Author's Note: Okay sorry for the dream sequence even though some said they liked it never again will I take that off a movie. Sorry about that, just think of it as a filler. Now that I am now on a more serious note, I am learning to play around with words. So soon hope to see improvement!!!
Naruto landed in front of the entrance, breathing slightly heavier than usual. Sadly the boy had gotten lost on his way here, and instead of making it five minutes earlier like he planned he made it exactly on the dot. He smiled at the guard on post and told him his name, the nameless guard only nodded in response.
The huge gate began to open slowly, guided by a track along the ground. The two barred doors slid their way into the walls on the side, the only thing blocking the view of the park. Naruto took a deep breath and began to walk towards his destination. He knew, a beautiful blond; ahem.. busty, woman would be waiting for him...HIM!
Ever since that challenge Kiba had gave him, Naruto's streak of luck lasted way longer than usual; it lasted way past unusual also. How that made sense? I don't know. The blond bombshell turned down a dirt road nearing the meeting place. Butterflies began to flutter inside his stomach, nervousness unexpectedly had grabbed his throat in a vice grip. Naruto had to admit, he only felt like this when he was going to ask Sakura-chan out. Did that mean he liked everyone's favorite Hokage? Yes, yes it does.
The moon gave off a dull light which hit the earth below. Light fell in between openings through the leaves and branches, creating a abstract pattern along the ground. The blue light danced around the lake as our blond Shinobi walked towards it, live flowers in hand. He looked around and saw no one, only a small lake surrounded by trees and or varieties of plant life.
A no show eh? His mind wandered into the depths of thought, was this all a big joke? Did someone actually stage that letter? His eyes focused onto the ground, a small habit he had developed when disappointed. His heart felt heavy, saddened by the fact that someone could play such a cruel trick on him. The boy let out a saddened sigh, as he stared a hole into the ground.
Unaware that someone stood quietly behind him, staring a hole into him...

-Earlier Today:
Sabaku no Temari, the wind witch, the sand mistress of Suna; no sand mistress of Konoha, climbed the spiraling stairs that led to the leaf council's office. She currently was being led by AnBu safely to the determined room. Finally she walked down a straight hallway and was practically shoved in there.
The girl held back the urge to snap the guy in two, she tightened her fist but then relaxed. The room reminded her of the council room back home. One dull color, everything either if it the walls, ceiling, floor boards, curtains, desk. It was all beige, a dull, boring, piece of crap, color. She sat onto the the beige cushion, that was placed in front of the long beige desk, which was only a foot off the beige floor.
She looked into the eyes of the old man that sat before her, he had said nothing to her, his wrinkled eyes never bothered to even blink at her. The old man just slightly nodded, which scared Temari. That man looked terribly old, nodding his head made her fear that it would give in to weight. She relaxed though as he simply pushed as brand new headband towards the edge of the desk. From now on she would be wearing that. She was now considered a Konoha ninja. How sad for the girl of Suna.
Temari leaned forward and grabbed the fresh headband, took off her old one and tied it on. Feelings of anger began to form in her heart, not at Konoha but at Suna. Her home land. Why, why her? Quickly she was dismissed from the office and sent away. The girl had to go to the Hokage for her mission.
The AnBu led her throughout the building like a dog on its leash, turning down hallways traveling up and down stairs. Temari didn't know which way she haD came from and she could of swore she passed the same hallway twice. Finally they had arrived on familiar territory and she was let into the Hokage's office.
Tsunade looked up from the papers on her desk, half expecting Shizune to walk in. When she saw Temari she gave off a small motherly smile, she had not expected Temari for another two days. The older woman cleared her throat to speak.
"Hello Temari, I wasn't expecting you here."
"Yea, I thought I would surprise you," she replied smoothly
"I'm flattered, so I guess we should get your mission started as soon as possible?" the Hokage asked, though she knew the answer to that question. Temari only nodded , silently agreeing to the older woman.
"Well as your were told, I hope. You will be working undercover as a geisha in a tea house where Kennon Dansei normally visits. Though you know nothing about being a geisha, you will be taught by the best and only the best. Then once your requirements are fulfilled, you will be sent out into the field. Gather as much information as possible without blowing your cover, during your breaks try and sneak into his private room, located in the very tea house you will be sent to. This is a 'A' ranked mission, were counting on you."
Temari nodded as she took in all the information for her mission, she could not mess this up and she had figured the faster she did this the faster she could get home. This simple mission seemed easy enough to her. Its was ranked A but nothing she couldn't handle; she was Sabaku no Temari, she could handle anything.
"Well, you start tomorrow, here is the location of the tea house," the woman stated. Tsunade gave Temari a mission scroll containing all the vital pieces of information. She had until tomorrow to rest, once the day came, the girl would be put through the tests of the geisha. "Now hurry out of here, I have to get ready for something." Tsunade had waved off the sand kunochi, without hesitation the girl left the office headed back for home.

"So, how was your day?"
Tsunade had asked, she had found Naruto near the lake, usually for being late the woman would of pounded him into dust. This time was different though, the pounding could wait, just for a little while. The older woman was flattered beyond belief to the beautiful bouquet of flowers he had brought for her. The color of the petals matched perfectly, she was surprised at the boy's effort. He had brought her flowers from a professional, impressive.
They sat along the edge of the lake, facing each other in the dim light, the moon shone its brightest; the ball of light not hindered by clouds floating along in the darkness. Naruto looked into the older woman's chocolate brown eyes and found it hard it answer. "Most of my day was boring," he had finally forced out. Tsunade raised an eyebrow to the boy, normally he would have something to do, maybe he was still traumatized from Kurenai.
"Thats strange, normally you would be doing something that would annoy anyone." she smiled,
Naruto could help but give a one of his copyrighted grins, "Hey, I'm not annoying." he retorted,
"Sure you aren't" The woman playfully spat back. Their little game was getting more interesting by the second, she looked over to the lake. Enjoying its beauty, watching the tiny ripples of water race towards them as leaves and cherry blossoms hit the surface.
"Tsunade-obachan? Can I ask you something?"
Tsunade inwardly cringed as he called her his all so affectionate nickname, she held back her annoyance just this once. Why ruin the moment?
"Sure Naruto what is it?"...
End of Chapter.
Sorry for the cliffy but I ran out of ideas, and I know you wouldn't like to read a whole bunch of nothing. Enjoy this installment of Loveless Naruto.
By the way Kennon Dansei actually means dangerous man
