Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. But, I probably could if I um, bought it. All I need now is a couple hundred thousand dollars, maybe a couple million, and um… does anyone know what else I'll need? Or a couple hundred thousand dollars to start me off?
The New Annoyance
Keitorin woke the next morning with a pounding headache. She woke up before Temari for once.
She poured herself a bowl of cereal and was about to get a spoon when she saw Temari coming up.
"Ohayougozaimasu, Keitorin," Temari greeted.
"Gu-tenmorugen, Temari," Keitorin answered.
"Kakashi-sama came last night," Temari informed Keitorin.
"Oh jeez, really?" Keitorin asked.
"Yep. You gotta train Naruto," Temari said.
"Unchi," Keitorin said.
Temari giggled a bit. "It could be worse, Keitorin."
"Yeah, he's nice and everything, but he's such a pain! He's like your neighbor's puppy! So cute and hyper and innocent, but when you get to know him it's like jigoku," Keitorin replied.
"Oh well. Sucks for you!" Temari answered cheerily.
"Mesui- Baka!" Keitorin almost let herself slip. Note to self: Do not call the Kazekage's sister a bitch!
Temari noticed her slip. "Hahahaha, sucks for you!
"Okay, shut up, Temari!"
"Make me!"
"Okay, fine, I'll- I'll- uh, I'll… I'll rip up your letter!" Keitorin grabbed an envelope from the table.
"What? Keitorin, give me that!"
"You gotta say please!" Keitorin waved the letter in front of Temari's face.
Temari reached for her fan.
"Yikes! Temari, here!" Keitorin pushed the letter in front of Temari's face.
Temari grabbed the letter and shoved it into her pocket.
"Anyways, did Sensei say when I as supposed to train Naruto?" Keitorin asked.
"Uh… Yeah, around three o' clock on days that we don't have practice."
"Do we have practice today?"
"Nope!"
"Unchi…"
"Aren't you going to eat, Temari?"
"Nope, I'm eating out with Kiba."
"Oh. Okay. Wutcha gonna wear?"
"Mmmm… I dunno. Nothing too much, just something different."
"Ooh, come on Temari, I know just what to get you!"
The girls ran out of the house and into a shop about two blocks away.
Keitorin looked around a bit and pulled out an outfit for Temari.
It was a dark yellow tank top with a dark blue-green color long sleeved shirt that attached to the top of the yellow shirt with sleeves that flowed out and a short blue-green skirt.
"Oh, Keitorin, that's perfect!" Temari sighed.
The two girls rushed over to get Temari ready.
While Temari was getting ready, Kiba knocked at the door. Keitorin let him in and told him Temari would be right out. Kiba sat on the couch and saw Temari's letter. He checked to make sure Keitorin wasn't looking and he pocketed it.
Temari came out and she was absolutely beaming.
"Temari, you look absolutely beautiful," Kiba said.
"Thank you, Kiba!" The two walked out the door arm in arm.
Keitorin sat down on the couch. She sighed. She was in for a fairly boring day.

The door opened and Temari came back by herself looking very angry.
"Temari what happened?" Keitorin asked.
"He took my letter!" Temari answered.
"What? You mean the one that I threatened to rip this morning?" Keitorin asked.
"Yes. You see, when I was in Suna, there was this boy that really liked me and I decided to go out with him to see if I liked him back. I told him I didn't but he won't take no for an answer. So Kiba goes and reads my mail and gets the wrong picture, so that's the last we're going to see of Kiba in a while!" Temari said angrily. She wiped away tears of anger.
"Oh, Temari, don't be so upset. Everything happens for a reason. It's nothing that you can't fix, and if you don't want to, then that's telling you something. Can you imagine what your life would be like dating only one person? I'm probably going to break up with Sasuke, it's bound to happen," Keitorin soothed.
Temari suddenly smiled. So finally admit that he's your boyfriend?"
Keitorin sighed. "Yup."
"Well, why didn't you before?" Temari asked.
"Because, boyfriends and girlfriends break up," Keitorin said. "I know that sounds dumb, but I was just hoping that if I didn't actually call him my boyfriend, then when we fight it wouldn't hurt so badly."
"Hm. Now what do you wanna do?" Temari asked.
"Wanna go annoy Hinata?"
"Sure, let's go! Just lemme change first."

By the time Temari and Keitorin got to Hinata's house, it was twelve. They knocked on the door.
"Oh, h-hello!" Hinata said.
"Do you want to do something, Hinata? Maybe have a lunch in the park?" Keitorin asked.
"Sure, th-that sounds good," Hinata said. She turned and yelled to someone that she was leaving.
The girls all left and went back to Keitorin's house for plates and things that they should have brought before.

At four o'clock, Keitorin sighed. "I've got to go meet Naruto."
"Wh-what?" Hinata asked politely, although it was clear that she didn't like the idea.
"I'm training him, Hinata, relax," Keitorin said quickly.
"Oh. I'll c-come," She said brightly.
"Okay. Temari, are you coming, too?" Keitorin asked.
"Why would I come?" Temari asked.
"Well, what else have you got to do?" Keitorin asked.
"Good point," Temari replied, getting up and following them.

