Chapter 6 –

Gaara was sitting at his desk and was waiting for an envoy from Kumo to enter his office. He looked out the window and a quizzical look crossed his face. Just then a woman entered the room wearing a jounin outfit and a Kumo headband. "Greetings from Kumogakure no Sato, Kazekage-sama," she said in a pleasing tone.

He stood and turned to the woman and said, "I'm sorry for having you wait so long to see me, jounin-san, but meetings ran a little longer than I thought they would." He saw her nod her acceptance for his apology and then he said, "There is something bothering me outside, would you care to accompany me?"

She looked at him wearily, but nodded when she saw him point at something outside the window. She smiled and said, "It would be my pleasure to accompany you Kazekage-sama."

The pair headed to the stairs that led to the top of the building. "So jounin-san, what…" Gaara asked, but was interrupted by the woman.

"Yugito, Nii Yugito, Kazekage-sama," she said correcting Gaara.

"Forgive me Yugito-san, if I may?" he asked and she nodded. They began to ascend the stairs, and he asked, "So Yugito-san, what does the Raikage want from Suna?"

Yugito was taken aback by his forwardness, but didn't show it and replied, "He wanted to improve relations with both Suna and Konoha, but thought it would be easier to start with Suna."

"Very good thinking," Gaara said, as he opened the door to hear several explosions. Both looked out of the door to see a blonde wearing a black cloak with read clouds landing on the roof.

"I see I attracted your attention, jinchuuriki, but how did you figure it out?" Deidara asked happily.

"That bird isn't found here in the desert," Gaara explained.

"So what does Akatsuki want with this village?" Yugito asked.

Deidara pointed at Gaara and laughed. "His Bijuu, nothing more, nothing less," he answered happily.

Deidara jumped quickly onto his clay bird and watched the sand follow him.

"Are you just going to chase him with your sand?" Yugito asked pointedly.

"Yes, unless you have a better idea," Gaara replied.

"Give me a minute…" she said, while she watched the Akatsuki member evade the sand. She then asked, "Can we get up there with him?"

Gaara nodded and a cloud of sand formed in front of the pair. It rose to staggering heights with both of them aboard. "Is this high enough for you?" he asked.

A blue flame formed in her hand and she waited until Deidara's attention was on the sand behind him before launching it at the blonde bomber. The fire hit the bird in the leg and began to burn, it would have hit Deidara, but he noticed it at the last minute. "That isn't fair, two against one?" he said in a complaining tone. He opened his hands and threw several clay birds. They grew in size after they left the clay user's hands.

Yugito ran through several hand seals and blew several balls of fire at the birds. Half of the birds avoided the fireballs only to be consumed by the arms of sand that rose from the ground.

Deidara shook his head, as he watched this and was disappointed that he had to fight two shinobi instead of just the jinchuuriki of Suna. He continued to make bird bombs and have them taken out by the pair. This continued for about thirty minutes. The game of cat and mouse nearly took Deidara, in that he lost his arm to Gaara's sand. Yugito's fire also claimed his cloak. He sacrificed it to protect himself from a fireball.

"This ends…" Gaara declared. Suddenly Deidara noticed that he was going to be engulfed in a huge ball of sand.

Deidara created another bird and sacrificed the one he was riding to explode an exit out of the closing ball of sand. The owl he now rode was slower, but more maneuverable. He finally had setup his endgame and sent two fast dual winged birds down towards Gaara and Yugito. The birds flew right by Gaara and exploded. Deidara smiled at his victory, but it was short lived, when he noticed that both Gaara and the woman were protected by the sand casing. He smiled and said quietly, "While you're very strong Kazekage. You still lose. Boom."

Yugito sighed in relief when the sand had encased them both and protected them from the blast. She then noticed several white bugs crawling out of the sand and into the protective sphere. There was an explosion inside the sphere. Yugito fell unconscious, bleeding from the nose and ears. Gaara was looking on at the man who had disabled his ally and had hurt him. He then looked on in awe at the sight of a huge bomb ready to drop upon his village.

"You know art is a blast and you can either protect your village or yourself," Deidara explained.

Suddenly sand rushed up from the village towards the clay figure. It began to fall towards the ground. Everyone watched with bated breath, but then they all turned away at the blinding explosion. They looked up to see a huge area of the sky filled with sand that bowed in the middle. Gaara had diverted the explosion away from the village. The sand then moved towards the walls of the village and fell over the side.

