Harpygirl91- Hello! I'm happy I have Root beer and sunflower seeds and my birthday's today!. I'm now 14. My mom's feels old though. And on with the chapter before I start to ramble. OH and someone else from the Naruto world is going to show up and be paired with Setsuna!

Haruka & Michiru- 26

Setsuna- Does anybody have any idea? Well she looks 26

Chapter 2: Meetings... Run boys run from Haruka!

Gaara stood in front of the dresser mirror and stared at himself. His hand went up to his tattoo of the kanji 'love' then his thoughts traveled to Hotaru. She looked so different now. The pretty girl he had played with once now was a beautiful young woman and she now had friends and a foster family that from what he could tell by what Hotaru said about them they meant a lot to her. He turned as someone knocked the door to his room. "Come in." He shouted.

"Good morning Gaara-kun," Hotaru said as she entered she was wearing her favorite black dress and her feet were bare," Breakfast is ready so I thought to come get you so you can meet Haruka-papa, Michiru-mama, and Setsuna-mama."

"Are Naruto and Sasuke up?" Gaara asked.

"Naruto's barely awake and Sasuke woke up well before anybody else did." Hotaru smiled while leading him down the stairs to the kitchen where a woman with wavy teal blue hair was fixing breakfast.

"Hi you must be Gaara." She said turning and smiling at Gaara," It's nice to meet you. I'm Michiru. I'll be finished in a bit. I'm having to fix some more food because Naruto ate practically enough for an army and I though Usagi-hime ate a lot."

"Hey Hime-chan," Said a tall blonde 'man' from the doorway the man frowned as he saw Gaara," so you're Gaara?"

"Yes." Gaara said glaring back.

"So you're Hime-chan's very first friend." Haruka said walking around him in a circle," If you do anything that hurts Hotaru. I won't hesitate to kill you it doesn't matter to me if you're her friend. You hurt her you die."

"I wouldn't hurt her for anything." Gaara said glaring even more. He nearly fell over when Haruka grinned at him.

"Ruka-chan, why did you have to put him through one of your tests?" Michiru said shaking her head.

Gaara looked at the two people curiously. "Your adoptive father is protective of you isn't he?" Gaara asked staring at Hotaru. Who burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry but Haruka-papa's a she not a 'he'." Hotaru said giggling like a little girl.

"Does Naruto know that?" Gaara asked. Hotaru shook her head.

"You think I could have some help?" Michiru asked motioning to the plates of food. Gaara picked up all ten of the plates. He balanced five plates on each arm and used his chakra to hold them in place.

"Gaara-kun, I can carry some." Hotaru said frowning.

"I've got them." Gaara said and walked through the kitchen door and followed the sound of food being consumed.

"Moft fot." Naruto shouted with his mouth full of food. (Translation More food)

"Don't talk with your mouth full." Makoto scolded and chunked a spoon at him.

"Hey!" Naruto said swallowing and dodging the spoon. (flying spoon!)

Minako started to laugh and shoved her plate towards Naruto," Help yourself to my leftovers."

"Thank you!" Naruto shouted and attacked the leftovers on what had been Minako's plate.

"How do people like him and Usagi-chan eat so much but stay so skinny?" Makoto asked.

"They probably have a high metabolism." Hotaru said and helped Gaara place the plates on the table. Once all of the plates were set up Michiru, Haruka, and a woman with dark green hair and red eyes walked in and sat down. Hotaru sat down beside the woman with green hair and motioned for Gaara to sit by her. Minako and Makoto giggled at that and Hotaru raised an eyebrow at them.

"Will you stop that insane giggling?" Sasuke glared," It's very annoying."

"Why doesn't somebody take that stick out of your ass and beat you with it?" Haruka said glaring at Sasuke. (I read that line in one of my mom's fantasy books)

Sasuke glared back but then turned away. After a while everyone had finished eating. "We should take them shopping for more clothes so they fit in." Setsuna said grinning.

Minako grinned evilly," Oh yeah that sounds excellent." (; me; MALLS ARE EVIL:My little sister: Nuh they're cool. ;Me; SHUT UP I thought I told you to turn the TV down too! )

Naruto grinned and stood up and shouted," LET'S Go!"

in the Naruto Dimension

"Tsunade-sama, where do you think Naruto and Sasuke-kun are?" Sakura asked worriedly.

"I don't know." Tsunade said shrugging as she looked around Naruto's room.

"Well they aren't anywhere in the village or in the forest." Kakashi said popping in.

"Where could they be?" Tsunade wondered out loud.

Kakashi walked forward and picked up what seemed to be a long silver string. "Any idea what this is, Sakura?" Kakashi asked. Sakura looked at it very carefully.

