Me: I got sick this week, and I'm still getting over it. I hate my life.
Kaya: it was a vary bad week for me.
Me: I was in pain!
Kaya: so was I! You wouldn't leave me alone!
Me: she's so mean she wouldn't update for me. T-T
Kaya: suck it up.
I let her drag me into hair places, nail places, and I shuddered when she took me to this one waxing. After all that was done she took me back to her room to do my make-up, and get me dress.
"Pucker."
She ordered. I did as I was told learning at the hair place to do what she says, or feel her wrath.
'She's scary like Ino.'
I thought thinking about the last time Ino tried to doll me up. After that was done she did herself.
"Temari what did Naruto give you?"
I asked. She looked up from her mirror.
"Oh it's for tonight not to worry you'll love it!"
I bit the inside of my cheek trying to figure out what Naruto could've gotten.
"Done!"
Temari exclaimed standing up. She walked over to her closet pulling out a sparkling black strapless dress.
"Yours?"
I asked praying it wasn't for me. She nodded.
"Yeah now close your eyes, and I'll get yours out."
She said. I closed my eyes hearing rustling then there was something in my lap.
"Open."
Temari said dramatically. Opening my eyes there was a simple forest green thick strap dress on my lap it was perfect for me.
"Mine?"
I asked staring at it.
"Yes! Go change!"
She said eagerly pushing me in the bathroom. I put the dress on surprise at how I looked all dolled up.
"Let me see! Let me see!"
Temari shouted on the other side of the door. I unlocked it letting her in she gasp in shock.
"Well?"
I asked. She smirked.
"You are getting lay tonight!"
She said with an approving nod. I blushed.
"Temari!"
I whined.
"What? What are you so… don't tell me your still a virgin?"
I blushed more.
"I-I-I-I-I-I was never the one to get asked out on dates."
I confessed. She nodded.
"If you want to lose it Kankuro will be more then happ…"
"Temari!"
I shouted running out of the bathroom. She laughed behind me.
"It's true, and I knew you had a crush on him in the past."
She said. I gapped at her.
"H-h-h-how?"
"You were easy to read, and he felt the same… I think he still might you?"
I looked to my bare feet. I didn't know two weeks ago probably but for the last three days I been falling more, and more in love with Naruto… did I just accepted it? Yeah I did. I am in move with Naruto Uzumaki but Kankuro…
"I kinda like someone else."
I admitted. She nodded.
"Don't look so down about it he'll find someone else. Anyways. Come on before we're late."
She handed me a pair of strappy three-inch black heels. I bit my lip nervously as we got closer to the club.
"Stop doing that your ruining you lipstick."
Temari scolded applying more lipstick. The guy up front let us in no questions asked.
"We didn't question us."
I said shock. She giggled.
"Perks of being the Kazekage's siblings."
I giggled with her as we made our way through the crowd of people. Temari led me to a back room where we found the boys already drinking. I gave Naruto a 'what are you doing?' Look. He grinned sheepishly at me but it faded away the more I stared him down.
"They made me!"
He confessed.
"Way to have some balls dude."
Kankuro said. Naruto looked at the table grumbling.
"You look beautiful."
Kankuro said walking over to me. I blushed.
"T-thank you."
I stuttered out. He took my hand twirling me around. I giggled a little.
"So do you like the dress Naruto got you?"
Temari asked. I stared awestruck at her.
'Naruto got this for me?'
I thought.
"Naruto got this for me?"
I asked turning to him. He shrugged with a smirk.
"Remember your dare?"
I nodded. So that's why he got it for me he wanted to see what I look like in one.
"Thanks."
I said. Kankuro still held my hand led me to the booth.
"Drink?"
He asked. I could smell the alcohol in his breath.
"I don't know?"
"Don't worry we're all here doing it."
Kankuro said.
"Iori you don't have to if you don't want to."
Gaara said. I looked to Naruto he gave me a reassuring smile. I took the glass from Kankuro smelling it, it smelled weird but I poured it down my throat feeling it burn. I gagged.
"It… burns."
