The Star Country was a beautiful sight to behold. Tall buildings reached the skies and the bustling crowds surrounded shops. The group reached the Star Country early so they decided to split and meet at the hotel later. Sasuke, Cathy, and Naruto went on one side of the market place while Jenna and Gaara explored fun areas and shops they could all enjoy. Sasuke and Cathy walked hand in hand all around the market place. Much to Naruto's misunderstanding the main reason they did this was so they wouldn't get split up, in case of an enemy attack. Naruto, bieng as loud as he is, was not to be worried over if he got lost, they would find him, almost immeadiately.

Sasuke and Cathy walked into a painting shop. It was a small and quaint shop that had a peaceful vibe to it. All overthe walls were paintings with vibrant and dark colors. It was very beautiful, and all the paintings were done by one person called Hissori Koe. Cathy and Sasuke split while looking at the paintings and stopped in front of paintings that caught their eyes. Sasuke stopped in front of a painting with two teenagers on a bridge, at night, with millions of fireflies skimming the creek's surface. He imagined the two to be him and Cathy, alone, without Naruto, enjoying the dim lights of the bugs. Just him and Cathy...

Cathy stopped in front of a painting that had two little girls in it. The two girls were playing with cattails by a pond, and laughing like there wasn't a care in the world. One had curly dark red hair that bounced on her shoulders and freckles that covered her cheeks and nose. She had a yellow dress and a yellow flower in her hair. The other girl had lighter red hair that was braided in two braids. She too had freckles and wore a muddy white shirt and farmers pants that were rolled up to her knees.

"Do you like it?"

Cathy turned around to see an old woman, in about her mid sixties, with her hair in a bun. She wore a dress that was covered in colorful flowers and had a wooden cane in her small and wrinkled hands.

"I do," said Cathy, "It reminds me of my past."

"Aye," she said, "That's my elder sister and I."

Cathy looked at her then back at the painting.

"You're sister is very beautiful, and you're adorable," complimented Cathy.

"Thank you," she said sighing, "She was only three years older than I."

Cathy asked, "Was?"

The old woman sighed again and looked at Cathy, "She'll be dead for twenty-one years next month."

Cathy's heart dropped, "I'm so sorry."

"Don't be," said the woman smiling, "She was very happy, even on her death bed. She was my best friend and the closest person to me, besides my husband."

"I see," said Cathy giving a weak smile.

"I was obviously the tomboy of the two," she said pointing to the girl in braids, "I had three elder brothers who would tease me all the time. I would steal their old clothes and wear them when I played. My sister would always come with me to the pond by our house."

"If I may ask," said Cathy, "Why is your name Hissori Koe?"

The woman smiled, "My brothers would tease me very often, and most of the time it would be about the things I've said. So I would never talk in the house, well I would rarely talk, and so I was called Hissori Koe "Silent Voice". But when my sister and I were alone I would always talk. I would tell her my problems, my thoughts, anything that I really flet about she would listen and agree or give my advice. Most of the time it would be about how I could be more lady like. I never saw how she could do it with a house full of boys. To tell you the truth the boys stayed away from her and always picked on me."

"Because she was ladylike?" asked Cathy.

"Exactly," said the woman who then noticed Sasuke looking at the picture of the fireflies. The two walked over to him.

"Ah," she sighed, "That was my first date with my husband. It was so romantic and the scenery was too beautiful to describe, so I painted it."

The two looked around some more and then left the shop.

"Come again," said the woman, waving, "We can chat some more over tea."

"Okay," said Cathy smiling, "Thank you."

Sasuke and Cathy then felt hungry so they went to an Okonmiyaki (Japanese pizza) stand. Sasuke got an extra cheesy one while Cathy got a barbeque chicken one.

"Brabeque chicken?" asked Sasuke.

"It's good," she said taking another bite.

"You get wierder and wierder every umpf."

Sasuke was interrupted by chopsticks as Cathy shoved a piece of her Okonmiyaki in his mouth. He chewed and swallowed and showed a surprised face.

"It's good," he said.

"Don't act surprised," she said taking another bite.

Poor Naruto was standing behind a nearby pole, watching the whole scene.

"SHE FED HIM! SHE ACTUALLY FED HIM! DAMN YOU SASUKE!!" He then took out his glasses, took a deep breath, and put on his mature face.

