"I'm not jealous!" Sakura growled with a vein popping up from her forehead. She then sighed. "I'll have you know that I have someone vying for my attention."

"Really who?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Lee..." Sakura answered with a slight blush.

"BUSHY BROW!" Naruto exclaimed. Sakura nodded her head. "I suppose he is kind of cute..."

"If you shave his eyebrows some." I added. Everyone but Ten-Ten nodded their heads in agreement.

"I suppose...nea...Gaara?" Ino asked in a teasing tone.

"What?" I looked at her suspiously while raising an eyebrow.

"Neji's a looker too." Ino said slyly. My right eye twitched as I blush slightly.

"He's a perv!' Naruto aruged. "And so is that teme that's always with him!"

"Then why do you blush everytime I see you staring at Sasuke?" Ino asked with a raised eyebrow. I frowned slightly in thought. Naruto did blush around him alot...

"I DO NOT!" Naruto shouted out in disgust and slight anger. I sighed. Denial...it's not just a river in Egpty...


DAY OF THE PAR-TAY

"Gaara, sit still!" Ino scolded as she popped me on the head with her brush. I growled. "Oh, hush up! I'm almost done."

"Ow!" Naruto whined. "It hurts Sakura! My hair isn't suppose to be this tight."

"I'm almost done...there!" Naruto's hair was now in tight a bun with fringes on the side. Sakura decided that all of us should have our hair styled the same style...redundant...but so are the painful hair styles.

"This kind of hurts..." Ten-Ten commented as she pointed to her hair.

"Yeah, well beauty hurts." Ino told her. Hm...if beauty is this painful, how does ugly feel? "Besides, it'll loosen up soon."

"I hope so." Naruto whimpered. "As soon as I get a chance, I'm cutting this girlie hair!" Hm...not a bad idea...

"It'll be a shame to cut it." Ten-Ten told Naruto. "It's very beautiful."

"If you cut your hair, I'll cut mine." I told Naruto, who frowned in thought.

"I don't know if I want to cut my hair now...if you cut yours, your huge forehead would be visible." Naruto stated as he pointed at my forehead. My right eye twitched at him as I reached a hand up to feel my forehead. And that bastard had the NERVE to laugh! Did he really just go there!

"Ugh...you...well, everyone would see how big your eyes and ass really are." I pointed out. Naruto glared at me.

"My ass is not big!" He argued.

"You're right, its huge!" I told him, then ran behind Ten-Ten. Poor Ten-Ten...I feel sorry for using her as a shield, but I must live another day.

"Gaara! I am gonna choke you!" Naruto growled as he tried to get me. Ino and Sakura held him back.

"Come on guys!" Ino said as she struggled to hold Naruto back. "If you mess up your hair, I'll have to do it again."

Naruto stopped struggling and shivered in slight fright. I shivered also. Ino was scary when it came to hair.

"Now, apologize." Sakura said to me and Naruto.

"Sorry..." Naruto and I said as the same time. I glared at him and he glared at me. I knew that neither of us meant it. I'd have to watch my back. Naruto is going to try and get revenge on me. He's very sensitive about his ass.

"Alright, now that that's settle. Here are the lists of what each of us are assigned to do for Kiba (Shino's boyfriend) party." Ino said as she handed out the list. "I got decorations."

"That's it?" Naruto asked with a pout.

"That's the most troublesome part." Sakura pointed out to Naruto, then looked down at her list. "Let's see...I got cleaning and dusting the two small rooms. I then help Gaara in the kitchen. During the party, I'm suppose to make sure everyone is happy."

"I have clean the big room, get the water ready, and help Naruto do the chores." Ten-Ten read. "During the party, I keep the table stacked with food.

"I have to keep clean while doing chores and help Gaara start to cook the food. Then during the party, help Gaara and Ten-Ten put out the food while keeping clean" Naruto read with a pout. He looked at Ino. "I know how to keep clean..."

"I'm sure she didn't mean it, Kit." I told Naruto, who still pouted. "At least, you don't have to cook all day. And why the hell, am I the greeter again!"

"Cause you're adorable!" Everyone told me at the same time. I glared at them all with my death glare version number 2. They winced, which caused me to smirk and nod my head. That's right, whose yo' daddy!

