Chapter Two

The moon was high in the sky, illuminating the night, while few stars hovered across the black canvas of sky. A small breeze picked up, ruffling the two teens hair slightly as they wandered down the empty streets of Sunagakure. The boys, having long since arrived, walked along the vacant paths, stopping at a single house which stood out from all others, as lights seeped from under the door and from behind the drawn curtains. The two paused for a second, before the red-head raised his hand to the doorknob and turned it slightly, before pushing the door in. Beckoning his blonde companion in, the boy stepped in after the other and closed the door silently behind himself with a soft click.

"Oi, where is everyone?" the blonde asked, slightly louder than necessary. A loud clang was heard from the kitchen area, followed by low mumbling before a blond head popped out from the kitchen doorway. A smile spread across the blondes face when she noticed the two boys, and she ran out to greet the two.

"About time you get here." she said affectionately. "Gaara, I told you, you should have left a little earlier; it's already twelve." Temari bent down slightly, giving the other blonde a light kiss on the forehead, then pulling back and smiling warmly. "Happy birthday, Naruto-kun."

"Thanks, Temari-chan." Naruto replied politely, smiling at the older blonde. Temari, Naruto noted, hadn't changed much from the last time he had seen her, though she had changed a lot from the Chunnin exams. The twenty year old wore her hair in two low pigtails, coming down to mid-back, her bangs had grown out and now came down slightly past her chin. Other than the dark green eyes, Naruto swore she looked almost identical to the fifth Hokage, Tsunade. The other thing that had changed was her outfit, Temari now wore a black satin Chinese blouse with bronze and red colored embroidered flower designs and low-rise black satiny Capri's. She still wore the same black ninja sandals, and her fan was still on her back, held in place by her new blood red scarf, although right now, the fan was leaning against the wall by the kitchen doorway rather than in the scarf.

Temari smiled warmly, and hurried back in the kitchen, leaving the other two in the living room. The room itself was clean and tidy, though it wasn't exactly furnished. Just a simple beige sofa in the center of the room, a slightly darker couch across. In the center was a chestnut colored coffee table, with a medium sized Go board in the middle. A small bookshelf was place on the other side of the room, in the left corner. To the right was a hallway, which Naruto knew to lead the three siblings' rooms, two bathrooms, and a guest room; in other words, his room. Kankuro's door was the first to the right, next to the guest room and across from one of the bathrooms. Temari's room was the last door to the left, across from Gaara's room, her bedroom was the biggest, and had it's own bathroom.

Shortly after Temari had stepped into the kitchen, Kankuro stepped out, grunting incoherent insults to his older sister. He stopped, glancing at his brother and Naruto, and gave a small nod of acknowledgement before motioning for Naruto to follow him. The blonde nodded, knowing what the other boy wanted, and followed Kankuro to the center of the room where he kneeled on the one side of the coffee table; Kankuro on the other.

"Hope you haven't gotten rusty, kid." Kankuro said, in his usual bored manner. The eighteen year old glanced at his brother shortly as the red-head took a seat on the couch, before turning his attention back to the board. "Alright, let's choose for color." Kankuro stated, grabbing a small handful of white stones and placing them on the board. Naruto nodded, snatching two black stones from the bowl and placing them on the board as well. `Two… four… six…eight…twelve…' Kankuro smirked. "Twelve."

"I got it. I'm black." Naruto mumbled, clearing the board. `Great, just great. He always gets white. No fair…. Stupid black.'

"Onegaishimasu." The both said in unison, grabbing the their stones from their bowls. Naruto placed his first stone down after a minute, earning him a growl from Kankuro.

"Don't take so long." Kankuro snapped, placing his stone on the board. Minutes passed, only the clicking sounds of the stones and the occasional grunt from Kankuro when Naruto made a mistake. Gaara watched them play, not entirely interested and so quickly became bored. He got up after a while, Naruto and Kankuro clearing the board and starting a new game. He walked into the small kitchen area where Temari was vigorously working. The woman glanced up when she heard someone enter, and for a moment felt nervous when she saw who it was, but then just as quickly pushed the feeling away, scolding herself, then smiling at her brother. She was slightly surprised when the boy smiled back, not quite accustomed to the new Gaara.