"Time to put Operation: Retrieve Cappy into action," he thought as he walked into the plaza area with all the girls, who were staring at Sasuke, now gawking at him. Almost immeadiately he was surrounded by girls who were asking about his name, age, phone number, status, relationship to anyone, and anything else they could get from him.

He smirked and shot a look at Cathy. Her eyes widened as she stopped chewing her food.

"What is he doing!? Why is he torturing me like this!? My god he's so sexy like that..."

Naruto looked like a mature doctor with muscles and maturity. He was mouth watering, and he even beat Sasuke. Even Sakura and Ino would be drooling and poor Hinata would have died by now. Cathy needed to talk to him, and to give him a piece of her mind. But how?

"Aha!" she thought as she held her stomache and fell on the ground.

"Cathy?" asked Sasuke as Naruto saw this and went over to Cathy.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he recieved a look from Cathy.

"I don't know she just fell," said Sasuke.

Naruto lifted her up and said, "This could be serious. She needs medical care."

"Wait!" yelled Sasuke but it was too late. He was already surrounded by fan girls.

Naruto carried Cathy into a building and asked a man, "Do you have an extra room? This girl needs medical attention."

"Of course," said the man as he led Naruto to an extra room. He laid her on the bed and thanked the man. As soon as the man left Naruto closed and locked the door. Immeadiately Cathy sta up with a serious face.

"What was that!?"

"What was what?" asked Naruto turning to her.

"That! That whole scene with the girls and the screaming, and you acting like a sexy and mature doctor! Do you-"

"Sexy?" asked Naruto with a smirk.

"Ah, wait I-I mean, uh..." stuttered Cathy as he got closer.

"Oh no! No!" yelled Cathy as she got off the bed, "You, you jerk, are evil! How could you torture me like that!? Using your charm and hot body to attract girls! And right in front of me, no less! Naruto how could you!?"

"Now I'm hot?" he asked, still smirking and coming closer to her.

"Don't try to change the subject!" she said, "You have no idea how awkward it is to be Sasuke's "wife"! Having girls glare at you because you're just with him! I had girl's glaring at me ever since we got here! I thought this one girl was going to shoot me!"

"Really?" whispered Naruto as he cornered her into the wall.

"Yeah! And then you come along, all buff and charming, catching all the girls attention, right in front of me! What am I supposed to do!? Just sit there while the guy I love is bieng all hot and flirtatious with total strangers!? I mean how mmf!"

Cathy was interrupted as Naruto pressed his lips to hers. Cathy went wide eyed but was soon lost in his kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she deepened the kiss. God did she need this. Ever since they started the mission she wanted nothing but to kiss, hug, or even talk to Naruto. Naruto breathed into the kiss as he broke the kiss to look at her.

"First I'm sexy, then hot, and now buff and charming?" he asked still smirking.

"Just shut up and kiss me," she said as she brought his lips to hers. Naruto kissed her deeply, full of love and desire. He wrapped his arms around her and hled her against him as they kept kissing. It felt like forever until they decided it was time to go back.

They walked out of the building as Naruto went to Sasuke, "She's fine. She needs to drink lots of fluids, though."

"Thanks doctor," said Sasuke as they went their seperate ways, with Naruto winking at Cathy.

"Wow," said Jenna as they approached the palace of the Star Country. It was very big and very beautiful, made of white stone that radiated in the sun's rays.

"Princess Murasaki!"

Jenna and Gaara saw a man with jet black hair and brown eyes. He wore a dark blue outfit that was fit for a prince.

"Hello Prince Tomoshibi," said Jenna in a soft and calm voice.

The prince took her hand, "It is an honor to finally be able to meet you," he said kissing her hand, "You are as beautiful as they said."

"Thank you, Prince Tomoshibi," said Jenna. Gaara, on the other hand, was twitching with a glare.

"Come! We've set up for you and your companions. Say where are your companions?" asked the prince.

"They've gone to see more of the Star Country's kingdom," said Jenna, smiling.

"Alright then," said the prince, taking Jenna's hand, "Let us go."

"MY PRINCE!"

"What is it!?" asked the prince as a horrified guard came running to them.

"ENEMIES! ENEMIES HAVE SURROUNDED THE CASTLE!!"

"What!?" said Jenna and Gaara with serious faces.
