Hello there peoples here the chapter, enjoy. R&R

I don't own Naruto.

So uh… what now?

Chapter 4: Tag

"Hi, Auntie Cherry!" I looked up to see Hoshi waving her arms wildly in the air. She was on Gaara's back. He looked shock for a slit second but then that impassive face I knew all to well made itself a mark on his face.

'Cha! Looked at Mr. sexy making his way toward us.'

"Hi Hoshi, Gaara – san." I gave a small wave as they made their way towards me.

"So Auntie Cherry, you wanna have fun today?" She was all happy, with her big smile but there was a glint in her eyes told me something was going to go sown today.

"Star, come here. I want to tell you something." She jumped off of Gaara's backs and bounced over to where I was.

"Yes, Auntie Cherry?" The question sounded so innocent, I actually believed she was.

'Cunning little fox but it won't work on me…again.'

OMG! Why do you have to bring up that incident, again? I thought we had that talk already! I mean being outsmarted by an eight year old is not something you should brag about. Inner just smile and started to giggle. Then the giggles turned into hysterical laughter, probably remembering the 'incident'.

"What are you doing?" She looked puzzled for a minute then it turned into a fox grin.

"Whatever are you talking about, Auntie Cherry?"

In that very moment I saw something. I looked at Gaara; he seemed uncomfortable.

"Gaara – san are you okay?" He looked at me then shifted his glaze elsewhere.

"Hn."

"Auntie," I looked back at Hoshi. "I think your clothes are making him act funny." She pointed to my shirt. I looked at myself, my shirt or my bindings they were a little damp from perspiration and my ANBU shorts with knee high sandals. My shirt was sitting on a bench not too far from here. Was he embarrassed that I was here or had he not see a woman before?

'I think it's the temptation of having us here in front of him.'

'You're a real nut case you know that.'

'I'm a fruit loop in a world of cheerios!'

'You're not making sense right now.'

'I know I'm not making sense which is why it makes sense.'

"What?"

"So… uh why did you bring us to the training ground?" Gaara stepped closer to us. He was wearing the same get up when we were fifteen.

'OMG, he talks!'

'And says full sentences. What's your point?'

'I think you like him.'

'I don't even know him.'

Hoshi just shrugged her shoulder. "I donno I was just bored." For the love of all things pure; was that all the girl wanted. To call two single ninjas away from their busy lives.

"So now that you have us here, what do you suppose we do?" He said

"Let's play, tag!" Hoshi threw up her hands and started running. "Two again one Auntie Cherry." She disappeared into the forest leaving Gaara and me looking confused. It was the second time we were alone together and there was that awkward silence.

Tag? She wanted to play tag.

There's nothing wrong with that right?

'Well, not unless you have a sexy man beast right in arms reach waiting to be fuc– '

'Your inner thoughts disturb me.'

'Get use to it honey; they're your thoughts too."

Guilty as charged.

"How do you play tag?" Gaara was standing right next to me. Inner was having a field day with her 'fantasies'. Pictures popped up in her head that she didn't even want to say out loud. They were playing tag alright, her version.

"Sakura."

'You a sick sick person.'

"Sakura."

'I know and you like it!'

'I would never.'

"Sakura!"

"What?!" Gaara was looking at like I had two heads. "What, Gaara, what?"

"Your face is a little red and there is some…stuff on your mouth." Now that he did mention it I was a little hot. I reached up to my mouth to where he pointed and there was a wet trail.

'Ha ha your were caught drooling!'

I ignored her laughter and wipe the fluid off fast.

~*~* Gaara (pov)

'Why is she acting like that? All I asked was 'how do you play tag'?'

' Let's fuck her. Quick while she's distracted!'

'I swear you are the biggest pervert.'

'You know you want to.' Shakaku was wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. 'Come on, kid I haven't gotten anything since I've been in this body.'

"How do you play tag?" I thought I should ask again and maybe I'll get an answer this time. She was looking at the sky. 'She has a long neck.' I'm not sure where the thought came from but it was true. Her neck was a cream light tan, clear and out in the open. I just wanted to…

'Bite it?'

I didn't answer him.

"Tag is a game – simple really – where the person who is it has to tag the person(s) who are not it." She looked at me now.

"It?"

"Yeah 'it' - the person who we have to catch everyone else. In this case it will be us." She explained pointing in the direction where Hoshi went. "If we catch her than she would be it. Get it."

There where a lot of its in the that sentence. Might as well give it a try. "It makes sense."

'Were you seriously trying to crack a joke that was pathetic?'

'Shut up, at least I tried.'

'And you crashed and burned.'

"You want to give it a go?" Sakura said putting on her shirt. She only zipped it up to the point of which her binding were showing.

'I'll love to give you a go.'

"Pervert."

"I'm sorry what you say?"

"I say let's go."

"Hello there guest what we have a special guest today, please welcome Hoshi!"

[audience applauds]

"Well Star what brings you here?"

"Well just wanted to say hi and all that other stuff, you know."

"Yeah, do you know what's going to happen in the next chapter?"

"Yes."

"Care to share?"

"Well….not really, no."

"Anything… anything at all?"

"Well readers should review."

"They already know that."

"Yeah…well that's all I have to share. Bye WLN have a good week end."

"You too bye Star."
