I do not own the show Naruto or any of the characters

Where is the love?

Before I could ask what Kankuro more about his father the shopkeeper's daughter came in with a tray full of food. I could tell from the moment she first entered the room that she had alternative motives with Kankuro, she had this look in her eyes I looked over at him as she set the tray down near him. His face had immediately changed from the face he had just had to one of flirtation. The girl twirled her hair on her finger momentarily before she opened her over lip-glossed lips and began to coe over him for a good ten minutes. She gave him many peeks at her ample cleavage. To my surprise and annoyance he actually flirted back. I got this strange feeling in my stomach as they talked and flirted. She kept giving me the nasty eye as I sat there. I couldn't take it anymore as she began to feed him; the thing in my stomach was getting worse. The room was hot and I was beginning to see red. I stood up Kankuro gave me a questioning glance as I excused myself and the girl gave me a smug smile. I quickly left the room and almost ran into the shopkeeper.

"How is the young man? Did he get the food I sent up?" the man asked

I smiled the best I could trying to hide the inner emotions that were running wild within me and I replied, "Yes he is doing great and he is eating the food right now." With your sluty daughter

"That is wonderful." He said

"Thank you so much for taking us in yesterday."

"Anything to help you hard working shinobi."

I gave him a smile and to asked him to tell Kankuro if he asked that I was going out for a little training.

I had been out training for nearly two hours when I decided to take a break it had been a long time since I had trained this hard. Kankuro showed up as I was taking a sip of my water. I looked over as he limped over and sat next to me. We sat there in silence for a good five minutes before he broke the awkward silence.

"Why did you abandon me in there with her?" he asked looking at me.

I turned away as he asked this "It looked like you were happy with the view."

He laughed and I couldn't help but look up at him, his laugh sounded so beautiful to my ears. Then he broke me out of my trance by saying; "You mean suffocating me with them."

This time I laughed and we feel into a comfortable silence. Until he broke it again and said, "Seriously why did you leave?"

I didn't know how to respond to this question because how could I tell him that I had been jealous, I barley even knew him. I decided to turn the questioning on him this time by asking him, "Why did you take that shuriken for me the other day."

He looked away and turned his head up towards the sky as he let out a sigh and said, "I don't know I just saw it coming and before I knew it I was hit by a shuriken."

"Well thank you for taking it for Me." he gave me a huge smile as I said this and we got up and began to walk back towards the shop we were staying at.
