Outside the mid point hotel the next morning

"Is everyone ready?" asks Gaara. Everyone nods, "Good let's go so we can get to Suna before sundown."

-

Lunch Time

"Are you sure they're in love, because they've been quiet all day. They haven't said a word to anyone," Ino whispers to Temari.

"That's sure what it looked like last night!" Saka over hears them, having better hearing than a wolf.

"I'll be right back I uh...have to go do this thing," Saka says and quickly leaves Winthi following.

"Oh let me help you with that thing," says Kankuro who follows her.

"Wonder what they're up to?" asks Temari.

"Don't even think about it," says Gaara.

"Man you're no fun!"

"I'm tons of fun watch," he kisses Ino grossing out Temari.

-

"What's wrong?" asks Kankuro.

"They think we're dating!"

"Yah I figured they did by the way they were acting," he says.

"What should we do?"

"You could always act like you love Shika or Gaara," he jokes.

"Yah right! Oh I know lets grows them out you don't mind kissing do you?" Winthi laughs, "Winthi go back with the others," she nods and leaves.

"That's perfect!" they head back towards the others. When they are close enough so that everyone can see them, Kankuro wraps his arms around Saka's waist pulling her closer to him. Her arms are around His neck and moving to his hair. Their lips meet, and then they quickly pull away from each other laughing at the looks on everyone's faces.

"See told you it'd work!" they laugh, then go to join the others, bugging them about what just happened.

-

Later that day

They are at Suna, "Well here we are the sand village," says Gaara. They walk to an apartment complex.

"This is where you live?" ask Saka.

"Yep!" says Temari.

"It's been a long day lets go to sleep," says Gaara.

"Ok what apartment numbers are you guys and who's going with who?" asks Ino.

"Well Gaara's is 8 and I think you're going with him. Mine is 1 and Shika's coming with me!"

"Don't I have a say in this!" says Kankuro.

"No! And Kankuro's is 5 and Saka and Winthi are going with him."

"Ok!" they all go to their designated apartments.

Apartment number 1 Temari's apartment

Temari's apartment has a blue and grey theme; there are several decorative fans on the walls. In the living room there is a pastel purple couch next to a matching chair, with a bamboo coffee table in between them. The kitchen is small but elegant; there is a small eating area to the right outside the kitchen. There are two doors one leading to the right and the other leading to the left.

Evaluating the apartment like he does everything else, "This suits you."

"Thanks I designed it myself," she smiles at him.

"Wow that's surprising," he says.

"Oh shut up smart ass!" She walks over to him and wraps her arms around his neck, bringing their lips together. She opens her mouth for him; his tongue enters playing with hers. He grabs her hips and pulls her closer to him. She breaks the kiss breathless, she slyly smiles at him. "Goodnight," she starts walking to the door on the right.

"Hey where am I supposed to sleep?" she points to the couch. "Yah ok I get it, night sandy."

"Night," she says smiling, as she walks into her room. Shika laughs and follows her into the room. She looks at him grinning, "Couch wasn't comfortable enough?"

He grins, "I'd rather spend the night with you," he shrugs. She laughs and welcomes him to her embrace.

Apartment number 8 Gaara's apartment

"Gaara you look worried, is it about your meeting tomorrow?" Ino asks looking around the apartment then at Gaara.

He sighs, "Yah I have no idea what it's about so I'm worried." He's starring out the window; Ino comes over to him and wraps her arms around his neck.

She whispers in his ear, "Don't worry I'll be there for you." He turns around and smiles at her, he wraps his arms around her waist, rocking her side to side, bodies and minds connecting. Her mouth connects with his neck, moving up to his mouth. Her mouth is millimeters from his, impatient he completes the kiss by connecting their lips. They share their thoughts and feelings without saying a word. They move to the couch, where they lay in each others arms. When Ino falls asleep Gaara watches over her, stroking her hair, till morning.

Apartment number 5 Kankuro's apartment

"So this is where you live," says Saka looking around at the purple and black apartment.

"It's dark and pretty," says Winthi.

"Yep home sweet home," he says as he sets his puppets down.

Trying to make conversation, "So what do you normally do?" asks Saka.

"I'm normally not home."

