Haku:-eating M&M's-

Kankuro:Hey, those are mine!-tackles Haku-

Jake:Great...


Hidden Sand Village: Outskirts, 9:47 P.M.


"Heh, these guys are pretty tough, eh, Gaara?" Kankuro was standing in between his younger brother, Gaara, and his older sister, Temari, trying to hold back three jounin, one from the Rain village, one from Stone, and the last from Cloud. The Stone ninja called to the Sand trio, "As I said, we need to speak to theKazekage, it's urgent." Temari shot back, "He's not here, so give us the message." She was angry. The intruders interupted her training, so she was ready to kill them. The Rain ninja stepped up. "Fine then. My name is Hienn, the Stone ninja is Jakarta, and the Cloud ninja is Nekoa, and..." Gaara cut in. "Hurry up, I'm getting irritated." Jakarta continued," The Tsuchikage and Raikage have broken the Matis Treaty, and are planning on attacking the Leaf, Mist, Sand and Sound villages. The Grass, Waterfall, and most of the Rain ninja have sided with them." Kankuro said nonchalantly, "And that matters to us how?" Nekoa answered, "It matters because they could attack you." The Sand trio was silent, and Gaara said, "Alright. Kankuro, warn our village. Temari, go with Jakarta to the Sound village. I'll go to the Leaf village by myself." Hienn asked,"I guess me and Nekoa go to the Mist village?" Gaara simply nodded. "Let's go!" Gaara shouted as the six went their respective ways.


Konoha: Yukiee and Aoi's treehouse, 10:34 P.M.


Yukiee and Aoi were frantically getting ready for their blind meetings with the girls of their dreams, Hinata(for Yukiee) and Sakura(for Aoi). "Damn, where's the hair gel?" Aoi asked of his friend. "On my desk, numbnuts."Yukiee answered back. The two were dressed in their Chunin outfits and were ready to go. They sat down on the futon and decided to talk for a bit. "So,what do you think their reactions will be?" Yukiee asked. He was very unsure of himself. Aoi answered, "I dunno," he wasn't sure either. "Probably they'll be shocked, I think." They were both excited and nervous, hoping for the best. "Hey, let's watch TV 'til quarter past eleven, then we'll get goin'." Yukiee suggested. "Good idea." Aoi turned on the TV as the two watched Full Metal Alchemist.(Haku: Whoo! FMA!)


Konoha: Sakura's house, 10:51 P.M.


Sakura was giddy, and why shouldn't she be? She's got a blind meeting at midnight and having the hardest time thinking who it is. "It might be Naruto, but he doesn't write that nicely. Or maybe Lee, but I don't think he's that romantic. Or Sasuke, maybe he did it!" He smiled as she picked out a miniskirt to wear with the blouse for her meeting with destiny. "Or maybe," she thuoght, "It's that Chunin, Aoi. I mean, he's nice, funny, and strong. Maybe he has a romantic side?" Just then, her mother called. "Sakura, time for bed!" "Ok, mom!" She hung up her clothes and got in pj's. Her mom checked to make sure she was sleeping, then left to her room. Sakura sat up ten minutes later, got dressed into the clothes she picked, and left for the riverside.


Konoha: Hinata's house, 11:02 P.M.


Hinata peeked out of her bedroom door, and looked left and right. She was dressed normally and ready to meet her poet at the bridge. Only one obstacle stood in her way, her father and sister, training near her only exit. "Ok, I have to do this..." she thought to herself, as she creeped out her door. She sneakily walked down the hall, towards the front door. Her father and sister were busy training, so they couldn't hear her. "Alright, now I just have to..." then she froze. Hanabi and their father walked out of the training room. Hinata panicked, then hid in the bathroom. They walked by, not noticing Hinata's heavy breathing. As soon as their footsteps died out, Hinata went back on the move. She slipped out the front door, and started for the bridge, the moonlight guiding her. "I wonder who it is..." she thought. "Maybe it's Naruto, or maybe not. Maybe it's Yukiee, he's really sweet to me, maybe he wrote it!" She blushed at the thought as she contiued for the bridge.


Fire Country: Fire-Sound border, 11:09 P.M.


Jakarta and Temari were talking as they were crossing the border into the Sound village. "So then, Gaara turned around to slug Kankuro, and he fell flat on his face!" Temari told her new friend, who laughed. "Is Gaara always that clumsy?" Jakarta asked. "No, he's as graceful as a drunk."Temari jokingly told him. Jakarta smiled, then asked,"Temari, how old are you?" Temari smacked him, then answered, "Don't ask such a direspectful question, but if you must know, I'm fifteen." He rubbed his face, then said to her, "Well, I'm seventeen, and I'm single..." Temari butted in. "Are you trying to ask me to be your girlfriend?" She thought, "I hope so, cause you're hot!" He went flushed, then studdered,"W-Well, yeah, if ya would, I mean I don't mind if you say..." She cut in again. "Yes, of course!" She glomped him, and smiled. "Really?" he asked, uncertain. "Really." She answered, pulling him up and smiling. "Well, awesome." Jakarta picked her up on his back, then said, "On to the Sound village!" He ran towards their destination, as Temari laughed.


Konoha: Riverbank, 11:51 P.M.


Aoi was sitting on the riverbank, waiting for Sakura to arrive. He threw pebbles into the river, biding his time. Sakura walked up to the top of the riverbank and saw the sillouette of mystery man. She looked at him, then smiled. Sakura walked down and sat down next to him. "Hi, Aoi!" He fell over, startled. "Uh, hi, Sakura! U'm...there's something I wanna tell you, but I don't know how to say it." She smiled, "Well take a shot." He calmed himself. "Ok. Well for a while, I've been watching you and over that ime, I've developed a crush, so I left you that note to ask you...if...you'd be my girlfriend." He quickly said the last part of his explination, then looked her in the eyes. Sakura was silent for a long time, then she said, "I dunno what to say, I mean, you're very sweet to me, Aoi, but...alright, why not?" She smiled, then kissed her new boyfriend on the cheek. Aoi nearly fainted, then said, "Wanna stay at my place?" He smiled as he helped her up. "Alright, Aoi-kun!" She grabbed his hand as they ran off to his house.


Konoha: Moon Bridge, 12:02 A.M.


Hinata arrived at the bridge, but no one was there. She frowned at the idea that it was a prank, then smiled when she saw somone's sillouette at the other end. Yukiee asked, "Hinata, is that you?" Hinata answered back, "It is, Yukiee." He walked closer, nervously, as did she. He thought, "What if she says no?" She thought, "I wonder what he wants to ask me?" Hinata tripped, andYukiee caught her. She blushed, as he helped her up, he started to say, "Well, Hinata, I wanted to say that...uh... ya see, I have a crush on you, and I wanted to meet you here to ask you..."His voice trailed off, and she decided to pick up what he might have wanted to say. "Do you...want me to be your girlfriend?" She asked, smiling at him. He turned bright red, then sputtered out, "Y-Yeah, th-that's what I w-wanted to say..." He looked down, then at her. She was smiling, then she hugged him. "Of course, Yukiee-kun!" She looked up to him, and kissed him. "Let's go to my place!" He held her hand as they walked off to his house. The two were as happy as could be, but tomorrow's another day, with more adventures in store.