"Almost done?" Gaara asked with mild curiosity, taking a seat on an empty chair..

"Yeah, everything is done. Do you mind getting the others, I need to set the plates." Temari said cheerfully, walking across the small kitchen and pulling open a cabinet door. Gaara nodded, stepping out of the kitchen and pulling off his gourd, placing it by Temari's fan and Kankuro's puppet.

"The food is ready you two." Gaara said, turning around and going back into the kitchen. Seconds later, the other two entered, with a grumbling Kankuro and a smiling Naruto. Naruto punched Kankuro playfully, then sat down next to Gaara. "Aw c'mon, you're just grumpy cause I beat you." Naruto said defiantly. Kankuro rolled his eyes, muttering under his breath.

"Kankuro, shut up. Naruto, behave." Temari snapped, slapping both boys upside the head. "Now, let's eat!" and with that, everyone promptly began eating, even Gaara seemed *somewhat* excited.

Half an hour later found the four shinobi gathered around the living room, stomachs full, watching eagerly as Naruto opened his presents. He was currently working on a bright orange gift from Temari. He slowly opened the box revealing dark blue tissue paper, much to his dismay. No matter what Temari may have taught him, he was still not a very patient person. So he pushed apart the paper, unveiling…. Clothes.

"Sorry Naruto-kun, but I just can't stand that orange jumpsuit… thingy… you wear." Temari explained, pointing at his orange attire.

"S'okay," Naruto said with a shrug, smiling at Temari. "I like these, thanks Temari-chan."

Kankuro reached behind himself, snatching his own present. "Here gaki, happy birthday." He mumbled, tossing the gift. Naruto pulled off the cover quickly, glad to see no tissue paper. "It's a Go board, and you better get better by next year." Kankuro mumbled, closing his eyes lazily.

Naruto smirked slightly, before noticing the extra packages on the coffee table. "Those are from me too, just more clothes." Temari answered his unspoken question. She stood, propping her hands against the table for balance before crouching down again and placing a motherly kiss on the blondes forehead. "Happy birthday, Naruto-kun, and good night. Don't stay up too late." She said, bringing up and hand to ruffle the boys riotous hair.

Naruto scowled. "Yes `kaasan." Temari frowned at that, but shrugged it off, too tired to scold him for much of anything right now. Temari, soon followed by Kankuro, made their way down the hall to their respective rooms, leaving the fox and tanuki time to play. Naruto smirked wickedly and glanced at Gaara, who narrowed his eye suspiciously.

"So, what do you wanna do now?" Naruto asked curiously, the mischievous glint never leaving his eye.

"I thought we were going to spar." Gaara replied cautiously. The red head crossed his arms over his chest and watched the other boy in front of him with interest; whatever Naruto had planned was sure to get them in trouble. He could still remember last years little… mishap…

[{[Flashback]}]

"Naruto, what the hell are we doing here?!" Gaara snapped, a small blush tainting his pale cheeks as he glanced around his surroundings before turning back to the giggling blonde in front of him. "Naruto, if we don't get out of here now, so help me I'll---" he stopped abruptly as the boy in front of him began to perform seals to a jutsu he had come to know well. "Naruto…" he trailed of uncertainly.

"Sexy no Jutsu!" Naruto called, suddenly enveloped in a cloud of smoke. It quickly faded and there stood a very beautiful, VERY naked blonde. If Gaara hadn't seen the technique so often, there was no doubt in his mind he would be on the floor in spasms and a bloody nose. Naruto turned to Gaara and flashed him a vulpine grin, which looked weird coming from him… or her, in his Sexy no Jutsu form. "Alright Gaara, your turn."

Gaara blinked, then blinked again, before registering what the other boy had just told him to do. "What?" he asked in a deadly calm, giving Naruto his best glare that even Gaara himself would cower to if he had looked in a mirror. Lucky him, he had no mirror.