I said through a gag. Kankuro laughed next to me putting an arm around my neck.
"It'll go away with the more you drink."
He said pulling to him. I glanced at Naruto I thought I saw an irritated look on him but it was gone.
"Kankuro stop molesting her!"
Temari scolded hitting him in the head with her hand.
"I'm hugging my friend!"
Temari gave me apologetic look. I shook my head letting her know not to worry. After a few more drinks I was beginning to feel kinda loopy I guess. I leaned against Kankuro's chest enjoying the warmth.
"You are vary sexy."
He purred in my ear. I giggled uncontrollably.
"So… do… you."
I said. He leaned into my face giving me a smirk.
"I love this song!"
Naruto exclaimed. Kankuro pulled away from me, and I blinked like I was just hypnotized. I also notice Temari gone.
"Where's Temari?"
"She went home she's missing Shikamaru."
Gaara said. I nodded forgetting that they were dating. Naruto seemed to have been sulking for some reason.
"What's wrong Naruto?"
I asked over the music.
"Nothing."
He muttered. I was feeling kinda worry about him he's not the type to sulk.
"Iori come dance with me."
Kankuro said dragging me to the dance floor. I looked back at Naruto who was glaring at us before he turned back to Gaara.
"Naruto seems pissed."
I told Kankuro. He pulled me close to his chest as a slow song started.
"Maybe it's the alcohol?"
He offered. I nodded. It does make you act different so that probably it.
"Yeah."
I agreed. We danced a little before Kankuro pulled me aside at the bar. He ordered us a couple of drinks.
"I don't think I can handle more."
I told him. He chuckled.
"You can always handle more."
He handed me the glass.
"Cheers."
He said tapping our together.
"Cheers."
I said back downing the drink when I put the glass down there were lips on mine. I stared at Kankuro in shock. When he pulled away he looked nervous.
"Sorry."
He said walking away. My fingertips brushed against my lips they still felt warm from he kissed me. I pushed through the crowds trying to find him I found him walking out of the place his head down.
"Kankuro! Kankuro!"
I shouted trying to get his attention. I ran outside bumping into something hard.
"Iori?"
I looked up seeing Kankuro staring down at me.
"Kankuro why'd you ran off like that?"
I asked standing back up.
"Cause I made a fool of myself."
He said. I took his hand leading him to a bench nearby.
"Kankuro your sister told me that you liked me when we were younger?"
His eyes widened.
"I-I-I-I…"
"I'm sorry Kankuro but I don't feel the same."
I said hating every second of it the hurt look he gave me nearly broke my heart. He looked down not meeting my gaze.
"Oh…"
I tilted his head up to lo look at me.
"Kankuro if this was last year I would've been really happy but… I like someone else now, and I wish I could return your feelings cause I hate seeing you this, and I…"
"Iori it's ok."
He whispered. He smiled at me.
"I waited to long I get that. I should've acted on my feelings like Temari said many time in the past…"
I wiped tears away cursing the alcohol for making me act this way. Kankuro chuckled before wiping a couple of tears away as well.
"If you don't mind me asking who do you like?"
I knew this question was coming so I wasn't nervous with telling him.
"Naruto."
I said with a small smile. He looked at me shock.
"Naruto? I thought you didn't get along?"
I laughed.
"Yeah that's what I kept telling myself but… he's been there for me a lot these past couple of day, and I kinda always had a thing… for him."
I said sheepishly. He nodded.
"Well good luck to you two, and I hope your both happy."
I could hear the hurt in his voice.
"Kanku…"
"I'm fine really Iori just need some time to get over it."
He said standing to leave. The one thing that went through my mind was 'is he still my friend?' I was afraid he wasn't anymore.
"Your still my friend right?"
I asked whispered not making up enough courage to ask him. I looked to ground hating myself for hurting a really good friend of mine when I felt a hand ruffle my hair.
"Of course."
Kankuro said with a small smile.
"Thank you."
I said smiling up at him. We said bye with him going home, and me going back to Naruto, and Gaara.
"Where were you?"
Naruto questioned.
