Me: ok this is a little shorter then the last two.
Kaya: she's to lazy to write anymore.
Me: I gotta stop letting you type on here!
Kaya: shut up.
Me: I tried so many times to get her off but she keeps coming back.
Kaya: you can't get rid of me. (grins)
Me: enjoy! Review! Please!
when I got home ma, and Akamaru were in the kitchen relaxing.
"Iori what did Tsunade want?"
Ma called.
"Have a mission with Naruto to Suna!"
I shouted from the stairs Akamaru following me.
"Naruto? Hmm?"
I heard her say. I didn't like that 'hmm' at all. I grabbed a couple of day's worth of clothes, an extra weapon pouch, first aid kit, and food for Akamaru, and myself.
"Ready Pup?"
Ma asked behind me. I nodded.
"Yea ma."
"I think you should really get to know Naruto, and I mean relationship way."
I dropped my pack on the floor turning to her.
"Ma!"
I exclaimed.
"What?"
She asked innocently.
"Ma I don't like Naruto that way infact I don't like him at all. He irritates me, and, and he he's a loud mouth Baka…"
"So are you Pup."
She shot. I glared at her.
"Ma! Me, and Naruto? Ha!"
She cocked her brow at me with a smirk.
"For someone who finds the blond annoying you sure do blush a lot at the thought."
I looked away from her.
"Ma why Naruto?"
I asked.
"He'll be perfect for you to have pups with!"
"Ma!"
I shouted not even believing I was having this kinda talk with my mother!
"What?"
"Your suppose to make me not want to have sex, and think about kids! Not try to get me to fuck the Baka!"
"Who said anything about you fucking him? I want you to date him, and then fuck!"
She said with a smile. Akamaru whimpered in displeasure next to me.
"See now your making Akamaru feel weird!"
I said pointing at him. He barked 'goodbye' and ran out of the room.
"Come Iori your sixteen you need to find a mate now…"
"Hana doesn't have a mate, and she twenty-three!"
I shot back. She shook her head.
"I had this talk with her, and she can be stubborn as…"
"You?"
She rolled her eyes.
"Yes, and look where that got me two daughters, no husband, oldest doesn't find any guy interesting enough for her, and one who won't listen to her ma, and go for the one who is perfect for her!"
"I thought you wanted me to be with Kankuro?"
I said wondering what happened to that conversation last year.
"Kankuro's to far away, and he doesn't come down enough, Naruto lives here, and you see him every other day."
I looked at the clock. Seeing as I had to go I grabbed the pack I had dropped, and walked past ma.
"I gotta go. See you when I get back."
I said heading out the door Akamaru right behind me.
"Iori come on we have to go!"
Naruto shouted. I nodded, and we took off running. After about two hours we stopped to rest of a while.
"Hey Iori let's play a game."
Naruto suggested. I looked at confused. That wasn't expected.
"Sure why not?"
I said with a shrugged. He grinned at me.
"Ok truth or dare?"
He asked. So it was that game? Really?
"Naruto why that game?"
I asked sitting in front of him.
"Cause it's the first thing to pop in. so truth or dare?"
He said. I thought about it. If I picked dare he dare me to do something stupid, and if I pick truth? Well he already asked me if I like anyone so what could happened.
"Truth."
He pouted.
"Your no fun."
He whined.
"Naruto."
I said warningly.
"Who do like? And don't lie cause I can tell."
I bit my bottom lip nervously.
'Why that? Anything but that!'
I thought in a slight panic. I gulped.
"W-why do you want to know so bad?"
I asked looking away with a slight blush.
"Cause I am."
He answered.
'Think! Think Iori think!'
I shouted in my head. Then conversation with ma came to mind.
"Kankuro."
I answered in a hurry. His jaw dropped.
"Kankuro!?"
He exclaimed. Akamaru barked 'Kankuro' as well staring at me. I nodded.
"Yeah K-K-Kankuro… I don't know it's just a slight crush really."
I admitted. It was true I did have a slight crush on the puppeteer when he rescued me from those weird twin guys when Sasuke left. But now I don't what I feel for him I seen him a couple times since then but I never really thought about my crush on him.
'Maybe I'm getting over it.'
I thought.
"Kankuro?"
I heard Naruto whispered. Not liking the upset look on his face I asked.
"Truth or dare?"
He thought for a moment.
"Truth."
I thought about what to ask him.
"Do you like anyone?"
I asked sheepishly. I wanted him to say 'yeah you' but I knew that wasn't gonna happen.
"I like this girl."
He said leaning against a tree.
"Who?"
I asked. He shook his head.
"Your turn. Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
I said. He thought for a moment.
"I dare you to… to wear a dress!"
A dress? He wants me to a dress?
'Of all the things he could've picked he picked that?'
I thought.
"Naruto all the thing you could've made me do you pick where a dress? Why?"
I asked still not believing it. He shrugged.
"Cause I never seen you in a dress, and you told Ino plenty of times you hate them so."
"Fine whatever. Truth or dare?"
I said not caring anymore.
"Truth."
He said again. I bit my lip.
"Who do you like?"
I asked my voice full a curiosity. I wanted to know who he liked, who stole his heart? Was she really girly, is that why Naruto don't like me?
'Stop thinking that way! You don't like Naruto!'
"Well I can't really tell you cause your really close to her."
'Does that mean it's Hinata?'
I thought.
"But I will tell you that she's smart…"
'Hinata.'
"She's a great Shinobi…"
'Hinata.'
"She's great with kids which is great cause I want kids when I'm older…"
'Hinata's great with kids too… she had a crush on him at one point maybe she'll return his feelings.'
I thought sadly.
"And she's a hell of a girl to be around. You know the really out going one?"
'That doesn't sound like Hinata… Ino maybe? No! She doesn't like kids too much. Maybe Sakura? He liked her when we were little so maybe…"
"Really? She sound… really great… Naruto."
I said looking down. I was trying to think who it might be Sakura's the most possible choice so it must be her.
"Yeah but she doesn't like me that way always picking fights with me."
He said. That confirmed it was Sakura. He still likes her after all these years.
"You should just tell her how you feel Naruto, and see where it goes from there."
I told him. He nodded.
"Your right I'll her when I get back to the village thanks Iori."
He said patting my arm. I gave him a small smile in return.
"Any time."
I said. After that we took off again Suna is a three days away after all. At night we decided to stay in a little village. It was cute it felt so homey, and everyone were so sweet to us.
"Iori want to find a ramen shop?"
Naruto asked.
"How bout something other then ramen?"
I suggested. He gave me a 'your crazy' look making me glare at him.
"Iori I want ramen."
He whined.
"And I don't!"
I snapped. God he was irritating most of the time. He huffed
"Fine I'll go have ramen, and you could go have whatever you want."
He said leaving. I looked at Akamaru confused at what just happened. He shrugged.
"Where did that come from?"
I asked. He shrugged again.
