Training II X Change of Plans X New Couples?

He was dumbstruck, there were no other words, Itachi Uchiha was surprised to see a girl in front of him, but she was not just any girl "Kiyoko?"

"That's right, the one and only! so did you miss...uwaa!" She couldn't finish her sentence because Itachi had carried her bridal style and was already walking back to his bedroom "You owe me big time for not letting me sleep those past days" said the annoyed Uchiha earning a fit of giggles from the black-haired girl.

Once they reached his room Itachi threw Kiyoko on the bed "What are you doing? no wait, more importantly I have something to tell you!"

"I don't care, all I want to do is sleep! do you know how hard it's been for me? since that stupid day when Naruto helped you to sneak into my room, I've been having troubles trying to sleep" argued Itachi while undressing himself.

"But..." Kiyoko noticed him taking his shirt off and started hyperventilating "...wait I-I'm not ready!"

Itachi kissed her on the lips shutting her down, once they separated, he hugged her close to his chest and closed his eyes "good night" mumbled the Uchiha while nodding off.

Kiyoko just stayed there wondering what the hell had happened "Itachi?" she tried to get an answer but he was already sleeping "damn... oh well I guess I will have to tell him tomorrow" and with that she buried her face on his chest and fell asleep too.

Meanwhile

Gaara's team had arrived into their hotel already, Haku and Temari entered their room to get a nice shower and sleep. Gaara entered his room and started taking out his shirt, he was about to take out his pants when a squeal made him stop on his tracks.

"What the... Danielle? what are you doing here?" asked Gaara.

Danielle was covering her eyes trying hard not to look at Gaara "I-I...well...I-I asked your father if it w-was okay for me to come and c-cheer you up on the finals"

"You arrived today?" asked Gaara with a faint blush covering his cheeks.

"Yes, Kankuro-san escorted us along with Kiyoko and your father, Kiyoko should have told Itachi-san about this before, the Kazekage send her to to tell him to come with us tomorrow morning to a certain place" said Danielle.

"My father is here? did something happened?" asked the redhead.

"Yes, but don't worry! he is okay and Kiyoko-san helped to protect him so he is okay, well I'm going to my room, it was nice seeing you Gaara-san" said the girl walking to the door but was stopped by a hand.

"Wait! I...well I was thinking that...maybe you would like to stay...aah! I mean just to sleep! I-I mean..." said the poor Gaara blushing furiously.

Danielle was surprised by this but found Gaara's embarrassment kind of cute, she giggled a bit and nodded.

After the whole thing had settled down Gaara and Danielle went to sleep holding each other tightly, both of them with a smile.

X Temari X

She entered her room and noticed a certain redhead on her bed reading a magazine, he was awfully familiar to her, but she couldn't remember where had she see him.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my room? I hope you have a good excuse or I will kill you" threatened the blonde kunoichi.

"Wow sister, I missed you too" answered the guy looking at her with a bored expression.

"Wait what? Kankuro?" asked Temari in awe.

"Yeah its me, why are you so surprised? I mean, you didn't even recognized me" said Kankuro while crossing his arms on his chest.

"Well it's not my fault! I mean... look at you! those clothes, and your face! you are...normal!" pointed Temari to his face.

A thick mark appeared on Kankuro's head "I'm normal! but you guys started bugging me with the whole Kankuro-chan is gay thing and I got pissed off!" argued the older brother.

"Well its not my fault, even father thought you were...special" said Temari with a nervous smile.

"Whatever, I just came to tell you that Father want us tomorrow at room number 35, and make sure you are not followed, something happened so we need to be on guard" explained Kankuro walking to the door and leaving to his room.

The blonde girl just nodded at the information before Kankuro closed the door and went to take a bath, she really needed to relax.

X Next day X

Itachi yawned and stretched a bit, as he tried to move another weight prevented him from doing so, he opened one eye and noticed a certain black haired girl sleeping on top of him, curled like a cat and hugging him while she let a soft purr escape from her lips.

