NARUTO

"I hate all of you. Really, you all go and make a bet? Oh, and it started 2 days ago."

Sasuke looked at me. "I died because the he-she bitch killed me. Not my fault you were a Dobe."

"Oh shut up Sasuke." I joked.

"Look, we all knew it would happen and thats that. But how are you guys going to tell Sakura?" Kankuro asked.

"And... uh... Ino..." Sasuke added in.

"You got married to Ino?" Zabuza was shocked.

"Yes, I did. I prefered her over Sakura growing up."

I shook my head. "Hey, wait a minute, I only went after Sasuke because of Sakura." I pause, and said the rest under my breath. "And myself..."

"What was that?" Haku asked.

"Nothing, nothing. Nothing at all."

They all looked at me and Sasuke. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I really hope it wasn't Sakura...

[I kinda need Temari to bring back Sayu because she was taken to the Sand by their ANBU, so until Temari is better, Sayu is still out cold.]

{{if you all don't mind, i'll be another character to help things along. Like Shikamaru for example. since the real one doesn't feel like joining us. up to you two, Naruto, Aimi chan.}}

Gaara

I looked around with a bored stare. The room was in shambles, which was surpising considering the few things Temari kept in there. On the floor were crumbled papers, ripped scrolls. Her desk was flipped on it's side against the wall and pictures laid in broken glass. I bent down and picked one up. It was a picture of Temari, Kankoru, and me sitting on the cliff outside of the village. I remembered that was the day Naruto had come to speak with us and forced us to get into a picture. I had almost smiled that day. Almost.

I walked over to her patch worked, flipped chair and saw something underneath it. Pushing it over, i found a small bear, a panda to be exact. My eyes widened for a moment as i saw the same stitching as my old teddy had.

Perhaps it was Temari that had made me that first teddy to being with......

I heard the rush of feet behind me. Naara had bolted for it, leaving down the stairs with the power of wind on her feet. there was no way i'd catch her.

I had an idea where she'd go, so i turned to leave. I noticed wind carvings on the door frame and smirked. At least i know Temari fought back. I walked threw the door frame and gasped, taking a step back in. Lost under a knocked over cabinet was Temari's fan. Where ever she was, she was in trouble.

{{...you know what.....mark's mean....so i don't really care if you do or not -hell it might get him to join us- but i'll let Naruto decide. After all, she's Naruto and its HER show.}}

Haku

I rolled my eyes and flicked my wrist, needles showing up between my blue painted nails.

"hey...i didn't kill you.....i was just poking you with needles......it was your choice how it ended." I looked over at Sasuke. I remembered the fight well. I missed my glass realm, the beautiful colors of crystel shinning when the sun hit them, the snow flake patterns on the ice. It was amazing. a beautiful, peaceful world.

"...I don't want Haku fighting, Naruto." i turned to Zabuza, startled. I blinked a few times, my long lashes colliding with my long hair.

"Why not? His power is needed!" Zabuza, with his mask and sword, growled like the demon he is.

"Because.....he was never meant for fighting........he should be able to live life without it now that he can live again."

"...Yes but-"

"I want to fight." i interupted. This was getting annoying if they were going to forget me. I looked from Zabuza to Naruto and back. "I am alive.........i want to prove i can live for a reason, for protecting you again, Zabuza."

He looked at me with a frown in his eyes. In the after life we didn't end up together...at first. eventually we did though. It was magical, so much differnt than before that it was scary and strange at first. Then i embrassed it and i think he did too.

I could tell he was going to say something but just then the door swung open and two figures appeared, one frantic, the other staying in the hall. I couldn't really see who they were.

"Hokage, sir!"

"What?"

"Temari of the Sand has just been reported kiddnapped! Kazekage wants to know if you have any information!" the man named Kankoru jumped forward.

"what! what happened to my sister!"

