"Naruto, what does being given one of these mean?" Gaara questioned sitting at a small table in the living room of Kankuro's house. Looking up, and breaking away from his thoughts, Naruto looked at the red box in Gaara's hands his eyes widening slightly. "You too huh? Never would've seen that coming." Naruto said, confusing Gaara a bit."What?""Ah, sorry. You wanted to know what it means to get one. Umm, well when it's time for a maiko to become a full geisha they sell their mizuagi. That box there tells you that you can place a bid on them." Naruto replied, waiting a moment as Gaara stared at the box absorbing the information. "I see, he gave one to someone else too." Gaara looked up waiting for Naruto to continue, sighing Naruto pinched the bridge of his nose.Letting his hand fall from his face Naruto continued, "Then his aniki is probably attempting to start a biding war, because with that it will sell for a higher price then if they just offered to one person." Naruto said, and Gaara wondered why the hell Naruto knew all this but then the image of Ero-sennin popped in his. (1) Or well at least that what Naruto called him. After a moment of chewing on his lip Naruto pulled out the small black box given to him by Sasuke. "You should bid." Naruto spoke softly not really thinking about what he was saying."What?!" Gaara's head snapped up at this, and Naruto smiled softly."We were looking for people to keep our minds from deteriorating right, to keep from going completely insane. Our sheaths." (2) Naruto said looking up hopefully at the red-head, who looked away. "You know this would be good, I mean look at you. Your already healing." Naruto said leaning over the table brushing a bit of hair away from the others face. Naruto smiled more at the fact that Gaara hadn't shyed away from the touch. Sitting back and sighing, Naruto sat the black box, similar to Gaara's own red box. "Anyway--" Naruto started as he stood from his seat and moving to look out the window at the passing geisha and maiko. "--we still have time to think on it. We don't have to decide right now, but we only have a week." Staring at the boxes Gaara said nothing, instead he just thought. "We have the location to the next hit. (3) Actually a small group of them." Gaara said after a few moments of silence, Naruto nodded in reply. "Hm, I'll kill them. Your cleaning up this time not me." Naruto stated dully, as he continued to stare out the window.
Neji & Sasuke"Where did you get that parasol?" Sasuke asked shutting Neji's door, then moving over to pick up the parasol. Neji smiled secretively as Sasuke proceeded to open it."Gaara gave it too me." Neji replied pouring tea into two small cups sitting on the table, Sasuke looking over at the lavender eyed boy as if to ask if he was joking."What for?" Sasuke asked closing it then setting it in the corner again, Neji thought for a moment trying to remember his words."I think he said something about being blamed for traumatizing me, so he bought it as an apology." Neji sipped at his tea before sitting it down. "Hey Sasuke, can you keep a secret?" Neji asked, already knowing the other could, but he needed the conformation first. "Of course." Sasuke replied sitting in front Neji feeling oddly curious now. Without another word Neji picked up the parasol and proceeded to unsheath the dagger, that was concealed within the handle. Sasuke's eyes widened as he watched, he wanted to question but couldn't seem to think of what to say. Gently taking the dagger from Neji's hands, Sasuke inspected it curious touching a fingers to the sharp edge. "Ow." Sasuke hissed watching the blood swell up on his finger.Neji's eyes widened before taking the blade from Sasuke's hands and putting it back in the parasol. "What did you do that for?!" Neji yelled looking around for a something he could wipe the blood up with, finding nothing he opted for sticking Sasuke finger in his mouth and sucking softly to bring up all the blood and stop the bleeding. Sasuke's eyes widened next, his face turning a red so bright it rivaled Gaara's hair. "What are you doing? Don't do that moron!!" Sasuke yelled before Deidara opened the door to see what all the comotion was, taking in what he saw Deidara grinned. "No it's not what you think I swear!!!" Sasuke yelled yanking his finger from Neji's mouth. "Ah." Deidara said disbelievingly before shutting Neji's door and yelling, "Haku guess what Neji and Sasuke were doing!!!" Deidara yelled, making Neji and Sasuke give each other wide eyed glances before taking off after the blonde. Who had somehow pulled a disappearing act.
A/N1. Jaraiya if none of you watched the japanese version, or hell read the manga.2. Now Geisha are more popular for business men trapped in arranged marriages. The time Ive placed the story in is when they more for keeping samurai's and assassins from going insane. Much like a wife in some cases just without the commitment. I dont know.3. The people theyre going to kill, they hide so instead of just going to the location they have to find where that is.Ok now to clarify more things for people. Yes more than two people can bid, it's just I can't think of anymore right now. And usually they dont hand out two at once anyways. Since it's supposed to be a secretive thing, who can bid and what not. Oh and thank you for informing its riceballs I knew it was something including rice. And one other thing, yeah Haku knows it's just Oro is rich so it would secure Sasuke's future if he bidded high. That away he wouldnt spend his whole life earning back his purchase price. I think thats all... review!~Yuri
