Chapter 2:The 'date' that started everything.
As Naruto closes-in to the Hokage tower,he starts to think of the possibilities of why the mission he has is a 'secret S-class five man mission' and who's the second person. He stops in front of the entrance to the Hokage tower and just started walking up the stairs.
In Tsunade's office:
Meanwhile in Tsunade's office,two blondes are trying to keep each other occupied,for the hyper-active hero is late.
"Where is he!?"Tsunade yelled,"When he gets here he's going to be sent all the way to the border of the fire nation!"she says as she cracks her knuckles.
"Hokage-sama,please calm down,"Temari is trying to calm her down,"Remember. We need him for the mission."
"You're right Temari,"she says while getting a bottle of sake and a cup from her desk drawer,"I need a dr-".
"Hey! Sorry I'm late baa-chan,"as he came in,cutting off Tsunade.
She hits him on the head with her fists."Owwww! What was that for baa-chan!"he said while rubbing his head.
"Still,the same as ever huh Naruto."Temari came from behind.
"Huh!"he said in confusion as he turns around and see her,"Hey,Temari! Long time no see! How've you been,Temari-san?"
"Good. How about you,loud-mouth?"she gladly said,walking closer to him.
"Same. So what are you doing here?"
"I'm here because Gaara sent me here for a mission with the Kage's."
"So you're he-"he was cut off by Tsunade.
"Instead of wasting precious time with 'chitchat'. We should get to why we're here."Tsunade said.
"Hai!"they both said.
"Good! Now Naruto. You're here cause I chose you out of every shinobi in Konoha,for your infinite amount of chakra,"Tsunade claimed,"Since you're wondering why you and Temari are here. You two,and three more from the other villages,will go together in a mission to stop a group of rogue shinobi's wondering around in the fire nation."
"'Rogue Ninja?'"Naruto cringed.
"Yes Naruto. Rogue ninja and that includes...Sasuke Uchiha."
Naruto's eyes were about to pop out just by hearing that. Temari was shocked by hearing that as well. Even though she was there first,Tsunade just gave her a brief description. She turned her head to see how Naruto was feeling with the shocking news.
Naruto was looking down,eyes closed with shaking fists. His aura was both of depression and anger."Naruto,"Temari said,"Are you okay?". She put her hand on his shoulder,and felt him flinch at her touch. He looked up at her and saw that her eyes were filled with worry.
'Why is she so worried for me?'."Yeah."he said softly,"Ariagató Temari-chan."
Temari flinched on the term 'chan',since it's said for someone that they love or care so much about,but she shook off the thought,thinking that he was just speaking fast."No problem."she said with a smile,"Okay Hokage-sama. Please continue on."
"Thank you Temari."Tsunade thanked,"As I was saying,there are nine rogue shinobi scattered all over the fire nation. Us Kage's from the five villages have agreed to send our strongest shinobi. We don't what they're planning,but it is important to get over with it. This mission is not a 'search and retrieve',it's a 'search and kill'."
Naruto was wanting to say something about bringing back Sasuke,but he knew that it's now impossible to change Sasuke. "Baa-chan?"
"Yes Naruto."
"When do we start this mission?"
Tsunade and Temari were astonished by the question. They both knew Naruto would argue when something is mentioned about Sasuke,but this was "new" about him.
"You'll start in the morning. You'll meet the other three in front of Konoha Gates,"Tsunade said,"You're both dismissed."
They both bowed and said in unison,"Hai!". As they both left the office,Tsunade continued her drinking and thought about Naruto's attitude.'Hmm,what is he thinking about?'. She shrugged off the thought and drank down five cups of sake.
Outside of Hokage Tower:
Temari and Naruto walked down the streets of Konoha."So Temari what do you think about the mission?"Naruto said with a serious look.
"Well,I think it's going to be a risky mission to do especially since we know one of the members of the group. So we'll have to be very aware of our surroundings."
"Yeah. You're right Temari. We can't hold back on them,"he said while looking down with sad aura around him.
"What about you Naruto? How do you feel?"she asked with a hint of worry.
He looked at her and have her one of his signature smiles,"I feel like this mission is going to be fun,but also fatal."his smile faded and the sad aura rose again,"If I go against Sasuke though,I won't hold back any longer. He's deep within darkness and full of hatred. I can't change him anymore."
She looked at him and saw that he was in despair."Okay,Naruto. I'll inform the other three that it's your battle."she said with a grin that said she understood him.
