by then, I�m going home again!!� she
thought angrily. She had seen Temari and Neji enter the restaurant, she had seen
Tsunade-sama, escorted by Shikamaru, now this was odd, because Shikamaru looked
as if he had put some effort behind dressing himself this evening, but the ever
present jounin-west was on him and that made Tenten pretty sure that the reason
he was here was because it was work-related.

But just after she had
said hello to Hinata and her Kazekage, she met this person, this really
beautiful man. He walked up to her and bowed but didn�t say anything. Tenten
blushed a bit as she tried to figure out if she had met this guy before or if he
was from out of town. He held out his arm and she shot one last glance at her
watch and decided that Kankurou�s time was up. �And why not enjoy myself with
this hottie instead of going home?� she thought and placed her arm around
his and they walked inside.

He took Tenten to a table
that had been reserved for him and he just smiled and again Tenten was filled
with the suspicion that she actually knew this guy. Why did he seem so familiar
and yet she was pretty sure that she never had seen him before. A waiter came up
with a bottle of red wine and served them. The silent man held his light brown
eyes on Tenten and she felt a little bit uncomfortable and she made sure that
she could reach her hidden weapons if it was needed. �Perhaps this was a
stupid idea after all�?� she pondered as he raised his glass and motioned
her to do the same. They put their glasses together and the man spoke for the
first time.

�To us Tenten-chan and to
our evening,� he said and smiled as Tenten�s face dropped to the ground.

�No way!!???�

�I�m sorry I was late,�
said the man as he smiled softly.

�Kankurou??�

�Did you have a date with
someone else perhaps?� asked the brown eyed man as the smile grew wider. �Don�t
tell me that you didn�t know it was me?�

Tenten blushed darkly as
she began to fiddle with the glass in her hand before she gulped down the red
content in one swoop.

�Don�t worry Tenten-chan,
I�m happy that I was able to surprise you a bit,� said Kankurou as he refilled
her glass with more wine. The waiter came back and Kankurou asked him to take in
the orders that he had made before he came here.

�You are a man of many
secrets Kankurou,� said Tenten as she began to relax a bit, most probably
because the wine began to work its way through her system.

�Or you could just say
that it sometimes pays off to be the brother of the Kazekage. But never mind
that � I think you look just heavenly tonight Tenten-chan, you should wear you
hair down more often,� said Kankurou as he let his eyes roam over her features
again.

Tenten couldn�t help it,
she smiled as a new blush covered her face. He really knew how to sweet talk
sometimes. But he also showed her a new side of himself, a side that she found
to be very pleasant. She decided she would give him this chance and then see
what would happen.

~*~*~*~*~

Tsunade had gotten a real
shock as her favourite jounin came to the Hokage-tower to escort her to Shareta.
He was dressed in black slacks, a black silk shirt even if he covered up most of
it by the west. A quick look at his feet told the Hokage that he didn�t wear the
blue sandals that otherwise was so common in the ninja society. She forced down
the blush that threatened to cover her face as he held up the door so she could
step outside her office.

They walked in silence
towards the restaurant and she cursed silently as her stomach began to act up a
bit. She was feeling a bit giddy, just like a young woman that was going out on
her first date. �Get a hold of your self. He doesn�t care for old ladies like
yourself. You are just a fool thinking otherwise,� her common sense told her
as she walked next to the tall jounin that held her heart.

�Tsunade-sama?� said
Shikamaru when he saw the troubled look on Tsunade�s face.

�Mm, what Shikamaru-kun?�

�You look troubled. Do
you suspect that something bad will happen tonight?� asked Shikamaru as his dark
grey eyes watched her face. He was worried about her and he could clearly see
that there was something troubling her.

Tsunade shook her blonde
head and looked forward towards the entrance of the restaurant. They were here.
She saw the young woman that could handle every weapon there was and she nodded
a �hello� to her before she walked inside the place and Shikamaru followed her.
Once inside her favourite jounin walked up to the bar and ordered two bottled
water. They were here on duty so no alcohol was allowed. She sighed as she
unscrewed the bottle he gave her. �I wished I could tell you that this was
something else than a mission�� she thought as she downed down the water.

