A/N: I believe I have a large plot development working it way. Enjoy.


The sunlight and her eyes just wasn't going to work, one of them was going to have to move, unfortunately it was her eyes that lost the battle. She shot her hands to cover both of her scorched pupils. It was always like this after she drank, early awakening, eyes burning, and a sleeping Naruto beside her... Wait a sleeping Naruto, just how drunk had she gotten.

The more she stared at the blondes calm an relaxed sleeping form, the higher her own presumptions of their intimacy rose. Maybe she shouldn't have drunk, she knew her tendencies while intoxicated; flushed cheeks, slurred words, an her biggest problem sex crave.

Man her biggest problem may have just sunk her biggest dream on her wedding day; to make love for the first time with the man she married. Well it seems that dream was most likely taken from her. With a large rumbustious sigh she collapsed onto her back.

He was seemingly in heaven, any dream where he had an endless supply of multiple flavors of ramen was always the greatest. Man he really enjoyed these dreams, they were his biggest bliss outside well whatever came second. He was just about to begin his next bowl when something shook his real body forcing him from his dream world.

He blinked his eyes reveling an out of focus ceiling, his bedroom ceiling He slowly sat up rubbing the remaining sleep from his eyes. He pivoted his vision before making a mental note of what was in his room.; ramen poster, stuffed frog, an a rolled over Tenten... A ROLLED OVER Tenten!

How in hell had he forgotten about how he was almost forced to have sex, with her. He slapped his forehead in ignorance. Man he was going to be a running kunai target if she found out he was sleeping in the same bed as her; he had t get out before she realized he was there. With that he began to make his attempt at getting out.

"Naruto." came a whispered voice.

Well there went his avoid her wrath plan. At least he could try to explain the whole situation of last night to her and hopefully on get stabbed once or twice. He positioned himself to where he was facing her half hidden drowsy form.

"Tenten, I'm sorry for last night." he tried to but empathy into his voice.

Well that just confirmed her biggest fear they must have had intercourse. Well she should at least know if it was any enjoyment, or just flat out terrible.

"Um.. was last night any fun?" god she sounded like a little scared school girl awaiting punishment.

"Well not really." he responded with a slight shrug.

His words were just down right infuriating. How could he just take her an then look like he didn't get any enjoyment out of it? What kind of man could just look at someone like that. Oh she was now pissed.

"How in the hell can you just take a girls innocence and not get any enjoyment from it!?" she scolded.

Now he was confused, just how was almost being forced to have sex supposed to be fun? He just would never understand women at all, especially kunoichi's.

"Well you almost raped me, was that supposed to be fun? If it was it most definitely not." he gave in a calm reply.

What? She attempted to rape him? Trying to force herself on him, well that most definitely wouldn't have caused him any pleasure. Damn, that alcohol an its sex causing desires.

"I tried to... rape you.?" she shyly replied.

"Yeah, luckily I held you off long enough to where you finally passed out; then you wouldn't let me go."

Well that was a relief her wedding dream was stil intact. Now her only shame was thinking that someone as honest like Naruto would take advantage of her drunken stupor How could she have thought he would have done that? All the boy had done his whole life was take down every threat that came towards him, and make everyone's opinions on him change throughout it all.

"I-I'm sorry.. I thought .. that-" she started.

"It's fine now, I promise." he interrupted.

Well at least she didn't have to worry about him hating or avoiding her because of her drunken actions. That was just the way he was, always forgiving people regardless of what it was they done.

"Thanks, Naruto." she stammered out.

Crisis avoided thank kami she could be reasoned with. She was a complete polar opposite of the girl he had chased since he had been young. It was something he found calming an relaxing something he could get used to.

"Well lets eat an get to work, I have some boring diplomatic mission with Sir lazy ass today."

Breakfast was a great idea, especially when you had a day filled with work ahead; of course she had the day off, but he on the other hand didn't. Being next in line for Hokage must be a drag, especially when going on a diplomatic mission with Shikamaru.


God this room was boring, it was filled with nothing but old people and one young blonde priestess who kept staring at him. Sure it was the first time in little over a year he had seen Shion, but her staring kept driving him crazy.

"Naruto, pay attention." Shikamaru whispered to him.

Well now it was back to listening to the old geezers complain amongst themselves about how the trade agreement should be set up. It was sad that he an his partner where the ones who had came to haggle, and the only ones doing were the opposite side amongst themselves.

