Episode 17-> Sasori as Gaara's twin and Deidara his lover?! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

"So Na-chan... who are these people?" I stared at Naruto dumbly. I stayed speechless and slowly pushed myself into a sitting position all the while gawking at Naruto.

"I'm her cousin Naomi Hugh." Naomi butted in, in complete oblivion, answering his question since everyone else in the room seemed incapable at the moment. Naruto gave her a foxy grin before looking at Deidara and Sasori expectantly.

"And you two?"

No one answered. Naomi's brow twitched in annoyance.

"Jeez what's the prob. Answer the guy!" Naomi exclaimed missing the big picture here because well she doesn't watch the anime.

"Naruto." I said jumping brusquely to my feet and dusting myself off. When he looked at me with earnest inquisition I choked a bit. "Uh, yeah, the red head with the freakish thing on his back is Gaara's long lost twin brother, Sori-kun and the blonde.... well he's his lover." I had no idea where that came from but it was better than nothing. With Sasori in his true form he did look a lot like Gaara and I had nothing for Deidara so I just tossed in the couple thing.

Sasori took an anime floor dive and twitched.

"WHAT!!" Springing up suddenly Deidara growled in outrage and I scratched the back of my neck nervously and glanced away sheepishly.

"Uh-ha-ha-ha..." I said nothing more.

"OH! They're gay? I've only met a hand full of gay couples before! Cool!" Naomi had a twinkle in her eyes. I gave her a weird look through the corner of my eyes. She was acting like it was an exotic phenomenon.

"Why do I not believe you?" Naruto's words made 3/5 of the room freeze in place. It was silent for a suffocating minute and Naomi was staring off looking all dreamily at a pink-headed imaginary creature because there was nothing there so I just assumed.

"He looks girly but he doesn't scream 'I like guys' to me." Naruto finally broke the silence rubbing his chin in thought. The breath I was aware that I was holding in rushed out in a big gush.

"Yeah I see what you mean Naruto," Naomi said suddenly beside him and studying Deidara and Sasori and I was coincidently smack dab in the middle of the two. I shuffled from foot to foot awkwardly. "But I can't believe it! All the guys are gay these days! Are there none left for us girls?" Naomi began to sulk.

"I hear girls are too much drama." I threw in.

"Oh." She mumbled dejectedly. Naomi may say she's too busy to have a serious relationship but I knew deep down my cousin was a hopeless romantic.

Naruto made a small half-chuckle noise making everyone look at him in curiosity. "Won't Gaara be happy to find out he has a twin." His tone was wishful and sweet but his eyes were sad and hopeful. "His life has been rough... wow you're his twin, huh?" Naruto looked at Sasori and gave him a smile that broke my heart.

"Aw Naruto! I'm sorry! I lied! I'm a big fat liar! He isn't Gaara's twin!" I blubbered tackling him with a hug. Sasori and Deidara sweat-dropped. Naomi was confused. And Naruto was like WTF.

"He's not!?" His eyes darted to Sasori then down at me. "Why the ---- did you lie?"

"I didn't want you to figure out the truth-"

"What truth?"

"We killed your friend, the Kazekage..." Sasori murmured without thinking and everyone stopped moving, breathing, I think even the world stopped spinning at that moment.

"You. Did. WHAT??" And everyone in the room dies-

Oh, I'm sorry did you actually think that was happening? Oh no, no, no! I don't have the guts to tell him the truth. I shudder at the thought. I kept my mouth zipped; Naruto got his water, waved bye, gave Sasori a friendly nod and went back to the clearing to train.

"Nice meeting you Sori-kun. You too Naomi! Um I never got your lover's name." He had said looking at Sasori who was standing with his feet braced apart and arms tugged under his chest.

"Dei. Just call him Dei." ^_^' I had supplied and Naruto left.

"Well that went well." I said stiffly which was followed by a brief silence.

