~It Takes Two to Tango~
The tropical-like trees swayed in motion back and forth while the breeze wove between them like ribbons. Birds sweetly sang their tune while the ocean roared in unison as the sunbeams radiated off its great warmth and brightness that spread across the windows hoping to get the people to remove the curtains and look out of their windows.
Ino and Rock Lee were at the beach sitting on the rocks, while Rock Lee was making Ino laugh with his humorous remarks. Ino's blonde hair was up in a ponytail with a red ribbon to show that she was 'taken' XD*
Rock Lee gently held Ino into his warm hands and held it closely as if he never wanted to let go of her. The girl blushed and gave him a peck on the lips and drew back leaving hearts in the boy's eyes.
"I love you, Ino" Rock Lee could feel his cheeks warm and was confused whether he was actually blushing or it was the sun's fault. His girlfriend gave his hand a squeeze and sat closer to him and whispered those words into his words as if to seduce him.
"I love you too...Lee,"
Just then Rock Lee startled her with his energy as he quickly got up and led her to the waters while Ino leapt with joy as she felt the cold waters covering her feet. She looked to her side and saw Rock Lee securely holding her as they held each other.
Suddenly, the two of them found each other dancing in the waters and they laughed with delight and Rock Lee twirled Ino and her blue summer dress she was wearing ^^ twirled like a princess and when he drew her closer, they paused until a big tide covered them.
After a while, Ino and Rock Lee popped their heads out of the water and the guy found his girlfriend laughing. "That was hilarious, Lee," Ino swam towards Rock Lee and he did the same thing. As the height of the tide diminished, the two held each other as they both walked to the sand to grab their sandals.
As they walked up to the door, Rock Lee put his wet arm around Ino and suggested that they should do it again. Ino, in response, held his hand and sweetly answered, "I would love to, Lee...as long as I'm with you." They both entered the entrance and both ran up to wash themselves from the sand and salt of the waters they splashed around.
Back at the house, Hinata was with Sakura giving her some warm soup (not ramen ^^) while Naruto brought in some wet towels for her forehead. "Sakura, it seems that you've been getting better, now," Hinata kindly brought up as Sakura took some silent sips of the soup and then put the bowl gently on her lap and then winced.
Naruto went over and comforted Sakura, "Sakura-Chan! You shouldn't move that much...the bandages aren't healed yet,"
"Sorry," was the first word that Sakura said for the entire morning while Hinata and Naruto were helping her, "thank you," she thanked them and the couple smiled.
"We're just helping a friend of ours," Naruto smiled with an arm behind his head.
"Well, after you finish your soup...I suppose that you could go out, but not too far...and I want you to stay away from the water, because your wounds aren't healed yet," Hinata was instructing Sakura as if she were a kid. Sakura put her hand up and told her not to worry, just as Neji entered the door.
"I'll leave you lovebirds alone," Hinata whispered and gave Sakura a wink as she and Naruto left the room.
~*~
Naruto and Hinata were in the living room watching some television beside each other with Naruto holding the remote control. (Guys...and the remote control...^^) He was flipping the channels until he reached the Food Channel, and today's special was Sushi.
Hinata looked to her right and sweat dropped when she saw Naruto practically drooling as he was watching the chef slowly making the sushi. A few seconds after that, Naruto stood up with his hand up in the air. He brought Hinata up with him and triumphantly said, "We're going to make sushi, Hinata!!!" In response, Hinata smiled and kindly got out the supplies while Naruto was observing the vegetables and other ingredients that were spread over the counter.
"Naruto-kun, do you know where the Nori is?" Hinata was searching over the place while she had a bamboo mat already in place on the counter. Naruto looked up and looked at the bag he was eating. ^^
"Uh, Hinata is Nori the seaweed?" Naruto could feel himself sweat dropping and looked into the plastic bag and was relived that were a few pieces left.
"Did you eat some, Naruto-kun," Hinata expected this to happen, and she told him that it was ok and that he knew that he will correct his mistakes, "Now, let's make some sushi,"
Naruto got out the instructions and read the first instruction, "Place a sheet of Nori on the bamboo mat, shiny side down," and Hinata did as explained, "Keeping your hands moistened, put two or three tablespoons of sushi rice in the center of the Nori and spread evenly over the seaweed,"
Hinata went to the sink and wet her hands a little and then Naruto handed her a bowl of rice and some spoons. "Use the palm of your hand at the side of the seaweed to form a firm edge, and leave a one-inch margin at the top of the Nori to seal the roll," Hinata did what was instructed and then stopped.
"Naruto-kun, I don't want to be the one doing all the work," Hinata smiled. Naruto gave a nervous grin and confessed that the only thing he can make is scrambled eggs and ramen, "It's ok, I'll help you," Hinata kindly grabbed Naruto's hand and led him to where the sushi was being made.
Naruto looked what has been made so far and then sweat dropped, "It looks hard,"
Hinata held his hand and said, "It's ok, it's really easy," Hinata then grabbed the instructions and read it.
