Hanyou Love

The next morning Ino and Choji woke up in Choji's room. They were confused as to how they got back to their room.

" Um Choji, why are we in the suite?" Ino asked

" I don't know, Ino. The last thing I remember is we were in the gardens and you had fallen asleep. I must have dozed off." Choji answered

With that the door cracked open and Ninjin came hopping in.

" Oh good, you two are awake." Ninjin said

" Ninjin, how did we get back to the suite?" Ino asked

" Well everyone got worried when you two didn't show up for dinner. So, we all split up and searched for you. Of course, the last place we look is were you two were." Ninjin explained smiling, " So, I guess you told each other."

They both blushed and nodded to her question.

" Good because the girls have been trying to get in all morning. But Usagi had me watch to door so you guys could sleep." Ninjin explained, "HEY EVERYONE, THEY'RE AWAKE!" she then yelled

With that the sound of running feet were heard coming towards the door. The cracked door now flew open and Sakura was at the front of the group looking rather angry.

" INO-PIG, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED WE WERE?" Sakura screamed

" SHUT UP FOREHEAD GIRL, I FELL ASLEEP WITH CHOJI AND HE DIDN'T WAKE ME UP!" Ino yelled back

" Yes, you two looked so cute when we found you like that." Usagi interjected to end the fight

This caused the two to blush even further.

" So you finally told her Choji?" Shikamaru asked

" Yep, and thanks Shikamaru." Choji said

" For what? I didn't do anything." He replied

" No, you told me not to worry and just tell her. Thought the Akimichi Butterflies actually told her, your advice helped." Choji explained

" SHIKA-KUN WAS RIGHT! Wait I'm supposes to be the one great with getting people together." Temari said

Shikamaru just shrugged at his baffled girlfriend.

" I've known those two longer than you have Temari. I know what would be the best for them at least." Shikamaru explained

" You used butterflies Choji. That must have been really pretty, Ne Ino?" Hinata asked

" Yeah, it was beautiful." Ino said

The two then explained what happened and asked how they got back.

" Well, when we found you Gaara and Anuki used the sand and carried you back to the suite. We decided it was best to let you sleep and put Ino with Choji." Kitsury explained grinning

After that everyone got ready and headed to breakfast. They had found out that most of the restaurants except for two restaurants not including the ramen stand wouldn't serve the hanyou girls, so they just ate ramen. Which didn't upset Naruto, Kitsury, or Teyachi much. Since it was their last day everyone decided to spend it with their loved one, Kankurou went on as he called it "babe watching". As everyone went their separate ways, Lee went to the training grounds at the Onsen with Usagi and Ninjin following him. Lee started to train his taijutsu and did this for a number of hours, until he got hungry. Usagi had brought some bentos from the snack bar and they sat down for lunch. Ninjin had fallen asleep in Usagi's lap.

" Lee…" Usagi started

" Yes, my princess." Lee answered

" What types of girls do you like?" she asked

" Well… I like girls that are smart, beautiful, and kind. They have to have a good humor and be able to keep up with me. They also must not think badly of others even if they can't do certain things." he answered

" That's very good, Lee." she said, " Um… do you still like Sakura?"

" No, she has Sasuke now. I'll never be able to get her back. They are both good friends now, but I just wish I had someone too." Lee said sadly

" Well… you know, I know someone like you described and she also likes you humor, personality, and your never give up attitude." She said

" You do, who is she?" he asked

" Me silly!" she said giggling

" You?" he said confused

Usagi nodded her head and then Lee fainted.

" Oh no! NINJIN WAKE UP!" Usagi yelled

" Huh, what Usagi? Hey what happened to Lee?" Ninjin asked groggily

" I told him I liked him and he fainted." Usagi explained

" You ding-dong, you overloaded him. That's too much for this boy to handle." Ninjin replied

With that the rabbit moved over to the unconscious Lee.

" So you want me to wake him now?" Ninjin asked

" Yes, please." Usagi pleaded

" Alright." Ninjin said

With that Ninjin hopped on top of Lee's chest and hit him on his face with her ears.

