Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from the Naruto Anime or Manga, I do not make any profits from this story, and I do not copy anyone's stories. If this sounds familiar with any other story, sorry, but I get my inspiration from Christine Feehan and her dark series. FYI, THIS IS A VAMPIRE FIC.

Rating: The rating as of now will be T, but it may change as time goes on. I haven't decided yet, but be forewarned that I will at least put M+ rating on the chapters that have mature content, if any is written at all. There will be cursing and definitely Yaoi (boy on boy). If you are uncomfortable with this, then I suggest you not read.

The Espionage

Chapter One

"Come on, Mia! You know you want to come! Ryuu said she found this new club that she wants to take us too. And now that you're 21, you can drink with us!" Kiara exclaimed while looking at her friend.

"I don't know. I'm not a big drinker; really, none of us are," Mia said as she finished stabling the last gelding for the night. Mia was a horse trainer and worked with horses of all training levels so as to finish their training. Kiara was a newly discovered author and helped Mia around the stables when she needed some money. Their other friend, Ryuu, was a tattoo artist and had just recently bought a small shop from which to work.

"Oh, come on. We need to have a little fun. When was the last time we had some fun? Before we moved here, which was over a year ago," Kiara stated. Mia, Kiara, and Ryuu had all moved to Kyoto over a year ago when their relationships had gone sour and ended in an ugly way. They probably wouldn't have moved and distanced themselves from their families (who weren't very supportive anyway) if they hadn't blamed the girls for their partners cheating. But because of this problem, all three had moved to Kyoto together and became a family of their own, sisters if you will. They all now lived within a mile of each other, each in their own little one room apartment.

"What does Ryuu say?" Mia and Kiara had both come to the conclusion that Ryuu's parents were more than a little eccentric, what with living in America and calling their daughter 'Dragon' (rough translation).

"Ryuu says, 'Let's go get our asses wasted!'" A new voice exclaimed from behind the two females. Mia and Kiara turned around to see their friend, Ryuu, peeking her head through the door of the stables. "Now let's go. We have about an hour before dark and about three hours before the club opens. We have to go take showers and then get changed. I say we all get dressed like the drop-dead sexy gals we are!" Ryuu exclaimed as everyone headed down to Mia's car. Everyone, i.e. Kiara and Ryuu, knew that Mia would say yes and so had all their clothes and everything ready to head to Mia's apartment.

Sigh "Alright, alright. I'll go with you guys to the club. Hell, it would be nice to have a shot of vodka and a martini," Mia finally said with a smile. Kiara and Ryuu both gave a cheer with promises of how she wouldn't regret it. As Mia chuckled at the hyperness of her two friends, she also had a feeling that she wouldn't regret this night. The small group continued on their way to Mia's apartment for a night filled with fun.

Naruto bounced across the dance floor and headed up the stairs to the VIP balcony before jumping onto the lap of his lover, Kakashi.

"Hi Kakashi. What are you doing?" Naruto asked as he slid into the lap of the older man. Naruto also oh-so-subtly snatched Kakashi's copy of 'Icha-Icha Paradise' (Makeout Paradise) as he gave Kakashi a quick peck on the lips.

"Hey, Naruto! Give that back! I'm at a good part!" Kakashi whined as he made a grab for the book.

"Not until you spend some time paying attention to me," Naruto said with smirk.

"Why hello Naruto! How are you this fine and youthful night?" Rock Lee exclaimed excitedly from his seat upon Itachi's lap.

"Lee, calm yourself. Otherwise, you will be sitting on the floor," Itachi said, no threat in his voice. Even though Lee was much older than Itachi, he still acted like a child at times. As Lee would put it, it is the power of youth in his soul.

"Do you have to be so solemn all the time, Itachi?" Zabuza asked with a chuckle as he gave Haku, who was sitting on his lap, a love squeeze on the hip.

"Now, now Zabuza. Don't be mean. Hey, let's go dance." Haku looked at Zabuza hopefully.

"In a little. Let me finish my drink. Hey Sasuke, Choji, you want something to drink?" At Zabuza's question, both raised a nearly full glass to Zabuza before they went back to their card game along with Haku and Naruto, both of which had just joined. The final member of the group, Gaara, was sitting with his back to the group facing towards the edge of the balcony looking over the dance floor. The group of nine was situated around a round table with Gaara facing the dance floor, Naruto to his right. Continuing clockwise around the table there was Kakashi next to Naruto, then Rock Lee and Itachi, then Choji, Sasuke, then Haku and Zabuza. Everyone was talking and joking when suddenly Gaara tensed and sat forward, looking out across the dance floor.