"Really…that sounds familiar," says Saka quietly. She walks over to him. "Why don't you show us your bedroom?" she says sweetly.

He smiles at her, "Right this way." He takes her over to a door and opens it. "After you." She goes in Winthi running past her jumping on the bed. Saka turns around to face Kankuro, wrapping her arms around his neck. In the back round Winthi has an evil grin on her face. Kankuro brings his lips to hers for only a second, Saka pushes him away faster than he can blink, and the door is closed and locked in his face.

"Goodnight!" she says through the door laughing. He hears three sets of laughter.

"Hey what the fuck! That's my room!" he says.

"Oh…it is I thought that it was where I'm sleeping." Winthi and another voice start laughing harder.

"Man why didn't I see this coming?" he asks himself.

"Because you were too busy thinking about me, then about me stealing your room. Besides I thought I told you I have a mate?"

"Yah, but where am I going to sleep?" he wines.

"You have a couch, use it." He says something under his breath.

"I won't fall for it again I'll get my room back!"

Who knows maybe someday you'll have someone to share it with."

"Stop it!" he shouts.

"Stop what?" she asks innocently.

"I won't be able to sleep with you saying stuff like that!" she laughs at him.

"Goodnight purple puppet!"

"What?!?"

"Zzzzz….."

"No one falls asleep that fast!" pause "Fine, but I'll get you back, so watch your back." He grabs some blankets and a pillow and goes to sleep on the couch.

The next morning

Apartment number 8 Gaara's apartment

"Ino…" Gaara whispers, she grumbles and moves around. "Ino," he says with more force, she opens her eyes and sees Gaara and smiles.

"Yah…" she says sleepily.

"You need to get up or we're going to be late. While you're getting ready I'll get the others."

"Hmm…ok," she agrees. Ino sits up and goes over to the bathroom, when Gaara walks over and kisses her.

"Good morning," he whispers, and then he lets her go get ready.

-

Apartment number 1 Temari's apartment

Temari and Shikamaru are lying in bed when there is a knock on the door. Temari groans and rolls out of bed, grabbing her purple robe and throws it over her shorts and tank top. She goes over and opens the door seeing Gaara, "What do you want Gaara?" she asks.

Gaara sees Shika come out from Temari's bedroom. "You're going to be late to the meeting."

"Oh…yah we'll be ready in 10 minutes. God it's like you never sleep," she says.

"I don't you know that." Pause "Oh and I'm glad you two had fun last night," at that Temari's eyes widen and Gaara laughs leaving her there.

-

Apartment number 5 Kankuro's apartment

Kankuro's asleep on the couch, and Saka, and Winthi are asleep in his room, the door is still locked. A knock is heard at the front door. The knocking goes on for several minutes when it stops and Gaara enters the apartment. He sees Kankuro sleeping on the couch; he walks over to him and pokes him. Kankuro doesn't move. Why is Kankuro sleeping out here? He goes over to his brother's room and knocks. Inside Saka rolls over groaning, "Give it up Kankuro you're not getting in here."

Smiling Gaara says, "It's Gaara." At that Saka gets up and opens the door.

"Sorry," she says. "I thought you were Kankuro." She looks behind her at the still sleeping Winthi holding what looks like a kitsune stuffed animal.

"No, he's not up yet, I'll leave that to you," he grins.

"Now your brother is really going to hate you for leaving him in my care."

"I need a good laugh," they both burst out laughing. Saka goes over and grabs a glass of water, then walks over to Kankuro and dumps the water on his head. He pops up suddenly, and sees Saka.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"Getting you up dumb ass."

"You should thank her Kankuro; the elders don't like it when you're late." Winthi walks out rubbing her eyes holding her doll. "Well I'll leave you three alone," he leaves before either can say anything.

Before Kankuro has anytime to react Saka runs to the shower. "OMG that's not fair!" Winthi burst out laughing and grabs some fish and water and starts to eat.

From the shower, "Well you snooze you loose!"

"What ever," he says under his breath.

Meeting room

Gaara, Ino, Kankuro, Shikamaru, Temari, Winthi and Saka walk into the meeting room. The elders stand up in greeting. One says, "Gaara…"
