Author's note: Well thanks for all the reviews. LoL yeah I know it's been a long time since I've updated. And I also have to give a shout out to VulcranDune and their triumphant return. Anyway here's the chapter you've all been asking for...
The day of Kankuro's party arrived and everyone for some reason was on a huge coach bus heading in the direction of Kankuro's house. Itachi was still upset and Naruto was still hanging out with Kisame and Itachi. That left Sasuke to sit all by himself, which added to his emo exterior. Your probably wondering about Gaara. Oh, he's sitting with Sasuke, he's just more interested in the t.v. in front of him. Kankuro was with Nicole, and Sakura and Ino we're chatting with their Sasuke fan club about the whole Itachi/ Ino thing.
"Hey, Naruto you going to put the bags in the upper compartment or what?" Kisame asked somewhat annoyed. Naruto looked at the huge, quite heavy looking bag and nodded. He placed his freshly bought icecream blizzard on the pull down table infront of him and picked up the bag. He looked in the compartment above them and noticed that it was allready full. He turned around and looked in the compartment over Sakura and saw that there was room. He lifted the bag over his head and began to shove it in when he turned his head and noticed that his Blizzard was gone,
"What the hell?" Naruto turned his head more and saw Kisame scarffing it down. "Hey" Naruto let go of the bag and it fell smashing into Sakura's head.
"Hey, Naruto what the hell is wrong with you?" Kisame shuved the spoon back into the blizzard and plopped it back down on the table. Naruto turned back around to Sakura,
"Oh, sorry. Sorry it was-"
"-Ok, just watch it" Naruto nodded and picked up the bag again. Once again he began to place the bag up into the compartment. Kisame watched him and grabbed the Blizzard and began shoveling it into his mouth. Naruto looked around again,
"HEY" He turned quickly and let the bag go. It fell and smashed Sakura in the head once again. This time Sakura got up and cracked her knuckles.
"Naruto!" Naruto didn't even acknowledge her, he was to busy fighting Kisame for his Blizzard. Sakura cracked her knuckles once again and dived into the action.
By the time Sakura had finished destroying Naruto, the bus had arrived at Kankuro's huge house and everyone was getting their stuff as the bus pulled into the long winding driveway.
"Allright everybody out" Kankuro said as he stood up from the back of the bus and pushed one kid down the aisle infront of him. Everybody got up and followed suit. Kankuro jumped out of the bus and turned to the crowed which followed him. "Welcome to my grand home" Kankuro said as he waved his hand to the side. "Pool's in the back, refreshment's in the kitchen, and rooms are upstairs... enjoy" He turned around and took his bag from Nicole who had graciously picked it up and dragged it off the bus for him, as well as her own bags. "Thanks"
"No problem" Nicole rolled her eyes, and followed a wide grinning Kankuro up the front steps.
"Are you sure your father is allright with this?" Shika asked Temari following her up the stairs. Temari shrugged,
"I suppose so, He did call and ask him. Plus my father's basically a kid himself." Temari said and smiled at him. Shikamaru paused and thought about it. Just thinking about it made him nervous. He didn't think her father liked him very much, but he shrugged it off and followed Temari up the stairs.
Kankuro made his way down the main hall and after offering to help carry Nicole's bags, he made his way up the flight of stairs with Nicole trailing behind him. He got to the top and made his way to the left and after passing a couple of doors he finally stopped and opened one.
"Here you go" Kankuro said and motioned Nicole inside. "I thought this room would suit you the best" Kankuro stated with a smile. He walked over to the bed and placed her bags onto it. Nicole looked around and crossed her arms over her chest.
"And why is that?" Nicole asked turning her attention back to him. Kankuro's grin grew bigger as he made his was to the other side of the room.