"Alright...deep breathes...I can do this. Remember the smile, greet, bow, check for name." I whispered to myself as I stood outside the door to Garu. Everything was ready (finally). Ino decided to do a red and white theme with red roses and white carnations. She hung up red and white decorations. The bowls were white and the table clothes were red. There were two (new) tables to the side: one had food, one had drinks. All and all, Ino did her job well. We all were now wearing our new kimonos. Naruto and Ten-Ten were by the table to serve people. Sakura was in the kitchen making sure everything was in order. Ino was making sure the decorations were perfect (or so close to it that no one could tell the difference, but don't tell her I said that.).

"Is everything in order?" Shino asked as he walked up with a male holding a puppy. I bowed in greeting. The male holding the puppy bowed back.

"Forgive my boyfriend's manners." He said with a smile. "Akamaru and I thank you for having this at such short notice. It must have been hard. I mean, this place just opened."

"It was no problem, Inuzaka-san, Akamaru-kun." I said with a smile. The little puppy yipped. "Everything is prepared."

"Alright." Shino said as he pulled Kiba along side him past me. Kiba rolled his eyes.

"See yah inside." Kiba said. The puppy yipped again.

"Hello." A beautiful girl greeted me with a soft smile Behind her was a tall male. I flinched slightly when he looked/glared at me. "We're here for Kiba's party! I'm Haku and this is my bodyguard Zabuza."

I looked at the list and nodded my head.

"Everything is prepared. You may enter. I hope you enjoy the party, Haku-san, Zabuza-san." I said with a smile. I flinched when Zabuza's glare increased a little.

"That's not nice, Zabuza." Haku scolded as he walked past me. Zabuza follwed him while grumbling. I shivered. I wonder who else is attending...?

"Hey." Shikimaru greeted lazily as he walked up follwed by some people.

"Pineapple-san!" I greeted with a smile. Shikimaru glared at me while the people behind him chuckled.

"Troublesome..." He mumbled to himself, then said to me. "You can mark my name, Asuma, and Kurani off the list."

"Okay, have a good time Pineapple-san." I said with enjoyment as his eye twitch in agitation. Asuma and Kurani followed him while laughing.

"Well, well...hello there." A gray haired man greeted me with drool running down his chin. "I'm here for Kiba's party, but I'll leave for you with you."

"..." It was my turn for my eye to twitch. What kind of pick up line is that? I was about to say something when a female with HUMONGOUS BOOBS hit him really hard on his arm. He sulked.

She said something to me, but I didn't hear. Her eye twithced. How is she able to stand? Doesn't her back hurt? I'm gay, but WOW!

"I know they're big." She shouted, causing me and the other guy to jump. "Come on Jirarya!"

"But Tsunade-" Jirarya was cut off as she hit him and dragged him. I blinked, then remember to check the list. Hm...old pervert and big boobs...check!

"Good evening, Gaara!" Iruka greeted me. I smiled at him.

"Good evening, Ruka-kun." I greeted. Kakashi came out of no where and grabbed both my hands.

"Hello, there Gaa-chan. Don't you look delectable-ack!" Kakashi was punched by Iruka. Iruka grabbed Kakashi's hair and started dragging him into the party. Perv and Ruka, check!

"YOSHI! YOU FIXED UP THE PLACE! IT...IT LOOKS..." Lee yelled as he and Gai ran up.

"YOUTHFUL LEE!" Gai shouted as he posed. I blinked when the light bounced from his teeth into my eyes. The pain! The pain. I rubbed my eye. "LET US GO INSIDE AND ENJOY YOUTHFULNESS!"

Was that even a word? The two crazy, loud, and green landlords, check.

"Um...he...hello..." A girl with eyes like Neji greeted me. She bit her bottom lip.

"Gaa-chan." Neji-teme greeted. I glared at him.

"Neji-teme." Ha! Take that! I smirked a little as his eye twitched. The stuttering girl's eyes widen in surprise.

"Let's go inside Hinata-san. Gaa-chan must on his period." I gritted my teeth as they walked past me and into the party. Hinata and teme, check...

WHOA! THAT GUY LOOKS LIKE A REALLY HOT AND OLDER VERSION OF SASUKE! Is...that a walking bluish man with him? Is he getting enough oxygen? Oh...great...it Sas-duck butt.

"Good evening." Hotter Sasuke said. I blushed deeply. "My name is Itachi. Kisame and Sasuke are here for the party as well."

"You're hot-" I can't believe I said that outloud! Quick think! "ter than Neji and Sasuke..." Great, lame finish! At least, Sasuke is glaring at me.

"You're cute." Itachi said as he laughed and walked past me. "See you during the party."

"..." The blue guy shoot me a look of amusement, while Sasuke kept glaring as they walked into the shop.