Deidara looked closely at the woman and smiled broadly. "Sasori-sempai will be pleased," he said to himself. Gaara and Yugito finally fell from the sky only to be caught by Deidara and his bird.

The bird quickly flew towards the entrance of the village and landed next to his partner. "I told you not to be flashy and why did you bring the woman?" Sasori asked angrily.

"She is the Nibi container, we get a two for one deal, sempai," Deidara explained.

"Let's go, I hate to wait," Sasori said impatiently.

The pair left the village at a slow pace.


"Send a message to Konoha quickly and that we need their help," Baki yelled to one of the jounin.

The man quickly ran and got the message off to Konoha, while Kankuro recklessly headed after the Akatsuki pair.


Fuu woke in the arms of a sleeping Naruto and snuggled back into his warmth. This woke the blonde and after a gentle kiss to the neck they showered, dressed and headed to the kitchen without a word. After breakfast Fuu grabbed Naruto by the collar and turned him to face her. She kissed him deeply and said, "We need to take Hinata-chan out on a date soon, so that we can get to know her better."

Naruto blushed at the statement, which caused Fuu to have a wry grin cross her face.

"You liked what we did, didn't you?" she asked pointed. His face turned bright red and he looked down at the table without making eye contact. She gasped and then said, "Well there is more in store for you later, but you'll have to wait for it mister. We can't go and just start sleeping together and expect everyone to just accept it."

He looked at her in confusion and said, "But we already sleep together…"

Fuu blushed, but replied, "That isn't what I mean. I'm talking about us having sex, or better yet, making love on a regular basis." She raised her hand and continued, "That time was an accident, an enjoyable one, but an accident. We also didn't even finish it completely." She watched him look at her confused and she then said, "Naruto-kun, it will happen, just not today, but soon. I know you crave affection just as much as I do. So let's just be in the moment and see where it goes. Also, Hinata-chan has to figure into this at some time. She's cute and she likes you. We just have to work on her confidence around you."

He nodded, but then jumped when he felt himself being pulled into her chest in an embrace. He relaxed, since he knew this was hard for both of them. They needed each other, but were afraid of losing the closeness of the contact. "I love you Fuu-chan…" he said into her chest.

She lifted his face to hers and kissed him deeply. "And I love you Naruto-kun. Now let's go tease that teammate of ours," she said with a diabolical grin. He nodded at the suggestion. They cleaned up the table and left the apartment.


Sakura waited impatiently at the front gate of the Hokage tower. Naruto could tell that she was ready to blow her top, but asked, "Sakura, why did you wait when you just know that Kakashi-sensei will be late?"

She glared daggers at the blonde and replied, "Naruto, I've come to expect it from Kakashi-sensei, but ever since you came back with this bimbo, you've been late too."

Fuu glared at the pink haired girl and said angrily, "Look Pinkie. Why should Naruto-kun waste part of his day waiting for a perpetually late jounin?"

Sakura's anger suddenly abated and she thought for once that Naruto might have a good idea.

"Yo," Kakashi said, as he popped up from behind Sakura, which quickly found a dent in the wall and spider web cracks emanating from where his head used to be. He looked at his angry student and asked, "Where is all this anger coming from Sakura?"

"Now you notice the pent up anger and the lashing out?" Naruto asked in a dejected tone, while he and Fuu walked into the tower, leaving their teammates behind.

The pair quickly followed into the tower and up to the Hokage's office.

-------------

"So how do you think that he will like having a C-ranked protection duty mission?" Tsunade asked.

"He won't mind, so long as it isn't too boring," Naruto replied and got the attention of Tsunade and Shizune.

Both looked at the pair and noticed the maniacal grins on the both of them, but decided not to question it. "It might be boring, since it is dealing with the Fire Daimyo," Tsunade explained.

"So the guy who is sort of your boss?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Sort of…" Tsunade began to answer, but was interrupted by a chuunin entering the room quickly.

"Hokage-sama, urgent message from Suna," the chuunin explained, as he placed the scroll on her desk.

"Gaara…" Naruto said under his breath, but Fuu noticed and took his hand into hers. He turned and smiled warmly at the girl.

Sakura looked at the pair with annoyance. Kakashi smiled under his mask.

