Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

“What about her then?” Temari pointed to another woman who had just passed us.

“No... Gaara doesn't deserve someone so… vulgar.” I answered eyeing the woman critically. “Vulgar?” Temari examined the woman. “I wouldn't call her vulgar.” I look at her once more, but remained with the thought that Gaara deserved someone better.

“Perhaps, Kankuro was right. Absolutely no woman will be good enough for him... beside you, after all you do like Gaara correct” She teased me and I felt a blush rise.

“That isn't it at all I don't like him!” I screamed quickly, maybe too quickly. Temari gave me an `I knew it' look and walked away. With a red face I followed her.

“First, I must know for what type of woman Gaara falls for.” I said defensively and looked at Temari from the corner of my eye.

“Euh... That is a great question. Gaara has never really... as far as I know... found a woman his type.” She answered after a small pause. “He can get enough of them in his bed, but they always end up being one night stands.”

“He has one night stands!!” I said with a shocked look on my face.

“Of course, what did you think? Sex is just sex. You can do that without feeling something for the other person you're doing it with.” She said and looked at me. “Sorry.” She excused herself quickly, when she saw my face. “You really like him, don't you?” She asked now serious and I turned to a tomato state again. Laughing, Temari led me back to the Kazekage's tower.

`There's no point in denying it. At home I've always found him a hunk. Even though he was a character in Naruto, here Gaara was as real as I was, and much more good-looking than I ever thought possible.' I admitted to myself silently, but I wasn't planning on confessing that to anyone else.

`Alright, now I must find out for what type Gaara falls for.' I said to myself after I had thrown Kankuro out of my room. That guy really got an obsession with my pillow. I eventually had to sacrifice it by throwing it out of the room. Thinking, I began to pace up and down, but decided that I had to talk to Gaara. I took my new block note and a pencil, which I had bought with Temari and walked to Gaara's office.

This time I took my time to knock, but then walked in, not waiting for the answer that I wasn't going to get. Gaara was surprised and let a stunned look go through his eyes.

“Gaara, I'm here for research.” I said as if that was the most logical thing ever. With my block note and pencil in hand I was ready to begin. “So...” All of a sudden I felt sand around my waist and before I knew it, I was back looking at the office door. Stunned I saw the last of the sand closing the door behind them.

“Hey, that isn't fair!” I yelled, storming past the door and pointed an accusing finger at Gaara. “I've got nothing that can go against your sand, therefore that's cheating.” I defined the rules. I looked pissed, but he only looked amused.

He raised his hand and the sand started to return to me, before it even had reached the gourd. “That's not fair! You should at least answer one question!” I exclaimed with my eyes on the sand, but it didn't stop.

It was already starting to surround my waist again. My eyes narrowed themselves and slid to Gaara. “If you don't help me with this challenge, then you also can't really win.” I attacked him verbally and the sand stopped. “Everyone will know of this challenge and think about what you're people will think of you, if you can't even take a simple challenge as this seriously.” Gaara looked at me as if I was the most boring person on earth and the sand started moving again. “And if you take this seriously and tell me everything I want know. Then you can prove to all of Suna that they really are loveless.” I tried as my final hope and the sand stopped again. I looked back stunned to the Kazekage. He looked at me a couple minutes before he finally opened his mouth.

“One question.” He said giving in. I planted a large smile on my face and knew exactly which question I would ask. “What do you want in a woman?” I asked polite and pushed the sand more to my legs, but it didn't move an inch. I expected a very long answer, after a few long moments; instead I got a direct short answer. “Great sex.” was his answer and with that his sand brought me back outside.

“Great sex?!” I said stupidly to the door in front of me. “What's that for an answer?” I called through the door, so loud that Gaara certainly must have heard me. With a frown on my face I walked away stamping my feet. Until I ended up in the kitchen, in the beginning I thought that there was nobody present until I discovered someone in the refrigerator. When the person showed himself, I recognized him immediately. “Kankuro?” I said.

“Ah, Shizuka, what brings your here?” He had turned himself to me and gave me a large grin.

“I've just come from Gaara...” I stated.

“Ah, is the seduction a success?” He interrupted me and put a piece of chocolate in his mouth.

“What! I' am not seducing him!” I said defensively but a slight blush still reaching my cheeks.

“Yeah, yeah, tell me what happened?” He asked my previous answer ignored.

“I had wanted to find out what type of woman he falls for. But first he had his sand put me back outside his office, afterwards I stormed back in and eventually I got to ask one question.” I answered and looked how the next piece of chocolate disappeared.

“And what was the question?” He asked after the piece had disappeared from his mouth.

“What he wants in a woman?”

“And?”

“Great sex.” I said while rolling my eyes. Kankuro had to oppress his laughter and after he got himself back under control, he opened his mouth to answer.

“I should have seen that one coming. The only thing he wants of a woman at the moment is sex.” He admitted. I frowned and decided that I needed to be more specific with my questions.

-

The next day I was again standing before the Kazekage's office. I knocked and walked in. This time Gaara wasn't surprised, it was more like he already expected me since he didn't even looked up from his papers.

“Alright, Gaara, the next question.” I said while I was standing with my hands on my hips before him. “Describe your dream woman.” I said rather happy with myself. Now he had to give me a description.

“I don't care how she looks.” He answered still without making any eye contact. I let my mouth fall open, but recovered quickly.

“You're doing this on purpose!” I called back and again walked away stamping my feet. Of course I also had trouble with the door.

But the next day I already had a new plan. One knock and I walked into the office. Just like yesterday Gaara didn't look at me, but simply kept working. I walked to his desk and let my two hands drop down on it.