"Itac-hot-i, check! Kisame, check! Asshole number two, check!"

"So, nice to see you pink panties." Sai greeted as he walked up to me-WAIT A SECOND!

"Did YOU just call me PINK PANTIES?" I asked with a growl. The guy that he was with raised an eyebrow.

"Yep!"

"And why did you?"

"Cause, I'm peeking at your panties." Sai said with a big smile as he pulled my kimino up. Thus, I knocked him shit-faced. I turned growling to the other guy, who was now nervous as he edged towards the door.

"Your name?" I gritted out as my right eye started to twitch.

"Uh...Yamamoto/?" He answered quickly as he picked up Sai and ran inside. Pervert and Yamamoto-san, check!

"Nice right hook." A tall, muscular, and handsome red-head told me as he walked by me. I blushed.

"The names Kyuubi." He told me with a wink and walked on in.

"Kyuubi..." I repeated. "Check..."

"Look at the cute greeter, Danna!" A pretty blond woman said as she walked up with a handsome red-head. "My name's Deidara, uh!"

"Gaara." I answered. He seemed really...hyper.

"This is my danna, Sasori/?" Deidara introduced. Sasori gave me a nod of his head as he pulled Deidara in. "See you, uh."

"Sasori and Deidara, check." Thank goodness...only a couple left...

REGULAR POV

"Hey, Lady. This is where Kiba's party is, isn't?" Gaara's eyes twitched at the snot-nosed brat asked rudely. He would have said something, but there was an old man next to him.

"Yes." Gaara answered, then asked. "Your name?"

The kid's eyes widen in shock while the old man chuckled at his face.

"The names Konohamaru." The kid said with a cocky grin. "That ring any bells."

"Only the ones telling me to tell you to go in or get out of my face." Gaara answered, then asked the old man. Konohamaru gaped at Gaara. The old man chuckled again.

"My name is-"

"Gramps, he doesn't know your name or who I am! That's against the law right?" Konohamaru exclaimed, causing the old man to drag him passed Gaara into the party.

"Let's go-"

"But Gramps-"

"You want some cake don't you?"

"Fine..."

"Old guy and Konohamaru, check!" Gaara marked them (at least, what he assumed to be the guys name next Konohamaru's name) off the list.

"Hi, we aren't late, are we?" A man with a bandage over his nose asked Gaara who shook his head. "Great! Come on Kotetsu!"

"Hold on Izumo!" Another man shouted as he ran in after the other guy. Gaara rolled his eyes and marked them off his list. Did Kiba know not know anybody, but good looking people? Sure, Gai and Lee were average in the face, but had nice bodies. Kiba had to have someone that didn't make Gaara feel plain.

Gaara was brought out of his thoughts by someone dropping something. He looked up and saw a blond-haired young woman (who dropped a wrapped packaged), a young male with brown hair, and an old guy with an eye patch. The young man and woman were gawking at him while the old guy's eyes were narrowed at him. Gaara raised an eyebrow.

"Can I help you?" Gaara asked, causing the two young people to shake out of their stupor.

"Sorry about that." The young woman said with a sheepish grin. "It's just that, you look a lot like...anyway..."

"We're here for the party." The young man said. Gaara nodded his head.

"What are your names?" Gaara asked as he looked down at the list.

"My name is Temari." Temari said, she then gestured to the other two. "The brunette is Kankuro and the old...er guy is Baki."

GAARA'S POV

"Alright, please enjoy the party." I told them and flashed them a quick fake smile. They went in slowly still staring at me. Creepy... Really creepy. Have I seen them before...? Before I had time to digist them, two wild yet beautiful woman walked up. They look familiar...like Kiba! That's it! They looked like Kiba! They even had the mark on their face too.

I bowed at them as they walked up.

"Good evening, Inuzuka-sans." I greeted earning a snort.

"Just Tsume." The older of the two told me. "You don't know me and I'd perfer to earn the title of -san."

"Hai." I answered. "Kiba just inside."

"Thank you." The younger one said. I nodded my head as they walked passed me. I then grinned. Those were the last two on the list. Yes! Finally, I don't have to stand out here looking like a corner whore.

_

All the food is done! I patted myself on the back. I then picked up the giant birthday cake and started towards the main table. The cake was a vanilla cake with strawberry icing. I checked with the others to make sure it was okay for the dog to eat too. Man, when did this cake get so heavy! THERE! I made it to the main table and placed it on there.

"Thanks, Gaara-kun." Kiba said with huge smile.
