Chapter 2
The three Konoha shinobi followed closely behind Temari who led the way quietly. Naruto and Hinata engaged in flirtatious chit chat while Sakura looked up at the clouds.
The three had changed up their usual shinobi gear for the blistering heat of their destination. Unlike usual Hinata's jacket was much thinner and a light cream like in her younger years, unzipped completely over a small dark navy tank top worn above some short navy shorts. Naruto unfortunately remained in his bright orange jumpsuit only unzipping his jacket over a plain white shirt and switching his longer pants for some knee length orange shorts.
Sakura however had changed for the sexier. She had decided the best person to consult about showing skin would be Ino. She had done so and was now wearing a very short,white lined, cropped red shirt above bandaged breasts. Her tummy was exposed, and hung low on her waist a white band that held together two mid thigh red panels, with the Haruno symbol on each one, covering her back and front, but revealing her thighs. Underneath she had a very small pair of navy, spandex shorts.
What Hinata had told her weighed on her mind rather heavily. She supposed this mission was rather conveniently scheduled as getting Tsunade to send her to Suna otherwise would have been relatively difficult. Despite her desperation to get into his pants, she was certain to not let her ulterior motives get in the way of their assignments.
She had to make sure she didn't get in the way of the exams. It was best to attack after the exams were complete. They were staying a few weeks after the exams finished to ensure no havoc came to rise.
That was plenty of time to find some way to seduce him. She'd even consulted Ino, who gladly told her everything she'd ever done to seduce a man.
From alcohol to simple strategically placed bare skin teasing, Ino had done it all. Sakura sighed, she wasn't quite as voluptuous as Ino was, but neither of them could compare to Hinata. She'd no clue what that beauty had seen in Naruto.
She sighed continuing to ponder the ways to reach Gaara's heart, or rather, his pants. She blushed at the thought. She wondered how Temari and Kankuro were doing now that Gaara had become so desirable.
Had anyone even taught Gaara what sex was? Was he still a virgin? She swallowed hard, the image of Gaara, lusty and confused beneath her while she taught him everything he needed to know. She stopped suddenly leaning against a nearby tree in shame.
The others stopped after noticing her disappearance, turning to uncover the reason for her break.
"S-Sakura-chan?" Hinata mumbled out. Sakura waved in their direction keeping her bright red face hidden.
"I-I'm fine. Just…a little tired…maybe…I didn't sleep very well." She offered finally forcing the blush down. Rubbing at the back of her head sheepishly, she finally turned back towards them and continued walking.
Temari snuck up beside her.
"I see you've got yourself a new look. Going fishing?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows at her. Sakura backed away pushing her hands out in hopes to hide her blush.
"What the hell it's four million degrees out in your home town Temari! How could I not dress lighter?" She yelled back defensively.
Temari laughed out and Sakura glared at the older woman deciding some pay back was in order.
"Besides, you're the one who needs to just go out with Shikamaru already! All those 'diplomatic visits' you schedule just to see him!" Sakura said back crossing her arms victoriously. Temari blushed and her neck snapped towards her.
"How many times do I have to tell you kids it isn't like that!?" Temari yelled back her blush getting darker when Naruto jumped in.
"I knew you guys were dating! Shudda told us!" Naruto called out excitedly.
Temari smacked him across the head her blush vanishing.
"You're the one with something to tell! Look at Hinata over there glowing with happiness!" She yelled out pointing at Hinata who blushed darker than either of the other two women.
"Eh?! I-I-I!" She stammered out mumbling to herself in embarrasement.
"You shouldn't even be leaving her side at all to make up for all the years I hear you ignored her!" Temari continued. Naruto scrambled away grabbing Hinata's hand.
"We have plenty of time to make up for it ne Hinata?" He called hugging the girl tightly to his side. The two other girls slapped their foreheads quickly knowing where it would go from there.
The four continued on, their chatter dying down and Hinata unconscious on Naruto's back. It was just too much happiness for the little one to take all at once.
Sakura chuckled at the thought.
Temari looked over at her.
"So how's the whole Sasuke business been going?" Temari asked quietly. Since visiting Konoha more frequently she'd unintentional become a part of the little family they had, gladly accepted with the loss of so many important people in the war. It was no surprise Sakura's crush on Sasuke had left the village grape vines.