" Oi, turtle boy wake up." Ninjin said

" Huh, oh hi Ninjin. You know I just had the most wonderful dream that Usagi told me she liked me." Lee stated

" She did tell you that and then you passed out." Ninjin replied, " So are you going to give her your answer or leave her hanging?"

" Oh my! YES I'D LOVE TO BE YOUR CHAMPION MY PRINCESS." Lee said

Usagi just giggled, " I guess we'll tell the others this evening." Usagi said

" Well, since everyone's got someone they're doing something with today, how about you and Kit come with me and Akamaru and go do that training you were wanting to do." Kiba said

" That sounds good to me wolf-boy." Kitsury said

" Wolf-boy? Well it's better than dog-boy. I think that makes me sound as if I'm ugly." He said

" Ha-ha! Nope defiantly not a dog-boy and not ugly either." She said

Kiba just smiled at her answer. She was trying to cheer him up and it was working.

" So, ready?" Kiba asked, "Akamaru"

" Whenever, I'll follow you." Kitsury said, "Kit"

With that Kiba, Akamaru, Kitsury, and Inari headed into the woods to the special training grounds the boys had found.

Those two will love this place. It's great to do the training they want and the scenery isn't too bad either. Both boys thought

When they finally arrived they were near a large lake with a huge waterfall. The area was flat, but rocky near the waterfall.

" It's so pretty." Inari said

" Yeah, it's a great place to play around." Akamaru added

" So, what do you think Kitsury?" Kiba asked

Kitsury hadn't answered because of the beauty of the place.

" Oh, Kiba! It's wonderful! But, how are we going to train here?" she asked

" We're not training down here." Kiba said

" So where?" Inari asked

" Up there." Kiba said and pointed to the top of the waterfall.

" Oh ok, so we better get started then." Kitsury said

" Yeah, we'll help you with defense this way." Akamaru said

" How?" Inari asked

" While, you guys are going up, Akamaru and I will attack you from above. Basically you'll only be able to defend yourself, so you don't fall." Kiba explained

" Ok, lets get started then." Kitsury said

" Right, give us a ten minute lead and then you two start." Kiba said

" Kay." Kitsury and Inari said

With that Kiba and Akamaru started jumping up the rocks, ten minutes later Kitsury Inari started up. At first, Kiba threw kunai's and shurikan's at the girls. Kitsury was able to block most of them with her kunai's, but one got past her and headed toward Inari.

" KIT, LOOK OUT!" Kitsury yelled

With that Inari rolled into a ball.

" Demon Blade!" Inari said, her hair then became razors and deflected the kunai.

" That's pretty good fox, but how about this." Kiba said

" Akamaru, catch." Kiba said and tossed Akamaru a soldier pill. The then turned red, true to his name.

" Ready Kiba." Akamaru said

" Jyuujin Bunshin, BEAST MIMICERY TECHNIQUE." Kiba yelled

Next thing the girls saw were two feral looking Kiba's.

" Wow, cool!" Kitsury said

" KYU, DON'T ADMIRE THEY'RE ATTACKING." Inari yelled

" DOUBLE FANG" Kiba yelled and the two started turning and came at them like silver tornados.

" Kit, you take Akamaru, I'll take Kiba." Kitsury said

" Right." Inari said

The two girls were able to block the boys' attack. But, when they started attacking one girl at a time they were overpowered and couldn't fight back. Kitsury started defending herself, along with Inari.

" I'm getting tired of just getting the shit kick out of me. I'm going to try something Kit." Kitsury said

" Don't do anything stupid." Inari said

" You know me." Kitsury said smiling at her.

" Yeah, that's why I said that. But don't use…" Inari said, but she wasn't able to finish.

Kitsury had started the jutsu Inari didn't want her to use.

" FOX SHADOW!" Kitsury yelled

A giant shadow surrounded Kitsury and Inari. Kiba and Akamaru's Double Fang attack couldn't penetrate. The two boys stopped attacking.

