Chapter 7: Gaara's First Crush?

"Well which is it? Did you or did you not make Kiyomi cry?" Temari asked but he stayed quiet

"Well?" Temari asked again

"…I did…"and Kazuki's eyes went wide while some was shock

"Why you little bastard!" Kazuki lifted him by the shirt

"Who said you could go and make my little sister cry?" Akira showed no fear

"But my brother-…Damn I seriously have no idea how to defend you…"

"And that is why I call you an idiot…"

"Kazuki calm down is not comple-…Okay you're the one who made me cry and yet when I try to defend you I see no reason why…"said Kiyomi

"There's no reason to defend him Kiyomi!" Kazuki almost shouted

"…Kiyomi…"

"Yes Gaara?"

"Did he really-…"

"Yeah but it's no biggie-…"Kiyomi stop mid sentence and said

"Never mind…"she said looking down

Akira suddenly felt a chill down his spine and looked at his right from the corner of his eye, nope nothing there. Then he looked at the back of Kazuki without him knowing, nope nothing. Then he looked at the left and found a red haired boy death glaring him…

"Damn what's with that guy? He's giving me the creeps!" Akira thought

"Okay Kazuki let Akira go…"said Shinju appearing in front of Kazuki and Akira

"Why should I le-…"

"I know he made Kiyomi cried and everything but-…"

"That doesn't mea-…"

"Kazuki…"

"But still-…"

"Just do it…"

"B-…"

"Bad idea to mess with me today after what I went through because of him!" Shinju almost shouted pointing at Akira

"Okay, okay…"Kazuki said as he slowly put Akira down still glaring at him

"Your game finished in nice timing…"said Akira as he dusted of his shirt even though there was no dust…

"You don't mess with me either!"

"Alright calm down…"he said putting his hands up in defense

"So who won?" Kankurou asked

"Humph…None of your business…"

"I'm guessing you lost." said Akito

"Oh shut it!"

"S-sorry…"

"Kiyomi why don't you and Gaara continue to take care of the baby tanuki, I'm pretty sure you guys were still doing it before all this happened." said Shinju

"Okay, c'mon Gaara." Kiyomi said as she dragged the red head back into the kitchen

"Well that's the first time I saw Gaara being dragged…"said Kankurou with a smirk

"Anyway…You guys have fun trying to beat Kai while I bring Akira and Akito upstairs. Tell Kiyomi that once she's done with Gaara." she said before walking up the stairs with Akira and Akito following behind her

In Shinju's room…

"So…Akito…"Shinju said as she closed that door

"What?"

"What are you going to do if Kiyomi falls for Gaara?" she said with a smirk

"W-w-what are y-you t-t-talking about!"

"You know what I'm talking about…"

"Err…err…"Akito looked at his brother for help but all Akira did was giving his brother the you-didn't-help-me-before-so-why-should-I-help-you-payback-HA kind of look

"Well?"

"Err…I seriously don't know what you're talking about…"he said avoiding eye contact

"Aw…C'mon you have a crush on Kiyomi, admit it." Shinju said, her smirk getting bigger

"N-no. Why would I have a crush on Kiyomi? I mean, yeah she's cute and all but still…"Akito said his face turning red

"So you admit she's cute?" her smirk got bigger

"Err…No…Okay well yes she's cute and err…Damn it! Please don't tell anyone!" he said, complete with a bow and Shinju started laughing

"Don't worry Akito." she said in between laughter

"So you won't tell anyone? Or blackmail me?"

"No and why would I blackmail you?"

"Cause Akira is already blackmailing with that…"

"A-…"Akira was cut off

"AKIRA! How could you blackmail your own brother?"

"Well I need to do my stuff and have not enough time in my hands so I ask Akito to help me out…"

"By blackmailing him!"

"Maybe…"

"Seriously why do you only show a little emotion around Shinju?" Akito asked

"Shut it Akito!" Shinju almost growled

"R-right sorry."

Meanwhile, downstairs at the living room…

"Don't you think Kiyomi and that brother of yours are taking up a lot of time in the kitchen?" Kazuki asked Kankurou

"Maybe he fell for your sister and is ma-…"Kankurou got cut off by Temari hitting him on the back of his head

"Don't think of such things like that Kankurou! Remember that they've only met 2 days ago!"

"It could be love at first sigh-…"

"OWW! Temari stop doing that!"

"If you shut up then there's maybe a chance for me to stop."

"Why you-…"

"What happened? I heard shouting and stuff! And I usually hear that when my mum is shouting at my dad or at Shikamaru when he doesn't wake up and I also hear that when I'm fighting with Kazuki!" Shinju asked as she walked down the stairs with Akira and Akito a few flights behind her

"Troublesome…

"Shut up Shinju!" Kazuki shouted

"I said too much huh? Well anyway what happened?"

