After 10 minutes past both kunoichis stood with backpacks at the entrance to the Kazekage's building.

Sakura scratched the back of her head and stared at the spiked blonde haired woman, she still had a look of irritation on her face. Would she really be able to relax?

"Where is the closest bath house?"

"There is a private bath for those that work in the Kazekage's tower." Temari didn't make eye contact with Sakura.

This was different then what she was used to. Temari was usually quick witted with a bit of bite. She must still be deflated from her earlier conversation. A private bath house sounded amazing though!

"Let's do it! Since it's private then I'll be able to sneak in this" Sakura pulled a bottle of sake out of her backpack.

"Breaking the rules now, huh?" Temari started to lead the way toward the bath house. Sakura smiled. There she was, just a little bit.

"It's not breaking if they haven't listed them."

"Hn."

"Oh no, you do it too?"

"What?"

"Speak Gaara."

Temari chuckled, she had not meant to respond like that. "You do when your stuck being around him. Just wait by the end of your stay you'll know which tones mean what."

"I can't say I'm excited for that. "

They walked in silence for a bit. Then came to a grand building. This was a private bath? Sakura stood in shock. When she had heard about the baths of Suna it was from Naruto. He ranted and raved about them from his time with Jiraiya or as Naruto called him "Pervy Sage". This was due to Jiraiya's love for his "research" which was just him peeking in on the naked women in the baths. Thank God she didn't have to worry about any of that here.

"Naked!" Kankuro busted through Gaara's office door. Huffing and puffing. Gaara looked up from the document he was reviewing.

"Naked?"

"You have ten minutes to get ready to go to the bath house." Kankuro had his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath.

"Kankuro, do you not see that I am busy. Some of us actually work."

"Hey! I work, very hard I might add. Actually a raise is in order for my-"

Gaara interrupted Kankuro "Did you bust in here for any other reason, then to waste my time."

"You wanted to see someone naked, didn't you?"

"It definitely isn't you. " Gaara went back to scanning over the document.

"I have a great body! Look at these muscles. " Kankuro flexed his arms. "But besides my gorgeous masterpiece of a body there will be a certain green eyed, pink haired, leaf ninja that is going to be there."

Gaara froze. Kankuro and him had been trying to put together a plan this entire week, but she was avoiding him like a plague. A horrible one at that as he had not seen Sakura once. Though, every day her daily report and update was on his desk.

"I'm not about to stoop to that level."

"Oh, you're already there. Since you want to see her naked so bad!"

"Hn."

"It's not like she's just going to undress in the middle of your office for you. From this past week, she doesn't want anything to do with you. " Kankuro laughed at the thought.

Gaara mind went blank and was filled with that image.

The door to his office creaked open.

"Kazekage?" She licked her lips to wet them.

"Yes." He put down the document he was reviewing and tossed his hair back. Looking up he saw Sakura, she wore a green kimono with dark leaves floating around the fabric.

"I wanted to speak to you." Sakura swayed her hips to the middle of room.

"About?" He watched as she slowly pulled the stings on her kimono. One by one. Which more than one were already too much for his liking.

She slipped it down her to bare her shoulders, which Gaara was coming to find out there was nothing underneath. Blushing she turned her head to the left and focused on her task. She pulled the kimono past her breast to reveal her beautiful nipples. So pink and hard he wanted one in his mouth to roll around and suck at its sweetness.

She pulled the Kimono down further to uncover her flat stomach. It looked like silk, he wanted to run kisses down that stomach. Lick and nipped as he'd travel down further. The kimono held right above her hips green eyes flashed up to meet his. She dropped the rest of the fabric from her hands. "Think we have enough to talk about?"

"More than enough," Gaara left the unfinished documents on his desk and reached out for milky white skin. She was so soft in his leather hands. He ran his hand of the back of her neck to grip her hair at the nape. He pulled her close ready to devour her peachy lips.

"Earth to Gaara!" Kankuro had ripped him out of his wonderful daydream. "We have a mission! Code N. For naked..."

"That's what we're going with?"

"Yup. I like it."

"Okay, let's do this."

Sakura could not believe her eyes. This was gorgeous! Extravagant was an understatement. Sakura couldn't stop looking at the details in every single tile that lined the floor. Gold embellishments added to the doors and ceilings. Temari lead them to the woman's dressing room and bath. The best part about it was no one else was there!

"This is well needed." Sakura whispered as she got undressed at the designated spot. Clipping her hair back. On the floor she noticed a small pile of sand and she folded her clothing items. Maybe it had drifted in, this is the dessert.

"Agreed. This has been a week from hell."

Sakura paused. Should she ask? She didn't want Temari to feel uncomfortable or revert back to the way she was feeling earlier.

"How about a shot of sake before we get in?" Sakura wanted to smack herself. She had automatically reverted to the tasty liquid to solve her awkward social standing. Thanks to her old Sensi, Tsunade, she had picked up a couple of bad habits with sake.

Temari was already undressed. Sakura sized up the slightly taller sand ninja. She was very good looking. Curves in all the right places, great boobs and beautiful hair pulled into one high ponytail instead of the usual four.

Sakura poured them two glass and they kicked the drinks back. The liquid slid down her throat and burned in her belly. Delicious. Walking to the bath and bringing the cups and sake. Natural rock formations lined the bath adding an authentic feel.

She glided into the hot water and sighed with relief. Her body hummed as it started to relax. Feeling her body aches start to sooth from the hard work she was putting in at the hospital.

"Nice going Gaara! A little sand goes a long way!" Kankuro cheered. "Problem is I can't see anything."

"Shut up, Kankuro. We don't want to be heard." Gaara stood on the mens side of the private dressing room of the bath covering one eye. Gaara was manipulating the sand to create and eye in the womens bath. Gaara had arrived earlier then the two women to place the sand.

He could see Sakura and Temari in the bath lifting up a glass of sake downing the liquid. Sweat beaded at Sakura forehead from the heat. A drop trailer down her neck. She looked so small, so sweet, yet so deadly. He couldn't see enough of her.

Gaara couldn't get close enough without exposing the eye. He needed to see if she has a seal on her body.

"Kankuro, we need to go in there."

"How would you propose we do that." Kankuro lifted up his eyebrows confused.

"You have your puppets and I learned something from Naruto."

"Psh! What did you learn from the yellow haired loud mouth?" Kankuro smiled at the memory of that goofy ball.

"Sexy jutsu."Gaara mumbled. Performing the handsigns a puff of smoke saturated the dressing room. Kankuro stood in shock at a hot red head in Gaara's clothes stood in front of him. Waist long red hair, jade green eyes, small frame, and curves. The love symbol was gone, but red eyebrows were now in place.

"Gaara?"

"We tell no one of this, understand?" Gaara growled.

"You have eyebrow," Gaara punched him in the stomach, "I'll get crow!" Crow was Kankuro's puppet. He could change the puppet to look like anyone or anything. Mission N was a go.