But just a moment later
he handed her a cocktail and she looked a bit surprised up at him. �This isn�t
really a mission is it?�

�I hate his brain
sometimes�� she thought as
she took the cocktail glass and shook her head. �I�m sorry Shikamaru-kun, but
this was the only way I could get out with a date at my side,� she said and saw
that he too had a glass in his hand.

�No�. all you had to do
was ask�. Tsunade-hime,� said Shikamaru as his cheeks bloomed red and he turned
away so she couldn�t see his predicament.

Tsunade could feel her
heart melt at his comment and she placed her hand on his shoulder to get him to
look at her again and he did. �Thank you� that made me very happy
Shikamaru-kun,� she said softly and nodded a bit.

Shikamaru tried in his
own way to cover up his bold statement by asking something even bolder: �Then
perhaps my Hokage would agree to join me in the next slow dance?�

Tsunade blushed and
nodded as she was given a new drink, a Long Island tea.

~*~*~*~*~

Gaara was stunned as he
saw the angelic apparition in the doorway to the Hyuuga-mansion. Hinata was
dressed in a long white, slimmed dress; over her shoulder was a pearly grey cape
with a large hood. She looked as if she had been taken out of a fairytale or
something. His mouth dried up and he had no words to greet her as she stepped
out of the large sliding doors of her family�s residence.

�Gaara-sama,� she greeted
him as she stepped out from her family�s home.

�H-Hinata-san�� he
stammered and for the first time in his life he was suffering from a loss of
words.

�You look very handsome
Gaara-sama,� said Hinata quietly and blushed as she saw his eyes wander up and
down her body. And she didn�t lie either. Gaara was dressed in a pair of
burgundy coloured pants. The ninja-pouch was taped against his right thigh, he
had a burgundy shirt and the ever present gourd was on his back, but he looked
very handsome and she took his hand and gently motioned him to come with her.
And he never lost his grip on her hand as they walked towards the place that
held the dance this night.

But Gaara couldn�t hold
it back, he had to taste her again. And as they passed through the park where he
had seen her do her little water ballet jutsu, he grabbed her waist with his arm
and pulled her up close into his embrace. His sea green eyes locked with her
lavender white ones and he gently brushed his finger tips over her soft cheek.

�Hinata-san�. You make me
feel strange,� he mumbled as he watched the emotions of surprise wash over her
face as he touched her.

�Gaara-sama�. I think I
make you feel�. emotions,� said Hinata as she blushed and her hand came up and
covered his as he cupped her cheek.

�Emotions�. Is that a
good thing?� asked Gaara as he watched his precious pearl smile back at him.

�Emotions prove that you
are human, Gaara-sama,� said Hinata as she waited for him to kiss her again.
Since the moment he kissed her earlier that day, she had waited for him to kiss
her again and this would be the perfect time for one of those things.

�Do you see me as human,
Hinata-san?�

�You are human,
Gaara-sama, never think anything else.�

�I must go back to Suna
soon�. But I will come back��

�And I�ll be here when
you come back�� whispered Hinata when she caught on what he wanted to tell her.
�No matter how long it�ll take� I will be here� waiting � for you Gaara.�

It was all he needed to
hear and his lips descended down on hers, capturing them in a passionate kiss.
He silently promised her that he would come back for her, no matter what, he
would come back here and claim her fully and she gave her consent to that
wordless promise by kissing him back.

Their kisses grew more
and more passionate and suddenly Gaara pulled away, but his hands was still on
her body and he nodded in unspoken terms that he would go through the pits of
hell to keep his promise to her. He would come back and claim her as his own.

Hinata understood and
nodded as her left fingers were woven with his right ones. Together they walked
to the dance that Gaara had promised to take her to.

~*~*~*~*~

Ino, the blonde girl that
in the past always could be seen with Shikamaru and Choji, was sitting alone at
one of the booths and she looked over the dancing floor and was shocked. She saw
several things or rather, several pairs that rocked her stone pillars. She
couldn�t help but smile as a dressed up Shikamaru came in the company of their
beloved Hokage. Try as he might � but the lazy jounin couldn�t hide the fact
from Ino and she knew that he was in seventh heaven at the moment.

