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 2

Kiara's heart jumped slightly as she thought about what she and her friends would be doing tomorrow night; that is, going to the 'Espionage'. Kiara blushed slightly as she though of the black-haired hottie she had soon at the club.

"Kiara, the bucket's overflowing!" Kiara jumped out of her thoughts to see that, sure enough, the water bucket was full.

"Oh, sorry about that Mia," Kiara said as she carried the water bucket to the stall where Mia had put away the last gelding for the night.

"No biggie. Well, looks like we're done for the day," Mia turned to look at Kiara, "And I'm off tomorrow. What should we do?"

Kiara tapper her chin for a minute, then looked at Mia with a grin. "Why don't we crash at my house tonight? We can go get Ryuu, some movies, pizza, and ice cream, and crash at my house for the night. Then we can get ready for the club tomorrow." Mia thought about it for a minute; then agreed with Kiara. The two females walked out of the stables and towards the car.

"Hey Kiara, how is the book writing business coming along?" Mia asked as she got into the drivers seat.

"Really good, actually. Erin's Story is selling like crazy and my publisher loves Acadara. She says she thinks it'll sell big time," Kiara said excitedly.

"Awesome, but then why are you here?" Mia asked.

"Oh, I thought you might want some help. And how is the horse training business going?"

"Good, good. Mr. Okanowa says that he's impressed with the quality of my work, and I finished with the last of the geldings today. Mr. Okanowa wants me to start on his stallion Monday and he said he'd have another thirty horses brought in for me and some of the guys to start on," Mia said as the car eased past the gate and onto the street.

"Which is harder to train; the mares or the geldings?" Kiara asked.

"Well, technically, the stallions are the hardest to train because they are so big and aggressive because of testosterone levels, but other than that, the mares are definitely tougher. I mean, come on, they're females. Of course they're pains." At this Mia and Kiara started laughing.

"Anyways, time to get Ryuu." Kiara ran into the shop to get Ryuu and then the girls were off of Kiara's house to party and talk about their mystery men.

At Club Espionage

"Hey Sasuke, Saaasuke. Hey, earth to Sasuke," Naruto called out as he waved his hand in front of his friends face. Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts, jumping, then glared at Naruto.

"What do you want, dobe?"

"Geez, ever since last Saturday, you, Choji, and Gaara have all been out of it," Naruto said. He thought for a moment before it clicked. "Oh, you guys are thinking about your girlfriends. Oww!" Naruto cried as he grabbed his head where Sasuke had hit him. Suddenly, Naruto felt arms pull him against a hard chest as Kakashi growled a warning, glaring dangerously at Sasuke before turning to his calm and relaxed self. Zabuza and Haku chuckled before turning back to their card game with Rock Lee and Itachi. Everyone looked around to see Sasuke spacing out again, Choji leaning on his hands with a smitten look on his face, and Gaara was glaring at his drink to the point where the others swore that if he glared any harder at the poor glass, he would shatter it.

"Gaara, there's no need to glare at the poor glass. It hasn't done anything wrong, besides be empty," Kakashi called out to Gaara, who didn't even blink in answer. Everyone just sighed, as they knew they weren't going to get any reaction from their friends that night; tomorrow night would be a better night to get a rise out them. Everyone stayed at the club until about 3 am, heading home before the sun came up. Now, vampires didn't turn to dust in the sun, they merely burned like a mother and it hurt their sensitive eyes. So, unfortunately for them, they would end up with a bitchin' headache and sunburn to make a white girl jealous.

Saturday – around 12

"Hey Ryuu, Mia; it's time to get up. I've got breakfast on the stove," Kiara called out as she bustled around the kitchen. Ryuu jumped up off of the couch where she had been sleeping, and made a bee-line for the kitchen.

"Come on Mia, that means you too." Kiara came into the living room and started to drag Mia off of the air mattress. However, all Kiara accomplished was dragging the air mattress along with her as Mia had grabbed the other end so that she wouldn't have to get up. Kiara and Ryuu were definitely day people while Mia was more of an evening and night person, so Mia was always reluctant to get out of bed. "Come on Mia. You need to get tug up! That way drag we can have tug plenty of time to pick out tug clothes for tonight. Drag We get to go see our hotties," Kiara said as she gave another tug. Mia had let go of the air mattress when Kiara said 'hottie' and so shot off the air mattress when Kiara tugged, she also fell backwards. Ryuu walked in with a plateful of food and just looked at the two before going to sit on the couch and watch TV. Kiara and Mia both joined Ryuu after getting their own plates.

8:30 pm

"Oh my god Mia, you look fucking hot!" Ryuu exclaimed as Mia walked out of the bathroom. "Wow, Kiara! You, too!" Kiara was wearing a knee-length red dress that fit her snugly, but not to snug. The dress was low cut in the back, has a v-cut style at the neck, and was sleeveless. Kiara was also wearing her lightly-curled hair in a loose bun, had a small amount of make-up on, and black heels and purse for accessories.

