I DO NOT OWN NARUTO AND/OR THE CHARACTERS

Her Own Woman

Naruto and Temari were at the hotel, as far as he knew, Naruto was on a mission and was actually on the look out for potential enemies as he sat by the pool.

"There you are, sweetie."

Naruto was stunned as he saw Temari in her bikini.

"Hey," he said regaining his composure.

She flustered him even further as she gave him a hug.

"I hope you don't mind," she whispered into his ears softly. "But I made dinner reservations tonight."

"That's fine with me," he said as his training as a shinobi allowed him to act normally in a situation that made him feel very uncomfortable.

They spent the rest of the day together by the pool as Naruto tried desperately to keep his eyes off of the woman he'd seen as a surrogate sister, which made her smile a little as she knew he at least felt that she was attractive enough to have to struggle with himself. Day turned to night and they went back to their room to get ready for dinner, she showered first keeping the door cracked enough to entice him.

"I wonder if he's looking," she thought as she washed.

Naruto was wrestling with himself on whether or not he should peak, the pervert that Jiraiya taught him to be saw that this was a grand opportunity but the gentleman that Tsunade scared him into being saw that it would be improper to do such a thing. Temari felt that she'd given him ample opportunity to take in the sites and didn't want to prune for what she had in store for him so she got out of the shower.

"Sorry, I took so long," she said with a smile as she was wrapped in her towel. "You know us girls."

"No problem," he said.

Temari got a grand idea as she walked to the dresser and let the towel slip down from behind and he got a view of her lower back and some of her ass, she smiled as she could see his reaction in the mirror. Naruto took his shower and they went downstairs to dinner, she chuckled as she heard his order.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"Here we are in this fancy restaurant, you can order anything you want and you still order ramen."

"Yeah, well, you know," he said as he didn't know what to say.

"I guess that's what makes you you," she said.

Naruto began to converse with her as if they were a normal couple as to not arouse suspicion and she lost herself as he talked to her like he was someone that was special to him while Naruto was keeping an eye out.

"Why don't we take this upstairs?" she asked.

"I thought you'd never ask," he said keeping up the act.

They went up stairs to their room and Naruto instantly dropped the act as he sat on the bed.

"Well, that went well," he said not noticing what Temari was doing.

"I'm sure this will too," she said standing in front of him.

He looked up and saw her in what had to be some of the sexiest lingerie he'd seen this side of Kin, his first instinct was to back away. Unfortunately, he backed up further onto the bed which she took as a signal and joined him on the bed closing in on him.

"Hey, Temari," he said nervously.

"Hey, yourself," she said smiling.

"We can't do this."

"Why not?"

"You're like a sister to me," he protested.

"Well, that's going to change soon, besides, I have enough brothers."

"That's just it," he continued. "You're Gaara's sister, you know what he'd do to me if he found us like this?"

Temari stopped her advance and sat at the edge of the bed.

"That's better," he said.

Suddenly, she began crying which came as a surprise to him and immediately threw him into that familiar role of Naruto.

"Hey, now," he said. "Don't do that. If you really want to do this then…"

"It's not that," she said through the tears.

"Then what's wrong?"

"Is that how you think of me?" she asked. "As Gaara's sister."

"Well, aren't you?" he asked confused.

"But is that all I am?" she cried.

"I'm sorry but I'm not really following, could you explain?"

She told him about parts of her life that he didn't know about, she told him about how she was looked at as Gaara or Kankuro's sister. Gaara was the Kazekage that sacrificed his life to protect the Sand Village form Deidara and grew to be more powerful than even the third Kazekage himself which gave him a great bit of fame within the ninja world let alone the Village Hidden in the Sand while she, despite being very powerful, was just another jonin. Kankuro was a puppet master whose skill surpassed Sasori, his skill grew to the point that he was able to rebuild the puppet of the Third Hokage and even Sasori himself and controlled them with great ease. He eventually began teaching ninja puppetry and became famous in his own right while she was still just another jonin which didn't earn you as many points as you may think as there was always another shinobi waiting to take your place. At least, that's what she thought was the achievements of her brothers made her self-esteem drop lower until she thought of herself as Gaara and Kankuro's sister.

"Wow," Naruto said now sitting next to her. "I had no idea, you hide it well."

"Thank you," she said. "Spy work's my strong suit."

"Listen, you're more than just Gaara and Kankuro's sister. I think that you're focusing too much on that and you should focus more on being Temari, I mean, you're very powerful in your own right and you use your own strength."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Well, don't tell them I said this but think about it, Gaara's power, even the one's he retained after being revived comes from the Shukaku and Kankuro uses those puppets. You, on the other hand, use jutsu and things that you pull off personally, even I have to rely on the Nine Tailed Fox when things get hairy. You using your own strength is something you should be very proud of, it's the thing I admire the most about you."

His words touched her deeply as she began to see things his way and felt better about her station in life.

"You certainly have a way with words," she said. "I see why you were able to get through to Gaara, thank you but don't think I've forgotten."

"Forgot what?" he asked.

He got his answer as she planted a kiss on his lips that caused him to back away.

"Temari, I…"

"Didn't I tell you that we were going to knock that brother sister crap off?"

She he tried to fight as she kissed him again but it started to feel too good and he began to return the kiss until he caught himself.

"Wait," he said. "This is all kinda sudden."

"Naruto," she said wrapping her arms around him. "You don't know what you do to me when I'm with you. Those words you spoke to me just now are how you make me feel all of time, I never felt like I was just Gaara and Kankuro's sister with you. You always looked at me like I was my own woman, even if it won't happen really, even if it's just for one night."

She let go of him and looked him directly to let him see the desire in her eyes.

"I want you to make me feel like your woman."