The Uchiha remembered the night before, his desperation had led him to the extreme to take Kiyoko with him and go to sleep, where did his Uchiha pride go? This girl had won over others and had made him addict to her. He eyed her once more noticing her small figure, she wasn't tall, probably around 5'1ft, and she wasn't heavy at all, if he had to guess her weight then he would said that she was around 48 kg.

He caressed her cheek making her snuggle more against his chest and purr a bit louder, it was kind of amusing so he continued doing it.

Kiyoko had been awake all this time, but the new attention she was getting was just so good to let it pass, she opened her eyes and looked at him "morning Itachi"

"Good morning Kiyoko, did you sleep well?" asked the Uchiha with a knowing smile, this girl could really make him feel good with himself, as if there was nothing to hide.

"The best night of my life...at least until you want to start making kitties...then that will be the best night of my life" said Kiyoko smirking while Itachi blushed a lot.

"D-Don't get a-ahead of yo-yourself, but I won't deny that I like this feeling, and if its okay with you...well..." Itachi was beating around the bush.

Kiyoko smiled and kissed him on the lips "There is a lot I want to know about you, and there is a lot that I want to tell you about me, but is better to take it slowly, just being like this with you is okay for me" said the black haired girl.

Itachi nodded and was about to reclaim another kiss when he suddenly remembered something "Didn't you said last night that you had something important to tell me?"

Kiyoko's eyes went wide "Holy catnip! how could I forget about that! The Kazekage is going to kill me if we are late come on!" said the cat-girl dragging Itachi out of bed and through the floor until they reached the room 35.

Once inside she noticed that everyone was already there "I'm sorry if we are late... we..." she tried to excuse themselves but the Kazekage beat her to it.

"It's okay to enjoy your youth, but please remember to be in time next time" said the Kazekage, then he looked at his son "You too Gaara, I know it had been a while since you saw Danielle but please next time try to refrain from being late"

So Gaara had arrived late too? she would talk with Danielle later.

- Meanwhile -

A certain green clad shinobi was training when suddenly "I feel the flames of youth within someone else here in the village...I must find whoever it is and let our flames of youth burn together!"

- Back in the room -

The Kazekage felt a shiver run through his spine, as if something traumatic was going to happen to him very soon... he shrugged the feeling aside and started the meeting.

"Kiyoko please put the barrier" commanded the Sand Kage, the girl nodded and put seals around the room "...What I'm about to discuss with you is strictly confidential..."

The room went into an understanding silent "A few days ago we discovered by certain... means... one of the plans that Orochimaru had for us, it seems like he is going to try and kill me, we got a spy to get this information out from him without a trace so there is not risk about them changing plans, I already prepared a countermeasure and set up a clone, It has enough chakra to move and do my job for about one month, and thanks to Kankuro that marionette will behave like if it were the real me, even if he dies it will look like me for about three days"

Itachi recalled the briefing on the Mansión back in Suna "Wait, so we are not going to destroy Konoha?" asked Itachi with a hint of hope on his voice, he couldn't help it as he still loved the village.

"No, I have new orders, we will play along until the invasion, and then Suna will assist Konoha against Otogakure, Orochimaru will pay the consequences of betraying Sunagakure" said the Kazekage (no really will anyone tell me his name?)

Both teams nodded, Gaara then turned at his father "What will you do in the meantime?"

"I will do something that I had never done before because of my own stupidity..." everyone looked at him confused by this "...I will be a father and help you train, I think that you will be more than capable to use my gold dust manipulation if you train hard"

This surprised the three brothers, Gaara was even more shocked by this because it was the first time his father wanted to spend time with him "I'm looking forward to it father" assured the red haired.

"Well then for now the meeting is adjourned if anything happens I'll call you, but for now I would like to talk with Gaara in private, after that I will head to the Hokage tower" Everyone nodded and left the room leaving Gaara and the Kazekage alone, Danielle was about to leave when the ruler of the sand village stopped her "Please wait, I would like if you stay and hear what I have to say"

Danielle was taken aback by this, but she nodded and stood by Gaara's side.

