~ Sunagakure no Sato, late March ~
In a somewhat Japanese Traditional two story house in Suna, in a washitsu room, sat an old woman, drinking tea from a dark brown tea bowl, sitting at a low table, looking out at the sandy garden, through the open shoji door.
She had her grey hair almost reached her shoulders, her dark eyes held wisdom, and cheerfulness. She was slightly tanned from the weather, and had many wrinkles. She was 5'5", wearing a long tanned skirt, and a white blouse. Her feet were bare, so not to ruin the Tatami mat floor.
She heard a knock, and placed her tea bowl down, and stood. She slid open the Fusuma door, and put on her house slippers, before making her way towards the front door. At the Genkan, she slips off the slippers, and put on wooden getas, before stepping down from the raised floor, and sliding open the wooden front door.
There before her was a man, behind him are six children, she knew very well. There was four boys, and two girls.
The oldest boy, had almost shoulder length red hair, and grey eyes. He was quite tall for the age of twelve, he wore an open white shirt, with a black t-shirt under it, jeans, and sneakers. Using one arm, he was holding the youngest out of all the children, and the youngest girl.
She was small for a five year old, and had just past shoulder length pink hair, curled into ringlets, and big green eyes. She wore Gothic Lolita, which was a white lace petticoat under a knee-length black skirt, a black victorain-style blouse with lace trim, and lace-capped sleeves, with bat stud earrings, knee length black socks, and Mary Jane flats. One of her arms was around the older boys neck, while the other held her grey bunny with brown eyes, wearing a mini black top hat, and a black waist coat.
Holding the boy's free hand, was the youngest of the boys. He too was five years old, and had somewhat spiky, messy red hair. His eyes were a light turquoise, and ringed with black shadows. He wore black pants, sneakers, and a long sleeved red top.
Holding the young boy's other hand, was the oldest girl. She was seven years old, with her sandy blonde hair up into four ponytails, and had teal eyes. She was wearing a black knee-length skirt, a short sleeved purple top, knee length striped black, and purple socks, and black sneakers.
On her other had was a ten year old boy. He had messy red hair, and big brown eyes. He wore a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up, black pants, and sneakers. He held with his free hand, the last boy. He was seven years old, with somewhat messy brown hair, and dark eyes. He wore a black t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.
Beside the children was about twelve suitcases.
"Sabaku Chiyo?" The man asked.
"Hai." Chiyo answered, wondering why this man had her grand-children.
"I'm sorry to inform you, but your son, and daughter-in-law, have died in a car crash. You are now the legal guardian of your six grand-children, till Sabaku Nagato turns the age of twenty. Again I'm sorry for your loss." He bowed to her, before walking to the car in front of the house, and leaving.
Chiyo felt the air leave her lungs, and tears came to her eyes. She looked at her grand-children in front of her, and stopped herself from breaking down. She had to be strong to take care of them. She could cry later, when they were all asleep. She forced a weak grin, as she looked at them.
"Well let's not stand here all day. You must be tired from the long travel from Konoha, so let old Chiyo-baa-san make you some nice tea." She said, letting them enter the genkan, as she took hold of some of the suit cases.
The oldest, Nagato, placed his sister down, and helped his Grand-mother with the suit cases, as his younger brother helped the younger children take off their shoes, and place them in the getabako, before putting slippers on, and standing them on the raised floor.
~ 10 years later, Sunagakure no Sato, Mid-March, Monday, 6:20 pm ~
In a somewhat Japanese Traditional style two story house, in a kitchen, with wooden counter tops, wood cupboards, with a built in gas-stove, with a fish grill. In front of the window, was the sink, with a metal dish rack. On the counter top was a silver rice cooker, a silver microwave oven, a electric toaster oven, and a wooden copping board. Fixed on the wall was the water boiler, and placed next to it was the silver refrigerator. There was a round table, with four chairs in the corner of the kitchen, but it wasn't enough for the family of seven.
The kitchen was painted a light cream, and the floors was wooden.
A woman of around the age 73, with shoulder length grey hair, dark eyes, wearing a long tanned skirt, white house slippers, and a sandy brown blouse, about 5'5", was putting on the rice cooker, before she started to grill some fish. Cutting up some vegetables at the copping board, was a 22 year old man, with grey eyes, and shoulder length red hair, he was 6'7", lean, toned, a bit lanky, and pale, which was strange for living in a place like Suna. He wore a black band t-shirt, with a partly open white shirt, black pants, and white house slippers. Pressed to his ear was the house's cordless phone.
"Konoha? You want me to move all the way to Konohagakure no Sato? The reason I worked for you Pein, is because you let me work long distance. What am I meant to do with my younger siblings? Leave them here with Sasori, and Baa-sama? I'm their guardian, Pein." He growled in the phone, cutting the vegetables harder, to let out his anger.
"I need you here, in Konoha. And I will need Sasori too. And before you go on about your not leaving your younger siblings with your Grand-mother, remember you are their guardian, which means you can bring them with you, Nagato. Then Chiyo can have some peace, without Temari trying to kill Kankuro." Pein's calm, and deep voice came across the phone.
"But Temari, and Kankuro are going to start their Third year in April, and Gaara, and Sakura already passed the entrance exam for Suna's high school. We've most likely missed the ones in Konoha. And what about their friends?" Nagato asked, trying to think of something to stop from moving, as Chiyo took the cut vegetables to cook, and he cleaned the knife, and copping board.