He looked at her and something in him sparked when he saw her smile. A feeling that he's never felt before.'Dammit. It must be Kurama doing one of his weird things again.'he thought until a low sound interrupted his train of thought.
"What was that?"Temari said.
The sound came again. Naruto grabbed his stomach while the sound came. They both finally knew what was happening. Naruto was hungry.
"Naruto,did you eat anything?"Temari asked.
"No. I woke up late,so I skipped lunch to get to Baa-chan in time."he said while grasping his stomach.
Another growl cane,but it didn't come from Naruto. Instead it came from Tamari's stomach. He looked at her and saw that her face was flushed. He chuckled,"Seems like you didn't either,"he took out his toad wallet and checked how much he's got,"Well,since this is our last day here. How 'bout I treat you to dinner?"he smiled.
She looked at him with a suspicious look.'Maybe I should decline his offer since ma and Shikamaru br-"she was cut off from her thoughts.
"Well you don't have to if you don't want to. I would understand if you didn't."he said while looking at her with a smile.
She saw that he had a glint of sadness,but understanding. She was in a war with herself.'What am I going to say now? I want to,but I can't because my heart is shattered.'she thought. She couldn't handle the tension between him and her so she just said,"I would gladly enjoy having dinner with you Naruto. How about we meet at that BBQ place that Chouji enjoys?"she said.
"Well,I was thinking if we can go to that new restaurant across that same BBQ stand?"he said kind of fidgeting.
"But isn't that like an instant bankrupt?"she asked.
"For some,but I have enough don't worry about it. So how about we meet each other in front of the BBQ stand at 9:00,so we have about two hours to get ready. Is that fine with you?"he said politely.
"Uhhh,okay. See you then,Naruto."she said shyly.
"Great! It's a date then!"he said sarcastically with a big grin.
"What!?"said Temari,shocked at his conclusion,"W-what d-do y-you m-mean d-d-d-date?"
"Haha! I'm joking! I know you're in a relationship with Shikamaru,so don't worry."he said laughing.
"But I'm-"she was cut off by Naruto's finger.
"It's ok."he said calmly.
She was shocked of what he said.'Does he know about me and Shikamaru?'she thought with a shocked face.
"I know you don't like it when people say that you and Shikamaru are going out,so don't worry about this. It's just a friendly dinner."he said with a smile,"Well see you at 9:00.". As he walked off,Temari just stood there.'Why do I feel something...weird when I'm with him?'.
She shrugged it off and just walked back to her hotel.'Wonder what I should wear for dinner?'
Two hours later(The date):
One handsome blonde was waiting in front of Konoha's BBQ stand. He was getting really impatient."Damn! She's late! Maybe I should go inside and order already!"he said with irritation in his voice,"Nah! That wouldn't be right."
He waited there a while more to see if she's coming,but had no luck since ten minutes had already passed. He looked around to try and find Temari. He sighed,'Seems like she's not going to be coming.'he thought.
As he was going to leave he heard a familiar voice."Sorry I'm late. It's kind of crowded where I was coming from."Temari said,trying to catch her breath.
"It's okay. At least you ma-augh"he said before he stopped and froze on the sight he saw.
Temari looked,in a word,sexy. He couldn't stop staring at her. She was wearing a long,black strapless dress that shaped her hour-glass body. She had her hair loose that stopped at her shoulders. She was wearing eye-liner and purple eye shadow that brought out her silver eyes,and red lipstick that emphasized her beautiful lips.
Naruto couldn't stop staring at her.'Oh Kami,she's beautiful.'he thought until he found out what he just thought,'Why am I thinking this? This is Shikamaru's girl.'. Then he stopped his train of thought as he walked towards her."You look lovely,Temari."he said.
Temari blushed when he said that."I could say the same for you,Naruto.". Now it was his turn to blush. He was wearing a black suit with a bow tie,his headband off of his forehead,and a rose in his coat pocket."Why're you looking so 'fancy'? This isn't a scam for you to be on a date with me,is it Naruto-kun?"she said with a husky voice and a seducing smile.
"Uhhh..No! It's just a friendly dinner. By the way you are with Shikamaru."he said.
She dropped her smile.'I wish he knew the actual truth. Maybe I'll tell him during dinner.'she thought."Well,are we going to stand here looking good or are we going to eat a delicious dinner?"she claimed.
"Nicely said,Temari-chan."he said with a huskily tone as he held out his arm.
She blushed violently and took his arm with hers. They walked across to the new restaurant thinking about 'how the other looks good',they both blushed when they looked at each other,and when they looked at each other,they both looked away so the other doesn't see the other blushing.
