Author's Note: I own nothing except Reyna; even Kayha and Katara are creations of a friend. Everything you recognize is property of Masashi Kishimoto. Characters may continue to be slightly OOC but we add a bit of humor here….

I also have to give credit to my friend, her alter ego is Kayha just like mine is Reyna, for the great ideas and the fun caffeine driven writing!

BOOKS, KUNAI, PILLOWS AND FLYING FURNITURE

The next morning, which for Kayha meant only a couple of hours of sleep, forced her back into the waking world to the sound of Temari yelling downstairs at people to hurry up and get everything ready. Kayha attempted to roll over and go back to sleep, but it appeared that Temari wasn't about to let her do that as the eldest Sand Sibling threw open Kayha's door and stormed into the room.

"Let's go, Kayha, we have lots to do!" Temari called.

"Just five more minutes?" Kayha pleaded.

"No! Now is not the time for sleeping, now is the time for getting crap ready! So get off your lazy ass already!" Temari hollered at her even as she yanked the blanket off of Kayha.

"Damn it, Temari! You are such a pain in my ass," Kayha growled.

"Damn straight, someone has to keep you in line if you're going to date the Kazekage! Now get up and get dressed!"

"What? Are you going to stand there and watch me get dressed now too?" Kayha snapped.

"If I have to; I can't waste time thinking you might go back to bed. Now move!"

"Don't worry about 'cause I know I'm going back to bed," Kayha muttered under her breath but Temari didn't hear the comment.

The sound of a loud crash followed by copious amounts of swearing drew Temari's attention, "Crap. Kayha, get dressed and I'll be back to make sure that you are!"

Temari bolted out the door and back downstairs to see what could have possibly happened leaving Kayha alone. The last thing Kayha wanted to do was get up and go to work, but she knew that she should help with the set-up of Gaara's party and so she pushed herself up and headed downstairs, still wearing her fuzzy pants and a tank top.

"Good morning, Kayha!" Naruto called cheerfully to her as she entered the kitchen.

"What's good about it?" she snarled in reply. "Where the hell is the coffee in this place?"

Naruto kept quiet at that having been on a team long enough with Reyna to know that if Kayha was anything like his teammate without caffeine it wouldn't matter what he said, he'd lose his head.

"I think Reyna-Sensei has some chai hiding somewhere, but I don't know where it is. She's really protective of that stuff, but it always seems to put her in a better mood after a night of very little sleep," Sakura supplied.

"Damn it. Kankuro!" Kayha hollered and Kankuro appeared in the doorway.

"Yeah, Kayha, what did you need?" he asked.

"Coffee."

"I guess I can run out and pick some up. Anyone else want one?" he asked and there was a resounding call of yes to his question before he headed into the village in search of coffee for everyone.

"Kayha why aren't you dressed yet?" Temari glared.

"I am dressed. This is what I'm wearing so deal with it."

Temari sighed and shook her head, "Fine, whatever."

Kankuro returned in short order with coffee for all and after drinking hers Kayha was feeling a bit more like herself as Temari put her to work decorating the house. Reyna, who had once again made breakfast for everyone, was cleaning up after everyone and starting on the supper. Every time Temari would appear in the kitchen to try to help her, Reyna would chase her out, much to the amusement of Kakashi who was sitting at the table and reading. Occasionally he would glance up just to make sure that Reyna was still working and that she didn't need an extra set of hands for anything. Kankuro and Katara were helping and supervising Kayha and since Naruto seemed to be making more of a mess than he was helping with anything, Temari kicked him out of the house. No one really knew what Sakura was doing.

Kayha was just finishing up when there was a knock at the door and Temari answered it wondering who in the world it would be. She pulled the door open to reveal a delivery man standing on there surrounded by cases of sake.

"Ma'am, could you please sign here?" he asked as another delivery person starting rolling in the cases of sake.

Temari had to look twice at the invoice, "I didn't order this, who ordered this?" Then it dawned on her, "Kayha!"

Kayha appeared beside Temari and grinned, "Awesome, right on time too. Temari sign the paper for the nice man."

Temari glared at Kayha but signed the invoice as the last of the cases was set inside the house and Kayha grabbed a bottle, "Kayha! What were you thinking? I said no sake!"

Kayha shrugged, "What's a party without sake?" she asked before calling the rest of the group to get a drink.

Reyna was still in the kitchen when Kayha called everyone to grab a drink, singing under her breath and drinking chai. Even Kakashi couldn't tell how she was keeping her cup full and he went and grabbed two drinks; one for himself and one for Reyna. There was no way he was going to remain sober this time after what had happened at the last party. The less he remembered, the happier he'd be. While the party got started, Temari sighed, realizing that they had started without their guest of honour and decided she should probably go and get him.

As she headed through the streets towards the offices, Temari ran into Matsuri and made a quick decision to invite the girl as well. After all, she had been the only person willing to let Gaara teach her, it was only fair. The girl bounded off towards the house, smiling happily at having been invited and Temari shook her head wondering just how Kayha was going to take to having her there. Shrugging it off, Temari continued on her way. Just before the she reached the building housing Gaara's office, she met Naruto who was just leaving.

"Naruto, you didn't tell him, did you?" Temari asked.

"Nope, I was just hanging out watching Gaara work since I wasn't allowed in the house," Naruto pouted.

"Well, hey, head back there now. I'm just going to get Gaara and we'll be there too."

"You have a plan on how to get him there without him knowing?"

"Of course," she replied before Naruto headed back for the house and she took a deep breath wondering just how well she could act and hoping it was better than her ability to cook.

Temari bolted through the building, as if in a panic and burst into Gaara's office, panting and wild eyed. Gaara's head shot up instantly and he reguarded his sister's panicked expression in silence as Temari launched to his side and grabbed his arm.

"Gaara, you have to come home immediately! We have a huge problem!" Temari informed him.

"What is it, Temari? I'm sure you can handle it," Gaara responded, attempting to pull his arm free.

She shook her head, "It's Reyna and Kakashi!"

Gaara raised a brow at her, "And?"

"There are books, kunai, pillows and flying furniture!"