"Konoha Academy hasn't given their entrance exam yet. It's a good school, Jugo goes there, and Moegi goes to their Elementary school there. Anyway, doesn't Temari have a boyfriend down here? Doesn't Kankuro have, about 2 friends, that he isn't even that close with? And don't Gaara, and Sakura have no friends?" Pein asked, shooting down every excuse Nagato came up with.
"What about a house? School is all nice, and good, but it's nothing without a house." Nagato said, feeling a little smug, that because of that Pein may not make him move.
Pein knew Nagato didn't have enough to buy a house, big enough for the six of them in Konoha.
"That's why I bought you a house, like the one your living in now, but in Konoha. It's walking distance to the train station, prefect for Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, and Sakura to get the train to nearer the school. You know I wouldn't be asking, if I didn't need the both of you here. I know how much you don't like Konoha, but Nagato, I need both of you here." Pein told him.
Nagato sighed, in defeat. Knowing he wouldn't be able to come up with another excuse, and because of the guilt from what Pein said, he wouldn't be able to say no.
"Fine, we'll move to Konoha. But you better make sure, the house has everything we need." Nagato told him.
"Of course, Nagato. See you in a week."Pein said, with a smirk in his voice before hanging up.
"A week?" He shouted, putting the phone back on in it's place. "He wants me there in a week? Shimatta. How am I meant to tell them?"
"Calm down, and think happy thoughts, like how Sasori will act like when he finds out." Chiyo told him.
Nagato chuckled, before a smirk took over his face.
"Nii-chan!"
Nagato looked up in time to see his youngest sister, throwing herself at him. He caught her, and held her so she was resting on his hip, like when she was younger. His youngest brother leaned in the door frame watching his twin, and older brother.
Though Sakura was 15 years old, she was only 4'8", and acted child-like. Her waist length pale pink hair, was curled into ringlets, and she had a headband with a black bow on the right side. She was wearing a white petticoat, with a knee-length black skirt over it, a ruffled black victorian-style blouse with sleeves that stopped just passed her elbows, black tights, black metal skull studs, black lace fingerless gloves, and house slippers. She had a tattoo of the kanji for 'Love' on the inside of her right wrist, in red. While one arm was wrapped around Nagato's neck, the other held her grey bunny with brown eyes, wearing a mini top hat, and a black waist coat, named Usa-chan. She was pale, lean, and had soft but defined curves, with normal sized breasts. She wore black eyeliner, and a soft pink lipstick.
Gaara was 5'9", pale, lean, and toned. His light turquoise eyes were still ringed by black. His hair was longer then when he was younger, he now had some of his somewhat spiky, and messy hair falling into his eyes. You could just see the hint, of the red tattoo of the kanji for 'Love' on the left side of his forehead. He had three metal studs in his left ear, and two in his right. He wore a tight black long sleeved top, with a red t-shirt on top, skinny black jeans, a red, and black studded belt, a studded bracelet on his right wrist, and an arm band on his left wrist, a black cross necklace, and house slippers.
"We didn't know you was home yet, Nii-chan." Sakura said, speaking for her, and her older twin.
"Gomen, I didn't say I was home, I had to talk to Pein." Nagato said, as he placed his sister down.
"What about?" She asked, tilting her head to the right.
Both twins noticed Nagato tensed a bit, and how an emotion flickered over his face, to fast for them to tell what it was. While Sakura didn't show a reaction, Gaara narrowed his eyes a bit. Both knew something was wrong. They knew it, when they heard him shout, and him tensing just confirmed it.
"Oh, nothing to worry about." Nagato shrugged, trying to play it off.
That made Gaara's eyes narrow more, and Sakura a slight frown on her normally smiling face. The only time their older brother, says 'nothing to worry about' meanings he is worrying, or he doesn't like what is going to happen, or both.
"Dinner will be ready in about an hour, why don't you two go and watch one of your Animes?" Chiyo said, saving her grand-son from anymore questions, he didn't want to answer at the moment.
"Okay, Baa-sama." Sakura chirped, with a smile, like nothing happened, before she skipped to Gaara, and grabbing his left hand, and leding him to the western style living room.
"Arigatou, Baa-sama." Nagato thanked, as he sat down in one of the chairs.
"No problem." She grinned, as she stirred the vegetables.
The living room was styled to look like a western living room. It was painted a darker cream then the kitchen, and had paintings of land scapes on a few of the walls, in black, and white. It was wood floor, with a cream rag in the middle of the room. The couch was big, comfy, and was black leather, the same black leather of the second counch, and the two arm chairs. The low table, in the middle of the room, was stained black. They had a 52" T.V, with a DVD player, X-Box, WII, and a PS3 was hooked up to it, with DVDs, and games on wooden shelves beside it.
While Gaara laid sidewards on the couch, Sakura placed one of their DVDs on, before placing her slippers in from of the couch with Gaara's, and laying down in front of him but moving so her head rested under his chin, as she place Usa-chan in front of the couch.
Gaara wrapped his arms around her waist, and moved his head a bit so he could see the T.V better. If people didn't know they were twins, they could be mistaken as a couple, because of how close they were. It had happened many times in the past, when they were walking around town, they could hear people making comments about how they made a cute couple.
Of course the twins didn't try to correct them. In their minds it was better for people to think they were a couple. Growing up they had only each other as friends, because none of their siblings was that near their age, they hardly saw them at school, and none of the other children, when they were young, wanted to be friends with them. So they were left in their own little world, where it was just them. Because of that they became very protective, and possessive of the other, but also able to understand the other with one glance. When the other children wanted to be their friends, the twins ignored them, as they were happy as they were, and Gaara didn't approve of any of the children who wanted to be their friend. And what Gaara didn't approve of, Sakura didn't do. It was the same with Gaara, anything Sakura didn't like, or approve he wouldn't do.