They entered the new restaurant and went to the host so they can get their table."Hello sir. What is your name?"the host asked. Temari was astound on how the place looked,and it was just the entrance.
"Naruto Uzumaki,kind sir."he said.
"Oh! The great hero! Oh splendid! Please come,come!"he told them.
They both followed the gist to their table. While Naruto was just looking forward,Temari looked around,admiring the environment inside the restaurant. As they entered another room,Temari's eyes were about to bulge out just by the glimpse of the room. It was really big with a band playing soothing music,a big dance floor in the middle with tables around,and chandeliers,that give light,above each table.
"Your table,sir Naruto."said the host,bowing and a hand out that is guiding them to the table.
"Ariagató,and no need to be former around me."he said with a smile handing him a $100 ryo to the host.
The host's face was gleaming by Naruto's tip."Ariagató,Naruto."he said as polite as he can,and left them with their menu's on the table.
Naruto and Temari went to their table. Naruto brought out Temari's chair out and told her,"Your seat,Miss Temari."
She giggled,"Why thank you Naruto.". She took her seat trying to hide her blush from Naruto. Naruto took his seat and grabbed his menu,and looked at the meals.'I can't believe how formal and nice he is.'she thought as she did the same.
Her eyes bulged out like the size of light bulbs.'Oh Kami,he's going to go bankrupt.'she thought. The waiter came and asked,"May I take your order?".
Before she could say anything,Naruto said,"We'll have the four-course meal please,and to drink we'll have red wine first and after champagne please."he said while taking out another $100 ryo and handing it to the waiter,"And this is for you,sir.".
"Ariagató sir. Your order will be right over in a few minutes."he said.
The waiter left,and then Temari told Naruto,"Why'd you say that? I saw how much everything costs. You're going to go bankrupt."
Naruto laughed at what she was saying,Temari was confused on why he was laughing."Hahaha. I know you saw how much it costs,but it's okay. Since I'm like adopted by Baa-chan and the son of the 4th Hokage,plus a hero of Konoha and the five great nations. I have a 90% discount."he said with a smile.
"Oh! Well! That's,ummm,nice to know."she said still unsure.
They kept on talking until the dinner came. The dinner soon came and they both said,"Itkadusami!"and started eating. As they ate,Temari was thinking about the time everyone in the five great nations heard that Naruto was the son of the 4th Hokage until Naruto asked her a random question.
"So how are you and Shikamaru?"he asked while drinking wine.
She started choking when he heard him ask her that question. Naruto looked at her with a look that says,"Did I say something wrong?",Temari grabbed her glass of wine and chugged down the wine.
She gasped,"Ughh! Why do you ask?"
"Well cause I wanted to know if you two are okay."he said with a confused expression.
"Well..."she took her time to say what she was going to say.
"Well what?"he asked curiously.
"Well,we're good."she lied with a fake smile.
"You're lying,"he said with a smile. She gasped,'Does he know that we aren't together anymore or is he just making a statement.'she thought."How do you know I'm lying?"
"Well cause of that fake smile and how long you took to answer."he answered happily with a smile that said,"I caught you red-handed.".
'Damn it! Why is it so hard for me to lie?'she thought."So what's up with you two?"Naruto said with a serious tone and face.
"Well,looks like I have to say the truth,"she said sighing like she lost a battle,"Shikamaru and I are no longer seeing each other. In other words,we aren't dating."she said looking down with her eyes looking like they're ready to burst into tears.
Naruto was shocked with the news. He looked down also because he felt the same thing she is feeling:loneliness. He wanted to speak,but he couldn't for he was at lost with words. The silence was broken when Temari said "Well who cares about it? It's a thing in the past,lets just try and enjoy this dinner."as she rose her glass. Naruto rose his,and they touched each others glass tip with one another and enjoyed the rest of the dinner.
One hour later (after dinner):
They finished eating dinner and left the restaurant."Hey Temari!"Naruto said.
"Yes?"she said sweetly.
He blushed at the tone of ger voice."Uhh. Well,I was wondering if you would like me to walk you to your hotel."he said nervously.
She started to blush just by the question."Uhhh,sure."she said fidgeting with her hands.
As they walk together to her hotel room,they both took quick glances at each other without the other finding out. They were quiet all the way to Temari's hotel,but Naruto stopped the silence."So are you like...single?"he said.
This made Temari stop and blush to the fullest."Why do you ask Naruto? Are you trying to say something?"
Naruto rose his hands up in a way that is trying to inform he's not,"I'm not! It's just cause I don't know anything about it when someone breaks up since I never had anyone,"he said softly.