Naruto doesn't know them... How does he not know them? They kidnapped his friend! Wait whoa, was I right about the characters here are from early episodes in the show? Well by dang. I think I am. Way to go me! Happy Dance! Now I don't have to worry about there being a huge blow out!! YAY! Phew, less stress, I am contented. (^-^) But wait- (O_O) Shino and Choji came a few seconds after Naruto, Kiba and Hinata... I don't know if they're all from the same episode...! Who knows how big an effect a few seconds can have? I'm not in the clear yet. AND WHAT IF MORE CHARACTERS COME?!? Aw my poor little head... (T-T) WHAT HAPPENED TO PEACE AND RELAXATION???? IT'S SUMMERRR!!

I saw movement from the corner of my eyes, successfully pulling me from my little mental freak out and I shrieked moving out the way just in time to avoid Deidara jump kicking me.

"YOU TOLD HIM THAT I WAS GAY!!?!"

"I'm sorry! Ah! It was the first thing that came to mind! Ah-ah-ah!! Come on! It's not like-AH!- I could have said you were a family member!" I explained while dodging him (barely) as he tried to reach me, no doubt trying to strangle me.

"Huh?! He's not gay?" Naomi looked at Sasori dumbly. "You two aren't going? [A/N: dating]" He narrowed his eyes at her and she cringed and turned away mumbling something along the line of 'Intimidating twerp...'

"Why not, hm?" Curiosity got Deidara to stop. He turned me around making me face him.

"Everyone in my family has Blue eyes and Black to Brown hair. You're Blonde." I panted suspended in the air by Deidara holding me by the back of my shirt. Deidara blinked in surprise and he glanced between Naomi and me to compare us. With my sapphire like blue eyes, dark brown hair and Naomi with her fairly brown locks tied into a professional's bun and equally blue eyes, Deidara considered it.

"Everyone, hn?" He raised a brow.

"Yeah, everyone does. The Hugh family is called The Watchers of The Sea. This is because each person born under the Hugh family tree inherits blue eyes. It's something to do with our descendants. I really flunked in History and I hate it so I'll stop there." He knew family members shared similarities but for the entire family to possess the exact qualities seemed a little short of extraordinary.

"How did we get into family history? They're not gay!?" Naomi questioned when Deidara placed my feet back on the ground after my brief Hugh family history lesson. The moment his finger untwined from my shirt I booked it.

"Nay-nay!!" I wailed running to her and clutching her waist like a scared little girl would latch onto her mother. "Why'd you let the bad man chase me?" I gave her the wounded puppy look. She rolled her eyes, she opened her mouth to ask something but Deidara interrupted.

"Well I wouldn't have needed to kill you if you didn't mix up my sexuality-!"

"Well excuse me!! At least I came up with something to save your butt-cracks!" I narrowed my eyes at him and flared my nostrils. "If you'd just stayed inside that room in the first place we wouldn't be worrying about your presence being compromised! You only got lucky because Naruto didn't recognize you!"

"That young boy... he was the vessel of the Nine-Tail Fox, correct?" Sasori mused looking deep in sinister thoughts.

"You better not get any funny ideas puppet-man! You guys are stuck here so your Akatsuki obligations are null! You better not touch my babies!"

"Who do you think you are raising your voice at brat!?" [A/N: Who do you think you are? A super S.T.A.R (...R)? Who do you think you are, you can kiss my, oh my gah! Karmen rox sox!!]

"I think you are a man made out of wood who has a byzantine personality! Gat a problem?!" I had no idea why I was being so pissy. Usually I'm calm... and I don't get mad easily... huh... weird... slapping Shino came to mind. I grinned out of nowhere and Sasori seemed to misunderstand and think I was undermining him and his authority.

"Just because this place is your affiliation does not mean we must abide by your whims." Sasori said coldly with a dangerous undertone.

