Plz read and review. I'm really trying on this story.
Ten-ten was looking out the window at the trees as they passed by so fast. She had her hair in two buns like always and was wearing the same clothes she normally wore witch consisted of Chines pink shirt and baggy blue pants with the same style sandal shoes they all wore. She had her hand holding her head and even thou the scenery was beautiful she was bored. She lifted her head and turned to see Neji arms crossed and eyes closed. She sighed and looked at him with a dreamy expression. She had come to terms with the fact that she was indeed in love with him back during the exams. But she wouldn't tell anyone she'd probably just die if Neji found out. She feared that he would hate her and she couldn't deal with that so she settled on being secretly in love.
Neji on the other hand was just thinking about this new place. He heard too many different roomers so he decided to come up with one of his own. He felt like he was being watched so he opened his eyes and saw Ten-ten quickly avert her gaze back to the window. 'Why would Ten-ten be looking at me like that?' he thought to himself but just stayed silent only arching a perfect brow.
In the seat in front of them sat a pink hired Sakura and a moody Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun are you excited about the city?" Sakura nervously said with her hands holding tightly to her white sundress she was wearing. She kept her heir short witch made it easier to handle on missions. She was looking at Sasuke intently.
Sasuke was sitting facing the window and just didn't say anything. Truth be told he was existed to be going to see the new Country in general well at lest to see there weapons. He turned his head and looked at the girl beside him who had been his friend-yes friend- for year and some time. And now she was looking at the ground sad because of the answer Sasuke gave her or more like the lack they're of. "A little." He said in a come cool voice.
'SASUKE'S THE COOLEST HELL YAH!' Screamed Sakura's inner voice. As she smiled up at the guy she was so deeply in love with that it hurt to be apart from. She had stopped fighting with Ino for his affections because Ino and Shikamaru were going out now about three months ago. Much to Shikamaru's annoyance "I am too!" She said in a happy out going voice. "This will be fun, we can get away form all the missions." Sakura slid over a little to sit closer to the raven-haired boy.
"Yah." Was all Sasuke said as he went back to staring out the window at the water that they were passing by.
Kiba on the other hand was arguing with Spike on how cool dogs are then snakes. (AN: I'm not getting into that on -sighs-) Well Kiba every once in a while would glance his beautiful Hinata.
Naruto was trying to fight a loosing battle on trying not to fall asleep. He was wearing his bright orange jumper. And head protector. He yawned and scratched his head. He glanced at Hinata. "Hey why are you sitting with me?" he said it with a voice full of curiosity.
Hinata just blushed. "We-well I-I" she did the finger thing. She didn't know what to say without dying of embarrassment.
"Hey Desiree-chan do you have any remen in this city?" he asked totally forgetting his previous question. To Hinata's delight.
"Never heard of it." Desiree said.
Naruto looked like he had been shown the most horrifying thing he could think of. And that's saying something. "No remen-" and that's when Naruto fainted.
In the other seat there was Rock Lee and Carder talking about what happened in the morning. "You answered the door for Desiree in nothing BUT A TOWEL!" Lee shouted at Carder low enough so everyone wouldn't know. His eyes were wide and his fist was up but he wasn't going to hit Carder.
"So?" Carder said like it was nothing. "Its nothing she hasn't seen before."
Lee's mouth dropped. He couldn't form words. "YOU AND DESIREE-CHAN ARE-ARE?" this made people turn to look at them.
Gaara felt a sharp pain go through his gut like a sharp knife. He never felt it before and he had no idea what it was all he new was it hurt. Thou it passed when the next person spoke.
"What? No!" Carder shook his head fearfully. "Sense Desi got that house we sleep over all the time. Meaning the band and we've known each other for a while so-people do walk in on people in the shower." He really didn't want to get into details on that subject. "And what about you and Spike in bed with each other?" Carder heard Desiree spit up some water she was drinking from her water bottle. Witch caused Carder to laugh.
"WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN!" Spike yelled in shock. "WHERE YOU TRYING TO RAPE ME?" he screamed at Lee and pointed a finger.
Now Desiree was laughing like there was no tomorrow. "Holy-" She laughed. "Hell!" she couldn't breath. "Spike you probably grabbed him like you do when people try to wake you up!" she was laughing through the whole thing. "That's why we use force to wake your sleepy dumb ass up. Besides remember when Greg tried to wake you? You pinned him to the bed and started liking him thinking he was an ice cream cone!" she couldn't say another word because she was having enough trouble breathing.
Carder burst out laughing too. "I remember that. Greg didn't talk to you for a month." That caused everyone but Gaara to laugh. Neji laughed a little, and Sasuke laughed on the inside.
Kakashi who had been reading quietly looked up from his book and lifted his eyebrows.
Spike looked horrified. Then he thought of something to get back at Desiree. Then it hit him. "How about the time you and Kate got really drunk and you two had-" He got a water bottle in the face courtesy of an enraged Desiree.
"Aaron you EVER say that again and I will make it so you NEVER have children." She said in a scary low voice.
The blonde wasn't affected by the threat. A smile went on his face. "Ok ok I got one. The time when we were 11 and you jumped out of a 3 story building onto a car and broke your caller bone?" he said in triumph.
Neji raised an eyebrow and looked at Desiree because she didn't seem to be that dumb. Now a ninja could do that but these three were normal. "…."
Desiree crossed her arms over her chest. Her eyebrow twitched….a lot. She took a deep angry breath. "If my memory is correct I didn't jump."
"OH YAH YOU FELL!" he laughed at her.
Her eyebrow twitched more if it were possible. "Yah I did fall Spike." She stopped before he could say a word. "Because…you pushed me…half wit." She said bluntly.
Spike stopped laughing and thought about it. "OH YAH!"
Gaara's eyes suddenly became angry and he clenched his fist. Why he was suddenly angry he didn't know but he wanted to hurt Spike for hurting the women beside him. All these emotions were starting to freak him out he didn't know what they were and he didn't like them one bit
'Kill, kill, kill! Rip his pathetic weak body apart' Shukaku said in Gaara's head. 'No.' was all Gaara said and closed his eyes. 'Why not? I KNOW you want to. Hehe he hurt your precious person, didn't he?' He said mockingly. "She's not my precious person." He said under his breath.
"What?" Desiree turned around not hearing what he said. Gaara staid silent and Desiree turned back as she heard Ten-ten's voice.
"Why did he push you? Was he trying to kill you?" She was wondering if Spike tried to kill her why were they friends.
Desiree snorted and shook her head no. "No Spike's just a moron. You see we were trying to sneak out of my house when I was liven in a building at the time. Anyway I was grounded and we wanted to hang out with friends so we climbed out the window because there was this thing we always used to climb down well Spike was below me and he heard my stepfather coming. so he did what any moron would do he yanked on my pants to make me hurry and my grip wasn't soled so he ended up pulling me down." She said the last part dully. "The car was a convertible I broke through it and landed on my side. It broke my fall and my caller bone." She said and sub concisely touched the bone. "God my fuckin Bill was PISSED!" she said with a short laugh.
'He's probably as dumb as Naruto!' Sakura thought to herself in disbelief.
"Bill?" Lee asked Carder in a whisper.
"He was her asshole of a step father." Carder said.
"Oh." Ten-ten said she was now curious to know. "Why was he an asshole?"
"I'll let Desiree tell you that when she wants to." Carder said back to her.
"OH LOOK!" Naruto shouted. Hinata jumped. He was pointing as hug buildings came into view. "THAT ONES HUGE!"
Desiree was happy to change the subject. She looked to where Naruto was pointing. "That is the PSG Tower. The second biggest tower in Canada." (AN: I know I know but this is my stoey)
They were all looking at it in aw.
Desiree went to the driver. "Lets make a stop at the tower ok? I'll pay extra."
"Yes ma'am." The old man pulled into the parking lot.
