I do not own Naruto!

Please review this is a chapter fanfic.

"Gaara kun!" A high pitched voice rang though the air and flung towards a flinching red head, who turned to see Naruto runnig towards him, his arms wide open! "Long time no seeeeee!" The blonde screamed.

Gaara turned as if in slow motion to run from his over excited friend but to no avail, the blonde caught his friend in a huge bear hug!

"N-Naruto!" Gaara managed to squeeze through his clenched teeth as he was continued to be crushed.

"Hn... Yeah?"

"YOU WILL NEVER BECOME HOKAGE IF YOU CONTINUE TO ACT THIS CHILDISH!" Came the bellow from above blowing the now watery eyed Blonde into the dust, and the redhead sit down with a satisfied look on his face.

"Yo, you two causing a scene again?" Came a bored voice. "How troublesome."

Naruto looked up expectantly to see Shikamaru and Kiba sitting in the tree above him. "Oh Hey guys!"

The two smirked in amusement, Naruto always seemed to act like an idiot, and why shouldn't he? He didn't have a family in which he had responsibilities to put to work, he didn't have parents to visit and alot of people in Kohona still resented him.

"He's 19 and you'd think he'd have grown up a little?" Gaara questioned grumpily, but still jealousy for the same attitude bubbled up.

"Yeah Gaara, I absolutely agree, you should get married.. you're an old man!" Naruto laughed at the 20 year old, only to have his mouth clamped shut with a rough punch.

"Don't say that out loud, with all those fangirls around they'd be flogging me any second if they heard I was considering it! AND DON'T CALL ME OLD!" Gaara choked in annoyance.

While Naruto lay there on the brink of tears from the punch he'd just received, a shadow appeared over him. Srunching up his eyes he saw the laughing face for his friend Sasuke!

"Wassup dobe? Did Gaara teach you a lesson again today?" He smirked.

Naruto didn't even reply he was to embarrassed for Sasuke to see him like that.

"Boy I miss the girls, they've been gone for6 years...when was their mission supposed to be done?" Shikamaru surprisingly stated. "How troublesome." He finished with a 'Humph'

"I guess they'll come back whenever they master the justu of age."Gaara muttered looking down the road where he and his friends met everyday for the past year and a half waiting for them... waiting for her... 'Shikamaru's right, this is too troublesome.' He thought, his head swimming with thoughts of her, his heart beating every second just to see her again.

"They've been gone just during the time girls get their growth spurts and change into womanhood and we don't get to see em!" Naruto pouted. "And they will probually look dirrerent to beacause they can now master the age limits! Awe, no fair... why did Hokage have to take em away?"

"Shut up dobe!" Sasuke replied, he and Naruto had a good friendship and their insulting just made it better for some strange reason.

Kiba couldn't help but smile, although he did have a hard time understanding the two he knew that the friend between them all was infallible, never to be broken, you mess with one, you mess with them all. "Come home soon." Was all he could mutter to the sky as the rest of their gang joined them with laughs and jabs. They wereNeji, Kakashi, Shino, Kankuro, Chouji, and Lee.

"Do you think today is the day?" Lee asked hopefully. "He had gotten used to the evening get-togethers with his friends.

"I sure hope so." Chouji grumbled, pulling out a bag of chips.

"Yo Chouji, share some of that love will yah?" Naruto laughed as he pulled out a hot bowl of ramen from out of nowhere, and saluted the sky. "To the girls!"

"To the girls!" All of them chimed, cept Gaara and Sasuke, who seemed content on watching the empty dusty road.

"Okay girls! Pick em up and move em out, we are finally going home!" Tsunade waved putting on her pack. It was late at night and the girls were tired from the long day, but she wanted them all home before dawn, it had been a long 6 years of training, she herself had been back to the village occasionally because of her job as Hokage, but she never left the girls for too long.

Pink haired and beautiful Sakura stood up. "Well get a grip you guys, we're going to see our friends again!" She stated cheerily and Tenten laughed.

"Yeah well that should put SOME spring in our step, comeon you guys, we're gonna see the guys!" Tenten shouted, no more did she have those childish buns, nor the girlish form, she was a goddess the epitimy of beauty, along with her friends... Sakura, Hinata, Ino, Temari, and Star.

Hinata smiled her gentle smile, she was still her shy self but had learned to show when she wanted something. "I can't wait to see Naruto." She sighed dreamily, pushing her short purple hair from her eyes.

Star, was a feisty girl, with dark brownishblack hair and peircing brown eyes, she had joined the Konoha Kunoichi before they had left and was a well accepted part of the group... her beauty eqauled to that of a perfect flower and her tanned arms were strong and slender. "I can't wait to see them all, it will be such a..."

"Refreshment." Gaara sighed as they got up to leave, it was late and once again the men were faced with the dissappointment of the non return of thier girlfriends and friends.

"What?" Naruto questioned at the sound.

"Oh I just thought that when we see them that it would be such a refreshment, to know that they are all alive and well." Gaara explained.

Kakashi smiled. "Well Tsunade brongs you guys letters and brings your letters out, at least you have contact." He reasoned.

"Yeah." Gaara sighed. "Contact..." He looked at his hands almost feeling her soft skin and her tears as before the day she left. "Contact." He rolled over his tongue. Oh how we wished to have that again.

Well what do you think.. this is only chappie one! LoL, well please review.. much Love... Esther!