...He had a point |_(= _=)_|

"Ok ya know what... I do not like the murderous tension so I'll break it- so I ask yet again: THEY AREN'T GAY?" she rolled her hands in a melodramatic way. Well I give her credit; Naomi managed to draw the attention back to her and did kill the tension. Though she gained three eye rolls in the process. She also gained three simultaneous responses. "No, We/They/I are/are/am not gay!"

I glare at them hating them rolling right over my words, so without them I said, "No nay-nay, they're not. I just came up with the best excuse I could of." I sheepishly rubbed the back of my neck as the two men in the room narrowed their eyes at me with several anime veins pulsating on their skulls. I did the notorious 'who are they glaring at' glance over the shoulders and avoided their gazes.

"But why? Why the excuse? What was wrong with him knowing who they are?"

"Naruto and these goons here are enemies in the series-I mean that with the upmost respect!" I added quickly, throwing in an awkward laugh, when Sasori glare hardened and Deidara took a menacing step my way.

"But why didn't he know his enemies faces. That's just really dumb..."

"My theory is that he's from the first episode where Deidara and Sasori aren't introduced yet."

Naomi put her chin in her fist and tapped her thumb against her lip in thought.

"Hmm... this seems complicated..." No duh, Miss. Obviousity of the Universe! Naomi gave me an indignant look seeming to just KNOW I was thinking what I'd thought.

"This seems complicated," She added a little force to the words before a smug grin took over her lips, "But I know a temporary solution!"

A hopeful smile took over my face.

"These two can stay by me!"

My face dropped.

"No." I said seriously, "They're staying here with me."

Deidara and Sasori seemed shocked by my response and wondered if I was right in the head.

"That seemed to be such a good idea, un. Why would you want us to stay if we're only a source of problems? She just offered to take us of your hands!" Why did he need permission from a girl younger than him again?

"You guys are the ones who were so pushy about a place to stay..." ok that wasn't even close to a good reason but...

A small shade of color came to my cheeks.

...it was much less embarrassing than the truth that lies in a fan-girl's heart.

"Well if you can't come up with a reason then they're coming with me."

"NO! I don't want them to go! I like them here with me!"

"But they're older than you... well I'm still not sure about the redhead he just doesn't look 30 odd to me but really was is it so important for them to stay. You'll still see them and I won't let them die, I'll feed em."

I looked away dejectedly. She had a point. With them gone I didn't have to worry about my lie being throw down the gauntlet.

"Just let them stay." I whispered, hugging myself just a bit and rubbing my arm self-consciously.

"Awww! She's blushing!" Deidara announced suddenly in my face making me have a start. He poked my cheeks and I frowned at him. Jerkoff... I swatted at his hand and he moved away.

"Aw you guys she just wants you to stay with her! I'm sorry I even suggested it." She started gathering her purse and keys. "Well Natty-babes I've got to head back to work now." She kissed me on the forehead and I frowned childishly.

"You know I hate that! You make me feel like a baby!"

"Whatever girl, you guys treat her good; she was willing to risk her standing with Naruto for you. You're loved if I do say so." I watched Naomi leave for her car and smiled.

"SasoXDei!!!! Yaoi! BoyxBoy! Shonen Ai!!! BL! BL! BL! BL! Deidara and Sasori in looooove!!" I yelled running around like a loon suddenly happier then I can contain. What was I? A hyper five year old on halloween?! HECK YEAH!!

...

A few days rolled by making it an equal of 7 days. A total of a week has passed since Naruto characters have been at my house.

Yeah, turns out Kiba, Shino, Hinata and Choji didn't recognize them either so everything has went surprisingly well the last couple of days. Akamaru didn't even show any signs of suspecting them! I can even go so far as to say the Akatsuki and leaf ninjas are getting along!! Oh happy days I love thee. To them Sasori was Gaara's undocumented twin and Deidara... his lover. Yeah once you tell Naruto something there is no hope of taking it back. But all and all it was goooood!

