"No problem." Naruto said, taking his own plate to the table. "Milk is fine." He answered with a smile.

Gemini was moments away from sleep when she heard the knock. Shaking herself awake, she got up and opened the door, slightly surprised to see Temari on the other side. "Hey, Temari-san. What's up?"

Yugito poured two glasses of milk before taking them to the table, placing one glass in front of Naruto's plate before sitting down in front of her's with the glass of milk in her hand.

"Sorry, I didn't realize how tired you were. I just wanted to know how the date with my brother went, but it can wait if you want," Temari said honestly. She didn't realize how tired Gemini could have been from the date and felt like an idiot for not thinking so.

Naruto thanked Yugito before digging in, as usual eating as if he'd never had a decent meal. After a moment, he slowed down, remembering his promise to Yugito to eat slower so that he wouldn't choke.

Gemini shook her head. "No, it's okay. Come in, we'll talk." She said, holding the door a bit wider open for the wind mistress. "Actually, I wanted to talk to you, too. Besides Gaara-kun, I wanted you to be the first to know that I passed my test. That's why i'm so dirty, actually. Gaara-kun took me out to eat right after I got back to the village. So, what did you want to know?"

Yugito smiled to herself as she ate, seeing Naruto making an attempt to eat at a civilized pace. Other than that, the two of them ate in relative silence.

Temari nodded as she walked inside, noticing how dirty in fact Gemini was. "First off, congrats on passing your test. And second, I just wanted to know how it went, call it an older sister's curiosity, and don't worry, I promise not to tease you...this time," she said, honestly just curious as to how the date went and any details that the vixen wanted to share.

Once finished, Naruto took the dishes to the sink and rinsed them off. "I'll wash those in the morning. I'm gonna hit the hay. 'Night, Kitty-chan."

Gemini closed the door and went to sit on her bed. "It went pretty well, actually. Gaa-kun took me to a restaurant that he liked to go to a lot, and I actually met someone who didn't hate him, which was great. We talked, and we had fun and relaxed, and we walked back together...he let me hold his hand." Gemini's face had taken on the classic look of a lovestruck teenager. "The only thing is, when we got back...he hugged me. Which is fine, but since we're boyfriend and girlfriend, I kind of expected a kiss...but I guess maybe he didn't know, or he's not ready for that yet. Oh, but please don't mention this to him, okay? I don't want him to feel bad or to think that I didn't have fun."

"Night Ruto-kun," Yugito said as she watched him head into the bedroom. Seeing the plates in the sink and what Naruto said about them, she shrugged lightly before heading towards them and turned on the water before starting to clean them. It was the least that she could do for him, especially since she was living with him.

"He took you to see Amaya-chan? I'm impressed actually," Temari said actually surprised as she saw Gemini take on the face of a teenager in love, something she saw in the mirror whenever she thought of Shikamaru. "I don't think Gaara is ready for that just yet, or thought that you didn't expect it just yet and he didn't want to embarrass you or something along those lines," Temari added.

Gemini nodded. "Of course, that's what I figured, anyway. I was just a little disappointed, but I'll live. Besides, waiting will just make it even more special when it does happen." She said, brightening up.

Naruto went into his room, fell on the bed, and was asleep before his head hit the pillow.

"Exactly, and I won't tell my brother anything about this, promise," Temari said with a light grin. A nickname, hm? Well she did promise not to tease Gem-chan this time around, but that didn't mean she wouldn't call her out on that later.

Yugito finished cleaning the plates and dried them off before putting them away. Yawning lightly, she got ready for bed. Making her way towards the couch, she got the pillow and blanket out from the place where Naruto showed her and placed them on the couch before laying down and falling asleep.

"Sorry for bothering you once again Gem-chan. Sleep well," Temari replied as she exited the room, closing the door softly and heading back to her own room.

(Timeskip to morning?)

((Sure.))

Naruto woke bright and early the next morning, rested and ready for another day of training. It never occurred to him that his recent training might be seen as obsessive.

Gemini woke early as well, and headed straight for the bathroom. She made sure to lock the door, remembering her conversation with Gaara the night before, then got in the shower. She planned on taking a good, hot shower, and then making some breakfast.

Yugito mewled out softly as she slowly woke up, not realizing how cute she looked before she got up off the couch, stretching and feeling bones and muscles realign back into place. Feeling something pop, she moaned lightly. "Ah...much better," she said softly. 'I wonder if Naruto would want a sparring partner today...' she thought.