Because of their relationship, their older siblings worried they would never get any friends, or ever get married. Though only Temari was upset that her youngest siblings wouldn't get married. For Nagato, Sasori, and Kankuro it was great that they didn't have to worry about boys trying to go out with their baby sister.
Nagato looked up, as his silently fuming younger brother entered the kitchen, and began to pace.
Sasori was 20, with messy red hair, falling into his brown eyes. He was lean, toned, with a slight tan, and he was 6'0". He wore a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, with a red scorpion on the pocket, black pants, and house slippers.
"Konoha? He wants us to move to Konoha? Where I have to be near that brat? He will make me want to kill myself in a day of being in the same village of him. He may be my best friend, but he is an annoying little blonde brat." Sasori ranted in a hiss.
Nagato just leaned back in his chair, knowing it was better to let him rant. He knew Chiyo would make a comment that would make he do something slightly crazy.
"Just think of all the fun you'll have with Deidara, Sasori?" Chiyo said. "I'm sure Sakura with be happy. Deidara always had a soft spot for her. Just think you'll be able to see him everyday."
Sasori stared at his grand-mother in horror, as scenes entered his mind.
Sasori walks down the hallway, ready to give in his paperwork.
"SASORI-NO-DANNA! YEAH!" Deidara exclaims, as he glomps the poor red head, making all the paperwork go flying to the floor, as the blonde began to talk about his art.
The scene changes to the middle of a meeting.
"SASORI-NO-DANNA! UN!" Deidara shouts, jumping out of his seat, and glomping the poor red head, wrapping his legs around the shorter male, as he bagan to talk about the true meaning of art, as he waved his arms around, like it proved a point.
The scene changed again to the middle of a supermarket.
Sasori is standing innocently, picking up some eggs.
"SASORI-NO-DANNA! YEAH!" Deidara screams glomping the poor poor fuming red head, making him drop the eggs, and then Sasori land on them, with Deidara sitting on him, talking about how Sasori didn't know anything about art.
The scene changed, to a house like the one they lived in now, but in Konoha.
"SAKURA-CHAN! UN!" Deidara called in glee, glomping the poor cute pinkette, and filling her head with lies about true art, and making her hate Sasori's art.
The scene changed again, to just himself, and Sakura.
"Art is a bang, Sasori-nii." She says smiling.
"He'll ruin her mind." Sasori breathed in horror, before leaving the kitchen, and heading to the living room, to his youngest, and favorite sibling.
Nagato could only shake his head, not knowing who his brother was talking about, while Chiyo chuckled.
Sasori entered the living room, and both twins looked up. He grabbed Sakura by the shoulders, forcing her to sit up, making Gaara glare at him.
"Don't ever listen to Deidara, he is a very stupid brat, and knows nothing about art. Do you understand?" He asked, slightly shaking her.
"But Dei-chan is funny." She pouted.
"He may be funny, but he is very stupid. So don't ever listen to him, okay?" Sasori asked.
"Okay, Sasori-nii." Sakura said.
It was then Sasori noticed Gaara's glare of death, and let go of Sakura. Gaara quickly pulled her back to where she was before Sasori came in, and Sasori took a seat in one of the arm chairs with a sigh.
He wondered if there was anyone, Gaara approved of in Konoha. He thought it would be nice for the twins to have friends, as long as Sakura didn't get a boyfriend, then he was happy. He smirked to himself, thinking of what Gaara would do to Deidara, if he tried to hug Sakura to much.
"Temari! Kankuro! Dinner!" Chiyo shouted, as Nagato, Gaara, Sakura, and Sasori took their places sitting it at the low table.
Kankuro raced in first, and took his place next to Gaara, and Nagato. He was 6'3" with somewhat spiky brown hair, dark eyes, and slightly tanned skin. He was lean, toned, and slightly muscular. He wore black skinny jeans, a black band t-shirt, a studded belt, a studded bracelet, a chain necklace, and house slippers.
Temari came in next, and took her place between Sakura, and Chiyo. She was 5'6", with a curvy, toned, and lean body. She had quite large breasts, and was slightlytanned. She had her sandy blonde hair up in four ponytails, teal eyes, and her ears pierced in two places. She wore a black skinny bondage jeans, a purple t-shirt with a black skull on it, a purple, and black stud belt, fish-net gloves, over-knee black socks, two studded bracelets, and house slippers.
"Itadakimasu." Everyone said before they began to eat.
Nagato was giving off slightly tense vibes. He knew he had to tell Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, and Sakura about moving to Konoha, but he couldn't think up a way too. Luckily Sasori knew that, and knew just how to tell them.
"We're moving to Konoha Saturday." He said, before picking up his rice bowl in his left hand, and bringing it closer to his mouth.
Nagato stared at him in shock at how bluntly he just told them, while Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, and Sakura looked up. Chiyo ignored her grand-children, and carried on eating.
"Why?" Sakura asked tilting her head to the right, her chopsticks left forgotten next to her plate.
"Pein needs Sasori, and I at the main establishment. So we have to move to Konoha. I'm not leaving you here, and the entrance exam for Konoha Academy hasn't been done yet, so you should be able to get in there." Nagato explained, over coming his shock.
Gaara nodded showing he understood, and carried on eating, Sakura saw that, and picked up her chopsticks and carried on eating, knowing that her twin would never act so nonchalant about it, unless he was completely fine with what was about to happen.