"It's nothing Shinju…"said Shikamaru

"You sure?"

"Yeah…"

"Then let's go back guys." Shinju said as she slowly walked up (Akira and Akito are nearly at the top flight of the stairs)

"Oh right I forgot." Shinju said as she stopped walking

"What is it?" Sakura asked

"Kai."

"Yeah?"

"One thing."

"What is it?"

"Please don't spam any of mine, Kiyomi, Shikamaru and Kazuki's games with your highs scores." she said with an innocent smile (I'm not sure is spam could be use in this sentence…I think it can't…GAH! Whatever…)

"Why would you think that I would do that Shinju?" he asked while smiling innocently

"You did it like a million times before."

"*smile*You know me so well."

"Of course cause besides Chouji you're also my childhood friend."

"And I thank you for being one of my childhood friends."

"Okay can we stop with that? Its fun but I need to go back so tell me when you guys are gonna leave, kay?"

"See ya later Shinju!"

"Well Naruto's reply seems to tell me that they're gonna tell me when their about to leave…"she said as she continue to walk up slowly

Suddenly Shinju froze and her mind went blank. Her eyes started to close and she started to fall. The last thing that came out of her mind before it went blank was 'What's…happening…?'…

Akira's eyes went wide

Akito's eyes also went wide (because his friend is falling. Wouldn't you be shock too if your friend suddenly faints when he/she was halfway walking up the stairs and fall!)

Kiba gasped

Akamaru started to barked

Kai's eyes also went wide

"Shinju!" Shikamaru got up and straightly ran to the stairs hoping he could catch his sister on time (sorry if he's acting a little OOC there…)

Shikamaru caught his sister before she made contact with the hard floor but his left shoulder hit the wall and even though it wasn't a serious injury, it still hurt.

"Shikamaru!" said Chouji

"Shikamaru!" said Sakura and the gang (including Kai) ran towards their friend

"Shinju!" Akito said while he and his brother hurried down the stairs

"Shikamaru are both you and Shinju alright?" Kai asked

"Yeah we're fine…"Shikamaru said getting some of Shinju's hair off her face

"Let me check on her!" Sakura said, checking if Shinju got hurt in any way

"She's fine. She just passed out."

"Troublesome…I'll bring her back to her room."

"Good idea." said Kiba

"She needs rest…"said Sakura

"*sigh* Alright…"said Shikamaru

"Hey! We're all worried about you and your sister so can't you be a little grateful you lazy ass!"

"I know that and I didn't say anything offens-…"Shikamaru was cut off

BUMP!

"What was that?" Naruto asked

At the same time, outside…

"I can't believe that Shikamaru didn't invite me!" said a certain blonde pig

"Ino he didn't invite us too…"said Tayuya

"I can't believe he invited that Temari girl!" Ino said

"I think she's ignoring us." Kin said

"Yeah, thought she'll go see Sasuke's practice fight with Neji."

"Same here but Shikamaru's house is the closest."

"True…We love Shikamaru but we just can't do anything when Ino is in this state…"

"So true…"

"Hey isn't that Shikamaru's little sister?"

"Yeah, I guess she heard all the noise."

"Damn that little bitch! I'm gonna get my revenge on everything she did to me!" said Ino

"Ino will never learn to back down…"said Kin

"Agree."

"I don't think Shikamaru will date a girl who hates his sister so much."

"Yeah."

"YES! THAT BITCH IS FALLING!" Ino shouted

"What! Oh shit she's right!" said Tayuya

"Wonder what happened!" said Kin

They saw how Shikamaru caught Shinju…

"Oh my god! Shikamaru was so cool!" thought Tayuya

"Shikamaru was so awesome!" thought Kin

"Aww…I wanted to see her fall and get a concussion!" okay you can guess who said that

"Ino! She could have-…"Kin was cut off

"I don't care! I just want her to get a concussion and my revenge will-…"

BUMP!

Ino actually hit the wall when she actually wanted to point at Shinju causing the 'bump' sound…

"What was that?" all three of them could hear Naruto asking his friends that

Back with the gang…

"Is sounded like it came from outside." said Kiba and Akamaru barked

"It must be Ino…"said Sakura

"Ino?" Kankurou said, confused

"Ino usually follows Sasuke or Shikamaru home but she does it when no one expects that she'll do it." Sakura explained

"So she's a stalker?" Temari asked and Akamaru barked

"That answers it." said Temari

"But why didn't she follow-…"Kankurou was interrupted

"Stalk." Naruto said

"Okay, why didn't she stalk Sasuke instead?" Kankurou said

"Yeah, I thought she'll follow-…"Temari was cut off

"Stalk." said Sakura

"I thought she'll stalk him since he's having a practice fight with Neji."

