An early start

Since he was already awake, Naruto decided to go see what food was around. Since it was so early not may of the women were up and he tried to keep as quiet as possible so he wouldn’t interrupt their slumber. The last thing he wanted was one of his wives to wake up in a foul mood with him as their primary target. After making it to the kitchen he started rummaging around realizing again just how little he knew about his own house. Finally finding some fruit he went to lounge in the den for a bit while the girl woke themselves and got ready for their day.

He found it rather amusing to watch them over the next hour or so as they shuffled around in a groggy state headed to the shower, bath, or bathroom to get ready. Slowly, one by one, they started heading to the kitchen to get their breakfast. Each stopped and was rather amazed to see Naruto already up and seemingly wide awake, considering his normal morning attitude. He figured they were more amazed at the fact he was still standing after all the action he gave and received last night. Most smiled and gave him a good morning kiss before heading to the kitchen. Some of the more mischievous ones had a smirk on their face as they sauntered over. Anko, never seeming to want to be outdone, gave him a little grope as well while kissing him deep and making small promises for her night.

After a short time Temari appeared in the hall walking towards him. She didn’t seem to notice him right away and actually jumped a bit when she finally saw him. An uncharacteristic blush immediately spread across her face as she hesitated then quickly walked over, gave him a peck and hurried to the kitchen as well. “So, she can have a shy side too.” Naruto smiled at himself. “I wonder what she plans…more importantly, I wonder if she’s willing to get pregnant. Just because Gaara made a threat, doesn’t mean she wants a kid of her own right now.” His mind wandered back to what Temari said about Gaara wanting a baby in her before his next visit. This got him thinking of just when his next visit would be.

After all of his wives had filed past him, minus the ones who already left to work, or decided to sleep in (Kin and Tayuya hadn’t walked by yet), he made his way to the kitchen as well, but not before hearing a little light conversation.

“You girls are in for a long day if last night was any indication.”

“Sakura told me before she left that there might be some residual effects of what Tayuya did to him, I wonder what she meant.”

“Lets hope it means he won’t drain out after he’s made his first rounds” There was a lot of laughter after this one, but that quickly died out as he entered the room.

“Hello ladies, I hope you all slept well last night.”

“I’m sure most of us did after we had our turn with you. I don’t know what Tayuya did last night, but I’m definitely not mad about it.” Tenten replied to another chorus of laughter. Looking around the table Naruto could see all eyes on him. Some had wonder, others a dreamy stare, most were loving if not a little lustful. Temari however opted to not look at him and was still blushing and concentrating rather hard on her food. Sitting in his chair Naruto started some small talk as they all settled into eating breakfast. One by one the women left as they finished eating until it was only Temari and Naruto left. Deciding not to wait until she spoke up, Naruto got up and sat directly across from her, forcing her to acknowledge his presence. She looked up, still blushing a bit, into his grinning face with a practiced indifferent look.

“So Temari-chan, what are we doing today?”