" Wow, that's a good defense. Why do they need training in this?" Akamaru asked Kiba

" Because of that, KITSURY!" Kiba yelled

" KIBA, AKAMARU HELP KITSURY!" Inari yelled as she tried to hold up the now unconscious girl.

But she was failing and now both girls were falling. Kitsury's tails flapped in the wind as she quickly descended. Akamaru jumped and caught Inari, while Kiba caught Kitsury. Kiba then laid her on the ground.

" Kit, what was that?" Kiba asked, now worried about his new friend

" Her ultimate defense jutsu, actually her only defense jutsu. Shadow Fox, it takes all her hanyou powers and creates a force field in the shape of a black fox. Only problem is it won't last very long and drains her." Inari explained

" Then why use it?" Akamaru asked confused

" Because I need it and have to make it stronger." Kitsury said waking up

" KITSURY!" Kiba said as he hugger the girl

" I'm alright Kiba." She said her ears perked up because of the boys' actions.

" What is it with your jutsu's making you pass out?" he asked

" If I'm going to use them, I'll use my best ones and end it quickly." She replied

" BUT WHAT IF IT DOESN'T FINISH THEM OFF? YOU'LL BE USELESS TO YOUR FRIENDS. IF WE HADN'T OF SHOWN UP WHEN YOU WERE FIGHTING SHISHI, KIT AND LEAF MIGHT NOT BE HERE NOW." Kiba yelled at her upset at how reckless she could actually be.

" Sorry, Kiba. It's just once I can't take anymore I loose it and go all out." Kitsury explained her ears now drooping along with the rest of her body

" Don't do that again, ok! You had us really worried, I don't know what we would do if we lost you two." Akamaru said to Kitsury who nodded

" Thanks, Akamaru, we'd be lost without you guys too." Kitsury added

" Too true." Inari said

" Well…" Kiba started

" Huh?" the girls said

" If you feel that way…" Akamaru added

" Yeah" Kitsury said

" Will you stay with us then?" Kiba asked

" Stay with you? " Inari was confused, " You mean be with you all the time?"

" Yeah." The two boys said

The next thing the boys knew they were both lying on the ground with the girls on top of them. Inari was licking Akamaru and Kitsury was hugging Kiba with her tail waving wildly behind her.

" I was wondering when you'd finally ask us?" Kitsury said

" You knew?" Kiba said shocked

" Yeah, could smell it on you." Kitsury said, " We'll be happy to stay with you two. It'll be fun living in Konoha with Naruto and Hinata."

" Yeah." Kiba said

" So, when do you want to tell the other?" Kitsury asked

" How about at dinner that's when we're all suppose to meet up." Kiba said

" Sound good to us." Akamaru and Inari said

Back in the Suite

" Hey Gaara, how about we go to the Onsen?" Anuki asked

" Ok." Gaara replied

" You two go I'm going to stay in the room. I'll see you at dinner." Leaf said

" Alright, see you later Leaf." Anuki said, " Bye"

The two waved to the Tanuki and left to head to the Onsen.

" So, which one do you want to go to?" Gaara asked

" The public one." Anuki said smiling

" Isn't that the one men and women are naked in?" he questioned

" Yeah, but you can cover with a towel." She explained

You go girl! Shukaku thought

" Oh, ok." Gaara said

As long as Kankurou isn't there I won't have any problems. He thought

When they got to the co-ed area, the two went into the locker rooms to change. They then headed out to wash themselves. All of this was separate, so they decided to meet up with each other at the indoor Onsen.

Man, I wish this were co-ed too. I wouldn't mind washing Gaara. Anuki thought, Down Anuki, you have to be good. You're trying to get him to like you, not make him think you're a stalker.

I don't know about this, she did say that I could use a towel. So, that's what I'll do. Most of the men are doing that. I hope the girls are, especially Anuki. Gaara thought as a little bit of blood started to come out of his nose.

" What's this? Blood? That's strange, must be the heat in here." Gaara said

He then walked out to meet Anuki. Unlike Gaara, Anuki had no problem being in front of others, even the opposite sex in her birthday suit.