"Probably cause Shikamaru's house is the nearest." said Kiba

"What are we gonna do?" Kai asked

"If we all move now they might run away." said Sakura

"They…?" Akira finally spoke

"If Ino is coming to Shikamaru's house then is obvious that Kin and Tayuya came with her." said Temari

"If one of us go they'll probably hide." said Chouji

"What if Akamaru go?" Naruto said

"Huh?" the other said (excluding Shikamaru, Temari, Akira and Akito)

"They know that we know they're there and they suspect all or one of us to check. If we do nothing and act like nothing happen and say 'it must have been a squirrel or something' and they might think they're safe." said Naruto

"I get it! Then Akamaru could go through the back and sneak up on them!" said Kiba

"Exactly!" Naruto said

"Naruto…"

"Yes Sakura?"

"That's the first time you used your brain and come out with an idea and an understandable explanation…"

"Come to think of it…"Chouji said with his mouth full

"Your right…"said Kiba

"But it's a good idea." said Shikamaru

"Then let's start." said Temari

"Naruto you go check!" Sakura said loud enough so Ino and her friends could hear

"Nah, probably was just a squirrel." said Naruto

"Just check it, will ya!" said Temari

"You know what to do Akamaru…"Kiba said loud enough for only Akamaru to hear and Akamaru barked softly

Back outside…

"Should've known…Naruto would be dumb enough to think it was a squirrel…"Ino said

"But why do I feel like it's just a plan…"said Tayuya

"Yeah me too…"

"Hey Kin." Tayuya whispered

"What?"

"Let's go to your house and watch those videos."

"You mean the one with Shikamaru-…"

"Yes and looks like we have a new video to watch too."

"You actually brought it?"

"Yup and I took the whole thing when he saved his sister."

"The only time when we can talk about Shikamaru together is when Ino is not in this state-…"Kin was cut off

"…Or talking about Sasuke." Tayuya finished for her

"And when she's in this state…"

"We can talk about Shikamaru ourselves…"

"Ino is our friend but…"

"She's gonna kill us if she finds out about the videos…"

"Let's go now." said Kin

"Yeah. Hey Ino, me and Kin gotta go back."

"Yeah, see ya tomorrow." they said before quietly walking away from the house

"Alright but I'm not gonna tell you about anything that's gonna happen!"

"Fine, see ya." said Tayuya and they were both out of sight

"Now where was I…Oh yes, back to watch-…AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" damn Ino's high pitch voice was bad enough but now she screamed!

"Good job Akamaru!" Kiba said as he opened the window

"Woof, woof!" and Kiba jumped out of the window

"What's up you pig!" Sakura said with a smirk when she jumped out of the window after Kiba

"You guys plan this!" Ino almost shouted

"So what if we did?" said Sakura

"I bet that this was your idea!" Ino said to Sakura

"Nope. Surprisingly it was Naruto's idea." Sakura said

"Naruto's?" Ino had a puzzled look

"Yeah! It was my idea!" Naruto said as he jumped out of the window after Temari

"You're kidding me right? You actually think I'll fall for that?"

"No cause your stupid." said Temari

"Well aren't you a bitch!" said Ino

"What? That I could go to your 'beloved' Shikamaru's house and you can't?" Shikamaru almost choked

"Since that little bitch is unconscious you can't do anything to me besides telling me to get out huh?"

"What does she mean by that?" Temari asked

"Shinju fought Ino about 20 times and won." said Sakura

"Seriously? You've got beaten by a girl who is younger than you by a few years! Are you really that pathetic?" Temari said

"Shut up! Like you'll know! You haven't fought me once yet so I guess that tough image of yours is just to cover up that you're weak and fragile!"

"What did you say you bitch!" Temari almost shouted

"That girl's gonna die…"thought Kankurou

"Humph…Keeping up the image I see." Ino said with a smirk (Ino have no idea what she gotten herself into! She's gonna get killed by Temari…*smirk* How nice would that be if she didn't existed! I'm kidding, I'm kidding…Ino is not gonna die even though I hate her so much…No offence Ino fans…Hey that rhymed!)

"Your dead you know that!" Temari said as she picked Ino up by her shirt (Akamaru was already off of Ino as soon as Temari got a hold of Ino's shirt)

"It'll be so nice to see a middle school girl beat up a high school one! Since I can't stand you, your damn obsessions about Sasuke and Shikamaru and your damn hatred towards Shinju, I'll make you a deal."

"You will stop following Shikamaru and let me be with him forever?" Ino said hopefully

"No! You get out of here now or you'll be stuck in the hospital for a month. Your choice." Ino thought about it for a minute

"Fine, I'll leave but you'll regret this." Ino said

Temari let her go, Ino dusted herself off, said 'goodbye' to Shikamaru and walked away. (FINALLY!) The gang then walks back into the house (through the door)…

"Well that's done." Temari said before closing the door

"Yeah." said Sakura as she closed the window

"Shikamaru can you stand up?" Kai asked

"Yeah but-…"Shikamaru started coughing

"Yo Shikamaru are you okay?" Kai asked worriedly

"*cough* Yeah…*cough*"

"Don't tell me he's-…!" Temari straightly walked to Shikamaru

"Let me see your hand!"