"What are we doing?" asked Sasuke.
"Well any of you wanna go to the top and see the city? Raise your hand." Desiree asked with a smirk. She looked to see everyone with his or her hands up. "Ok bring your cameras and money. You can leave everything else behind ok? So fallow me!" She motioned with both hands as she got off the bus. Everyone else followed her. She looked at everyone. 'ok I'm getting pretty good at this.' She was referring to leading everyone. "Ok once we get to the top we'll split up into two's ok so no one goes any where-except the bathroom- alone understand?" she waited till people said yes and continued. "that is important because I don't want people getting lost or in trouble ok. Spike and Carder will be by themselves looking around so if you have any questions you can come to any one of us." She pointed to Spike, Carder and herself.
(AN: ok about the money thing I have no idea how to change there money to ours so I'm just saying they got there money changed to Canadian money already.)
Desiree looked at the people as they started to fight with each other on who they were taking. This made Desiree sigh. "Ok sense you cant be adults I'll pair you off." She looked them over and said the pairs oh and Akamaru has to stay in the car because no dogs sorry Kiba.
"Kakashi of course doesn't need a partner so this is the teams:
Naruto and Ten-ten
Neji and Hinata
Sakura and Sasuke
Gaara and Lee
Kiba and me" when she said the second final pair she noticed Lee tense. He walked over and whispered to her.
"Gaara and I don't get alone and everyone else would be to afraid to be Gaara's partner so-"
Desiree cut him off. "There seems to be a problem so this is how it will go:
Naruto and Ten-ten
Neji and Hinata
Sakura and Sasuke
Lee and Kiba
Gaara and myself."
She took a deep breath. "If there is a problem with the partner you were given I'll be glad to tell you to stuff it." She put a fake smile on. She was truthfully upset that they were being intolerant to poor Gaara. "Now there are a lot of stores and an arcade and so much cool stuff so you have 4 hours to have fun. When its time to go I'll announce it on the P.A. system and say where to meat up at." She put her hands together and waked to the tower with people following behind. The tower was tall. It had three main levels there was the top were it was surrounded by a balcony with a fence around the hole thing so you can be outside without being hurt. There was the main floor where the shopping could be dune and finally there was a lower level that had a massive arcade.
Desiree saw Kiba, Lee and Spike run to the arcade, Hinata and Neji went into a book store. Sakura dragged Sasuke into a clothing store. Carder was wondering around. Naruto and Ten-ten took an elevator all the way to the top and she had not a damn clue where Kakashi was.
She looked at the cute red head beside her and smiled. "Well were would you like to go?" she asked happily. She didn't know why the others didn't like him. She liked him. She thought that because he's so quiet that it made them nervous around him.
Gaara was always took in aback when she smiled at him. It was because know one ever smiled at him. Well except for his uncle but that didn't count. "I don't know." Was all he said. He really didn't care ether. He didn't show any emotion on his face.
Desiree thought about how sad he must be. She suddenly had an idea. She would spend the whole time trying to make him happy. She grabbed his hand and jogged to the elevator. She walked in side and pressed the button to the top floor still holding his hand. Purposely mind you.
Gaara was surprised when he was forced to jog. He was even more surprised that she was still holding his hand. He took a nervous gulp and blushed a lot but turned his head away so she couldn't see. "My hand…" he said quietly.
Desiree looked down at the hand she was holding and let go with a smirk. "Look there." She told him.
He looked behind him like she said to do and saw there was a hug window that showed the city as it was going up. It was amazing. He saw houses and small forests. He had to stop himself from gasping. The elevator finally stopped when they reached the top of the glorious tower.

Kiba had dragged poor Lee down the escalator towards the arcade. Lee wasn't even touching the bloody floor. "STOP!" Rock Lee screamed in panic. Kiba didn't hear Lee's pleas. He just ran and started playing as many games he could get his hands on. He was like a child in a candy store. Lee finally got out of Kiba's evil clutches and looked around. He spotted a big pink bear behind the counter. He walked up to it and turned to the person at the counter. "How do I get that?" he pointed at the bear. 'I know Sakura will love it so I'll get it and she'll fall in loved with me' He looked determined.