And seeing Naruto in the
company of her former �I�ll be your girl forever� Sasuke-kun, didn�t faze her at
all � that was a pair bound by fate to be together. But what struck her as odd
was the fact that her best friend and rival was not anywhere to be seen. Where
was Sakura??? �Come to think about it� I have not seen her in over a month�.�
thought the blonde mind trixing kunoichi. But then she just shrugged and guessed
that her friend was on a long termed mission or something therefore she had
missed the fact that her former team-mates now were a couple. �A couple that
anyone with eyes in their heads could predict would happen in the long run��
she thought with a small smile on her lips.

Yes, Ino had seen the
signs between Sasuke and Naruto long before they showed it to the rest of the
world. She knew that they would end up together in one way or another. Was she
jealous? A bit� but she liked Naruto and if he was with Sasuke and was happy or
the other way around, she wasn�t complaining. She was happy for them both.

~*~*~*~*~

�Naruto-chan�� purred
Sasuke as he held his fox closer as he moved over the dance floor. They had a
few eyebrows to rise as Sasuke pulled Naruto onto the dance-floor, but the
Uchiha couldn�t care less. He wanted to dance with his beautiful lover and he
would kill anyone that dared to say anything about him.

Naruto couldn�t do
anything else but melt into his lover�s embrace as he folded his arms around the
blonde. Gods, if he were to die now, he would die a happy man. Kiba and Shino,
newly returned from a mission came up to them and said their congratulations to
their relationship and suddenly it became clear to Naruto that they too had a
relationship. Naruto smiled and whished them the same as he was moved away due
to Sasuke�s strong arms. And who could�ve known that the Uchiha was such an
excellent dancer?

Sasuke moved the man that
carried his offspring with the utmost gentleness, he just enjoyed the fact that
Naruto liked to be hugged by him in public, not to mention that the blonde boy
didn�t put any effort to hide the fact that they were together, in fact, he said
that he wanted Shino and Kiba to be happy in their relationship too. So the dog
boy and the bug-lover was a pair? That was more than he could�ve suspected, but
not that Sasuke cared. All he was caring about at the moment was the fact that
Naruto was rubbing against his ever hardening body. He wanted Naruto so badly
that he was ready to strip the blonde boy right here on the dance floor.

�Sasuke� what are you
doing?� asked Naruto as his blue eyes turned towards to look up into Sasuke�s
charcoal ones.

�Do you have any idea of
what your rubbing is doing to me Naruto-chan?� whispered Sasuke heatedly and
pressed against the young man in his arms.

Naruto�s gaze lowered and
he saw the bulge in Sasuke�s pants. �Ohh, you are hard,� he stated innocently
and pushed his pelvis against that hardness, pulling out a dark, raspy sound
from Sasuke. Blame it on hormones or wicked, invisible devils or what ever, but
Naruto tried his best to arouse his stoic lover at this point.

�Naruto..� growled the
Uchiha-heir as his blonde fox began to rub himself against him in earnest.

�Why did you take me here
when you wanted me stripped naked on a bed, Sasuke?� asked Naruto seductively as
he rose to his feet to lick the outer shell of Sasuke�s ear.

Sasuke let out an
animalistic purr when he felt the wet tongue move over the sensitive areas of
his ear. And why had he taken Naruto here when he could have his little fox-boy
stripped and butt-naked on a bed at home instead? On a bed where he could fuck
him into the mattress? �Oh, yes, I promised him that I
would take him here on a date� but why has he to rub against me like that???�

Naruto could feel his
lover�s predicament and gently guided him over to one of the booths in the
darkness of the restaurant. Before Sasuke could stop him, Naruto had undone his
pants and held his throbbing erection in his hand. Naruto looked up into
Sasuke�s stunned face as his lips moved down to engulf his lover�s length.