"I'm…*cough*…fine…"Shikamaru stopped coughing and began to breathe normally again but he covered his hand

"Damn it Shikamaru, let me see your hand!"

"Is nothing."

"Don't lie you lazy ass and let me see!" she said before looking at his hand. The guys (including Akira and Akito) eyes went wide while Sakura (being the only girl there besides Temari and Shinju who is still unconscious) gasped.

"I knew it…"Temari said as she closed her eyes

"Kai!" she said facing Kai

"Y-yes?"

"Take Shinju to her room and let her rest now!"

"Okay." he said as he walked to Shikamaru (who was still holding Shinju) and once he was there, he carried Shinju and brought her up to her room

"Why does Kai have to bring her up to her room?" Kiba thought

"…Damn it…"thought Akira

"In case you're wondering why I asked Kai to bring Shinju to her room Kiba was because that they are old friends and you have no idea where Shinju's room is."

"W-w-who said I was wondering…"Kiba said turning away, trying so hard to hid his blush

"I see I'm not the only one who has a crush on Shinju…"Akira thought

"Shikamaru you are coming with me! You guys continue with the game, Sakura help Kai! He probably left Shinju's door open so it'll be easy to find!" and with that she left for upstairs with Shikamaru and Sakura behind her

Like Temari said, it was easy to find Shinju's room since the door was open. Sakura knocked on the door and saw that Kai just put Shinju on her bed…

"Ah, Sakura! Why are you here? I was just about to go back down."

"Temari told me to help you." Sakura said before walking towards Shinju and checking on her condition…again

"It still doesn't seem like she's injured but I think she's getting a fever." Sakura said as she placed her hand on Shinju's forehead

"Yup she's getting a fever. Kai can you go down to the kitchen and get some-…"

"Alright, I'm on it." he said before walking out of the room and down the stairs

At the same time, with Temari and Shikamaru…

"What is wrong with you?"

"I have know idea what your talking about you troublesome woman." he said as he sat down on his bed

"You know what I'm talking about!"

"If you're talking about me coughing out blood just now then it's nothing. I'm fine."

"How can you be fine! You are coughing out blood!"

"It's nothing."

"Is it because you coughed out blood yesterday night too!"

"Correct." Shikamaru said simply

"Listen here you lazy ass! It's my fault that you got all those injuries! It's my fault that you got punch! It is also my fault that you're coughing out blood! So why aren't you angry at me or something and just say that 'it's nothing' or 'I'm fine' when you're currently not fine and that it is a something!"

Back down stairs…

"My sister and your brother are in the kitchen so long and that they've never heard a thing! Shinju passing out and Shikamaru coughing out blood! What the hell is happening?" Kazuki almost shouted

They weren't playing the game cause they were so worried. They were just talking. Akira is sitting on an armchair while reading a book(he had an expressionless face on but in mind he's actually really worried, Akira: Shut up!, eh so mean…),Akito sitting on one of the armrest of the armchair that Akira was sitting on(Akito had a worried look on), Kazuki and Kankurou were on the couch talking about Kiyomi and Gaara, Chouji was…well…eating as usual but still worried, Naruto was also worried that he walked around the room several times but stopped cause Sakura shouted 'NARUTO IF YOU DON'T STOP IT RIGHT NOW THEN WHEN I GET DOWN YOUR FACE WILL BE STUCK ON THE FLOOR!' and Kiba was sitting on the floor, putting his hand on Akamaru's head and kinda spacing out…

"Like I said, maybe their making out…"

"They've only met two days ago! Why are you sick minded!"

"I'm not but that's the first time I saw Gaara being dragged and especially by a girl!"

"It could have caught him off guard!"

"I doubt that! Gaara's always on guard!"

"Then-…"Kazuki was cut off

"HEY!" everybody faced the direction where the voice was coming from and found Kiyomi in front of the kitchen, carrying a sleeping baby tanuki and Gaara behind her

"IS IT TRUE THA-…"Gaara cut her off by covering her mouth with his hand and she faced him while giving him the what-the-hell look

"Pablo is still sleeping…"Gaara whispered to Kiyomi

Kiyomi's eyes went wide and looked down. She sighed with relieve when she saw that Pablo was still sleeping…

"Oh…Sommy…"Gaara raised his eyebrowless eyebrow (lol! eyebrowless eyebrow!*laugh*, Gaara: =.=, *laugh nervously* Sorry Gaara…) and then realized that his hand was still covering her mouth

"Sorry…"he said as he uncovered her mouth and looked away

"Is okay and I said sorry." Kiyomi said with a smile and Gaara just nodded

"Are you finally getting your first crush Gaara?" Kankurou said with a sly smirk

"Why is that guy covering Kiyomi's mouth with his hand?" Akito thought (I guess he wasn't paying any attention to the baby tanuki who was sleeping soundly)

"Is it true that Shinju passed out!" Kiyomi asked worried

"How did you know?" Kazuki asked

"Kai came to the kitchen and got some ice…"

Flashback

"Kai what are you doing here?" Kiyomi asked as she saw Kai walked in the kitchen

"I need to get some ice for Shinju." he said as he walked towards the fridge

"Why? What happened?"

