Sora walked threw the unfamiliar town looking for what was suppose to be an easy to find building, but after walking around for a half an hour she was starting to doubt that piece of information. She rounded another corner leading her to Kami knows where when finally a very large round building came into view baring the Sunakager symbol. Breathing a heavy sigh of releif she walked tword the building and the large sand colored, omoness doors.

" Well here goe's nothing" she said as she opened the door a rush of cool are graced her tanned face, a welcome thing compared to the scortching heat outside.

" Are you Sora" said a young blonde women from behind her desk.

" Ummmm, yes" sora answered walking towrd the woman, who couldn't have been much older then herself.

" Kazecage sama is expecting you, you can go on up" she said looking sora over, as if sizing her up.

" Thanx" said Sora as she walked over to the stairs, still feeling the womans stair on her back.

" My gods would it kill them to put in an elevator" though sora as she finally reached the top of what seemed to be an endless amount of stairs.

After taking a minute to catch her breath she knocked on the hard wood door shortly after she herd a grunt from the other side and took it as a please enter, and opened the door. When she came threw, she saw a agrivated looking red head surrounded by mountians of paper work.

" So your sora?" said the Kazacage looking up at her with his sea foam green eyes.

" Yes Kazacage sama " she said looking over the newly apointed leader of the sand villiage, the man that sat in front of her looked nothing like the beast her elders had told her of, though they did tend to lie, he looked just like any other 17 year old would look under the presser of running a country, but in his eyes she thought she saw a great pain but didn't get a chance to look further.

"Hmm..." THe Kazacage said looking back down at a long piece of paper

" Take a seat my brother will be here in a few minutes to show you around" he added

" Hai" she said turning and walking tord a couch in the corner.

The Kazacage retured to the mountainous amount of paper covering his desk, and Sora looked around. It was what she expected the kages office to be, bookcases lining the wall, forest's worth of pappers, a few chairs,a desk littered with pen's and a very abused looking stress ball.

A few minutes later, sora had slipped into a daze, the doors slammed open nearly tearing them off there hingese, as a boy clad in a black jump suit and a cat eared hat came running in.

" Your late kankuro" the Kazecage said bluntly not looking up at the cat man.

" Sorry," he said quickly " so is she here yet, is she hott ??"

" He hem" coughed Sora , the boy quickly turned around nearly wrenching his neck in the process.

" Yes I'm here,but i'm not sure about the hot part though." she said

" OH, heh sorry about that" said the boy looking her over.

" Sorry" thought Kankuro why did i say that, i'm not this girl is hott.

" Sora" said the girl bowing her head slightly, her arms crossed in front of her chest.

" Kankuro" he said doing the same.

" Well Kankuro now that you've made an ass of yourself, why don't you show sora around" said The Kazacages looking down, once again at his paper work.

" Ok, come on" said Kankuro as he grabbed Sora's hand and dragged her out the door and down the stairs, then back out in to the dry suna heat.

" So" he said as they walked out the large wooden doors" what do you want to see first"

" Whats with the face paint and cat ears" asked sora flicking one of the ears on his hat laughing

" Whats with the long red hair, and the rings around your eyes?" retorted kankuro becoming defensive for a moment , looking sora over her long red hair was put in to two long ponytails wrapped up in long pieces of cloth and hung flat against her back, and the shorter layers she had in two pigtails on top of her head( like temarie), she wore her head band on her forehead, and fish net long sleeve shirt with a baggy red one over it, black shorts and what was left visable of her legs bound in white bandages.

" i like long hair, and i don't sleep much but i'm open to change do you have any sugestions? she asked raising an eyebrow, looking over at him a smile slowly making it on to her face" Wait i have an idea, i'll change your outfit and you can change mine if you really don't like it that much" she said looking at him as if weighing her oppstions" Come on it'll be fun" she said

" Umm..." kankuro started putting his hands up defensivly, but it was too late sora had already grabbed his hand and was dragging him into the nearest clothing store

" sit " she comanded pushing him in a car next to the check out counter " watch him and make sure he dosen't leave" she told the guy sitting at the register the she quickly turned around and vanished between the racks of clothing.

A few minutes later Sora returned with a small pile of clothing " come on" she said with a huge smile which kankuro couldn't help but return, as she grabbed his hand and dragged him back to the dressing rooms.