Temari yawned as she woke up, glad that Gemini was now an actual kunoichi of Sand. 'And she loves my brother for no other reason than that she loves him,' she thought to herself as she laid in her bed, quite comfy and at the moment, having nothing to do.

Naruto got dressed and walked out just in time to see Yugito wake up. Chuckling, he walked over to her. "Good morning. You know, you're really cute when you stretch like that." He said, a smile on his face.

Once Gemini was sure that she had taken up too much hot water, she turned off the shower and got dressed. With more than a little pride, she tied her brand new forehead protector around her hips, like a belt, with the metal plate a little off to the side. With a quick glance in the mirror, she left the bathroom and headed downstairs to start breakfast.

Yugito would never admit the sound of surprise that came out of her mouth before falling to the floor, her blanket pooling around her and the blush that covered her whole face after hearing what her boyfriend said.

Temari smelled something cooking and assumed that it was her brother doing what he liked best when he wasn't on a mission. Though if anyone else was in his kitchen...she didn't want to see the bloodshed.

Naruto chuckled and walked around the couch, offering his hand to help her up. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." He said.

After some thought, Gemini had decided on bacon and eggs. She was already mostly finished, and starting to wonder if anyone was actually going to show up. She decided that if no one was there by the time she finished, she would go and wake them.

Yugito took Naruto's hand and let him pull her up. "It's alright," she responded after a while.

Gaara woke up and smelled what he figured were eggs and bacon. The only problem was that he wasn't in the kitchen. Getting up and heading to the bathroom, he took a quick shower before getting dressed and heading towards the kitchen, his hair still a little on the damp side. "Oh...I should have figured," he muttered as he saw Gemini in the kitchen, humming softly as her tail was wagging absentmindedly as he watched her finish

"Cool. I'm skipping out on breakfast today, cause I'm already late for training. I'll see you later tonight, okay?" He said, already heading for the door.

Gemini was just setting the table when Gaara arrived. She was not humming, and her tail was not wagging. "Good morning, Gaa-kun! I was wondering when someone would come down. I hope you don't mind that I made breakfast, but I did say that I would cook and clean in return for letting me stay here." She said, moving about like a busybody.

(Sorry...I just couldn't resist having Gaara watch his girlfriend do something like that)

"I almost forgot about the deal that we made and rushed down here thinking it was Kankuro or Temari that was in my sanctuary," Gaara replied as he saw both his siblings coming in as well.

"Actually...mind if I train with you?" Yugito asked. Sure she was strong enough to be a potential Chunin if she wanted to be, but she wanted to get stronger. Not just for herself, but also for Naurto.

((It's okay, just ask next time.))

Gemini chuckled. "Well, don't worry, if I ever find one of them cooking you can be sure I'll hit them over the head with the biggest pan I can find." She said cheerfully, waving at the others as they walked in.

Naruto paused, but nodded. "Sure, why not? It'll probably be good to practice against an actual person for once." He said.

"Thanks, biggest pan is in the lowest drawer to the right. Using chakra will cause any dents to smooth them out," he said.

"Probably wouldn't hurt," Yugito responded with a giggle.

"I'll remember that. Bacon and eggs for breakfast today, everyone!" Gemini said, acting unusually chipper. Of course, Kankuro was the only one who didn't know that she had passed her test, so it would be obvious to Temari and Gaara as to why she was so happy.

Naruto grinned widely. "Okay, then let's go! Oh, wait...you probably want breakfast, don't you? Hehehe sorry, I forgot 'tebayo." He said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"There any reason you so happy in the morning Gemini?" Kankuro asked as he sat down at the table along with his siblings.

"I can live one day without breakfast, though perhaps we can have a bigger lunch instead?" she asked.

Gemini beamed. "I passed my test yesterday. As of last night, I am officially a kunouichi of Sunagakure!" She announced proudly, gesturing to the forehead protector she was wearing.

Naruto hesitated again, then nodded. "Yeah..sure. I usually skip lunch, too, but we'll get something great today, just for you." He said.

"Foxy, what is it?" Yugito asked, concerned.

"Well then congrats," he said with a grin on his face, actually meaning it.

Naruto shook his head. "Nothing's wrong, I'm fine." He said, though a tad unconvincingly.

"Thanks!" Gemini replied, sitting down at the table. "Now, who wants breakfast?"