Also, it seems my parent decided to kick it in New Providence for a few more days and Leon said he was coming home in either three or four more days; with or without mum and daddy I wasn't sure.

I should be worrying about that considering I haven't told my parents about the whole 'anime in real life living in our home' thing, and I should be worrying about how to explain things with my parents right now... but at the moment I was too busy trying not to have an aneurism over Naomi. Older cousins just can't help making our lives embarrassing!

"Oh! And I think I remember that one guy, the one Natalya loves! I swear she crushes on him so hard!!"

"Naomi..." I groaned in protest, wanting her to shut up and despite myself I couldn't help but blush.

"No, no what was his name again? Shukaku? Um wait no that's not it" She had this huge grin of malicious pleasure.

"SHUT UP!" I yelled covering my face in humiliation. "You're in the woods with your boyfriend Edward Cullen!!! He's always whining and complaining; he's so sullen!!! La la la la la la la la la!!!" I said loudly jumping up and down in front of her.

She pushes me aside. "She talks about him ALL the time. Shoots times like these- I really need to stop tuning her out. I forgot the name. But Shukaku is close... I think"

"No, it's, not! You, are, wrong! Stop talking now!" DX

Was it that horrible if they found out...? I mean my fan-girly-ness is going to come out soon when I start complaining. All those stinking days went by and no new characters came! I'm gratefully for the ones I've gotten but if the love of my life isn't coming then how can I be happy!!! I can't, I tell you! No matter how hilarious and entertaining Kiba/Fangs, Hinata/my twin, Naruto/Foxy, Akamaru, Shino/Firefly, Choji/Teddy-bear, Deidara and Sasori are! Where is the romance?!

I threw myself at Choji, "Put me out of my misery, Teddy-bear! Just place me in a baker, cover me in a cheesy glaze, scoop me onto some Doritos and have me for a light snack!" Ok that was just too melodramatic even for me.

Choji looked down at me in mortification, "Nat-chan, I would never eat you! Why... that's just cannibalism!"

-_-

"Aw, come on Natty-boo they ARE going to find out sooner or later!" She grinned at me and I debated on whether to flip her off. I sighed.

Kiba cleared his throat rather loudly, the rude bastard and eyes fell on him.

"Can we quit with all this idle shit-chat please and get down to more important matters?"

"Important matters...?" Everyone blinked at him in confusion, what important matters did we have to discuss?

"Don't tell me you guys forgot already?!" Kiba yelled and everyone blinked at him still in confusion. Silence fell around the living room and Kiba sweat-dropped and face-palmed.

"Oh yeah..." Naomi broke the silence looking up and knocking her fist into her open palm catching a thought. "We were supposed to figure out how you all got here since we never got around to it before."

"Oh-oh yeah! Gee how did I forget?" It was the reason we came down here in the first place. Didn't we wonder why we were all gathered together like this?

"It is a surprise you were the one to remember, Kiba..." Shino said in his stoic, Shino swaggalicious way.

Kiba cleared lightening at Shino and Akamaru snickered. I snorted, dog who can laugh, jokey!

"Natalya, uncle didn't bring any new gizmos here before he left did he?" I looked at Naomi.

"No actually. Things at the lab has been slow he said. He was working on a private project though, never saw it, but he'd said he only barely structured it. I don't know if it would be in a working stage and with him on holiday I doubt that he made any progress on it."

"So your father is a...?" Naruto left the sentence open for me to finish.

"He is a Technological engineer. He builds things, maybe even things that can do this but it's not likely that he has." At 'this' I gestured to them all.

"Well that was helpful," Kiba rolled his eyes and folded his arms.

"Well, have you got anything new?" I can roll my eyes too thank you! "Last I check you didn't know anything when I found you."

"We still got nothing, just found ourselves in a weird house and then you leaped out and cracked me across the head." Kiba said in a matter-of-fact tone. "How about you two, got any idea how you got here." Kiba asked referring to Deidara and Sasori.