"Eh? I have no idea. I haven't spoken to him really since we returned to the village. He always seems caught up in who knows what inside that creepy little estate of his." Temari raised an eyebrow at Sakura's unconcerned voice.
"Are you in love with someone else now?" She asked quickly. Sakura stopped short Naruto continuing on in oblivion and Temari stopping to look back at her.
Her face was a darker red than any of the three girls that day, her eyes trembling in embarrassment.
"N-No! I'm not in love with him!" She yelled out after realizing she had stopped so suddenly.
"It's just the stupid dreams!" She finished defensively. Realizing how deep she'd just dug herself her eyes snapped over to Temari in hopes she hadnt realized what she'd said. A grin so malicious even her younger brother couldn't compare was etched on Temari's face.
"Dreams you say? Dreams of what might I ask?" Temari asked walking after Sakura who had started walking quicker as if to escape her.
"Just normal dreams!" Sakura lied. Flashbacks passed through her line of sight, not exactly helpful at the moment.
"Normal how? When the thought of a man makes you blush that deep, there is no way dreams of him could be 'normal' Sakura-chan." Temari responded, grin turning Cheshire. Sakura said nothing and Temari continued to stare at her knowing smile still in place.
'Fuck. What did I just do? She'd kill me if I said his name now!'
'Who cares, he's hot! What is can she do about it if our sexy Kage decides to have his cherry popped?' Her inner coed. Sakura forced back a blush, finding Temari right in front of her now walking backwards.
"Damn! You scared me. When did you get in front of me?" Sakura asked turning away. Temari did not move once.
"Oh you know, when you were day dreaming about your steamy crush." Temari replied turning around to walk properly. Sakura nearly shoved a kunai threw her head. Temari wasn't going to let this go. But she felt it could be a bad idea letting Temari know. Temari was rather protective of her baby brothers for some reason. Kankuro was no help now, but she strove to keep the baby of the family innocent. Plus he was kind of their village's pillar of hope now, who knew what could happen if they got him addicted to sex.
She sighed. It was going to be a long stay. They reached the start of the vast desert Temari and Gaara called home and Temari pulled her giant fan out.
Hinata stirred while Temari began to speak.
"We can take my fan from here." She offered lying the fan on the ground for the four to board. Hinata lifted her head from Naruto's chest looking up to see his grinning face greet her, and knocked back out. Naruto stared at her in disappointed confusion boarding the fan and sitting with the young woman in his lap. Temari stood on top of the fan commanding it to lift and sail smoothly towards her village.
Temari's fan glided down into the sands just before the village gates. Sakura gazed up at the massive sand stairs that framed the path into the village. It surely was a sight to see.
Hinata had finally regained consciousness and the four headed off into the the village. They passed several guards on the long pathway. Naruto got caught up in talking to several of them while Hinata watched him with a humored smile. Temari attempted to keep Naruto moving each time he found something new to bother a guard about.
Sakura let her mind drift no longer hearing or seeing the people in front of her.
'How exactly do you seduce a man with no experience, no sexual desire, a constant body guard and an entire village of fangirls?'
'You rape him. Preferably in his sleep.' She heard her inner thoughts respond. She nearly fainted at the thought.
'You absolutely cannot just rape the freaking Kage of another village!' She yelled back. Her face was hot from blushing.
"Sakura!" She heard snapping her from her thoughts.
"We're almost inside stop fantasizing already." Temari snickered. Sakura blushed giving Temari a gentle glare.
"You better watch out the next time you and Shikamaru have a date." She responded watching Temari blush. Before Temari could retaliate both women heard Naruto spring forward loudly.
"Gaara!" Sakura's eyes widened and shot over in the direction Naruto was running off to. She froze. Hinata remembered Sakura's little confession and stopped midway between the girl's and Naruto to look back at her.
Sakura could see the concerned look on her face, but she hadn't much brain power to process it. Gaara stood a few paces in front of Naruto giving him a rather large smile, for Gaara anyway. His hair had gotten a bit longer, his eyes had softened slightly with the stress of war now behind him. Sakura nearly stabbed herself from lack of better things to do.