"Your sure we can get into Konoha Academy?" Temari asked, remembering Shikamaru telling her that he went to Konoha Academy.
"Hai." Nagato assured.
Temari nodded to herself, and carried on eating. Kankuro looked at his siblings, before shrugging to himself, and carried on eating.
~ Sunagakure no Sato, Friday, 11:45 pm ~
Sakura sighed, as she rolled on to her back. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep. She got out of bed, and shivered when the cold Suna air hit her bare legs. Only wearing underwear, and a white lacey knee-lenght night dress, she walked to the other bed in the room, were her favorite red head was laying on top of the covers wearing black pajama bottoms, and nothing else.
She climbed on his bed, and sat on his thighs, and looked down at him. He opened his light turquiose eyes, and placed his hands on her hips, before meeting her eyes.
"Gaara, I'm scared." She whispered, before lowing her eyes, and tilting her head slightly to the side, showing her neck.
He knew when she didn't add the 'Chan' to his name that she dropped the mask she used around everyone but him. It was a way to protect themselves. They had come up with it when they were young, as they were more intelligent then most people their age. Sakura acted childish, cheerful, naive, and seemly unaware, and people talked freely with her, even if she wasn't one of their friends, that way they could get alot of useful information to use later on. Her acting like that also made them pay less attation to him, and Gaara hated attation, unless it came from Sakura.
"Why?" He asked, as he rubbed circles on her hips, with his thumbs.
"What if someone tries to come between us?" She asked, inwardly glaring as she thought of all the fangirls who may try to come after HER Gaara.
He chuckled softly, bringing one hand to her neck, using it to bring her down, and kissing her lightly on her forehead, before resting his forehead on hers.
"No one can come between us." He told her. "It's us against them. Remember it will always be us, against them, and I wont let anyone try to take you away from me."
Sakura smiled, knowing it was true. No one would be able to take her away from Gaara, he wouldn't let them. Though she knew it was true, she had a feeling something was going to change when they went to Konoha, and she didn't know if it was going to be a good change, or not.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" She asked, knowing she wouldn't be able to sleep in her own bed alone.
He nodded, and she climbed off his lap, and got under the covers. Gaara followed her under the covers, and pulled her to him.
~ Sunagakure no Sato, Saturday, 7:00 am ~
Sasori groaned, as he buried his head in his pillows. He hated the sun. He leaned up enough to see the clock, before falling back on his bed with a bigger groan.
He knew he had to get up. He knew he had to get his siblings up. He knew he had to pack the suit cases in the car. He knew he had to drive all the way to Konoha. He knew all that but he didn't have to like it. He sat up, and stretched like a lazy cat, before getting out of the bed. He flinched slightly when he put his bare feet on the floor. He quickly put on his slippers, before heading out of his room.
His blue pajama bottoms were low on his hips, and he had to put his white vest right, as he turned left, and head to where Temari's, and Kankuro's room were. He slid open Kankuro's room first, in time to see his brother pull down a clean black band t-shirt, and zip up his last suitcase.
"You should start loading them into the cars, before you have breakfast." Sasori told him.
"Sure." Kankuro nodded, picking up a few, and walking passed Sasori, turing left down the hall, and down the stairs.
Sasori yawned, and walked across the hall to Temari's. He slid open the down, to see only blonde hair sticking out of her purple blankets. He walked over, and ripped off her covers, making her shiver, as she was wearing only her purple pajamas, what were really a tank top, and shorts. She curled into a ball, and pulled her pillow over her head.
"Temari, if you do not get out of this bed now, we'll leave you here, and tell Shikamaru that you were to lazy to come." Sasori told her.
She screamed into her pillow before getting up, grabbing her clothes, and running towards their western style bathroom.
Sasori then walked passed his room, and towards Gaara's, and Sakura's room. He wasn't at all surprised when he slid it open to find his brother, and sister curled up together. It was a normal sight. He didn't know why they had two beds when they mostly slept in one bed.
He walked in, and made his way toward Gaara's bed. He put a hand on Gaara's shoulder, and shook it lightly.
Gaara sleeply opened his eyes, and blinked them abit to get used to the light. He felt something soft on his chest, and looked down to see the top of Sakura's head, and smiled slightly, it was then he became aware of the hand on his shoulder, he looked up to see Sasori's smirking face.
"Come on, wake up. You got to get your suit cases in the cars, and eat breakfast before we can go." He told Gaara.
Gaara nodded, and Sasori left, knowing Gaara would wake Sakura.
Sasori went to his room, and got ready in jeans, and a black t-shirt. He grabbed his suit case, as he had put almost all of his suit cases in his car already. He walked down stairs, and headed for the front door, just as Nagato came back from running.
He was covered in sweat, had his hair up in a ponytail, and was panting still.
"You need a shower." He told him, as he passed, putting on wood getas before going out to his car, and placing his suit case in the back, before heading back in for breakfast.
After breakfast, Temari, and Kankuro went with Nagato in his car, and Gaara, and Sakura went in Sasori's, with him. Of course Sakura slept leaning into Gaara's side, as they drove to Konoha.
~ Saturday, 5:00pm ~
Sasori yawned as he pulled behind Nagato in front of their new home, all he wanted to do was sleep, but knew that wasn't going to happen when he saw the blonde man standing next to two orange haired men, and a blue haired woman.
He had some of his long blonde hair up in a ponytail, with some of his hair covering the left half of his face, with the rest going down to mid-back, his sky blue eyes were ringed with black. He wore a bright blue t-shirt, jeans, a studded belt, a dark blue hoodie, and blue converse. He was 6'4", lean, toned, and tanned.
