I DO NOT OWN NARUTO AND/OR THE CHARACTERS

Temari Takes Aim

Hinata went into the house after her date with Naruto giggling like she'd never had before, as she went to her room, she passed her sister's who heard her. Hanabi decided to investigate as she'd never heard her sister in such a state.

"So, did you and Kiba finally do it?" she asked. "I want to hear all about it."

"No," Hinata answered. "Something much better happened and I heard you were closer to that than I am anyway."

"Who told you?" Hanabi asked with surprise in her eyes.

"You just did."

"Damn it," Hanabi said. "Well, why are you so happy?"

"I just went out on a date with Naruto," Hinata answered triumphantly.

Hanabi's heart dropped as she heard the news, she had always figured that since her sister was so spineless, she'd be the one to bring Naruto into the Hyuuga fold.

"That's great," she lied. "Run it from the top."

Hinata explained the situation with Kiba and how she worked up enough courage to ask Naruto out, the more Hanabi heard, the deeper into despair she sunk.

"Now what am I going to do?" she thought.

Naruto woke up the next day bright and early, if there was one thing he was happy about since his lady friends made their intentions known, it was that they stopped showing up under the cover of night which allowed him to get a good night's rest. He got up and started to fix himself some breakfast when a knock came at his door, he opened it to find Kin waiting on him.

"Oh, hey, Kin," he said welcoming her in.

"Morning," she said giving him a hug and a kiss.

"I was just making some breakfast, want some?"

"Uh, yeah, I could eat."

She followed him into the kitchen where she moved him out of the way and began cooking the food alone.

"When'd you learn how to cook?" he asked.

"I just learned," she said. "Let me know how it is?"

After she finished, she sat down and didn't try to eat as she waited to his reaction.

"Damn" he said taking his first bite. "This is really good."

"Thank you," she said with a big grin as she began eating.

After he ate the breakfast, she did the dishes, to his surprise, she began cleaning up the whole house to the point that he had to stop her.

"Hey, what's with all the domestication?"

She didn't want to tell him as she wanted him to notice on his own but looking into his eyes always made her brain stop and she just told him the truth.

"I wanted to show you that I could be good around the house."

"Why?" he asked.

"Well, I asked Anko for advice and she said that I needed to do something to make myself stand out," Kin admitted.

"So, why'd you choose to learn housework?"

"Well, because I've never seen any of them do it. The closest is Hinata when she cooked for us on a mission once, but she and Ino are members of high ranking clans which means they probably have servants and Tenten probably doesn't have time since she has to train with those weapons all the time."

Naruto gave her words some thought as he wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm surprised," he said.

"Why?"

"When the hell did Anko start giving out good advice?"

They both laughed as they knew that Anko's advice often ranged from bad to not very good.

"Look," he said. "You don't have to worry about standing out, I gave you a nickname didn't I?"

"Yeah," she said.

"Besides, you're Kin Tsuchi, you can't help but stand out, not only are you one of the hottest pieces in the village, you're smart, talented, and caring. What's not to like?"

"Thank you," she said laying her head on his shoulder. "You always know what to say."

"Well, I say I have to go," he said giving her a kiss on the neck.

As he moved to leave, he felt a tug on his arm, he looked back and saw an amorous look on her face.

"No," he said knowing what was on her mind. "I have to meet Grandma."

"Naruto," she said coming in and kissing him. "Make her wait."

"I can't, I have a mission."

"Naruto, this is going to happen."

"Oh, alright," he said knowing he wasn't going to make it out of there without giving her what she needed. "How about I leave a clone for you?"

"Okay," she said.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

He created a clone and left it with her as he left to meet with Lady Tsunade. They kissed as he carried her up the stairs to his room, he laid her down on the bed and took his clothes off while she took off hers.

"Come here," she said.

Their lips met once again as they fondled each other's sex.

"I can't wait anymore," she said.

He followed her command and slid inside of her.

"Yes," she moaned.

