'Trust is a dangerous gamble. Placed in the right person, it can put you on top of the world. However, if it's broken, it can bring you to your knees.'
"Hey, forehead, let's go." Sakura cringed at the voice that echoed throughout her tiny 2 bedroom apartment. "We're going to be standing here for years waiting for you to try and look some what attractive."
"Oh shove off, Pig!" Sakura shouted back at her friend absentmindedly, but for the moment she was too busy trying to find where she had put her wallet to throw back a decent insult.
'Let's burn her useless 'kiss me, I'm famous' shirt' that'll teach her, and it's god damn hideous' Sakura let a small smirk form on her lips at her inner personality's thoughts. She had come to refer to these thoughts as, 'inner Sakura' and had grown up with having these thoughts that were not exactly her own her whole life. Now it was so natural to her that she wasn't sure what she would do with out the second commentary always going on in her head.
Ino always referred to it has some kind of multiple personality disorder, because on occasion inner Sakura's thoughts and actions had a tendency to show themselves to the outside world and Sakura never really remembered what happened those times when her inner took over.
"I swear to god I need to put a beeper on that thing." She muttered. This had been the second time that day she had misplaced her wallet.
"a-HAH!" walking over to some scattered clothes on the floor, Sakura lifted a shirt off of the floor that had been partly covering her purple wallet. Turning and heading for her bedroom door, she stopped before the mirror that hung to the left of her door, giving herself a once over.
Her pink hair fell around her reaching her mid back, straightened to Sakura's liking instead of the normal waves that took over her head. She wore a simple tight black sleeveless shirt with a sleeveless jean vest that was shorter than the shirt in length, ending a couple of inches beneath her breasts. Light blue jeans clung to her legs, with intentional cuts running up the front, and at the tops of her knees began her half an inch heeled black boots.
Sakura wasn't sure if this could be completely considered club attire, but it felt comfortable enough to her and that's all that she really cared about.
Sighing for the long evening she had ahead of her, Sakura opened her door and headed down the hall to her and Ino's entrance. There Ino stood with their close friend, Hinata.
"Jesus Christ, finally! I swear you take longer than me- what the hell is that?" Sakura abruptly stopped, wide eyed, looking down at herself at the panic she heard in her friend's voice.
"What? Is there a stain?" She heard a scoff from Ino and looked back up at her friend.
"No a stain might actually look inviting. You're dressed like you're ready to fight someone. Not exactly and inviting outfit." Sakura and her inner both stared at Ino, dumbfounded. "I mean the only skin you're showing is your arms!"
"That's the point you simple fool. I don't do clubs, Ino. And you know this." Sakura had been to a club on two other occasions in her 23 years of life and both of them were uncomfortable counts of being groped and verbally harassed. Although she sometimes enjoyed the music, she never ended up completely relaxed at a club unless she had many drinks in her. Really, she acted more like a body guard for her friends when she went. Shaking her head, Sakura started past the two girls in the doorway while Ino reached for Hinata's overly large jacked and pulled it open.
"Look! Even Hinata knows how to show off her goodies!" The said girl, blushing madly, glared at Ino and closed her jacket once more.
"That's because Hinata has goodies to show." Sakura shouted over her shoulder, as she headed down their stairway.
"I think you look wonderful Sakura!" Smiling down at her friend that had caught up to her, Sakura threw her right arm around Hinata's shoulders, glad for the girl's shorter height that made the action comfortable.
"Well, that black dress your wearing looks beautiful on you Hinata, I'm going to be fighting back Naruto all night long!" Sakura chuckled as the girl started turning red. "It always amazes me how you can show off your body without looking like a complete slut." At this last part, Sakura turned her head back a little to land a glare on the trailing blonde behind them.
"Why you-" Ino was interrupted as a figure started towards them.
"Finally. It's almost ten." Sakura shrugged at Shikamaru as she walked past him.
"Talk to your girlfriend, she's the one that couldn't find her wallet and rudely made us wait up there. Honestly, Ino, you should be more organized." Sakura made a disapproving sound at Ino before opening up Shikamaru's back door and making her way into the back seat, with Hinata getting in on the other side giggling.
"Typical." Frowning, Shikamaru headed for the drivers seat, while Ino headed for the passenger door yelling about Sakura and lies.