"And that is why we should have him personally guard our most highly valuable shipments, right Naruto-sama?"
He shot his vision to the old man making some type of deal. He hated diplomatic missions more than he hated Orochimaru.

"Yeah, I guess." he said in compliance.

He had no idea idea that he had just basically agreed to having himself guard a lot of shipments. Shikamaru just about slapped his forehead, any other time he would have seeing how they were in a diplomatic negotation he held it back.

"See he even agrees." the idea suggester boasted.

"Why were at it why don't we just have him guard the priestess's sleeping quarters too." another man replied in full sarcasm.

"I wouldn't mind." Shion blurted.

Well now the once loud negotiation room was in complete silence, staring at her. Well it wasn't like she had attempted to hide her affection for the young boy at all. Every man at the table knew it except the one she adored.

"My lady we can't keep him away from his village to do a task easily done with our personal court guards." a man let out.

"I was just giving my opinion, after all this is a negotiation, right Naruto.?"

Well now he was just more flabbergasted than before. She was right it was a negotiation, but it was on trade goods nothing more.

"Well it is a negation " he started having all the men's stares gather onto him. "But its' for trading route to be established " Shikamaru sighed when ever the blonde applied him self he could actually think.

"If you wish to have shinobi protection, you will have to call for another confrence to discussion, I'm sure Kohona would be more than generous to supply a protection corps here."

Damn when the hell had he gotten smart, Shikamaru was ecstatic with the blonde before him. He definitely could talk his way out of a lot of things.

"Note taken Naruto-sama, now we suggest the simplest way of-" Naruto rezoned out at this moment. If they wanted to discuss the trading agreement Shikamaru was more than capable of getting the job done.


How long had he been in that room he didn't know, but he was glad that his lazy partner was able to finally have them reach an agreement. Even though Shion had made a statement about calling for another conference to acquire a personal shinobi guard.

Now that sat at some restaurant awaiting their food. Shikamaru was staring at the clouds like always, it was something that relaxed him.

"Thanks for getting us out of that boring ass room, Shikamaru."

"No need to thanks we really didn't negotiate much, they did a lot of it themselves." he said not even taking his eyes off the clouds.

"Excuse me sir, the priestess asks for your presence at her personal residence." a messenger gave in respectful merit.

Damn he hadn't even got to eat yet, an now Shion wanted to see him. Well he could always ask her to have someone cool them something.

He got up laying some bills down to pay for his half of the order.

"I'll see you later at the inn, Shikamaru."

Yeah, just come back whole." he gave in reply.

His under message just went over the blondes head, but the redness of his messenger gave him a weird feeling. He just put that to the back of his mind an decided to see what Shion wanted.

"Lead the way." he gestured to the man.

"Hai.!"

After countless twists an turns they finally arrived at their destination The man stopped outside the main gates an gestured for him to continue forward, and so he did. He was now letting himself in. He quickly recognized the room he was in it was the room he had fought of the four ninja assigned to assassinate the priestess.

"It's been a long time since I have been in here." he let out looking around.

"Indeed it has." a calm voice came from behind him.

How in the world had she snuck up on him, he was a trained ninja he shouldn't be easily snuck up on especially by Shion. He just inwardly sighed, swallowing the the defeat of being surprised.

"So what is it you wished to discuss? If its for some shinobi, you'll have to talk to Tsunade about it."

She smiled he was just as foolish as he was when they had met, something she oddly liked about him. She at first hated his arrogance an stupidity, but after being saved multiple times she learned he had more than enough will power and strength to back his arrogance up.

"That's why I asked you to come here, I want you to give this to Tsunade-sama for me."

"Yeah sure, I'll make sure she gets it." with that he took the small messenger scroll she wished for him to deliver.

"Make sure you come back to visit soon."

He nodded an just turned to leave he wanted to get back to his village, his friends, and more importantly his bed. Man he would need a good sleep after he was done with the mission debriefing. With that said he walked to the villages front gates to find his pineapple haired friend awaiting his arrival.

Neither spoke they just nodded in a silent confirmation they would make a complete non stop trip back home to Kohona. They took off through the woods jumping from branch to branch hoping to arrive at least by noon the next day. Yeah they had a long journey ahead of them.
