CH 2

All is revealed

AI looked at the two coolly. Kankuro started out, " Why did Hinata want you to run away with me?"

"I was abused by her father because I'm only 1/16 Hyuggan and more of a genius than Neji." Ai replied. "I am in your debt Kankuro…Thank you…"

Naruto tilted his head to one side. "So…were you let out often or?"

"No…only on my birthday, this is today…" Ai looked outside and smiled. "But I had to stick with Hinata…."

Kankuro looked shocked. He stood up and checked the tag on her outfit. "Come on Naruto…We're going shopping…" He dragged his friend out and looked at Ai. "You can do something while we're gone but stay in the house…Okay?" He winked at her and smiled.

Ai watched the two leave and looked around. She noticed a dummy and a couple of other objects. But most of all…the house was messy.

She got up and started to clean. Having been raised in isolation from the rest of the family, she knew how to take care of it all. She cleaned the room first and then the kitchen and organized the plates and food. She pitched out any expired food and made a note of what she tossed out.

Finally, after about two hours of shopping, Kankuro and Naruto came home with 4 boxes of presents and a small cake. "This is only a small party. Once we get to Suna I promise-WHAT THE FUCK?"

Both boys stared in disbelief at the now-cleaned house. AI rested on the couch, looking at the boy's for some sort of good reaction. What she got was Naruto hugging her tightly and repeated "Thank you". Kankuro set the presents down on the table and pulled Naruto off and looked at Ai in disbelief. "Ah…lets have that party….do you like a particular song you like?"

Ai shook her head, and Kankuro sighed, popping a CD of his into the CD player Naruto had. He flipped to a random song and it started to play.

Ai poked at the smallest of the gifts and looked at the boys oddly. "Please explain…what a party is…"

"Well…a party is a thing where a bunch of friends come together and have fun and celebrate for some occasion….Right now its your birthday…" Kankuro sat down, taking off his hat and wiping the paint off with the back of his sleeve. " Kankuro…you have…a handsome face…" AI said, touching his cheek. Kankuro blushed, what was this girl saying? He looked like his father...he was ugly…

"Thank you…but I'm not that handsome…" Kankuro gently took her hand in his and pushed it back. He was blushing madly…he felt warm inside…it was a feeling he felt long ago…if the protection of his mother's arms…What was it?

"Hey, Ai! Open this one first! Open it!" Naruto shoved a box into Ai's hands and smiled. It was the second largest box. Ai, sat back on the couch and opened it. A long blue Chinese dress fell out. It was embroidered in gold with dragons on it. A long slit was from her waist down on both sides, so the boys included matching shorts. "It's beautiful…" She noticed a blue bun-holder in the box as well. "I-I'll be right back!" she stuttered, rushing into the room.

She came back in five minutes wearing the outfit and had her hair in a bun. The strip of blue stuck out and she smiled. Kankuro saw her other eye, which had a cross-scar over it.

But other than the scar, she was drop-dead sexy! He almost dropped the gift he picked out for her, which was the small concealed one.

"You look like a goddess! You can kill with that look alone!" Naruto flirted, getting Kankuro railed up. Kankuro picked out another box and shoved it to her, giving Naruto the 'back-off' glare.

Ai sat down and opened the box. It was a set of Ninja weapons and a small hip pouch to carry them in. "Naruto picked that out…"Kankuro said, smiling. "We picked out two together and two by ourselves…"

"You didn't have to-" "Of course we had to! It was your first birthday party!" Naruto interrupted. Ai nodded slowly and opened another box. A wooden flute. "I saw Hinata at the store and she said that you like to play the wooden flute so…"Naruto said, smiling. Ai picked it up. It was cherry wood and was light. She started to play a haunting melody as the words came to her mind.

A rare beauty in the North...
She's the finest lady on earth
A glance from her, the city falls
A second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins
There is no city or nation that has been
More cherished than a beauty like this

Naruto smiled at her. "And Kankuro has one for you too!" Kankuro looked at the gift and hid it. "I will wait to give it to you once you come to live with us. For now, its time to go to bed…" Kankuro got up and yawned, going off to Naruto's room, with the kitsune following. Ai cleaned up the mess and finished just as Kankuro returned with a pair of Naruto's pj's. "You don't mind sleeping on the couch do you?" Kankuro asked, and Ai shook her head. "No thank you, I don't mind at all. Night…"

She changed into the sleepwear and laid on the couch, pulling the covers over her.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Kankuro were discussing about Ai.

"Come on Kankuro! You love her!"

"Shut up! DO not!
"You do! Otherwise you wouldn't have minded if I flirted with her!"
"She didn't look comfortable!"

"Kankuro and Ai, sitting in a tree-"

"Shut up before I kill you!"

Naruto chuckled at his friend. "Have a good luck going home with a hot chick…"Naruto laughed, going to bed. Kankuro mumbled something about how he hated stupid brats.

A/N: I do not own Naruto…BUTI OWN THE THREE SANNIN! YAH KANKURO!
Yes Kankuro needs more love…T.T. Oh well…more soon! Oh btw…its only rated M for the language and some sex later..much later…
