Grand Summoning Jutsu

"hum, hum" Maya hummed to herself as she walked down the dusty streets of Konohagakure. It was late afternoon before she finally got off work and started shopping for materials for the dress she was going to make for herself to wear to the Dinner. She had a pretty good Idea of what she wanted, but it was just finding the right items to put it together. She figured that most of the girls there would have somewhat of a Japanese based traditional Kimono because of their family background. Maya wanted something different, to stand out above the others so that she would get a more eye popping look from her escort, the Kazekage of the Desert. She decided she would go with more western style Victorian fitting gown. Her travels through the different countries allowed her to see a great deal of things, including fashion.

She thought a lot about him as she fluttered between shops, He was a hard man to read, even in spending a lot of time together he still had quite a flat personality. She found it rather cute how he would cross his arms when standing next to her, looking straight ahead.She giggled every time she pictured his blushing cheeks when they kissed. He really never had a girlfriend before and so he rarely knew how to act around her in public, or in private for that matter. None the less she was falling hard for the redheaded Sand ninja, despite his extreme insomnia due to Shukaku being sealed within him she felt she could help him with his suffering.

"this is perfect" Maya held a piece of red material up to in order for her to have a better look. She had finally found the texture she liked, matching it with a few under layers, she wanted the dress to have some body to it.she also decided to pick up a few long strands of red ribbon, some blood red body paint, small glittering jewels and a hair pin of a butterfly that sparkled with the light at certain angles and the wings bounced a little when a step was taken.

"finally, I have all I need" she smiled with bags in her hands weighing her arms down at the sides. It was times like this that she wished Gaara was around so she could make him carry them for her.

~*~*~*~*

"pffft" a long annoyed huff came from behind the white cloth curtain of the dressing room where the Redheaded Kazekage was trying on the different suits.

"common man, it isn't that bad" the voice of his brother echoed though the small shop, he himself was standing in front of the mirror dressed in a black tuxedo a white shirt under, topped with a black bow tie. He looked himself up and down pointing and winking at the reflection. "damn, I look good." he would occasionally whisper. His eyes widened at the sound of Gaara loosing all control in laughter behind the curtain. "what's wrong?" a surprised Kankuro responded right away

"you!" he laughed out loud. "you are so conceded!"

"dude, I never heard you laugh before, well.... Maybe in a crazy kind of way, but not in fun."

Gaara took a step out into the open area of the shop, he sported a similar outfit his brother, Kankuro, was wearing. Looking rather charming, his red hair and tattoo were now extremely vibrant due to the contrast between the black and white suit.

"right on man, wanna be MY date?" his brother laughed watching his brother step into the mirror.

"I feel ridiculous."

"you really shouldn't, everyone is going to be wearing one." the puppet master watched as the tailor kneeled at Gaara's side to pin what needed to be taken in, even tough the suit fit him quite well. " I think this is the best one so far."

"I really don't care, I still think this Dinner is pointless." grunted Gaara.

"yeah right?" sighed Kankuro. "so who are you taking?" he followed with a question.

An uneasy look whipped across the young redheads expression, which told Kankuro that he hit it on the nose, his younger brother actually did have a date.

"you have someone? And you didn't tell me?" the tall brown haired boy laughed wrapping his arm around Gaara's neck. "you dog you. So who is she?"

"er" Gaara just gave his kankuro a narrow look before speaking. "Maya...."

Kankuro crinkled his nose before speaking "Maya... Maya" he repeated like he forgot who she was.

"she traveled with us." is flat voice almost seemed annoyed that his older brother can forget things so quickly.

"OHHHH!... ohhhhh" Kankuro narrowed his eyes and nudges his brother in the side. "she's' hot"

"whatever" spat the young Kazekage turning red at the cheeks.

"anyway, I think I was going to take that Ramen chick, she's pretty cute." Kankuro spoke as he removed his arm from around Gaara's neck to straighten himself to look in the full length mirror. Gaara only stood behind him looking at himself in the monkey suit they were forcing him to wear.

"I just want this over with, so I can get back to Sunagakure and get back to my duties."

"your on Vacation, enjoy yourself." breathed Kankuro fixing the jacket of his suit to flatten it out.

"Are we finished here?" Gaara was beginning to get annoyed watching his brother admire his own reflection.

"yeah yeah, lets go then."

~*~*~*~*~

Maya sat working at her dresser working on her dress, until the early hours of the morning. It was nearly finished just a few added touches and it would look perfect and exactly what she had envisioned. The puffy red dress lay across her bed awaiting for the last bit to be finished, a few stone were attached to the mesh like overlay to add a sparkle in certain lights.

"hum, long night" Maya stretched her arms over her head lifting herself from her chair admiring her handy work that lay sprawled over the bed. She picked the dress up by the top and help it up, it was somewhat heavy from all the layers but it was the look she wanted. The upper half was a strapless corset with the stones she hand picked up, they were displaced along the top edge, in order to draw attention to her chest. The corset laced in the back criss crossing from the top to the tail bone, allowing the two pieces of ribbon that emerged from it to fall freely half way down the length of the gown. The base was a few layers of red material, having it fluff out a bit that would reach to her feet, more stones were placed along the outer layer in a flower/star designs.

"but worth it, I can't wait for tonight." she sighed she covered the dress with a thin sheet after hanging it on a hanger and placed it in her closet. "but now I have to go to work" she whined. "Gaara better like this or I will have to kill him" she giggled at the thought of her date wearing a Tuxedo. "he's going to be so uncomfortable, I know it."

She eventually dragged herself to the washroom to flick the water on. Holding her fingers under the running water she found the perfect temperature and pulled the shower knob up. Removing her clothing she had worn all though the night was thrown to the side , The steam now rose from the tub the longer she allowed it to run. Sweeping the shower curtain to the side she stepped in then recoiling it after herself. She sighed gently as the warm water engulfed her tiny body, soaking her hair when she tipped it under the falling water.

"hum, I should get ready now" a relaxed groan escaped as she stood for some time, she finished her shower, turning off the water. She stepped out once again to wrap a light pink fluffy towel around her upper half exposing her legs all the way up to just below her bottom.

"maybe I should sing at the dinner" she thought "since Gaara already heard my vice it wont be so embarrassing." she giggled "I wont take over his body this time of course" she flicked her wet hair from over her shoulder and allowed the dripping water to fall down her back, it was now being absorbed by the towel turning it a darker pink color. "and I have the perfect song for you" a wide smile appeared as she left the bathroom and made her way into her small apartment to get ready for the days work.
