After the Hokage dismissed the group they all went their seperate ways. Jenna and Gaara went back to Gaara's apartment to help him unpack for his temporary home while Sasuke and Naruto accomanied Cathy who was very annoyed at this point.

"I say we get some ramen," said Naruto kicking a little stone.

"Is that all you ever think about?" asked Sasuke.

"Wouldn't you like to know, teme," spat Naruto.

"Okay," said Cathy turning toward the two, "Tsunade-sama's right you two never stop arguing."

"But he-"

"I don't care who started it!" said Cathy, sounding like a mother seperating her two fighting children, "I'm going back to my apartment. When you two finally stop arguing, come find me."

As she started to walk away she could hear Sasuke say, "See what you did, you idiot?" with Naruto's reply, "Okay! That's it! You're going town, teme!"

Thus resulting with two huge bumps on their heads and Cathy storming away from the unconcious ninjas.

As Cathy walked back to her apartment she listed the things she would need for the next few missions and supplies that would help protect the amulet, along with the grocery list she had in the back pocket of her tan jean skirt.

"Let's see, I need eggs, milk, apples, celery, and some chicken. I wonder what mom can-" Cathy stopped herself, "Oh yeah, she's not here...Well! That's fine! I'll make chicken noodle soup when I get home!" she said cheerfully as she walked into the grocery store.

Jenna coughed as dust flew everywhere she vacuumed. The apartment Gaara had bought was not new. There was nothing in it but an old couch and a refridgerator that looked like it would break down any second. Jenna was in charge of vacuuming, dusting, and rearranging while Gaara unpacked his belongings and carried heavy things out of Jenna's way. Jenna had her home made jeans on with a light purple short sleeved shirt that had a black butterfly on it. Gaara had a green tight short sleeve shirt on that hugged his upper body and he had on tan shorts that went to his knees.

"You're so lucky I'm doing this for you," she said as she coughed again from all the dust, "You would never be able to get this done knowing how you are."

"Here," said Gaara as he held out a mask to cover her mouth and nose from all the dust.

"Why didn't you give me this sooner!?" asked Jenna who was upset by the fact that she could've vacuumed easier if she had the mask in the beginning.

"I forgot," he said bluntly.

Jenna sighed, "How did you become the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand?"

"It's not easy," he said as he bent his face closer to hers, "That's why I have you."

"I'm so flattered," she said in a sarcastic tone, while moving her face away from his.

"What? No kiss?" asked Gaara feeling unrewarded for his compliment.

"I'll think about it if you get back to work," she said as she snapped the mask on her face and kept vacuuming.

"Ok," said Gaara sighing. He lifted a box and looked down to see a black ball of fur on the floor.

"HOLY CRAP!" said Gaara as the box flew in the air.

"What!?" asked Jenna, reacting as best as she could without letting go of the vacuum. The box Gaara threw in the air landed right on her head. Boxers and briefs fall on top of the poor blonde's wavy hair.

"EEEEEEEEWWWW!! EW! EW! EW! EW! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" screamed Jenna flailing her arms in the air, trying to get all of Gaara's undergarments off of her.

Gaara, who was very red in the face from embarassment, helped get his personal belongings off of his girlfriend. Afterwards she looked to see what caused it all to happen. It was a rat.

"Aw! How cute!" said Jenna holding the rat in her hands.

"Jenna! That thing could bite you!" said Gaara inching away.

Jenna turned to him, "Your the Kazekage of the Sand Village, the fearless leader that is the keeper of the Amulet of Sand, and you're afraid of a little rat."

"Little!? Are you serious!? That thing's huge!"

"It's not a thing, his name's Vortex."

"You named it!?"

"Yes I named him."

"Now it's a he," sighed Gaara knowing he wasn't going to win this fight. The mand known as Dane Cook was right. Women win 99.9 percent of all fights. And today Gaara didn't even have .1 percent of a chance to win against his girlfriend.

"Fine, I don't care if you keep it, but you can't keep it here," he said picking up his favorite pair of red boxers.

"Of course I'm not keeping him here," she began as she started to pet the black ball of fur, "You'd probably suffocate him with flying undergarments."

"Oh please," said Gaara as he put the box full of under wear inside his bedroom.

Jenna laughed, "What do you want for lunch?"

"I was thinking we could go out," he said coming over by her.

"What? Is my cooking not good enough?" she asked holding his spatula.

