“They have been killed, correct?” A man inquired the twin masked ninja’s in front of him. Their dark eyes flashed in the dim room.

“Of course.” They both replied in unison. A silence stretched between them and the man in the shadows took a step forward, an obvious quiver of fear tracing through the nin before him.

“You failed to bring him back I see.” Came the second statement from figure in shadows, a frown twitching at the corner of his lips.

“Sabaku no Gaara was with him. We would not have been able to get close.” One said in defense of their incompetence. Their leader glared at them.

“Gaara of the desert.” The name rolled off of his lips in a hiss, then; “I want the Hokage taken, He must be alive.” They went to turn and do as they were bidden when their leader spoke again, halting their actions.

“If he’s harmed in anyway, I will kill you.” They disappeared swiftly followed by a few more rogue ninjas. The eyes burned before the ninja in the shadows turned away.

“We need to leave.” A voice whispered, a tentative kiss started at the side of his throat, a gentle, feather like caress to his face pulling him from deep slumber. Naruto’s eyes slid open as the lips descending on his own slowly. The Hokage snaked his hands around Gaara’s neck and pulled him down much to the Kazekage’s surprise who practically fell on top of the other man.

“Are we going to be late?” Naruto asked breaking the kiss noticing that Gaara had already dressed. The body pressed down on his, the redheads face was millimeters from his own. Naruto met his next kiss as Gaara pulled him upward, their lips slowly parting again.

“Yes.” Was his short answer. The Hokage’s eyes went wide in shock before he flew from the bed throwing apart the covers. He almost knocked Gaara over in his haste.

“If we’re late don’t you think they’ll suspect something?!” He roared in annoyance as he tugged a few things from a bag, including a t-shirt mesh, a tank top, boxer shorts, loose black baggy pants cut off at the ankle, and within seconds his Hokage robe was thrown on, his fingers swiftly tying a strip of red cloth around his waist.

“What would they suspect?” Gaara finally asked, slightly annoyed that Naruto had gotten dressed so quickly. Naruto glanced at him giving the wrap around his waist one more tug.

“What do you think? We’ve been alone for the past night and a half. I’m sure someone’s gone looking for us.” Naruto replied distractedly before running to the bathroom and taking some cold water to rub his face down with.

“Someone had.” Gaara replied unperturbed. Naruto poked his head out of the bathroom, his face flushing from embarrassment.

“What?!” He asked his face wet from the water. He hastily dried his skin waiting expectedly for the redheaded, impassive Kazekage’s to reply.

“It was one of Mizukage’s nins. He didn’t stay long.” Naruto growled throwing the face towel down and hurrying past the Kazekage. Gaara grabbed him before he could reach the door and suddenly pulled him back. Naruto almost protested before the cool green eyes caught his keeping him still. The Hokage pressed his lips to the others; the redhead’s mouth opened without the persuasion of the others tongue. Naruto buried his fingers in the sand-nins robe pressing forward for more of the kiss. Gaara felt relieved that Naruto seemed more willing in the relationship and he let his pale fingers graze around the neck his tongue seeking out the heat and securities of the others mouth. A low sound moved through the blond’s throat and passed through the Kazekage’s own causing a now familiar feeling to snake its way through Gaara's lower body.

“Gaara…” Naruto broke the kiss breathing hard, but Gaara had clamped his lips back to his own pressing his body up to the blonds, his tongue exploring, stroking and teasing through the blond’s mouth. Another moan escaped the throat causing another spike of arousal to wash through Gaara at the sound. It was the knock at the door that unfortunately pulled them away for the second time.

“We need to go.” Naruto whispered swallowing hard calming himself and before Gaara could reply he moved his lips to the ear.

“Thank you.” The door clicked and Naruto pulled away to face the Byakugan user who eyed them before speaking.

“The meetings,” He prompted, Naruto nodded averting his eyes away from Neji’s. Gaara looked between them, his eyes narrowing in an intense glare, and he stepped behind the Hokage one hand braced at the small of Naruto’s back. The blond gave a curt nod as they left. Neji suppressed the anger that welled in him at the action. The possession Gaara portrayed when it came to Naruto had only affirmed that he was out of his reach.

