Yugito nodded before started to form her own Rasengan, making it exactly the same as Naruto did a few moments ago. "Ready?" she asked once she had the jutsu ready.

"Y-yeah, let's go inside," he said as he tried hiding his blush.

Gathering the right amount of chakra in his tail, Naruto gave Yugito a thumbs up. "Ready!" He said.

Gemini nodded and knocked on the door as she walked in. "Hello? It's Gemini! I hope you don't mind, I brought someone with me."

Yugito nodded as she threw her Rasengan, waiting for Naruto to hit it into the air, hoping that it worked.

Artunia heard Gemini and opened the door, seeing both the vixen and the youngest son of the former Kazekage. "No, no come in, both of you" she replied.

Naruto waited until the Rasengan got close enough, then swung around, using his tail to hit it, sending it flying into the sky. He held his breath, waiting to see if it did what it was supposed to.

Gemini smiled. "Thanks! I hope we're not late. We just finished dinner."

Yugito watched the Rasengan soar into the air before breaking apart, hitting each of the targets once again.

"You aren't late at all. Shirou-kun and I were just closing up for the night," Artunia responded.

Naruto cheered again, this time punching the air as his tail wagged crazily. "YES!! It works it works it works! Now we've got an awesome new Jutsu that's just ours, and we can use it to surprise people in battle and win, dattebayo!!"

Gemini nodded. "Oh, good, I'm glad. Um, I should introduce you...this is my boyfriend, Gaara-kun. Gaa-kun, this is Artunia. She and her husband will be teaching us tonight."

Yugito giggled lightly at the cute scene her boyfriend was making. "Y-yeah, a jutsu of our own," she said mirroring her boyfriend's words after getting her giggling under control.

Gaara bowed lightly to Artunia. "Thank you Artunia-sensei," he said lightly.

"This deserves a celebration! Let's get lunch, anywhere you want, I'm paying." Naruto said happily.

Gemini smiled. Gaara was already so different compared to when she'd met him, and it had only been a couple of months. "So, Sensei, what are we going to learn first?"

"How about that sushi bar then?" Yugito asked, laughing lightly. She did agree that it would be a perfect way to end the creating of a new ninjutsu, especially one as powerful as the one they created...though for some reason she had a feeling it was...incomplete somehow. Putting that thought to the backburner for now, she grinned happily.

"You don't have to bow to me Gaara-san. My husband and I both admire your courage and dedication for holding the raccoon at bay. But to answer your lesson young vixen, first my husband and I want to see where you two are when it comes to kenjutsu," Artunia replied. She was, however, grateful for the gesture by the youngest son of the Kazekage, knowing that it meant she had earned his respect...something that wouldn't have happened before.

"I will save you the trouble and tell you I know nothing when it comes to the sword, but I want to incorporate a sword style in conjucture with my sand, seeing as how I can already make shuriken and kunai with it," Gaara explained.

Naruto nodded. "Sure! Let's go now, I'm starving!" He said.

Gemini smiled brightly at how well Gaara was getting along, and at the respect shown by both parties. Once Gaara had finished talking, she raised her hand as if she was in school. "I'm pretty skilled with my katana, since I use it in battle. I can also use other blades, but my best is my katana." She said.

"Alright then, once we get home, why don't you show me what you got?" Artunia asked as Shirou came out of the photoshop, locking the store up for the night.

Yugito laughed before leading Naruto towards the sushi shop, the best place in Konoha for food, no matter what Naruto said about ramen.

Gemini grinned. "You got it!" She said happily.

Naruto followed happily. Though sushi wasn't his favorite, he had to admit that the place they were going was okay.

Shirou and Artunia led Gemini and Gaara a little out of the village. When they had moved here, they had requested a place on the outskirts so that they could practice their swordfighting in secret. Especially since Shirou had a secret of his own...his swords weren't manmade like his wife's were; his were chakra constructs, so dense that they just looked like swords.

(Borrowing from Fate/Stay Night again for that, sorry if that bothers you. Shirou's special ability is to use his "Prana" (inner energy) in order to create weapons. He usually uses swords.)

Yugito stopped in front of the sushi shop and waited for Naruto. Seeing her boyfriend appear shortly after she stopped, she gave a light grin and thanked him, knowing quite well he didn't like sushi as much as she did.

Gemini followed happily, curious about where exactly they were going. She held on to Gaara's hand the whole time.

Naruto shrugged. "I said anything you wanted, and I meant it. I'll be fine eating just about anything, anyway." He said.

"We're taking you to our home that's just on the outskirts of the village. We usually train in the desert nearby," Shirou explained as they soon arrived at there home. It wasn't much, but it was enough for the two of them.

"Thanks Foxy-kun," Yugito said before giving him a light kiss on the cheek before heading into the restaurant.

Gemini nodded. When they arrived, she smiled widely. "Your home is beautiful." She said honestly. It was the kind of place she had always wished she could live in as a child.

Naruto blushed slightly and followed Yugito into the restaurant.

"Thank you, Gemini-san" Shirou said as they entered the home. "Now then, we're going to split the two of you up. Artie-chan will take you on Gemini-san and see where you're at with your sword. I'll take Gaara-kun and show him the ropes," he added, ignoring the glare from his wife as he called her by the pet name he gave her.

"Welc--Oh, Yugito-chan, you're back, and you brought your boyfriend as well," An elderly woman said with a light grin on her face as she saw the two come inside.

Gemini nodded. "That's okay with me." She said agreeably.

Naruto blushed but smiled, happy to be recognized as Yugito's boyfriend.

"I would greatly appreciate it," Gaara said to Shirou, grateful for his help.

Yugito blushed lightly but didn't deny it.

Gemini faced Artunia. "Alright, what would you like me to do first?" She asked.

Naruto nudged Yugito slightly, indicating that one of them should say something.

"First, I'd like to spar with you, one on one, just to see where you are. After that, I'll determine where to go from there, alright?" she asked.

"Oh, um...can I have the usual please?" Yugito asked, since she came here a lot and ordered what she usually did, the neko hoped the old lady knew what she meant.

Gemini nodded. "That sounds good to me." She said, taking out her beloved katana. She shifted into a fighting stance, and smiled. "Please don't go too easy on me. I want to really be able to show you my very best."

Naruto stayed quiet, feeling awkward, until he realized that he needed to order, too. "Oh, uh...I'll have the same thing as Yugito-chan." He said, since he didn't really know what else he'd want.

"Of course not. How can I get an ample test of your ability if I went easy on you?" Artunia asked as she shifted into her own stance.

"Alright then, two plates of regular sushi coming right up," the old lady said before heading to the back of the restaurant.

Gemini nodded again. "Good, thank you." She said. Then, taking the initiative, she charged forward at an almost inhuman speed, swinging her blade for an upward slash.

"So I guess you come here a lot, huh?" Naruto asked with a smile. He had kind of figured that it would be a frequent place for her, just like Ichiraku's was for him.

Artunia blocked the first swipe before countering, noticing how fast Gemini was with the blade. She then brought her blade up as she tried to attack again but failed as metal hit metal.

"I do," Yugito replied with a light grin. "The people here running this are just as nice as the people running your ramen stand," she added.