Tsunade's face turned from annoyance to fear and finally to anger. "Mission changed. The newly christened Team Kakashi along with Team Gai will be going to Suna to help rescue the Kazekage and a Kumo jounin," she explained, as she quickly wrote up a scroll and handed it to Kakashi.

"I'm guessing time is of the essence," Kakashi asked, only to receive a nod from Tsunade. He turned to his team and said, "Meet me at the gates in ten minutes, pack for a rough mission. That is all."

The three teen left the room quickly. Kakashi looked at Tsunade and asked, "You know that this is Akatsuki and you're still going to send us?"

Tsunade nodded, "Naruto is Gaara's friend and is more than likely the only hope we have of getting to him in time to keep them from killing him. Relations with Suna are very tight right now, so saving Gaara would be a boon for us."

"We'll do all we can," Kakashi exclaimed and then left the room.


Naruto and Fuu ran home as fast as possible. Naruto created a clone, wrote a note and handed it to the clone, only to have it intercepted by Fuu. She read the note, but then added something to the text and handed to the clone and said, "Go on, get the message to her."

The clone left quickly while the pair quickly gathered the needed supplies. Naruto then made second clone and sent it in another direction. Fuu gave him a confused glance, but Naruto just smiled and said, "Trust me." They left and were at the gates with only a couple minutes to spare. The clone arrived just as they did and handed Fuu a scroll and dispersed himself. Sakura was there soon after, followed by Kakashi.

"Gai's team will meet us in the field, so let's head off to Suna," Kakashi exclaimed. The four leapt into the trees and headed towards Suna at near full speed. Naruto and Fuu had to hold back some on speed to make sure that the team wasn't strung along.

------------------

Temari was drinking some tea at a roadside dango stand and the cup cracked. She thought, 'That is weird and a bad omen.' She then sensed several familiar chakra signatures, so quickly paid for her food. She then jumped into the trees and plotted an intercept course with the chakra signatures, since they appeared to also be headed to Suna.


Naruto looked over his shoulder and said, "Incoming, I think it's a friendly."

Kakashi nodded at the announcement and was surprised that Naruto could now sense other's chakra. He then reached out with his senses and felt a familiar chakra signature. Temari then burst into the formation near Kakashi. "Good of you to join us, Temari-san. We might need your help to get to Suna a little faster. Your brother Gaara is in trouble," he said with as much empathy as he could muster.

Temari's eyes widened and she began to speed off, but was slowed when Naruto placed his hand on her arm. He shook his head. "It will do us no good if we string ourselves along or wear out our members in an attempt to get there faster," Naruto explained.

Temari sighed and nodded, because she knew he was right. 'When did he grow a brain? And who is the girl?' she thought to herself as they continued through the forest towards the border.

---------------

The group was slowly walking though a sand storm behind a moving shelter of rock. Naruto showed signs of exhaustion, but they continued. The storm lasted for several hours, but the group was able to make it to Suna in record time. They were soon informed that Kankuro was in the hospital and needed immediate medical assistance, because he was poisoned.

Sakura impressed the local doctors, her team and a couple of elder by being able to identify and treat the heavy metal poison that afflicted Kankuro. The Suna elders that were watching had come out of retirement to watch this procedure, but one of them, Chiyo, decided to attack Kakashi because he looked like his father, Konoha's White Fang. The tension was quickly dissipated when her brother told her that Kakashi wasn't the 'White Fang', Kakashi's father, so she faked senility to get excused from getting into any trouble. Fuu just rolled her eyes at the whole affair. She was duly impressed with Sakura's medical skills and ability to direct other medical personnel.

After the anti-venom for the poison was made and delivered to Kankuro. He gave Kakashi a piece of Sasori's cloak to track Sasori by, the team with the addition of Chiyo headed after Gaara and Yugito. Temari was ordered with a couple other teams to patrol the border.

---------------

"You know we might not have enough time to do both Jinchuuriki?" Deidara asked.

"It will not matter, Itachi and Kisame give me thirty percent of your chakra to help run interference with the Konoha team," a man with concentric rings in his eyes said authoritatively.

Itachi just nodded in response and Kisame grinned at the request.

------------------

Naruto stopped suddenly, turned to the trees and said, "Come out I know that you're there."

Itachi walked out of the trees and into the clearing. "You've improved Naruto-kun, but you're too late," Itachi said without any feelings.

