OMG, those reviews made me feel special XD I think I wrote too formally the last chapter, un. Ugh, I'm such a dingbat sometimes! Anyway, I would like to thank all the reviewers and hell, even the people that read this, un!
Seriously, you guys really keep me going. Oh and yes, I AM in fact procrastinating from updating Princess Resurrection, un. I'll update it...sometime late January.
But whatever, I think I just need a break from it! You guys so totally rock, un. Oh and thankies to everyone that at least read it! It makes my feel energized even when I look at the number of people that at least opened the tab, un. Hell, even if you thought it was cool, opened it, read it, and then closed out of it without a second thought. THANK YOU, UN.
Sorry if it's...weird or anything, un. I tried to finish it as quickly as possible. School starts again tomorrow but there's a free day on Wednesday since it's Russian Orthadox Christmas, un.
I would've written more, but I mean, c'mon. I can't just get... what? Like, four (or five by the time I post this...) reviews and then reward you guys with a fabulously long and detailed chapter, un. Sigh. So in return for the few reviews (trust me I'm still thankful!) I'm giving you the same size as last time. Enjoy or die. I spent a long time on this, un. Tobi, can you take it from here?
Tobi: Tobi and Rain do not own Naruto. Tobi is a good boy and Rain is a good girl.
Thank you Tobi. Here, have a leftover sugar cookie, un.
ENJOY, UN!!

I pulled away and blushed. I bowed, and my hair covered my face.
"Gomen, Kazekage-sama!" I said. My god, I was practically in tears. This was so embarrassing. When I looked up, he still had a confused/dazed look on his face. I looked at him. Was he...zoning out? I waved a hand in front of his face. No reaction.
"Um, Kazekage-sama? Are you okay?" I asked. Still no response. I turned to my medics-in-training. They hadn't noticed a thing. Inner let out her held breath.
That would've sucked if they saw that.
How do you know they aren't just acting?
I interviewed their Inners.
WHAAAAAT?!
I'll tell you later. Oh and your boyfriend just snapped out of it. You might want to pay attention to him.
She was right; he was now staring straight into my eyes, boring into them using his own. His look wasn't angry, not crazy, and not sad. I couldn't read his eyes.
When could you?
I could before. Kind of. Maybe. Not really. No. So what? He's SO NOT my boyfriend or anything!
Suuuuuuure. Whatever you saaaaaaaaay.
Urusai, ama. (see bottom)
Gaara continued staring at me with the weird look in his eyes for about five seconds. I would've melted into a puddle of jelly if not for the applause coming from behind me. I swiftly turned away from Gaara-sama to look at my medics-in-training.
"Yeah, good job, Daisuke!" I praised the head doctor. We were truly making progress! My head whipped to the side as I felt something touch my hand.
"Um, Haruno-san. I...um... I would be most pleased if you could accompany me for dinner this evening." He said. Oh my god. I think my heart just exploded.
Say whaaaaaaat?
...Huh?
"Uh..."
Great, just great. You try to talk to the guy you kindamaybesorta like...and you sound like a total retard. Nice going, self.
"I w-would l-love to, Sabaku-sama." I stuttered out. Kuso, at least I didn't worsen the situation. Gaara-sama smirked and released my hand. He walked back out silently, and I went into a slight daze.
...huh? What just happened?
I think...I just got asked out by the Kazekage...?!
"E-Everyone has d-done very w-well today. Please g-go home and replenish your e-energy for tomorrow." I said to the group. They smiled and nodded. Most said 'hai' or 'un'. I nodded to each half-medic as they left the room. Finally, as the last person left and the door closed, I slid down the back of it. I was breathing heavily and trying to control my mind.

We freaked out in unison. This had to be a dream! I pinched myself. Nope, I felt it. I took a couple deep breaths before getting up and walking out of the room, trying to contain my excitement and nervousness. I could just feel it rolling off of me in waves.

Konoha (3rd person) same time

Kakashi sighed. He and his team had been waiting outside of the Hokage's office for some time now, waiting for permission to enter.
SKRITCH SKRITCH
Sai drew a couple more clouds in the sky. He was drawing a scene with all of the team. Naruto was swinging childishly on a branch. Sasuke was leaning up against said tree with his eyes closed and arms crossed. Kakashi was reading cross-legged on the grass. Sai himself was sitting on the grass as well, sketching something. And Sakura...well...she was smiling and lying up against the trunk.
SHUP SHUP- SKRITCH SKRITCH SKRITCH
He erased a cloud and drew a bird instead. Its wings were expanded into flight mode. Sai stared at the blank-looking bird. It was uglier than the Hag!
SHUP SHUP SHUP SHUP
He erased it again.
"COME IN!!" A voice boomed, jolting awake Naruto and causing Sai to mess up. Kakashi closed his book and put it back into his vest. Sai scowled and stored away his sketchbook and pencil. They got up and trudged into the large office. Tsunade was sitting in her big, fancy, swivel chair looking at them, smiling. Her eyes were glazed over. Yup, she was drunk. Oh joy.

Suna (Sakura POV) one hour before date
--
I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAAAAAAARR!!!!!!
I tore the clothes off of the hanger and looked at them.
Too revealing.
Too slutty.
Too bright.
Too dark.
Too...ew.
Too pink.
I continued tossing clothes and shoes over my shoulder, only to land in a pile on top of Temari. The pile twitched. I ignored it. Anyways.
Too sparkly.
Too fluffy.
Too...perfect. My Inner cackled as I looked at the wonderful dress that lay in my hands.