Naruto didn't even bat an eye, `she' just looked at him calmly and said: "Hurry up before someone comes." As if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Gaara could feel his left eye twitching, and it was picking up speed. "What?"

Naruto sighed dramatically, glancing down the empty hallway quickly before turning back to Gaara. He/she smirked. "I'll give you a cookie." He/she said, stressing the word cookie as if he/she were talking to a child.

Gaara blinked, before smiling. "Chocolate chip?!" he asked eagerly, then realized what he said and slapped his forehead. "Fucking Uzamaki, fine!" he growled, doing the hand seals that had been taught to him by his blonde friend. He disappeared in a puff of smoke, and when it cleared the female Gaara stood there, in all his/her naked glory. He, or she, had pale skin but other than that, had the same figure as Naruto. His/her face however, was different. It was much more feminine, with emerald eyes, still rimmed in kohl. His/her crimson hair was in a high ponytail rather than pigtails, like Naruto's form. His/her bangs were slightly longer, concealing his/her tattoo, and, actually had eyebrows.

"Alright! Let's go!" Naruto chirped, grabbing Gaara's hand and dragging him/her off down the hall. They stopped in front polished, mahogany door, steam emitting from under it. Naruto wasted no time in pushing open the door, surprising the people in the room.

Naruto almost drooled at the sight before him/her… err… her, it was better than his/her ninja harem, and had it not been for Gaara dragging him/her off to the showers, he/she would have passed out right then and their. One of the women came up to them, a worried expression on her face.

"Oh, is she okay." The woman asked, staring at Naruto. Gaara shoved Naruto into the stall and turned on the cold water to wash away the bloody nose and bring him/her back to her senses, then turned to the woman and nodded.

"H-She can't really stand being in high temperatures for too long." Gaara replied, trying his/her best not to sound to cold and scare of the woman; that and also try to keep from look at other woman's' breasts.

The woman nodded in understanding but frowned. "Then what's she doing in here?"

"Stubborn." Gaara responded quickly, and he/she wasn't lying either. The woman nodded and then turned to leave, heading back to the sauna. Gaara took this chance to punch Naruto good and hard. Naruto quickly snapped back, glaring daggers at Gaara.

"Damn, what was that for?!" he/she snapped.

Gaara rolled his/her eyes. "If you can't even last a minute without drooling yourself into a flood, then don't waist your time bothering, more importantly, don't waist MY time, pervert." Gaara scolded.

Naruto smiled sheepishly, stepping out of the stall. "Ano, I can't help it, they're hot!"

Gaara rolled his/her eyes and began to walk away towards the private baths as his/her perverted friend made a mad dash for the sauna in which the woman from earlier had left for. Now Naruto, being the clumsy fool as always, wasn't watching where he/she was going. Thus ended slipping on the wet floor and caused him/her to skid a few feet, then took a few staggering steps back only to step into a bucket of ice-cold water. Naruto yelped in shock, and fell flat on his/her ass. Grumbling, the blonde pulled off the bucket from his/her foot and tossed it over his/her shoulder, pouting. The bucket went soaring and coincidentally hitting Gaara on the back of his/her head, causing him/her to lose balance and trip over the edge of a sauna. The red-head fell face first into the sauna, expecting to fall into the seemingly boiling water, he/she was surprised when he/she fell into something rather soft. It took him a minute to realize he/she had fallen onto someone's lap. Gaara pulled his/her head up from between the naked legs, blushing slightly, he/she glanced up only to look into the face of the woman he/she had meant only moments before.

"G-gomen…" he stuttered, and was about to say more before a loud poof sound and smoke erupted, engulfing him…

[{[End Flashback]}]

The last thing he remembered after that was arriving home with several bruises, his ears still ringing from the women's screeching. Gaara glanced ahead at Naruto, realizing they had left the house and he was currently following the blonde. Then suddenly, Naruto turned around, opening his mouth to say something when he noticed the look on Gaara's face and grinned.

"Don't worry, nothing like that. We can spar instead if you really want to." Naruto said, the mischievous glint in his eyes replaced with amusement.