“His relationship will tip the balance.” One elder said standing abruptly. The Mizukage rubbed his face, when an arguing reply coming from the Raikage managed it above the murmurs.

“I don’t think he meant this relationship with another Kage to break apart the treatise.” As soon as he finished the door opened and the young Hokage entered, his eyes looking around the room.

“Sorry we’re late.” He said apologetically, the Kazekage moved in behind him, his face impassive as ever. The Tsuchikage from hidden village of rock stood as they entered.

“Hokage, Kazekage.” He said sharply, “We have a new issue to discuss.” The door closed behind Gaara, whose eye grazed through the area a flicker of understanding at what they meant by ‘issue’.

“We have news of a new development,” continued the leader from Rock. Naruto stopped before he reached a seat assigned to him.

“Development?” He inquired, sending one half glances to the Kazekage.

“You’re relationship is no longer a secret, do not act as if it is.” Mizukage replied motioning to the chairs. Naruto entire body stiffened, not moving.

“What is the issue then?” Gaara asked softly, his eyes were deadened in anger.

“Kazekage, what are we to think? Long periods alone with the Hokage, perhaps this relationship is more then what it seems, perhaps a combined effort on both your villages could easily take over one of ours.” The Tsuchikage from rock said, unfazed by the Suna leader’s spike of anger.

“If you think we would break the peace we have both shed blood for then you’re all fools!!” Naruto roared slamming a hand down. His statement brought a stunned silence to the group of Kages. Gaara’s eyes only flickered over to him, the only surprise he showed on his face because of the statement. The Hokage’s eyes burned with anger,

“Calm down Naruto-sama.” Came the collected voice from the Raikage, the only one who seemed the least perturbed by the news. The blond Hokage let his fingers curl on the table before sitting down. The sudden anger that washed over him at the other village leader’s assumption that they were going to use the relations to plot against the others slowly passed as a hand brushed briefly at his thigh before the Kazekage spoke.

“We do not plan to go against any country. But our relationship will remain as it is.” His voice dared an argument to rise against them, but none came.

“You were supposed to take the day off.” Someone said behind the Hyuuga who had taken a post along with Kakashi at the doors to the meeting hall.

“I don’t need to.” Came the hasty reply. The grey haired jounin looked over to Neji, and then to the shadow manipulator who was crouching on ground; he looked as if he was searching for something.

“Whatever. It’s not hard to figure out you were confronted because of your actions lately.” Shikamaru said slowly standing giving Neji a bored look. The Hyuuga growled lowly in annoyance.

“Yes, he did and what we discussed is nothing you need to know about.” He hissed angrily. The Nara clan member shrugged dismissively,

“You’re distracted.” Was Shikamaru’s uttered reply, his voice low. “And that alone can end up killing the Hokage.” The Shadow manipulator was looking him dead in the eyes for a few more moments before glancing at Kakashi and giving a curt nod to the elite jounin.

“The meetings should be ending by nightfall. Naruto will more than likely want one more night before returning to the village.” He said to the old team seven Sensei, then:

“I don’t like the silence the attackers have taken, something still doesn’t fit.” Those words caught Neji and he glanced towards Shikamaru, his anger fading at the contemplative look. Worry was etched in the way the nin’s brows knitted together.

“It means they’re planning something.” Kakashi suddenly spoke, jumping down lightly from the higher position he had been holding. He gave a meaningful look to the Shikamaru, the eyes narrowed even more.

“I feel the sooner we leave the better.” Hatake continued looking from one to the other. Something landed behind the group of elites and a panting Kiba appeared.

“They’re out there. I can sense their presence even if I can’t sense their chakra.” Said the dog-nin a bit breathlessly.

“Kiba follow me, you too Hyuuga. Shikamaru find Jeken and keep to the Hokage’s side.” Kakashi rapped. In an instant the area was deserted, the setting sun casting a prolonged shadow along the ground. A figure eased himself from against the wall stepping down lightly. If the Dog nin had his mutt he would have been caught luckily for him he had sent the beast on a merry chase through the trees.

“Fools.” He muttered taking a step forward. His body stiffened before he heard one mocking voice behind him.

“Who us?”