Itachi was suddenly pulled down into the ground, up to his neck. "Now tell us where Gaara is," Naruto said angrily.

"Why should I do that?" Itachi asked.

"Because he asked you nicely," Fuu said sarcastically, but was wearing an outfit that looked like it was from the Aburame clan. Gray full overcoat, with hood, sunglasses and all.

"Another prankster Kakashi? And an Aburame no less?" Itachi asked.

"Being around Naruto enough brings out the prankster in all of us," Kakashi said jokingly.

Naruto stepped back several steps and said, "Itachi, tell me now!" He formed a Rasengan and then pushed into thin air. Fuu ordered her insects on Naruto reverse some of the chakra flow in him. Naruto's technique lost cohesion and he then grabbed his head. "Enough! I know I promised you Sakura, but I can't force him to do what he doesn't want to do! He almost killed me when I tried to bring him back… I know… He… but… damn it! Will you get out of my head?!"

Itachi had pulled himself out of the ground and began to walk towards Naruto only to find Kakashi in his way. "You will give him over, Kakashi. He is under my genjutsu and there is no escape," Itachi explained.

"I won't let you have him," Kakashi said boldly.

"You are now in my genjutsu, Kakashi," Itachi said, only to be hit on the side by two Naruto using a Rasengan a meter in diameter. After the dust cleared Itachi smiled warmly and said, "You've grown strong, Naruto-kun." His body suddenly changed from being Itachi to someone else.

Naruto looked at the body and asked, "Who's that?"

"That is Yura, a man who was missing in Suna when we left," Chiyo replied.

------------

Itachi came out of his trance and said, "Leader, we may have a problem. The Kyuubi contain has beaten my clone."

"I thought you were good Itachi," Deidara exclaimed happily.

"He was able to beat me at a third of my strength, nothing more," Itachi explained.

"So did fishcakes there fail also?" Deidara asked angrily.

"He is not done yet with his fight with the other Konoha team," Itachi explained.

"They will be here in a few moments. They appear to have an Aburame, this doesn't bode well for the extraction of either of the two hosts," Zetsu said to the group.

Suddenly the walls began to shake. "Someone's knocking on the door. Are you going to answer it?" Kisame asked jokingly.

"It will take them a while to get through. We should be able to finish with the Ichibi and take the Nibi container while they recover his body," Pain said.


"Found all the markers Naruto-kun. Insects are assembling to destroy the tags. Just let me know when we are going to destroy all the tags," Fuu said the group.

Kakashi jumped up to the barrier tag and said, "Alright, Fuu, Sakura, I'm almost ready. Naruto you get Gaara?"

Naruto flowed out of the ground holding a female dressed in a jounin outfit and shook his head. "No, they are extracting now. We need to hurry or we will lose Gaara," he explained. He then created a clone and handed him the woman. The clone jumped off.

"Well you heard the man. Go!" Kakashi exclaimed, as he pulled off the seal. Elsewhere Fuu's insects destroyed the tags at the same time. "Manji entrance," he exclaimed when he jumped down beside Naruto on the right side of the stone blocked entrance. Sakura charged the rock, while Fuu and Chiyo took up the left side. Sakura pounded the rock and it began to disintegrate.

-----------------

"We need another twenty minutes to finish. Stop them Sasori and Deidara," Pain exclaimed, as the stone door collapsed.

A dozen shuriken hit the statue only explode a second later. The group of images began to fade, but also the statue began to shake and crack. "You fool defend the statue!" Pain ordered.

"He at least knows what art is," Deidara replied, as he put his hands in his pouches on his hips.

A dozen more shuriken turned into hundreds and Naruto shouted, "Shadow shuriken technique!" Those shuriken exploded on the statue continuing the cracks and stopping the blue sphere that surrounded Gaara. An eye on the statue exploded and red chakra darted directly towards Gaara. Naruto jumped and caught Gaara, turned and ran out of the cave.

"You've forced me to wait longer to accomplish our goals and I hate to wait," Sasori said in an annoyed tone.

Naruto was again standing next to Kakashi and stuck out his tongue. He then pulled out some kunai with tags on them and threw them at the ceiling of the cave and at the statue. He then exclaimed, "Shadow kunai technique!" The kunai increased in numbers from a dozen to thousands. Naruto turned to the others and said, "Let's get out of here… now."

