This could work, if written well that is.

There was that brief time period that wasn't shown after the Sasuke Retrival Arc, when all three of the Sand Siblings worked as teachers in Konoha Academy, due to the low number of Shinobi present in the Village. Who's to say that they didn't meet during that time?

So the prompt for the challenge is this: The probability of solving a problem.

It can contain this phrase or have the whole piece pertaining to it. It also has to be up to 1,000 words and has to be one of the following genres (with General allowed as a second):

Hurt/Comfort

Romance

Humor

Drama

Angst

This is a specialty challenge because we mean to write as many fictions of this couple as possible, whether they're cute drabbles or thought evoking stories. Also, anyone who responds to this challenge will get a oneshot of their choice couple and a special dedication.

DAC

Mine has now been posted.

It is also the first one on this site for the pairing. I am slightly disappointed in this, as I like this pairing quite a lot. But hopefully, it will gather a following at some point. If you want a fire, you have to set the trail, right?

Posted my rendition of this coupling (Finally!)

Yes, we must set the trail and play the waiting game, this couple will gain fans soon...

Oh, Coco-Minu, would you like to do the honors and make the prompt for the next one?

DAC

Really? Thank you.

Prompt: Yearning for the sun.

Does that sound ok? :)

Yes Ma'am! ;)

*salutes*

DAC

Bombardment has once again become chopped liver, in favour of the title 'Apricot Sky.' Not entirely sure why, but it was spontaneous train of thoughts and lack of fitting most likely.

Drabble series is now started. How many are we going up to? :/

Also, new theme please. :D

My mindset keeps going back to the numbers 19 and 21, so I'm between the two. Also, do they all have to end in a kiss?

I'm going to post my "Yearning for the Sun" piece a little later than I thought to get it right. In the meantime, new theme:

"Water and Sand"

I find it convient that Umino Iruka means "Sea dolphin" and that Temari comes from Sunagakure. Their life is a beach, perhaps?

DAC

Between the two as in twenty, or torn by decision? I am rather liking twenty one also.

If they all ended in a kiss, it would be boring. D:

I agree. I like that theme. Will get around to it, post-haste. After I finish my oneshot.

(On another note, why am I writing a oneshot anyway? Oh yes, that is right. Because I can, and I do not yet feel like writing my next thirty kisses theme, or actually making my computer work to post my next Royai theme. Sorry to those who are waiting for them. Sort of.) :/

Wow, that's a pretty roundabout way of saying, "I think we should do twenty themes." Even Light Yagami would be proud of me. :O

No, I meant between 19 or 21, excluding 20. Hehe, what a riddle! I think 21's great, but that could be me being biased...:)

Yes, you can. Well, I'm not so innocent ethier, since I was going to do the same, plus I have writer's club assignments, so...I can't say I'm that sorry, but I am slightly. Ish. xO

DAC

Updates: pretty much ... done. Wow.

Just when I got my materials to begin making my Akatsuki cloak (very early this year, I jumped the gun by a few months) my Uncle tells me he has ordered me one, due to arrive in the next week or two, and has also bought me a ring he believed to be Konans.

He got me Kisames ring, but ah well. His thought counted at the time, he is the only one in my family who ever has a clue what I am on about. I do not have the heart to tell him, however. But anyway, I love him. So. Much. Right. Now! :D

Oh yes, to the point, I updated Apricot Sky. May I have a third theme?

*pouts*

School's been, metaphorically, kicking me in my **. :o

So you got the Akatsuki outfit? When is the convention, I thought you would've gone already.

Am I official theme giver? O.o

In that case...

Theme Four: Slack. Shake. Slip.

How it's used, in anyway the author so chooses. Capisce?

DAC

You mean theme three? Ell-oh-ell.

Also, you invented the challenge, so it would make sense for you to give the themes unless we ask others to post them as something they would like to see some crack based off of. Also, that theme makes me think of smut. Not that I am complaining, but I will find it hard to think of anything over than a lemoney idea for that one (which will be avoided.) I try not to write lemons. Or limes, for that matter.

Also, there are two conventions in London every year. Both are in ExCeL, the registry building for pretty much everything, which holds tons of different events. I went to both last year dressed as pre-timeskip Ino (first) and Shippuden Ino (second) but I really want to do a Konan because she is just the awesome and I cannot deal with more wigs. Plus, the second time, some creepy old guy tried to hit on me and my six foot something friend just sort of came over with his muscle-y-ness and loomed over him. So yes, it might be a good idea to go as Konan.

The next convention is in...May? But oh well, it is nice to be prepared. My friend and I are getting together an Akatsuki cosplay group. She wants to cross-play Madara, so it should be quite good.

We still need Kisame, Itachi, Hidan and Sasori however, and I am not sure our Pein (six foot boy mentioned above who is very muscled) will be able to find an Akatsuki cloak that fits his chest. Or piercings for that matter, because he does not go slightly mad like I do and actually just pierce myself to make it more accurate. But either way, it should be good. ^_______^

I will get here before she does, to ask for theme four.

