Well, this story is quite fluffy for the most part, a little ecchi too. But I am having some fun with it, so I hope that the readers are enjoying it also.

Ebisu traveled down the hall on his errand, head down and cheeks burning in embarrassment. He could hear the teasing from his fellow ninja already. He gritted his teeth in frustration, he hated looking like an idiot. However, it never seemed to fail when Naruto was involved, even if it was by proxy.

'I guess I do deserve the punishment though, especially after bruising that cute chick's arm so badly.' That thought made his face glow with shame. Grabbing the papers he needed, he hurried back to the Hokage's office.

In the meantime, Anito got acquainted with the members of Team 7. Although she was a few years older than the 16 and 17 year olds; she could tell they would be fun to hang out with.

Sakura and Naruto asked her questions about where she was from and how she liked the village. Kakashi offered to show her around after Naruto for her to confess that she was 22 years old. Anito found it difficult to withhold information from the energetic teen. Sasuke stood back and feigned disinterest, but secretly enjoyed meeting the bubbly blond, she was like Naruto in a lot of ways. Thankfully, she wasn't as loud or tactless.

Ebisu arrived back in the room just in time to hear Sakura.

"What are your plans for today, Anito? We just finished a mission, so I could show you around." Sakura shot a glare at Kakashi, mentally calling him a pervert.

"Thanks, for the offer, but Hokage-Sama has provided me with an assistant. However, it would be great if we could meet for dinner and if you could go to the bath with me. You are the only female I have met so far, besides Tsunade Sama."

"Sure, why don't we meet at the ramen shop around six." Sakura looked at Naruto, whose eyes had lit up at the word ramen, she knew better than to leave him out. "You come also Naruto, actually everyone should come, that way Anito can meet some people and we can welcome her to the village." Sakura smiled at the thought of the impromptu party.

'Alright!" Naruto cheered.

"That sounds like fun," Anito agreed. She spotted Ebisu sulking into the room. "I need to go now, see you later, Sakura-chan, Naruto-chan." She winked at Naruto and waved goodbye to Kakashi and Sasuke. She had grown to like the small group very quickly and appreciated Naruto's slapstick sense of humor. She acknowledged her look alike by calling him chan instead of kun, because of his girl genjutso. Naruto's face lit up in a happy grin. "Ebisu-san, I need to go back to the market and do my shopping." She waited a full minute while he just looked at her waiting for something. 'Well, I don't know where it is. So you will have to show me. I am not a ninja and I have a difficult time paying attention to directions when I am being forcibly moved about like a rag doll." She stated calmly. 'You big jerk.' She added mentally. 'I wonder if I can make this a true form of hell for him. He does deserve it for hurting me.' Anito turned to follow the stern looking man out to the street with a tired sigh.

'Geez, does he always wear those dark glasses. He is way to pompous for my taste, he acts like he thinks he is God's gift to the world or something.'

Naruto had, of course, relayed the entire story of the closet pervert/Harem no jutso incident, well he left out some of it (the more personal remarks). Kakashi had remarked that it sounded like an interesting way to fill the afternoon, and of course, Naruto and Sakura had shouted, "PERVERT!" Sasuke rolled his eyes in disbelief and Anito giggled at the picture it created.

Back in the market, Ebisu slowed down and waited impatiently for Anito to catch up.

"What do you want to buy?" He curtly asked the out of breath girl. "I have far more important things I need to be doing."

'I need fabric and some other things for my bedroom." Anito frowned at his bad attitude. She looked around to try to find something familiar. "Oh, that's where I was when you grabbed me." She pointed showing off her black and blue wrist with clearly marked finger outlines.

The jounin gulped a little to see the prominent bruising. He felt ashamed for having hurt a civilian in such a stupid manner. He bowed his head, "I am sorry I hurt you." He spoke quietly.

"I'll forgive you but, you really need to learn some self-control, you probably don't even realize how strong you are." The blond strolled over to the stall, gently touching the fabrics. "Hmm, this is beautiful."

She pulled out an iridescent bolt in shades of red and gold. "I want this bolt and this one." She pulled out another bolt in iridescent purples and gold. 'These will be gorgeous draped around my walls. I can do sunset colors as a theme."

The proprietor smiled at the girl, dollar signs quite obvious in his eyes.

Looking through some other fabrics she saw a beautiful dark purple silk. "Oh, Ebisu isn't this great? Feel this it's so luxurious."

Ebisu reached out to touch it. "Yes, it's nice." He commented.

"It will make such nice sheets." Anito glanced at him, feeling naughty; with the information she received from Naruto she has the perfect way to torment the young man. "I can't wait to slip into these sheets and feel the silk clinging to my bare skin. What an incredible sensation." She sighed in delight, murmuring the comment just loud enough for Ebisu to hear.

"I can't believe you, that is so so.. Decadent." He stuttered out. He could not conceal the hot flush on his face as his mind went out of control; picturing her and adding him, touching her through the smooth silk.

"And your point is? I am an adult after all even if I look like I am still too young for such things. I see no shame in indulging my senses in such a way." She turned away from him in a huff to pay the shopkeeper.

She pulled the money from her wallet and handed it over to the waiting man. It put quite a dent in her savings, but it was worth it. She did have to see her room every day, so making it into a warm and beautiful place was her goal.

"I can have these delivered for you miss." The man offered.

"That's alright, just wrap them for me and we will take them with us." Anito smiled a winning expression at the merchant.

"Of course." The man smiled back and wrapped the package then turned to hand it to Ebisu. "Your girlfriend has excellent taste young man. You are very lucky."

The jounin hastily picked up the heavy and awkward package, blushing yet again. "Umm, thanks." He stuttered, not knowing what else to say without it sounding insulting to both parties.