He started to make lover to her as she wrapped her legs around his waist and their tongues danced in each other's mouths. He ran his fingers through her hair as every thrust made her moan louder until they came together, they lied in bed holding each other but that didn't last long as she was soon ready for another round. When they were done, the clone was ready to disperse and go back to Naruto not knowing if he was already on the mission or not.

"I'm sorry for asking you this but I don't know where the real me is."

"What?" she asked.

"Do you mind finishing cleaning up downstairs and locking up when finished?"

"No, but I'm surprised."

"At what?" he asked.

"You trust me with your place like that?"

"Hey, I've let you touch my penis," he said. "If that isn't trust, I don't know what is."

They shared a laugh and a kiss before he dispersed back to Naruto who was in Tsunade's office getting his mission report.

"Why's it a solo mission," he asked.

"Because, you'll be rendezvousing in the Sand Village with your teammate," Tsunade said. "From there you'll both receive your orders from Gaara, understood?"

"Gotcha," she said on the way out.

Whether or not Kin knew it, their early morning encounter made her stand out even more as he thought about her while he left.

"She wanted to stand out from the others by showing me that she'd good around the house?" he thought. "That means she wants to be in my house enough to be doing housework, only housewives…"

That's when how much Naruto meant to his lady friends hit him.

"Kin's actually trained herself to be a housewife for me," he thought. "Wow."

As Naruto was leaving, he bumped into Ino.

"Hey, you," she said with a smile on her face.

"Ino," he said. "How's your fine ass doing?"

"Oh, Naruto," she said blushing at his compliment. "Where are you off to?"

"Mission."

"Where to?"

"The Sand Village," he said.

"By yourself?" she asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, I know," he said. "Grandma said that I'd meet my teammate there and Gaara would give us our orders."

"That bitch!" Ino thought behind a smile.

Ino's anger came from the last time she and Temari spoke, Ino walked into Lady Tsunade's office to find Naruto giving his mission report. Temari was in the office as well having some business to handle for her village.

"Okay, Dismissed," Tsunade said.

"Hey, Ino," Naruto said giving her a hug.

Ino saw Temari glaring at the two of them and decided to turn it up by making sure their pelvises touched as she gave him a kiss on the cheek, the display even took Tsunade by surprise.

"Damn," she thought. "That's not very appropriate but I think it did the trick."

Tsunade figured out what Ino was doing as she could see her glaring back at Temari who started smiling pretending not to be jealous.

"You sure you want to hug me like that?" Naruto asked not really knowing what was going on. "I'm still a bit funky from the mission."

"Sorry," Ino said. "See you later?"

"Sure," he said. "Bye, everyone."

"Bye, Naruto," Temari said suggestively. "And I really enjoyed the last time you came to the Sand Village, spending all that time together felt…"

Temari smirked at Ino who was now permeating rage.

"…so good."

"Oh, we gettin' real now," Tsunade thought.

"Yeah, I had fun too," Naruto said before leaving.

Although a bit more experienced in the ways of women from the past year, he still didn't think anything of Temari's words as he still thought she looked at him as a little brother and he really didn't understand when women were taking subtle shots at each other. Back in the office, Ino's purpose was overshadowed by the current conversation Temari lead.

"That is one fine piece of shinobi you got there, Lady Tsunade," she said as she watched him leaving from the window.

"Yeah," Ino said. "And I'm glad he's all mine."

"Yours?" Temari asked.

"Well, he is a Leaf Shinobi and thus a comrade of mine."

"I see," Temari said. "That's probably why he enjoys being in the Sand Village so much. No offense, Lady Tsunade."

"None taken."

"Hey, why are you always here," Ino asked in annoyance. "Don't they have someone else that can make deliveries and shit?"

"You know I'm able to handle a package," Temari said with a smile. "Well, Naruto does at least."

"Well, it's delivered," Ino said. "Now, why don't you make like the wind and blow?"

"Again" Temari countered. "Ask Naruto and he'll tell you how I blow."