"Ah, well. That's because it's right next to mine" Kankuro paused and turned back around to face her. Nicole raised an eyebrow,
"and...?" she asked a little annoyed, also indicating that there was something else to it. Kankuro smirked,
"And this" Kankuro put his hand out and turned the handle of the door he stood next too. It took Nicole a while to realize where it lead too. It wasn't the closet, the closet was next to the washroom which was no where near this door. She took a step closer and peared inside. She raised both eyebrows in shock, and stepped back and faced Kankuro's nodding face and he winked at her. "Uh, huh. It conjoins to my room"
Nicole was about to reply when someone walked into the room. Kankuro looked up and Nicole turned around quickly,
"Oh, did I interupt something?" An older man asked, with a smirk on his face. Kankuro laughed and stepped around Nicole.
"Nope dad, just showing her, her room." Kankuro said clasping his hands together.
"Oh, and are you going to introduce her, Kankuro?" Kankuro's father asked.
"Right, dad this is Nicole, Nicole this is da-"
"Call me Ace" Kankuro's father said with a very casual smile and a hand shake.
"What?" Knakuro asked confused. His father didn't even look up to acknowledge him. He just smiled down at Nicole and rolled his eyes.
"Well that's what all my friends call me" Kankuro just looked even more confused. Ace let go of Nicoles hand and turned to Kankuor,
"So where is that sister of yours? She was coming to right?" Kanuro scratched his head,
"Uh, yeah, I think I saw her heading up to her room with that Shikamaru kid" Ace raised his eyebrows,
"Really?" He turned and left the room without another word.
Temari opened the door of her room and walked inside. Shikamaru followed shortly after dragging the rest of her bags up the stairs.
"Did you really need to bring all this stuff?" Temari turned around and gave him a very innocent look. Shikamaru dropped the bags in the middle of the rooms floor and rolled his eyes. "Um, do youthink your fath-"
"Hmm" Ace stood in the doorway of Temari's room and glarred at Shikamaru. All Shikamaru could do was stare and slowly clear his throat.
"Daddy" Temari ran up and gave her father a big hug. "You remember Shikamaru don't you" Ace let go of his daughter and looked up,
"Ah yes, how could I forget" Shikamaru gulped. "Come, you must be hungry. And you must introduce me to more of your guests." Temari smiled back at her father and waved at Shikamaru to follow them. He did, but ever so slowly.
"Kisame, this isn't are house. You can't just barge in and eat what ever you like." Kisame stood up straight and peered around the fridge door at Itachi, who was sitting at the kitchen table. Naruto was know where to be seen.
"Well, why not? It's basically the same thing as us doing it at school. Is it not?" Itachi rolled his eyes and glanced at the kitchen doorway.
"Itachi! Is that you?" Itachi jumped out of his chair.
"Uh, yes. Yes it is sir." Itachi gave him a slight smile. Ace made his way towards Itachi's outstretched hand. "It's been along time" Itachi nodded and looked past him at Temari. Temari gave him a slight smile. "Temari! Why'd you ever break up with this young man?" Ace asked as he turned around and placed his arm around Itachi's shoulders.
Temari looked down, and glanced slightly at Shikamaru, who had a look on him as if he wanted to kill someone.
"I don't know daddy, it just-"
"Well you two should get back together. What a smart match.. I trust Itachi here, he'd be able to provide for you, better than that other kid what's his name" Ace put his finger to his temple as if her consintrating really hard. "Shikaka something" Kisame spat out the chicken he was scarfing down his throat, and burst out laughing.
"Shikaka. Oh man that's priceless. I gotta remember that one" He said pointing the half eaten chicken leg in their direction. Ace smiled and nodded, while Itachi blushed a little as well as Temari, and Shikamaru looked as if he were going to die.
"Shikamaru dad."
"Yeh, whatever. Come Itachi I want to show you that new yaht I got, that I was telling you about before you two broke up. You should come sailing with us sometime." Itachi nodded and followed after giving one last glance at Temari and leaving Kisame to the fridge. Temari turned to Shika and shrugged. Shikamaru just fumed.
