"Um...am I interrupting something here?" Yugito asked as she came into the room, making sure that the towel wrapped around her body was secure. Once she had finished with her shower, she had called out to Naruto and informed him that she was finished, but got no response. Not wanting to put her clothes back on, she wrapped and knotted the towel so that it wouldn't come off before going out to investigate.

Naruto looked up, surprised to hear Yugito's voice, and blushed brightly to see her in only a towel. "Uh...n-no, nothing serious..." He said.

Gemini looked up from her compromised position. "Oh, no, just a little sibling rivalry." She said, before flipping Naruto onto his back and summoning a fox to sit on him. "I win. Never let your guard down, fox face." She got up and headed for the bathroom. "I'm going to take my shower. Everyone better still be alive when I get back!"

Naruto scowled as he was let go. "She always wins, dattebayo. Uh, Yugito-chan, I can lend you some clothes if you need them..."

"Y-yeah, clothes would be nice," Yugito responded. "But doesn't that mean you have to unsummon Gemini-san's fox? she asked, wondering how he would do that. She also had a mental sweat drop as to what Gemini said, but didn't say anything about it, having a feeling it had something to do with Gemini's male friend. After hearing Gemini say that it was just sibling rivalry, she then understood just why Gemini had made the bet that she had...she was looking out for her 'brother' 'well then...I can't let her down.'

Naruto sweatdropped. "Oh...yeah. Hehe...um, Kori-san? Would you mind?" He asked the fox, who gave a chuckle and poofed away. The blonde stood up and dusted himself off, then went to his room and got a clean pair of boxers, sweatpants and a t-shirt, then brought them back. "That's all I've got right now, dattebayo." He said, handing her the clothes.

Yugito giggled lightly at Naruto's antics, coughing lightly when the smoke of the summon got to her. "That isn't fair...You and Gemini-san can summon foxes yet I can't summon cats," Yugito said with a slight pout, taking the clothes once Naruto handed them to her, thanking him for the clothes. Going into what she assumed was the kitchen, she quickly undid the knot holding her towel up and getting dressed.

Naruto shrugged. "I can't summon anything. I just know all of Gemini-chan's foxes." He confided, going back to sit on the couch. As soon as Yugito left the room, the blonde turned to face Gaara. "Okay, listen up, 'cause I'm only gonna say this once. Gemini-chan is not just a friend, she's like my sister, and I'll always look out for her. If you ever hurt her, in any way, even a little bit, I'll come after you and you'll wish you were never born. Got it?"

"I have no idea as to what you are insinuating Naruto, but to ease your worries, I won't harm her...not intentionally anyways," he replied. He had an idea of what was going on from observing others, but he was unsure as to why Naruto was giving it to him now.

Naruto's eyes narrowed, not fully trusting the redhead, but unable to prove that he was lying. "Fine, if that's the best you can do. Just watch yourself." He said, crossing his arms.

Right at that moment, Gemini walked out wearing a sports bra and boxers. "Watch himself for what?" She asked, startling the blonde.

"It's nothing, Gemini-chan. Just talking."

"Right...Gaara-san, you can use the shower now if you want." Gemini said, not seeming to care that she was barely clothed.

Gaara nodded, not realizing the significance of Gemini pretty much naked in front of him. Sure his body reacted, but his mind had not before heading towards the shower, thanking her in the process for letting him know.

Yugito chose that time to enter the main room as well, dressed in the clothes that Naruto had given her.

Gemini went to sit back on the couch, looking slightly disappointed that the InuYasha movie had ended. Sighing, she flipped through the channels. "Hey Naruto-kun, you need to get taller. The fact that your clothes fir Yugito-chan so well is kinda sad." She teased.

Naruto glared at Gemini. "I'm not that short! And I'll get taller, just you wait. Right, Kitty-chan? You think I'll get taller, right?" He asked, turning to the blonde kunoichi.

Yugito hated to side with Gemini when it came to Naruto, but she had to agree. She would have thought his clothes would have been much bigger for than she thought they were. "Sorry Foxy-kun, but for once I have to agree with your sister. You'll probably get a growth spurt if you didn't eat so much ramen though," she thought aloud.

Gemini punched the air and laughed. "HA!! I told you, Naruto-kun! And she agrees with me about the ramen, too!" She said triumphantly.

Naruto's jaw dropped. Giant anime tears rolled down his cheeks. "Unbelievable! I can't believe you guys are ganging up on me, dattebayo! I'll never give up my ramen, never! And I'll prove you all wrong! I'll get taller, just watch, dattebayo!!"

Yugito giggled at Naruto's actions. "You don't have to give ramen up completely Naruto-kun, just limit yourself to it," she explained. "I may like sushi, but that's not the only thing I eat," she said as she listed off other foods that she liked to eat.

