Part 41

Naruto handled the news better than she expected and the three talked about the Twins for an hour.

Rue spent the rest of the day with Gaara. They'd gone back to Naruto's apartment. They wanted to be alone.

But people were waiting.

A certain redheads siblings and several of Rue's friends. So Temari, Kankuro, Shikamaru, Neji, and Hinata. As well as Kiba ad his faithful canine Akamaru. Looking at them all crammed in front of Naruto's door made Rue realize how much friendlier to boys she was then girls.

Not to mention that, with the exception of Kankuro, Rue had a small crush on the boys present.

The only boy she'd never seen as a possible love interest was Naruto. He'd always been a goofy older brother to her. And she's alway's thought of Kankuro as that weird kid that sniffed markers and ate glue.

"You guys could have waited inside. The door was unlocked." Rue told them

"Rue! That's incredibly dangerous." Temari scolded while the rest gasped.

Rue shrugged and squeezed through them, opening the door.

Everything was, of course, still in it's place.

"I think you guys forget that this is Naruto's apartment. He's shunned by the village. Part of that is being ignored. Also even with me living here the most valuable things we have is my purity of body and Naruto's inner beastie." Rue rambled as she went inside.

"Right..." Neji shook his head and everyone followed her in.

She finished doing the laundry. Then she pulled Temari aside, frowning.

"Rue? Are you okay?"

"Temari... I can't go with you guys anymore. I'm sorry if I got your hopes up."

"What do you mean?" Temari eyes her curiously.

"I accidentally brought my siblings back to life three months ago. It was just brought to my attention and I can't just leave them. And their not developed enough to come with me. And their so beautiful. I've only known them a day but I love them." As she explained, tears filled Rue's eyes.

Temari pulled her into a hug and rubbed her back slowly.

"It's okay, does Gaara know?

"Yes, he was the first person I told." Rue nodded and wiped her eyes.

"Then what's the problem?"

"I guess there isn't one." Rue smiled faintly.

"Good. Now, you have other quests to attend to." Temari said, nudging Rue towards the group of pre-teens gathered around Naruto's bed.

Rue nodded and went over to the group.

"There's no way that mutt is better than my puppets!" Kankuro exclaimed to Kiba.

"HA! Like any of your puppets could handle Akamaru." Kiba challenged bodly.

"Ugh! I knew I should have brought RUE with me!" Kankuro whined.

Of course the statement earned him a slap from Rue, a sand punch from Gaara, and a fan clubbing from Temari. Though it also got some curious looks from everyone else in the apartment.

"He made an anatomically correct puppet of me." Rue filled in for them.

Hearing that Hinata looked disgusted and startled. Neji's eyes darkened dangerously. Shikamaru seemed disinterested and Kiba, well his eyes lit up with intrigue .

"I don't know about that. He got some things wrong."Gaara said, his eyes glued to Rue.

Rue blushed while everyone turned to Gaara, stunned.

"And how would you know?" Kankuro demanded.

"I -" Gaara started

Rue immediately placed a hand over his mouth.

"What happens between Gaara and myself has nothing to do with you. So butt out." Rue said quickly

"Did something happen between the two of you?" Neji asked.

"Again, it's out business." Rue told him, chewing of the inside of her left cheek, lowering her hand from Gaara's face.

As she did Gaara smirked and looked at Neji almost tauntingly.

"There's way too much testosterone in here." Rue mumbled
