Okay, here's where the story really begins. I hope it's ok and thank you for the reviews. This time it's longer! YA! ok...on with it then.

'I'm so fucking bored…'

This was about the hundredth time that thought had crossed Tenten's mind. And it didn't seem like it was going to stop anytime soon. Eyes closed, her feet dragging her to…who knows where, she pulled out a kunai and began twirling it through her fingers. She let out a sigh and opened one eye. The streets were slightly crowded. Not that she expected a lot of people out here, it was 6:30ish already. She opened both eyes and stared at the already darkening sky. Dark clouds covered it, making it seem even later than it really was. To Tenten, this was a beautiful night. It meant it was going to rain again.

'I hope it rains hard…'

Closing her eyes once again she brought her head back down. Getting bored with twirling the kunai, she puts it away. Then…she felt a soft wind rustle her bangs.

"Tenten…"

The voice was soft…softer than a whisper. The wind remained…only it didn't feel like anything normal. She stopped dead in her tracks as she felt warmth against her cheek. Subconsciously, she leans into it…but it's only wind. As she turns around the wind subsides. Bringing a hand up, she touches her cheek.

"What the hell was that?" Tenten muttered

She had been wondering about the mysterious warm wind that seemed to follow her everywhere since this morning. It was weird the way it felt so…human-like at the training grounds. What kind of wind could feel so real? She recalled the way it had grabbed her hips…the way it felt when she could feel it under her shirt. The way it had slowly traced up and down her stomach. The way—arg, stop! She felt herself shiver and then she shook her head. Anyways, yeah…it wasn't any normal wind. Looking up she realized she stopped in front of a bar. Smirking, she opens the door and walks in.

'I could use a couple of shots right now…'

Kankuro's POV

"Could I get another?" I asked raising my now empty glass. I gave a nod of thanks and let out a sigh. Temari and I had got here early this morning and I was completely tired and bored. Temari told me to meet her here and I've been here ever since this morning. Where the hell did she go anyways? She seemed pretty…I don't know…excited when we got here. Not that I blame her or anything, I mean a week in Konoha on vacation is exiting. It's going to fun, catching up with our old friends and all. I wonder if anybody will recognize me without my cap and without the purple paint on my face. I highly doubt it... nobody has ever really seen me without them. I can't believe I let Temari talk me into not wearing them. Damn, now I regret it.

"Could I get 4 shots of Bacardi please? Thanks…"

Turning my head to the side I recognized the owner of the voice. I watched as she took two of her shots and she sighed. Oh, what was her name…Tin…Tan…Ten…Tenten! Ha, I remembered! What the hell was she doing here of all places?

"You're Tenten, right?" I asked casually. She looked at me curiously and raised one eyebrow.

"Um, do I know you?" she asked slightly confused. Figures…no cap, no paint…damn you, Temari, damn you.

"I'm Kankuro, one of the Sand Siblings. Ring any bells?" I asked. I watched as she tried to remember. I now completely regret listening to Temari. Where the hell was she anyways?

I felt something cover my head. I pulled down on the flaps on the side of my head. I know this hat…I reached to touch the top. I knew it! My cap!

"Picture him with this cap on and purple paint." A voice said.

I looked up to find Temari smiling down at me. "I so take back anything bad I thought about you, Temari." I said with a smile.

Temari's POV

"I knew you'd at least want your cap here so, I figured I bring it." I said flatly.

"Wow, you look really different without the paint and cap…" Tenten said and smiled. She looked up at me and smiled. "Temari…how've you been?" Her voice had a hint of shyness to it. It was cute.

"I've been good…it's…good to see you again, Tenten." I responded while smiling.

Kankuro smiled and began to explain to Tenten why we were here and so forth. I looked up when I felt her eyes on me. Her brown eyes looked up when she realized I was looking at her as well. We made eye contact and held it until she looked down, a light blush on her face. I smirked and finally looked at Kankuro and found that he order another shot. He asked Tenten if she could hand me her other shot.

"Yea, sure…" She grabbed the nearest one and put her hand out to hand it to me. I moved from behind Kankuro and grabbed it. Our fingers brushed and I kept my hand there for a second, enjoying the simple touch. She brought her eyes to mine and smirked and brought her hand down. I felt myself blush slightly as she kept my gaze. The look in her eyes…and the way she was smirking…damn it, why am I blushing? I closed my eyes and said a quick thanks.

"Cheers." She raised her shot glass and quickly downed it. Kankuro and I raised our own glasses and downed it just as quickly. I felt the liquor run down my throat, the burning sensation running down to my stomach. I opened my eyes and smiled.