"I know I have been a terrible father Gaara, and I know that nothing I do will redeem myself, but I can at least tell you the truth about your mother" said the man with a sad look in his eyes.

Gaara didn't know what to make of it, after all his father had told him that his mother hated him, that she had never loved him.

"The truth is...that your mother loved you with all her heart, she hated me for sealing the Shukaku inside of you and wished for me to die by your own hands...I had big expectations about you, but I never had the patience nor did I have the wisdom to train or raise you as I should...I wont ask for forgiveness, but I will try to be better until the day when your hate for me is less than it is today, Gaara...I assure you that you were and are being loved, even now I can see it in this girl's eyes, don't ever hesitate about that"

Danielle was blushing so much that even Hinata would be jealous at the new shade of red that the girl was portraying.

Gaara on other hand was letting everything sink, his mother loved him? he couldn't help but smile, because no he knew, that he was loved by her mother and siblings, and not only that, he wasn't blind as Naruto (he had listened some stories from Fu) he could see Danielle's feelings towards him and he accepted them, because she was the first person who was different from him and still accepted him.

"Let me think about everything, I don't know if I can forgive you because my life was a living hell before Naruto came to our village, and he only needed to stay there a few days to change me, but let me learn about my feelings, and then, maybe on the future we can sit and talk about this again" offered Gaara with a smile that took the Kazekage by surprise.

The ruler of the sand only nodded let out a heavy sigh "I'll be waiting for you tomorrow to start your training, come here and then we will go to a training ground"

Gaara nodded, took Danielle's hand on his and walked out of the room.

Once outside the redhead looked at the girl's eyes and got lost for a second into her violet orbs "I don't know how to say this, but I...I really like being with you...I'm not good with feelings and emotions, but if I could...If you let me...I would like to discover my feelings with you...so will you...give me the honor of being my girlfriend?"

Danielle was speechless, she had fell in love with the boy since the day he saved her, his eyes that looked tormented, and his emotionless face that for some reason demanded to find a reason to live.

She had fell in love with him because he was different, because after she learned about the hell that this guy had been put through, his only wish was to be loved.

He used to demand blood and revenge, but it was only a facade from his prisoner, what he wanted was to be loved and then one day it only happened, she wanted to be the one loving him and making him smile.

She nodded and hugged him without a care, which surprised Gaara. Normally his sand would blow away anyone who tried to touch him, the only exception was his sister and his brother, but this girl had run into his arms without a care, and his sand had not reacted against it.

He returned the hug and stroke her hair, she raised her head and looked at his eyes, both of them getting lost into each other's gazes, and then it happened.

At first it was a silly kiss, after all it was his first and he didn't know how to do it right, she closed her eyes and tried to return the kiss with the same clumsiness as him, after all it was her first kiss too.

They parted and shared a smile, maybe this could go better and better with some practice, and with that in mind he kissed her again.

X Fu, Haku and Hinata X

Both of them had gone to the training grounds, Haku wanted to see Hinata's progress with wind element.

"Okay Hinata, I want to see your progress" asked the black haired Kunoichi.

Hinata nodded and concentrated enough to start a small wave of wind chakra run through her palms, it wasn't much actually but it was enough to let a continuous flow in her palm.

Haku liked this because it would help them to use Ice Style, "okay, your water control is excellent, but your wind control is not that great, we will train to get it better and then we will try the basis for Ice Style, It will help you to take your enemies by surprise"

Fu then started explaining to Hinata the basis of wind control and how the exercise worked

Both girls started training wind control while Naruto summoned Kurama to start his own training.

"Hey kit, I think I have an idea to piss off that Uchiha prick" said the Kurama with a mischievous grin.

"Don't talk about my brother like that!" argued Naruto to the nine tailed beast.

"I'm talking about your opponent, idiot!" argued back Kurama.

"Oh...I knew that...hehe, anyway what do you have in mind?" asked the blonde with interest.

"Well...what about..."

Finish!
