Chapter Four: Announcement

Disclaimer: Still own anything, not Naruto, not the characters, and not even the computer I'm typing on. I just broke in to someone's house to type on a computer.

Author's note: Where are all the fans from the first one, you asked me to my write this and you're not reviewing. Aint no love in the heart of the city.

Well Renji was the one to have to look up Gakko Island so he was off to the traveling brochure place. Now Renji hated it when they talk too much about nothing because it was a waste of time and he felt like he could be doing other things with his time like looking at women as they bathed. The person who was at the counter of the brochure place talked a lot about everything, which made Renji take notice of the brochure place. The walls of the place were painted in an ugly yellowish green that reminded of the slime from garbage. On the walls were pictures of places that were meant to show the beautiful side of the place for either advertisement or to make up for the ugly walls. Renji had looked at the picture of Gakko Island and found it to look promising, but he still had his doubts because it might be pricey. Renji might have tried to estimate the amount of the budget the traveling and rooms would take up, but right now he was fighting the urge to beat the shit out of the guy at the counter. The man had black hair that he put to much gel in and shaved daily as his strong after-shave gave him up.

"Do you have any maps of Gakko Island," asked Renji trying to get set up a good location to have the ceremony at.

"Yes sir, we have land form maps, tourist maps, theme park maps," said the man at the desk. He was too enthusiastic about his job, which scared Renji a bit. "We have maps of the sea formations, maps of the onsen, maps showing the map stores, maps showing the restaurants, maps showing the positions of bathrooms, and maps showing the position of stars at night."

"I just want the map that shows the land features in correlation with the man made features such as hotels and buildings," replied Renji. "All the other crap is a waste of my time. One more thing, does Konoha have any connections with Gakko Island?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact Konoha protects Gakko Island and as such receives free cabins," said the man running his hand through his hair and coming back with a hand covered in gel. "Also, the Fourth Hokage reserved a small place for wedding ceremonies that can be used anytime for wedding ceremonies."

That was all Renji needed to hear so he left with the map in hand, giving a dangerous glare at the man asking him to pay for the map to silence him. That was why he was the one going for maps, because Marie would have paid for the maps, but Renji never paid a cent for maps. He considered them to be something best left outside of the budget and always gave that dangerous look when they expected him to pay for the map. Now all that was left was to call up the Godaime and have the cabins registered as well as the planes. It was a good thing that Konoha had it's own airport, or else they'd have to pay for the plane tickets. Using his glare for the tickets might get him noticed, something that he was trying to avoid since he was running from his past. That's why he worked with Marie, she never asked about his past or where he got his scars from.

"Okay that seems very logical," said Tsunade as the wedding planner's assistant finished explaining the reasoning behind having the wedding at Gakko Island. She then gave them a smile as she motioned for the guards in her office to open the doors. "Now I can invite the others in to tell them the news."

"Let me ask you something Tsunade-sama," requested Renji with his hand to his forehead showing his frustration. "You didn't care where we had this damn wedding did you? I could have told you that we were going to have the wedding in hell and you would have cheerfully agreed with me, is that not right?"

"Maybe it is or maybe I knew where you would be going," replied Tsunade with a wink.

"Do you think she might have guessed where we were going," asked Marie whispering in Renji's ear, a thing that always made Renji blush and his heart race for a reason that she couldn't see.

"With her gambling skills I doubt it," replied Renji. "I'm willing to bet that we had another choice that she had bet on with someone else, maybe Keiji or Jiraiya or Kakashi since they all knew the Fourth Hokage and probably knew that he had that place reserved."

"No," replied Shizune. "She made the bet with Gaara-sama, who said that he was told by the wind."

Rinji had seen Gaara once and he could feel that there was something more to him than meets the eye. It wasn't the Shukaku, everyone knew about that, but it was almost like death seemed to revolve differently around him ever since he was born. Maybe it had to be because he was born from death and had been around it all his life. Renji was now sure that Gaara had a special connection with the dead and was probably told by the Fourth Hokage about the place.

"So what did Gaara ask for," asked Marie before Renji, which surprised him because usually Marie would let things go past her.

"A night with me," replied Tsunade smiling.

"You wish," muttered Renji scratching the back of his head as he hoped Tsunade hadn't heard his comment. Unfortunately she had heard the comment.

"PERVERTED BASTARD," shouted Tsunade as she gave him a punch that broke two of his ribs and much internal damage, but he was still standing.

"I'm not the one fantasizing about having sex with someone who is years younger than me," retorted Renji, who had the ground kicked out from under him.

