He tired them with some vine cord through the gills and killing them with strikes from his kunai, he hauled the fish, along with the wild chicken eggs and herbs he had gathered earlier and was now on their way to the camp….Temari was currently taking a cool shower a good distance away from their camp at the moment. They had a relaxing time with some light food for their early breakfast….after they had a very hot and heavy early morning love session and both he and Temari enjoyed that immensely and now they were feeling much more relaxed for the day.
As he began to cook the eggs in a small pile of hot coals and frying the fish, the Kyuubi decided to speak to him.
(("So kit….enjoy last night?"))
That's a rather odd question you know Kyuubi….)
(("True….but hey, you can't blame me for asking….so tell me….how was it?"))
(It was….amazing.)
(("I'll bet….I was recording the whole thing you know….you did pretty good that night….despite the fact you were not THAT good, maybe you really should read that perverted book again so next time you can really make that blonde lady scream out your name…."))
(You recorded all that?!)
(("Of course kit….it's downright boring in here in your brain when there's no enemies for you and to fight you and even five seconds without a fight is pretty boring….why else do you think I do everything to fight with you? Don't worry….you can always drop by and have a replay of it…."))
(You perverted fox…)
(("So says the boy who's got the ninja world's greatest pervert as a sensei…."))
(Point taken…)
(("Oh yeah, I took the liberty of neutralizing your seed for the time being….having kids at the moment isn't exactly a good idea….besides…you'd have a hell of a time explaining yourself if she mysteriously became pregnant and as much as I would enjoy the sight of you playing dad and changing diapers at night….I don't think you're all that ready for fatherhood just yet."))
(Thanks…I think…)
(("Don't mention it."))
As the blonde cooked the food, Temari came back, dried and wrapped in a towel that they had salvaged and the blonde Jonin sat down next to her boy-friend and they ate their food for today, with both of them smiling at one another at the moment, taking in the calm atmosphere. The two then sparred with one another as Naruto used his Kage Bushin to survey the land and see if there was any sign of a ship in the area for him to have the Kage Bushin light any of the strategically positioned signal fires to get the attention of any passing by ships.
As they sparred with one another, with Temari using her fan to block Naruto's serious attacks, and defend herself from his tricks and tactics, Naruto worked on finding a way of bypassing Temari's defense at the moment and they were having a ball in the valley that they reserved for their training at the moment.
As they continued their training….Naruto's small band of Kage Bushin kept an eye all around the island and it was then that one of them spotted a pair of boats and the boats had both the symbol of Konoha and Suna as well….the Kage Bushin quickly lit the signal fire and watched the ships and as soon as the Kage Bushin spotted the ships turn towards the island, that was the signal it was looking for and it then poofed away.
Temari stopped when she saw the fire and so did Naruto and he smiled as he told her what the Kage Bushin had seen earlier when it lit the fires and both of them were happy and with their hands together, they ran all the way to the beach and they spotted the boats and the ships came ever closer and both Naruto and Temari waved….and behind their backs….their hands reached out for one another and intertwined with one another.
Epilogue…
Naruto rushed out and got the bags he had that carried a large number of books and manuals that he had to deliver to the Academy pronto for the late afternoon and while he didn't like the idea of being the delivery boy for this day….he was happy as this would give him the time to be with his girl-friend.
He thought back on how things had changed….at least when it concerned his relationship with the Sand Siblings. When Temari got back to Konoha she asked the Hokage permission to take only Naruto with her on her return trip home…making Tsunade raise her eye-brows at the request as she knew that despite her love of peace, Temari could handle herself just fine without an escort. But she agreed and they both went to Suna…
Along the way….they would chat and she said that she would tell her brothers about their little liaison on the island….to which Naruto was shocked at the moment. He had a big fear that the moment Gaara and Kankurou found out about him…taking their sister's virginity….they would hit the roof. He tried to reason with her and saying that it would be foolish to do it now….until she reminded him of Gaara's still exceptional senses and he would no doubt see the situation brewing between them and would not be entirely happy unless the truth was told to him, as well as Kankurou.
Naruto had a feeling he was going to regret this…
At first….Kankurou was ballistic at the news and walked over to Naruto and was shouting curses for his actions….showing that he cared a great deal for his family, but Temari calmed Kankurou down and told him that it was consensual and Naruto had actually tried to talk her out of it…making Kankurou a bit shocked at that as he had thought Naruto had forced the situation on Temari, an despite seeing the truth, the middle brother of Temari and Gaara was still somewhat shocked that Temari wanted this to happen.
The Kazekage, Gaara however smiled warmly at that and gave his approval of the relationship between Temari and Naruto. And he had his own reasons, Naruto had done a great deal for him and his family, he had the love of the village when he returned after being resurrected by the late Chiyo, and he learned that it was Naruto who served as the anchor for him to come back to the world of the living and that made their friendship a lot stronger as well, Naruto had freed him from hell and gave him a new, more unique chance at life and there was nothing in his mind that could replace that. Besides, he wouldn't mind Naruto being Temari's boyfriend at all….he was a good man and had the strength needed to be a great Hokage himself one day. And he could see that there was true affection between the two of them, and he wanted his family to be happy as well.