Both of the orange hair men, were toned, lean, slightly tanned, and 6'7". One had brown eyes, while the other had grey eyes with the tint of purple. Both had spiky mid-length orange hair. The one with grey tinted purple eyes had many piercing on his face, and in his ears. The one with brown eyes wore jeans, with a few rips on his knees, a pale blue t-shirt, a black opened jacket, and sneakers, while the other man wore straight leg jeans, with a white shirt, that had the first two buttons opened, and sneakers.
The blue hair woman, had amber eyes, and had pale skin covering a lean athletic frame, with well defined curves, and just above average sized breasts, she was about 5'7". She wore white skinny jeans, an off the shoulder dark blue top, a silver belt, and white flats. Her hair was in a loose bun with a pale blue flower on the right side of her head.
"KO-CHAN!" Sakura shouted jumping out the car, and running into the woman's arms, with Gaara following behind her, calmly while shooting glares at the blonde man.
Sasori sighed, before getting out his car, already getting ready for what was to happen.
"SASORI-NO-DANNA! YEAH!" The blonde exclaimed before glomping the red head.
Sasori sighed again annoyed, his brows were furrowed, and he was debating if Deidara would leave him alone if he threw the blonde in front of an in-coming car, but knowing Deidara like he did, he would just follow the red head around with his crutches.
"Deidara." Sasori greeted pushing the blonde off.
"Pein! Yahiko! Konan! I didn't know you was going to met us here." Nagato said, as he got out of his car, with Temari, and Kankuro.
"Yeah, well Konan-chan wanted to see Sakura-chan, and Pein-nii couldn't say no." Yahiko laughed, as he hugged the red headed male.
"What about Deidara?" Nagato asked, amused, as he nodded to Pein.
"He followed us." Pein told him, as Deidara leaped, and glomped the pinkette, who had been let out of Konan's hold.
"Your so Kawaii, Sakura-chan, yeah." Deidara said, rubbing his cheek against hers, not at all caring about the disapprove most Japanese had about male-female touching in public.
Sakura put her hand in front of her mouth as she giggled, as Gaara glared at the blonde, counting down from ten in his mind, knowing when he hit one, he was going to throw the annoying blonde off his twin.
Temari hugged Konan, while Kankuro got ready to watch the show.
5...4...3...2...1 With that Gaara threw Deidara off Sakura, and pulled her into his arms, making sure no one else would try to take HIS Sakura from him.
Kankuro, Yahiko, and Nagato chuckled, as Pein, Temari, and Sasori smirked, and Konan, and Sakura put their hand in front of their mouths as they giggled, while Deidara groaned in slight pain.
"Come on, let's get you guys unpacked, and then get something to eat." Konan said, with a small smile.
Sakura nodded, and took Gaara's hand, and run to Sasori's car, to get their bags out the back, and the others followed their lead.
~ Saturday, 7:00pm ~
Nagato sighed happily as he sat in the new black leather couch, he closed his eyes, listening to the normal sounds of when his family, and his friends get together.
"KANKURO! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"STOP! IT WAS A JOKE! TEMARI!"
"Kankuro! Temari! Stop trying to kill each other, Konan-chans on the phone!"
"SASORI-NO-DANNA! YEAH!"
"Peaceful night, huh?" Pein said as he sat next to his best friend.
Nagato chuckled before he opened his eyes, and looked at the quietest members of his family were. Sakura was sitting between Gaara's legs with a stick of Strawberry pocky sticking out of the side of her mouth, as they read one of Sakura's mangas. Gaara had his chin on Sakura's shoulder, with his own strawberry pocky sticking out of his mouth, and his arms wrapped loosey, but protectively around her waist. Usa-chan was next to them, like normal. Both were ignoring what was going on around them.
Nagato shook his head, not knowing how his youngest siblings could block out everything. Before he could think more about it Yahiko slid the door open for an angry Konan who was holding the ears of Deidara, and Kankuro, who was followed by Temari, and Sasori.
Though if you glanced at her, you couldn't tell she was angry. You had to look in her eyes, to see the anger, and see the way she had her lips pressed almost tightly.
"Now you two are going to sit down, and be silent till it is either time for me to leave, or when I say you can move, and talk again, which ever comes first, do you understand?" She asked, in a calm voice, what scared you more, then an angry voice.
"Hai, Konan." They whimpered, as she let go of them, and they almost ran to one of the four black leather couches, and sat down.
Though the house Pein got was like the one they had lived in, in Suna, it was different at the same time. The living room was painted a deep red, and had dark wood floor, with a red rug. There was four black leather couches, two black leather armchairs, and a dark wood coffee table. They had the same T.v set up, as they had in Suna. They also had a few paintings on the wall, but they were mostly black, and white flower paintings, their friend Zetsu had picked out.
Konan then took a set next to Pein, as Temari, Yahiko, and Sasori sat last free couch.
"So, what's for dinner?" Nagato asked, a little nervous of Konan's rage.
"Sushi." She answered with a smile.
Nagato nodded, though inwardly he groaned. He didn't like sushi much, but Konan did, and he knew at a young age what ever Konan wanted she was going to make sure she got it. Because of that he had a healthy fear of his female best friend's rage.
