Summary: Gaara's priority was his twin sister's safety. Her being a diplomat to Konoha was his worst choice yet. Especially when she ends up betrothed to an Uchiha and having an affair with the Yondaime.

Pairing: Sasuke/Itachi/Kagome/Minato

Cookies and Porn

Konoha was very wet, Kagome mused as she watched sheets of rain pelt the windows. The Yondaime had yet to look up at her, or so much as acknowledge her presence.

Namikazi Minato was seriously enraptured with a certain piece of literature. As it must have been heavy with political intrigue or diplomatic discourse.

Then, the Yondaime giggled.

"Ahem," Kagome cleared her throat.

"Eh!" Minato startled, with steely blue eyes locked on the small teenager. "Who are you? How'd you get in here?"

Kagome's heart went to her throat. She was a bit nervous as it was. "Ano…"

"Shizune! Shizune!" Minato was yelling. "THERE'S SOME WEIRD GIRL IN HERE!"

Weird? Kagome's eyes narrowed.

The Chuunin busted in through the door. "Hokage-sama, she's on the agenda…" Shizune gritted out. "For the last time… Check your schedule."

A masked ANBU with messy grey hair materialized alongside Shizune in the doorway. "Sensei, I sensed a disturbance." Hatake Kakashi's attention turned to the small girl. "Is it one of those persistent hecklers of those overpriced cookies, again?"

"I don't know!" Minato wailed. "She snuck in here while I was reading Icha Icha."

"I see…" Kakashi unsheathed his short sword.

"STOP!" Shizune screeched. "She's not trying to sell you cookies, Hokage-sama. She's a diplomat from Suna and the younger sister of the Kazekage. Don't. Kill. Her."

Kagome swallowed hard. "…hi."

"Oh." Minato leaned back in his chair and twiddled his thumbs. "My mistake. Kakashi. Shizune. You're dismissed."

Shizune breathed a sigh of relief. "I think it's best if I…supervise." Kami knows they were just close to causing a war with Sunakagure.

Minato waved them off. "No, no… Go on. It should be fine." He flipped through some papers on his desk. "See? I'm reading things… and using my big stamp. I'm being mature."

Shizune hung her head. "Fine. But know Tsunade-sama is just down the hall…" she warned. "C'mon Kakashi, Kagome-sama isn't going to be heckling or swindling… our great leader."

Kakashi begrudgingly took a step out with the Chuunin and with solid thud, the great doors were closed and Kagome was alone with the most powerful man in the Land of Fire.

Kagome cringed at the sound and felt once again like an ant under a magnifying glass.

Minato set his feet on his desk. "So… Kagome, was it?"

"Hai," Kagome squeaked as she averted her gaze from the Hokage's unfaltering eyes. Be diplomatic, Kagome! she mentally screamed. Get on his good side! "You read Icha Icha as well?"

She had no idea what it was or even what it was about…

Minato's blonde brows shot up. "Kami… I've never met a girl… with such exquisite taste in literature." A wide duplicitous grin spread across the Yondaime's lips.

Kagome blushed. "Well… I… Arigato." She bowed slightly.

"Would you like to go to lunch? We have much to discuss!"

Author's Note: Hello everyone! I am back (^^) These are but drabbles of 500-700 words (because anything less is like a paragraph) to get my rhythm back. By the by, does anyone want Memoirs of a Prodigy back? (It's been haunting my thoughts as of late...) And REQUESTS ARE WELCOME for various couples/genres for other drabbles/short stories or even suggestions for this one! I want to get back into the swing of things. Anyways, I missed this and all you terribly. So, will you forgive my absence and have me back? ~KK
