I don't own Naruto!
Chapter 11
Group four…..
Cody still had a smirk on his face while walking with his group hearing the giggles from the girls about how happy Sakura was just by pulling Gaara's hand. The boys also found it amusing too, and they were also amused when Sakura was calling him Panda-chan, although they were wondering how they know each other, why he lets her pull him, and why she calls him that.
"Troublesome giggling women…" Shikamaru said, while thinking. 'Troublesome girls…. They probably know why Gaara let Sakura pull him and call him Panda-chan and why Cody is called Puppy-chan … and they probably know how they know boys and know who is Ino's step-brother, Kat's brother.. I would ask but it's too troublesome….'
"Did you just insult the girls Namakemono?" Cody asked while semi-glaring at him. (A/N It means Lazy ass)
"No…. I was just mumbling something."
"Which was?"
"Nothing about the girls….."
"Then-"Cody was interrupted by Suzume, since they were at their first stop, Barnes and Noble. "When we are in Barnes and Noble we will split into pairs of five, two people in each pair. One boy, one girl no buts. First pair is Kat and Shikamaru, pair two will be Martyna and Asuma, third pair is Siama and Ibiki, fourth pair is Ayame and Cody, and last but not least Yashamaru and me. What should each pair get Martyna and Siama?" She asked.
"Well… Pair one should get Stationary and a scrap book for everyone. Pair two should get one drama and general book for everyone." Siama said.
"Then pair three should get one angst, crime, and mystery and suspense book for everyone. And pair four should get one western and tragedy book for everyone. Then that leaves pair five to get one non-fiction, science fiction, thriller and horror book for everyone."
Pair five- Yashamaru and Suzume
While they were getting the items both of them seem to be having a pleasant conversation.
"So do you like it here so far?" Suzume asked. "I will pick books out for the girls and you can for the boys since you know them better and all."
"Yes. Good idea. How long have you been here?" Yashamaru asked in return.
"Awhile."
"What is the deal with Gaara and Sakura? How do all of you know some of us?"
"If they didn't tell you then neither shall I. I rather not get hurt from Gaara's, Cody's and Lenny's fighting skills. Well Kakashi is Kurenai's fiancé. And the others rather not die, so I am not gonna tell you. You have to earn that right. But no matter what you will learn eventually."
"Okay then how do I earn that right?" He said with a smirk looking directly in her eyes.
"Um…. I-I don't know." She replied stuttering because Yashamaru looked kind of hot to her and she was trying to keep herself from blushing. She smiled sweetly at him as an apology.
"Alright. If you can hint sometime that could be cool. Everyone seems to be protected but the one who has the most protection is Sakura. Would you tell me that to when I earn the right?" he said while thinking, 'she looks beautiful when she smiles like that.'
"Sure. You are very polite like Sakura, did you know that?"
"No I didn't, is that good or bad?"
"Good. Definitely good."
And they finished gathering the books and went to the entrance to wait for everyone else.
While they were getting their items pair four was…..
Pair four- Cody and Ayame
"It has been awhile since we got paired up like this, hasn't it, Cody-kun? And should we do the usual plan?" Ayame said trying to create a conversation. And of course Cody took the bait and answered her question. Ayame is the only one he allows to call him that because he likes her as well as likes it when she calls him that, if someone else calls him that they get thrown through a wall. He only allows his sister to call him Puppy-chan, because it makes her happy, if someone tried to even call him that they would get thrown through a stone brick building, beside Naruto and Kiba when they were making fun of him, his idea was let them make fun of it once and if they call him that then send them through a wall.
"Yeah it has. And yes the plan works just fine, why change it. Have you been doing alright in your classes, Aya-chan?" Cody said slightly looking at her. She allows him only to call her that.
"I am doing alright but I am having trouble in history. Your sister seems happy that you all are back, as well as meeting and having Sasuke around, I am surprised he hasn't been beaten up yet by you guys."
"He is not going to be beaten up unless he hurts her. He said, 'Why would I hurt the first girl I fall for? I like to be around her. Anyway, why is me maybe liking her a big deal for you?' So we agreed that he would be beaten up if and only if he hurt her or let her be hurt, but the way he is acting he would do neither of those actions/options. And he looks like he doesn't just like her, he looks like he loves her but doesn't release this yet. And once he says he's going to do something he never breaks his word. And I know he doesn't just like her because of her looks because he wasn't really into the liking a girl thing because most of the girls he's met were fangirls."
