Gaara's Sister: Kira
Age: 16
Special: Elements
I looked down on the scene. My older brother's body sat on the tree limb with two Naruto's holding him up. The grey haired guy sat on another branch with another Naruto. Finally down on the ground stood the real Naruto over a clay body. The fox's chakra seeping out of his body.
"Is that-"The grey haired sensei whispered. I smirked at the picture.
I leapt up off the branch, which held my weight quite well, to land without a known sound. I crouched low and crept toward the real Naruto without anyone knowing. My own demon's chakra seeping from me in a black ooze. I could hear his voice in my head.
This is perfect. The 9 tailed fox is letting the boy use his chakra willingly. I am most surprised.
I rolled my eyes at the voice and answered with my own.
Are you sure Naruto knows what he's doing. I know he's done this before but still… He looks a little out of control. Is this a good idea?
Yes. You alone can break his beast. I'm sure once the fox realizes who you are he will surge more power forth. We must both be ready.
Alright… Just so you know, I'm trusting you.
Understood. The voice chuckled.
My feet made no sound as I stood next to Naruto. He still had not noticed my presence; but his teacher did.
"Naruto! Watch out!" I ducked in time to dodge Naruto's swing. He was not himself. I would have to stop him before he grew another tail.
We spent half the forest just fighting with each other. Each kick and shove he threw at me I doubled back to him.
This is getting us nowhere.
At least you're keeping him busy. He hasn't grown another of the fox's tails…yet.
Thanks so much for the support.
Anytime. I could almost hear him smirking.
I groaned as a particularly strong kick sent me flying. When I gained more control over my movements I looked up at the sensei.
"This would be a great time to jump in if you want." He pulled something from his pouch and dodged Naruto's feet as they came flying toward him.
When the sensei got up close he stuck the tag on Naruto's forehead. Naruto immediately sank to the ground; all the Chakra dissipated.
"Who are you?" The sensei asked looking over at me. As my gaze reached my brother I saw the other Naruto's were okay now.
"I'm someone who's been gone for a long time."
"I meant your name."
"I know." I lowered my eyes to his one open eye, "To tell you the truth I'm not even sure I want to remember my name. I've been gone so long I've not had to use one."
You are whoever you say you are. A name doesn't change a person.
I wish it was that simple. My true name hasn't been used in years.
Then maybe it should be brought to the surface of these mortal's thoughts. Tell them whatever you wish it will not change anything.
Very true.
My thoughts wandered off to my real name. "My name is…Kira." A great weight lifted from my shoulders.
"Kira… You wouldn't happen to be related to him," The sensei waved a hand over to Gaara, "would you?" I smiled at him.
"I was taken away from Suna when I was a toddler. Actually, an orphanage found me when one of the older girls was out washing clothes. They didn't want anyone to know about me when I finally told them who I was so they kept me a secret. I had to hide a lot when everyone came to the exams. That was the first time I had saw my siblings for a very long time."
"Wait, so you've been in the village all this time?" The grey haired sensei asked startled.
"Yup. Quite surprising isn't it. Can you believe what a shock it was when I saw my brother's powers? I can control sand like my brother but I can also manage all the other elements too." At that moment the pink haired girl and the elderly woman hobbled in looking a little worse for wear.
"Sakura! Lady Chiyo! Are you two alright?" The sensei asked. Sakura sat the Lady down and spoke in a ragged voice.
"Yeah, we saw the ground split open and rushed over here as fast as we could." I could tell, as I walked away, that they were speaking about me.
My eyes wandered as Sakura talked to 'Kakashi' as I now knew. They locked onto my brother's lifeless body and I wandered to where he lay. My feet carried me over to him slowly; As if, in hopes, it would give him enough times to open his eyes.
"Gaara, I'm sorry my brother. I should have come sooner. I'm so sorry Gaara." The two Naruto clones gasped in shock.
"You're Gaara's sister?" I looked up at them both.
"Yeah, I disappeared as a girl and was never found. Although I still had the feeling he never stopped looking for me. We were always the closest, age wise and all. Out of the four of us I seemed to understand him the most."
Yeah, because you were EXACTLY like him. In more ways than one. His voice chuckled.
Shut up. I guess I always missed him. He was my favorite brother.
I leaned back against a tree near the edge of the field. Naruto and the others brought him here to show to the others. After Deidara tried to blow us up again of course. Kakashi saved us on that one too.
Tears started to well up in my eyes as I realized Sakura couldn't do anything. I lost him; as soon as I found him, I lost my brother. I tensed up as Chiyo dragged herself forward to Gaara's body. Her hands trembled as she performed a jutsu.
I could tell Naruto began to feel tired as well. The drain of Chakra took its toll. I stood and crossed over to my brother's body.
"Here." I sat on Naruto's lap, not really thinking of it at the time, and rested my hands over his. Chiyo sucked it up almost instantly.
"Thank you, child. It has been a pleasure to have known you Naruto. And to have met you, young girl." His face crunched up in confusion. He didn't know this was a forbidden jutsu.
"As it has been to know you Lady Chiyo." I spoke for him knowing he could not. She gave a pain filled grimace as an attempt at a smile. "Thank you." I whispered. Chiyo nodded.
As the Lady fell back into Sakura's arms my brother stirred. It was at this time I realized others were arriving as well.
"I have to go." Naruto grabbed my hand.
"Why? Gaara's gonna wake up!"
"That's why I have to go. If he sees me what is he going to think?" He was silent, "Yeah."
"If you go I'll tell him." I froze. I spun so quickly Naruto had to take a step back.
"Fine! Do whatever you want! I'm not staying." I leapt from tree to tree until I was sure I was far enough away to watch but not be found.
Gaara sat up to a procession of sand ninja. After all the commotion Naruto stood up.
"HEY! I have to say something important!" (For once...)He called out and everyone fell silent.
Oh, god he's gonna do it!
Naruto turned to Gaara.
"Gaara, did you have a little sister?" Everyone was soundless. Temari stepped forward.
"Who told you that?" Naruto took four GIANT steps back and took a deep breath.
"She did. She was standing over Gaara's body when he was still…dead. She said she was sorry she was too late." Kankuro grabbed Naruto's shoulders.
"When did you last see her?" Naruto looked over at Kakashi.
"Just a few minutes ago actually. She said she needed to leave before you got here or Gaara woke up." Kakashi nodded in agreement. Kankuro was the first one to activate again.
"AND YOU DIDN"T STOP HER?" He screamed. Naruto fell back in shock.
"I-I didn't know she had been missing for so long." He stammered. I sniggered behind my hand. Big Mistake.
Gaara's head whipped around so fast I thought he would get whiplash.
"What is it Gaara?" Temari asked.
"She's still here." He answered in a monotone voice. But underneath the monotone I could hear the slightest bit of worry.
"Crap." I hissed under my breath and leapt up higher into the tree. Unfortunately that didn't help because I suddenly saw sand rising up at me.
"What the-"I cried out, making Gaara smile, (to himself of course.) "How in the world did you get sand in here? There is NO sand ANYWHERE! This is sad." I mumbled as the blanket of coarse sand carried me into Gaara's lap. I looked up at him from my sitting place, "What's up my brother?"
"The Sun."
"Ha ha very funny."
"I knew you'd like that." He smirked down at me. Suddenly I was on my feet with Temari staring at me.
"Helloo…" I mumbled giving her an odd stare. She was suddenly crying, holding me in her arms.
"Oh god! I thought you were dead! We all did." She sobbed. I grimaced and patted her back,
"Uh… SURPRISE!" I put my hands up giving a weak smile. Temari glared at me pulling back.