Also, to request that at some point you use the themes 'Handlebars' and 'At the Bottom of this Bottle.'

Coco will probably get those references. :)

Shut up you dirty thing. Flobots and All Time Low do not mix.

Ask our official theme giver.

"I can ride a bike with no handlebars, no handlebars, no handlebars..."

Wait, I can't ride a bike at all, especially without handlebars. Yikes.

You mean theme three? Ell-oh-ell.

Actually, that was theme four, considering the theme you gave, Yearning for the Sun, was included in there as well. ;)

*snickers*

Is that the, erm, cultured way of saying, "lol?"

Also, that theme makes me think of smut.

Well, well, well, who's mind's in the gutter now? T_T I, in no way, meant for it to be smex, but now that I think of it, it is a bit...suggestive. (visualizes Iruka's jaw slacked as he watches Temari shake in a slip) Oh dear, I just finished that theme in one sentence. O.O

Shut up you dirty thing. Flobots and All Time Low do not mix.

Who says? I agree with Super, so I shall give out the next themes before I forget, which I will after a while. :S

Theme Five: Love handles

Theme Six: "...At the bottom of this bottle..." -Must be used in the first and last sentence of the piece in any way.

Theme Seven: Green

Theme Eight: Disorderly conduct -Crime as a first/second category

Theme Nine: Satisfaction

Theme Ten: Team Ten -any member(s) can be used or referred to in the piece.

That should last for a little while...

DAC

-dead-

Then what was theme three? We had 'Yearning for the Sun', 'Water and Sand' then 'Slack. Shake. Slip.' I am so confused. D:

Which, ell-oh-ell (yes, the cultured way!) I got completely wrong. Blame Super-Sweet.

Well, imagine Flobots and All Time Low mixed together. It is like, brain murder. Good apart, but the love child would be horrifying.

Also, whilst we are at it with song-related themes; I suggest 'Eyelash Wishes', 'It's High Tide, Baby!' and 'I'd Give Up Forever (To Touch You.)'

Or, something to that affect...I juts feel like a banana not suggesting anything. ;_;

Oh, oh, I think I included, "Probability of solving a problem" as well, sorry for the confusion!

Ell-oh-ell?

*backs up slowly*

-is shot-

'Love handles', however, I am writing right now! I suddenly feel motivated!

(Either that, or I am avoiding doing actual work. Hohoho.) :D

Yup, most definite;y the latter. :D

Me, trying to finish a Ino/Juu, Sui/Whores, Sasu/**...I mean, Karin, concoction.

DAC

I actually like Karin. Also, with Sasuke/Suigestu/Juugo/Naruto/Kiba. If any of the latter two exist? I have odd taste, and I know many people do not like Karin at all. But I cannot help but find her...tempting. That, and freaking adorable with her odd hair and general pervertedness. Though for the life of me, I cannot explain why. :/

Concoction? Sounds like a delicious drink.

Well, I did read a Karin/Kiba, so it does exist. :O Karin is just...endearing and so up front with her convictions. She has made it quite clear that if the opportunity should arise, that she will rape Sasuke. Point blank. I just loved that coversation between her and Juugo in the manga, when she kept Sasuke's dirty shirt. She was such a pervy fangirl and he was oh-so innocent.

Yes, my concoction will be quite delicious. ;)

DAC

Karin/Juugo/Ino.

Idea. Eck.

Suigestu/Karin. :D

Both?

I hate not being good at English, it often makes things most confusing! But...I think I understand most of this. Karin / Kiba, I will have to look for. Hopefully it has been done in German too.

@ Coco

Karin/Juugo/Ino.

Idea. Eck.

I'm sorry, I must be confused. Do you like the idea, or are you disgusted by it?

@ Super

Suigestu/Karin. :D

Ah, the ever popular Team Taka pairing. Wait, what am I saying? Team Taka with themselves is a epic win. ;) I love writing those two together though, they're amazing.

@ Fabulous

Both?

I think so? :S Yes, I do think so, that'd be very dynamic...I may attempt it.

I hate not being good at English, it often makes things most confusing! But...I think I understand most of this. Karin / Kiba, I will have to look for. Hopefully it has been done in German too.

Oh no, I think you're doing...fabulously! The only Karin/Kiba on this site was in English and honestly, wasn't that well written. Sorry. :/ I'd write you one...but I don't know German. :S

DAC

I like the idea, which suprises me because my ideas have all been recorded lately apart from that one due to lack of good memory at the current time, hence the 'eck.' -ing.

As for Hey Fabulous, you know your English is not bad at all. You are just used to being very grammatically correct with it, unlike in German. Opposite for me, see? A plague for both of us, really.

Also, what is it with my English teacher? Of all the class, she assigns me as having to be the one to learn 'Sonnet 130' which could prove to be either interesting or extremely aggriving. By Friday, too. Oh God. I need more time as of late.

Learn, as in be able to recite it, or learn, as in comprehend it? Maybe she favors you or believes you're the only one who'll actually do it.