Gaara's eyes slid over to her and the other girls. He shot them a slightly smaller smile. Sakura felt her eye twitch from the eye contact. Despite her noticeably frozen state Temari grabbed her and Hinata's hand to drag them over to her little brother.
Hinata tugged at Sakura's shirt hoping to rouse her from the strange daze she'd entered.
"Welcome back, Temari. I welcome you as well Ms. Haruno, Ms. Hyuuga." Gaara greeted softly. Hinata smiled at him hoping to compensate for Sakura's behavior.
"Hinata is fine, Kazekage-sama." She responded. She faintly heard Sakura take a sharp breath before responding right after.
"As is Sakura." Hinata sighed. She turned to Sakura to find her blushing madly and fidgeting with her hands. She'd sunken to her level! Hinata nearly fainted at the sight. Thankfully Naruto had burst in right after taking Gaara's attention away from the very embarrassing reactions.
"Naruto, calm down for a moment please." Gaara asked chuckling very quietly. "Allow me to show you to your quarters. As personally requested guests you will be staying with my siblings and I in our home. I hope you do not mind." He offered before turning towards a nearby path and walking forward. Naruto followed almost immediately trying to brag about how his village would soon make him Kage.
Sakura could feel her ability to breathe return with every step Gaara took away from her. Hinata sighed glad she was finally completely normal again.
"Oh my goodness, Hinata, I don't think I should do this! I don't think I should even be here anymore! I'm a danger to myself, I couldn't even breathe anymore!" Hinata watched timidly as Sakura had an episode. Hinata grabbed both her hands and pulled them to her chest.
"I-I will help you in anyway I can! Please b-be calm Sakura!" Hinata offered. The two girls followed quickly after Gaara and Naruto.
To pass the time Naruto chattered away at a silent Gaara who was content with just listening. Temari showed the other two girls around the village with out straying too far from their little entourage.
Several girls caught Sakura's eye. As soon as she noticed them she noticed the other girls littering the street sending Gaara love struck eyes and pure hatred at Hinata and herself.
"Er, Temari, I don't think we are welcome here..." Sakura said uncertainly. Temari glanced at her in question looking over at what was troubling her.
"Ah those are Gaara's adoring fans. They will glare at anything that has any remote chance of being near him. I got a few glares for a few years too until the fact that I'm his sister started ringing bells. The entire village knows that the guests for the chunin exams will be staying with Gaara so they may get a little antsy." Temari laughed at the girls and Sakura looked back to find them still glaring. She made a note not to get lost on these streets alone.
They stopped in front of a large mansion almost in the center of the village. The Kazekage building was only a minute's walk away. Gaara opened the door ushering the other four inside and dismissing the guards.
"The exams are to be held in two weeks, giving you both time to adapt to your surroundings and prepare properly for the assignment you will receive." Gaara said slowly sitting in a rather expensive looking chair. You may all take a room together, separate or in any grouping you find acceptable. Please do not attempt to leave the house without Temari, Kankuro or myself as an escort as we do have some...rather eccentric wom...people in the village, and we cannot guarantee your safety if you cannot be found." Gaara said watching the other take seats awkwardly around him.
"You may or may not have been told of your responsibilities so I will explain them once more so that you may be fully aware. Ms. Haru...eh hem, Ms. Sakura, you have been requested as a proctor for the written exam as your intelligence is quite renowned in the shinobi world. Hinata, your visual prowess was especially selected as a sentinel, to assist Sakura in the written exams. If at all possible I am hoping you are willing to proctor the second match, as the grounds are large enough to require a dojutsu. Naruto you have been requested for the second phase, all genin will be released into a special dessert field, we have no where near enough shinobi to recover those who fail as such your prowess in multiple shadow cloning is a valuable asset as well as your strength in proctoring the final round." Gaara finished the three nodded accepting all their responsibilities.
Gaara smiled in relief. "I am relieved to hear I have not asked too much of you." He offered standing and ushering them to do the same.
"Come I will show you to your temporary quarters. Meals are at 8 in the morning, ranging from 12 to 2 in the afternoon, and ranging from 7 to 8 at night. Please do your best to be present for meals as Temari gets rather cranky when you do not show up." Gaara said a bit irritated at the thought. He stopped at one room.
