The time finally arrived for the group to leave for the Star Country. Everyone lined up under the front gate of Konoha in the order of: Sasuke and Cathy, Jenna and Gaara, and poor Naruto, who was all alone.

Jenna looked absolutely radiant in her gown. It was a yukata with the night sky glistening and shining all over the beautiful yukata. Her hair was up in a high but loose bun as wavy strands of hair fell from it. Dark blue and black beads wrapped around the loose bun and made her hair look even blonder from the dark pearls. Gaara wore a black body guard, ninja like, outfit, obviously looking like a skilled and terrifying body guard. Sasuke wore a tight hugging black shirt with short sleeves, revealing his well toned and chisseld chest, and loose jeans with a black belt. Jenna was very happy when he requested the jeans. She worked very hard to make them and they fit just right, not too loose but not leg hugging tight. Cathy wore a white blouse with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows and a light blue sweater vest over it. She wore black pants that hugged her legs perfectly. Naruto and Sasuke both drooled at the sight, thankfully no one saw them in their state of awe. Her hair was in a high ponytail that flowed down her back, stopping right before her hips. Naruto, unfortunately, got a white buisness shirt with a red tie, and black suit pants with a large white trench coat. He was offered glasses but thankfully they weren't mandatory to wear.

"Alright," said Tsunade, "From this moment on, until it is safe, you all will asume your given identities. Move out!"

"Yes!" replied the team.

The team traveled for about two hours. They rested for a bit and had some food but then moved out again leavng no trace of evidence. They were now in the forest with some clear openings. The sun shone brightly through the trees making Jenna shine brighter than before. It was kinda hard to look at her because she was so blindingly bright. They took another rest after three more hours of traveling. Naruto sighed and unpacked a quick granola bar, from Jenna. He ate it and burped making Cathy laugh in the process. As it was time to go Sasuke took Cathy's hand in his, lacing his fingers with hers, causing her to look up at his face.

"Shall we start moving, honey?" once again emphasizing the nickname for her.

Cathy relunctantly nodded, "What happened to the name Kappa?"

Sasuke looked down and finally said, "If you're gonna be my wife, there's no way you're gonna be called that. An Uchiha, even a fake one like you, must have some dignity.

Cathy's face wrinkled in anger and replied, teeth together, "Once this mission is over, you are dead."

"Now why would you say that to your husband?"

"We're not married!"

"What would our baby be like if you acted like that?"

"I'M NOT PREGNANT!"

"Not yet," he said one inch away from her face.

Cathy's face blushed different shades of red as Naruto's flushed different shades of red out of anger.

Cathy looked away and retorted, "Shut up Sasuke, don't even joke about that."

"The mission has started. If the enemy is watching us we have to act like our given identities. Meaning that you can't be saying stuff like 'we're not married' and that 'we're not planning a family'...and you're really tensed. A newly wedded wife would not be so tense around her new husband."

Cathy sighed. He was right. If they wanted to keep Jenna and the remaining amulets safe, they would have to do their best to remain hidden. Even if it means acting all mushy and lovey dovey around Sasuke. Cathy yelled as loud as she could in her head for what she was about to do.

"I'm sorry sweetie," she said, hugging his arm, "I absolutely can't wait for our honey moon trip! It's going to be so much fun!"

Naruto was about to blow. He absolutely hated the fact that Cathy was acting this way around Sasuke. She didn't even act like that around him! Sure, they had their moments, but it still wasn't the same. He had to do something about this.

"Your highness," said Gaara walking beside Jenna.

"Yes?" she asked looking up at Gaara. Her amber eyes sparkled in the sunlight, catching Gaara's breath.

"N-nevermind," he said, embarrassed, and turned away to hide his reddened face.

Gaara had never seen Jenna so beautiful before. Everytime he looked at her the air from his lungs would suddenly vanish, leaving him breathless and gasping for air.

It was wierd to call his girlfriend 'your highness.' He wanted to try it and get used to it. It would probably be awhile before things went back to normal. Jenna looked at him questioningly.

"What's wrong Gaara?" she asked the poor blushing kazekage.

"Nothing," he said trying to act normal.

The sun shone onto her blonde hair making her luminate even more. She took out her hair and shook her head, letting her hair sway back and forth. Gaara could smell the scent of her shampoo. "Smells like lilacs," he thought.

"It's funny," she said catching his attention, "I should be the one protecting you, Kazekage-sama."

Gaara smirked and looked forward.

Jenna lifted her head towards the sun and felt the warm rays of the sun touch her face.

"I love the sun," she said, eyes closed, "Always watching, always guiding, and always lighting the earth with it's paternal glow."

"Which philosopher said that?" asked Gaara.

"I did. Just now," said Jenna, smiling.

"So if the sun's paternal then...?"

"The moon's maternal," said Jenna looking at him once again.

"Why's that?" Jenna gave Gaara an annoyed look.

"What?"

"You ask too many questions," she said, bluntly.

"Well when you're saying stuff like the sun's a dad and the moon's a mom..."

"...I meant the sun shines over the earth, like a father watching his children during the day, and the moon gently luminates the earth at night, like a mother, watching her child as he sleeps," said Jenna giving Gaara an 'if you must know' look.

