The Kazekage and his Bride
It was a sweltering day in the village of Sunagakure as lord Kazekage was taking a stroll through the village. As he was strolling through the village, he was hearing his thoughts talk to him. 'Ever since I was crowned as lord Kazekage, I haven't seen…her…since then. That beautiful woman…the woman who loved me for my true being…Emerald…I long for you so much…I still love you'. When he had finished his stroll, he walked back to the Kazekage's Mansion and walked to the throne room. He sat on the throne and tried to remember what Emerald had looked like. He hasn't seen her in at the most; five years. He had a sudden flashback;
On the day the sand siblings left the village of Konohagakure, Shikamaru Nara was wishing them a safe trip. They said thanks and started for Sunagakure. "WAIT! Gaara WAIT!" Emerald shouted. Gaara turned around to find Emerald darting towards him. "What is it, Emerald? What's wrong?" he asked her when she stopped in front of him. She embraced him; tears were streaming down her face. When he gently pulled her away from his neck, he caressed her face and wiped the tears away. "I know what you're trying to say Emerald…I'll miss you too." He whispered to her. She smiled and gave a photograph of them together. "Take this to remember me by…" she whispered in his ear. When she had placed the photograph in his hands, there was also a locket. It was in the shape of a heart. The stone in the center was a beautiful true sapphire; with a border of gold. "Emerald…-" he said but was cut off by his brother's broad hand on his shoulder. "I'll miss you…Emerald" he whispered to himself; as the tears of anguish had fallen from his face;
He ran into his bedroom and pulled out the photograph from a photo album. The photograph has not yet worn from the years he has kept it in the very album. "Oh my god…she was so beautiful. I wonder how much she has changed?" he asked to himself. He had enough at just staring at the photo. He wanted to gaze at the real woman. "Guards, could you come here please?" he summoned. They immediately responded and entered the room to see the Kazekage gazing into a photograph. "Yes, lord Kazekage, what is it you wish?" the guards had asked him. Gaara looked up from the photograph, and handed it to the guards. "Find me the one named Emerald," "Has she done something wrong, Lord Kazekage?" "No, she is but an innocent woman that I wish to see again because I've been missing her for so long…" "As you wish lord Kazekage." they responded and headed out for Konohagakure. Gaara looked out his bedroom window into the skies. He then felt the locket on his neck and he just smiled because he was longing to see his love again.
In the village of Konohagakure meanwhile…
Emerald was strolling through the peaceful village as people were happily talking while doing everyday things. Emerald was smiling but not a very noticeable smile. As she heard laughter come from the people around her, she was but lost in thought. She was angst on the inside, but she had a way of hiding it so she had never bought attention to herself. When she returned home, she went to take a shower to try to wash away the pain of angst. When she finished, she brushed her hair and put on a fine black kimono; with ruby edges and a ruby obi. She suddenly heard someone knocking on her door. She quickly went downstairs and answered the door. "Hello?" "Are you the one called Emerald?" two guards asked. "Yes, I am, but please tell me, what village are you from?" She asked them. They held out their hands and responded "You have yet to find out. Come with us please." they said, taking her to Sunagakure. She was quiet the whole trip there.
When they returned to Sunagakure, the guards took her to the Kazekage's mansion. Emerald was bewildered by the sight of Suna. "Please stay here." the guards commanded Emerald. She nodded and just stood at the area she was at. The guards walked into the throne room to Lord Kazekage. "Lord Kazekage, Emerald is here, just as you commanded." informed the guards. Gaara nodded and smiled. "Please, bring her in." he replied. "Yes lord Kazekage." the guards responded. They walked back into the main hall. "Miss Emerald, lord Kazekage wishes to see you." they commanded Emerald. She nodded and quietly walked into the throne room. 'She's-She's even more beautiful than I ever imagined!' Gaara's thoughts screamed to him. "It has been a while Emerald, you have but changed since we last saw one another." The Kazekage complimented Emerald with adoration. Emerald recognized the voice. It was that voice. 'It's him!' Emerald shouted to herself. "Gaara, is it really you?" Emerald asked astounded by how much he has changed. "Your voice has grown deeper, G--I mean Lord Kazekage." affirmed Emerald. Gaara suddenly saw her raven black hair was not but shorter than in the picture. "Your beautiful hair--It's shorter than the last time I saw you Emerald." Gaara remarked, but he smiled anyway "But I'm not complaining about it" he added to his remark. Emerald just stood there-smiling. Gaara then stood up, walked over to Emerald, took in her scent, caressed her face, and embraced her tightly. Emerald wrapped her arms around him as he kissed her cheek; with the tears of joy falling from both of their eyes. "I've longed to see you ever since I became Kazekage." He whispered in Emerald's ear. "I have missed you so much." Emerald whispered. Gaara stroked her slender figure and licked her neck. "Emerald…I love you more than anything…but do you still love me after so long?" Gaara questioned Emerald. Emerald looked at him and smiled. "Of course I still love you, lord Kazekage." "Emerald...please do not call me Lord Kazekage, call me by name." he replied to Emerald. She smiled as Gaara picked her up, carried her over to the throne, sat her in his lap, and cuddled her. She kissed him. He kissed her back; his tongue asking for entrance in her mouth. His tongue examined every inch of her mouth and found her tongue. He wrapped his tongue around hers while she moaned into his mouth. The kiss had lasted about five minutes. Gaara broke the kiss and started kissing Emerald's neck. She smirked as Gaara was doing this. When he had reached the base of her neck he placed his head there as if he was claiming her for himself. His broad hands wrapped around her waist; rubbing her slender, curved back. "Gaara, you're the Kazekage, I'm just an average woman who shouldn't even be he--" "I summoned for you because…I want you to stay with me and be my wife, Emerald." "Gaara, I--did you just say wife?!" Emerald asked Gaara with a sound of shock in her voice. "That's right, Emerald. I want you…" Gaara started breathing heavily on her neck "I want you to be my wife… and be with me…forever… so, what do you say?" "Gaara…I…,"