"She passed out. Damn!" Kai hit his head with his palm and Kiyomi's eyes went wide

"Damn I shouldn't have said that!" Kai thought

"WH-…"Gaara covered Kiyomi's mouth

"Kiyomi…"Gaara said before uncovering her mouth

"Oh right, sorry Gaara. What!"

"Err…I gotta go, see ya!" and Kai ran off with the ice

End of flashback

"One question Kiyomi."

"Ah! Yes Naruto?"

"How could you not hear all the shouting and stuff when Shinju fainted and everything?"

"Oh well I was still treating Pablo-…"Kiyomi was cut off

"Pablo?" Naruto, Kazuki, Kankurou, Chouji, Akira, Akito and Kiba (he finally came back to earth! Kiba: will you-…, alright, alright…I'll be quiet)

"Ah that's right! This little baby tanuki is named Pablo!" she said with a smile

"Pablo?" Naruto was still confuse

"Kiyomi don't you think 'Pablo' is a weird name for a tanuki?" Kazuki asked

"Really? Gaara said it was alright naming it Pablo!" and now all eyes were on Gaara

"Gaara? Did you really?" Kankurou asked

"…"was his reply

"He did so what's the big deal? He even helped me treat Pablo." and again all eyes were on him

"He helped you to treat that tanuki?" Kankurou asked

"Yup. He even-…"Gaara cut her off once again by covering her mouth

"Kiyomi…I think you should stop telling them all those stuff…Especially when my brother's around…"he whispered to her

"Mhy?" Gaara uncovered her mouth

"Why?" she repeated her earlier question

"…"Kiyomi, understanding why smiled and said

"Okay."

"Temari is not the only one that I have plans now…"thought Kankurou

An hour later…

"HELLO PEO-…*nod* Sorry Gaara (you can probably guess what Gaara did)… Hello people of the world! Me and Gaara are back with Pablo who is still sleeping soundly." Kiyomi said carrying the box that Pablo was sleeping in (Kiyomi calmed down about Shinju fainting when she heard the whole story)

"Hey Kiyomi can I see Pablo?" Akito asked

"Sure! Look!"

"Aww…It's so cute."

"Hey guys!" everybody turned to the direction of the stairs and found Sakura standing there

"Shikamaru is going to be alright and Shinju is regaining consciousness! You guys can come up and see both of them now! Shikamaru, Kai and Temari are in Shinju's room!" Sakura said and the gang hurried up (including Kiyomi)

At the same time, in Shinju's room…

"*knock**knock*"

"Ah Temari! Shikamaru, how are you feeling?" Sakura asked

"Better after all the trouble this troublesome woman did."

"Hey!"

"Kidding…"he said

"How's Shinju?"

"Sakura said that she has a little fever." said Kai

"Yeah but she'll be alright…"said Sakura

"*groan*…"Kai's eyes went wide

"Shinju! Are you awake?" Kai asked

"*blink**blink* Kai? Sakura? Shikamaru? Temari? What are all of you guys doing here? Where am I?"

"You're in your room." said Temari

"What happened?"

"You fainted while you were halfway walking up the stairs." said Shikamaru and Shinju's eyes went wide

"What!" she said as she straightly got into sitting position which cause the small cold towel to dropped from her forehead and land on her lap

She looked down at her lap, pick up the small cold towel, hold it up and said…

"What the hell is this?"

"You have a slight fever-…"Sakura was cut off

"What! I fainted and have a slight fever! Next your gonna tell me that I'm gonna have a concussion cause I fainted when I was halfway walking up the stairs!"

"You won't have a concussion?" Kai said

"Huh? *blink**blink* I won't?" she asked tilting her head slightly to the side

"Nope, surprisingly your lazy ass of a brother saved you from getting a concussion." said Temari

"Eh? Seriously? Sorry Shikamaru, it was probably troublesome huh?"

"It's fine. As long as your alright then is okay." Shikamaru said and Shinju smiled

"Arigatoo gozaimasu Shikamaru!"