Suna (Gaara POV) same time
--
I can't believe it. I was certain she would've rejected your sorry ass.
...It's your fault.
"Listen, Gaara. You can't wear that piece of kuso to your wonderful date. You have to look...sexy." Kankuro said and made a pose while lying on my bed.
"Nothing's wrong with my robes. And I will not allow incest in my house, thank you." I chewed out, "I do not intend to seduce Haruno-san."
I looked down at my robes. There were only a few scratches and rips here and there. At least it wasn't covered in blood. Shukaku smirked and purred.
'Course, you could just DO her and cover this with-
Don't you dare finish that sentence, you ero-baka.
"Oi, Gaara-teme! You listenin' to me?!" My annoying older brother was waving his hand in front of my face. I growled and snapped my hand up to snatch his.
"Don't...touch me." I said coldly. I glared my hardest at him, causing a shiver and some twitching. Unfortunately, he recovered quickly.
"I know!" He snapped his fingers, "You should wear one of my suits!"
My eye twitched. No way in hell I was going to wear a cat suit.
Say that to the mean looking puppets coming towards you.
Oh kuso! I forgot my gourd downstairs!
"No...no...get those things away from meeeee!!" I yelled as I was tackled mercilessly by the puppets.
--
one hour later...bwa ha ha ha...
--
I fidgeted on the bed as Kankuro gave me a lookover.
"Yeah...I guess you look alright." He said, "Our only hope is that Pinky thinks your sexy." He clutched his hands and sighed dreamily.
I gulped and looked up. He had a spacy look on his face.
"Heh!" My brother snickered, "My brother's gonna get laid!" I punched him.

With Sakura (first POV)
--
"Oh my god, that dress is really hot!" Temari said. She had long since dug her way out of the Mount Everest pile of dresses, and was helping me with my hair and such.
I gave a scared look at Temari. She was clutching eyeliner and a package of hair clips quite dangerously, mind you. Was she insane?!
"You want me to wear...makeup?!" I screeched. She looked at me innocently.
"Yes, is that a problem?" I growled mentally.
"I am not wearing makeup, Temari."
"Yes you are." She argued.
"No I'm not." I crossed my arms.
"Yes." She got up in my face.
"No." I said coldly.
"No?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." I confirmed.
"YES!" She pumped her fists in the air. Oh kuso. I just got tricked into wearing makeup!! NOOOOOO!!
We...are so damn screwed, dattebayo.
Hell yeah.

Konoha (3rd POV) one hour later
--
"What do you MEAN she's in Suna with Gaara?!" Naruto shouted. Tsunade took a deep breath.
"Sakura is in Suna to help out and heal the Kazekage. I bet she's enjoying herself right now!" She said, trying to look on the bright side of things. ((Trust me Tsunade, it's hard to when you're strapped down and forcefully being makeup-a-fied.))
"I want to go see Sakura-chan!" Whined Naruto.
"I agree." Kakashi deadpanned.
"We should go see Ugly." Sai said without emotion. The Hokage drummed her fingertips against the wooden desk.
"Okay...I might as well send out her friends too, ne?" She asked. Naruto nodded vigorously.
"When are we heading out?" Kakashi asked. The Hokage tapped her chin.
"It would be most advantageous if you left right now, I guess." Tsunade said.
"WOO HOO! LET'S GO PACK THEN, GUYS!" Naruto yelled and ran out of the office excitedly. You could hear the curses and sounds of things being broken.
BAM
He slammed into the front door, most likely.
"I'm alright, I'll be fine!" He yelled.
THONK
...That was the metal pole.
"I'm...ouch...okay, dattebayo!!"
THWACK
The side of Ichiraku's...
"I...can make it...datte...bayo..."
THUMP
He fainted.
This was going to be one hell of a surprise visit.
--
Gomen- sorry
Urusai- shut up
Ama- bitch
Kuso- shit
Ero- perverted
Baka- idiot, stupid, dumb, retard, etc.
Dattebayo- believe it
Hope you like it, un. Oh and yes, I did kidnap Tobi in order for him to do the disclaimers. I would've picked Hidan, but he would cuss too much. And if I chose Deidara, we would go on an art rant ("Art is a BANG, yeah!" "Totally, un!"). Yes, I am in fact bribing him with sugar cookies, un. -eats another one- Tobi, do you want another, un?
Tobi: Yes please, Rain-chan.
Ok, here you go, un. -hands over another cookie-
The last time I checked, raccoons could purr. They make this little purr-like sound by vibrating their throat and voice box. It's absolutely ADORABLE!!
YAY! Chapter two is COMPLETE, UN!! Next chapter is the date, un, and I think some humor will somehow squeeze in there. Sorry for the perverseness from Shukaku, un. It was important to the story line. This will stay T, as I am too lazy to make this a lemon, un. ^^ Review and I'll give you a reply, review (for one of your stories), and a digital sugar cookie. Next update will either be Wednesday or Sunday. -shrugs- it depends how lazy I get, un.
Tune in next time for another exciting episode of...
THE STRANGE VACATION OF DOOOOOOOOM!!
Shut the hell up, Inner.
You can't tell me to shut up!
I can and I will, un. -pulls out rocket launcher-
You can't kill me either!
Yes...yes I can, un.
That would be killing yourself!!
...And since I'm immortal and can't die, as soon as I come back to life you're dead, un!
Oh. Well then. That sucks.
Fuck yeah it does for you, un. NOW DIIIEEE!!