DAC

Learn: as in be able to recite. At least now I cannot go wrong with it?

Though, from what she tells us, many of his sonnets are supposed to be about men, or so it is said. 'Sonnet 130' is definately about a woman, but it makes me wonder. It was the first appearance of the Dark Lady, too. Or so I think. Will check that out, so do not take my word for it right now.

Maybe actually just thinks I am into Shakespeare in a huge way. Whilst I do like some of the other sonnets ('Sonnet 18', 'Sonnet 30', and 'Sonnet 126' mainly) and some of his staged works ('A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'Anthony and Cleopatra', and 'The Tempest' mainly) I am not really interested in him to the extent where I have to know absolutely all of his works well. 'Sonnet 130' actually rather disappoints me. Sure, it is him being sarcastic and hitting back at the blazons in a way, but nothing about it really strikes me. Plus, I do not think she knows any of this.

Oh well. I suppose I can deal with it, my partner got dumped with 'Homecoming' by Simon Armitage. I asked him about it at poetry live on Thursday, and he told me it was a love poem. I suppose both she and I were not pleased with the choices made, but never mind. It is over now.

(Plus, her? Favour me? She thinks I am flat out idiotic, although all of my coursework is A*. We actually take best on how long I will last in her lessons. Maybe she just thinks I do not work hard enough?)

Ah, well, while you aren't as enthused with Shakespeare, some do, or don't, share your thoughts. I think he is definitely creative, but some of his works *cough* Julius Caesar *cough* were misses for me. Or at least how he ended it. Then, a classmate of mine last year comes out with a project on a man who was before Shakespeare and wrote a story that could rival Romeo and Juliet, but because he died and never recieved credit for it, Shakespeare became the poetic genius, so go figure.

(Plus, her? Favour me? She thinks I am flat out idiotic, although all of my coursework is A*. We actually take best on how long I will last in her lessons. Maybe she just thinks I do not work hard enough?)

Or maybe that's what she wants you to think that, the hardest teachers are the ones that constantly test you the most, they can turn out to be the best. Or she's simply an **. They have those too. And I just found out today my Geometry teacher plays World of Warcraft online. His dork status went up exponentially. :O

At least you guys are somewhat okay with your choices and it happens to be for an English assignment.

Me? Well, I'm going to overthrow the co-presidents of my writers' club on the 11th. Ohoho, they so have it coming.

DAC

I am President of many non-existant clubs? Though I am the Captain of some sports teams. We do not have any non-sports clubs.

One of our resident cover teachers who is a specialist in art and drama is very cool. He listens to the same type of musics as I do and everything. Oh yes, and he lets me sing 'The Internet is for **' in history when he covers it. :D

Really? That's interesting, we have so many random clubs at my school, two do the same thing under different names. O.O

The "Moderator" of our writers' club is so cool. She's about 50-ish and dresses like a hip teenager and a respectable woman, and can pull both off. Plus she is normal and supportive without being peppy. The nonexistent stick up her ** is a plus. ;)

The Inernet truly is for **. In a study a few years back, there were studies showing that there were 36 billion websites and that 35 billion were ** sites. 8O How much ** is there needed???

DAC

Well, this could be based on the fact that:

1) A lot of guys cannot get any.

2) Most computer nerds cannot get any.

3) There are many, many men in the world who are very desperate and like to watch fake boobs.

Sad thing is, there are only 6 billion people and counting on the planet, and about half are male. Not every male has a computer or internet connection either.

So how does the amount of ** sites outnumber them by more than 10:1? :O Do they design them by fetish also? :/

...Ewww...

DAC

Well, men to ** are like pre-teenage fangirls to writing and breathing yaoi, I suppose.

...Ewww!

Though the writing could be just as bad. :O

DAC

I agree. But I'm a guy. Wait.

Excuse me a moment.

*sighs*

What'cha doing with that extra moment, hmmm Mr. Williams?

DAC

My thoughts exactly.

Lalala~ I updated again. Eight out of twenty-one down.

Nineeeeee.

I used that moment to cleanse my soul with prayer.

Also, to steal Coco's thunder - tennn. ;)

You know, I like IruxTema. Have been for so long. My friend and I even started a fanclub for them in DeviantArt. But it's been so long, I haven't checked the club in a long time (with my friend now MIA), so yeah, the club was abandoned. But I'm glad I found this forum, glad to know that there are other people who sees what we saw, who loves IruxTema like we loved them ^^

ArAshiMitArAshi, I am glad you came to this forum! Most people on this forum do not reply much now though, seeing as not many people have taken the challenge. If it is inactive, why not donate it to the club orphanage for somebody else to take control of?

I will manage it myself if I could, but sadly I don't know how. I was lazy back then, so my friend is the one who did all the work. I lost contact with her now. And I think I lose my ownership because I'd changed my account. I'll check it back and see what I can do.

You. Are. Amazing.

Huh? Huh? Huh?? What did I do? (you mean it in a sarcastic tone or just plain awed? XD)

Just plain awed. :)