The four left the cave just as the tags exploded and caused a serious cave in. Kakashi looked at Naruto with worry in his eyes. "I think you went a little overboard there Naruto," Kakashi explained, as he looked at the cloud of dust and smoke rising from the remains of the cave.

"Complain later, we have another problem," Naruto said, while he continued to look at the cave. He saw a very injured Deidara and a young man with red hair climbing out of the rubble.

"Yeah that would be a problem," Kakashi replied.

Naruto and Fuu shook their heads and he said, "No they are the least of our problems." No sooner did he say that then the ground exploded and both steam and red chakra began to coalesce into a giant animal shape. "That is what I'm talking about. They must have captured one of the Bijuu and stored it in that statue," he explained.

"I think we should begin a retreat and watch. Let them handle this one," Kakashi explained.

The five shinobi backed away from the area, as the mist began to have explosions inside of it. "Back you stupid beast!" Deidara exclaimed.

The beast finally coalesced into a shape, a giant horse like creature with a weird head and five tails. It raised its head and let out a moaning screech. It then turned to the two Akatsuki members and glared at them. A group of about a hundred figures appeared near the man with red hair, but were quickly brushed away with a swipe of the Bijuu's tail. And explosion knocked the beast's head to the side. It turned to the blonde bomber and blew a cloud at the man. He screamed at that point and then yelled, "I will get even with you. The group watched, as Deidara pulled a thread from over his heart and revealed a mouth. "I'm going to blow you up and everything for kilometers around, you stupid animal."

Naruto and Kakashi looked at each other and then grabbed an arm of at least one female and began to run at high speeds away from the area. Naruto had grabbed Fuu's hand, while Kakashi grabbed Chiyo and Sakura's hand. They got to what they figured would be a safe distance and Naruto built a rock wall with wood bracings inside of it. He nearly passed out when he completed the small shelter. Suddenly everything went silent and then there was a blinding flash, followed several seconds later by the sound of a huge explosion. Kakashi watched in awe, as trees were flying past the shelter and continued at great speeds, due to the wind and compression. He wondered why the shelter was holding up, but then looked at Naruto to see him roll his eyes into the back of his head and pass out. He also noticed Fuu sweating profusely from using her own chakra to sure up the shelter.

A few minutes after the storm died down Gai, his team and Pakun showed up. "Gai, I need you and your team to go check on the center of the explosion and make sure that Deidara, the mad bomber of Iwa and Sasori of the Red sands are both dead. Also watch out for the Gobi. It was released and may still be in the area," Kakashi explained.

The team left, but came back a few minutes later. "Kakashi, my rival. We found piece of puppets all over the place and this," Gai explained. He then presented Kakashi with a bleeding canister.

"That would be Sasori," Chiyo explained, but then Naruto sat up.

"For defeating me I will give the boy a gift. I am to meet my contact with Orochimaru in ten days at the Tenchi bridge…" Naruto explained in a voice that wasn't his own. He then fell back to the ground unconscious.

A couple of clones appeared next to the shelter. They appeared very pale, but were carrying a body each. "Take them…" a clone said, as they passed off Gaara and Yugito to Lee and Tenten respectively before disappearing in clouds of smoke.

Kakashi smiled warmly at Naruto and watched as Fuu curled up next to the boy and passed out herself. Sakura growled low at the sight, but didn't do anything to disturb the sleeping pair.

"They saved us all," Kakashi said. He then turned to Sakura and said, "Check out the Kazekage and the Kumo shinobi."

"Hai," Sakura replied. She then examined the two and several minutes later said, "Both are suffering from chakra exhaustion and concussions, Gaara more so than the Kumo shinobi. We should get them back to Suna as soon as possible." She then turned back to the sleeping pair and said, "Now for the pervert and his mistress."

She began to walk towards the pair only to be stopped by a wall of insects.

"Sakura, I would leave them for now. We need to get back to Suna, so that all of them can be treated," Kakashi explained.

-------------------

Naruto woke up feeling the warm wind blowing on his face. He opened his eyes to see a white robe and flowing brown hair. The movement notified Neji that Naruto was now at least conscious. "Sleep well?" Neji asked happily.

"So how did it turn out, Neji?" Naruto asked, but his voice also crackled with dryness.

