a Naruto story
Chapter eight
When Kyo returned later he tried his best to not give anything away, but the stupid grin never left his face; "I'm guessing you two are, friends, again." Sasuke said looking up from the book he was currently reading as he was lying in the sofa. Kyo just nodded and walked into his room, getting ready for bed. Falling asleep with the grin on his face and the kiss fresh in mind.

"Minami!" Ino called for her daughter from their kitchen. "Get down here already!"
"I'm coming ma'" Minami grabbed her shirt from the end of her bed and pulled it on as she rushed down the stares to her mother in the kitchen. "Wha'?"
"For God's sake, Minami, what's with that outfit?" Her mother comment on her supposed pants and the shirt which had more hole in it then even her mothers old fish-net shirt. "Don't you have a mission or training today?" She asked serving her daughter breakfast.
"Nah, the gang's meeting up at nine-"
"Honey, it's nine fifteen." Her mother informed her.
"Crap!" She grabbed the toast, kissed her mothers cheek and rushed outside.
/
"Kiba, honey, where's Inami?" Hinata asked sitting down next to her husband at their set table.
"She's got a date with her friends." Kiba answered, giving their youngest daughter a toast and trying to get their middle child's dog away from the table. "Yumi take care of your dog!"
/
"Brother? Why are you smiling?" Kana asked her brother as he got ready to leave the Nara house. "Yes, why are you smiling?" Komo added.
"Mom, tell the twins to stop asking me the same thing!" Sano said, gabbing his wallet.
"Shika-honey, tell Kana and Komo to stop messing with their brother!" Sano heard his fathers famous 'Troublesome' before he heard the book being closed and his father walked over to them taking the twins by their hands. "Let's leave Sano to go on his date."
"It's not a date dad!" His father smiled and walked away with his smaller siblings. "See you later!"
/
"Who's missing?" Sano asked as he joined his friends at their usual meeting place. "Minami?"
"I'm-pant-here!" She said as she ran up to them. "Sorry tha' I'm late."
"It's alright, so everyone here?"
"Everyone except Lyrica-" Inami said.
"She's on a mission and it's nice not having her around." Kyo explained.
"Speak for yourself jerk, I quite like your sister." Shun added with a grin.
"Oh get a grip she would never fall for a guy like you Shun, haven't you heard? She doesn't go for the nice guys." Kyo ducked for cover behind Sano as Shun aimed a punch at him.
"Oh go hid behind your boyfriend-!" Sano and Kyo both turned beat red looking at each other, as if asking 'Did you tell him?' "I should have brought my camera! I would have made millions from that picture alone!" Shun remarked grinning like a mad-man.
"So you' finally hocked up, huh?" Minami asked, as she had gotten her breathing even. Once more Kyo and Sano looked at each other, hoping for the other to answer the question. "Taking tha' as a yes!"

"Yurika, could you send for Haruno-san for me? Tell her I would like her to join me for lunch if she can." Naruto's secretary nodded and left his office, to do the tasks he had asked her to do. She was happy being the sixths secretary, even if he was late more often then not and he tended to doze off during the later hours of the day. But he was a great man, a great Hokage and even if she had been taught to hate him when she was growing up, she had given him a chance and she had proven right with her own judgment. Her parents didn't like the idea of their only daughter working for that bastard, but even they had to admit that he was a darn great Hokage despite all the things that had been said about him. Reaching the hospital she asked to talk with doctor Haruno and was lead into said womens office. "Oh hi there miss Jun, what can I do for you today?" Sakura asked looking up from her papers. "Hokage-sama was wondering if you would join him for lunch today?"
"He sent you all the way here to ask me to a lunch date?"
"Actually he asked me just to send for you but I had other errands in the area so thought I would come in person, miss Haruno."
"I see, well you can tell Naruto that I do have some time to spare for my old friend. I'll be coming around twelve."
"Thank you, miss Haruno. I will tell Hokage-sama. Good bye."
"Have a nice day miss Jun." With that she left the hospital, did her other errands before she got back to the office informing Naruto that Sakura would be joining him for lunch at twelve.