"Okay, Naruto, let the tort- uh, training begin!" Keitorin said as soon as they got there.
"Um, okay…" Naruto said a bit sheepishly.
"Uh, we'll be doing taijutsu today," Keitorin said.
"There's just one thing I want to now, Keitorin-san?" Naruto said.
"What?" Keitorin flashed him a smile.
"Uh, you don't happen to have that excruciatingly painful and evil liquid with you, do you?"
"Well, first off, it's called Ishokubutsu, and second of all, I always have it."
"Chiku- What do you think, people are just going to drop dead in the middle of the street!"
"Naruto, let me tell you Ishokubutsu is not very easy to come across in the liquid form. It's this solid, squishy think that you put in your mouth and you chew on and your mouth fills up with sticky liquid from the actual thing and it tastes horrible. I have to find Ishokubutsu, by going to a bazaar or by other means, put it in a fire, crush it to bits in a day after it is boiling hot, put the liquid that comes out over fire to disinfect it, get my flask in boiling hot water to disinfect that, and I need to get the liquid in the flask, so if you want me to just get solid Ishokubutsu instead, I'll be happy to, it makes my life a lot easier!"
"Erm, Keitorin, you- didn't answer my question. I asked why you carried the stuff all the time, not-"
"Naruto, stop talking before I shove the flask down your throat!"
"Yipe! Yes Keitorin-sama!"
"Alright, Naruto, now show me what you know in taijutsu."
"Well, first I do this," Naruto did the hand seals for shadow clone jutsu.
"WRONG!" Keitorin barked.
Naruto stopped. "But I-"
"I said taijutsu. That's ninjutsu. Stick to one, Naruto."
"But I-"
"I know, you usually use shadow clone jutsu, and then use various taijutsu or weapons. But that takes a lot of chakra, more than you realize."
"But I-"
"And; if you are in an actual battle and you are already low on chakra, you might use that out of instinct. Taijutsu uses less chakra, you see."
"But I-"
"I know, some taijutsu attacks take a bit of chakra, but there are others that don't, Naruto."
"But I-"
"I know, it's hard to t-"
"Keitorin! That isn't what I was going to say! I was going to say, I-"
"Well, Naruto, you could have told me what you were going to say, but it's rude to interrupt, you know!"
Naruto twitched. "Just- just go."
"Alright, we've got a lot to do…"
Two hours later Keitorin and Naruto were on the ground pretty scratched up.
"How do you feel, Naruto?" Keitorin asked.
He groaned.
"Can you get up, or have you used too much chakra?" She had just gone through two hours with only a five minute break of working Naruto.
"No, believe it!"
"Okay, Naruto, come here!" Keitorin slowly lifted Naruto up because he was heavy. She leaned him on her and had to catch her breath and nearly fell over.
She looked over to where Temari and Hinata were looking, because they both just gasped. She followed their gaze to a very, verry pissed off Sasuke.
"Oh, hello, Sasuke-kun!" Keitorin chirped. Maybe if I don't sound guilty, he'll think that nothing happened.
"K-Keitorin," Sasuke said stoically.
Keitorin pushed a very frightened Naruto off of her, who promptly fell on his face. He opened his mouth to say something, but Keitorin was close to tears, so he closed it.
"Sasuke, listen, I can explain it, it's not what it looks like, you see Sens-" Keitorin closed her mouth when Sasuke held up his hand for silence. Keitorin felt a chill run through her body.
"Keitorin, I thought…" Sasuke found himself at a loss of words, so he said the only thing he could. "Goodbye, Keitorin."
"Good- goodbye? Goodbye? I need to! Sasuke, if you would just…" Keitorin closed her mouth when she saw Sasuke turn and start to walk away.
She clenched her fists, angry now, and yelled at him, "Goodbye! GOODBYE, SASUKE!"
Sasuke kept walking.
He heard everything that Keitorin said. He turned around the corner and then it hit him.
What did I just do? The little voices inside his head were screaming at him. Was that bad?
Keitorin fell to her knees, but she didn't cry. She wanted to, oh how she wanted to, but she didn't.
"Come on, Naruto, Hinata'll take you home," She said. Hinata nodded in agreement, and there was silence.
Okay, that seemed harsh and stupid, but I have my reasons. Can you honestly believe that the first person you've dated, or the ONLY person you've dated is going to be the person you marry? Uh, I'm not saying that they will get married, by the way, but some of you people like to fantasize, and that's more of an excuse. I was getting bored with Sasuke. AndKeitorin is almost completelyentirely based off of me.Just Review, okay? Anywho... My document uploader is broken, nothing too major, at least I hope not. I've only got upto chapter 22 up (I actually finished typing thewhole story ) and till it gets un-broken, otherwise known as fixed, soon.