Gaara grunted his agreement. "Yeah, that might be safer." He muttered, though Naruto heard him and it caused the blonde to laugh lightly.

Naruto wrapped his arm around Gaara's shoulder, now only half an inch shorter than the other boy, and smirked. "You still haven't forgotten about that, have you?" it was a rhetorical question, Gaara knew, so he simply shoved the other boy aside, sending him a death glare. Naruto smirked, raising his arms up defensively. They continued walking the rest of the way to their usual training grounds in a comfortable silence. Passing few people, for everyone else was most likely asleep or simply lounging around indoors, they finally arrived. It was a sandy clearing, sand dunes surrounding them and forming a non-existent circle. The center was clear, save for few lingering rocks, but other than that it was evidently just a barren waste land caused by the many times Naruto and Gaara had sparred against each other.

Naruto jumped to the opposite side of the clearing, separating his legs at a shoulder's width, and crouched done into his basic taijutsu stance. "Alright Gaara, no gourd, got it?!" the blonde shouted.

Gaara groaned. "You moron, I didn't even bring it." Naruto laughed nervously, but quickly shut up when Gaara summoned his sand clones. Naruto followed suit, summoning his own Kage Bunshin, and almost immediately charged Gaara, chakra encircling his fist for extra power. Gaara quickly dodged, then just as quickly used his momentum to send a kick straight into Naruto's side, adding a little chakra for boost. He wasn't worried about hurting the blonde, he knew the Kyuubi wouldn't very well let him kill its host. Naruto flew to the side, almost colliding with a rock, then thrusting his feet forward and kicking off it, lunging himself back at Gaara, kunai in hand. Gaara saw him coming and jumped to the side, narrowly missing the blonde's attack, but not before Naruto manage to cut him with his kunai. The fabric of his black shirt was ripped, but no further damage was done…

[([Naruto's mind])]

Kyuubi watched her vessel fight through the boys eyes, and growled slightly at how weak he was. The dark orange fox began to pace in its cage, growling every now and then before a low snicker made itself know to it. Growling again and narrowing its blood red eyes, it spoke: "May I ask how it is that you managed to not only enter my vessels mind but trespass in my home?"

A figure stepped out the shadows, its face concealed in the darkness apart from its mouth.

"Home? It looks more like a prison to me." The stranger, obviously male, replied. The Kyuubi growled, submerging in its own red chakra. The stranger waited patiently, a satisfied smirk on his lips. At last the chakra was absorbed back into the Kyuubi, though it was no longer a fox that stood before the intruder, it was instead a woman. `So the almighty Kyuubi is a woman, eh?' The woman before him was about a head smaller than him, with dark orange hair with the occasional black streak, flowing down slightly past her waist. The thing that most identified her as the Kyuubi though, was her eyes. Blood red eyes with a murderous glow. She had whisker marking, slightly darker than that of her host, and wore a long black satin dress.

"Do not forget who I am, Shukaku, know your place… priest." Kyuubi spat, narrowing her eyes dangerously.

"Now, now Kyuubi-chan, is that any way to treat your guest. You really should learn some manners, my dear." Shukaku said, smirk widening slightly and eyes narrowing. Kyuubi growled, whipping her hand in front of her, a huge wave of red chakra charging towards the sand priest. "Really, Kyuubi-chan, you shouldn't let your anger control you." Shukaku's voice came from behind her. She gritted her teeth, which were sharper than most, and turned around, scowling at the priest who stood far too close for her liking; no one should be able to get that close to her with her knowing, especially in her own… home.

"You fucking bastard, how the hell did you get in here?!" she snapped, clenching her fist tight enough to almost draw blood. "Answer me!"

Shukaku grinned nefariously. "That's my secret, fox." He said, then, much to the Kyuubi's surprise, leaned down, stealing a quick kiss before pulling away from the dumbfounded demon. "Ja ne." and with that, the sand priest disappeared, fazing out from sight, leaving a bewildered and blushing Kyuubi behind. `What the hell…'