Naara

{{Naru, i have an idea about Sayu that might work without Temari. if you want to go with it after this post.}}

I ran. I couldn't stand it. That woman had been nice to me and now she was gone. was it my fault? or not? if it wasn't, why did it happen....who would do it? So many things ran through my head. I bolted. I rand down the stairs and out the door. I ran threw the village and out the main gates. I just didn't' want to do it any more. There i saw a shady figure sneaking into the village with a girl slung over his shoulder.

I stopped. I looked at him and then the girl and knew something was up. cursing myself for caring, i went after him. he went to the dark allies of the village and i could have laughed. I slipped into the shadows with ease, being back home in my element of choice. He eventually stopped to shift her wait and i jumped out. I surprised him and he took a Kunai. I smirked as a shadow curled around his leg, bringing him into the world of darkness slowly.

[shikamaru can greatly be accepted and what are your plans with Sayu?]

NARUTO

Sasuke was furious. Flames in his eyes. The demon within him was angry.

"Sasuke, calm down." I said, holding him back from Haku. He was furious.

"NARUTO, LET ME AT HIM!!" Sasuke hissed. Great, another Orochimaru to deal with. Guess the only thing I could do was kiss him.... in front of everyone... So I leaned in and softly kissed his lips. He was relaxed now. He pulled me close but I pulled away.

"No farther then a kiss. There are other people here you know."

"I know. What's a little yaoi gonna do? Other then scar their minds for life?"

Kankuro had wide eyes and pulled out a video camera.

"DO IT! DO IT RIGHT NOW!"

We all looked at him.

"Boy, What the hall is wrong with you?" Zabuza asked.

{{{Naara is going to beat up the anbu then Sayu wakes up and tells her what happened. Then Naara will do something -probably annoy Gaara- until Sayu's taken home. and i guess your Shikamaru, Gaara!}}

Haku

I laughed at the camera in Kankoru's hand. I watched him and it didn't take long for his arms to fall to his side slowly and his body to grow limp until he collapsed onto the chair behind him. From the wide smile on his lips to a long frown, he seemed depressed.

"...Naruto....what happened to my sister....she'll be ok...right?" i frowned. I knew it wasn't easy losing family. I hoped he wouldn't lose his.


Naara

Pale hands beat up at me from the shadows below. To him, he was drowning, to me he was just a moving painting of chalk. The girl was asleep against the wall where the shadow's didnt' touch...yet. I looked at her.

Darkness was one of my favored elements to be. Favored to the point i loose control at times. It was taking a lot for me not to take her into the realm of darkness too.

I guess i'll have to let him up eventually. Hopefully he'll have learned his lession.

Shikamaru

I around my empty room. It's so boring and i can't stand it. I got up and pushed the screen door to my mother's garden. the deer were sleeping and the dew that should wait for morning was already appearing on the grass and flowers. i looked up at the moon. It was late. Everyone would be asleep by now.

A light breeze blew against my face and i had no choice but to think about her. Temari, her loud mouth and pushie ways, her beauty and strength. All of her was amazing to me.

I couldn't take it any longer. I had to see her again, i missed her the moment she left my arms last time she was here. I took paper and wrote down to my family and in the end naruto that i would be gone to Suna until further notice.

I packed my bags, left the note, and headed toward Suna.

I couldn't wait to see Temari.

NARUTO


I had to lie to Kankuro. "Um, yeah. She's going to be back soon. Don't worry about her." I said.

"Yeah, and even if she isn't back within a few days, I'll send ANBU after her, and I'll go as well." Sasuke said.

"Thanks Sasuke." Kankuro said, then pulled up his camera again. "Now seriously, I wanna see some yaoi happen up in here so start humping."

I looked at him with narrow eyes. Sasuke had a big grin on his face.

"No Sasuke." I said, backing away slowly. He walked closer to me and Zabuza had a look of confusion and disgust on his face.

"Alright, does anyone wanna tell me what's going on because I'm honestly really damn confused and I just came back from the dead and I don't understand why Naruto and Sasuke are together when they were rivals growing up?" Zabuza asked.

"I find him attractive and hot." Sasuke said attacking me with a flying hug. I caught him. "Please Naruto? Please?" Sasuke did a pouty lip.