Naruto got the message and found himself in that old familiar situation, he knew what she wanted and kissed her. He laid her back resting her head on the pillows and looked her over, it made her feel like the only woman in the world as she saw the look in his eyes.

"Don't move," he said.

The moment took her breath away and she could only manage a slight nod as she was trying to keep her body from fidgeting from excitement. He kissed her on her neck causing her to shudder, he ran his hand all over her as continued to kiss her all over her body. His hands found their way to her breasts as he massaged them and rolled her nipples between his fingers, his hands were followed by his mouth as he began to suck them making her moan lightly as his hands were scouting her womanhood. His mouth once again followed his hands and he began to lick and suck her sex causing her to moan louder as one of his hands moved back to her breasts.

"Naruto," she called for him.

Hearing his name and seeing how ready she was he came back to her and thinking she was a bit more experienced than his other suitors in the Leaf Village, he slid inside of her but found a surprise.

"You're a…"

"Yes," she said winching from the discomfort of feeling him at her barrier.

"Just tell me when you're ready."

She took a few seconds to get used to it then gave him the okay as she wrapped her legs around his waist, he slid in completely and started to make love to her.

"Naruto," she moaned when her lips weren't occupied by his.

Her goal was being accomplished in ways she could never have imagined as she felt like the world vanished as they made love. The passion he showed her was so intense and the attention he gave her was more then she'd ever received in her life, she could feel herself getting closer as she dug her finger nails into his back leaving scratches for the Nine Tailed Fox to heal. She let out a loud moan as they found their release together and laid together in the bed, he held her close to him as tightly as possible seeming almost territorial against the rest of the world. As they laid in bed together, a thought creeped into Naruto's mind.

"I gotta say, the guys after the hotel manager are pretty patient, they haven't made a single move since we've been here."

She smiled as she saw him looking at her knowingly.

"Sorry," she said. "It's the only way I could think to get you alone."

"No, biggie, but now it makes sense why Gaara and Kankuro wouldn't look me in the eye."

"I understand if you want to leave," she said hoping he wouldn't.

"That's up to you, aren't you the client?"

They spent the next few days at the hotel together and he continued to make her feel special in everyway, physically as he made love to her when ever she desired in anyway she desired. Mentally, as he discussed subjects such as politics and the conditions of the shinobi world and emotionally, as he let her pour her heart out to him whenever she needed to. She told him about how her relationship with Shikamaru fizzled out before it really got started.

"He's a great guy," she said. "He can be sweet sometimes but it's really just to shut me up, I want my man to love me because he wants to not because I made him."

As soon as she said those words, she realized that that's what she just did to Naruto.

"I'm so sorry, Naruto," she said. "I didn't realize."

"Don't worry about it," he said calming her down with a kiss. "It's not like I didn't enjoy it myself, I mean, I did come to you a few times over the past few days, didn't I?"

At ease, she smiled and they started to make love again, she started to feel that she'd kept him away from his village and serious missions for too long and decided that it was time to leave but she held his hand the whole way back to her village wanting to maintain contact with him for as long as possible. When they got back, instead of a mission report, Naruto issued a threat to Gaara and Kankuro.

"Listen, you lying bastards," he said as they tried to look away in shame. "I'm going to get you back."

"What about Temari?" Kankuro protested.

"Don't worry about her," Naruto said. "I already got her back, over and over again. You two had just better watch your asses because I'm going to get you, you won't know when and you won't know were but I'm going to get you back."

He pointed at them as he left with a vengeful look in his eyes, Temari walked him to the village gates to see him off.

"Do you remember what I said?" he asked as they embraced.

"Yes," she said. "Do you remember how you make me feel?"

"Yeah," he chuckled.

They shared a kiss and he left for his village, when he got back, he gave Tsunade his mission report and ran into Sakura as he was leaving Hokage Tower.

"Thank you, Naruto," she said as she surprised him with a hug.

"For what?" he asked.

"I took your advice and talked to Sasuke."

"Oh, yeah," he realized. "What happened?"

"Well, he transferred from the ANBU division and became a regular jonin so that he could spend more time with me."

"That's great," he said. "Told you, you just needed to talk to him, so things are great now, right?"

"Yeah, you should see him he's a new man, I think it was all that murdering in the ANBU that made him act so strange."

"Hey, I'm glad I could help," Naruto said with a smile. "What about your duties as a medic?"

"It's going great, I've really buckled down and Sasuke's been so supportive that he lets me practice on him when I need it. I've also taken your other advice and decided to do something that not even Lady Tsunade's been able to do."

"What's that?" he asked.

"I'm working on a way to cure paralysis."

"Really?" Naruto asked with a smile. "Wow, that'd awesome."

"If you ever need me for something, just ask," she said as she left.

"Okay."

As Naruto walked through the village, he was cornered by Moegi with her teammates Konohamaru and Udon.

"Hey, Naruto," she said wrapping her arms around him.

"Oh, hey," he said hugging her back. "Hey, Konohamaru, Udon."

"Big Bro," Udon said as Konohamaru stood silent watching Moegi with her death grip on Naruto.

"What's wrong with you?" Naruto asked Konohamaru.

"Nothing," Konohamaru said before walking away with his head down.

"What's his problem?" Naruto asked Udon.

"He's Konohamaru," Moegi said.

"Do we have to say anything more?" Udon added making Naruto chuckle.

"Take it easy on him, okay?"

"Forget about him, Naruto," Moegi said. "My birthdays coming up this Friday."

"Yeah," Naruto said. "Am I invited?"

"Of course you are," she said.

"Good, now I gotta find a gift."

"You don't have to worry about that, Naruto. Besides, I'm sure I'll love whatever you have to give me."

"Yeah, well," Naruto chuckled nervously separating the two of them. "I have to get home, I just came from a mission."

"Okay, I'll give you the info later," Moegi said.