"This is one guest room as well as the one beside it. Beside it is Kankuro's room and beside that is Temari's. My bedroom is directly in front of hers and beside my room is another guest room." Naruto jumped about excitedly taking the first room with Hinata shocking almost everyone there, including Hinata who nearly fainted before being pulled inside. Sakura sighed and moved towards the other room.
Entering the room she found the inside quite pleasing to the eye. The walls were a peaceful cream tone and a large black Japanese bed stood in the middle dressed in black sheets. Beside it on the ground was a fluffy white futon, most likely for her preferred sleeping arrangement.
She flopped down onto the soft fabric of the bed quite looking forward to getting some rest soon. Curiosity getting the better of her she decided to look around the mansion before dinner would be served.
She opened her door quietly peeking her head out into the hall and stepping through it when no one could be found.
She started with the floor above theirs. The house had three rather spacious floors. The floor they were on had five rooms two bathrooms and a wide balcony that gave a beautiful view over the village. The floor above seemed to have many rooms, she snuck up to one opening it a crack to peek inside. It seemed to be a training facility, she supposed even the Kazekage had to train.
Beside it was a puppet storeroom and beside that the workshop. Several doors following the workshop were locked tightly and she finally came to the last unlocked door. Going inside she happened upon a massive library filled to the brim with books on any and everything she could have thought of. Several medicinal guides caught her eye and she picked them up to flip through.
She made a note to return to this room after both her 'missions' were complete. She turned and froze shocked to see Gaara right in front of her.
"Ah, forgive me if i startled you, I only meant to collect a book." He said grabbing a book from the shelf beside her. "I see you've been satisfying your curiosity in our home." He said with a small smile. She blushed unsure how he knew about her little exploration adventure. "Rest assured you are allowed to continue but please do not attempt to enter any locked doors, no matter who or what you may hear inside." Gaara warned before turning to leave. She watched him in a daze as he sauntered away from her. He stopped suddenly and turned back to her making her jump rather stupidly.
"It slipped my mind, but I wished to thank you once again for healing my wounds after the fourth war." He said giving her a small smile. She held onto the book shelf behind her only able to nod as he turned and continued out.
When he had finally gone she dropped to her knees no longer able to stand. She wasn't going to last very long if things like this kept up. She replaced the book now totally focused on dominating Gaara in every and anyway possible.
She searched the house for his chakra finding him inside his bedroom. Snooping about a bit in his room may find her some valuable information but it was risky while he was anywhere nearby. Perhaps when dinner neared, or once he'd gone off to the office? She sighed dropping to the lower floor to continue her exploration.
Only a large and spacious kitchen, dining room, living, room and one large bathroom remained on that floor and Sakura had nothing else to do. Perhaps it was time to gain some information from his siblings.
She made her way upstairs where Kankuro who had just left his room was strolling towards her.
"Hey there kid, glad to see you made it here in one piece." Kankuro said ruffling her hair. She ignored his annoying gesture and followed him to the floor above.
"So what is with all the girl's here death staring Hinata and me?" She asked to begin with. Kankuro shrugged.
"Our baby brother is everyone's beloved savior, and he's good looking that's all it really takes." Kankuro answered.
"He must be single then I imagine any girl who tried to lay claims on him may vanish mysteriously." Kankuro stopped to think about it.
"You know I do believe that has happened once or twice, but Gaara doesn't have much interest in dating."
"Does he even know anything about it? I'm sure being Kazekage leaves no time to gain experience." Sakura responded her heart beating in her throat, she didn't know what she wanted the answer to that to be.
"Hmm, you know I don't really know, I kinda just assumed he know what to do, like natural instinct, but he may not know a thing. Well if he ever needs help he'll ask about it, and I've got all I need to help him out." Kankuro finished with a perverse snicker. Sakura cringed laughing along awkwardly.
"Well see you around Haruno." Kankuro said disappearing into the room she had found all the puppets in earlier.
'So he is single.' That made things easier for her, trying to rape another girl's lover wasn't her style. She was half hoping he was seeing someone so she'd be forced to surrender, but hearing this just edged her on.