"Rest my brother, you saved the day and rescued them, but I think you could have done so with less damage to the surrounding area," Neji said in a joking tone.

Kakashi laughed, since he saw the blush on Naruto's face. "So Naruto, do you have any explosive notes left?" he asked jokingly. Naruto could only nod as the group continued across the desert.

They soon came within sight of Suna with the sun at their backs. They saw the assembled crowd and heard the cheers as they approached. They finally arrived outside of the village and were greeted as heroes.

--------------

Naruto looked across the room at the red head who had been sleeping for several hours now. He chuckled at the discussion that was going on behind the curtain between the Kumo shinobi, who he now knew was named Nii Yugito, and Fuu. He leaned back against the wall, but then noticed a bug on his nose. It then flew off and the curtains were suddenly pulled aside. Fuu let out a squeal and jumped at Naruto. Naruto blushed at the closeness, but simply enjoyed it. His face turned bright red when Fuu lifted her gown to show that she wasn't wearing anything under her gown. "Want a quickie?" She asked slyly.

He then saw a blonde woman round the curtains slowly and sit on the bed with a smile on her face, also wearing a hospital gown. He was afraid that this woman would get angry at his and Fuu's interaction. She then bowed deeply at the two. "You have my greatest thanks for saving me Naruto-sama, and Fuu-chan," she said honestly. She then sat up and smirked and said, "If you want a quickie from me also as thanks, I wouldn't mind."

Naruto's mind went blank and he passed out. Fuu turned to Yugito, smiled and said, "You owe me five hundred Ryo."

Yugito smirked and stood up. "I don't have it on me right now, but will this do for now?" she asked and then pulled off her gown and revealed her toned, naked body.

Naruto woke up just in time to see Yugito pull off her gown and reached to the side and grabbed his camera. To his surprise Yugito posed for him. She then put her gown back on and said seductively, "You can keep those, but also give a copy of them to Kazekage-sama."

Naruto smiled warmly and nodded. His face was soon enveloped in a kiss, as Fuu then straddled him. The kiss became more passionate, until they heard someone clear their throats. Both turned and looked towards the entrance of the room to see Sakura angrily tapping her foot. They then turned when they heard Yugito and Gaara say in unison, "Hey why did you stop them? We were enjoying the scene."

Sakura jaw hit the floor, but soon her anger came back and she stomped towards the pair. "Naruto!" she angrily exclaimed.

Sakura stopped immediately when she heard a cold, but level voice. "You will stop Sakura-san," Gaara said.

Sakura chuckled nervously at Gaara, but then said, "Well… you see… Naruto is a baka and they shouldn't do things like that in a hospital."

"This is a Suna hospital and I think they should do whatever they feel like doing," Gaara said.

"But that isn't sanitary!" Sakura exclaimed.

"It is how babies are made," Yugito explained.

"But… but…" Sakura replied incoherently.

"I also think they make a good couple," Yugito said with a wry grin.

"But Hinata-san back home likes him and it would break her heart," Sakura tried to explain.

"A guy like that? I would share," Yugito said with a grin. She also noticed the blush on Naruto's face and the small smile on Gaara's face. She then continued, "I would even say that the Kazekage is handsome."

She then walked over to Gaara and kissed him squarely on the lips. Sakura turned pale and her jaw dropped yet again. While in she was in shock she missed the unsaid discussion between all those in hospital gowns. Gaara sat up and then Yugito straddled him. Both women began to grind against their respective males and began to moan. Tears formed in Sakura's eyes at what she was seeing. The women began to say 'Yes' in between the moans. The woman appeared to shudder and then collapse on their respective male. This all happened in a matter of a couple minutes. Sakura began to wobble and then fell backwards into the hallway.

Fuu grinned evilly at their little inside joke, but also was sweating and a little flustered. "Naruto-kun, we get home, we have some fun. I need a release, you got one from Hinata and I, so you owe me one," she said quietly into his ear.

He smiled warmly and replied back into her ear, "Believe it." He then kissed her passionately. She began to grind herself against him and moan into the kiss.

Yugito blushed at the blonde and green haired pair. She turned to Gaara and asked, "You think we could be like that?"

"I'm still a little new at this emotion thing. Naruto is my friend and guide, but if he can do it then so can I," Gaara exclaimed with a little emotion.

Yugito then kissed him, she pulled away and then said, "You have a little to learn, but if you're willing I can teach you."