"Walking Kankuro out."
"He left?"
Gaara asked.
"Yeah he wasn't feeling well."
I lied. He nodded.
"I-I-Iori would you dance with me?"
Naruto asked holding out a shaky hand. I stared at it then him. Biting my lip I nodded, and took his hand. The song was another slow song. Naruto pulled me close to him, rapping his arms around my waist. I rapped both my arms around his neck as we stepped forward, step back, right, left, and again. I could tell something was on his mind.
"What's wrong?"
He looked me in the eye.
"I li… never mind."
He said looking away from again. I put my hands in between his neck, and head making him look at me.
"What?"
I urged. He shook his head again.
"Never mind."
He said again but this time he stopped dancing, and left leaving me on the dance floor alone.
'What's wrong?'
I thought sadly. I walked out of the place not really wanting to have 'fun' anymore. I walked back home, and was welcome by Akamaru.
"Hey boy."
I said petting his head.
"Where the rest?"
Temari asked.
"Gaara, and… Naruto are still there."
I said feeling sad at the blonde's name. Temari picked this up.
"What happened?"
She asked.
"Nothing… nothing."
She took my hand dragging me to the couch.
"Spill."
She said. I sighed.
"Well first off I was drinking, which nothing good ever comes when you're drinking. Second Kankuro, and me were a little to friendly tonight…"
"Defy friendly?"
She asked.
"Well we were leaning against each other, and almost kissed me… but then Naruto kinda interrupted so it didn't happened."
I leaned back thinking about everything that happened after that.
"Wow he tried to kiss you. Never thought he actually try… what else happened?"
Temari asked.
"Well he asked me to dance, and pulled me out to the dance floor. A slow song came on, and he kissed me…"
I blushed at the thought of it.
"He… kissed… you…? No way!?"
She shouted jumping in her seat.
"Temari don't feel the same as him remember?"
I said refreshing her memory of earlier. She stopped jumping, and scratched the back of her head.
"Right… well you two seem ok he came back ok."
She said.
"Really?"
I asked.
"Yeah he wasn't pissed, or anything like that infact he seemed happy."
She said. That made me smile at lease Kankuro, and me were ok, at lease I didn't lose a friend.
"That's good."
I said. She smiled.
"So… who do you like?"
She asked wagging her brows at me. I blushed.
"Temari I can't tell you."
"Why not? I am your friend."
I sighed. What was I suppose to do? She is my friend I did just kinda broke her brother's heart, and she won't leave me alone till I do.
"Naruto."
I mumbled.
"Say what?"
She said staring at me with disbelief. I fiddled with my fingers.
"Naruto."
I said a bit louder. She squealed.
"Temari!"
I whined covering my ears her squealing really hurts my ears.
"Sorry."
She said softly. I covered my eyes groaning.
"I like Naruto, and I don't know what to do. Help?"
She giggled.
"Just tell him."
She said like it was the most simplest thing in the world. I scoffed.
"Yeah sure I'll do that when he quits ramen."
She laughed.
"Well you never know… I still think you should tell him I mean look at me, and Shikamaru. I didn't want to tell him cause I didn't to be rejected, and he thought it was to troublesome."
"That's Shika for you."
I said. She laughed.
"Still I was happy once I told him, and now look were together."
I had to agree with that but Naruto likes someone to, and it not me.
"Temari he likes someone else he even told me so."
I told her. She stared at me.
"Who? Tell me I'll kick her ass!"
Temari looked like she had fire in her eyes.
"Temari no unless your gonna beat up Sakura."
I said pulling her fist to her side.
"Sakura?"
She asked in disbelief. I nodded.
"Yeah… well he didn't say but how he described her it points to Sakura. He said he'd tell her how he feels after our mission is done."
I sighed sadly. She grimaced.
"That sucks but still I would tell him maybe it might change his mind, or at lease stall him."
I yawned.
"Don't worry Temari I'll be fine. Well I'm going to bed. Night."
I said walking up the stairs. I crawled into bed with Akamaru at the foot of it falling into a dreamless sleep.