XxXxXx
"They should already be here. I mean, we're late ourselves." Sakura nodded in agreement with Ino, mirroring the girl and looking around the crowd that surrounded the club they were in front of.
"Well, I'm sure Naruto got hungry, which doesn't help with Sasuke's need to look perfect. Thus, resulting in their being late" Sakura stated, giving up on looking around the crowd and pulling out her phone.
"Maybe we should just go in. The line's going to get longer and I just want to sit down already." Sakura smiled at her phone as she listened to Shikamaru.
'I swear, this man's the laziest genius I have ever met.' Mentally nodding at her inner's voice, Sakura sent a text to Naruto and shoved her phone back in her pocket.
"Well," Sakura started, digging in her back pocket where she had shoved some money and her I.D., having left her wallet in Shikamaru's car. "Shall we go in? I mean they can always text us when they get here and meet up with us?" Ino glanced around nervously, not really liking the idea but was torn by the music that was blasting from inside the club.
The girl loved to dance.
"Is that okay with you, Hinata?" Ino looked at the smaller girl.
"Yes, I just hope they will be able to find us."
"I'm sure it will be fine." Ino smiled, then looked at the girl's jacket. "Aren't you hot? It's mid summer and you're going to have to carry that inside, Hinata. Do you want us to put it back in the car?" Shaking her head, Hinata smiled.
"I'm used to it." Nodding, Ino started for the line.
They almost didn't get past the bouncer with Sakura wearing what she was wearing and Shikamaru's attitude. However, Ino's blossoming personality and assets seemed to be enough to get them through.
"I swear you guys would be able to have no fun with out me!" Ino shouted back at her friends as she pushed through people crowding the hallway leading to the main dance floor. Her stature was changing as she became more excited getting closer to the main area.
Sakura smiled as she looked at the back of her friend, who was holding her hand and dragging her forward. Hinata was behind them with Shikamaru trailing behind her.
Although Sakura didn't prefer clubs, she didn't mind seeing her friends enjoy themselves and having fun.
When they entered through an archway leading to the main part of the club that held the dance floor, it was chaos. It was the only word that could truly describe the crowd that lay in front of her. On the floor in front of the stage where the DJ played, bodies were stuck together, moving in unison. And although that kind of closeness could make someone feel claustrophobic, it could also make someone feel on top and in sync with the world.
Sakura nearly ran into Ino's back when the girl stopped abruptly, turning to yell into her ear.
"We probably won't find a table until Sasuke gets here and pulls some strings for us. So for now we'll just go to the bar!" Sakura nodded to her since yelling yes to her would be unnecessary. Turning to face Hinata while Ino started pulling her, she had to grab her friends arm to pull her attention away from the dance floor, were her own attention had been moments before.
'Bar.' Was what Sakura mouthed to answer Hinata's confusing stare, in which the girl nodded in understanding and turned to, what Sakura assumed, relay the message to Shikamaru.
Who shrugged. Shaking her head and chcuking, Sakura allowed herself to be dragged by Ino, looking over the people surrounding them as they past.
She got approving looks from both men and women, which Sakura didn't mind. It was when they touched her, or her friends for that manner, inappropriately and unnecessarily that really had the tendency to set her off.
'Let's dance with them ALLLLL!' Sakura shook her head as her inner's thoughts were screamed in her mind.
'No.' She answered, trying to silence her now hyper personality.
'Come ooonnn! I know you feel this music, it's natural to want to move to it. So just move to it! Don't care about anything else!' As much as her inner might be right, Sakura was simply too self-conscious and self-aware to allow herself to do those things so freely, especially in front of a crowd this big. Maybe if her friends wanted to dance with her, and maybe with a couple of drinks in her system, she would be able to. But by that time Ino will have forced Shikamaru or some other poor soul onto the dance floor and Naruto will have stolen Hinata away.
As they reached the far end of the long bar, the music was a little less loud there and Ino immediately grabbed one of the bar tenders attention and got some drinks going. Sakura pulled out her phone to see if Naruto had answered her from earlier, but he had not.
"I don't know if they're coming, Ino." Sakura, who was leaning against the bar facing the rest of the club, voiced her thoughts to Ino, who shook her head in disagreement.