"It's probably the only thing he'd enjoy," Ino came back. "I heard that the desert isn't the only place to find sand in your village."

Temari was stuck as she underestimated Ino's ability to be catty and had no comeback.

"This is fun, isn't it?" Tsunade asked.

"Why the hell did I even come here?" Ino asked as her dust up with Temari caused her to lose her train of thought.

"Yeah, why did you come here," Tsunade asked as she too forgot. "Oh, yeah. I wanted to know how you were coming along with studying the medicinal properties of that plant."

"Oh, it's suitable for easing pain and relieving tension, the users also develop slight feelings of euphoria."

"What are its side effects?" Tsunade asked.

"The tests show that the users become either extremely focused or unfocused in different cases and it induces impossible hunger all cases."

"So, what usage do you recommend?" Tsunade asked.

"In combat, it could be used as a pain killer for minor injuries until medical attention can be attained, it can also alleviate fear and anxiety, the problem comes from the focus issue as said before. In regular medicine, this plant can help with glaucoma, carpal tunnel syndrome, and with cancer patients who suffer from loss of appetite."

"Okay," Tsunade said. "Keep up the good work."

"Yes, ma'am," Ino said.

Temari wasn't about to take losing sitting down as Ino left.

"You know, Lady Tsunade, I think I should apologize to Naruto," Temari said.

"Why?" Tsunade asked unwittingly playing straight man for Temari.

"He thinks I'm sort of task master as a mission leader, he kept telling me that I rode him too hard. Maybe the next time we work together, I'll let him take the lead and he can ride me as hard as he can."

"Bitch," Ino thought.

Despite her words, Temari had never done anything with Naruto but she knew that the other girls in the Leaf Village didn't know that. Naruto was concerned as Ino was just staring off into space.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Yeah," she said. "Hey, Naruto, you don't have to go right now, do you?"

"Pretty much, yeah."

"That's too bad, I'd love to give you something to remember me by."

"Yeah, sorry about that," he said rubbing the back of his head.

"I have an idea," she said. "Why don't you leave a clone?"

"Yeah, okay."

Naruto created a clone and was on his way, after a few days of travel, he reached the Village Hidden in the Sand.

"Man, these cliffs always creep me out," she said as he entered the village.

He reached the guards and they showed him to Gaara's office.

"What's goin' on, Gaara? What's up, Kankuro?"

"Hello, Naruto," they said not really looking at him.

"What's with you two?" Naruto asked confused.

"I can't believe she's making me do this," Gaara thought. "Nothing, Naruto, let's just get down to your mission."

"Okay," Naruto said. "What is it? Who's my partner?"

"I am," Temari said walking in.

"Hey, Temari," Naruto said.

"Hey, yourself."

"The owner of the Happy Dragon Hotel needs some bodyguards," Gaara said.

"So, why'd you call me?"

"The hotel is very large and requires a good number of shinobi for the security, we're still recovering from the war with the Akatsuki and Orochimaru and don't have the shinobi to spare so we subcontracted to you because of your ability to create a large number of shadow clones without tiring."

"When do we leave?" Naruto asked.

"Right now," Temari said.

As Temari pulled him by the arm, she had one thought in her head.

"I'm going to do away with this "as a younger brother" crap real soon."

As they traveled, they went over the particulars of the mission.

"Take your forehead protector off," she said as she took hers off and sealed her fan.

"Why?"

"The owner already knows we're coming and he knows my face so we don't have to report to him," she explained.

"Why not?"

"Because we're going in as a normal couple, anything else might tip anyone who's looking off."

"Okay," Naruto said.

They got to the hotel and she checked them in to their room.

"You remember how the employee's here dressed, right?" she asked.

"Yeah, Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he said. "Transform!"

He created ten clones and transformed them so that some of them looked like employees and others like guests and had them go on patrol after developing a signal so that they'd know who Naruto was really.

"So, what do you want to do first, honey?" she asked playfully.