"We..." Deidara started closing his eyes, his eyebrow in a knot of concentration. "We were flying... we were flying-un, on one of my birds, yeah...and there was this ripple in the sky just in front of us, and out of curiosity I flew us in closer...then..." Deidara's forehead creased and a few moments later he reopened his eyes. Everyone stared at him transfixed. "Then that's it-un. That's all I remember."

Every pair of eyes shifted towards Sasori of the red sand-not that anyone but me knew that- and he nodded in confirmation. That's as far as he'd remembered also. Silence followed as everyone saturated in the short reverie.

Then there came a noise that was really irritating and seriously cramping my concentration mojo!!!

"Oh my gud, what is that annoying noise!!!" I huffed and every looked up at me. They had been so far in thought they hadn't heard it until I brought it up. Everyone looked at the phone and everybody sweat-dropped minus Naomi. [A/N:*whispers* because she can't... she's not an anime girl ^_^']

Oh *snort* duh!! The phone is ringing!!! "Wait... JUST EVRYBODY WAIIIITT! The phone is ringing!" I screamed above the silence, yeah no one was talking that loud, more like mumbling amongst themselves, yet I was making all that brouhaha.

I rushed to the phone and picked it up. "Hey-low?" I asked like fizzy pop; all sweet and bubbly!

"Hey sexy mama what are you wearing." WTF! I gave the phone a double take. With all the drama in the room it took me a while to realize, "Jeez Leon! You scared the mess out of me you know!"

"Gee and here I thought you would remember my voice. I've only been gone for a few days!" Leon's reply came from the receiver.

"Booboo, I'm sowie! I didn't forget! I luv you too much!" I cooed and laughed obnoxiously then froze noticing everyone giving me curious stares. Whaaaaat?

"Boyfriend?" Choji asked Naomi, whilst munching on junk food, who shook her head.

"No that's her brother. She's single. AND AVAILABLE!" She hinted winking at some of the boys. There were a few scattered chuckles and I huffed in annoyance.

I'm sure it doesn't say Embarrass Natalya Day on my calendar... hmm... E.N.D....

Ok now that is just creepy.

"But yeah Natty..." Kiba said with a crafty grin as he circled me like a wolf. "I've never thought about it but most girls who read manga become fan-girls... Tell the truth Natty...! How many of us in this room have you had a crush on...?" He rose an inquisitive brow, pointed an accusing finger and I rolled my eyes. Were we not on a deeper conversation just barely a minute ago! How did we get on my fan-girl-erisms??

"You," I pointed to Kiba, "Him," I pointed to Deidara, "Him too," I pointed to Sasori, "um... I used to have a crush on Naruto but then in respect to Hinata and her crus-" Hinata shook her head swiftly and I cut that off and went back to pointing but then I realized that's all the boys in the room that I've crushed on. I put my hand down and shrugged. "Yeah I'm done."

"Wait never Shino?"

"No or else I would have pointed to him." The shocked, 'I can't believe it' looks of disbelief I got made my mouth twitch at the corner. "What...? I've never had a crush on Shino. Is that so hard to believe?! I'm serious guys I've never had a crush on Mr. Shady rims." "It is hard to believe! You flaunt over him like crazy I would think-" Naruto shouted zealous as always.

"No, I just like messing with him though a crush can possibly form from this..." I trailed off vaguely and grinned over my shoulder at Shino who had an 'I'm rolling my eyes' disposition. Did they seriously come to the conclusion that because I was bagging on Shino meant that I had a crush on him? With a light heart I giggled. That is so grade school! No kindergarten!

"Who cares who she likes or used to like?" Sasori grunted with his hands folded over his t-shirt clad wooden chest. "In the end it's none of our business."