He was already being courted by his former student Matsuri who had grown much for the past years and there was affection between the two of them as well. She was his only student but she learned much from him and became someone he cared for and trusted as much as his family. And he would be more than happy to settle down and maybe someday he and Naruto would meet as leaders of their villages and he would meet his own nephews and nieces.
Kankurou finally relented but warned Naruto not too be too rough on Temari….because if he found out that there was issues between them….then he would show up and take care of the matter. Both of them smiled and promised….they had gotten closer and while they would have the usual scraps present in a relationship….the two had doubts they could work it out.
Which was why Naruto was here in the situation he was in….the books were meant for Temari as she was in the Academy and was absorbing as much information as she could on how to improve the Genin Academy lessons and practices back in Suna and also to get more details of past Chuunin Exams to make things easier for the next Exams which would soon be held in Suna itself. As he entered the Academy and was directed by Iruka to the room Temari was in….the blonde had no idea that Iruka was smiling at his retreating back.
Iruka was one of the VERY few in Konoha that knew of the relationship between his adopted little brother and the wind mistress of the Sand and he didn't mind it as he could tell that Naruto was happy with it and anything that made Naruto happy was all right with him.
Naruto entered the library and placed down the bag and wondered just where Temari was at the moment as he didn't see her. He got his answer when he heard several loud clicks, telling him that the door behind him was locked from behind him and then a gentle wind hit him on the back and he knew that the only one who could do that with a gentle wind was his girl-friend Temari.
He turned around and to his surprise….Temari had her fan with her…fully opened and covering her body at the moment…and he was somewhat confused at this and Temari smirked as she approached Naruto slowly and Naruto was speechless.
Temari smiled and slowly began to close her fan….slowly as well, making Naruto VERY anxious at the moment as to what sort of game was Temari playing with him this time…she liked playing games with the blonde Genin and Jinchuuriki and he didn't mind them…
Temari began to close her fan and as she got closer to Naruto….the fan moved aside to reveal that Temari was dressed in one of the most trusted suits a person would wear when in private. Their birthday suit…and Temari was certainly hot….Naruto relished the sight of his naked girl-friend before him at the moment as she placed down her fan and held him close…allowing to run his hands on her well formed and sexy body.
"You like?"
"Oh definitely….though I was surprised about this…"
"I had a lot of stress and a slight headache and what better way to relieve the stress, than going something pleasurable? And I heard that making love with someone you love is the best way to relieve a headache….care to try and see if it is truth or fiction Naruto-chan?" (+)
Naruto thought it over and replied…
"All right…"
The Kyuubi was enjoying this immensely as it howled and continued to record the whole thing…
To be continued…
(+) Personally I don't know if this is true or not, but you DO get endorphins doing the deed with someone you love or partnered with…so there might be some truth to that…and it was referenced in an edition of Reader's Digest, though what was the edition's title I have no idea.
Author's notes:
Ah….done, and sorry for the delays….had a lot of things to do with going back to school and taking education units to be a teacher, so free time is getting kind of scarce…plus it being Christmas and all.
Anyway…here it is.
That wraps up this one and you can see at this stage we're back with the pairing of Naruto with one woman, this will allow me to create new relationships and also allow me to come up with very compatible relationships when I decide to do the pairing of Naruto with more than one woman. I've already done one combination and this allows me to relax and get back into more familiar territory so to speak.
As you can see….this plays on the fact that Temari has something of a feeling of gratitude to Naruto changing her brother Gaara and allowing her and Kankurou to be a family to him though she knows for a fact that Gaara and Naruto are more like close knit family than she or Kankurou are to Gaara as both Gaara and Naruto suffer the same fate….the only difference is that Naruto has changed for the better and in the end….saved Gaara.
And in the story….she gets to see him in a far more personal setting and sees how he has grown into the person who saved Gaara from his dark hell and she gets to see how much he has grown….in more ways than one. Now I know that this pairing is not going to be attractive to any Shikamaru X Temari fans but keep in mind this IS a fanfiction story after all….it's up to the creator of the original Naruto series to decide just who Temari shows affection for.
In this case….the gratitude is turned into affection and love as Temari observed and got to know Naruto better as he finally opened up about his past and as you might have guessed, Gaara is very supportive of Temari and Naruto's relationship, and while Kankurou is not entirely happy with the whole thing, he is agreeing with the idea for now.
I hope that the story is all right and if you feel that improvements can be made….send me the email with your suggestions and ideas….keep in mind however that flames are not allowed and I have my own ideas so make sure that your ideas are presented well so I can see if I can incorporate them into the other chapters of this series.
