8. Naruto/Sasuke
9. Kakashi/Sakura

THREE SHIPS I'VE NEVER LIKED:
10. Kimimaro/Tayuya
11. Sasori/Deidara
12. Jiraiya/Kakashi

TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
13. Kisame/Suigetsu
14. Kakuzu/Hidan



1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?
(Sasori/Deidara)

It's just, ugh. They are so friggin' different, they can't even agree to dissagree. I can't even tell what's so damned fascinating about this couple. People seem to eat them up, and I don't get it. I can't even tell who would be seme! DX


2. Who do you know that ships #13?
(Kisame/Suigetsu)

As far as I know, I'm the only one to come up with this pairing. They are both Mist nin, and have pointed teeth. Both rouge shinobi, both have water jutsu. That makes for great sex if they never have to use lubrication.


3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
(Asuma/Shikamaru)

I'm gona go with te cliche' here. Scenario: Asuma makes a deal with Shikamaru that intales one favor if one of them wins a game of Sougi against te other. Shikamaru thinks it's a drag to make everything a contest, but plays along.
While Shikamaru stirs in his sleep, dreaming this tale, his own mind plays back at him, dreaming a hard game of Shougi.
In the end, when Shika is about to lose, Asuma happens to pop into Shikamaru's room, and hover over his tossing form. He wonders what his adorable student could possibly be dreaming until Shikamaru moans his sensei's name, and how troublesome it was to bend so far over the sharp corners of the game table. How much of a drag it was that he was about to, well, you can see where this is going, yes?


4. What is your favorite moment for #1?
(Naruto/Gaara)

Honestly, I couldn't pick one in particular, but I have a few favorites. Mostly fanfiction related.
Like once, Gaara, being frustraited with using tool laquor, goes to the 24 hour corner shop and asks the clerk behind the counter where he can aquire sex lube for his homosexual partner. Lol.
Most of them are more tender moments though where Gaara is still grasping the idea of affection and trust loosely. The 'first time' moments, and the 'first kiss' moments. The moments when Naruto begs Gaara to understand how much he cares, and how much he knows what Gaara feels.
Little odd situations, like before Naruto confesses his cares and worries to Gaara, he's simply standing next to him, doing dishes, or eating up instant ramen, mearly pondering on how he could talk to Gaara scaring him off.


5. How long have you been following couple #6?
(Kisame/Itachi)

Ever since they popped into the show. I knew instantly who was seme, and right away, started thinking of possible senarios and personality disputes. Seeing Itachi be te 'dominant uke' makes me happy.


6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring?
(Naruto/Sasuke)

I tend to care about things that no one else does. I can say the same for disliking things that everyone else loves. Nothing against the pairing really. It's just not my favorite.
The, 'I will bring you back even if I ave to tie you up and f*** you dry' thing is getting borderline annoying.


7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4?
(Baki/Gaara or Orochimaru/Kabuto)

Hands down, Baki/Gaara. I love the Teacher student thing more than powerhungry villian/obediant servant thing anyday.
Plus, seeing a guy like Baki (the big burley, tanned, steadfast and disciplined) seme Gaara (the selfabsorbed, paranoid, untrusting and loveless) is just too good. I'm drooling as I type this, really. Damn Baki for not bending him over that desk in the Kazekage's quarters.


8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12.
(Kimimaro/Tayuya or Jiraiya/Kakashi)

Argh! Both!! But if I had to choose, I'd have to pick Jiraiya/Kakashi.
Anything se related involving a 50 year old man, I tend to stray away from. That's not to say, I hate Jiraiya/Tsunade. I think that's a perfect pairing. But I like seeing them paired when they're younger.
Kakashi is interested in the opposite sex. It's obvious from the smutty novels he reads. Although, we've never seen him chase any skirts, it's a theory of mine, that he loved Rin. This is an assumtion of course. There's absolutely no evidence to back this idea. If he were with a guy, romantically, it'd be Iruka-sensei.
Iruka is humble, shy, and loves children. How much more perfectly uke can he get? He stutters around Kakashi, and blushes around higher authority IN THE SERIES! I can totally picture Kakashi inviting Iruka to drink sake at his place for NewYear's, since they both lack family to spend it with. They end up on the livingroom floor of Kakshi's apartment in the jounin barracks, kissing, and eventually making love. I can picture Kakashi rubbing the lotion he keeps on his coffee table on Iruka's well, I'm rambling...


