Another one of my (Kiara) side stories. have fun reading! please review!

Disclaimer: me no own Naru or his friends. Only Kiara.


"Oi Kaze-sama." A young woman with waist length reddish brown hair says as she swings her feet. She has her blue-green eyes trained up in the sky, not bothering to look at her best friend and one of her two partners.

"What is it, Kia?" Kaze asks, licking her Popsicle. Kaze has her calf length brown hair tied up in a high ponytail to keep it out of her face. She soon turns her green eyes onto her best friend.

Both girls are jounin ranked medical Anbu Black Ops for the Village Hidden in the Leaves or Konoha. The girls have been best friend most of their 19 years of life and both witness their clans' demise when they were only four years old. Kaze is taller than Kiara at 5'6" while Kiara is only 5'2", making Kiara a tad jealous. But Kiara has a d-cup sized bust that tends to cause her more troubles than good.

Kaze and Kiara are wearing their favorite outfits. Kaze's is black jeans, which were long enough to cover her long legs completely, and Kiara wondered where she'd gotten them made. Kaze also had on a black jean jacket with belts and pockets randomly placed across it and, at the moment, it was completely unbuttoned, showing a belt hanging loosely from the right side of her waist to past her left hip and a simply black tank top. Kaze is also wearing her favorite black boots with belts, buckles, and zippers, and her wrist and ankle bands. Kiara on the other hand is wearing a white short-sleeved button polo with a black tie, tied loosely under the collar; a black halter top vest and a black pleated mini skirt with simple black sandals. On her hands are black fingerless gloves that most of the shinobi wear.

There is a third member in their team of three. His name is Sai and he used to be part of the Root division of the Black Ops but he quit because he wanted to learn more about bonds.

Both Kaze and Kiara recently got back from a mission and are celebrating with a couple of Popsicles on the roof of their house. Sai was with them but they shooed him away.

"Well… I was curious what kind of guys you like and who you would go out with." Kiara asks, gently licking her own Popsicle.

"Heh. I see. Hmm… the ones that are cute would hafta be Kakashi-sensei, Shika-san, Shino-kun, Neji-sama and Sausy-chan. I'd be willing to date them too. Not cute… Lee, Naruto… that's about it." Kaze says shrugging. "What bout you?"

"….Kakashi-sensei? Really?" Kiara asks raising an eyebrow.

Kaze blushes and gives Kiara a dirty look. "What? You know you like him too! In fact if I didn't know you any better you would go out with Ruka-sensei too!" Kaze fusses.

Kiara blushes and looks away, defeated by her friend's remarks. "Y-Yeah… you're right."

"HA! Now answer the question." Kaze says looking forward with a victorious look on her face.

"Hmmm… let's see… cute and dateable would be: Kiba-kun, Ruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke-kun… though he's more a brother…Maybe even Naruto. Not dateable: Lee, Shino-kun scares me, Neji-san too, Shikamaru-san…. I think that's it." Kiara says.

"Sausy-chan… you too?" Kaze whispers, her face becoming sad as she looks down at her lap. Kaze sighs, depressed that their childhood friend is so popular with the girls.

"Gomen, Kaze-sama… He's dateable but I wouldn't do that to you." Kiara says softly, trying to comfort her best friend. "Besides you would be the best choice since Ino-san is too conceited and Sakura-chan is well…. Wimpy…."

Kaze begins to laugh then nods. "Though, compared to you I'm far behind."

"Whaaat?" Kiara screeches turning bright red. "It's because of my boobs isn't it?"

"Well, yeah. I mean seriously the only ones bigger in the village is Anko-sensei's and Tsunade-sama's!"

"You know how much of a pain these are! Yeesh Kaze-sama, you don't want them this big believe me!" Kiara groans.

"Yea I would… maybe it would be easier to claim Sausy as my own." Kaze mumbles mostly to her self.

Kiara groans again then glances down at her now empty Popsicle stick to realize that while she was fussing at Kaze her Popsicle had melted so much that it slide off the stick and fell to the ground below.

"Ah! My Pop-chan!" Kiara exclaims. Kaze stops, the tip of her Popsicle still in her mouth and looks at Kiara, blinking in confusion. Kiara looks at Kaze and points to the empty stick, her face sad. "It's gone!"

Kaze snorts then begins to laugh. Kiara looks at Kaze and frowns then lifts her empty stick and sniffles making Kaze laugh even harder.

