First and foremost, no matter how much I cry and plead at night, Naruto is not mine or anything about it besides the story line, so there…. *sniffles* But anyway, on with the story! This is my very first so be nice about criticism… Enjoy!

Chapter 1- The Unwanted Mission

Three women, a blond-haired Sand kunoichi, a lavender-haired and a pinked haired kunoichi, both from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, walked the streets of Konoha, arms loaded with shopping bags and mouths wide with laughter at a joke that was told. Today's weather in Konoha was wonderful and sunny, and they intended to make the best out of it. Going inside a well-known café, they picked a table and collapsed into the seats, plopping the bags down beside them.

"Come on, Temari, that is just too funny to be true!"

"Believe it on not, Sakura, it's the truth and nothing but the truth. He really used that dumbass line on me and expected me to actually agree to go out with him. You believe me, right, Hinata?"

Hinata smiled slowly, but nodded. "Of course I believe you, Temari."

"See?!" Temari smirked at Sakura, who was trying desperately to suppress a laugh.

"But," Hinata interjected before Sakura could comment. "I also believe that you dad must be a thief, because he must stole the stars and put them in your eyes!

Temari sighed and rolled her eyes while Hinata and Sakura leaned on each other, erupting into hysteric giggles. The waitress coming to the table stopped Temari from having to make a rude comment to her best friends.

"I apologize if we're too loud. We'll quiet down. They just…" Temari looked at her close-to-tears-from-laughing buddies and then back at the middle-aged woman. "They just can't seem to control themselves at the moment"

The woman smiled and waved her hand, as if shooing the thought away. "Oh no! I enjoy the laughter and smiles. Please, go on. I would like to know if you young ladies will be purchasing anything though."

Hinata and Sakura finally caught their breath by this time and straightened up in their seats. They all decided to enjoy strawberry daiquiris and a bowl of salsa and chips to end their shopping spree day.

"Wow, this is the most fun I've had in ages!" Sakura sighed in content, and Temari nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, we've been getting missions back to back for about a month, and we're just now getting a break!" Hinata added solemnly. "I barely know anything that's going on in the Hyuuga compound."

"SAKURA-CHAN!!!"

All three female heads turned their attention to the window, where they spotted none other than Uzumaki Naruto. Running toward the café door, as fast as his legs could carry him.

"Why do I not have a good feeling about this…?" Sakura moaned, setting the last sip of her daiquiri down on the table as Naruto burst through the door, almost knocking the waitress/owner off her feet.

"We're certainly about to find out," Temari answered as Naruto walked toward the table.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" Naruto questioned, snatching a chip from the bowl and popping it into his mouth.

"Don't start the stalling, Naruto. You do this every time, and now is beginning to get old. Just tell us what's going to ruin our perfect day," Temari said, flipping her hair out of her face.

"Ruin?! No! It shouldn't ruin your day at all. It's great news!" Naruto laughed, flashing his sparkling white teeth in a boyish manner, even though he was now 19.

"Really?" Hinata brightened. "Well then, what's the news?"

"We have an S-ranked mission! All of us!" Naruto declared triumphantly while thrusting a fist in the air, not knowing that was exactly what they didn't want to hear.

"Well, happy feeling is gone… I just knew you had bad news," Sakura sighed, softly kicking one of her shoe bags on the floor.

"Wha-­­­­­­­ wait, this is great. Who doesn't want to go on an adventure every day?!" Naruto said, scratching his head in confusion.

"WE DON'T!" all three females replied at the same time, nearly blowing poor Naruto off his feet.

"Naruto, we just got back from a S-ranked mission yesterday. This is suppose to be our month off. We haven't had a month off in like….months!" Hinata explained to him quickly, feeling sorry for him because all the feminine anger was being directed at him. After all, he is just the messenger. "I'm sorry Naruto, but we don't share the same enthusiasm as you do on every mission. Understand?"

Naruto sat there and thought for a moment. "Well, yeah, I can see where you're coming from… But still, this is a mission from old granny Tsunade herself. I'm sure she wouldn't send you out if it wasn't important. I'm guessing it as something to do with the Sand Village also, because she asked for you too, Temari."

"Damn," Temari swore. All good things really does have to come to an end. "The only thing there is to do is to go see the Hokage herself to see what this is about."

The girls all nodded sadly.

"Let's go and put our purchases away and meet out the Hokage's office in twenty minutes. That sound good to everyone?" Hinata suggested, picking up her bags and standing.

"Let's do it." Sakura said, shaking her head.

"This is going to be a long fucking day," Temari stated, heading to the door.
