Royal Pain

Chapter 1:

The wind was calling. Naruto was not one to keep his lady waiting. With a bit of chakra and will power he climbed the tree all the way to the top, his rich and expensive kimono flowing around him as he stood at the very top of the tree and let the wind embrace him. Like a lover. He closed his eyes and could pick up a scent. Not one he had ever smelled before. His fox nose was very much aware of all those who came into the territory of the wind clan. He could smell the scent of spice, sun and the always lovely scent of the wind. So a wind wilder from afar had been sent here? He smiled his thanks at the calling wind who had died down. It seems she had came merely to inform him of a new arrival. In a mere jump the demon boy left the tree top and called forth the wind to ease his fall down.

Today had just started and was already promising to be interesting. He took off at full speed to find out what was going on.

"Master Naruto!" Iruka's frantic voice reached the blond.

"So who is it?" Naruto asked with a smile.

"I don't know how you always know." Iruka sighed. "It's an offering. From Suna."

"Oh, and here I thought it was going to be fun." Naruto sighed. He had tons of offerings from Suna. They sent beautiful women and rare items to his home. He understood though, after all the war with them had only ended a few years ago. Since the place was a desert you'd think they would offer, offerings to the water demons and not the wind. Though the wind was needed to bring forth the clouds that carried the rain. Since Naruto had refused they had not been given rain. Now that all was well... They seemed to want and make sure it stayed as such.

Naruto had sent back the women they had sent. He was young and had no desire to take a bride... or a harem. He knew it was one of those culture things. He had no use for that many women, nor did he even want one. Well, he had kept a few as servants.

"I believe this is a bit different. They already gave up on the females." Iruka sighed.

"Well, they will be here soon." Naruto headed to the manor to change and get ready to greet the offering.

Dressed in more formal attire and ready to refuse what they offered, Naruto sat waiting for them to enter.

It didn't take very long before the guards let in those from Suna. There were three royal guards and four slaves. The slaves carried a carriage. It was no where near as impressive as the others had been. It was almost as if made by sand. It had the same color and by the look texture. The only color of the carriage was red, the color of blood. It was quite beautiful in its own way. After it was sat down the slaves moved to lift the blood red curtain. Inside the darkness Naruto could make out a figure and he could see the less lavishness of the pillows. It seemed this offering was one given by the people and not the royals.

It made Naruto feel a bit sad that he would have to send back their gift. After all he was honored to be given something by the people. He knew they were still healing from the war. A delicate pale hand was extended and one of the slaves took the hand helping the figure out. The pale skin was marked with ink of red. It was the type the Suna's used for weddings. It would wash off after a few days. Naruto sighed, in his head. It had been a wedding offering.

He was taken back as the person inside stepped outside. The female he expected to see was replaced by a male. one who was nude from the torso up to the head and bare foot. He was a beauty, more so than any of the females who had been sent. his lower half was covered by a skirt like cloth, red and gold.

"Lord Naruto, the people of Suna have sent you this offering. They wish to praise and thank you for your kindness. They humble ask that you except this offer and continue to grace them with your good will." he leader of the guards spoke while he bowed.

The offering bowed lightly, though Naruto could tell he really didn't wish to do so. Not that many offerings wanted to be offered. Narutos eyes were locked on the boy. He had never seen something so... Perfect. never the less... "I must refuse. As I have told the Riyals, I will not be taking any brides."

"I'm not a bride offering." The offering spoke with a even tone and locked his eyes with Naruto's.

"Then what type of offering are you?" Naruto asked confused. His answer came as the carriage behind the boy began to reform, it seems it was made of sand. It reformed on the back of the offering and Narutos eyes had picked up on the fact that not all of the sand went to the same place. Some had covered the others body as a layer of protection.

"I am a weapon." The boy waved a hand and the court watched as all four slaves were killed. The blood was seeped up and carried back to the gourd on the offerings back. "Use me as you see fit. Word has traveled, you are currently at war with others. I am being offered to you, to use as you see fit."

"That is quite a talent, and an offer. I think your people will need you more though." Naruto smiled lightly. He was very much interested in the other boy, yet he really didn't want to take something that was so useful.

"I have no people."

The guard explained more. "While he has been in the village his whole life, he has no family. He has no will to protect our village. It is not that we haven't tried to reform him... He just refuses. Oh, but, we can assure you he will do as you say."

"And how can you do that?" Naruto asked. His interest was now fully on the offering.

"Because I have given my word. I asked to be the offering." The boy added to help explain more. "I want to leave that place. I have always wanted to come to the Wind."

Naruto gave a slight nod. He could tell the boy was being honest. He nodded lightly. "Alright. I, Naruto Lord of the Wind, accept the offering given by the peoples of Suna. May the wind always bring forth the clouds of rain and the cool breezes give them breaks from the heat." Naruto bowed lightly and the guards returned it. The offering moved forth bowing at the feet of his new master.

"What is your name?" Naruto asked, he could clearly smell the scent the wind had brought him earlier.

"Gaara of the Sand." The other replied, teal eyes shaded with black stared deeply into the blue ones.

"Nice to meet you Gaara." Naruto smiled brightly. "So, you really wanted out of Suna, huh? I don't ind getting you out of there... But, I really don't plan on using you."

"I don't mind being used." Gaara replied, shifting his weight so he could rest his elbow on his knee and head on his hand. He looked up at the Wind demon lord.

Naruto gulped lightly. He was going to have to remember he was not interested in being married, or in any thing of the sort. The boy was much to tempting. He didn't even seem to realize with him sitting like that his milky white thighs were showing. "Um, oh... IRUKA!" He was frantic to get away. The man yelled for appeared quickly. "Uh, show Gaara here to a room, and get him some, thighs, I mean some clothes. Get him clothes." Now red as a beet the demon headed out of the room like a mouse being chased by a cat.

A/N: So this is a challenge for my self. I have heard of a story competition that gives just one month to write 50,000 words. Since I am wanting to enter it next time it comes up, and since I like a challenge, I have decided to write this story. I am hoping you all enjoy it, as it is a bit different from the stories I usually write... I think anyways. I will be updating it as much as possible. I really wanted to try to do five chapters of 10K each... Only I can't. I sometimes just have to end it and pick up later. Maybe the next one I do I can try that. Well, much love and have fun! Review if you wanna.