“Alright...” I started when he look stunned up. I guessed that until now, nobody had ever hung over him the way I was doing now. I wanted to start with my explanation, but nevertheless saw that Gaara wasn't really paying attention, his eyes weren't aimed at my face. With a questionable look, I looked down and looked right in my bosom. My eyes shot open, I became a nice red coloring and literally jumped up.

“Pervert!” I accused as I was trying to hide my breasts. He returned an empty look and I glared at him.

“Now I finally have your attention, I'm letting you know that we will be dining with a couple of ladies on Sunday.” I said very polite. “Think of the challenge.” I said quickly when I saw his protesting face, but eventually he nodded. I worked a magical, large smile on my face and walked happily out the office. `Now I only have to find the ladies.' I thought sighing and after a small pause I decided I needed Temari and Kankuro's help.

I had decided to request the siblings help during lunch. I was the first one present in the diner, but was fast accompanied by Temari and five minutes later also by Kankuro. Just like the previous days there wasn't a sign of Gaara. During the head dish I decided to throw my problem on the table.

“I need your help.” I said.

“With the challenge?” Temari asked looking interested and I nodded.

“What can we do?” Kankuro gave me his whole attention.

“I've got Gaara so far that he's going to dine with me and a couple of ladies on Sunday.”

“What? Gaara! Dining?” Kankuro looked at me with large eyes. “What did you do to persuade him?” He asked with an accusing voice.

“Definitely not what you're thinking.” I said with a played anger and my accident of this morning came back to mind. I felt a small blush forming on my cheeks, but ignored it and went further.

“I simply said that if he cooperates and he wins the challenge. He can prove to all of Suna that they really are loveless. But as for what I need your help with.” Temari nodded that I could go on. “I don't have any ladies.” I explained and Temari cheered up.

“Oh, that can't be that difficult. We simply send them an official invitation of the Kazekage. Nobody can reject that.” Kankuro nodded agreeing with his sister's explanation.

“But what kind of ladies do you want?” He asked.

“I was thinking, I want several types, so that I can find out for what kind of type Gaara falls.” I answered and a grin appeared on Kankuro's face.

“You don't expect them all to have sex with him, do you?” He teased me and now I became entirely red.

“No!” I yelled abruptly. Temari, who couldn't follow, looked questionable from me to her brother, but decided that it wasn't worth it.

“Let's first, when we're done with eating of course, make the invitations and then go to the village to look for your ladies.” Temari made up the plan for the rest of the day.

-

“We still have one problem.” Kankuro said when Temari was content with the invitation, she had written. We looked at him questionably.

“That invitation must be signed by Gaara himself or it isn't an official invitation from the Kazekage.” He said to us clear. Temari's face got a hopeless expression, which I didn't get.

“Leave that to me.” I said and took the paper from Temari's hand. I rushed towards Gaara's office. I was starting to see it as a habit. I heard the two siblings behind me, but ignored them and as usual stormed in the office.

“Gaara, could you sign this, please?” I asked and dropped the invitation on the present file before him. He stared at it for a few minutes before raising it. I heard two disappointed sighs behind me, but then clearly to their surprise, the Kazekage leaned backwards and started to read the invitation. Afterwards, he took a pen and started making some improvements.

Kankuro and Temari were on both sides of me and we looked stunned to the improved paper that Gaara laid back down. Then he took an official paper of him and started to write down the invitation neatly.

When he was ready, he put his signature underneath it and returned it to me. I took it and started to read it with the siblings. There was a small pause.

“You know, Temari? Gaara's much better in this, than you are.” I determined.

“Kazekage.” She corrected me mumbling, but continued to look stupidly at the invitation.

Gaara looked up and got an amused look, when he saw the look on his sister's face. When he looked at me, I gave him a grin and decided that it was time that we let him work. Behind us were three equally stunned ninja's.

I pushed Kankuro and Temari passed them and gave Gaara a small wave. “Thank you, Gaara.” I called before I closed the door behind the three ninja's.

“And now to the village to pick the lucky ladies.” Kankuro almost hopped outside, but managed to control himself in time, with Temari and me behind him.

“How many do you want to invite?” Temari asked when she saw that her brother was back to walking normal.

“Five and I would also like it if you came along. To observe Gaara of course.” I said inviting her. She gave me a nod and went to copy the invitations.

All of a sudden Kankuro stopped in the middle of the street and twisted himself to me.

“And I? Can I come? Perhaps there I'll find the one for me.” Kankuro said with stars in his eyes.

“And that's why you can't come; the ladies must give their full attention to Gaara. That's why he's going to be the only male present.” I made it clear to him and Kankuro's stars changed to tears.

“I can't come!” He ran crying ahead. Temari had caught the last of our conversation and we both shook our heads. Then I wondered if Kankuro had fallen frequently on his head in the last three years.

“She's perfect!” Kankuro exclaimed all of a sudden, his tears entirely forgotten. I followed his finger, which was point very politely, I must say. Before the finger was a black haired beauty and I had to admit that Kankuro had a good eye for this kind of thing. We gave the first invitation to the stunned woman.

“Her eyes almost fell out of her head when she read the invitation.” Kankuro laughed while scanning the streets for the next lady.

“Her.” Kankuro determined. I followed his finger again and saw a small, voluptuous woman.

“Yeah, her.” I gave in after my short inspection. Number two drew the same look as number one when she read the invitation. We walked further until Kankuro stopped us again. Number three became a red-head, who gave the word cute its meaning.

Afterwards Kankuro discovered our two last ones together. Number four was the long legged assistant of our, number five, a scientist.
