Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

I'm very sorry for the lateness of this chapter but I have no excuse for my procrastination. Well… having to admin three different sites and roleplay on another four isn't helping lol.

Reviews:

Shadow Dragon Twister: Nah you're not being obvious. I can't tell you if you're being unobvious either, Good luck with figuring it out though .

Ms. Uzumaki: I will make it a lemon, that's half the reason why it's rated M.

Anyway, here's the Chapter 8 you guys wait for for so long. Again I am very sorry about my lateness.

Chapter 8

A relaxing sonata played throughout the small room. The smell of chemicals, such as nail polish remover, filled the confined area. "Wow, it's like this place his hot boxed! I love it!" Naruto stated dumbly as he inhaled deeply through his nose and laughed aloud to the girl next to him.

"That's why I told you to turn on the ventilation system before this started!" Temari shouted as she breathed through her mouth not wanting to get high. "Now go do it!"

"Fine! Fine! I just wanted to see how you'd act when stoned, Temari-chan. Shesh, is that such a crime?" The blond Jounin sarcastically asked as he glided over to flick on the vent switch. "How are you liking your manicure and crap?"

"Oh it's just fine Naruto-kun. I hate waiting for the darn nail polish to too dry. And I shouldn't even be getting this done; I'll only ruin it later tonight. I would much rather have hair done." Temari commented truthfully, now shaking her fingers to dry them.

"Well let's go get that done instead! There's a hairstylist on the other side of this place. I go there all the time with Hinata. She seems to like it enough." Said Naruto as he sat in the chair beside Temari. "I think I should get my hair dyed black! What do you think?"

"You have to be kidding me! You would definitely not look good with black hair Naruto-kun! I think you're perfect just the way you are anyway." Temari assured him while giving him a playful flick on the nose. "By the way Naruto, where am I staying? I don't believe Hokage-sama told unless I was asleep sometime during the day." Temari asked, now blowing on her nails. Also giving Naruto a raised slender eyebrow and turning her dark blue eyes toward him without moving her head.

"Tsunade told me that you're going to be staying at my apartment. I know, I know. It doesn't sound good, but I'll try to make it as fun as I can. I still don't know why she never chose Tenten or Hinata… not that I'm complaining! God no! It's going to be awesome to have you around!" Naruto answered her sincerely. Then taking her hand in his, Naruto begins to gently blow on the nail polish.

"I bet it's going to be as boring as hell." Temari sarcastically said as she gave him a soft chuckle.

"Well Temari-chan. I know what hell tastes like, feels like, smells like, and everything. It's not boring, just lonely and painful." Naruto started, the identical smile after the incident in Victoria's Secret. "Now my place… it was a hell once, but it got a little bit colder and less dirty. Gaara knew what hell was like too, but of course you already knew that about him."

"W-what do you mean? I know Gaara-sama never had a good start, but now that the demon is gone and he's Kazekage people talk to him like he's normal now. Do you really know what that's like?" Temari asked with scepticism apparent in her voice. She couldn't really believe anyone knew what Gaara's life was like. Even though she was around him, she didn't know what it was like.

"Can you keep a secret Temari?" Naruto inquired. 'Well I hope she stays around once I tell her. I'd hate to lose another person to a demon confession. But I guess I never really lost Hinata-chan, she still talks to me. Well it's too late to muse about it now. Temari-chan's here now, she shouldn't take it that hard anyway.'

"Of course Naruto-kun." Temari answered with pure honest intent.

"Well… I am like what Gaara used to be. Gaara knew it because I told him a while ago and we can sort of sense it in each other." Naruto solemnly began his confession. "I've been hated, beaten up, nearly killed on several occasions, shunned, and everything just like Gaara. And all that was just in the first 9 years of my life. I have the Kyuubi sealed away inside of me Temari-chan, this is how I know what hell is like."

Temari just sat there with an astonished look and her mouth slack-jawed. It was taking a few minutes for her brain to process the information Naruto just supplied her with. Slowly her flabbergasted look faded to one, which surprised Naruto to know end. She was giving him a look of understanding and compassion; something that only Iruka had given him. 'Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I told people about it… But there is a law about it, I'll convince Tsunade-obaachan to lift it. But I'll wait for a couple months before I do that.'