Daaaamn, she is fine. Now I wish I did have a body. Shukaku thought

" You ready Gaara-kun?" Anuki asked as she walked to one of the indoor Onsen'

Gaara just stood there. Anuki had just come out without anything covering her and he froze. Not from shock, but from amazement at how utterly beautiful she was.

" She's filled out in all the right places isn't she cub? You sure you don't want her as your mate now?" Shukaku questioned Gaara

I still don't know. Looks aren't everything. He told the demon

" I don't know what else you want cub? She likes you even though you have me. She's strong, but could be stronger with your help. She's drop dead gorgeous with only eyes for you. I don't understand you at all cub." Shukaku stated

Just let me be! Gaara told his annoying tenant

Gaara turned to find the Onsen Anuki had gone into. He saw that most of the girls weren't using their towel like Anuki. Also noticed there were a couple of boys trying to talk to her but she'd either ignore them or give them a death glare.

" Well Shukaku, I'll give her a point for intimidation. That look could kill a dead man. I've used it many time." He said

Anuki then saw Gaara hadn't followed her. She then ran up to him and hugged him. This caused Gaara to turn blood red. If it weren't for the lack of clothing the demon holder would have been able to keep his composure.

" Um… Anuki." He started

" Oh! Sorry Gaara-kun. It's a habit." She said quickly releasing the blood red boy

" It's ok, let's just get into the Onsen." He said

With that Gaara followed Anuki back to the Onsen she had just gotten out of.

" Ooh, this feels so good." Anuki said

" Yeah, it does." Gaara added

" You wanna massage Gaara?" she asked

" Um…ok." He replied and Anuki squealed

I get to give Gaara-kun a massage. Of only I could do more, but we're in public. She thought, No must be good!

After that they both became quiet for a long time. Gaara was starting to get worried, Anuki was never this quiet and it was very unnerving to him.

" Anuki, you alright. You're rather quiet back there." Gaara said

" Yeah, just think about you and Shukaku." She replied, with that Gaara turned around to face her.

" Why are you thinking about us?" he asked

" Because of everything you two have had to go through. Up until you found friends." She explained

" Anuki, it's alright. It's wasn't that bad." Gaara lied looking into the water

" Don't lie to me Gaara! Temari told me about what your childhood was like." Anuki said angrily as tears started falling down her face, " You had no one! Your father didn't even love you and caused your mother's death and your uncle betrayed you. Your sibling were scared to death of you most of their lives and if it hadn't been for Naruto you'd still be like that." This caused Gaara to look at Anuki again.

" How did you know about Yashamaru?" he questioned

" I told you Temari!" She answered, "You've been alone for so long. Like Naruto, but your different."

" Yeah, I know. Naruto is kinder than me." He replied

" What are you talking about? You both are kind, it's just you won't open up, unlike Naruto. Why won't you at least open up to me?" she asked

" It's hard for me to do that with how I was treated for so long. It's hard for me to trust people. I know you care about me; I just don't know how I feel about you. If you could give me a little more time." he explained

After Gaara had finished Anuki was smiling.

" What?" he asked confused by her reaction to his explanation

" Don't you know what you just did?" she asked

" No." he answered

" You told me how you feel." She replied

" I did, didn't I?" He stated

" Do you feel better now?" she asked

" A little, thanks Anuki." He said and with that hugged her she then started crying again.

" Why are you crying now?" he asked confused

" Because you've accepted me as a friend." She answered

" It's more than that now." He whispered to himself

Shukaku you win, I'll watch them. he thought

" Took you long enough." Shukaku said

Then they both heard someone yelling Gaara's name.

" HEY BRO! WHO'S THE HOT GIRL?" Kankurou yelled, "Thought you had a thing for Anuki."

" This is Anuki you baka." Gaara stated angrily, this was the one person he was hoping he wouldn't see today.

" NANI!" Kankurou yelled at him

" Hi Kankurou, what's up?" Anuki asked

" Anuki is that really you?" Kankurou asked he was in shock at how pretty the girl was.

" Yeah, Who did you think I was? Some bimbo hanging with Gaara?" she asked

" Well…" Kankurou started, but received a death glare from Gaara, "Never mind. So, can I join you guys?" he added

Before Gaara could say no, Anuki answered.