"So I am guessing that all of you will be keeping a very close eye on him? And I am also guessing that you guys didn't answer his last question?"
"Yes to both questions, Aya-chan"
"Typical of you guys to not answer a question like that, and keep a very close eye on him for safety." She said while smiling. "Why was Naruto yelling 'Who is Panda-chan, Ardillo-chan, and Puppy-chan? Why do Gaara, Kankuro, and Cody get to stay?' Do your friends not know that you guys are her brothers?"
"Naruto was yelling because he is a dope who doesn't know that we can actually hear him when he talks quieter. He is always loud, and he might break someone's ear one day with his loud mouth. No one besides Kaka-teme, Kuro-baka, and Konohamaru-nkicki know that we are siblings they don't have to know at least not yet."
"Again this is typical that you guys want to protect her, but you also said that everyone, meaning the guys, is a good fighter, and knows a lot about magic, so why not let them help?"
"Because I don't know if some of them will take advantage of her weakness, and try to do the same thing as that Kuso yarō dippusutikku haisha no jāku did to her all those years ago. Even if they like a girl in the house, they might think the girl doesn't like them and try to fulfill their desires on her. Like they use her weakness and pretend that they are doing it to the girl they like. I don't want that happening to her again and I most certainly don't want it to happen to you Aya-chan." (A/N- the really long word starting with kuso means fucking bastard dipstick loser jerk, also said in previous chapter)
"I know, sorry Cody-kun." She smiles sadly because she knew she was playing with lightening on that question.
"It's alright but please don't bring it up again Aya-chan." Then he steps right in front of her and turns around to face her, and in one swift movement he captures her lips in a lip lock. She leans in into him and he places his arms around her waist and she places her arms around his neck. They release the kiss and he gets back into place, he having a small blush on his face, and a smile on his face and her having her blush visible and a shy smile, they meet up with Yashamaru and Suzume at the front door.
While pair five and four was getting their items pair three was…..
Pair three- Saima and Ibiki
Saima and Ibiki were walking to the part of the store where they would get the items that they were told to get.
"How long ago did you move here?" Ibiki asked. Usually he didn't care for conversation but he wanted answers about the nicknames and how they know what he doesn't.
"Why are you asking a question that you don't care whether I answer or not?" Saima questioned back. "I will pick books out for the girls and you can for the boys since you know them better and all."
"Hn. The idea for picking books is fine by me. Just trying to get a conversation started."
"Liar." She smirked at him, "You aren't someone that would start up a conversation. You are the one that would scare someone into silence. And a guy that actually shuts up and takes a command, nice to know for the future."
"Why don't you just tell me what I want to know? Then I won't question and everyone wins. And I won't always take commands; I would rather be in command." He glared at her. But then he smirked and looked her up and down. She glared but then smirked.
"Not going to happen. I don't let anyone win but me. How would I win, by telling you the answer?"
"You would win since there would be silence, which I also noticed is what you like as well."
"Still not happening. Whether I like silence isn't going to get me to answer your question. You have to earn your right to get the answer to your questions." She was still smirking, "Why would you agree to what Kakashi planned? You are old enough to not have to follow what he says."
"Why do you care?" He smirked at her.
"Just wondering."
"Curiosity was the reason. Just like I'm curious about the nicknames, and how the girls know the boys. And the siblings that we supposedly know."
"Still not answering that." The interrogation continued all through getting the items.
"How are we going to carry all of this?"
"Aww. I thought you were supposed to be a big tough guy, can't handle a couple bags?" She smirked.
"I can. But I prefer to handle something worth handling."
"Like what?" He flicks his eyes up and down her body and they linger longer on her breasts and her bum and he smirks once she blushes and glares at him. "Perv." She mumbles.
"You asked." He smirks.
"One of the students has a family driver that lives around here; he takes the time to pick things up when we shop."
They were acting like they knew each other for a long time. This made them seem like a couple sort of. Both options went through their thoughts when they had a pleasant pause or silence.
'We kind of look like old friends or even more than friends… I think I would kind of like that.' Saima thought. 'He is sort of hot…. He looks like he would be mysterious and he is handsome.'
'We kind of look like old friends or even more than friends… I think I would kind of like that.' Ibiki thought. 'She is hot…. She looks like she would be mysterious and she seems fun and not some boring person.'
When they finished getting all of their items they head back for the entrance and meet up with Yashamaru, Suzume, Cody, and Ayame at the front door.
While pair five, four, and three was getting their items pair two was…..