They both stood therein the starry night. Little bits of rain started coming down."Seems like it's going to rain."he said sadly walking towards Temari and grabbed her hand. She flinched at his touch and started to blush furiously."Come on,we have to hurry."
So they started running to her hotel as the rain started pouring. They got to the hotel all soaked with water. It was one of the fanciest hotels Konoha has."Achoo!"Temari sneezed. She was shivering terribly,"Sorry. I got a cold."
Naruto walked up to her and took off his coat,and he wrapped it around her. She blushed the hundredth time that day by Naruto's actions."Ariagató Naruto."she said shyly.
"No problem,"he said with a smile.
They walked up the stairs to the second floor,where Temari's room was at. They went up the stairs slowly,arm by arm. They both felt warm inside and they couldn't stop blushing. It seemed like it was forever up those stairs to the second floor.
They finally got to the second floor and went to her room. They stop in front of her door ,and they turned to face each other. They both started to blush rapidly.
"Ariagató Naruto for walking me here."Temari said softly.
"No problem Temari. I just wanted,to make sure you get here safe."he said.
They stood there silently."Well, I think I should go home now. Bye Temari,see ya tomorrow."he said breaking the silence.
"Yeah,same here Naruto."
Naruto was already turning but a random person came through the stairs and bumped into him,pushing him forward.
"Gomen."said the stranger bowing down and leaving.
It was all so sudden,but the stranger didn't notice what he made Naruto do. Naruto was pushed forward and did the same thing he did with Sasuke in Ninja Academy. He kissed Temari. The two of them were astonished. They both didn't move. It felt like forever in that moment,Naruto leaned a little bit more to make it more passionate while Temari did the same. They both continued kissing until they ran out of breath.
They both pulled away and looked at each other's eyes. They both were as red as ever and they couldn't stop getting any redder.
"Uh,well I have to go."he said softly,"Bye Temari-chan."
Temari stayed still at the same spot,watching Naruto leaving. She didn't know what to do now. She moved her hand to her lips.'I can't believe we kissed.'she thought as she took out her key and opened her door to her room.
With Naruto:
He was walking down the wet streets of Konoha under the rain. He was still thinking about the kiss he had with Temari.'Why can't I just ignore the kiss. It was just an accident right?'he thought.
'Hahaha.'someone laughing inside. Naruto's head,'Seems like my vessel is having emotions for the spiky blonde,sister of Shukaku's vessel.'
'Kurama? Can you please shut up? I ain't having feelings for Temari.'he said coldly to Kyuubi no Kisuke.
'Ouch!'he said pretending to be hurt,'That hurts you know. But either way,you are having feelings for that blonde since you're always thinking about her.'. Kyuubi was making sense,but Naruto still didn't want to admit it.
'No I'm not!'he said harshly to Kurama.
'Then why can't you stop thinking about her,huh squirt.'he said with a smirk.
He started to blush because Kurama was right. Naruto didn't know what to say. While Kurama was laughing hysterically,he was thinking about Temari again. Instead of just the kiss,he was thinking about the possibilities of him actually having a relationship with her.'Well I did give her a great time and I did kiss her,even though it was an accident,but a kiss is a kiss.'he thought.
'Oi,Naruto! What're you thinking about?Kurama said.
'Huh! Wha-!'Naruto shakes his head.
'Oi,Naruto! Stop shaking your head,you're making me dizzy!'Kurama yelled.
'Oh! Sorry,Kurama-san!'he said.
'Gosh you get so carried away.'Kurama said aggressively.
Naruto just kept walking,having a little conversation about their future 'mate' and 'kits'. Naruto was just getting furious and Kurama just laughed like crazy.
Temari's hotel room:
The shower is running and a very blushing sand kunoichi is inside. Temari couldn't stop thinking about Naruto.'Why do I always get this weird feeling in my stomach when I think about Naruto.'Temari thought.
Temari was putting on soap on her hour-glass body. The water falling on her D-cup breasts with pink nipples and on her big,round bubble butt. While she was just thinking about him,she didn't know how much time she spent in the shower. So she finished showering and got out and dried herself up. She put on her robe and got outside of the shower,'Why am I feeling really weird just thinking about him? What is he to me?'she thought while walking to her bed
As soon as she got there,she heard someone knocking,"Who can that be?"she said while getting up.
At the other side of Temari's door:
"Hehe,hope she likes the surprise,"someone said quietly,"Hope she didn't forget about me so soon."the stranger smiles.