~ Konohagakure not Sato, Sunday, 06:59 am ~
In a dark red painted room, with one wall painted black, there were two beds. Both had black, and red covers. One had the blankets, and covers messy, with a few soft-toys, inclueding Usa-chan at the bottom of the bed, in the other one was two bodies covered by the covers. Both beds had a dark wood bed-side tables, that had a black lamp on it. Only one of the bed-side tables had a red alarm clock.
On the walls were a few drawings of land scapes, flowers, their family, manga, and anime, as well as posters of different bands, and some anime, and manga characters. Stacked next to the empty bed, were many manga books, and C-Ds. On top of one of the chest of drawers was a C-D player, with a T.V next to it. On shelves above it, were more manga books, C-Ds, and DVDs. On top of the other set of drawers was a new large fish tank, with fourteen fish. Two Panda Moor, one Black Moor, one Fantail, four Shubunkin, and six common goldfish.
Both desks had papers on them next to a computar, and a lamp, with a black leather chair in front of the desk. The windows had heavy black curtains to keep the light out, and made the room almost pitch black. The only light coming from the red numbers on the alarm clock, and the light of the fish tank.
The beeping of the alarm clock filled the room, as the numbers turn to 7:00 am. A lean pale arm shot out from under the black blanket, and turned off the alarm, before pulling of the blanket, to show a sleeply Gaara, and a still asleep Sakura resting her head on his chest.
Gaara yawned, rubbing his eyes with one hand, as his other arm was still wrapped around Sakura's waist. He had had a crazy dream, were he was this powerful ninja that could control sand, and he was protecting Suna from Deidara, who was flying around on a clay bird. He shook his head, to get rid of the dream, before shaking Sakura's shoulder, making her groan, and move of him, before she curled in to a ball, and carried on sleeping.
Gaara already used to this, got out of bed, and walked to his closet to get out the days clothes. He pick out black skinny jeans, a tight long sleeved black top, and a red t-shirt with a black skull on it, before he grabbed clean underwear, and black socks for his chest of drawers, and slid open the bedroom door, and walked to the bathroom to have a shower, and get ready.
He walked back to his, and Sakura's room after 20 minutes, hearing Nagato waking up for his morning run. Nagato always ran in the mornings, though normal he would of already of been, and would be getting ready for the day, but Gaara guessed the move to Konoha took alot out of him. He entered the room, and walked back to his bed, and sat on it, tracing his fingers across her bare shoulder blades, that her night dress didn't cover, smirking slightly seeing her twitch, and try to cling to sleep.
"Come on Imouto, you need to get up." He whispered in her ear, pressing his still damp hair into the side of her face, smirking more, as she groaned a curse word at him. "If you get up, I'll buy you a new manga book."
That got her to open her eyes. It was one of her weaknesses, she loved manga. She glared slightly at him, for using it againsted her, before climbing out of the bed, and going to her closet getting her normal Gothic Lolita outfit, clean underwear, and over-knee black socks from her set of drawers, before she walked to the bathroom to shower, and get ready. How she hated mornings.
Gaara smirked watching his twin, before getting his studded bracelet, his arm-band, and his black cross necklace out of the draw of his bed-side table, and put them on, he went back to his closet, and pulled out a black, and red studded belt, and slipped it on, before opening the curtains. He opened the window a bit, and shivered a little.
Though Konoha was warm all the time, it was nothing like Suna's heat, and there for he felt a chill in the air. Though he was happy that they wouldn't have anymore freezing nights, he would miss the dry heat of Suna.
He didn't know how long he stood looking out the window, til two small, lean, and pale arms covered in black wrapped around his mid-drift, with hands resting slightly on his chest, covered with fingerless black lace gloves.
"So what are we going to do today?" Sakura asked, looking out from behind his arm, most of her pink hair was up in two pigtails, with some strands framing her heart-shaped face, like normal her hair was curled into doll-like curls.
"We'll need to get some new books for when we start Konoha's high school, and other school supplies. Plus it would be good to know our way around, and we can pick some other thing that catch our eye up." Gaara answered.
Sakura nodded.
"What do you know about Konoha?" He asked.
"Not much, about as much as you do. Though I do know Konoha is the main base of the Uchicha corp, Hyuga corp, and Momochi weapons, aswell of course Akatsuki corp. Konoha is meant to have the best medical care in the whole of Japan, and have some of the best schools. Konoha has little crime, thanks to the Uchicha police force." She reported, the little she bothered to look up.
"The Uchicha family runs both Uchicha corp, and the police force?" He asked, somewhat surprised.
It wasn't normal for one family to have that much power. No matter how rich they are.
"There were four sons born from the last Uchicha head. The oldest runs Uchicha corp, with the youngest brother working under him. The second oldest runs the Uchicha police force, while the last brother works for Akatsuki corps. There will be four Uchicha's in our new school, though there are five in our generation." She informed him. "Two are the oldest brothers son, another is the second oldest son, the last three are the sons of their cousins. The Uchicha family is more like a clan, though the numbers in the clan has gone down in the last three generations."
"Intresting." He said.
It was silent for some time, as the oldest twin went through the little information his sister had given him, only broken by Sakura's tuneless hums. There was a knock on their door, which made both twins look, they saw Nagato standing there wearing jeans, a band t-shirt, with a partly done up shirt over it.
"We're going shopping after breakfast, are you coming we us?" He asked.
"Sure, Nii-chan, it sounds fun." Sakura chirped, with a smile, easily going into her act.
Nagato just nodded, with a smile before leaving, most likely to get breakfast done.
"Let's go." Gaara said, pulling out of his twins arms, and heading to the door, Sakura on his left side, holding his arm, as he passed her bed, he picked up Usa-chan, and handed it to her.