"Lunch!" Minami howled. "I need food!" They other laughed as their friend held her arms over her stomach as it made a sound.
"Didn't you eat anything this morning, Minami?" Sano asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Nah, ma' made breakfast but if ya' missed it I was late."
"Meaning you missed breakfast. I guess it's time for lunch either way." The other agreed and they went from the paint ball place they've just been at down town to get something to eat.
"I'm just saying if we would separate you two, then just maybe the other team would have a chance!" Shun explained. "Come on, when you two are in the same team you always win."
"Not always." Sano tried. "It was that one time when-"
"We won that." Kyo said, sipping on his drink. "So just because we are a good team we shouldn't be in the same team? That's just stupid, Shun."
"Sano next time you'll be in mine and Minami's team!" Shun hollered.
"Shun! Calm down."
"Only if you're with us next time!" Sano looked at Kyo who just shrugged.
"Fine! I'll be in your team next time." Minami and Shun both jumped Sano hugging him. "Air! Please!" They let go of him, grinning like crazy.
"I'm not sure I like them grinning that much, hey Inami-chan you're cousins with Shun. He's up to something ain't he?" Kyo asked leaning close to Inami, who blushed.
"Probably, Kyo-kun." She answered, for once without stuttering.
"Then you'll have to help me and kick their butt next time." He said smiling leaning back in his place, Inami nodded becoming even redder. Not going unnoticed from the others.
"Hey Kyo! Why are you hitting on my cousin, in front of Sano?"
"I wasn't hitting on her, right Inami-chan." She shook her head. "See!"
/
"Lunch coming!" Sakura said opening the door to Narutos office. "You asked for a date, here I am."
"If I knew it was this easy getting a date with Haruno-san, I would have asked a long time ago."
"I'm here to see Naruto. What are you doing here, Reiko-san?" She asked the man sitting in the sofa as she placed the lunch boxes on Narutos desk.
"I'm here to see Hokage-sama, Haruno-san." He answered with a smile. "But he's apparently in a meeting right now and will be back any minute. Or so I was told." He patted the empty seat next to him. "Why don't you come join me as we wait?" Hesitating she sat down next to him.
"How are the business going, Reiko-san?"
"Gin, please. And the business is going just fine. How is the hospital working?"
"It's going well, the newest nurses are doing a great job." She focused on her clutching hands in her knee. "How..."
"He's good, they both are." He answered. "It wouldn't hurt if you and your daughter came and visit us. He miss her and Riko wants to meet his sister."
"I'll try my best, Reiko-san. But you do know how he feels about me." He nodded.
"But he wants what's best for his children."
"Then he shouldn't have separated them!" She rose from her seat. "If he wants what's best for them he wouldn't have made me choice one and leave the other! Nor should he have-"
"I know how you must feel, Sakura-san." He stood and took her in his arms. "It couldn't have been easy. Why don't I take Riko with me next time I come for a visit?" Sakura looked at him, smiling.
"I would like that, very much so."
"Sorry I am late!" Naruto said, bursting through the door. "Um did I interrupt something?" Smiling Sakura shook her head, Gin kissed her cheek and let her go.
"Why don't you let me see my grandchild next time too? Oh and Hokage-sama I left the papers to your secretary send me a reply when you have looked over them. Now I'll take my leave and let you two eat your lunch." He bowed to Naruto. "Sakura-san, I'll be coming in a week if that is alright?"
"Yes, Gin-san, that is alright. I'll make sure Lyrica is home then." Gin smiled and left. "You planed for this didn't you?" Sakura said, sitting down in Narutos chair opening the lunch box.
"Me? Nah I'm not so smart, Sakura-chan. You know that." He said smiling, pulling out a chair joining her at his desk.
