The Tigers of the Snow
"Who are you?" shouted a guard before he was silenced by a swipe of a paw.
A
white tiger growled as he slowly walked through the village, a man on
his back who had obviously fainted from the heat of the desert, the
large cat sighed as it looked back at it's friend and partner, then
continued walking ahead.
Unfortunately the beast was stopped by
two people, a man and a woman. The man wore a black outfit, the head
piece making him appear as if he had cat ears and he had purple
makeup on his face in odd patterns.
The female had blonde hair
back in four pigtails and she carried a large fan, her teal colored
eyes staring into the grey ones of the cat, making him
nervous.
"Kankurou, isn't it a little weird that a white
tiger would be in the desert, carrying a man around?" the woman
stated, looking over at the man who was apparently named
Kankurou.
The man shrugged indifferently, seeming as if he rather
be somewhere else now. "I don't know Temari, I guess, let's
escort the pussy cat to Gaara," he muttered.
"For your
information I am not a 'pussy cat' as you called me, I am a white
tiger who has a name," the tiger started, glaring at Kankurou,
"And that name is Yuki, now take me to the Kazekage, my friend
here needs help."
They both stared, "It can talk?"
Kankurou asked stupidly.
"No, you are just hearing things,"
Yuki said sarcastically, nudging at Temari as if begging her to take
them to the Kazekage.
"...Hai, we'll take you," Temari
muttered, escorting Yuki to a large building and taking him
in.
Temari forced herself to smile at Yuki, "It'll just be a
moment," she whispered, before walking through a door into some
kind of office.
Kankurou continued staring at Yuki and the man
laying on his back. The cat twitched in an annoyed way before looking
over at Kankurou, "Do you want something?"
"Who is
the man---" he was cut off as Temari walked back, basically
dragging Yuki into the office.
Yuki stared at the man sitting at
the desk. He had short, messy, red hair and pale green eyes that
seemed to be surrounded in too much eyeliner, and he had a tattoo
that was the kanji for love.
"So, will you help my friend
here? Or must I sit here and wait for him to die?" Yuki muttered
in an annoyed tone.
Temari looked over at the man who nodded.
Temari gently lifted the man off of Yuki's back and walking out of
the office.
Yuki all of a sudden looked distressed, "I didn't
mean take him away from me!"
He started to pace and the red
haired man sighed, "Who are you?"
"Who are you
first of all?" Yuki asked as he continued his pacing.
"I
am Sabaku no Gaara, or just Gaara, I am the Kazekage of this village,
now, who are you?" he muttered, eyes lacking any emotion.
"I
am Yuki, and that man you took away was Tora, my friend, my partner,
my master. He told me to come to Suna if he was to get into troubles,
which as you see, he did," Yuki muttered.
Gaara nodded, "I'll
take you to see him now, Yuki-chan."
"Yuki-chan? Im not
your pet, Im not a girl, and Im not a kid," he snorted before
walking at the door, Gaara close behind.
'Why am I taking all of
this from a talking tiger? A talking white tiger at that? I must be
loosing it...' Gaara thought to himself as he took Yuki to a hospital
and to a room.
"You should open your eyes," came a
feminine voice as Yuki and Gaara walked in, only to see Temari
glaring at the short silver haired man, whose eyes were tightly
shut.
"Give me the fucking bandages back and tie them around
my eyes," he muttered.
"Gaara," Temari muttered,
looking over at her brother, "You should come here."
Gaara
came closer and looked at the silver haired man who Yuki said was
Tora.
He looked at the man's right arm; a large black X tattoo was
on it, just like on Yuki's forehead.
Who were the exactly?
"Put
the bandages back around his eyes, I want to ask him some questions,"
Gaara muttered calmly.
"Hai," Temari muttered, wrapping
the bandages around Tora's eyes,
Tora soon sat up, smiling, first
looking at his IV then in Yuki's direction.
"Hey Yuki-kun!"
Tora laughed.
Temari and Gaara stared, how did he know where all
that stuff was? His eyes were completely covered.
"Tora-sama,
glad to see you awake, Im hoping Temari-san has been taking proper
care of you while I was talking to Kazekage-sama," Yuki
said.
"Ah, hello there Kazekage-sama, Temari-san," Tora
said cheerfully.
Temari glared and then turned away, what happened
to the bastard who had been yelling at her before? Talk about split
personalities.
"Tora-san, I have to talk to you about
something," Gaara stated, noticing the man frown, then quickly
replace it with a smile.
"Anything," Tora
replied.