Sasuke couldn�t believe
it. Naruto was giving him a blow job right here at the club. But he couldn�t
deny that the fox-boy�s lips felt good, just feeling that tongue move over his
sensitive tip made Sasuke snarl in pure pleasure. His fingers grabbed hold of
golden strands and he pushed Naruto�s head against his groin.

Naruto tasted the
transparent precum that seem to be oozing out of Sasuke�s tip. He had aroused
his lover to the point where he was practically was weeping at the moment.
Naruto didn�t mind, he truly loved the taste of Sasuke, he almost craved it. His
lips came down and engulfed Sasuke�s length and he could feel him put his hands
on the back of his head and push him down until he had taken all his length into
his mouth.

�N-Narutoooo,� growled
Sasuke as Naruto�s hand moved to cup his clothed sac, gently massaging it.

Naruto released his shaft
and looked up to see the glazed look in Sasuke�s black eyes.

�You are such a teaser,
koibito,� mumbled Sasuke as his fingers brushed over a whiskered cheek.

�Want me to finish you?�
asked Naruto without feeling guilt that they were in a public place.

�Ahhh,� moaned Sasuke as
Naruto pumped his shaft a few times. Waves of pleasure rocked him as he closed
his eyes, just waiting for Naruto to take him into his mouth again.

�Guess he wants me to
finish him right here then��
thought Naruto as he put Sasuke�s shaft back into his mouth and began to suck
his lover with earnest. He could hear the short pants, the moans from Sasuke and
Naruto knew that his lover liked what he did to him. He sucked his tip, letting
his tongue play over the small slit at the top a few times before moving his
hand down in order to take him into his mouth fully.

Sasuke could no longer
hold back, with a harsh cry he released his seed into Naruto�s mouth and seeing
the fox gulp down the essence of his pleasure made Sasuke go over the edge a
second time. And as Naruto looked up, the evidence of Sasuke�s happiness still
on his lips made Sasuke loose it. He refused to stay here at the club another
minute.

�We�re going home,� said
Sasuke as he buttoned his pants and then grabbed hold of Naruto�s hand.

�Sasuke!!�

�I don�t care, we�re
going home � NOW!!!� growled the Uchiha-heir.

Naruto grinned widely as
he waved a good bye to his friends as he was pulled outside the club.

~*~*~*~*~

Ino�s eyes were wide as
saucer the moment she realized what Naruto was doing to Sasuke in the far end of
the restaurant where the light was a bit more dim. Naruto was giving his
boyfriend a blow job, in the restaurant. �Are they crazy??? Anyone can catch
them and they will be thrown out!!� her mind screamed as she watched the
hypnotic bobbing of the blonde tussled head. She could feel something hot shoot
right through her lower stomach as Sasuke leaned his head back, his mouth opened
and she just knew that he was reaching his peak. She was glad that the music was
rather loud or else she was sure she would hear Sasuke�s cries of pleasure.
�They are nuts� simply crazy!!� But seeing Naruto come up again, lick his
lips she couldn�t help it, she began giggle nervously. Just a few seconds later
she saw a rather flustered Sasuke grab hold of his blonde lover and drag him out
of the restaurant. She grabbed her beer glass and gulped down its contents in
one sweep. Man, it was hot in here.

~*~*~*~*~

�When did my lazy but
oh, so handsome, genius ninja, learn how to dance?�
Tsunade asked herself as Shikamaru moved her around the dance floor very
gracefully. Not that she complained, not at all. She just engulfed herself in
the feelings that came from being in his strong arms. The movements of their
dancing were almost putting her into a trance and she found herself leaning her
head against his broad shoulder. He smelled of sandalwood and soap and she found
it to be very arousing.

Shikamaru was not better
off either. He was quite tall now at age nineteen and he was certainly a head
taller than his beloved leader. And just feeling her generous bosom push against
his abs made his teenaged body go wild. He closed his eyes as her arms went
around his lower ribcage and pushed even closer. �Closer and she�ll know what
I want to do with her,� he thought as he gently put his arms around her
shoulders and breathed in the scent of her shampoo. But as he whirled around
with the flow of the music he stopped caring about if she would find out or not.
He was in seventh heaven at the moment. He didn�t even notice when Sasuke
dragged his blonde lover out of the restaurant. All he cared about was the fact
that he was dancing with the woman that had been the focus for him for so long.