"I'll go tell the others to come up." said Sakura

Few minutes later…

"SHI-…*sigh**nod* Gomen ne Gaara. I must be troubling you huh?" this time Gaara is carrying the box but he manage to carry the box with one hand and covered Kiyomi's mouth with the other

"It's fine but you should stop shouting when Pablo is asleep…"

"*laughs nervously* Hai! Gomen ne…"

"That's the first time in a long time I've heard you say a long sentence Gaara. Maybe Kankurou was right…Maybe you are starting to fall for Kiyomi…What the heck am I thinking! They've only met two days ago but still…"thought Temari

"Well Temari? What do you think our little brother's feelings are now?" Kankurou thought with a sly grin

"Why does that guy keep covering Kiyomi's mouth when she's shouting just because Pablo is asleep?"

"Jealous Akito?" Akira said with a smirk

"Shut up!" he said to his brother

"Shinju! Are you okay? Are you feeling alright?" Kiyomi asked

"How are you feeling Shinju?" Chouji asked

"Better but why is it cold here?"

"Is your fever. You should rest more." Sakura said

"Having a fever but feel cold? How can that be?" Naruto asked

"Is normal for some fevers…"Sakura said (well I think…I can't remember XD)

"You should rest." said Kiba

"Woof!"

"But-…"

"Shinju, you should rest." Akito said

"But me and Kiyomi invited you guys! No way am I gonna rest now! And we didn't even-…"Shinju got cut off by someone's phone ringing

"Hello? Now? Why? What happened? We're on our way…Alright…Bye."

"What is it Akira?" Akito asked his brother

"Mum called. She said we have to go home now."

"I'm sorry you guys. I'll make it up to you tomorrow."

"Is alright Shinju. The first few minutes was fun. We'll see you tomorrow." said Akito

"Yeah so rest and get well soon…" said Akira

"Troublesome…C'mon I'll follow you guys to the door." said Shikamaru

"Kazuki, can you change-…"Sakura got cut off

"Sure." Kazuki said as he took the small not so cold towel and walked down the stairs and Shikamaru came up

"You still feeling cold?" Kiba asked

"Yeah a little…I'll eventually get better."

"This must have happen cause of your earlier fall…"

"Yeah." said Kai

"I guess it's my fault for not letting you help me before. Sorry Kai."

"Is okay, don't worry about it. But next time when I offer to help-…"

"*sigh*I know, I know…"

"Yo Shikamaru." Kankurou whispered

"What is it now Kankurou?"

"Do you think is okay for me and my siblings to stay over?"

"Troublesome…Why?"

"I think your cousin wouldn't mind and your sister might think is 'troublesome' too but hey is not like everybody is going to stay over."

"After tomorrow is the party. You actually want to stay over today of all days?"

"C'mon just for one day. Is better than having all of us staying over right?"

"Your brother asked if you guys could come over and now your asking if you could stay for a night. *sigh* Wait a sec."

At the same time, Shinju was talking with Temari… (Kankurou was talking to Shikamaru, Kiba, Akamaru, Kai and Kazuki (he came back when Kankurou started talking to Shikamaru) were looking at the sleeping Pablo while Chouji was…well…eating)

"So you feeling better?"

"Yeah, sorry for troubling you guys or anything."

"Is no problem. Your brother had a problem too so it was no biggie."

"What happen to Shikamaru?"

"He hurt himself yesterday and he didn't treat his wounds. But he did today but it still hurts so when he caught you at hurt a little bit more." and Shinju's eyes went wide

"So it was-…"

"No, it was not your fault that his injuries hurt more now. You passed out and he saved you. As long as you don't have a concussion then everything is fine."

"…Okay…Thanks Temari."

"Oh and guess what else happen." Temari said with a smile

"Ino came to visit."

"What!"

"I gave her two choices."

"And what would that be?"

"She can either get out at that very second or be in the hospital for a month." Temari said, a smile still on her face and Shinju let out a soft laugh

"She picked the first one right?" Shinju asked

"*nod*"

"I wished she picked the second one."

"I heard you fought Ino about 20 times."

"Yeah what about it?"

"And you won every time?"

"Yup! She is quite weak for a high school girl. I think because she's on a diet."

"Isn't Sakura on a diet too?"

"Yeah but Sakura eats some meat at least once a week."

"I see." Temari said before smiling and just at that time Shikamaru came

"What's up Shikamaru?" Shinju asked

"Kankurou asked if he, Temari and Gaara could stay for a night." Temari's eyes went wide and straightly looked at her brother giving him the what-the-hell-Kankurou look and Kankurou just shrug

"Sure why not. But wouldn't your parents be worried?" Shinju asked

"Nah we live alone." and Shinju's eyes went wide(while Shikamaru was shock)

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Temari!"

"It's cool. So what do you say?" Temari asked but in her mind she was thinking

"Kankurou, you have a lot of explaining to do…"

"It's alright but-…"Shinju was cut off

"We only have one guest room and in there is a single bed." Shikamaru said

"Is fine. One of us can sleep there and the other two can sleep in the living room. If you don't mind."