"Now it makes sense..." said Gaara, with a look of embarrassment.

Jenna smiled and slipped her small, soft hand into his. Gaara looked down at her.

"Because...I'm going to be a...princess," began Jenna with disgust, "We're going to have to...keep our relationship secret, until the mission is over of course."

Gaara's open eyes shut for a second, realizing what she said was true. He squeezed her hand and gave her a loving look.

"I understand...and I'll wait, even though it will seem like forever."

Jenna smiled, "I promise too."

They stared at each other for a second and then Gaara leaned down and captured her lips. Jenna closed her eyes and melted into his arms as he wrapped them around her small frame. The kiss lasted only a few moments but to them it seemed like a good two hours. They hugged for the last time, that is until the mission is over.

The group continued their way to the Star Country. Sasuke looked over at Jenna and Gaara. They walked side by side, with Gaara slightly behind her. He saw them earlier in their moment which peeked an idea in his mind. He slipped his hand into hers, like a snake, slithering into its hole. Cathy felt his hand wrap around her small one. She looked up at him.

"I was thinking our son's name should be Ikazuchi," he said looking at the horizon.

"...Thunder?" she asked.

"Yeah, Ikazuchi Uchiha, it's got a nice ring to it," he said turning to her.

"...I like the name Michael."

Sasuke gave her a weird look, "Michael? What kind of name is that?"

"It's a great name! I've always liked it."

"You and Jenna both have such weird names."

"Oh, and Sasuke isn't?"

"In my whole life I've never heard names like yours and Jenna's, but the one you just said is the wierdest one I've ever heard."

"You know, insulting your newly wedded wife isn't the smartest thing a man should do."

"Okay okay look, I'm not naming my son a weird name like Michael. Our son will have a great name." said Sasuke.

"Oh not this again..." said Cathy, blushing.

"We need to think about the future," he said lowering his face to hers, "It's unavoidable."

Cathy blushed and turned her face away, "W-what if we don't have a boy? What if it's a girl?"

Sasuke smirked. He lowered his lips to her ear and whispered, "Then we'll keep trying until we do."

Cathy blushed redder than Hinata's reddest shade of blush. She pushed him away, "S-stop it Sasuke. This is stupid, the enemy wouldn't be around here."

"We didn't think they'd be in Konoha either and look at what happened. You, Jenna, and Gaara got attacked, and poor Jenna was mortally wounded. We can't risk it."

Cathy looked at Jenna. She quickly turned back, squinted her eyes and turned to him, "You're a persistent bastard."

Sasuke's eyes widened. "Sorry. I had to get that last part out of me," she said.

Sasuke chuckled and put his arm around her shoulders. Naruto saw all this, and he did not like it.

He did not like it one bit.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn you Sasuke-teme! Trying to seduce Cappy with your devilish charm and your good looks...wait..."

"WHAT AM I SAYING!?" yelled Naruto.

"Naruto-san?"

Naruto looked at Cathy. She was right in front of him looking at him with a look of confusion. Her sky blue eyes were filled with worry.

"Naruto-san, are you alright?" she asked.

"Naruto-san?" he questioned, "What happened to just Naruto?"

Cathy's eyes grew a bit wide and then fell, "Well...isn't that what I should call you?"

Naruto's heart fell, "I...I guess."

Cathy gave one last look into Naruto's grieving eyes. She had the urge to desperately hug him. She wanted to feel the warmth of his chest and melt into his embrace. She wanted to talk to him like they usually do, not with fake politeness, the kind of talk she was forced to say to keep their true identities hidden.

"We better keep moving...Cathy-san."

Cathy's entire chest hurt. The very words Naruto said pierced her heart.

"...Yes."

Cathy walked back toward Sasuke, head down, and was soon under his arm once more. Sasuke inwardly grinned over the small victory he had won. Cathy, on the other hand wanted to do nothing but cry but found that she couldn't. She hadn't cried in over eight years, after that horrible week of nothing but sadness and sorrow.

Jenna and Gaara saw the whole thing but said nothing. They looked at each other and immeadiately they both had the same feeling. They both thought it was wrong. The whole situation was just plain wrong. Tsunade must have had a good reason for doing this...She must have a really good reason.

"Let's hope this mission ends soon," said Jenna, "It's the first day and already all of us...most of us hate it."

Gaara nodded. Jenna looked at the sun setting on the horizon.

"Only time will tell what will happen," she said looking up at Gaara, "We have to be strong...for both of them."

Gaara nodded, "We'll make it. We will protect the amulet's. And we will go back to the way things were...in Konoha."

Jenna gave an assured look, "I believe you," she said giving Cathy another glance, seeing that her face was unsure and sad, "Do you, Cathy?"

Okay okay okay. I get it. This chapter was really lovey dovey and angsty. But don't worry it will get better. I promise! My friend and I have been watching the LOTR for awhile and we keep seeing all these gay parts! Especially with Legolas and it is so funny! I'm not saying bieng gay is funny, in fact I have a gay friend, but Legolas' face is so funny when Aragorn is with someone else and not him! LOL! Watch the part where Boromir dies with Aragorn near him, then watch Legolas' face. You will laugh so hard! Okay beside the LOTR the next chapter will come sooner than this one.
