"Hmmm… I need a picture…" Temari came back with a camera and took one picture of the sleeping teens. They were still sleeping on each other, the way she left them last night.
Naruto was still on Takara's legs facing her, his arms everywhere, but he was taking deep breaths, and every time he blew out, her shirt flapped around and then fall back into place. Takara was hugging Naruto's stray arm, her head was still on Konoka's stomach, and a blanket was over one of her leg while some of it was covering Naruto's hair. Konoka's arms were over her head, going over Gaara's half covered stomach, she was kinda hugging Gaara's arm. Gaara however, looked like he moved, because he was using the pillow which was resting on Naruto's legs, using a blanket to cover his top half that Konoka didn't cover, and used the rest of the blanket to cover some of his friends from the cold.
"Gaara got some sleep… that is new… he hasn't sleep since-"
"Temari-sama… your father wishes to speak with you…" a servant bowed to Temari after saying her piece.
"Alright… and quit calling me 'sama'… it's so formal…" Temari waved her hand and the servant left to help cook breakfast.
"Umm… ramen… the sweet nectar of life…" Naruto mumbled in his sleep, licking his lips while sweet dreams of ramen were floating around his head.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Takara… wake up…" Konoka whisper to her sister, shaking her lightly. Takara had something and she wouldn't let it go. Takara just gasp the thing tighter, muttering something that no one heard.
"Konoka… leave me alone… five minutes… my dreams are too sweet to let go…" Takara mumbled messily to her sister. Konoka sighed and shook her roughly.
"Takara… you have something that belongs to Naru-kun and you won't let it go…" Konoka's voice held a bit of laughter in it, giggling when Takara suddenly wake up and scramble to the other side of the room, crashing into the wall and the picture hanging over her fall off the nail and landed on her. Takara clutch her head in pain, cursing under her breath.
"Kami-sama!" Takara muttered.
"Kara-chan…" Gaara yawned, saying her name, rubbing his eyes while he enters the room. His hair was even messier than before.
"What was I holding?" Takara asked with caution, eyeing Naruto who ran his hand through his messy locks. Konoka started giggling, covering her mouth slightly.
"My head… I couldn't get up with you holding me in a head lock…" Naruto yawned, turning his neck and you could hear a small 'crack' and a groan was heard from him. "You got power Takara… gotta spar with you some time…"
"Gaara! Get you and your friends in here soon!" Kankuro called from the kitchen. Konoka then pushed everything on the side and all of them walked to the kitchen, sitting next to each other while chatting away. They agreed to hang out for the day, after they cleaned up and move the stuff into Gaara's room.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Gaaa… what you girls wanna do today?" Naruto stretched his arms into the air, yawning loudly. He hit Takara's head on purpose, making the girl push him into Konoka, making the black and red hair girl fall unto Gaara, who caught her in his arms, while Naruto fell on the ground.
"Heh… nice catch Gaara… Konoka of the day!"
"I'm not a fish!" Konoka playfully and almost lightly slap Naruto's cheek making him flinch, and smile when he opened his eye, wondering were the blow was.
"Who are they?" a yellow hair girl with purple clothes that showed a lot of skin had spoken out loud. A orange hair girl her age, wearing a red kimono and a red bow that holding her hair back was accompanying her.
"My friends Ino!" Naruto smiled like he was claim as the new Hokage. A mean frown graced Ino's face.
"Friends? Naruto has a friend? That's like so impossible!" Ino sneered at Naruto. A loud crack sound came from Takara and Ino and Sakura turned their head to find Takara cracking her knuckles with a murderous glare on her face.
"I… Dare you… to repeat that sentence…" Takara mutter, red chakra surrounding her. Sakura and Ino took one more look at the group and backed off, muttering something about 'crazy people' and walked away.
"COME BACK HERE YOU BI-" Konoka cover her sisters mouth and dragged her to the nearest park, a confuse Naruto and a quiet Gaara following them.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"I see you really haven't tamed that temper… Kara-chan…" Gaara mutter, holding his head up. Takara was sitting on a nice wooden bench with Naruto standing right in front of her.
"You scared them and made them run! Alright Kara-chan!" Naruto gave Takara a high five, grinning at her.
"Yeah… hey Naruto… isn't that the girl you color her hair orange?" Konoka laughed a bit.
"Yeah… could understand why you didn't like her! When I first saw her I thought she was a walking billboard, till I saw it was her forehead!" Takara and Naruto started laughing and Konoka laughed a bit louder, while Gaara just smirked.
"Hey… we might be classmates! Temari-onee-chan said so!"
"That's great… hey… why do you call her onee-chan?"
"Cuz' she's Ga-kuns older sister! Forget it… lets go to the forest!" Konoka pulled Gaara's and Takara's hand, heading towards the nearest forest in Konoha.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Aww… look at the fox!" Takara pointed to a fox that was lying on the ground, under a nice shady tree.
"Oo… pet it Takara! Pet it!" Konoka poke her sister, grinning.
"Nuh-huh! It might bite me!" Takara cross her arms.
Naruto bended down next to it and held his hand over it. The fox sniffed his him and rest his head on the ground again. Naruto started scratching behind his ear, hearing a deep purring sound coming from the fox.
"Hey look… it's bleeding…" Takara told them, lifting its head and feeling liquid on her fingers.
"Poor thing…" Konoka kneel next to her sister, hearing its breath coming in short, soft gasps. Gaara just kneel next to Konoka, watching what the group was doing.
"We should give it more comfort… come on!" Takara cradle the injured fox and gave it to Naruto and they headed towards their home.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"MOM!" Takara shouted, making her mother panic and run from the kitchen with a towel.
"What is it Takara-ko? Oh! Naruto-kun and Gaara-kun! Welcome to our home."
"Thanks…"
"MOM! We gonna borrow a bunch of towels and a basket!" Takara and Konoka ran through the house, opening a lot of doors and slamming them behind them, while Naruto and Gaara was a standing at the door, admiring the house. Naruto couldn't move with a bleeding fox and mess up the house of his best friends, while Gaara just accompany him.
"Thanks! Love you, mean it, bye!" Takara rushed out of the house, her arms filled with towels while Konoka grabbed the boys, a basket tied to her low rider jeans.
"Bye girls! Be safe!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"That was your house?" they were in the woods again. Gaara was leaning on the tree, watching them as Takara and Naruto was putting the basket on the ground and placing the towels around, trying to make the basket more comfortable.
"What? Too small?" Takara asked. Naruto shook his head, his hair whipping his face.
"No! That was cool for a two story house!" Naruto exclaim. Konoka just scoff.
"It's small Naru-kun… compare to Ga-kuns home, it's a cardboard box…" Konoka muttered, crossing her arms. Gaara then went to Konoka and pulled her into his arms, hugging her head from behind like before.
"I told you that you could move in with me…" Gaara half offer, half told his friend and saw her shook her head, her hair flying into her face.
"No… that would be a lot of trouble… and the girls eye me a lot… like I'm the most annoying thing in the world…" Naruto placed the fox into the basket. He and Takara then looked for the shadiest spot and place the basket there for now, till they left.
"You're not…"
"Well… school is gonna open soon again… thank you spring break!" Naruto laughed.
"We should get going… who's gonna take care of the fox?" Takara asked the group and Naruto then seem to explode.
"I will! She will be fine with me for a while!"
'If I remember... it's never safe to let Naru-kun to watch over anything...' Konoka dead-pan her face, remembering.
"Then me and Takara… then Ga-kun… then all over again…" Konoka told them. They all agreed and Naruto happily took the fox home with him, and the groups laugh on the way back, they were still sleeping over at Gaara's house. Remember?
