You are the best of the best, you can do anything, kill anyone, and accomplish any task your Kazekage demands of you. In fact, you are on your way to his office now, but not to see him, to see his brother. You visit his brother so often that the whole village, including his sister, think that you two are an item. You don't know he feels about that, but you could gag at the very idea! You mean, over the years, you have a kind of bond with him, like a brother/sister type bond, but, there is no way you could date him! The reason you see him so often is much different then they think.
You enter the building just as Kankuro was about to walk out.
"Kankuro, come talk with me?" You ask, as you do every time you come see him.
"Hey, (y/n)! Sure! But after we talk, Gaara wants to speak with you about something in his office! ok?"The man next to Kankuro elbows him in the arm and snickers at you both. You nod your head at Kankuro and walk into an empty room, wait for him to come in, and close the door. When the door closes, his face lost all the happiness it had before and replaced it with a more serious expression.
"So, get me up to speed" You say, as you do every time after the door is closed.
"It's not good (y/n), I know he can't sleep, but… in the last two weeks he never takes a break and hasn't eaten, he's too worried."
"Worried about what?" Your question is met with silence "Tell me and I'll take care of it!"
"Why do you care so much anyway?" He looks at you with honest confusion, you just clutch the necklace you are wearing as you answer.
"We've had this conversation! Stop trying to change the subject and tell me!" He flinches away from you and quietly answers.
"It's the Sandaime Tsuchikage, Onoki, he has decided that Gaara is not fit for the Kage position and is trying to remove him from it. He is the only one trying to do this, but, if he comes up with a valid claim, then it must be inspected by all the Kage's. And if that happens Gaara must be removed from his position until they decide if he is deserving of Kage position or not." Kankuro stares at the ground and won't look at you.
"He is the only one trying right? (Kankuro nods) So if he is removed from the equation, then there is no problem, right?" Kankuro looks confused but nods, then realization lights up his face and he grabs you ruffly
"If you do that and get caught you will be put to death!" He screams as he shakes you.
"I have no intention of getting caught and even if I do, it will get the job done right?"
"But if they realize you did it for Gaara-
"That's why I will make up a story and you will go along with whatever I say if that happens, do you understand me? (He looks at the ground) Do you understand me!?"
"Yeah"
"Good, now if I remember correctly my Kazekage has requested my presence" You leave before he can stop you. You will do what you must for your Kazekage no matter what end befalls you.
When you step into Gaara's office, he looks terrible. You had expected this after your conversation with Kankuro, but it hurts you too see him this way. "You requested me sir?" He looks up at you then and stays quiet for a long time.
"Do you love my brother?"
"What?" You can only blink in confusion at his question, you were expecting a lot of questions from the redhead but that was not one of them.
"Temari told me you were dating… I want to make sure this is true."
"Why?" This statement has you worried, he can't remember you, not now, not when you're about to sacrifice yourself for his dream. That would be too cruel. You have to stop yourself from playing with your necklace in worry. You can't let him see your necklace.
"Because…"
"Because?"
"Because, I have a mission for you, but… it is very dangerous and I do not want to put my brother's girlfriend in an almost suicidal situation." Relief filled you at his explanation.
"No, I am afraid your sister has the wrong impression. I am not dating your brother, we are friends, yes, but nothing like that. Even if we were, he knows that my duty to my village outweighs my duty to my personal life" You hate those words, but you must say them. You don't care about this stupid village. Your duty is to Gaara and no one else, nothing else! You lived for him and you will die for him.
"...I see…
In that case, I need you to follow me somewhere…
and protect me."
"Follow you, but didn't you say this mission is suicidal? Should you go on such a mission? Whatever it is, I can do it for you! Please don't put yourself in danger! This village needs you!" 'No, you were just brought back! You can't die on me now!' You think in desperation. "Please sir!"
"I can't do that"
"Why?"
"It is something I must do…"
"Fine, I'll go get-
"No"
"But! You can't leave without your bodyguards!"
"That's why you are coming with me" You look at him with desperation in your eyes, but he stays absolute in his decision "as for the village, Kankuro will be left in charge in my absence, we leave tomorrow morning…
You should say goodbye to your family tonight" You bow to Gaara.
"Yes sir!" You then leave his office in search of Kankuro.
You find him in his favorite place to eat, luckily it's also the one with a back room that you use often.
-and extra sauce on that!"
"In the back room" you tell the waiter, and he nods. You get to Kankuro just as he is finishing his order, you don't know why he bothers, when he orders the same thing every day and they keep it warm, with triple sauce just for him, 24/7.
"(y/n)? I didn't know you were coming!"
"Obviously, come on"
"Okay" When you are in the back room, the door is close, and Kankuro has his food he asks you a question "Okay, what's up? You look like Gaara's dying. (he joke's, then with a look horror on his face, he grabs the table) He's not dying is he?"
"Not if I have anything to say about it"
"..." He stayed silent
"What do you know about tomorrow?" He gets a look concentration on his face.
"Well, Gaara's going to go look at something a couple day's away and I'm in charge while he's gone, why?" now it was your turn to stay silent. "He doesn't plan on coming back does he?"
"Gaara will return, alive and in one piece"
"You're going with him" It was not a question, it was a statement, he knew you to well.
"Yes, I am concerned, however that if I do not return, his Kage position will be taken away"
"You get my brother back here in one piece and I will do it in your absence"
"That is very noble, however if you are caught they will connect you to Gaara right away"
"..." silence
"If Gaara returns without me (you pull pen and paper out of your clothes and start writing) go to this address, knock on the back door seven times, say my name, knock twice, say obliterate and say the old mans name. When you hear that the target has been taken care of, get this number of yen out of this account, I'm writing all the numbers you need, and take to the same address, knock on the back door three times, say the number of yen you brought, only say the number, a hand will reach out of the whole and you will hand it the money and walk away. These guys are good, I trained them myself, but their dirty. Don't give them any extra information and above all, do not let them find out who you are." You lock eyes with him.
"Okay, I promise"
"I mean it. Do. Not. Let. Them. Know. Who. You. Are." He gulps and nods
"Got it, I will, I promise"
You left the village five days ago, you have had ninja attack you both the entire time. You still don't know what this is about, all you know is that it had to be big. Gaara went into a cave a few minutes ago and it's your job to make sure no one gets in with him. You have successfully halved your amount of enemies when Gaara comes out of the cave carrying a box wrapped in chains and signals for you to follow him.
You are one day away from the village when you are attacked by a ninja that's skill surpasses your own. You were on the ground when the ninja made his move. There is a morbid sound of a knife going through flesh as the ninja's kunai knife is covered in blood. Gaara's eyes go wide. The ninja's go wide as blood escapes his lips. You didn't have a lot of strength, but you had just enough to be able to jump in the way of his knife and use your own against him. The light left the ninja's eyes as he dropped to the ground, before you could follow him, Gaara caught you.
"Why?"
"G-get home, before-before any more come, go!"
"I'm taking you with me"
"Ga-Gaara! No! I'll slow you d-down!"
"Your family deserves to know your body is safe in the village"
"I don't, I don't have any family, please, ju-just-st g-go!" With that you fainted, and as your body moved when you did, your necklace that you were always messing with was in plain view. When Gaara looked at it, his eyes went wide as dinner plates. He knew you had the same name, but he didn't know you were the same (y/n). Now he had to make sure you got back to the village.