"Well you have to get 100 tickets." The Teenage girl behind the counter as she blew a bubble with her gum.
"Tickets?" Lee said confused.
The girl giggled. "You win like 5 tickets per a game you play."
"OH! OK I'LL WIN THAT BAER SO SAKURA-CHAN WILL LIKE ME!" Then did his thumbs up nice guy pose. So he ran around playing games.
"O-k." the girl said with a nervous smile.

Hinata was having fun looking at all the books especially the cookbooks. She wanted to one-day cook something for Naruto, something-other then remen. She blushed and smiled widely. 'Naruto-kun.' She said in her head. She took a book out and was looking at it intently.
Neji was looking at a book on pressure points of the human body. He was into the book but his mind kept wondering to a certain brown hired nin girl. He wandered if some guy was trying to pick her up. This made his blood boil. Why he did not know but the thought of some guy putting his hands on his Ten-ten- Neji stood frozen. Did he just think his Ten-ten? Could it be possibly that he-no he wouldn't even think about that. It wasn't even an issue. He had no feelings for Ten-ten other then she was a teammate and a friend. He forced himself to think of something else. He glanced over to his cousin Hinata who for some reason was looking in a book and had a hug blush on her face. He raised an eyebrow. 'She better not be reading what I think she is.'

Sasuke was bored and annoyed. Sakura had dragged him to a clothing store and was now trying something on. He wanted to go to the top of the tower but was stuck here. Sasuke sat in a chair and waited bored out his skull. That was until Sakura stepped out of the dressing room. Then his jaw almost dropped.
"So what do you think?" Sakura was in a white dress that was out lined in dark green leaves. The dress went to her upper thighs. She saw the way Sasuke looked at her and blushed. 'HELL YAH! I LOOK GOOD!' screamed inner Sakura.
"You look-" He didn't know what to say. He was never good a talking about things like that.
Sakura took the lack of a response as a "your ugly". She lowered her eyes and started to cry.
Sasuke panicked. He didn't want her to start to cry because it is annoying, so he hesitated before rapping his arms around her into a hug. "…."
Sakura stood in shock. Sasuke was hugging her! She felt like dying. She rapped her arms around her neck. He crying stopped and she breathed in his sent. She had knots in her stomach.
"You two get a room." Carder said as he walked by. "Don't forget to use protection." He said over his shoulder.
Sasuke's eyes shot open and he took a giant step back. He gritted his teeth at Carder and cursed himself for being cot in a compromising position. He looked at Sakura who could pass for a tomato.

"WOW!" Naruto said as he was looking through the fence. His hands were on it. His blue eyes wide with amazed look across his hansom face.
"I know what you mean." Ten-ten said. Her eyes looking around the area.
"I've never been so high!" Naruto said, as he looked everywhere franticly.
"No duh." Ten-ten said and rolled her eyes.
Naruto scrunched his face. "Why couldn't Sakura be with me instead of you?"
Ten-ten's eyebrow twitched. "AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME BEING YOUR PARTNER!" she yelled. Fists clenched.
Naruto backed up slowly and put his hands up. "Whe-where's nothing wrong with you its just I like Sakura not you Ten-ten." He closed his eyes expecting to get hit, but he opened his eyes when nothing came. He saw Ten-ten leaning on the bar-looking outside to the world below.
"Hey Naruto?" she said not turning to him.
"Yes?" He said nervously
"What do you think of Hinata?" she asked quietly.
"Hinata. Hmmm.." he leaned on he bar but with is back. "She's ok I guess. Shy thou." He turned his head to Ten-ten. "Why?"
She shook her head. " She likes you, you know." She said with a smile.
Naruto was taken aback. His eyes went wide and he got off of the bar. "No she doesn't does she?"