~ Konohagakure no Sato, Sabaku house, 8:30 am ~
"Come on guys, I thought you wanted to go shopping!" Temari called from the Genkan.
She had already put her knee-high high heel platfrom boots on, that raised her height to 6'0". She wore black skinny bondage jeans, with a purple long sleeved top, that had a bat across her breasts, a studded belt, two studded bracelets on her right wrist, and fingerless leather gloves. Her leather jacket was held in her hands, and some of her sandy blond hair fell into her black lined teal eyes.
"We're coming." Kankuro said, heading towards his twin.
His jeans were more baggy then his normal skinny, or slightly skinny jeans, he wore a band t-shirt, with a studded belt, and bracelet, his chain necklace shined in the light, as he took off his house slippers, and placed them on the raise platform, before pulling out his black creeper shoes from the Getabako, he put them on before pulling his black hoodie of the coat peg.
A still sleepy Sasori followed him, and pulled on his black sneakers, and a black jacket over his white band t-shirt. He rubbed his eyes to try to be more awake, but knew the drive yesturday had wiped him out. Damn Nagato, he should of let me sleep in.
Nagato smiled at Sasori, before he pulled his jacket on, and then put on his sneakers. Gaara, and Sakura came as Sasori glared at Nagato. Gaara put on his converse, and his long black military style jacket, as Sakura put on chunky high heel mary jane shoes, raise her height to 5'0", and pull on her black coat, with a small fake black fur standing up collar, fake black fur around the cuffs, and hemline, and her black bat bag.
"Let's go." Nagato smiled, following Temari out with the others behind him.
~ Down town Konohagakure no Sato, 12:00 pm, Sunday ~
Gaara sighed, as he, and his twin dodged people as they walked the crowded streets of Konoha. Sasori had seen an art shop, and left them, with Kankuro following him, to get supplies for their next puppets. Nagato had seen a music shop, and told Temari to watch them, but Temari had seen her boyfriend, Shikamaru, and wondered off with him, and that left them wondering around their new home, lost.
While Gaara ranted in his mind, Sakura had let go of his arm, and stopped infront of a shop window. Over the shops door, and main window, was the the word Inuzuka Pet Shop. What had caught her eye was a shiba inu puppy. It was black, and tan, and the last one in the shop. She placed her hand against the glass, and smiled as the puppy licked the glass where she had placed her hand.
She knew then that she had to get it, and entered the shop.
Gaara run his fingers through his head, as he looked around the city square he had stopped, as he noticed his twin was gone.
Stupid! How couldn't I tell she wasn't there? Shouldn't I have noticed not having her warm hands gripping my arm? Where is she? While in his thoughts he paced, as he turned he knocked into a boy.
"Watch where you're going!" He snarled.
Gaara just glared at the boy, as he took in the boy, and his friends. The boy he knocked into, had some of his spiky blonde hair sticking out of his black cap, with a light grey skull on it. He wore a grey t-shirt, with a black design on it, black bondage jeans, a studded belt, a spiked bracelet, on his left middle finger was a skull ring, he had black sneakers, and he wore a black military jacket. He was 5'9", was tanned, with a lean, toned frame, dark blue eyes, and three whisker-like marks on each cheek.
Beside him, was a boy who looked the same as him, but his eyes were a lighter blue, and wore completely different clothes. He wore sneakers, jeans, a orange t-shirt, with the word Ramen printed in black arcoss the chest, a green gem necklace, and a orange, and black jacket. Behind the two blonde were two boys with black hair, though ones was tinted blue.
One boy was really pale, with shaggy inky black hair, and inky black eyes. He wore a purple t-shirt, with a black waist coat, and a knee-length leather coat over it, skinny black jeans, and sneakers. The boy next to him had shoulder length strands framing his face, as his hair spiked up in the back. He wore skinny black jeans, creeper shoes, a long sleeved black top, with a dark blue hoodie on top, with a red, and white fan on his back. His eyes were black, but when the light hit them, they were tinted red.
"Yami, I'm sure his sorry." The second blonde said.
"Hn." Gaara only said, for he was to annoyed with himself, and this boy, Yami, to say anything.
"I'll make sure his sorry." Yami said, clenching his fists.
Sasuke watched, as the red head clenched his fists, how his eyes clenched slightly in anger, how his jaw clenched, and his eyes darken. He was ready to stop the fight, as he could see the red head wasn't in the right mood for one of Yami's stupid fight, when a shout was heard.
"GAARA-CHAN!"
It was like a switch had been flipped, as the red head relaxed, and unclenched his jaw, and fists. His eyes lightened, and lit up with relief, happiness, and a tint of worry, as he turned toward where the female voice had came.
Running towards them was a pink haired girl, holding a shiba inu puppy in one arm, while the other held a bag, from their friend Kiba's mother's pet shop. She stopped in front of the red head panting a bit, as he took her bag.
"There you are Gaara-chan, I've been looking for you." She said beaming up at him, as she held the puppy in both arms.
He glanced at the puppy, before looking back at her.
"Oh," She exclaimed, getting what he wanted, though Naruto wasn't sure what it was, but Sasuke knew. "I saw him in the shop window, and he was the last one there, and he was really cute, I knew I had to get him. Don't you think he's cute, Gaara-chan?" She put the puppy closer to his face.
Gaara looked at the dog a bit, before looking at Sakura's hopeful eyes, and smirked.
"Cute." He muttered. "Name?"
"His name is Shukaku." She beamed, pulling her new put close to her chest.
