[Alternate title= How Gaara got along with Fuu]
"Argh!" Ino gave a yell of annoyance as Choji just continued to eat his pack of chips.
"Come on Ino. You should be happy that your best friend is getting married." Shikamaru said as he just groaned.
"HAPPY?! SHE WILL MARRY BEFORE ME AND THAT WOULD MEAN THAT I LOST THE CHALLENGE. TO EVEN MAKE IT WORSE, HER GROOM WILL BE SASUKE! HUMPH! " Ino shouted as Shikamaru just scratched his ear.
"Troublesome women! I will never understand them." Shikamaru remarked in a bored voice.
"But you have me." Sai said as he suddenly appeared behind her in a cheerful manner causing Ino to yell out of fright.
"DON'T EVER COME FROM BEHIND ME, SAI!" Ino shouted as Sai merely smiled before the Kunoichi calmed down a bit.
"You are right, Sai. Its just that seeing my childhood crush and best friend hurts me a bit." Ino said as she gave sad smile.
"Huh?! Then why are you smiling?" Sai asked, confused.
"Its because... Just leave it Sai. We will talk about this later." Ino said as she gave an eye smile towards Sai, who just smiled back while Shikamaru just sighed and Choji remained oblivious of his surroundings as he continued to eat his pack of chips.
"Forgive me for interrupting the conversations of the love doves..." They suddenly heard a voice them. Turning around they saw Temari and her brothers as she continued "But what will buy for the newly wedded couple?"
"Gaara, Temari, Kankuro. Its been a long time." Choji said.
"Yeah. Our little brother here got carried away by some letter from his crushand was dancing in the office due to which we were late." Kankuro said as Gaara immediately got a tick mark.
"Kankuro! For the last time... FUU IS NOT MY CRUSH!" Gaara shouted angrily as Kankuro just smirked as Gaara quickly covered his mouth.
"Ah! So her name's Fuu." Temari just laughed.
"Gaara and Fuu un-" Kankuro sang.
"I will kill you." Gaara said with hate filled voice which Kankuro didn't pay any attention.
"-der a tree. Kissing each other." Gaara immediately blushed.
"Never thought that Gaara have that type of emotions." Ino said as she smirked.
"Well, admit it brother." Temari said in a voice filled with mischief. "You just spat out a lot of evidence and there is no way you can hide it."
Gaara sighed and said with a dreamy expression. "Its not like that I have any feelings for her but when I saw her first time after the war, I felt my heart beating faster and the next thing I knew, I was in the medical room. I just want to ruffle her green hair and her lips... they are so rosy and makes me very happy..."
"SO happy that you want to kiss her." Shikamaru said in a mischief filled yet bored voice.
"Yes.... WAIT! WHAT? NO!" Gaara shouted getting flustered.
"Come on Gaara. You should just ask her out." Temari said.
"But she will refuse me." Gaara said in a depressed voice before quickly changing the subject. "Anyways, Shikamaru. Is the meeting room ready?"
"Yes Kazekage sama." Shikamaru replied in a serious voice as the boys walked away leaving the girls behind.
"Psst. He is so flustered that he is changing the subject." Temari whispered into Ino who just snickered before suddenly getting an idea in her mind.
"Wait. I think I know how to get them together." Ino said with a smirk as Temari looked at her confused.
Poor Kakashi almost got frightened out of his life when he saw Ino and Temari smirking each other.
Evening
With Gaara
Gaara sighed as he walked into the Suna embassy in Leaf Village where he was planning to stay.
He walked to the receptionist, who suspiciously looked like someone he had seen and requested for a room.
"Sorry Kazekage sama. But there is no room available right now." The receptionist said as Gaara sighed.
"What's going on?" Gaara asked when he saw construction workers which comprised of a fat man, a man with ponytail and a woman with a long chocolate colored hair.
Seems like I have seen them somewhere. Gaara thought. But I just cannot point it out when and where?
"Well, we apologise but some days ago, the rain broke into the sand wall causing your room to flood. Sooooo..... you see why we cannot accomodate you. Now be a good boy and here is a slip for the hotel room where you will be staying with a roommate until the room is fixed." The receptionist said as she nonchalantly pushed him out of the room while the red headed man tried to protest only for the door to be closed right in front of his face.
Arrgh! I will fire her next time I see. I am the Kazekage and I shouldn't be treated like that. Gaara thought angrily before calming down.
Calm down Gaara. You are not the Gaara of the past. Now let's see the slip which that girl gave to me.
"Thank you for booking our room into Couples' hotel. Your room is ready. Please do it quietly and thanks once again." Gaara read out loudly and twitched out of annoyance.
What's with the name of the hotel? And what did it mean by "Do it quietly?" Gaara thought when he heard Shukaku's loud laughter inside his body.
"Why are you laughing?" Gaara enquired as Shukaku looked at him strangely.
