Melody of the Sand
Tayuya escaped the sound, she was now following a group of sand ninja, though she didn't know why. She hid behind a tree when the red head looked back.
"What is it Gaara?" the blond girl asked.
"It feels like we are being followed." he said in an emotionless tone.
"I know." said the boy with purple face paint said as he shivered. Tayuya thought she had heard their footsteps, the anbu were coming. She saw three of the Anbu jumped from a tree down to the three ninja.
"Have you seen this girl?" asked the leader holding a photo of Tayuya to the red haired boy. He shook his head and stepped forward. The Anbu nodded and ran past them. Tayuya was praying not to be seen.
"Hey there she is!" the second Anbu yelled pointing to her.
"Shit" she said to her self jumping from the tree.
"Hey you stop! Please we were sent to kill you!" they screamed all together.
"Fuck off, shit heads! Go the Fuck away!!" she yelled back as she ran. Temari looked back to see what was going on.
"None of our concern." Said Kankuro with out turning. Tayuya threw a smoke bomb, and ran. She was gaining on the three ninja quickly. She almost ran in to Temari but quickly evaded by jumping over all three ninja.
"Now it's our problem." Temari sighed. Gaara simply stopped and waited for the ninja to come running from the smoke. When they did he crushed them with his sand. The blood rained down on them. Gaara turned to Tayuya expecting a scream but instead got a smile.
"Aren't you afraid?" He asked raising an eyebrow. (some where in the Konoha Lee's eyebrow raised during one of Gai's lectures getting him pummeled to a pulp)
"Why would I be? You saved my fucking life after all." She said with a smile.
"Why were you following us?" Kankuro snapped.
"I overheard you talking about going to Oto." she shrugged.
"Why would you care?" Temari asked.
"I know the way by heart." she said half smirking.
"Why would you know the way" asked Gaara still looking confused.
"I'm a former sound ninja" She said looking up at the sky. All the sand ninja's eyes went wide, they quickly huddled up.
"If she is telling the truth her information will be useful." Temari said in a hushed voice.
"How can we be sure?" Asked Kankuro.
"Her headband." Gaara said staring at her. They broke up and walked back.
"What the hell was that about?"Tayuya asked looking back at them.
"Can we see your head band?" Temari asked with a smile.
"Uhh sure.." she said throwing her head band to Gaara. Gaara looked at it and nodded to his siblings.
"I'm sorry we didn't get properly acquainted, I'm Sabuku no Temari , these are my brothers Kankuro and Gaara." she said pointing to them when she said their name.
"How do you do?" said kankuro. Gaara simply bowed.
"I'm Tayuya" she said bowing.
"We would be grateful if you would show us the way." said Temari still smiling.
"Why not?" Tayuya said biting her thumb.
"Summoning no jutsu" she said after performing the hand signs. Her three doki appeared from the smoke.
"Listen we got an escort. Kay?" she said to the demons. They grunted and nodded .
"great." she said smiling. Each of the doki kneeled to one of the ninja. The one who's arms were bound let Temari jump to it's shoulder, the bandaged eyes bowed to Kankuro, and the one who's hair covered it's face to Gaara. Tayuya jumped to the other shoulder of the doki carrying Gaara, and sat down. She began to play and her doki charged so fast the the three ninja including Gaara almost fell down. Her hair flew in the wind almost blowing her hat off. Gaara found him self staring at her. By the time they reached the outskirts of Otogakure the sun was setting which is much faster than normal. She instructed for every one to jump down. They did as they were told. She made her doki disappear, and walked forward.They walked for a little bit longer, before the came to a huge vine covered wall.
"Great a dead end." said Kankuro angrily.
"Says you." Tayuya said pushing the vines a side reveling a cavern. The others followed but Kankuro had gotten caught once. They walked forward a few steps, and Tayuya bent down and pulled up a rock which was the handle to a trap door. She walked down followed by Gaara, then Temari, then Kankuro. They walked for about twenty minutes down the dimly lit passage. Finally they came to another set of steps and a trap door. Tayuya opened it and burst in to the night air.
"Tayuya-san will you find Sasuke?" Gaara asked quietly. Tayuya nodded with a smile.
"Then we will begin the raid." he said to Temari and Kankuro. Tayuya ran off in the direction of the main house and the three split up weapons at the ready. The met back an hour later at the center of the village, Tayuya had the sleeping Sasuke over her shoulder.
"The fucking brat put up quite a fight." Tayuya said walking to the exit. They swiftly went through the corridor. When the got past the vines she summoned her Doki once again. They jumped onto the Doki they rode before. Temari and Kankuro fell asleep on the way back to the village hidden in the sand. Tayuya and Gaara were left awake. Tayuya was almost asleep when they reached the village around sunrise. She woke Temari and Kankuro and gave Sasuke to Gaara and told him he'd be waking up soon. She was about to leave the village when Gaara grabbed her wrist, she spun around quickly to see him face to face. (Yeah he got taller).
"My father is the Kazekage of the village, and I'm asking you to stay here in Sunagakure." He said a pleading looking in his sea-green eyes.
"Sure, why not." she smiled.
"Arigato" he said and smiled for the first time in a long time. He lead her to the house that he Temari and Kankuro shared. When she walked in they both looked surprised.
"Tayuya becoming a sand ninja." Gaara said in a somewhat happy tone. He lead her up all the steps to a room adjacent to his.
"You should rest." he said opening the door.
"Thank you." she said and yawned. He left her to rest. She looked around the room, it had red walls, a white dresser, a brown door leading to a closet, A small bed with plain white covers and sheets, and one window with a large sill which on laid a black cushion.