Tsunade had not lived for
sixty years and not learned a thing or two, the moment she pushed a little bit
closer to the tall jounin she knew that he was aroused. But his hands was not
wandering about, he just held her as they softly moved with the beats of the
current song that was played. But the knowledge that he shared the same feelings
for her as she did for him made her warm all over. At the moment she would just
bask in the knowledge that he wanted her just as much as she wanted him. If she
would act out on it? She was not sure yet, but for now she would just be happy
to feel his arms around her just as she had dreamt about for two years. �You
dirty ol� woman you�� her mind snarled as she pressed closer to the lazy
jounin. �Shut up and let me enjoy this at least,� her heart growled back
and that silenced her brain for awhile.

~*~*~*~*~

Tenten had to change her
beliefs about Kankurou. He had asked her for a dance and he proved to be a
wonderful dance-partner. He somehow just softly guided her through the music
that was played and as the tune slowed down; he pulled her into his arms and
continued to dance with her. Was she enjoying herself? You could bet your
shuriken-collection on that one.

Kankurou was not far off
either. Just feeling her close was enough to make his hentai mind work overtime.
But he bit the inside of his cheek just to keep his hands in check, he didn�t
want to spoil this evening with groping her softer parts even if his body just
screamed to find a private place and take what she could offer him. Even if he
didn�t grope her, he could tell her how he felt, he wanted her to know and if
she didn�t feel the same, he needed to know this.

�Tenten-chan, please,
tell me truthfully� do you like me?� he whispered softly into her ear as he
pulled her around as the music changed again and he looked into her dark brown
eyes.

Tenten�s eyes widened in
surprise over the straight forward question and then� and then she blushed and
avoided his piercing gaze. She couldn�t answer him, not straight into his face,
not like this. �W-why do you want t-to know?� she mumbled as she looked over the
dance-floor and saw her former team-mate put his hands on Temari�s cheeks and
then he gently kissed the sand-kunoichi. That alone made her mind go overboard
and she wanted to be kissed by Temari�s brother just like that. The blush was
inevitable in the end.

�Because Tenten-chan, you
have caught me in your net and I really like you. I like you a lot,� said
Kankurou as he put his hand on her warm cheek and gently forced her to look into
his eyes.

�Kankurou-kun� I�,� began
Tenten as she felt her voice fault her, she couldn�t get a word out at all.

But she nodded, she
couldn�t lie to him. Not straight to his face. She had tried it before and
failed and this time were even worse off, seeing his eyes, hearing his sincere
voice tell her that he liked her, how could she lie to him, especially when her
heart screamed to her that this was a man she could bet her money on.

Kankurou�s face split up
in an enormous smile and he hugged the little female ninja tightly, the dance
long forgotten at the moment. She actually liked him and that alone was enough
for the puppet-master to feel as if he owned the world this very moment. She had
nodded yes to his question if she liked him and that was a pure gold nugget. His
handsome face split up in a wide smile that could rival Naruto�s fox-grin and he
put his large hands on her tiny waist and swirled around a couple of times in
pure happiness before he let her stand on her own two feet again.

�K-Kankurou-kun???� she
mumbled.

�You Konoha-chicks really
know how to make a sand-nin go wild,� he said and he hugged her tightly again as
the music changed to become more normal, no slow dancing that is.

Tenten smiled at this and
she followed the man that had caught her interest in such a short time. �A real
pervert, but who cares ne?� she asked herself as she let him guide her through
the beats of the music. All thoughts of what was happening with her former
partner and sparring friend Neji was lost to her and she was pretty sure that
Kankurou didn�t care about his older sister either. Right now it was just the
two of them and they were ruling the dance-floor. For the first time in years,
Tenten just let go. She dropped everything and just followed the stream weather
it was going straight a head or backwards. She followed it. She followed her
heart

~*~*~*~*~

Choji entered the
restaurant and it didn�t take him long to spot Ino. You might think that the
once very chubby boy would only love food, but that was one wrong conclusion. He
had a very soft spot for his former team-mate Ino. And seeing her now sit alone
made him a little bit courageous and he walked over to her table.