"You don't know? Tch. So sad that you are so innocent. Do you really want to know?" Shukaku asked with a grin which unsettled Gaara a but.
"Yes." Gaara replied, swallowing a thick saliva out of anxiety.
"Well don't blame me later." Shukaku said as he told Gaara about the meaning.
By the time Shukaku completed, Gaara went sickly pale as Shukaku just laughed.
Inside the embassy
"So did it go well, Ino?" The man with ponytail asked the cunning receptionist. "I have some too much work today so please don't tell anyone about that embarassing moment"
"Oh! You have paid your debt. So don't worry too much about it, Shikamaru." Ino said. "Soon, he will fall into the love trap and will never be able to come out. Hehehe." Ino giggled evilly.
"Umm, just curious. What embarrassing moment are you talking about?" The bun haired girl asked.
"Oh! You don't know, Tenten?" The fat man replied in voice filled with surprise.
"Nope. Can you tell me, Choji?" Tenten asked.
"NO! DON'T DO IT! YOU PROMISED ME!" Shikamaru shouted.
"Well, Ino promised to be more precise. I don't remember promising anything to you, Shikamaru." Choji said as Ino quickly restrained Shikamaru and put her palm against his mouth to prevent him from shouting.
Flashback
1 year ago
"Good Evening Kazekage sama. How may I be of your service?" Shikamaru asked as Ino and Choji flanked him.
The trio swore that they could feel Gaara trying to suppress his KI and also that they were feeling another rush of KI behind the door.
"Shikamaru chan." Gaara said in a sweet voice. Too sweet. "Is it true that you are seeing my sister whenever she goes to Konoha?"
"Huh?!" The trio's mind went blank.
"WHAT?!" Ino shouted before holding the Nara by his collar and shaking him violently. "YOU DIDN'T TELL SUCH AN IMPORTANT THING TO YOUR TEAMMATES. WHY?!"
By then, Shikamaru went brain dead and was blabbering nonsense.
"He is brain dead." Ino's eye twitched.
"Well, tell you what? I cannot stop both of you from having relationship." Gaara said as Shikamaru suddenly jumped with his face showing great joy.
"THAT'S GREAT KAZEKAGE SAMA!" Shikamaru yelled.
"And now, he is back to life." Choji remarked.
"Yeah! Such a strange day!" Ino said.
"But you should know that I strongly frown about it." Gaara said angrily.
"Actually, its not just him." Kankuro said as he entered into room from the door. "Well, I want to gut you at this moment, but since we don't to jeopardize the realtions with Konoha, consider yourself lucky."
"We have decided that we will assign you a mission as a punishment." Gaara said. "You are supposed to escort an entourage of children and their homeroom teacher to the Village hidden in Cacti..."
"That's it? Well I will do it." Shikamaru rejoiced while sighing a breath of relief.
"...while wearing this." Gaara said as he pulled out a jumpsuit whih resembled much like the one which Lee wears all the time except that it was of even more horrendous yellow and had the pictures of chicken imprinted on it.
Shikamaru's face went pale as he gagged while his teammate laughed.
"I am curious. Who decided that punishment?" Ino asked.
"The Council of Shikatema fans of which I am the president." Gaara said as Choji whistled.
"Damn. That's amazing. You even made a council!"
"Umm, Kazakage sama. Its a bit too extreme." Shikamaru said.
"Oh! So you want to be vivisected?" Gaara said as Shikamaru's face paled.
"N-N-No."
"Good. Then be a good boy and wear this." Kankuro said as Shikamaru started blushing out of embarrassment.
Flashback ends
"Hahahahahah! So that explains why he avoided Lee for at least 3 days and still freaks out when he sees chicken on his way." Tenten laughed as she wiped a tear from her eye.
"Yeah! That's the reason." Ino said as she slapped Shikamaru's back.
"Anyways, are you really sure that your plan will be successful?" Temari asked in a doubt filled voice.
"Actually, I have the same question too." Shikamaru said while Choji just continued to eat.
"OF COURSE IT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. IF IT IS NOT THEN I WILL KILL MYSELF." Ino swore in a voice filled with determination.
"Troublesome." Shikamaru muttered before suddenly smirking.
Neji, Lee, Shino, Kiba, Temari, Naruto, Shizune san and Obito san must be having a lot of fun lying to Kezekage sama. That's what you get for insulting me, Gaara.
With Gaara
Gaara was not happy. In fact, he was fed up of going round and round the Leaf Village as he asked for the Flat's location from several people only to find that he was back in front of The Embassy.
Why do I get a feeling that I have met those people somewhere. Gaara thought, on the verge of losing his insanity.
"Oi Gaara. Are you blind or an idiot?" Shukaku asked in an amused manner. "The hotel is right in front of you."
Gaara looked up and saw that the legend was indeed true. In front of the door of the Embassy, the words 'Couples' Hotel' was written in broad daylight.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Gaara asked after he smacked his forehead.