"No," he said resting his head on her shoulder, "You're cooking's fine. We're going to meet Cathy and the guys at Ichiraku's."

"Eating ramen every day isn't very healthy. Do you know how much salt there is in it?" asked Gaara as he lifted his head so jade eyes met hazel ones and their foreheads touched.

"You're just too smart for me," he said as he kissed her lightly on the lips. Now if you were to see these two kiss a few months ago thses would probably be the causes:

1.) The village would burn to the ground if they didn't.

2.) They were pushed together on accident.

3.) If the world and everything we know on it would be destroyed if they didn't. (That's basically the same as the first one but you get my point.)

Basically over the past few months Gaara fell more and more in love with the wavy haired blonde. Every time he heard his say his name felt like a thousand angels were massaging his brain. (Yes it felt that good.) And everytime they touched, whether it be accident or purpose, he felt warm all over. But when they kissed it felt like heaven, and he couldn't get enough of it.

Their kisses were chaste ones, though. Jenna and Gaara both are very shy when it comes to romance, though Gaara can be some what dominant at times. Gaara felt her soft lips on his and enjoyed the taste of her. He brought a hand to the back of her neck when all of a sudden he felt something furry on his shoulder. He broke the kiss and turned to see what it was. It was Jenna's new rat, Vortex.

"R-R-R-RAT!!" yelled Gaara as flung the rat off his shoulder as Jenna caught it.

"Oh, poor Vortex, did daddy hurt you?" she asked it, as the rat clung to her for dear life.

After a few minutes Gaara calmed down and turned to his girlfriend, "C'mon or we're gonna be late," he said extending his hand.

"Okay," she said with a smile as she took it and they both walked, hand in hand, to Ichiraku's.

--

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Puh-leeeeeeze?"

"For the last time Naruto, No!"

Naruto and Cathy were both in her kitchen as she stirred the soup of chicken that she had so tiredlessly made for herself.

"But Cappy, I promised Gaara we'd meet him at Ichiraku's," he said resting his chin on her counter.

"Have you not seen what I've been doing for the last hour!?" said Cathy, apparently tired of all the begging Naruto was doing.

"So? We can have it tomorrow," he said getting up and going over to her. Cathy had on her white apron that said "Kiss the Cook." She promised herself she'd get one as soon as she moved out of her house.

She hit him lightly on the head, "You dope, you just don't get it," she said as she turned away from him to continue stirring.

Naruto got up from the chair he sat in and made his way to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and now rested his chin on her shoulder," C'mon, Cappy-chan, you've gotta come," he begged softly.

Cathy was blushing all shades of red and pink now but there was no way in hell she was gonna let Naruto know that. She kept her face away from his.

"I told you not to call me that."

"Hm?" asked Naruto who was now nuzzling into her neck, "Call you what? Cappy-chan."

"That. Cappy-chan. Don't call me that. You know I hate chan."

"But it suits you so well Cappy-chan." he whispered in her ear, emphasizing the word "chan."

Just like Gaara and Jenna, Naruto and Cathy have increased in their love life as well. Naruto, being Jiraiya's pupil, is indeed a pervert at times, but holds back occasionally for Cathy's sake. Cathy never really had an official boyfriend before, heck she wasn't sure if Naruto and herself were going out. Naruto, on the toher hand, thinks so but she has something to say other wise. Especially when he does stuff like what he's doing now.

"Are you going to come or do I have to oblige and do what your apron's telling me to do?" asked Naruto in a voice not louder than a whisper. Whenever Naruto did that shivers crawl up Cathy's spine and it tickled her ear with his warm breath. That was enough.

"No, Naruto, I worked really hard on this! Can't you just go with Sasuke," she said pulling his hands from her waist and pushing him away from her.

"Cappy, you know I'm not gay," he said with a perplexed look on his face.

"I didn't mean a date!" she yelled at him.

She sighed and tasted her soup. Almost done.

"You know..." Hook...

"What?" Line...

"Jenna's gonna be all alone with three guys if you don't come."

...and Sinker.

"Let's go," she said, apparently mad having to leave her soup, but Jenna was worth it. She didn't want the guys teasing Jenna as punishment for her not going.

"Yay! I knew you'd come around!" exclaimed Naruto as he grabbed her from behind.

"Stop it you perverted ninja!"

"But Cappy-chan"

"AUGH!!"