"Spread a streak of Wasabi across the middle, then add layers of fish and vegetables across the center of the rice," Hinata handed him the tube of Wasabi and Naruto carefully opened it and then asked for the instructions again.
"Spread a streak of Wasabi in the middle," Hinata was breaking it down into easier sentences, "then add some fish which is by your left and some vegetables across the center of the rice," Hinata explained.
Later, Naruto gave a happy chuckle and Hinata clapped. "Good job, Naruto- kun, I knew that you'd be able to do it," and Naruto kissed her with gratitude.
"Naruto-kun," Hinata closed her eyes and dropped the instructions on the floor and caressed his face as they moved in and kissed again.
Later, the two resumed back to the sushi-making and Hinata was reading out from the directions, "To roll, fold the bamboo mat so the filling is enclosed in the center of the Nori," Naruto successfully accomplished the instruction and Hinata smiled.
"Next, press the mat around the roll for about thirty seconds to shape it," Naruto did as he was told, "then moisten the margin of seaweed and seal the roll as tightly as possible."
Naruto wet his hands and then tightly sealed the roll hoping that none of the fish and vegetables would pop out. When he was finished, a sweat drop appeared on his cheek as Hinata continued on with the instructions.
"Remove the mat from around the roll, press in the loose ends and place it on a cutting board, seam side down," Hinata said, "then, slice the roll into one-inch rounds, using a wet, sharp knife." Hinata went over to some drawers near the refrigerator and got out a knife.
She carefully handed it over to Naruto who was shaking by the size of the knife and the sharpness. "It's ok," Hinata comforted him as he cautiously sliced the roll into smaller versions.
"Do not saw, but cut firmly, straight down." Hinata instructed and Naruto then felt relieved as he finished the rolls. Before he took a bite, Hinata stopped him, "don't eat it yet, we have to make some more...for the others," at that comment, Naruto fell backwards and Hinata whispered, "Naruto-kun," as she smiled.

Neji was holding Sakura as they slowly walked to the warm sand, "Are you sure you want to go out here?" he was worried about her health, and Sakura nodded with certainty.
They then settled onto the sand where Neji brought out a blanket and laid it on the sand where the two of them sat down on it. In just a while, Neji could hear some sniffles from Sakura and asked what was wrong.
Sakura held her face and touched the bandages, "It's really romantic here with you, but I look ugly with all these bandages," Neji held her hand and shook his head.
"Sakura, don't be ridiculous...you still look beautiful regardless of your bandages," Neji kindly answered. The two held each other as they sat in silence and then Neji kissed Sakura on the lips which Sakura held Neji's head as they kissed.
Thoughts were swarming in Sakura's head, about what had happened and then she realized that this was her first kiss.
First kiss
When they pulled away, Sakura felt her face blush and Neji smiled as he touched her face gently as he brushed some hair away from her pretty face. "Sakura...you probably have been wondering where we stand," Neji said.
"Do you...do you want to be my girlfriend?" Neji smiled at her and Sakura beamed at him and kissed him on the mouth and held him closer.
"Yes," Sakura laughed and Neji laughed with her as he put his arm around her.
Nearby, Sasuke was leaning against the beach house observing the happy couple out on the beach. The wind was beating against his black hair as he had his arm crossed across from his chest. His black eyes looked at Sakura, and they stayed there until someone blocked his view.
"Sasuke!!" Temari interrupted his view, "I haven't seen you ever since this afternoon, where were you?"
"Here," Sasuke simply answered.
"You don't talk much, do you?" Temari put her hands on her waist in a disappointed look, and then a smile approached her face, "how about a kiss, then? Have you had your first kiss?"
"Yes, from that annoying blonde inside," Sasuke said.
Confused, Temari asked, "Which blonde?" XD*
A smile crept up his face and said, "Naruto," and Temari laughed and then realized that he was serious. She backed away and said, "are you gay?"
"Does it matter?" Sasuke said with a mischievious smile. Horrified, Temari walked away.
She is so gullible, he thought as he brought back his gaze on Sakura. His eyes then looked at the sky which was darkening. Sasuke then headed back in while the couple began to fold the blanket to go back into the house.
~*~
Temari ran to her room and plopped herself onto her bed and saw Gaara on his bed meditating.
She broke the silence between them and angrily said, "Happy?"
Gaara opened his eyes and broke out of his meditating and smiled. Temari put up his hands in defeat, "How come you don't want me happy?"
"It's not that, if you're talking about that boy," Gaara's deep voice startled his sibling.
"He's not called 'that boy' his name happens to be Sasuke," Temari rolled her eyes, "so, why are you happy if it isn't about Sasuke rejecting me?"
Gaara looked up and saw Ten-Ten walking to her room from outside of his door. Temari looked at Gaara and then at the girl. A smile came onto the blonde's face.
"How long has this been going on?" Temari asked but Gaara didn't answer because he resumed back to his meditating. She fell backwards and whispered, "Ten-Ten, huh?"