"That would be nice, but let me get rid of a pest first," Gaara said, as he raised his hand and sand enveloped Sakura and carried her out the door and into the hallway. She smiled and they began kissing yet again.

Sakura woke up and found that she was covered in sand. She then heard sounds that shouldn't be coming from a hospital room and ran towards the doorway, only to run into a quickly forming wall of sand. She fell on her butt after hitting this makeshift door. Growing angry she cocked back her fist and hit the sand door. It exploded inwards. She walked into the room to find Naruto and Fuu in their gowns, in the same bed, groggily waking up. She turned to find Yugito and Gaara without her gowns, under the covers.

Gaara glared at Sakura and asked, "Are you trying to interrupt Suna international relations?"

Yugito smirked and said, "And he's trying to keep up the Suna end, but you keep on interrupting our intercourse."

Naruto smirked and pulled Fuu close. They both closed their eyes, but suddenly opened them when they heard Sakura scream. Naruto looked sternly at Sakura and said, "Sakura don't! Gaara is the Kazekage and should be allowed to deal with Kumo how he wants."

"But Naruto…" Sakura replied in a downtrodden tone. She then saw the smile on Fuu's face and ground her teeth. She then growled and said, "Naruto! I'm going to tell Tsunade-sama about this!"

Fuu stuck out her tongue and said, "Go ahead. Tell Hinata-chan too while you're at it."

Sakura was again floored by this green haired girl. "I… I… I will, bitch," she exclaimed.

"Sorry not in heat until next week and yes I checked," Fuu said teasingly.

Sakura, flustered, turned and left the room.

Naruto whispered into Fuu's ear when they heard grunts and moans coming from the other bed, "Guess things are going well for Gaara."

"If I wasn't going to be fertile in a few days I would say we do the same as them, but we can just snuggle," she said happily.

----------------

The two Konoha teams stood outside the walls of Suna with Yugito, Gaara and his siblings, with most of the village on the walls. "Well I'll see you, Gaara," Naruto said sadly.

Naruto felt his hand being pulled up to join with Gaara's extended hand. Gaara smiled warmly at Naruto and said, "I thank you, my friend."

He smiled, closed his eyes and shook Gaara's hand. He was suddenly enveloped in a hug and a strong kiss. He opened his eyes in surprise to see the face of Yugito pulling away from him. He looked at her questioningly, while she said, "That was for saving me and Gaara-kun. Also know that Kumo owes you Uzumaki Naruto for saving me the container of Nibi and I will repay you somehow." She then blushed and said, "But sex is out of the question. My new boyfriend wouldn't approve."

Fuu smiled and said, "He already has enough women to deal with right now and wouldn't want to interfere with the Kazekage's negotiations." Both girls giggled at the statement, but Sakura just glared at the girls. The teams waved goodbye and headed back to Konoha.


Omake:

Naruto woke to the sight of lime green hair in his face. He was enjoying the embrace and didn't want it to end. They had cuddled last night and didn't go any further. Both Naruto and Fuu wanted to enjoy the moment, since they would be joined by Hinata eventually, or at least that was the plan. Fuu's breathing changed and he smiled. "I can tell you're awake, Naruto-kun. Your breathing has changed," she explained.

He just nodded into the back of her head and enjoyed the sensation of his face running through her hair.

"You know that thing poking my back? I might think that you have something on your mind, Naruto-kun," she said seductively.

She turned to see him smiling warmly at her and he replied, "And if I do?"

She smirked at this and said, "Well we can't do anything about it right now. We have to go and get some missions. We also will have to talk to Hinata and discuss how this relationship is going and take her out on a date."

He just nodded and kissed her. He then hugged her and then rolled over, getting out of bed. A smirk crossed his face, he then dropped his boxer and said, "Race you to the shower."

Fuu began to laugh hysterically. She threw the sheets off of herself and dropped her panties. "If you really want to go through the same thing we did yesterday…" she said seductively. She was then off like a flash passing the blonde.

He walked to the bathroom to find her sitting on the floor waiting for him. "So get down here," she said enthusiastically.

(Lemon start)…

"But wouldn't the bed be more comfortable?" he asked.

She appeared to think for a minute, but then stood and pushed him against the wall and said, "This was your idea, so take responsibility."