" Sure fine with us." Anuki said

" Cool, maybe you can help me with something." Kankurou asked the girl

" With what?" she asked

" I want to get a girl, but no one will even talk to me." Kankurou told her

" I'll help, but you have to go along with what I change. I'll only help with the look, you're on your own after that Gepetto." She said

She then took her towel and put it into the water and then moved close to Kankurou.

" Anuki, hold it." Gaara said

" What's wrong Gaara-kun?" she asked

" Let me talk to my brother for a minute." He said

" Ok." She replied and backed away

" Kankurou if you try anything, Sasuke won't have to worry about your stupid pranks on Sakura anymore. Got it!" Gaara whispered

Kankurou saw he wasn't kidding around and just nodded his head. Though he knew Anuki was off limits, she even warned him about it. When Gaara moved away Anuki came up with her towel and took it to Kankurou face.

" Hey! My make-up." Kankurou said

" Ok done, now go find a girl." She said and returned to Gaara

" Not yet, I've got a question for Gaara now. How do you get the girls to go gaga over you?" Kankurou asked

" I don't know? They just do." Gaara said

It was then Anuki started giggling at both boys and they looked at her.

" You mean you can't figure that one out? It's easy." She answered

" Ok, Miss "I Know Everything About Gaara", then how does he do it?" Kankurou asked

" It's not Gaara that does it." She said

This got a "Huh?" from both boys.

" It's the Shukaku. Well at least it was until I showed up." She explained

" YOU MEAN SHUKAKU HAS BEEN MAKING MY LITTLE BROTHER A CHICK MAGNET?" Kankurou yelled

" Yeah, I thought it was obvious. Didn't you wonder why no girls have attacked him yet?" she asked

" What do you mean yet?" Gaara asked her

" Gaara, when I told you Temari told me everything. She told me EVERYTHING! Even about the models you had hanging on you the last time you guys were here. She even told me about the incident with Kankurou and Dodongo." She explained

This turned both boys red from embarrassment.

" You knew about the last time we were here?" Gaara asked

" Yep, once Temari told me what happed I figured it was Shukaku, so no biggy." She said

Yeah, she's definitely the one for me Shukaku. Thanks. Gaara thought

" No problem, cub." Shukaku said

Time passed and Kankurou went to talk with some girls. No one wanted to leave with him, but he did get a couple of phone numbers. It started getting late, Gaara and Anuki decided it was time to head back and get cleaned up for dinner. Earlier that morning, Gaara and Naruto had found another restaurant that didn't know about the girls and made reservation. As the two were walking back to the locker rooms Anuki yelled at Gaara.

" GAARA-KUN, WATCH OUT!"

There was someone running and he ran into him. They collided so hard that Gaara lost his grip on his towel and dropped it. The person who collided with him was…

"KANKUROU!" Gaara yelled angrily

" GAARA! I'm really sorry. I didn't mean too. I swear bro." Kankurou said scared that he was about to be killed.

It was then that whistling could be heard. The two boys turned and saw it was Anuki who was also grinning from ear to ear.

" THANK YOU KANKUROU!" she yelled

This caused Gaara to turn blood red and look at his brother again.

" I really didn't mean it! This girl wanted another towel and…" Kankurou stopped, " Oh never mind, just kill me now."

" Oh I'm not going to kill you." Gaara said picking up his towel and covering himself up again.

This got an upset " Awed" from Anuki

" You own me big time. I don't know when or were, but if I ask you for something you better do it!" Gaara said calmly.

Kankurou just nodded his head.

" Good! We're going back to get ready for dinner. The reservations are at 7 PM. If you are going to eat with us, you better come back to the suite soon." Gaara explained and Kankurou just nodded his head again.

With that Gaara entered the locker room and Kankurou collapsed on the floor, surprised he was still alive. Thirty minutes later, Kankurou went to the locker rooms and headed back to the suite. He was going to try his best to avoid Gaara at all cost until they retuned to Konoha.