" Here " she said handing him the small pile, and in the same movement she took his hat and shoved him through the open door and slammed it shut.

" While your in there ditch the war paint" she added as she put his hat on, though it really just kinda sat on top of her pig-tails.

5 minutes later

"Are you done yet" Sora asked rapping on the door with her nails.

" Almost, jeeze woman calm down" said Kankuro while he pulled the shirt over his head after quickly looking himself over before he opened the door to find Sora wearing his hat sitting on a chair leaning against the opposite wall, he couldn't help but notice that she looked pretty cute....

" Wow" thougth Sora as she looked him over, " with out the face paint and the ears kankuro was ...well cute." all she could do was stair at him, she'd done good, ( she gave him a fish net undershirt and a black 3/4 length black shirt that didn't completly cover his stomach it stopped a few inches from the top of his pants( like sai) , it showed of his abs quiet nicely she noticed, (and had a neck like kakashies with out the face mask), the pants where black cargo shorts that stopped half way down his shin and his same black sandals.

"Hello" said Kankuro waving his hand in front of her face, she'd been staring at him for at least the last 2 minutes , not that he minded.

" Oh" said Sora snapping out of her daze " I'm good arn't I " she said looking him over once more smirk appearing on her face.

' Your all right." he siad the beginng of a smirk apperaring on his face.

" My turn now right? " said Kankuro smiling evily

" i suppose" said Sora her voice shaking a little, she didn't know him well yet but from the look he had on his face she knew she might be in some real trouble.

" good." he said a sinister smirk appering on his face.

Kankuro walked into the sea of racks and after a few minutes came back with his own, but slightly smaller, pile of clothing and handed it to Sora, shoved her into a dressing room and took back his hat all in the same movement.

a few minutes later

" Are you kidding" Yelled Sora from behind the door

" Nope" said Kankuro simply the smile could clearly be herd in his voice.

An almost inhuman growl was heard from the dressing room.

" Whatever" said kankuro

Finally after a few minutes of silence Sora came out of the dressing room.

" Not bad" said Sora looking herself over in the full length mirro next to the door.

Kankuro couldn't help but stair alittle. " way the hell was she hidding all that under those baggy clothes" he thought to himself. He'd put her in a black fish net tank-top with a red tube top with black border and the suna symbol in the middle, that tied in the back to go over it, for " pants" there was a belt with two pieces of long faberic attached to the back and the front creating a kind of skirt only the sides were completly cut out all the way to the top( so it only covered the front and her butt basically all the way down to her ankles) apparently she hadn't apperciated the lack of shorts and had kept some of her badages on, about to mid thigh, and taken the rest and wrapped around what would have been her exposed stomach.

But what Kankuro couldn't understand was why she'd coverd up that body. SHe had curves that most women would kill for and being a ninja had done this girl real good she had the right amount of mucle to where you wouldn't mess with her but she didn't look like she'd be able to kill you with her pinky, though he was sure that she could.

" So what do you think" asked Sora turning around to face him, just as she did he corrected himself.

" I'm good what can i say" he said leaning against the nearest wall crossing his arms and smirking.

" your ok" said Sora turning around to look once again at the new her, " but i guess i'll keep it"

" Just as you should " He said looking her over from the back" Hey, whats the tattoo for" he asked noticing the black ink that adorned the top right of her back.

" OOh, umm it's villiage thing" She said placing her right hand over her right sholder turning around quickly.

" It looks like a seal, i think i've seen something like that somewhere before." he said raising and eyebrow at her weird behavior.

" I'm sure you have." she mumbled

" What??" asked Kankuro he hadn't herd he

" Nothing, so are you gonna keep your new outfit or what" She asked changing the subject.

" i guess i will" said kankuro answering her question

They both got there old stuff, and headed tword the register paid and then walked back out into the Suna heat.

" So what do you want to do now" He Asked Sora looking down at her. ( she's about 5'8 and he's like 6'3)

" I'm hungry, whats there to eat around here?" she asked looking around.

" Come on i know the most amazing raman place here" he said" you like raman right" He said looking down at her

"never had it before, what is it?" she said looking over at him smiling.

" You've never had raman before? Really??!?" said Kankuro a shocked look filtering over his face.