He shook his head, as he patted hers. It was then she seemed to notice the four boys who had been watching in something close to shock, and surprise.
"Are these your new friends, Gaara-chan?" Sakura asked.
"No." Gaara answered, sending a small glare to Yami, who returned it.
"Gomen, we sort of ran into Gaara." Naruto said with a smile, after he gave a small bow.
"Oh, while I'm Sabaku Sakura, and you are?" Sakura said, before she bowed alittle.
"I'm Namikaze Naruto, that's my brother Yami, and our friends Uchicha Sasuke, and Uchicha Sai." Naruto said.
"Namikaze?" Sakura repeated in surprise, not knowing Deidara had siblings, or cousins, since he never told her.
Naruto frowned a little in confusion, about to question why she sounded so surprised, but was cut of by a yell, and a yellow, and blue blur attacking her.
"SAKURA-CHAN! YEAH!"
The blur turned out to be his older brother, Deidara, who was hugging the small girl from behind, and rubbing his cheek against hers. Gaara glared at the blonde, and just before he was going to throw him off his twin, Shukaku bit the blondes hand, making him let go with a yelp of pain, making Gaara smirk. Oh, how he loved that dog.
"Evil little monster, un." Deidara muttered, making Sakura glare at him.
"Dei-chan don't be mean to Shukaku-chan!" She scolded him, holding the puppy to her.
"SAKURA!" Another blonde blur came but this time mixed with black.
Temari held Sakura close to her chest, somehow being carefull of the puppy in Sakura's arms, as she hugged her sister, with Shikamaru behind her.
"My baby, are you alright?" She asked, as she moved Sakura at arms length to make sure she wasn't hurt.
"I'm fine, Nee-chan." Sakura chirped.
"After you left us, for your boyfriend." Gaara muttered, pulling his twin out of his older sister's grasp, and into his side.
Temari glared at him.
"Shikamaru?" Naruto asked in surprise, making Shikamaru look at him lazily.
"Naruto." He nodded.
Shikamaru was 6'0" with his black hair up in a spiky ponytail, and had brown eyes. Tanned skin covered a lean, and toned frame. He wore black jeans, a dark green t-shirt, a dark green hoodie with a deer on the back, and sneakers. His ears had one silver stud in each lobe.
"What are youn doing here?" Naruto asked.
"Looking for her troublesome siblings." He said nodding at Temari.
"Hey, Shika-chan." Sakura chirped.
Sasuke felt his eyes widen abit, they were siblings. All three of them, but he had been so sure that Sakura was Gaara's girlfriend.
"Where are the others meeting us?" Gaara asked.
"I'll text them to meet us here." Temari said, pulling her phone out of her pocket, it was a small silver flip phone, with a jack skellington phone charm on it.
"Naruto? Yami? What are you two doing here, yeah?" Deidara asked, now seemly aware that his younger brothers were there.
"We told you this moring..." Naruto began.
"We said we was going to hang out with Sai, and Sasuke, down town." Yami finished, with an annoyed sigh.
"I didn't know you had siblings Dei-chan." Sakura said, looking at the three blonde Namikazes.
"You never asked, yeah." Deidara said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Your not filling my Imouto's mind with your trash that you call art, are you Deidara?" Sasori asked, walking up to the group with Kankuro.
"Sasori-no-danna don't be so mean, yeah." Deidara whined.
"Hey, Sori-chan, Kanky-chan." Sakura said, making both of her big brothers look at her, and saw the dog.
"Where you get that?" Kankuro said nodding to the dog, as he bent down to get a better look at it.
"After Temari-nee left Gaara-chan, and I, we passed a pet shop, and I saw him in the window, so I left Gaara-chan, and got him. His name is Shukaku." Sakura said, with a bright smile, seemly unaware that she got Temari in trouble with her oldest brother, who had arrived in time to hear what she said.
"You left them alone." Nagato stated, sending a glare to Temari, who flinched alittle.
"I turned around for one second, and they were gone." Temari tried to defend herself.
"No, you ran after Shikamaru." Gaara said, making Temari glare at him.
Nagato sighed, before making sure neither of his younger siblings were hurt.
"Gomen, Deidara but we have to go, we've got to pick up school supplies for the twins." Nagato said, looking at the blonde man.
"Okay, I'll see you later, yeah." Deidara nodded, as Nagato led his siblings away, after Temari said goodbye to Shikamaru, and Sakura waved goodbye to Naruto, Yami, Sai, Sasuke, Deidara, and Shikamaru.
"Sakura-chan was cute." Naruto commented.
"Yeah, well that was the most likely the last time you'll ever talk with her, yeah." Deidara said.
"Why?" Sai asked, speaking up for the first time.
"Because Gaara doesn't like you." Shikamaru answered. "And whoever Gaara doesn't like, Sakura ignores. They won't be your friends, unless you can get Gaara's approval."
"How come?" Sasuke asked.
"Sakura-chan, and Gaara, was ignored by the children in their class when they were young, and none of their older siblings were that close to their age, so they never saw them at school, un. So they had to make their own world, where it was them, against everyone else. No one has been able to get into their world, yeah. And Sasori-no-danna thinks no one will ever." Deidara explained, as he watched the siblings disappear down the street.
Hey, this is my second Naruto fanfic. I'm hoping this will be better then my first one. Can you please give me your ideas on what the pairing should be? I'm open to any pairing, but to let you know Pein, and Konan are together. Also I was wondering if Gaara, and Sakura should have a secret, that they keep from everyone but each other, so if you think that is a good idead tell me, and give ideas of what the secret would be.