"We don't but wouldn't you guys like…Argue on who would sleep in the guest room?"

"Nah…Only me and Temari would argue." Kankurou said(he just wanted to jump in into the conversation)

"What about Gaara?" Shikamaru asked

"He's fine as long as he gets a place to sleep." said Kankurou

"If that's the case then it's fine." said Shinju

"Troublesome…What do you think mum will say when she comes back home from the center?"

"Good point…We'll see once she gets back."

"What about your dad?" Temari asked

"Our dad? Well…Let's just say that's he's a little like Shikamaru." Shinju said before laughing nervously

"Troublesome…"

Few hours later…

"See you tomorrow Shikamaru!" said Naruto

"Thank for having us over!" said Sakura

"Make sure you refill my usual snack place!" you can probably guess who said that

"Later!" Kiba said before taking off with Akamaru

"See ya!" Kai said

"We'll be back in half an hour!" said Temari

"Don't do anything inap-…"

"Kankurou!"

"Nevermind."

"Hey Gaara, don't you think it's awesome that you, Temari and Kankurou are staying over for the night!" Kiyomi asked(this time she's holding the box…Pablo is still sleeping…How long has that tanuki been sleeping?)

"…Yeah…"

With Temari and Kankurou…

"Alright now tell me what's the reason for you asking us to stay over?"

"No reason…"and he got hit by the head

"OW! I just wanna see if our little brother will be happy if he stays over at his crush's house…OW!"

"Tell me the real reason!"

"That is my real reason!"

"They've only met two days ago!"

"You've seen how Gaara's been acting! You even thought that I was right when you heard Gaara's second longest sentence today for a long time!"

"Yeah but still-…W-wait! Second longest sentence?"

"Oh yeah you weren't there cause you were busy taking care of your boyfrie-…OW! Ow, ow, ow…Temari that hurt!"

"You deserve it now what do you mean my second longest sentence?"

"I'm not sure cause he was whispering to her and I couldn't hear but it seemed to be long."

"*sigh* Whatever let's just hurry up before it gets dark."

Fifteen minutes later…

"*knock**knock*"

"I'LL GET IT!" Kiyomi shouted before opening the door

"Yo…"said Kankurou

"Hi, hi! Finally you guys are ba-…"

"KAZUKI!" and Kiyomi sweat dropped

"Ah, ah…Kazuki's acting like an idiot again…Anyway come in."

"Thanks, was my brother any trouble?" Temari asked

"Nope! He helped me quite a lot with Pablo." Kiyomi said as she closed the door

"Pablo?" Temari had a puzzled look on her face

"She's named the baby tanuki Pablo…"Kankurou said

"Ah I see…"Temari said, sweat dropped

"KAZUKI GET BACK HERE!"

"What's with all the noise?" Kankurou asked

"Err…Shinju's parents just called and said that their gonna be back late."

"Did you guys tell them we're staying over?" Temari asked

"Yeah and Shinju's mum didn't mind but…"

"But what?" Kankurou asked

"When Kazuki heard that they we're gonna be late and remembered that Shinju was sick and needed to rest-…"

"DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU CAN HIDE FROM ME YOU TEME!" Kiyomi sweat dropped…again

"…Well, let's just say he took a chance to throw a party…*more shouting can be heard**sweat drop grew bigger* Okay, let me rephrase that. Let's just say he took a risk to throw a party…"

"That means Shinju is feeling better right?" Temari asked

"Yeah." Kiyomi said with a smile

"*scream*" and Kiyomi sweat dropped…again

"SHINJU LET GO OFF ME!"

"ONCE YOU STOP DOING THAT! THIS IS THE THIRD TIME YOU WERE PLANNING TO-…"Shinju started to lose her grip

"Err…Shinju are you okay?" Kazuki asked

"Y-yeah…Just…dizzy…"

"Oh shit! SHIKAMARU!"

"What a drag…What is it?" Shikamaru asked as he walked down the stairs

"Shinju's getting dizzy!"

"What! Let me check.*places hand on Shinju's forehead* Her fever's gone higher."

"I'll go get her medicine!" Kiyomi said before rushing into the kitchen

"Here." Kiyomi said handing Shinju's medicine and a glass of water to Shikamaru

"Shinju, do you think you'll have enough energy to take this?"

"Duh, I'm dizzy and tired not half dead…"she said before taking the medicine

"Shikamaru…"

"Yeah?"

"Let me carry her to her room this time. It's my fault that she got dizzy."

"Fine…"and Kazuki went off with Shinju

"Does that always happen?" Kankurou asked

"Nope! Only when Shinju's parents are coming home late and then Kazuki will try and throw a party." said Kiyomi and Kankurou and Temari sweat dropped

"Hey Gaara how's Pablo?"