Ryuu was wearing a pair of baggy black pants and a black tank-top with a red-bandana around her hair. She was also wearing white sneakers. (A/N: my friend seriously is like this.)

Mia was wearing a pair of snug dark-blue jeans with a braided rope belt. She was wearing a black silk sleeveless top with a v-neck and a pair of black high-heel boots. She also had her hair pulled back into a ponytail and had three bangle bracelets on her right wrist, all with tribal drawings on them.

"Wow, we all look GOOD! This is gonna be fun," Kiara said while looking at her friends.

"Oh yeah, now to get us hotties."

"Ryuu!" Kiara and Mia both yelled at their friend as they headed out the door.

Ryuu lead her friends through the door and towards the bar. Once all three had their drinks, they turned and looked towards the balcony where the three males had been the Saturday before. All three couldn't help but feel disappointed when they couldn't see the males. However, unbeknownst to them, three males were all ready making their way across the dance floor towards them.

"Would you like to dance?"

Upon hearing the question asked behind her, Mia turned around on the barstool to come face-to-chest with a very big guy. As Mia let her eyes wander up the lean, well-toned body, her heart began to beat rapidly. Her heart felt like it had stopped when she meet the most gorgeous teal-green eyes she had ever seen. She heard someone intake a breath, but didn't realize it was herself, so captured by those eyes as she was.

"Would you like to dance?" Gaara heard himself ask as he looked down at the tiny female sitting in front of him. His heart jumped when she turned around and he couldn't help but smirk when she only came to the middle of his chest. His heart began to race as her eyes traveled upwards, his pace matching that of the girls in front of him. When their eyes locked, Gaara felt himself get lost in the smoky blue eyes. Again, Gaara couldn't help but smirk when he heard her gasp lightly. "Well, would you?" he asked again.

Mia felt herself get nudged forward and looked to her left to see both Ryuu and Kiara give her a wink before heading towards the dance floor, their own men in tow. When Mia hesitated though, she felt herself shoved out of her seat and into Gaara's chest. As she looked up towards Gaara's face, she turned a bright red and mumbled a sorry, which Gaara was barely able to pick up. (Remember, the music is really loud.) Mia let herself be led out onto the dance floor, all the while noticing that she only came to the lower-half of Gaara's chest. 'Damn, I didn't realize that he was so tall. Why Gods? Why must I be so short?!' Mia thought to herself.

Mia and Gaara danced for three songs, the bodies of the dancers around them shoving them together. Neither was bothered or even seemed to notice as they were to focused on each other. The dancing got pretty intense before Mia told Gaara that she needed to go sit down for a minute. Gaara nodded as he let Mia lead him back towards the bar, where Ryuu and Kiara were waiting for them.

"Would you like to go get some dinner?" Gaara whispered as he breathed lightly onto Mia's ear. Mia felt chills run down her spine at the breath as she nodded yes and told her friends what they would be doing before inviting them to go along. Ryuu and Kiara asked Sasuke and Choji if they wanted to go get some dinner and the two agreed to come along, making it a group date.

"Well, looks like everything is going good with those guys," Kakashi said with a chuckle as he watched the group of six exit the club.

"Hey Kakashi, do you think they know they just met their lifemates?" Zabuza asked.

"I seriously doubt they do; as of yet. They will learn quickly, though. The only problem I can see arising is the males' possessiveness. Those females seem independent and if any other males get near them, all hell will break loose," Kakashi stated as he turned back towards the group. "This is going to get interesting."

"Wow, I never realized this café was so close to my house," Mia said as she took a sip of her coffee.

"Do you live near here, then?" Sasuke asked.

"Oh yeah. I live two blocks over, in the apartment building on the corner of Elm and 86th," Mia said before taking another sip of coffee.

"What about you two?" Choji asked Kiara and Ryuu.

"I live in an apartment building on 98th Street," Kiara said.

"I live in an apartment building on Pine Street," Ryuu stated before taking a bite out of her sandwich.

"So, what about you guys? Where do you all live?" Kiara asked, not taking her eyes off of Sasuke.

"Well, us and a bunch of other friends own an apartment building on 92nd Street, so not far from here or the club. It's actually quite convenient," Choji said. Everyone continued talking until early in the morning, at which time the two groups went their separate ways with promises of next Saturday at the club.

As Mia collapsed onto the air mattress at Kiara's house, she couldn't help but smile at the night they had just had. And she couldn't quit thinking about Gaara. 'Maybe Kiara is right. Maybe this really is a second shot at love,' Mia thought as she fell asleep with thoughts of the redhead sex-god she had spent the night with, a smile on her face.