"Oooh Kia… you sure know how to make me laugh!" Kaze chuckles. "Pop-chan? Really?"

"Yeah! Otherwise he would feel lonely." Kiara says, pouting at Kaze.

"Kia, it's a POPSICLE! It doesn't have feelings! Besides you would have eaten it anyway!" Kaze continues to laugh.

"Hmph." Kiara grumps and looks away. She looks down and sees the object of the girls' latest conversation walking up with two other people. "Ah! Sasuke-kun, Naruto and Sakura-chan!"

Sasuke has longish raven colored hair with black eyes. He's the tallest of the three, even taller than Kaze at 5'10. Sakura has pink hair that's cut to her chin and green eyes; she's about 5'4". Naruto is the odd one out. He has blonde spiky hair, blue eyes and three whisker like marks on each cheek. He's the same height as Kaze at 5'6".

"Hm?" Kaze says, raising her eyebrows questioningly. Then she looks down and also sees the trio right as they look up.

Naruto and Sakura break into wide smiles then lift their hands up high in a wave. Sasuke just smiles and only lifts his hand up halfway in a small gesture. Kiara and Kaze return the smiles and wave then hop down from the roof to stand in front of them.

"Ohayo, Kiara-chan, Kaze-san." Sakura says warmly.

"Ohayo guys. What can we do for you?" Kaze asks.

"We were about to head for lunch and were curious if you wanted to come along." Naruto says eyeing Kiara.

Kiara spots what Naruto's doing, blushes then punches the back of his head sending him face first into the dirt. Sakura and Sasuke wince while Kaze chuckles, having seen this coming. Naruto gets to his feet with one hand on the back of his head and the other holding his bleeding nose, he has a dark look on his face.

"What the heck was that for?" Naruto yells angrily.

Kiara wraps her arms around her bust and blushes but her face is still angry. "You know full well you pervert!"

"Oh c'mon!" Naruto says urgently.

Kiara shakes her head then walks away. "If we're going to lunch we better leave now!"

Kaze walks after Kiara closely followed by Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke. Eventually, Sasuke, Sakura and Kaze wind up walking in front of Naruto and Kiara. Sasuke is in the middle with Sakura hanging on his left arm (much to everyone else's disgust) while Kaze is walking to his right. Kiara sees her chance to hook Kaze and Sasuke together. With a practically silent snicker, she digs the tip of her toes into the ground creating a small crack. The crack travels to where Kaze's feet are, tripping her and sending her into Sasuke, knocking all three of them down. Sakura is instantly on her feet, her face matching the red color of Kaze and Sasuke.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry, Sausy-chan I don't know what happened!" Kaze says trying to get on her feet only to slip and fall on top of him once again.

Sasuke nods then eventually gets the both of them onto their feet. "I-It's fine."

Meanwhile both Kiara and Naruto are roaring with hysterical laughter. Sakura, Sasuke and Kaze look at them and give them dark looks before Kaze and Sakura hit them both on the back of the head.

"OW!" Naruto and Kiara yell, holding their head in with both hands.

"That's what you get for laughing." Kaze growls, still a little red.

"S-Sorry, Kaze-sama…" Kiara mumbles while in the back of her mind she's thinking, Hahaha I did it!

The five teenage Shinobi walk up to their favorite eating place, Ichiraku Ramen. They walk in and eat lunch with a few practical jokes in between. Naruto picks on both Kiara and Sakura and winds up covered in ramen because of it. He whines and complains about it while picking noodles from his clothes and hair.

"C'mon seriously… you didn't need to dump ramen on me just for poking you…" Naruto grumbles.

Kiara's blushing and has her arms wrapped protectively around her waist. "yeah well, you should know better than to poke me!"

"He isn't a fast learner." Sasuke says with a smirk on his face.

"Oh shut up." Naruto grumps.

"Serves you right." Kaze chuckles.

Kiara smiles, proud of her self, then she suddenly stiffens and looks behind her. Huh? No way! She thinks then jumps up and quickly yells, "I gotta go! Meet you at the house, Kaze-sama!" before running out the door.

Naruto and Sakura blink, utterly confused as to what just happened. Sasuke is also confused but is hiding it better than his two teammates. Kaze, however, thinks she has a fairly good idea as to why Kiara ran off so suddenly.

I'll pry tonight, just to make sure. Kaze thinks as she takes a drink from her glass.