"There is no way Naruto would pass this opportunity and miss Hinata looking like this. " Ino's blonde hair, in a high ponytail, fell to the left of her face as she leaned towards Sakura talking. She took this moment to really take in her friend's outfit.
Where Sakura wore tight pants and a shirt, Ino wore a baby blue short sleeve dress. The only place it really fit snuggly was around her breasts and it stopped a couple of inches before her knees. Her white heals were only about three inches high with a gold lock on the front of them; they laced to about half way up her calf and fit nicely on her legs.
Sakura leaned towards her friend, smiling, "You know I was joking before, you look really good tonight." Her friend, who had been lightly bouncing on her feet and looking at the crowd on the dance floor, looked at Sakura from the corner of her eyes, smiling.
"Yeah, I know." Sakura nodded her head at her friend and turned to face the bar as their drinks were prepared for them. Ino shot down two short glasses of whatever vodka she felt like enjoying for the night and started towards Shikamaru. Sakura grabbed her Amaretto Sour and turned back to face the dance floor. She didn't have a clear view of it though because the dance floor was surrounded on three sides by the higher-level floor they were on with a railing surrounding it where people could just watch the D.J. play on the stage at the back wall of the club and people dance on the dance floor. She turned when Ino started to wine and head to the dance floor by herself, which meant Shikamaru refused to dance with her.
'Typical, that's my cue.' Sakura pushed herself off the bar and leaned towards Hinata and Shikamaru, "I'm going to go keep an eye on her." In which her friends nodded and Sakura headed towards an empty space that over looked the dance floor, a couple of feet from the stairway entrances that lead to the main floor. Which was good in case she needed to make a quick rescue of her blonde friend.
She leaned forward against the railing and sighted her friend immediately. Sakura took a sip of her drink, thinking of Ino and her boyfriend. Wondering how Shikamaru was okay with Ino dancing with whomever she wanted to, instead of him.
'It's his fault, Sakura. He brings her here and then refuses to entertain her.' Inner Sakura stated.
'Yeah but… that must suck.' Sakura thought, watching Ino as she chose to dance with a female partner as a new song started up.
'He might be confident enough in their relationship that it doesn't matter to him. He's just letting her have fun.' Sakura nodded her head, bringing her eyes away from Ino to overlook the rest of the people below her.
'This isn't bad. This aura is nice. It's interesting to watch everybody, and this music puts me in a trance. This is a different feel than the other clubs we've been to.' Sakura thought to herself, looking over the crowd.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, her body stiffened. An over whelming feeling started to fill her, almost like she was being suffocated. But just as swiftly as it came, it disappeared.
'That was really weird.' Inner Sakura stated.
''Yeah, it felt like we were being watch. But that's typical, we're in a club….. but something does feel off.' Scoping out the dance floor to make sure Ino was fine, Sakura spotted her friend now closer to the stage, enjoying the music. Satisfied, she started scoping out the rest of the dance floor, searching to see if anyone was paying particular attention to her, which could have caused her previous reaction. She got occasional glances but nothing that made her feel like she had moments ago.
'Maybe they aren't on the dance floor,' Sakura thought to herself, 'Maybe-' Her thoughts were halted as her eyes met with jade. Standing directly across from her on the other side of the dance floor was a man with spikey red hair, starring right at her. Or maybe he wasn't? But it sure felt like his eyes were directly on her.
Then he Smirked.
'Yup, definitely looking at us. I don't mind, he looks super fine!' Sakura ignored herself and swallowed. She didn't like being singled out, and he was doing it in a completely unsubtle way. He was blatantly starring at her without any care. What was also weird was that normally someone would have looked away if you caught them starring.
The stare coming from the man seemed to shift to something more… predatory as his head tilted forward. It felt like he was demanding her attention.
"Naruto's here." Sakura jumped and whipped around to face Hinata, panic in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, Sakura!" Hinata shouted. Sakura shook her head, trying to reassure her friend.
"No, you're fine Hinata, I was…" She turned to look behind her at the man who was starring at her before. But of course, he was not longer there. "I was just distracted." She yelled back at her friend, doing her best to offer a smile.