"Well now I understand everything. Why I seen people give you glares and everything." Temari then looked directly into his eyes. "Naruto-kun… You have my utmost respect. You had a beast worse then Shukaku sealed away inside of you and you never turned into someone like Gaara-sama was. You could have just let the beast take over and kill the people that did things that hurt you, but you never Naruto-kun. You could have become a blood thirsty monster…"

The blond kunoichi could almost feel Naruto's insecurity over her reaction and she wanted to remove that. Temari couldn't believe what was happening next, her body was just moving on its own. She began to lean her head into towards Naruto's, her eyelids slowly drooping down over her eyes as she came closer and closer. An overwhelming feeling of butterflies in her stomach suddenly appeared.

Naruto's mind lost total control over his body and began to slowly lean in towards the leaning Temari. Soon he found his eyes closing when his lips were only an inch from her lips. The butterflies which he hadn't felt since he was a child around Sakura had re-emerged from their slumber, now as active as ever.

It felt as if an eternity had passed in the few milliseconds in which they had their eyes closed. Then electricity shot through both bodies as their lips found each other in a spark filled greeting. The first kiss was soft and tender, 'So soft.' Naruto thought as he began to slide his arms around her waist.

Feeling Temari's lips open slightly, Naruto took the initiative. Releasing his well-practiced tongue into the oral cavity of the receiving woman. Temari was taken completely by surprise, but did nothing to show she didn't want it; to the contrary, she wanted this more then anything in the world right now.

After about a minute of making out Temari was the first of the two to pull away, both taking a second to process what happened.

"I-" They both started and stopping as soon they heard the other. Naruto was going to apologize for taking advantage of her and Temari was going to tell him how proud she was of him. A very odd moment indeed.

"You go ahead Naruto-kun." Temari said as she looked towards the floor trying to hide her obvious blush.

"I… uh… Thank you Temari-chan. Y-you don't understand how much your words mean to me." Realizing that an apology would probably most likely ruin the moment. Several long tears streamed down the whiskered cheek of Naruto; he wasn't even aware his eyes were watery. "Thank you Temari-chan."

Extending her left hand Temari reached out and wiped the tears from his cheeks, sliding over his whiskers. Naruto inhaled sharply as her fingers caressed his whisker marks if only but for a second. "Are you okay Naruto-kun?" Temari asked quickly and with worry in her voice after hearing Naruto's sharp intake of breath.

"Yea, I'm fine Temari-chan. Come on lets get out of here it's already 7:30! Your clothes should already be at my apartment and you need to get a shower! You smelly, smelly girl." Naruto taunted causing him to receive a strike in the shoulder again! 'I can't tell her my whiskers are sensitive. She'll torment me all the time.'

"You're lucky I'm holding back! I don't want to break your arm." Bragged Temari as she stood and shook her hands quickly trying to dry the colourful paint on her nails quicker. "My God this takes a long time to dry! And how did you get us this private booth?"

"You can break my arm if you want, it'll heal in a minute. Anyway it takes about fifteen minutes because of the special jutsu required to make it. And I'm a… 'friend' of the manager." He said as he stood as well. "I should have painted my nails too. Oh well, it's too late."

"How many times have you been with her?" Temari asked quickly so Naruto would answer without processing the question.

"Five. Wait! What? God damn it! That was a really long time ago!" The blond hero exclaimed as the blond girl was completely taken by rage, not even willing to listen to his reasoning.

"FIVE TIMES! NARUTO UZUMAKI! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? YOU'RE NOT A MAN WHORE!" Temari screamed while punching Naruto through the door into the main part of the building.

Landing out in the main room with a loud thud, skidding across the floor until completely stopped with his back against the leg of a table. "Nice punch there Temari-chan." He said as he shifted his jaw and spit a little bit of blood onto the floor. "Why the hell would you freak out at me for something so long ago? It's not like we're boyfriend and girlfriend or something!" 'Oh shit. I had to say that, didn't I? Fuck fuckidy fuck fuck! We're more then friends, that kiss wasn't something between friends at least. Why the hell does my mouth get in the way all the fucking time!'