Ten-ten smacked him in the back of the head. "How have you survived this long being that oblivious of things?" She asked mystified.
"HEY!" he said and rubbed his head.
"Why do you think she's always following you, or helping you?" she asked getting annoyed.
"I don't know!" he said and crossed his arms.
"No really how did you survive this long?" she said.

"COME ON!" Desiree was pulling on Gaara's arm. She had a huge smile on her pretty face. She was pulling him around the many shops that were on the main floor. She was having fun and was hopeing he was.
Gaara wouldn't say a thing but was having fun. They had been to the top already witch Gaara loved to no end and played some games, well he watched and she played. But he didn't mind it at all. He was being dragged into a clothing store. His eyes widened when he realized what Desiree was planning to do. "Why are we here?" he asked and glared at her.
"Well seeing as I only saw two pairs of outfits I am going to get you more." She smiled.
He tried to back away but Desiree pulled him in. he huffed and sat down where she told him. It was ridiculous that he was doing what a girl told him to.
She walked away and returned in like ten minutes with her arms full of cloths. She had an evil look on her face. "Ok go in there and try them on!" she demanded. "Pick an outfit you like ok?"
He stood up and was about to refuse when he was shoved into the changing room. He sighed and put on the clothes so she would start yelling out him. Not that he'd care. At lest that's what he told him self.
Desiree was looking at the army designed baggy pants that she had found. She was going to buy them for herself. She looked up when she heard the door open. Her eyes stared in aw but didn't show it. 'Holy shit.' Was all her inner self could say. She looked him over.
Gaara had his eyes closed and head to the side. He had black pants with red lining on the pockets. He had a dull dark red shirt with black sleeves. It was a little baggy but the sleeve's contoured to his sort of muscular arms. He put his hands in his pockets.
"I like it!" Desiree said in with a widening smile. He looked so hansom in it. She felt a bit weak in the knees. She walked over to him and smoothed out his shirt. "You made an great choice." She said in a sweet voice.
Gaara felt nervous. "Thank you." He had turned his head when she had touched him. Her hands on him made his skin grow hot, but didn't know why. What he did know he didn't want that feeling to stop.
"So its like time to go and we should go pay for your cloths." She said.
He got changed to his normal clothing and went with her to the front desk.
"That will be $63:28." The girl at the desk said with a smile.
Gaara looked shocked at how much his cloths and her pants cost. He watched Desiree get her wallet out and pay for them. She took the bag and walked out of the store.
Desiree went to the front desk. "Umm hello is it ok if I use the P.A. for just a second?" she said in the sweetest voice she had.
"Ok as long as its nothing bad I don't think it should be a problem." The cubby man gave her the mic.
"Will the People that came her with Desiree please meat outside in the front the bus will be waiting there. Thank you." She smiled and gave the mic back to him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hen Desiree got out side she noticed everyone except for Spike, Kiba, and Lee at the bus. She sighed and looked at the people that were there. They obviously went shopping seeing as most of them had bags of something beside them.
"HI GUYS!" Said Spike.
"Where have you been-" Sakura said but was cut off by seeing Lee walk up to her and shoved a cute pink bear in her hands. "Wha?" she asked Lee.
"I won that for you." Rock Lee said with a blush. This caused Sasuke to suddenly tense.
"Really?" Sakura said hugging the bear. Lee just nodded. "OH! Thank you."
Desiree saw Spike with a yellow rabbit and decided to teas him. "Is that mine Spike?" she said in a mocking voice.
Spike stuck his tung out. "No this is for my girlfriend Amy." He said.
"You have a girlfriend?" Kiba said walking to the bus.
Before Spike could retaliate Desiree interrupted. "Ok people get on the bloody bus now." She said well pushing Spike on the bus.
Everyone followed and sat down as the bus started to move again.
Desiree looked at Gaara and poked him. "You have fun?" she asked.
Gaara just closed his eyes and put a smirk on. "I do not have fun."
Desiree just smiled. "I had fun too."