Nodding, Hinata motioned for Sakura to come with her to the bar, which she did gladly. However, not before taking one more glance back to make sure the stranger was still no longer there; he wasn't.
"Sakura!" Sakura laughed as she prepared for her friend's hug. It had been a while since she had last seen Naruto. Going from seeing someone everyday of your life since being little to seeing them every once in a while wasn't something Sakura was sure she'd ever get used to. Her and Naruto had grown up in a foster home together, basically becoming like a real brother and sister. But now they had grown up with their own lives leading them in separate directions, naturally leading to less time spent together.
"You're late, idiot!" Naruto looked slightly embarrassed.
"Yeah I know, but stupid over there had to go over to this store and then I got hungry-" Sakura held her hand up.
"I don't care to hear your long journey of how you came to be late. Where is Sasuke anyways?" Sakura asked, looking behind Naruto for any traces of their mutual friend. Naruto pointed to Sakura's left to the area where they had entered. There was Sasuke, speaking to a bouncer, girls waiting patiently behind him for the moment they could grab his attention. Sakura shook her head, some things never changed. She looked back at the bar and noticed Shikamaru was now gone, probably to find a better place to watch Ino. Hinata was standing there by herself, looking a bit out of place.
"Hey, why don't you ask Hinata to dance." Sakura stated, rolling her eyes as Naruto's skin tone started to darken. "Stop blushing and go help her. She looks so nervous and maybe seeing you flail around on the dance floor like a fish will help her." Naruto nodded, seeming unsure of himself.
She smiled as Hinata and Naruto came towards her, placing a hand on Hinata's shoulder as they past by her. Sakura took her spot at the bar where Hinata had previously stood and turned to watch the awkward couple.
'I wonder if they will ever get through this phase and act comfortably around each other.' Her inner's thoughts sounded annoyed and Sakura laughed. 'I'm serious; their little crush fest has been going on for years. Someone just needs to make a move already. I'm so tired of waiting!'
'I hope no one makes a move, this is simply too entertaining.' She put an elbow behind herself on the bar, smiling at the two on the dance floor when she felt eyes on her. Sakura turned her head to the right when she saw a body moving in her direction out of the corner of her eye.
"Hey." She shouted as Sasuke took a position to her left, leaning on the bar next to her and ordering a drink. "What did he need from you?" Sakura questioned, motioning her head back to where the bouncer was that Sasuke was talking to.
"I'm trying to get a table in the VIP section so we aren't bothered so much." Sasuke glared at the girls that were standing in the area he just walked from. One of them winked at him and Sakura chuckled.
"So we aren't bothered so much? Do you mean you?" Sasuke turned to lean against the bar next to Sakura.
"Yeah, whatever. Where's Naruto." He asked, glancing around to see if he could spot his spikey haired blonde friend in the groups of people standing around them.
"There." Sakura nodded her head in the direction of where one of the entrances to the dance floor was, except there were now people standing in the way of seeing Naruto and Hinata. "You're friend decided he wanted a dance with Hinata."
Sasuke looked shocked for about two seconds before he nodded, "Your doing I assume?" A smile was the only answer he received.
She was nodding her head to the song that was playing when Sakura felt Sasuke's gaze on her. Turning her body to face Sasuke, Sakura looked up at him.
"What?" She asked.
"You look good." It was a simple compliment but Sakura couldn't help but be a little taken back by it.
"T-Thanks. Ino said I looked unapproachable." Sakura offered a small smile and turned back towards the dance floor, taking a sip of her drink.
"Good." Sasuke mumbled.
"What?" Sakura, yelled.
"Nothing. Do you…" Instead of actually asking her to dance, Sasuke just motioned towards the dance floor. Sakura looked at the dance floor and then back at Sasuke, unable to hold back the laugh that escaped her.
"With you? No thank you. Remember last time I tried at Kiba's birthday? No way. I'd definitely need like, ten more drinks in me." Sakura stated, finishing off her current drink and placing it on the bar behind her.
"How about a shot." Sasuke said, motioning to the bartender to order them something that would be 'smooth' going down but hit hard. However, Sakura had yet to taste any kind of hard alcohol that was smooth when she drank it. Shots sucked.