"Damn Ryuu, how the hell did you find this club?" Mia asked as she walked through the door with her friends.

"I happened to walk by the other day and thought it would be fun to come check it out," Ryuu shouted over the music, which was almost to loud for the girls to take. They made their way to the bar where each ordered their drinks; a martini for Kiara, a sex-on-the-beach for Ryuu, and a glass of vodka for Mia, all the girls sitting back to lean on the bar with their drinks.

"Hey, I think you have an admirer," Kiara said to Mia, pointing towards the VIP balcony where all three could see a redhead staring straight at Mia. Mia blushed before downing the rest of her drink and turning for the bartender to refill her glass. She could hear Kiara and Ryuu giggling at her as she turned back around.

"Yeah, well, it seems you have some admirers of your own," Mia said with a smirk as they turned to look at the balcony again. Sure enough, two of the redheads' companions were also staring. Kiara and Ryuu both quickly turned back to the bar, blushes coloring their cheeks as Mia laughed at them.

Gaara sat forward and followed the black-haired beauty with her eyes. The woman had two companions with her and they all were now sitting at the bar, talking. It was difficult to hear what they were saying over the music, but he was sure he heard something about an admirer and point at him. He also saw the woman blush before finishing her drink.

"Hey Gaara, what's up?" Naruto asked, worried that something was wrong with his friend. Gaara just continued to stare, so Choji and Sasuke went over to see what Gaara was staring at. They looked to see that Gaara was staring at a young woman, but what caught their eyes was her companions.

"Naruto, come here," Gaara said without moving his eyes. When Naruto came over, Gaara pointed. "You see that young woman over there?" When Naruto nodded, Gaara continued, "I want you to find out what her name is."

"But Gaara, she's a human…" Naruto began. Before he could continue though, Sasuke interrupted, "Naruto, just do it, please. And find out the names of her friends too." Everyone stopped and just gaped. Sasuke Uchiha said 'please', they were all surprised, to say the least.

"Alright, I'm going. But you guys owe me for this. Lee, come with me." Lee immediately jumped off of his lovers lap, but not before giving Itachi a quick peck on the lips.

"Yes Naruto. We shall meet these women of youth!" Lee exclaimed.

"Lee, Lee. You might want to tone it down just a little. We don't want to scare them," Naruto said while smiling at his enthusiastic friend. Lee scratched the back of his head while chuckling nervously.

"Right, sorry about that." Lee and Naruto made their way down the stairs, past the bouncer (who stopped non-VIP's from going upstairs), and began to make their way across the dance floor towards the girls.

"Hi ladies, could we buy you all a drink?" Naruto asked once he and Lee reached the group. All three turned around to scrutinize the two men.

"Sorry guys. If you're here looking to find some dates, then you'd have better look elsewhere," Mia stated as she began to turn back towards the bar.

"No, no. Please don't mistake us, Ms…?" Lee looked at Mia mistakenly.

"Mia."

"…Ms. Mia. We are here not to find dates, but merely to get to know you young ladies. Some of our friends," with this Lee gestured towards the balcony where the three males were still observing them, "…would like to know your names." Kiara grabbed Mia's arm and whispered in her ear,

"You know, these guys seem nice and those other guys are HOT! Why don't we give them a chance? Hell, it just might work out this time." Kiara gave Mia's arm a reassuring 'I-got-your-back' squeeze as Mia nodded before turning back to the guys standing before her.

"Alright, but first: What are your and your friends' names?" Mia asked as she crossed her arms and arched an eyebrow at them.

"Ok, well, I'm Naruto Uzumaki…"

"And I am Rock Lee, master of judo and youthfulness!" Ryuu started giggling as Lee scratched the back of his head nervously while Naruto started yelling at him about being an idiot.

"Anyways…" Kiara said, "…their names?"

"Oh right, ok. The one on the left is Choji Akimichi, the one on the right is Sasuke Uchiha, and the redhead in the middle is Gaara Sabuko," Naruto pointed at each in turn.

"Now for your names," Lee said, still hyper.

"Alright, I'm Mia Takahashi."

"I'm Kiara Monoke."

"And I'm Ryuu Rioshi." Mia, Kiara, and Ryuu let Naruto and Lee buy them one more drink before they left seeing as it was past midnight and all three had to work in the morning. All three felt the eyes of Gaara, Sasuke, and Choji follow them out. Naruto and Lee walked back upstairs and told Sasuke, Choji, and Gaara (and everyone else since they were listening in and were interested in the females that had captivated their friends) everything they had learned and that the girls said they would be at the club again the next Saturday around 9:00.