9. What interests you about #14?
(Kakuzu/Hidan)

What's not to love about them? They argue like a married couple, and Kakuzu kills his partners because they are annoying. But since Hidan is immortal, he can't die. Cut off his limbs, burn his flesh, nothing works.
Since Kakuzu can't kill him, he's obviously stuck with the Jashinist. I can picture a scene in a ratty old hotel room. Kakuzu is finicky with money, since he's responsible for Akatsuki's finances. I don't see him as obsessed with money, or as a miser, but just constantly worried about ho much money they spend, and how quickly tey can accumulate more currency. Hence his problem with Hidan's "long ass rituals".
But I digress. The ratty hotel room is because of Kakuzu's financial observations. He'd rather live in filth than eat crappy food.
So, there they are, eat gormet food, sitting in a roach infested single bedded room. Hidan's complaining of course about the living conditions. He hates how te light in the batroom doesn't work, and even if it did, he wouldn't shower in there if it'd save his immortal live. (Not that he'd ever die, so it must've been easy for him to say.) Kakuzu simply drowns out the noise like static and watches the soundless images on the fuzzy screened television.
Realizing that he was being ignored, Hidan moves closer, and yells something offensive, or crude in his stitchy partner's ear.
Kakuzu grabs Hidan's throat and squeezes it tigtly. Hidan struggles, and grips his much smaller fingers into Kakuzu's arm, until he finally passes out from lack of air. (Sure, he passes out, doesn't die.)
At last, peace and quiet. At least for a little while. He'd done this a few times now, he knew that the white haired one would wake again, and when he did, he'd get even more hell about being choked than e would've about the filth of their temporary room.
Now, Kakuzu was only a man. He had needs. It wasn't like he didn't have time, so he pulls the recently torn cloak off Hidan's limp torso, and looks around for something to lubricate himself with. The thought of getting caught, or Hidan waking up in the middle of his indulging, doesn't worry Kakuzu. He's completely shameless, and takes his time, knowing exactly how he'll do it.
Clothes come off quickly, and being as emotionless as he is, Kakuzu doesn't even pause to take in the sight of Hidan's naked, seemingly lifeless body. He knows what a man looks like.
Kakuzu finds a tiny, half empty bottle of liquid on the sink of the bathroom he could barely fit in because it was so small. The lable was scratched away after years of refilling and reuse. It could've been anything. Shampoo, lotion, baby oil, nail polish remover, etc.
He hovers over Hidan, unzips his fly, and lazily whips out his shaft. He smears it with the clear, mystery liquid and strokes away. Soon enough, before he can reach climax, he stuggles to hold it in and rub a finger against Hidan's entrance. He's ruthless, and not gentle at all. He is impatient, so the second and third finger push through the treshold quickly and violently.
He grips his manhood, pulls out his tree fingers, and positions himself perfectly against the pucker of Hidan's warmth.
While Kakuzu pleasures himself, Hidan mutters in his sleep about how fucking good it feels and how badly he wanted it to go deeper. He says very crude things, dirty talk, really. He sounds almost concious, but Kakuzu knows better. Hidan's sensitive, but a heavy sleeper. A REALLY heavy sleeper.
He cums quickly, and pulls out quickly, without regards to weater or not it could hurt Hidan, or rip him apart. What's the worst that could happen? He could bleed to death? No, I think not.

A few hours later, Hidan is roused by the sound of loud snoring, and a stinging pain in his reclothed ass. He rolls over to face Kakuzu and curls up against his partner's body heat and countless stitches.
His only thoughts are of the oh-so-sexy dream he had just had, and the needy throbbing cock between his legs.
Fin.
(Sheeit, I could really write good smut if I tried, couldn't I?