She shook the thoughts from her head deciding a bath was well needed. She headed to the bath closest to the guest rooms freezing almost instantly when she head Hinata's soft voice and Naruto's low growl. She backed away from the bathroom not really in the mood to find out what was going on. Luckily another Japanese styled bathroom was on the other side and she slid into the quiet and empty room. She wondered how Gaara' took showers since he was always covered by sand.
She pictured it while shedding her clothing, imagining Gaara doing the same, his sand armor gliding right off and creeping into his gourd. His naked body rippling with muscles, tensing and relaxing under each cool or warm stream of water. His hair wet, and dripping, sticking to his perfect pale skin as his hands slid through it, as her hands ran through it, hearing him moan deeply in pleasure. His toned abs and chest as watcher trickled down them running over her hand as she felt each dent and bump that made his body the desirable temple of pleasure it was about to be when she finally pushed him over.
The soft skin everywhere from being under that sand armor, the deep rumbles that would burst from his throat as she touched and fondled him. The lust that would cloud his eyes as he begged her to continue to touch him.
"Ms. Sakura?" She heard snapping her from her perverse delusions. She was standing in the knee high water in only a towel a perverse blush on her face. She looked around for the source of the voice and found Gaara yet again right in front of her. He was laying back on the wall of the large bath bubbles covering his lower areas from her sight.
"I do not mind if you join but you may want to pull your towel up before you catch a cold." He offered pointing at the towel she'd dropped. She looked down noticing she'd only thought she was in a towel. She'd probably dropped it when he called out to her. She blushed darkly falling to her knees and pulling the towel to cover herself.
Gaara's face hadn't changed at all since she'd first seen him.
"Will you join or will you continue to kneel on the cold tiles?" He asked. She jumped into the water timidly hiding herself once again with the towel. He chuckled softly driving Sakura's heartbeat up into her throat. All she really wanted right now was to jump his bones, and he had to go appear in front of her, absolutely naked. Wet, and naked.
She continued to stare at him lustfully as he relaxed into the bath and closed his eyes. How was she going to get this started? She'd never really had to pursue a guy before. What was it that Ino had said? Talk and touch?
'make idle conversation while finding any reason at all to touch him.' Ino's words flashed through her mind. She looked him over again. But if she touched him the only one being seduced would be her.
She inched over to Gaara hoping her closeness would not disturb him in anyway. Finally sitting directly beside him she called his name timidly. His eyes opened slowly and his head turned to her gazing into her eyes waiting for her to speak. She stared into his face and he raised an eyebrow. (Or lack there of. lol)
"Yes Ms. Sakura?" He responded not sure what she was waiting for. Her hand reached out to touch his cheek and he raised both eyebrows. Her other hand did the same and he motioned to speak.
"Ms. Haruno is everything all-" He called out cautiously before his head was dragged down and his lips met hers in a quick peck.
"Your lips are so soft." Pulling a hairsbreadth away, she whispered against his lips before pulling them to hers again nibbling shyly on them. He wasn't pushing her away but he wasn't responding either. Was he trying not to hurt her feelings?
Slowly his lips began to move against hers and his tongue darted out against her lips. She shuddered at the feeling opening her mouth so that their tongues could dance. She took the lead before suddenly being over powered by him. She moaned into his mouth feeling her lips vibrate against his only increasing the pleasure.
He pushed her back against the side of the bath over taking the kiss more than she had expected. His hands slid down the wet skin of her arm his heat leaving a tingling trail behind before the voices at the door to the bath room ripped Sakura's attention from the extremely steamy kissing session to the door. She jumped from the water and jogged back into the separate dressing room for women.
'Oh shit.'
'Oh shit indeed.' her inner voice said perversely. 'We really need a taste of that again.' She clutched at her reddened face in shame hoping he wouldn't report her little episode to Temari who would then attempt to kill her. Maybe it would have been better to consult Temari, maybe she wouldn't mind her little crush on her brother?
Yea right. Little crush. She'd been undressing him in her mind, naked herself, right in front of him. She was doomed.
So there you go lol I hope you enjoy it :)Reviews are nice :D