�Hello Ino-chan, can I
join you or do you have company?� he asked politely. His heart melted as her
face lit up.

�Choji!! Yes, sit,
sit� I was beginning to feel lonely here!� Ino practically yelled as she grabbed
hold of Choji�s strong hand and pulled him down to sit next to her.

Choji slumped down next
to the blonde girl that he had spent most of his teenaged life with. Her hand
was still on his and he could see that she was gazing at the dance-floor. He
followed her gaze and his eyes widened just slightly when he saw Shikamaru dance
so closely as humanly possible with their leader.

�Shika has found his
heaven,� mumbled Choji as he was served a glass of beer.

�Indeed he has. And with
that statement I assume that you know about his� affection for our leader?� came
Ino�s voice a few seconds later, bursting through the swirled cheeked young
man�s thoughts.

�Yes, I have known for
quite awhile,� said Choji and turned his black eyes towards his former team
mate.

�How long have you known
about it?� asked Ino as she looked into Choji�s face. �He�s quite handsome
now�. � The random thought burst her bubble quite effectively and she
blushed a bit as his warm gaze pierced her soul.

�Two years or so. He
never said anything, but I knew. He�s lazy and a genius, but in the long run,
he�s just a man. And so am I� And even if you all think that I�m always putting
chips and barbeque meals on top � I still have eyes in my head. And Shika have
been my best friend for so long � he can not hide anything from me, not anymore.
Yes, I know about his love for our Hokage. But�. But how do you know about it
Ino-chan?

Ino giggled as she leaned
her head against Choji�s shoulder. �Call it a woman�s intuition,� she said and
smiled widely. �I�ve known about his infatuation of Tsunade-sama for quite
awhile, but this� man, this is just priceless. Just look at him Choji-kun.
Shikamaru-kun is in heaven!! He�s dancing!!�

Choji followed her blue
eyes and smiled; yes, his best friend was dancing. He was dancing with the
Hokage and he looked just like he had stepped through the gates of heaven.

�I believe you�re right
Ino-chan,� said Choji.

�This is a night for
magic and love�.� mumbled Ino and blushed lightly as she realized that she still
held a tight grip around Choji�s hand. But she didn�t pull back. She had been
right, this was a night for magic and love and suddenly she saw her former team
mate in a new light. The chubby barbeque meat loving boy had grown into a man.
And he was no longer as chubby as he had been. A large man yes, chubby man � no.
Choji was large, he was huge. 195 cm over the sea, light brown hair, broad
shoulders, muscular legs, black eyes and a heart that could swallow you whole.
Choji was a man to die for.

�Ino-chan�. Ino-chan??!!�
his voice cut through her daze and Ino suddenly found her self looking into his
eyes and she blushed. �Why have I not noticed him before?�

�S-sorry, Choji-kun� got
lost in thoughts there for a moment� Uhm� you wanna dance?� she babbled in order
to hide the fact that she was embarrassed beyond words that she had actually
checked him out.

Choji was about to choke
on his breath when he heard Ino ask for a dance. But he nodded and moved out
from the booth they were seated in but as they came up on the dance-floor he
looked like a lost puppy. He didn�t know how to dance. But Ino just smiled
softly and grabbed hold of his hands and suddenly he was holding the little
blonde female very close, the little woman he had been crushing on for so long,
she was in his arms. He turned almost blue in the face � but hey, he was happy.

~*~*~*~*~

Iruka was at lost. He had
a heavily wounded Anko lying on his sofa. He had called for the Hokage to come,
only to receive a message that she was out for the evening. The scarred
Chuunin-teacher had no idea how to locate his leader at this moment. He called
for Shikamaru, the jounin that seemed to have their leader�s attention.

~*~*~*~*~
