Before June found herself in Naruto's employ she had fallen on hard times. Business had grown slow with the fall of Omashu and several neighboring towns becoming Fire Nation territory. As a result a large percentage of her clientele became inaccessible to her. With Ba Sing Se as the only safe haven left, with the Northern Water Tribe being the only exception, people everywhere where in a panic. Focus was being put on preparing defenses against the Fire Nation or running, meaning bounties were the last thing on anyone's mind.

The only potential clients left were small villages which could hardly scrape up money for a bounty let alone survive, and the capital of the Earth Kingdom Ba Sing Se. Considering money for supplies and the distance traveled, (ignoring the fact June really liked to pamper herself despite her appearance and rather gruff attitude) the money Naruto paid her would probably keep her content for a couple of months at best.

So seeing that it was the next morning it was time to begin the search again. June was already in the saddle, waiting for Naruto to join her. The young man hopped up and landed behind Jun without any great pomp his hands nestling around her waist. "Go Nyla." Jun said softly urged on the Shirshu, one hand on the reigns and the other on the horn of the saddle. Nyla reared its hind legs before taking off at full gallop.

They traveled fast, but dawn broke before they reached their destination. June pulled Nyla to a standstill, leaping off the beast and watching as her companion did the same. Naruto gave the Shirshu a loving stroke that had become quite familiar with the blond. The creäture snuffled and purred as Naruto continued to stroke her for a few moments before the beast darted off, in search of water and food.

June settle down against a tree trunk as Naruto went about setting up a fire. ''I'm beginning to think this seer of yours is giving us the run-around.'' June remarked as Naruto just chuckled.

''Will get to her eventually, that much I'm sure so don't worry or is my company that bothersome?'' he asked as June snorted in an unladylike matter.

''You make a good meal and save a girl a few bucks on camp fire supplies. I can deal with your presence for a few weeks.'' she answered his question with that sarcastic wit. They've been traveling together for weeks and during this time, June had spent more time thinking about this single man than any other. He seemed quite energetic and reserved as well. He was confident and a gentlemen despite innuendo laden jokes he seemed to crack every now and then.

Though, he was more of a very energetic flirt who seemed able to understand both meanings of no. Something that tend to develop in long lived lovers or in men who had been married for quite a while. Whether or not the blond had been married in the past June wasn't sure, she never asked much about his past. It didn't hurt that he was a fantastic lover who for all intents and purposes was energetic and normal. With oddly enough seemed to be a rare traits as the years went on.

He also didn't look down at her like some snooty and condescending noble or thought of her as some cheap hooker. He could at least hold an intelligent conversation with her without the topic degrading into something else. In fact whenever he brought up a dialogue about war and peace or the applications of true unity between the nations June had to admit those kind of suggestions were a bit above her head. Maybe it was his eyes that did it. That he didn't leer at her and tried to press on into intimate things without permission. Something that occurred regularly because she was beautiful, something she was aware of and took advantage in during several of her bounties.

He was a nice guy, but with such an odd balance to him. He could be a bit loud or impulsive at times, but despite his negative traits they were endearing in an odd way. He had all this power yet he seemed to be pretty humble. June could count on hand the number of people who wouldn't have went mad with power and would have been quick to take over the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation.

He was an enigma in an unorthodox relationship and he just seemed so harmless when he was a playful mood despite evidence proving otherwise. And June couldn't help but be intrigued in trying to solve the puzzle that was Naruto. ''We're getting close to a pretty well established village. The person we're looking should be pretty close.''

''Good...'' Naruto responded as the fire finally got started. ''A change of clothes would be nice. Considering the money I've given you June you could get yourself a few outfits.''

''So what are you trying to say?'' she asked with a menacing look and flare of her nostrils at what she assumed was a slight by the blond.

''Nothing unlike the way you're thinking. Brown and Black looks good on you but I was just thinking you might like to go with green or something, but whatever you decide it's your choice.'' he answered.

"Whatever you say," June responded to Naruto's comment. "You could be a bit of a nut sometimes." He could have probably killed her in the blink of an eye, but when she started to get angry he began to cower. He was just odd like that.

''Yeah well...you're beautiful.'' he cheekily remarked.

The pale skin bounty hunter rested her chin in her hand as she rolled her eyes. ''Just shut up and go get dinner started.''

''Have to start the fire and now go get the food...thought I was employing you.'' he cheekily remarked.

''If you think you can deal with my cooking then eat at your own risk. I'm not liable for any of your medical bills.''

Dinner that night was a Fox Antelope that Naruto 'liberated' from some hunters. The meal had been quiet until Naruto struck up another conversation. ''Have you ever fallen in Love June?''

''Me? Women like me don't fall in love. We get comfortable with the situation and sometimes those choices lead to misery.'' she calculatedly responded to his question. She took out a large chunk of the Fox Antelope.

''And what type of woman is that?'' he asked as June swallowed down the chunk of meat.

''Aggressive...as you can see I'm not house-wife material.''

''Not every woman is fit for the role of a house-wife. Anko, one of the people from my past taught me that.'' he began with a reflective smile formed on his face.

"Seems like you had a lot of strong female influences in your life." she remarked as Nyla nuzzled against her arm.

''A very wise man once told me a true ladies man isn't a guy who can seduce countless women, but a man with a good heart and quality so he could be any ladies man.''

She laughs, genuinely amused at Naruto's statement. ''That's actually a pretty good sentiment. So you think you could be 'my' type?''

''It depends on you...give and take, can I be any more your type then you are mine.'' Naruto asked as a Cheshire grin formed on his face which invoked something of a knowing smirk and lustful grin from June.

''Well...how do you feel about erotic whip play?''

They had rented a hotel room, posing as a newlywed married couple. The town was one of those close-knit community types with bratty kids, nosy ninnies, and that overly friendly type that wanted to show any newcomer about their little town. The arrangement was her idea to both his and her own surprise. Maybe it was to stave off unwanted advantages, (but something told her it wouldn't be completely fool-proof) or maybe June wanted to entertain the idea of a single person tryst. Struggling with such a thought was not a usual part of her character. As her father once told her, your decisions must be rolled with your mind, not your heart. That was rule number one. Examine everything with a cold, calculate indifference with the result; the payload at the end of a job being in mind upon completion.

There were cons to being with him of course. For one June couldn't trust the blond wouldn't try to turn her into a house wife and there was the sharing him aspect. Love had always been a foreign subject to June so just being one of many pretty faces in a man's collection was not part of her agenda. On the other hand he was kind, loving, loyal and very truthful. June couldn't think of a man who would willing admit to being in the type of relationship he was in when he had the money and charisma to wrap a woman around his finger without said woman being able to easily find the other women.

Experienced, was a good lay, handsome, rich, loyal, loving, and he got along well with Nyla. Then again he could be a bit aloof at times, a bit perverted, stuck out like a sore thumb. Okay if she had to admit she was trying to invent cons now.

Things were slowly forming from just another business arrangement into something more and that got June starting to think about what she wanted for the rest of her life. She was still plenty young and could go along this line of work for another decade or so, but then what? Would she continue on alone, only inviting men to her bed for her own comfort? To satisfy urges and to cut them loose as she continued her lone journey on the road. June did know one thing though. If Naruto kept on consistently using that tongue trick of his she might just take him up on his offer of joining this little family he was building.