"Of course it doesn't matter to you who a girl likes, you're dating a guy so-"

"Hey! That is really insensitive of you Kiba." Hinata scolded giving him one of those rare chastising glares. Kiba cowered in a corner, his mouth covered by a weird zipper looking thing. What the heck anime characters is be into dred!

Sasori glowered at the canine example. He had to swallow his pride every time just to stop himself from screaming the truth into their faces. Every time one of these fools mentioned that unbelievably unbelievable lie, he had the urge to choke 'em!

I chuckled softly into my closed fist, as Deidara came behind a seething Sasori. I can tell the status of coupling with Deidara wasn't tickling his peach.

"It's alright babes... He just doesn't understand-un." Deidara startled Sasori by wrapping his arms around his waist from behind.

"D-Deidara!" Sasori gasped while being hoisted him up in the air by him.

"Sasori-dana, un, do not be so embarrassed." Deidara whispered on a tone that was meant for a lover's lips. Sasori snarled in his throat and gritted his teeth together as said male burying his face into his ligneous back. What a wonderful actor, GO DEIDARA! And I get to keep their identity a secret and get a piece of Yaoi Haven in my own home!! DOUBLE-SCORE!!

"Let me go you insufferable, thickheaded fool!" Sasori's floundering grew with his anger. His anger matched his annoyance but nothing matched his intent of murder that grew the longer he held him. This 'couple' sham was exhausting his patience. And the blonde fool, in the span of just a few days, took his role to heart!!

Everyone chuckled at the sight. Naomi and I connected gazes and shared a 'we know what the rest don't know' giggle. Two straight anime men having to pretend to be lovers... freaking priceless!

"As you wish, love..." He placed a kiss on the valley between his shoulder blades making Sasori's eyes turn anime white (which = no pupils + no iris) and multiple anger veins to throb on his skull. It made these weird crunching sounds as they appeared, so you know, just from that, he was dead mad!!

"Wow... that is still cool..." I heard Naomi mutter and it made my eyes lit with humor, for a young adult I can't believe she's so fascinated by anime reaction! Day before yesterday Hinata had said something- in innocence of course- and everyone anime fell and Naomi asked if they had a seizure or something! It was hilarious! Wish you would have been there!

Well that was then and we're back to now, with Sasori grabbing Deidara by his collar and bringing him closer. Deidara had his hands up in surrender. He'd already put him down it seemed. "I will kill you if need be Deidara."

"Likewise, hmm," Deidara replied with a closed-eye smile, his tone cheerful for the benefit of the crowd, while his statement proved no false.

Oh brother.

"Alright, alright! Break it up lover boys! Save it for Reality TV!" I clapped my hand onto Sasori's shoulder making him stiffen. He dropped Deidara with an irritated huff.

"Um... I think you forgot I'm on the phone..." I twirled around and walked a distance from the crowd. "Oh Leon!! My bad! Hehe... were you listening to all that?" "Actually I went to grab something to eat when I noticed you weren't answering me, had a feeling you were distracted..." "Oh... yeah... you can say that a-ha-ha."

I scratched the back of my head and laughed nervously.

I jumped when the sound of a few pairs of feet connected with the ground outside, and then even more feet connected with the floor inside, obviously from everybody getting up in a rush to see what was happening outside. I turned around to see most of the room rushing out the front door while others fought at the window. Silently I went outside and froze on the porch.

I was barely aware of Leon screaming my name like a goon. [A/N: "Bey, you don't know me like dat to be calling my name like dat, boy!"] Instead I was focused on the two figures standing in the middle of my front yard...

"Hey Natalya" Naomi called right in the mix of the excitement, "There are more characters!" She pointed enthusiastically to the two males and I gulped.

"L-Leon-"

__________LEON'S 3RDPERSON~POV__________

____________IN NEW PROVIDENCE_____________

__________________________________________

"Alright, alright! Break it up lover boys! Save it for Reality TV!"