" No...." she said her face tinting a slight pink color

" geeze did you like live under a rock or something before you got here.??" asked Kankuro

" You could say that. " said Sora more to herself the to him

" Well then we are definatly getting you some." he said walking forward.

" So where are you from, i mean from your head band you must be from some where around here, but i've never seen you before." he said

" yeah i'm from a border village, and you probley wouldn't have seen me around there much anyway." she said sounding kind of angered

" So why are you here" asked Kankuro hoping to get her in a better mood

" Don't you know?" she said looking over at him as if he should have. " i'm here to learn from you, they think your puppet jutsu could be useful and your the only one that they know of who uses it.'

" who's they?" asked kankuro

" The elders of my villiage." said sora, anger once again seeping into her words

" O your the student" He said looking a little shocked at the thought.

" Yeah, who did you think i was?" she asked.

" Someone in need of being shown around" said Kankuro scratching the back of his head in a very naruto sort of manner laughing a bit at his own stupidity.

" So what were you expecting your student to look like, if i'm not it" she said looking over at him.

" Well i was just expecting someone a little... younger and a boy" he said, honastly he had been expecting some one around the age of ten who would have driven him insain in just a few hours, not a hot girl his age...wow this is way better he though.

" Well i hope i'm not a disapointment " she said looking over at him a glint of anger in her eye.

" OH no i'm glad to have you... I mean teach you" he said looking over at her.

" Good, i wouldn't want you to be unhappy with me" she said looking over a him a smile playing n her lips.

" I dont think that will be a problem" he said smiling at her, ( wait was she accutally flirting back)though Kankuro , he couldn't tell he's never had this happen before if in fact she was a first, usaually girls shot him down in the first few seconds, " wait his brain yelled you don't even know this girl for all you know this is how she always acts!!" damn though kankuro he hadn't though of that. Before he could think anymore into in Sora said something grabbing back his attention.

" So how much..." but she was stopped mid sentence when someone grabbed her around the waist and forced her to sit in there lap.

" Hey what the hell do you..." but then all her thoughts driffted away she was surrounded by a light purple haze and in the middle of this haze had to be on of the hottest boys she'd ever see. She as turning to mush in this guys arms. " whats happening to me??" she distantly though. " who cares..."

" Let go of her Ryu " She quietly herd someone growl.

" why" said the heavenly voice of the boy holding her" i think she enjoys me holding her like this" his grip tightening on her waist, as drunken smile playing on her lips. " Right babe." he asked

" Sure, love it..." she said staring at him.

" well turn off the genjutzu and we'll she what she thinks of you then" said the voice she hazaly identified as Kankuro, but she didn't care she need this boy she though as she laced her arms around his neck, he was the best thing that could happen to her she decided.

" Why would i do that when it has such a great effect of people" he said pulling her face tword his.

Finally Kankuro grabbed Sora and in her dazed state threw her over his right sholder.

" Hey" said the boy she assumed to be Ryu, she could see his face better and he was starting to lose his appeal as the purple cloud started to dissapear.

" You do that to her again and i swear to Kami i will make you regret it." said Kankuro

"Yeah right" Said Ryu " you'll just go running to that desgusting monster you call a brother to deal with the big bad Ryu" he said snickering and laughing with his friends. " i don't know what those old crazy gezzerz where thinking making him Kazecage.

"He is NOT A MONSTER, and I won't need Gaara to take care of you, it would be just to easy to get rid of you myself" he said lifting Ryu up by his collar, then threw him back down on his chair and walked away a still dazed Sora over his sholder.

After getting a safe distance away, kankuro set Sora down and a bench and let her come to while not hanging up-side down. "why'd i have to put her in that stupid outfit" she asked himself, mentally beating himself up while looking worrialy over at her while she came around.

" what happen." asked Sora slowly getting her barrings back.

" Ryu, The guy would grabbed you, he has a ability to control people by breathing a special purple smoke in your face, it comes from his blood line limit." said Kankuro angerly.

" That jerk i'll kick his .....!!" she said standing up to fast, blood rushed to her head causing her to quickly sit back down.

" YOu still wanna go eat the ramen place isn't to much farther from here" said Kankuro

" Yeah lets go! " said Sora standing up slower this time, but her old intensity back.