"I-I can't believe you Naruto!" Temari exclaimed, her voice cracking. "You're an asshole!" Running passed Naruto heading towards the door.

"Wait Temari-chan! You didn't even give me a chance to explain!" The blonde shouted after her but he was to late, she was already out the door. 'Damn it Temari-chan! It was years ago since I even touched that damn woman! Why don't girls ever listen to reason… First Hinata when I told her the Kyuubi let some other girl take my virginity. Now Temari over some damn girl I never touched in years. I'll never get to keep the girl I want… But I still have to try, I wouldn't of become the most surprising ninja with determination.'

Somewhere in Konoha

Kicking a small pebble through the streets, a tearful blond kunoichi hugged herself. Letting a small sigh escape her lips she tilted her head towards the ground. 'What's wrong with me? Why did I get so upset at Naruto… he was right. We aren't going out… it was only one silly kiss.'

A muffled cry came from her throat as she thought about the amazing sensations that were tingling through her body when their lips collided. 'Am I kidding myself? That kiss was amazing. I should really go back and apologize, but what would he think of me? He'd probably just walk away and not even look at me again, the way he always looked at me. The way that made me feel so important and like the only girl around him. God I'm so stupid!'

Temari was too busy in her thoughts to notice anything and absent-mindedly bumped into something rather large and soft. Finally coming back into reality she focused into what he was looking at… "Cl-cleavage…" Temari muttered as she looked up at the girl in front of her. "Ts-Tsunade-sama! I'm sorry for bumping into you!" Temari apologized quickly and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Eh? What's wrong with you Temari-san? Why are you crying?" Tsunade looked down at the shorter woman with slight concern in her eyes. "And where's Naruto?" A shocked looked appeared on Tsunade's face. "What did Naruto do to you? Would you like me to teach him a lesson?" Bringing her hands in front of her ample chest and cracking her knuckles.

"As much as I would like it, this wasn't Naruto-kun's fault. I guess I'm just not a good listener. I should have listened before punching him through the door." The younger blond stated truthfully and absent minded. She looked up at the elder woman and smiled sadly. "I'm not sure if Naruto-kun even wants to talk to me right now so I can't go to his apartment to pickup my clothes for the party." Temari confessed, nearly completely forgetting that she taken off the mini skirt and lace top before going to get her nails done.

"Just tell me what you need and you can wait for it at my place. I'll send someone to pick it up for you." Tsunade assured her placing a hand on her shoulder and giving it a soft squeeze.

"Thank you very much Tsunade-sama." Temari bowed to some extent, even with the hand on her shoulder trying to stop it.

50 Miles From Konoha

Three blurry figures flashed through the treetops at break-neck speeds, the first jumped into a clearing followed by the other two. The trio's attire comprised of a basic and plain black hooded cloak, not leaving any identifiable features to glance at. Their faces shrouded by the shadows.

"Fuck! How many more Goddamn fucking days? We've been fucking traveling for two damn days!" The furthest back claimed with enough profanity to make a sailor blush.

"Stop your swearing. If not I'll have to sew your mouth shut." The one in front stated with apparent anger in her voice. "We'll rest for now and take it at an easy pace for Konohagakure in the morning. We shall be there in two days at a slow pace. I know the ANBU routes so it shall be fairly easy to infiltrate the village."

"Yes Shiori-san!" The rather obedient middle male exclaimed almost immediately. "Would you like me to set up the tent or would you rather us sleep in the trees?"

The female paused for a moment before speaking in a demanding voice, "We'll sleep in the trees. We do not want to leave any trace we were here and with tents it's possible, even with my doujutsu I wouldn't be able to see everything."

"Yea, yea. Lets hurry up and go to sleep then, fuck I hate having to listen to people. I'd rather be on my own." The last male said as he jumped into the tree wanting to stop the conversation as fast as he could.