His sister's voice rang into the phone which a clapping sound followed. Who was she talking to? Who were all those people in the background anyway? He heard a lot of male voices! What the hell was Natalya doing...

"Um... I think you forgot I'm on the phone..."

"Oh Leon!! My bad! Hehe... were you listening to all that?"

"Actually I went to grab something to eat when I noticed you weren't answering me, had a feeling you were distracted..." he lied, not that she realized. He's been silently listening the whole time.

"Oh... yeah... you can say that a-ha-ha." His eyes narrowed at that.

'Suspicious...'

Suddenly he heard several people gasp and movement, definitely movement.

"Nat?" She wasn't answering now. "Nat...? Natalya?! Girl, answer me!" This was getting annoying.

"NAT?!" He was yelling into the phone like some crazy person.

He listened closely but heard nothing useful, just background noise and happy voices. Did she have the F***ing Prime Minister over or something?!

"Hey Natalya" That was Naomi... "There are more characters!" She seemed weirdly excited.

'Characters?'

"L-Leon I- Call you back later okay." Beep. Beep. Beep.

'Did... did she just hang up on me!!!??' Leon thought giving the phone the stink eye and a scowl.

"Leon sweetie is that Natalya you're on the phone with?" His mother asked from the entryway.

"Yes mum. She said... uh hi to you and dad." He answered nonchalantly.

"Well can I talk to her?" She said pointing to the phone in his hand.

Leon slowly put down the cordless phone on the counter. "Uh no she already hung up. She said she had to go."

"Oh." She placed her hand or her hip and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. "That girl... you'd think she'd bother to ask to talk to her parents." She tsk-ed and shook her head before turning on her heel.

"Um mum..." Leon called, mulling his next move over.

"Uh-huh?" She hummed and her paused exit.

"Do you still have that reservation?" She turned to him mildly surprised and considerably inquisitive.

"Why...?"

"I have business to... attend back home." Leon's eyes flickered with an underlying current of determination. He was going to figure out what his little sis was up to or his name wasn't Leonardo D' Angelo Hugh!

His mother's brow rose even higher.

_____________NATALYA'S POV______________

_________________________________________

"L-Leon I- Call you back later okay." I hung up and I stared at the two figures standing just meters ahead. Everyone rushed out to greet their companions while my feet remained where they stood... I clenched onto the front of my shirt just above my heart which was beating uncomfortably fast. An irregular Speedy Consales.

Everyone chatted away ecstatically whereas I remained on the sidelines. Suddenly he looked my way and our eyes connected making my chest tighten. I watched him with 'deer trapped in headlights' eyes.

"Natalya! Hey Na-chan! Come meet Gaara and Shikamaru!!!! Let me introduce you!" Naruto exclaimed his arms around the fore-mentioneds' shoulders. My heart only seemed to beat faster and I grew more uncomfortable. I look away immediately.

With my eyes on my hand and my hand over my chest I calmly whisper, "I think I'm having a heart attack." I stare at the empty space on the porch, my eyes were slightly wide. My heart was still racing away while everybody's' eyes soon snapped to my figure. Somehow, they had overheard me.

"What?" They all said in simultaneous disbelief. Akamaru whimpered worriedly.

Slowly my eyes made its way up until it landed on Gaara's face for a moment. I look away my eyes running over all the worried faces. My eyes connected with his again and not soon after my eyes rolled back, everything went black and just like that... I fainted... with Naomi shrieking in my ear as I faded into a state of unawareness.

Stage 1: O///O *bump* *bump* *bump-bump*

Stage 2: @///@ *ai* *ai* *ai*

Satge 3: X///X

KO-ED!!! *ding* *ding* *ding*

Fan-girl wipeout!

XD Can anyone guess why Nat fainted?? Finally the love of her life has arrived that's why!! But who exactly? Do you know now? OMG YES! FINALLY HERE! ARE YOU AS EXCITED AS MEEEEEE!!? No, then poo to you!! *weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