"Do it... do it..." Kankuro pleaded.

I didn't know what to do. So I thought for a minute.

--------

SAYU

I awoke. There was a girl standing by me. Jeraado was standing next to her. He kneeled down and gave me a hug. It was shocking really. Jeraado never showed affecting to anyone but himself... and his hair. He loved his hair.
"Sayu, thank god you're alright." He said, helping me up.

"Yeah," I was really at a loss for words. "I'm glad you're ok too. Now where Iirai?"

She wrote on the wall next the her,"Your friend Iirai remains unharmed. He is home. Safely. The ANBU that captured both of you was unable to reach him." I had no idea who she was and she was starting to freak me out a bit.

"Excuse me, if you dont mind me asking, but who are you?" I asked to her.

She wrote on the wall next to her again. That her name was Naara. I saved your boyfriend and now I have just saved you. You are welcome.

"WHOA WHOA WHOA! Back up. He isn't my boyfriend. He isn't even my friend. He is just a teammate."

In reality, I did like Jeraado. I liked him a lot. I just couldn't admit that.

Haku

I looked around at Naruto and the others and shook my head, letting my long hair sway to a frow as if a wind had come and moved me. Zabuza seemed more confused than si so i grabbed his should and pulled him down onto the couch behind them.

"what their playing is something we don't need to conserne " i wishpered to him. he looked at me and whispered back.

"Is this goign to be interesting or should i just leave. "i shrugged.

looked like traveling was ok under Naruto's

Naara

I looked at the girl and boy, my eyes drooping from the heavy air on my shoulder. I ran my hand over the words on the wall and watched them change to normal. I wanted to know what has happening. And now that one women is gone as well.

SOmething is happening here. Something that needs to be taken care up. I need information so i can travel and find what's going on. Gaara hasn't come looking. I would have felt him in the sand under my feet. He must either not care or know where she is. i hope he knows....

Shikamaru

I had been running around all day. Man my neck hurt. i kept looking up at the sky and the clouds like always. I kept feeling the wind on my face, on my neck, blowing into me and i would look around, swearing Temari was playing games with me. I would shake my head each time, muddering how much of a troublesome woman she was.

It was late, the sun was slowly creeping down the sky and was at a 45 degree angle from noon so it had to be between 5-7 this time of year. Finally i saw the enterence to Suna. I started to run faster over the sand toward it. My food slipped and i sunk through a sand dune and was dragged underground. sighing, i dug my way out, covering myself in sand. The last time that happened Temari had fallen over in a laughing fit. I could hear her laugh now, ringing in my ears. I smiled and hurried, but more carefully this time.

When i got to the enterence and showed proof of my name and pass for travel, the two grauds extchanged looks when i said i was here to see Temari.

"Uh...now might not be the best time, Shikamaru."

"Why." after being around Temari so much i had stopped asking questions when i was starting to get annoyed. I just made very harsh statements.

"Becau-"
"Just send him to the Kazekage." the man nodded to the other.

"Please head to Master Kazekage's office." I narrowed my eyes and them and started for Gaara's office. Something was up, how troublesome. -sigh-

Gaara

I spent some time rummaging around. Eventually I got her fan out from the rubble and headed for my office. I didn't know where Naara was, and right now i didn't care. She's powerful, she can take care of herself. Temari was missing and without her weapon. This wasn't good.

When i got back to my office i put the fan on the desk and looked outside. It was late. I must have spent more time looking around than i thought. As soon as Naara had left i called for a shinobi. Hopefully he had already gotten to Naruto and i would be getting news back shortly. I still hadn't heard back from Kankoru with that scroll telling Naruto about Naara but i didn't care about that so long as he was with them in Konoha.

Beating my fist on the frail desk, a picture frame shuddered. I looked over. It was face down before i hit the desk so it was only shifted over a bit. I picked it up and set it down, standing. It was a picture Temari had left in here a few days ago. It was of me, her, and Kankoro one night on the cliff.