"Why do you even bother with this sukebe," asked Tsunade as the important people came in. Kakashi, the Suna family including Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Kiba, Neko, Shino, Neiji, Tenten, Rock Lee, Gai, Yamato, Sai, Anko, Keiji, Iruka, Kurenai, Sakura with Sasuke following, and finally NaruHina, as the couple had been called.

"Well he has been getting better," said Marie smiling.

"So I might have killed him had I met him a while back." commented Tsunade before turning to acknowledge her guests. "Well everyone, thanks to our excellent wedding planner and her assistant, we've decided to have the wedding at Gakko Island so pack your bags and be ready tomorrow."

"Why do we always have only a night to pack," asked Ino annoyed since they only had a night to pack the last time they went to Gakko Island.

"A shinobi must be able to pack at any time they have to go on a mission," replied Tsunade. "And I don't want any smart ass comment form you two, Renji and Keiji."

Keiji didn't have a smart-ass remark to make after what had happened the last time he had made one. He was sent flying through a wall when he was on the thirteenth floor. Renji, however, did have a smart-ass comment to make, but now he had seen the error of his ways. Not that he found the joys of being nice, he was still trying to when asshole of the year award. After much thought about what comment he was going to make, Renji had decided on doing a comment about women taking to long to pack, but he decided against seeing as how he had the most dangerous women in the world and he was sure that they'd strap him to a chair and kill him. He didn't have the strength to go toe-to-toe with all of the women in the room even if he wasn't injured.

"THIS WILL BE A GREAT TIME TO LET LOOSE THE FIRES OF YOUTH," shouted Gai. "LEE!"

"GAI SENSAI!"

"LEE!"

"GAI SENSAI!"

LEE!"

The two embraced each other in a tight hug with a sunset in the background. Renji could only wonder how the hell they did that and what kind of freaks they were, but as he noticed how tight the hug was, he realized that he didn't want to know.

"Do they always do this," asked Renji as Shizune saw to his internal wounds.

"Always," replied Neiji. Tenten shook her head in agreement.

"So have they eloped yet or do they not allow gay marriages in Konoha," asked Renji.

"It's we don't ask and we sleep peacefully," replied Neiji, obviously uninterested in having the conversation.

I was the next day and the men were all down at the same diner where Naruto had broken the news to Sakura and Sasuke. Renji had waffles, same as Keiji and Sagat, none of them ate pork, while the rest had the works. Omelets with bacon, eggs, and waffles. The guys had a lot of questions to ask Renji, who was very resilient to Neiji's persuasion, partly do to the fact that Renji wasn't afraid of someone who used taijutsu, himself being an expert in taijutsu and ninjutsu.

"So how do you two know each other," asked Neiji.

"Oh we met at a little place called none of your god damn business," replied Renji as he took a bite of his waffles. His black vest was blending in tot he black walls of the diner.

"I'm not a person you should take lightly," said Neiji. "I became a jonin at a young age I'll have you know."

"I bet your clan gave it to you as a little thank you for being the guard dog for the main branch," said Renji. "Look at you, you're no different from Rock Lee, a person you called a failure. All that shit you talked about a long time ago has come back to bite you in the ass as you are just another jonin in a swarm of people more experienced and stronger than you. I don't need to take shit from the likes of you."

'Well can you tell us how close you two are," asked Keiji nicely and not in a demanding tone that Neiji had used.

"She's the only person I trust, but we're not what you think we are," said Renji. "After all, I mean look at me, do you'd think she'd be interested in a guy like me."

"All I want to know is if that's the time," asked Shikamaru who had just woken up and had a piece of bacon on his face.

"Hey waitress is that the time," asked Renji as he groped the waitress to get her attention.

"Yes that is the time, but don't you dare do that pervert," shouted the waitress as she slapped Renji.

"There's your answer," replied Renji going back to finishing off his waffles.

"We're supposed to meet them over at the bus stop in two minutes," said Shikamaru, shocked.

"HOLY CRAP THERE GONNA KILL US," cried Naruto.

The men stared at where certain death awaited them at the hands of the women, even Renji, who had frustrated Marie yesterday by pissing off one of the onsen owners so much that the two were band from the onsen.

"Well it was nice knowing most of you," said Renji as he gulped and took a step towards the girls.

"Come on tell us," begged Anko as she looked at Marie. The girls had spent most of the time trying to get the juicy details about Marie and Renji's relationship, but all they had found was a romance that seemed dormant.

"Why do you want to know how we met," asked Marie.

"Because we just have to know how a nice person like you met a terrible man like Renji," replied Sakura. The other women nodded in agreement.

"Okay if you must," replied Marie.

Author's note: Find out how they met in the next chapter, but I must have a review for it to be soon.