"It looks like some sort of strange string." Sakura said taking it in her hands," But they're some markings on it."

"It's a transportation string." Kakashi said," It takes people to a different place or even another dimension."

"Hmm." Tsunade said taking it from Sakura and studying it," The marking are a garnet red so it's probably for another dimension but what dimension?"

"Well someone with the right amount of chakra should be able to use it." Sakura said turning to Kakashi," But who?"

"I'll use it." Kakashi said taking it.

"But Kakashi-senshi!" Sakura said," What if you're drained of your chakra or you wind up someplace deadly?"

"She's right." Tsunade said.

"I'm their teacher and I'm going to find them." Kakashi said and concentrated his chakra on the string. The sting grew longer and longer but it almost seemed to disappear. A chill filled the air and then Kakashi disappeared. (remember the chill Gaara felt before he was teleported to the SM dimension?)

"will he be ok?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know." Tsunade said.

back to the SM dimension

They had been shopping for a few hours and were finally heading back to the outer's mansion. The boys had each chosen different outfits to where from another store. Gaara was wearing a pair of baggy black jeans, black sneakers, and a loose red shirt with a dragon on it. Naruto was wearing an outfit Makoto had picked out for him; a pair of blue jeans, chukkas, and an orange shirt. (Chukkas are short of like cowboy boots only they reach right above your ankle and are extremely comfortable) Sasuke was wearing and outfit similar to what he usually wore, navy blue shorts, navy blue shirt, and black sandals. (Wow his outfit choice is lame)

Hotaru and Gaara were talking to each other in the very back of the eight passenger van. "I can't believe I'm here again." Gaara said staring at Hotaru.

"I can't believe I'm seeing you again." Hotaru said smiling. (here's the seating arrangement. Front; Haruka & Michiru; directly behind them Makoto, Minako, & Naruto; behind them Sasuke and Setsuna; very back Hotaru and Gaara.)

"You look so different with that tattoo." Hotaru said reaching up and gently touching Gaara's tattoo.

Gaara froze as she gently touched his tattoo. His hand reached up and covered hers. "You're different too." Gaara said then Hotaru pulled her hand away as if offended," I mean in a good way. You're not so sad anymore." He felt his heart melt as Hotaru gave him a smile.

with row two of the van (Makoto, Minako, & Naruto)

"Look at those two." Makoto giggled.

"We have got to find a way to make them more than friends." Minako said and turned to Naruto.

"What?" Naruto asked worriedly.

"Does he have a girlfriend?" Minako asked.

"Not that I know of." Naruto said and caught on to their plan.

"Perfect." Makoto said smiling. Minako grinned evilly because she wasn't only planning of putting Hotaru and Gaara together, but also Makoto and Naruto.

After they pulled into the driveway the boys grabbed their bags and Sasuke and Naruto raced to see who could get to the open door first. (the girls already opened the door.) They reached the door at the exact same time and wound up stuck.

"Move it Sasuke-baka!" Naruto shouted at him.

"you first Dobe!" Sasuke snarled.

"Can we help you?" Setsuna asked.

"Yeah!" Both Sasuke and Naruto said then they realized Setsuna wasn't talking to them but a familiar looking man dressed in traditional ninja garb, a black mask covering the bottom half of his face, a ninja head band covering his left eye, silver hair, and a familiar book in his hand.

"Kakashi-sensei?" The boys exclaimed!

"Hey you two still fighting in this dimension." Kakashi said mocking the two.

"You know Naruto-san?" Makoto asked Kakashi.

"I'm their teacher." Kakashi said grinning underneath his mask. 'Man they winded up in a good dimension. Hey is that Gaara? What's he doing here?' (For Sailor Ra. Kakashi is a very cool character but he's a pervert and he's always reading an adult book called Make-out Paradise)

"Well this is strange." Haruka said as Sasuke and Naruto finally got unstuck and Gaara entered after they got out of the way.

"What are you doing here, Gaara?" Kakashi asked suspiciously. Gaara glared at him.

"We don't know." Gaara said coldly.

"Gaara-kun, what's wrong?" Hotaru asked placing a hand on Gaara's shoulder.

Kakashi blinked as he saw Gaara's gaze soften as he looked at the pale girl. "Well maybe we should get everything sorted out." Said Setsuna.

'Hello gorgeous!' Kakashi mind said loudly. "I don't mind." He said out loud and stepped closer to Setsuna who smiled at him sweetly. Then Kakashi noticed a leg aimed at his thigh in an attempted kick and grabbed her ankle.

"Nice try." He said flirty. (Sorry I couldn't help but want to put them together. They'd make a funny couple!)

"Why don't you begin?" Haruka asked motioning to the ninjas.
