Last Time
However, Sasuke and Naruto didn't get much sleep because they were making out in their tent. Of course….why didn't Sakura put them in a separate tent? I thought she was the smart one in the group!

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

The group of ninjas woke up early and immediately started packing the camping equipment. After 2 minutes of doing so, they once again started for the Sand Village.

"Okay, here's the mission objectives: we have to protect Gaara for 12 days. For the first 6 days, the village will be getting ready for the ceremony. As you should know, Gaara will be made Kazekage of the Sand Village," Sakura explained.

"Finally, he'll be getting the respect he's always wanted," Akuma added in happily. Sakura nodded, smiling.

"The Sand Village Council is afraid of enemy forces attacking during the ceremony. While we're there, we must focus on the protecting Gaara and the village. When we arrive, I'll explain the plans for the day of the ceremony," Sakura continued. The others nodded and increased the running and jumping. Within 15 minutes, the Sand Village came into view. They slowed down and greeted the gate-keeper.

"We're here for the ceremony and to protect Gaara along with the village," Sasuke told him firmly. The gate-keeper nodded and led them to the Kazekage building.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"You may enter," Gaara yelled out as a knock came to his office door. He looked up from his paper work to see Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke and a stranger walk in. 'She looks oddly familiar.' He stood up from his desk to greet his fellow protectors and friends. "Thanks for coming. I'm glad you're the ones to help me with the ceremony." He shook all of their hands and smiled. "And you might be…?" The stranger gulped and let her hand slip from Gaara's grip.

"It's only natural that you don't remember me. After all, it has been years and we've both grown. I should let you know that Sandy has been in great condition ever since you gave him to me. I would've brought him here but I didn't want him to get torn," the girl said. "It's really great to see you again, Gaara. I should let you know also that my village has been repaired. Unfortunately, it has caught fire again yet less serious and nobody hurt." Gaara's eyes widened as he realized who he was looking at. He turned to the others and they just smiled and nodded. "I'm just so glad to see you're not harmed. Why, not even a scratch!" He turned back to the girl still with the shocked expression on his face.

"It can't be…" he started in a disbelief tone. He gave an expression asking an unspoken question. The girl chuckled and closed her eyes. In the most soothing tone, she began to sing:

"I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me, I still feel your touch in my dreams. Forgive me my weakness but I don't know why, without you it's hard to survive." She opened her eyes to see Gaara staring at her dumbstruck. Tears came to her eyes as she kept smiling at him. "I really am glad to see you doing okay, Gaara."

Suddenly, Gaara stepped forward quickly and wrapped his arms around the girl's waist. At first she, and the others as well, were shocked by this action.

"Akuma…I really can't believe that it's you! You don't know how happy I am to see you! I'm glad to see you're not hurt," he pulled away far enough to look into her eyes. Tears of joy streamed down her face. "I'm just so glad to see you." He once again pulled her into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face into his chest, tears staining his clothes. And Gaara let a few stray tears fall, as he smiled and hugged Akuma tighter. "This time, I won't let you go away for so long." He heard sniffling coming a few feet away and pulled away to see Sakura crying and smiling as well.

"I'm sorry I'm so emotional; I'm just really happy for you guys. I can't believe you found each other after all this time. How long has it been?" she asked through tears. Gaara handed her a tissue from his desk. Then wrapped an arm around Akuma's waist.

"At least four and half years," Akuma answered. She wrapped both arms around Gaara's waist. "I can't wait to tell you all that's happened. And you have to give me details about your life as well, okay?" she directed her attention to Gaara.

"Later, but now you all must rest. Please, join me for dinner at a favorite restaurant of mine. It's the least I can do to repay you for accepting my request," Gaara gave them a sincere smile. "Oh yes! On the way to the restaurant, we can swing by your hotel so you can leave your bags there." They all nodded and left the room.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
On the Way to the Restaurant:

"Oh crap! I forgot something in the hotel! I'll meet you at the restaurant," Sasuke suddenly admitted. Sakura just threw him a questioning look.

"Ewww! Naruto, you should go take a shower! You stink really bad!" Sakura plugged her nose and backed away from him. He just cocked his head and she glared at him.

"I thought it had to be me! I'm sorry! Give me a few minutes and I'll be there as well," he quickly said. He rushed after Sasuke who had paused long enough to give him a seducing look. Naruto just turned back toward the road and blushed deeply.

"They're going to thank me for that. If it takes them a while to get there, don't worry, Naruto takes REALLY long showers and can't stand being somewhere new alone," Sakura explained. Gaara and Akuma just shrugged and they all kept walking.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Back at the Hotel Room
(here comes the good stuff!)

Sasuke walked in after Naruto and licked his lips when Naruto wasn't looking. Naruto turned around only to be pushed back on the bed and kissed passionately. He was shocked at first but decided to go with the flow. He wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck and pulled him closer. Sasuke let out an annoyed moan and rose much to Naruto's disappointment. The raven haired boy unzipped the orange jacket and tossed aside, pleased to see Naruto wearing a black muscle shirt.

"You look very yummy. How about I just skip the entrée and go right to desert?" Sasuke asked with seduction in voice. Naruto just gave a look of pure innocence.

"But Sasuke, you need to get a full meal don't you?' Naruto asked shyly and blushing even more, if that were possible.

"If you insist, my Naru."

Sasuke attacked said boy with a series of passionate kisses. Naruto just moaned in pleasure, gripping the raven's hair. Sasuke moved his tongue over Naruto's jaw and nape, licking very slowly, getting louder moans from the sun-haired boy. Just what he wanted to hear. He grinded his hips into Naruto's and once more annoyed by the clothing blocking pure pleasure. Luckily, Naruto's shoes had fallen off and it wasn't any problem pulling the pants slowly down his legs. In fact, Naruto lifted his lower half to help out. Said boy tugged on Sasuke's shirt and pulled it off. He admirably stared at Sasuke's abs, pale and well toned. Naruto couldn't help but stroke a hand across his lover's chest. This caused Sasuke to moan a little and lean down towards Naruto and they stared into each other's eyes. Sasuke ran a hand down Naruto's entire torso and went slower once he neared the thigh. Naruto had closed his eyes and pulled Sasuke closer; quietly asking for something and believe me, he didn't have to ask twice. Sasuke shoved his hand on Naruto's bulging boxers. This action caused him to buck his hips into Sasuke's hand. They made a steady rhythm and kept at it. Without Naruto noticing, Sasuke moved his hand to the rim of his lover's boxers. He looked up at Naruto for approval and received it.

Sasuke pulled the boxers down slowly then stopped when he felt a firm grip on his wrist and looked to Naruto's eyes. Said boy pointed to his shorts and Sasuke smiled. He slowly pulled them down, centimeter by centimeter. Naruto must of got agitated because he yanked them off very fast. His eyes widened at the huge bulge in Sasuke's boxers.
Then…YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT CHAPTER!