10. When did you stop liking #7?
(Gai/Lee)

I never stopped liking it, I just got into more couples that I like loads better. Gai and Lee are the prime example of a believable student teacher romantic relationship.


11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series?
(Kakashi/Sakura)

HELL NO! I LOVE NARUTO!
I still love this pairing,(curdosy of a lovely fanfiction called "Duty over Honor" on fanfiction.net.) but my best friend doesn't share my sentiments. She hates this pairing, and even if I roleplayed as Sakura, my boyfriend won't roleplay as Kakashi for me. He's hates it too. What's not to love about KakashixSakura?
Sure, I get why it would never happen, but still most of the pairings in fanfiction would never happen anyways.


12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?
(juugo/Kimimaro)

Two songs, really. "Stutter" by Ben's Brother, and "Kiss Me" the remake by New Found Glory.
They're a cute couple, and tey deserve a bigger crowd of people dedicated to the fandom. ^^


13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?

It's a tie between Naruto/Gaara, and Asuma/Shikamaru. But if I absolutely HAD to pick, I'd have to pick Asuma/Shikamaru.
Only because I can be openly loving of the pairing. No one loves them like I do, but they don't hate them either. With Naruto/Gaara, both my best friend and boyfriend hate that pairing. So, I can't share my love of the pairing with my two favorite people. It's uncomfortable talking about it because I don't like making them upset.
I feel like I can't even mention "Naruto" and "Gaara" in the same sentence without getting the rolling of eyes, exasperated sigh of doom, or the instant cold shoulder.


14. Which do you dislike the most?
(Jiraiya x Kakashi Hatake.)

I think I've made it clear why I hate it so much. I think Jiraiya x Minato (Yondaime) makes more sense.
I think the only one that's right for ol' Ero-sannin, is Tsunade-baa-chan.


15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
(Naruto/Gaara and Juugo/Kimimaro)

Just because I think they've got a lot in common as couples.
Naruto and Gaara are hated, and emotionally exiled from the people they fight to find acceptance from.
Juugo and Kimimaro were not only the best of friends, but they're both victims of imprisonment. Whether willfully, or unwillfully. I think the only person Juugo should be paired with, ever, is Kimimaro.


16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes.
<i.(Baki/Gaara)

Not in the series. Not even in fan fiction. Why? Because fanfics of them DON'T EXSIST! DX
I'm DYING for BakixGaara fan fiction!
The only time they HAVE kissed, is all the time. IN MY HEAD. Lol.


17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?
(Orochimaru/Kabuto)

Considering that Orochimaru ends up inside of his loyal subordinant (not the way you think), then yes. Happy ending for them. After Sasuke "killed" Orochimaru, I dunno how it happened, but Kabuto ended up having Orochimaru inside his body. According to him, 1/3 of his body was taken over by the sannin last time we saw our devious medic/spy ninja.


18. What would make you start shipping #14?
(Kakuzu/Hidan)

Ugh, after Hidan, Kakuzu, Shikamaru, Asuma's death arc.
Seriously, right after all was said and done, Asuma died, and Shikamaru avenged his sensei's/taichou's death, I drew a picture of Hidan being stitced up by Kakuzu. ^^


19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6?
(Asuma/Shikamaru or Kisame/Itachi)

It's a tragic pairing. Truely touching. And they are loads of fun to draw.
Kisame x Itachi is cool too, but I dig Asuma. Lol. He and Shikamaru are my two favorite caracters in ANY story I've ever seen, or heard.


20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
(Kimimaro/Tayuya)

First of all, Kimimaro is CLEARLY homosexual and oh-so-obviously head over heals in love with that snake, Orochimaru. If he was with anyone else romantically, it'd be Juugo. Tayuya is a bitch, and Kimimaro would slit her throat before he ended up in bed with her. Like, "Argh! I have to sare a bed with you?! Curse curse, blah blah blah, curse curse." Kimimaro punches a hole in her back, and rips out her spine. "I said, shut the fuck up." He rolls over and falls soundly asleep in blood soaked sheets.