"Still sleeping…"

"How long has that tanuki been sleeping?" Kankurou asked

"Few hours." said Kiyomi

"Isn't that not normal?" Temari asked

"To some baby animals." said Shikamaru

"And Pablo was injured so it's natural." said Kiyomi

"So have you guys already picked where to sleep?" Kazuki said coming down the stairs

"I'm sleeping in the guest room while my brothers are sleeping in the living room."

"I call the couch!" Kankurou said as he plop himself onto the couch

"Gaara are you okay with sleeping on the armchair?" Shikamaru asked

"I'm okay with it…"suddenly Gaara heard a squeak and looked at Pablo(I'm not sure how tanuki sounds like so yeah…don't judge me!)

"What is it Gaara?" Kiyomi asked

"I think Pablo is awake…"and Kiyomi's eyes went wide

"REALLY! LET ME SEE!" Kiyomi said as she rushed to Gaara and looked at Pablo

"PABLO! YOUR FINALLY AWAKE!" Kiyomi shouted as she carried the little tanuki out from the box. The tanuki keep moving one of its paw like showing the sign 'come closer' and Kiyomi's face went closer to Pablo's. Suddenly Pablo licked Kiyomi's nose

"Oh my god! Gaara did you see that! Pablo licked me!" Kiyomi said with excitement and Gaara just nodded

"Here Gaara, hold Pablo while me and Shikamaru go get it's food." Kiyomi said before handing Pablo to Gaara and rushing into the kitchen with Shikamaru behind her

"Shikamaru…Where's the food?" Kiyomi said so loud that you can hear it in the kitchen

"You haven't made it yet. *sigh* Let me help…"

Few minutes later…

"Here you go Pablo!" Kiyomi said as she fed the baby tanuki while Gaara was still holding it

"How did you know how to make tanuki food?" Temari asked Shikamaru

"Tell you about it tomorrow…"he said before going up the stairs

"C'mon I'll show you the guest room." and with that Temari nodded and followed Shikamaru

After eating dinner that Temari had to cook since Shikamaru and Shinju's parents are gonna be late, they continue to talk til 10 something and then went to sleep. In Shinju's room…

"Better not wake Shinju up…"Kiyomi thought before the door made a 'creak' sound

"Kiyomi is that you?"

"Sorry, did I wake you up Shinju?"

"A little but its okay."

"Sorry…"

"It's okay. How's everything? Did you guys eat dinner?"

"Yup!"

"Who cooked?"

"Temari!"

"I see…What did you named the tanuki?"

"Pablo." Kiyomi said as she covered her self with the blanket

"Pablo?"

"Yup. Gaara said it was alright too!"

"Wait! Gaara agreed on naming it Pablo?"

"Yup!"

"Why do I feel like in the future…Kiyomi and Gaara will…I can't just think! It might happen, it might not happen. We'll see in the future." Shinju thought

"Okay well I better get some rest."

"Kay, Oyasumi Shinju."

"Oyasumi Kiyomi."

Somewhere at around midnight…

"Damn! How the heck did I forgot to take back my phone! And I already set my alarm and everything!" Kiyomi thought as she quietly walked down the stairs

"Got it!" Kiyomi thought as she took her phone from the table of the living room, careful not to make a sound. Then she looked at Gaara…

"Hmm? Isn't he cold or something? Even Kankurou has a blanket…"Kiyomi thought before she rushed upstairs and came back down with a blanket. She covered Gaara with the blanket and looked at Pablo who was already covered but with a cloth

"Oyasumi Pablo…"she thought as she looked at Pablo

"Oyasumi Gaara…"and with that she went back upstairs


and that's that! thank you all for reading! now i still need you guys to help me with the 'kibaxshinjuxkai' thing and also the 'truth or dare' thing! PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU! PLEASE HELP ME! THE PARTY CHAPTER IS COMING AND I ONLY HAVE A FEW TRUTH OR DARE THINGS AND ONLY ONE REVIEWER HELPED! PLEASE HELP!

naruto: YES PLEASE HELP OR MEGAN CAN NEVER UPDATE THE PARTY CHAPTER ON TIME!

yeah i already picked a specific date for me to update the party chapter!

neji: here are the instructions...again...

1) pick two naruto characters out of this list:

~naruto

~shino

~chouji

~shikamaru

~temari

~kankurou

~gaara

2) for example if you pick naruto and shinju, pick truth or dare and pick which character to dare/truth who...if you pick shinju to dare naruto, then you have to also give what she should dare naruto to do...

i think that's all the instructions...they also cannot dare someone to do something to themselves like let's just say ten ten has a crush on neji and she dared him to kiss her...that is not allowed! thank you neji for helping me say all that

neji: you forced me...

sasuke: served you right!

neji: shut up du-...