Gemini nodded. "Yeah. And I can't live without meat, but I eat other things, too. Like carrots and apples, and cake!" She added the last enthusiastically.

Naruto rolled his eyes. "You and your cake. You're worse than me sometimes, dattebayo. But, point taken. I'll try to eat other things besides ramen." He conceded.

"That's all we ask for Foxy-kun," Yugito replied.

A white-haired male stopped and looked at the walls of his hometown once more, sighing lightly. "It's been a while since I've come home, hasn't it?" he muttered lightly before waving nonchalantly to the gate guards. Grinning once he was easily able to go pass the gates, he made his way towards the Hokage Tower. Usually he would do some research for his books, but his sensei had said that he had something serious for Jiraiya to look at.

Naruto sighed and sat down. "Gemini-chan, what's taking your boyfriend so long? I still need to take a shower." He complained.

Gemini blushed and whacked Naruto. "Like I would know! And Gaara-san is not my boyfriend!" She said.

"Sorry, I took a longer shower than I usually do," Gaara responded as he came back into the room, a sheepish look on his face. The water was actually nice, especially since there was no timer on it like back home in Suna...

Gemini hopped up off the couch. "No problem, Gaara-san. Let's head out so I can show you around." She said happily.

"Yeah, no problem. Yugito-chan, you don't mind hanging out while I take a quick shower, do you?" He asked.

Gaara nodded as he followed her out of the apartment.

"I'll live," Yugito replied.

Naruto grinned. "Okay, be back in a couple minutes!" He said, running off to the bathroom.

Gemini led Gaara out into the streets and started heading towards her favorite sweets shop. "I'm pretty hungry, so we'll go get some food first, okay?"

Yugito made herself comfortable while waiting for Naruto, idly switching through channels, looking for something to pass the time with.

"Food sounds like a good idea," Gaara nodded in agreement.

"Hey sensei, long time no see. How's it going?" Jiraiya asked with that goofy grin on his face as he sat on the window that faced towards the Hokage Mountain. If he were anyone else that tried to do this, the Gama Sannin knew that the ANBU hidden within the office would have their weapons pointed at lethal parts of his body.

Gemini grinned and led him to, of all things, a bakery. Walking inside, she smiled at the little bell that chimed as the door opened, and inhaled deeply. "Ooh, they're making fresh cookies today! This place has the best baked goods anywhere. Anything you can think of, they've got it." She said to Gaara, her eyes sparkling.

Naruto made his shower quick, only a few minutes. Once he was dressed, he walked back to the living room where Yugito was waiting. "All set. Now I can take you out for ramen!" He exclaimed happily.

Gaara looked at her curiously, wondering if that claim of hers was true or not. "Really now? Then this I have to see," he said with a soft smirk on his face. He had a feeling it couldn't be as good as the baked goods of his home, but that was something he was about willing to see.

Yugito turned the TV off when she heard the water go off, a few seconds later Naruto appearing in some clothes that weren't as bad as that jumpsuit he wore. 'That's the first thing that has to go...' she thought to herself, knowing that Matatabi would agree with her completely if she could hear her.

Gemini faked a gasp. "You don't believe me? Well then I shall prove it!" She said dramatically, and dragged him to the counter. "Anna-chan! It's been too long!" She greeted the girl behind the counter. "Oh, Gemini-chan! It's been over a week- I was worried you'd forgotten us!" The girl joked. "Never, Anna-chan! Anyway, my friend here doesn't believe me that you have the best of everything, so we have to prove it. Do you happen to have those famous chocolate chip cookies handy?" "Why yes, as a matter of fact, we do! Fresh out of the oven, too. Here- first try is free." Anna handed Gaara a warm, melty chocolate chip cookie with a smile. Gemini watched with anticipation.

Naruto led Yugito to his favorite place in the whole village: Ichiraku Ramen. "Order whatever you want, I'm paying." He said, taking his favorite stool at the counter.

((Can't...focus...on...Naruto's lines...))

(XD XD)

Gaara took the offered cookie into his hand before taking a bite of it. He had to admit that it was pretty good, almost as good as the ones he got from the Bakery he went into back at home, one of the few places that was private enough as to where he could actually be his true self instead of pretending to be a cruel and heartless bastard. True he did have some of that anger within him, but not that much as his mask did. "It's good, I'll admit, but..." he started to say.

Ayame nudged her father before pointing at Naruto and the blonde-haired girl that he brought in with him, wondering just who it was exactly that had caught Naruto's attention, especially since it wasn't that pink-haired harpy that only had eyes for the Last Uchiha, or as she silently referred to him as, The Emo Prince of Konoha.