"No- no Sasuke-"
"Just be quiet and take it. They say I'm up tight but you're more high strung then ever. You're not driving home, Shikamaru is. Just have fun with your friends, Sakura. Stop making things more complicated than they are." Sakura stared at Sasuke wide eyed, a little surprised that he was saying that to her. Maybe even slightly offended.
There had been a point in her life where she would have jumped at the thought of dancing with Sasuke, who had been her high school crush. However, she was older now, and though she still might find him physically attractive, his personality wasn't something she would prefer in a significant other.
'Geez, you know it's bad when stick-in-the-ass calls you out. He's right, let's have fun! When was the last time we really danced?' Sakura mentally throttled her inner.
'We've never really danced before, precisely because we can't dance. Stupid.' She looked down at the shot that was placed in front of her and then back at Sasuke.
"I can't really dance to this music." Sakura stated. She couldn't really dance to any music but she wasn't going to say that to him out loud. Especially since he already figured that, she was sure.
"Look around, Sakura," Sasuke started, offering her a smirk, "No one can. That's why clubs are the perfect place to get lost. There are just enough people to not be noticed and let go. You just move. Feel the music, the alcohol, and move." He took back his shot, placed the glass on the bar and looked at Sakura expectantly.
"Fine." And with that she did her best to take down her shot. She couldn't help the disgusted face she made as it ran down her throat, burning like nothing else could when Sasuke began to drag her to the stairs leading to the dance floor.
They weaved their way through some bodies standing around the stairs and started down. Sakura was looking for Ino when she spotted her, dancing away like it was something she was born to do. Next to her stood Hinata and Naruto, smiling and dancing with one another. Sakura tapped Sasuke shoulder and simply pointed towards her friends.
Coming up to Ino, she wasn't surprised when the girl jumped on her. Smelling the alcohol on her breath, Sakura wondered whom she scored more drinks from and in such a short time.
"I'M SO GLAD YOU CAME DOWN HERE!" Ino screamed, causing Sakura to cringe and nod at her. However, Sasuke pulled her away from Ino and into his embrace, placing his mouth near her ear.
"Just remember, move to the music." Sakura nodded, feeling a little bit awkward. As the song continued she felt her cheeks warm slightly, the shot was beginning to hit her. This was to be expected since her and her friends hadn't really eaten anything before starting their night out.
She found moving to this type of music easier than she had thought it would be. The music that was being played was some mixture of dub step and electric dance music, and she had to admit, she enjoyed those drops in the songs. As she looked around at the bodies moving in sync next to them, she realized just how little everyone cared about what they were doing. They were just enjoying themselves. Sasuke was right.
That's when she felt it again, that same feeling like she couldn't breath and she moved to the side of Sasuke, still facing him, trying to get a view of the crowd behind him.
'Sakura…' Sakura ignored her inner's voice as her eyes connected with jade for the second time that night. Sasuke had moved to stand behind her now as the next song was starting and she was now fully in the line of sight of the red haired man from before. He was only about 20 feet away from her. For the first time, Sakura was appreciative for all of the bodies pressed against one another standing between her and the man. But even as those bodies moved between them, it felt like he was right in front of her.
'Sakura, I have a really bad feeling about this.' Sakura ignored her inner, yet again. Captivated by the man before her and why he seemed to be seeking her out. Normally, when someone was starring at her or giving her unwanted attention, Sakura would shoot a glare at whoever the said person was and that generally got them away from her. But for some reason, though she was glad for the space between them, she was curious.
Suddenly the song began to pick up it's pace and as it did, so did Sakura's heart beat. Though the song was picking up speed, everything seemed to be happening in slow motion around her.
Sasuke moving behind her, pulling her to him and placing his face in the crook of her neck as he moved her body along with his to the song.
'Sakura!'
The bodies moving in unison around her.
'Sakua!'
And the red haired man. His lips began moving and as Sakura watched them move she felt something click inside of her.
And then came the drop.
'SAKURA!'
It came out of nowhere and felt like electricity. Suddenly, Sakura didn't care about anything; she just wanted to move. She flung her head back and felt it land on the top of Sasuke's shoulder as she moved her body against his in perfect unison to the beat of the song, no longer needing him to guide her.
All at once she felt drunk. She felt alive. She felt everything.