"Because, I didn't want spoil my own entertainment." Shukaku said as he hid the truth from Gaara that Kurama asked him after Shikamaru made a deal with Naruto and Kurama.
Gaara just sighed and entered the hotel not wanting to argue unnecessarily.
"AH! GOOD EVENING KAZEKAAGE SAMA!" The blond receptionist shouted while Gaara just twitched. Again, he swore that he had seen the blond somewhere. Maybe, he was slowly growing insane, just like how he was in the past.
Before Gaara could even open his mouth, the receptionist snatched his hands and smacked it with his own, causing Gaara to yell in pain.
"HERE YA GO! HAVE A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP AND DON'T OVERDO IT WITH YAR PARTNER!" The blond shouted loudly as Gaara just became dazed, trying to figure what the hell just happened.
As Gaara left, the blond man smirked and smoke erupted in the air to reveal Naruto standing in his glory.
Gaara. This is for your good.....and also for Ichiraku Ramen. Naruto thought as he walked away.
With Gaara
"What the hell just happened?!" Gaara muttered for what was like 10 times in a day as he walked towards the door.
Room no 69! How dare they give me, the kazekage, a room carrying the number of sin. Gaara thought as he walked into the room to see a wet green haired girl wrapped in towel. He completely froze and his mind went blank. He could feel thick liquid flowing from nose.
"SORRY FUU!" Gaara shouted as he slammed the door close and he could hear the girl's screams of "PERVERT!"
At the same time, Naruto heard the screams and smirked.
Seems like they are having fun. Although I am surprised that they did it today upon meeting each other for 5 times.
Soon, the door opened to reveal a fully dressed Fuu.
"So you are my new roommate." Gaara said as he blushed.
"I never knew that the Kazekage is a pervert." Fuu said nonchalantly as Gaara felt a stone falling right on him.
"I already told you that I am sorry." Gaara said as Fuu just looked away.
"Baka." She said as she blushed.
I wonder if he really likes me.... Nah! It was just a natural reaction for the boys to get a nosebleed when they see pervy things. Fuu thought as she sighed in disappointment. Don't get your hopes too high.
"Why are you here?" Fuu asked.
"Well, the embassy is under construction due to the rain breaking into the sand walls of the embassy or something. They just gave me this ticket and here I am." Gaara said as he sat down on the sofa.
"Rain? It has not rained for 1 month." Fuu said confused.
"What?! They made a fool of me." Gaara said leaking an immense amount of killing intent.
"Ah! Calm down, Gaara. At least, you get to stay with me." Fuu said as she quickly closed her mouth with her hand upon realising what she just said.
At least, this should prove what he feels about me. Fuu thought as Gaara started blushing madly.
"Y-Y-Yeah!" Gaara stuttered as Fuu removed her hands from her mouth.
Another proof that there is a possibility he likes me. Fuu thought as Gaara just exploded and went blank.
"Gaara?! What's wrong?" Fuu asked.
No reply.
"Gaara?"
Again, no reply.
He is brain dead. Fuu thought as she sighed.
Evening
At Ino's house
"Umm, Ino." Naruto said as he just started fidgetting. "There's a little situation in the operation GaaFuu."
"HUH?!" Ino shouted as she quickly got up from the sit. "What's the situation?"
"Well, I am sure that Fuu likes Gaara but Gaara... I am not so sure about him." Naruto said as he recounted what his spy fox saw.
"Hmm, that's interesting. Well, don't worry they will be alright." Ino said as she went back to her work.
With Gaara
"Fuu, what's wrong?" Gaara asked as he saw the kunoichi getting frustrated with the utensils.
"I am trying to make Udon noodles with the help with the noodles but to no avail. I just can't seem to understand how to make it." Fuu said as Gaara smiled.
"Well, Yashamaru taught me how to make Udon. I think that I can teach you or give some tips." Gaara said as Fuu looked strangely at him.
"Huh? The Kazekage knows how to cook?" Fuu said as the red haired man let out a little chuckle.
"Yes. Actually, I also learned from Temari upon being forced to learn how to cook." Suddenly, Gaara stopped talking.
"Gaara?" Fuu asked, concerned.
"Wait a minute. I am starting to realise something." Gaara said.
Where is Temari staying? He thought before suddenly his face turned into confusion. And why the hell one of the woman who showed me wrong directions looked like Temari?
Soon, everything started making sense. And that's when he realised that everyone was actually..... f888ing him.
Shino: And that brings an end to chapter 98.
Tenten: This was quite funny that even Shay was giggling while writing this chapter.
Shino: The reason why Sasuke did not appear was because of his wedding duties.
Tenten: Shay san will write the role of Sasuke in the wedding in next chapter if he can.\
Shino: And that's it for today.... We hope that you liked the chapter and as usual keep reading and...
Tenten: PEACE OUT!!!!!!!!!