He looked at her in confusion, until she wrapped a leg behind him. "You really want to go through with it?" he asked impatiently.

"If it is what you want to do, then yes," she replied strongly.

He turned his face to the side and wore a dejected look. "I… I don't know… If we do it, then wouldn't we be excluding Hinata from our plans? If that is what we actually want to do," he said sadly.

She turned his face back to hers and said, "Our relationship has been going on for more than six months and either Hinata will find a way to fit in or she will move on. I know you are interested in her, and from what I feel. You're almost 'in' to me." A grin crossed her face and she lightly jumped up on to Naruto. She kissed him passionately and slid down onto him. She gasped in pain and pleasure when he passed her hymen. She stopped kissing him and said, "Now, there is no going back, lover."

She began to grind against him and he responded, by pumping up into her. This continued for about fifteen minutes, before he released and she followed a few seconds after. He stood there with her against the wall his head resting on her chest, both covered in sweat.

"Now do you feel better, Naruto-kun?" she asked, while running her hands through his hair.

"But what about you getting pregnant?" he asked.

"Even with your guest, it will only be a problem in a few days," she explained.

(End Lemon)…

Fuu awoke to a familiar sensation between her legs. She felt it moving back and forth between her legs, but still in the space between the legs and not in her. She then heard Naruto talking in his sleep. "Oh Fuu-chan…" he exclaimed. She then felt a warm liquid in between her legs.

She grinned deviously and slid out from Naruto's embrace. She knew what had happed and while pleased in some ways, she was also kind of annoyed at her boyfriend. He had dreamt of them making love, but in actuality all he did was leave her unsatisfied and that wouldn't do. She stripped the covers and said quietly, "If you can have fun… than so can I…"

(Real lemon)…

She rolled him on to his back and saw him still standing at full mast. She slid down on him and felt herself wrap around him and butt up against her hymen. She bit her lip and pushed down gently. It didn't hurt like she had feared. She then began to slide herself up and down on him. Still unconscious, Naruto raised his hands to her hips and began to have her shift back and forth. She felt exhilaration at the feeling of him in her. Her rhythm increased and so did her feeling of fulfillment. She could no longer breathe regularly and it came in sputtered breaths. She then felt hands gently cup her breasts and move their way up to her shoulders. She looked down to see open blue eyes smiling warmly up at her. This burst the dam for her and felt spasms and tingling sensations go through out her body. She continued to move her hips, but her rhythm seemed off, but she didn't care, since she was in heaven.

Naruto had woken soon after she had mounted him, but couldn't believe that the first time was only a dream and now Fuu was actually being intimate with him in their bed. The sensation was even better than in the dream. He noticed her breathing and rhythm change, so he tried to redirect her attention back to him, but then found out that she was in the thralls of an orgasm and felt her clamp down upon him and at the same time drive him over the edge. They both felt his release.

She leaned down and kissed him passionately. She then laid her head down on his chest. "You know this is your fault, Naruto-kun?" she said in a teasing tone, while she rubbed his sweaty chest.

"My fault or not… it was great. I love you Fuu-chan, but where does this put us with Hinata-chan?" he asked worriedly.

She shifted her hips a little to get a little more comfortable, only to feel Naruto release again. She lifted her head and looked into his eyes and asked, "Not done yet? You want some more?"

She felt him harden again and gently thrust into her. She kissed him gently and said, "Guess that answers that question." She sat up and began to slowly rock back and forth on him. She then continued, "As for Hinata-chan… she can either accept what is going on or not. If she does then I want her to be with you, since I know both of us could use the added company. By the way, when are you going to teach me that… oh… shadow clone tech… oh… nique?"

"After team practice," Naruto explained. They continued to enjoy each other's company for another hour.

(End lemon)…

After the second love making session they both decided it was time to take a shower and get ready for the day.

A/N: I do have to apologize for the brevity of the fight for Gaara and Yugito, but I didn't want to redo cannon with just some more frills. First it was a bad match for both of them to go against Deidara. Also compression explosion in a confined space should have killed both of them, but being jinchuuriki they survived, but were hurt badly. Sure Yugito might know some lighting jutsu, but I didn't want to cover that possible aspect and I figured she would use her fire ability instead.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter. So have a happy, yuck, earth day. I'll instead try to enjoy my birthday.

Answer to your question on the box, no it wasn't condoms.