Pair two-Martyna and Asuma
While they were getting the items both of them seem to be having a pleasant conversation.
"So do you like it here so far?" Martyna asked. "I will pick books out for the girls and you can for the guys since you know them better and all."
"Yes. That is probably for the best. How long have you been here? " Asuma asked in return.
"Awhile."
"What is the deal with Gaara and Sakura? How do all of you know some of us?"
"If they didn't tell you then neither shall I. I rather not get hurt from Gaara's, Cody's and Lenny's fighting skills. Well Kakashi is Kurenai's fiancé. And the others rather not die, so I am not gonna tell you. You have to earn that right. But no matter what you will learn eventually."
"Okay then how do I earn that right?" He said with a smirk looking directly in her eyes.
"Um…. I-I don't know." She replied stuttering because Asuma looked hot to her and she was trying to keep herself from blushing. She smiled sweetly at him as an apology.
"Alright. If you can hint sometime that could be cool. Everyone seems to be protected but the one who has the most protection is Sakura. Would you tell me that to when I earn the right?" he said while thinking, 'she looks beautiful when she smiles like that.'
"Sure. You do know that there is no smoking in the house right?"
"No I didn't, if I go somewhere outside is that okay?"
"Kind of. If it isn't near any plants and nowhere near any outside sparing rings."
And they finished gathering the books and went to the entrance to wait with Yashamaru, Suzume, Cody, Ayame, Ibiki, and Saima at the front door.
While they were getting their items pair one was…..
Pair one- Katie and Shikamaru
While they were getting the items both of them seem to be having a pleasant conversation.
"So do you like it here so far?" Katie asked. "I probably should pick the girls books out because if they found out you did some might try to kill you no matter how good the books are and you can for the boys since you know them better and all."
"Troublesome. Yes. It would be too troublesome to run from the girls, and it would be a drag to be chased by them. What do you like to do? " Shikamaru asked in return. With a lazy smirk on his face because she kept trying to get glimpses without him know but he still knew. He usually doesn't like girls staring or fawning over him but he liked that she did. He also knew she sort of liked him, and he liked her back too.
"Well when the sun is out, I like to go outside and read a book or write stories. When one of the younger girls or Sakura falls asleep at the park or somewhere outside like the garden, they usually tend to fall asleep on my lap, and I enjoy reading while they sleep like that." She blushed a little from his lazy smirk.
"Do you like cloud gazing? And would you let a boy's head lay on your lap too?" His smirk got even bigger when she blushed.
"Yes to both questions but I would have to know the boy or like him as a friend or more. I haven't found a boy that I would let them us my lap. For reasons, you will see when we get to school."
He smirked looking directly in her eyes. And she thought deeper into the question and then her answer and her blush deepened. His smirk widened and she knew he was semi-playing with her because Kakashi said he would be too lazy to flirt with a girl for fun unless he liked her. He asked "Do you like me?"
"Um…. I-I d-d-d-don't know." She replied stuttering because Shikamaru looked hot to her, who had a huge smirk on his face because she was blushing and stuttering. He didn't know if he liked her answer but he definitely liked how she said it, because she stuttered he knew she might like him and she was caught off guard. She took a couple deep breathes to calm herself and then smiled sweetly at him as an apology and said , "I would have to get to know you better."
"Alright. What would you do if I told you I think I like you?" he said while thinking, 'she looks beautiful when she smiles like that.'
"Um…. I-I-I would say.. Um… that I-I-I l-l-l-like y-y-you too, but I still have to get to know you better." She final stopped stuttering after finishing half the sentence she really wasn't expecting this.
"Alright. When it's a sunny day, can I lie on your lap and watch the clouds?"
"Sure, if I can ask you questions to get to know you better." Because really she did want to get to know him and she wanted him to be her first boyfriend even though she won't admit it yet.
"Troublesome. But that would be great; can I ask some in return?"
"I don't know." She didn't want him to know she liked him or that she wanted him to be more than just a friend to her.
"Troublesome girl."
"I am not troublesome!" She got angry with him and he smirked again, which kind of settled her anger and made her angrier at the same time. "And stop smirking." He continued to smirk and then… "Fine. You can ask me questions too."
And they finished gathering the books and went to the entrance to wait with Yashamaru, Suzume, Cody, Ayame, Ibiki, Saima, Asuma and Martyna at the front door. They watched as a blue car pulled up and the girls through the bags into it.
All the boys besides' Cody and Ibiki thought 'Wondered how we were going to carry the stuff. Guess that answers our question.'