(( looks like this ---> ))

A knock came to my door and i flipped the picture down again. I waited and the door opened slowly. Shikamaru Nara walked in and i almost sneered. I didn't like the feelings he had for Temari. Even more so i didn't like how she had reduced herself to liking him. Oh well. Anything was better than her liking the Uchia i supposed.

"Gaara, where is Temari." I looked up and felt myself frown a bit. This was going to be a long night.

[i has ideas x.x]

Tobi

Tobi walked into his room and saw a bump in his becovers. I was all happy and dancy so i didn't care but when it moved i was like WOH! i picked up a kunai and poked it and it jumped!

Pulling the covers back it was a lady all tied up.

"hello miss tema-tema!" i sat next to her and clapped my hands. her eyes were closed and hadn't opened since she got here. "Tobi is a good boy!"

[x.x akumu your evil XD]

Temari

I heard some annoying voice and opened my eyes. i had a major head ache and i couldn't feel my legs or arms. i felt bruises and cut across my body though and they didn't feel nice at all. i looked around and saw tobi over me.

things started to rush back to me. the damned cloud idiots showing up and attacking me. then the last thing i see is tobi's mask and then nothing. not a thing. now i need to find out where they hell i am before he notices i'm awake....

Haku

I was laughing myself to a coma in my head. i couldn't look at anyone, i just shook with laughter.

if naruto and sasuke really did it i was going to die. zabuza wouldn't know what to do and i would be to embarrassed to tell him.

what really shocked me was kankoru. he might have lost his sister but thsi is what he asks for? strange...

NARUTO

Kankuro was still by far the biggest perv in this whole room. Haku was about to die.... again... only this time from laughter. I looked at Sasuke.

"Come on Naru! Pllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaassssssseeeeeeeee?"

Oh my god he was begging.....

"Sasuke.... don't.... don't beg....." I grabbed his hand. And before I even had the chance to speak or say anymore, he pulled me close and did things I shall NOT tell you about. You're smart people, figure it out.... =^^=


SAYU

Honest to God I cannot believe that Naara thought Jeraado was my boyfriend. I personally thought he was gay myself.... but hey that was just me. The whole way back home, she never spoke. She just escorted us to our village and homes. I wanted her to speak, but I really don't think she would. I looked at Jeraado. He had his hands in his pants pocket and was looking forward. Not making eye contact with anyone. Why is it that every time something happened, he acted as if it was nothing and we're fine. We were NOT fine. He had cuts and bruises on his arms and my legs and arms were cut up badly. Personally I didn't know what to do anymore.

"Jeraado..." I said softly.

He looked at me raising an eyebrow.

"What is it Sayu?"

"What do you really think of me?"

He looked away and the rest of the way home he remained silent. I wasn't sure what to do now....

Shikamaru

I fell into one of his chairs, my eyes wide and my hands on the side of my face. Gaara told me about her office and her fan being left behind. now there was nothing to tell where she was or how she was for that matter. no blood was really found but the place was in shreads.

That didn't help me.

I should have been around to help her. I closed my eyes tight and tried to think.

Gaara

Be it that i hate him or not, at least he cared for Temari. I stood and looked out my window. I knew there was nothing i could do for Temari but find her, but I don't know what i could do about that.

Staring out at the village, looking at the seting sun, my mind jumped to Naara. i closed my eyes and tried to push her from my thoughts but she just came back more vibrant. sighing i looked around below at the village, my eys searching for her multi-colored hair. i saw nothing. i looked at the cliff we had been at this morning and sighed.

Where had she gotten too...

Hinata

I ran out of my house, leaving Kiba sleeping on the floor near the hord of pups that were born yesterday. they were really cute and cudly and i hated to leave but i had to get some medic for them. One was born to soon and one to late and they weren't doing to good.

I head out to the hospital to see Sakura-chan. I guess i could ask how Naruto-kun is doing...after all even if he doesn't love me i still love him....

oh what to do. at least now i'm happily in mutural love with Kiba~
