Miso Ramen

Disclaimer: Naruto is not mine.

Summary: A bunch of oneshots of the pairing NaruTema. Requested by Kage Mistress of Shadows. What happens when the unexpected happens?

"Ne, ne, Sasuke-kun." Sasuke turned around to face Sakura, who had an extremely smug look on her face. "What is it now?" He asked impatiently, wanting to go and train. "Did you hear that Naruto stopped eating Miso Ramen with anyone except Temari?" Now Sasuke was interested and he sat down on a bench, his elbows resting on his lap and his hands supporting his head. "Spill." He demanded. Sakura nodded sat down and began to explain.

------------------------------

"Hey, Naruto, did you know that Gaara, Kankurou, and Temari are coming from Sunagakure to visit today?" Kiba commented over his ramen. Naruto nodded, "I can't wait to see Gaara dattebayo! You know, so see how the Kage life is treating him." Kiba nodded and Akamaru barked. "Well then, see you later."

"Gaara! How's life treating you dattebayo?" The Kazekage gave Naruto a thin smile. "As always." He answered the question with mock depression, "Very busy, and very boring."

"Heya bozu (squirt)." Kankurou joked in greeting. Naruto replied with a sharp, "Heya paint freak." They both glared at each other and soon started laughing.

"Hey Temari!" Naruto greeted the oldest sand sibling. Temari didn't say anything, but nodded her head in greeting, turning away as if she was blushing. Naruto furrowed his brows in worry.

He pulled Gaara to the side, "Hey, Gaara. What's wrong with Temari dattebayo? Normally she would answer me." Gaara looked at his sister with a bit of concern. "Well, she's been like this since I told her that we were going to Konohagakure. Maybe something bad happened to her?" Naruto thought for a minute. "I'll invite Temari for ramen and ask her what's wrong. Then I'll tell you dattebayo." Gaara nodded. "Sounds like a plan."

"Ne, Temari." She turned around to face Naruto. "Want to go and get some ramen with me?" She nodded.

"Two miso ramens kudasai!" Teuchi nodded and started making the order. Temari looked at her lap. "Eh? Temari, what's wrong? You don't seem to be yourself dattebayo." She seemed to redden around the eyes. "Shut up." She muttered, now glaring at Naruto. Naruto put up his hands in defense. "Okay Temari dattebayo…" Teuchi sat down two bowls of Miso Ramen in front of them. "Enjoy!" He proclaimed, looking very proud of what he had made.

"Itadakimasu!" Naruto loudly announced, while Temari mumbled, "Itadakimasu." They both slurped up their ramen quickly. Temari wanted to leave and Naruto wanted a second bowl.

"Naruto, you shouldn't eat so much." Naruto who was on his tenth bowl frowned at Temari. "Come on Temari, you normally gobble up like five bowls!" She crossed her arms. "Naruto, you should know very well that I care for your well being!" Naruto winked at her. "Yeah, I know, you're like the sister I never had!"

Her head dropped a little bit. "…Is that all you think of me?" He looked at her strangely. "What's wrong Temari?" She looked straight at him. "Is that all you think of me, as a sister?" Naruto was speechless. "Well… I… er… Temari… umm…" She leaned over, spilling the Miso Ramen onto the floor and smacked her lips on his.

As suddenly as it had happened, it ended and Temari got up to leave. Naruto grabbed her wrist and spun her around. "You never let me finish what I said…" He whispered smugly, now dragging a blushing Temari out the door.

---------------------------------------

Needless to say, Sasuke was speechless. Sakura was also looking a bit flustered at the fact that she told the exact story. Sasuke tried to say something to break the awkwardness of the situation, but couldn't decide what to say. Finally he blurted out, "The dope actually did that?" At that spilt second, Naruto decided to show up. He crossed his arms and stared at Sasuke. "I did what?" He only got back blank stares. "Ne-Never mind Naruto…"