And she didn't want it to stop, not ever.
A body was pressed to the front of hers, a female she didn't know. Sakura left the embrace of Sasuke as the female pulled her closer, meshing their bodies into one solid movement.
'What a beautiful feeling.' Was she high? Did Sasuke drop something in that drink? She wasn't sure. But she didn't really care. At the moment, she felt like she was glowing.
And looking back at the situation, she would have realized it was because she was.
'Sakura' The voice inside her head was foreign, something she had never heard before, and it was radiating power. Her attention was pulled elsewhere though as someone came behind her to join her and her new female friend in their movements.
'God, this song. This music.' Sakura slid her eyes closed, still moving. As she did she found herself faced with a pair of gold and red eyes starring at her inside of her head.
And some how, everything froze. Sakura's eyes immediately shot open as the music was silenced and the trance she was in was broken.
Her eyes widened at the scene before her. She was still in the club, dim lights and all. But everyone was frozen. The people that had been surrounding her were now in the air, like they were being flung backwards. However, they too were frozen.
"What…" Sakura couldn't help it when her breathing began to pick up as she turned to look at her friends, who were also frozen in whatever dance position they had been in moments ago. What was happening?
'Maybe I really was high. But I got too high…. And everyone's in slow motion. Is there a drug that does that?' Sakura asked herself, trying to make sense of the situation at hand.
"Gaara, you were supposed to prevent a scene. Not create one." Whipping her head around, Sakura looked for the owner of the voice in the now quiet club.
There was a man standing on the higher level of the club that over looked the dance floor to her left. He was dressed in a black suit, long hair looked to be pulled back in a ponytail behind him. His black stare was directed solely on Sakura.
"I was. However, someone decided they wanted a scene to happen. Deidara?" Sakura turned her head to face the front of the club where another voice came from; it was the red head from before. He was also standing on the higher level that over looked the dance floor.
'He was 20 feet away from me like 5 seconds ago.' Sakura thought to herself. Why were they moving but no one else was. Why were the people that were touching her body only seconds ago, now frozen in mid air around her?
"I wanted to see if it was the real deal, yeah. I mean, how long have we been waiting for this? Man, you don't disappoint." Sakura's head turned to the right to land on a blonde male that was sitting on the railing that ran along the upper level floor. His gaze was excited, as he looked her over. "If Sasori had been here, he would have marveled at the sight of you."
'Sakura…' Sakura's gaze shot to the wooden floor in front of her as her inner finally spoke up. 'Sakura, I'm going to need to do something you won't like.' She felt like she was going to hyperventilate.
"What is going on!" Sakura demanded, done with the confusion she was feeling. She was looking at the blonde to her right as she demanded an answer, but it was the black haired man to her left that spoke.
"Miss, I'm sure you are terribly confused at the moment. However, there is not enough time for an explanation. I'm going to need you to come with us. It is not safe for us to remain here." Sakura gaped at him unbelievingly. Did she really think she was just going to do that?
"Like hell." Sakura spat, taking a step back. It was at that time the red hai- Gaara was it? Began to speak.
"It wasn't a suggestion." Sakura watched as he gripped the rail in front of himself and jumped over it, landing on the dance floor and heading for Sakura; shoving bodies out of his way as he went. "You'll be coming with us whether you would like to or not."
Sakura couldn't help the fear that shot through her as he got closer.
"It would be easier on everyone if you didn't try to fight, yeah. We don't want to hurt you." Sakura heard the blonde man but her eyes didn't leave Gaara. Contrary to the blonde man's words, he looked as if he would love to hurt her.
'Sakura, there's something I need to tell you. But right now is not the time. I need to get us out of here and the only way to do that is if you let me gain control of our body.' Sakura was panicking as her inner spoke, backing up as much as she could before she came into contact with a frozen body.
'What do you mean? What is happening? Do you know them some how?' Sakura asked herself, feeling like she was in some sort of dream.
'There is not time!' Her inner self screamed.
"AH!" Sakura grunted and fell to the floor on her knees, unknown pain filling her. She placed a hand on the floor in front of her and looked to her left at the man who hadn't left his position on the higher level. His eyes widened as her breathing slowed and her body began to feel extremely hot. Suddenly he was on the dance floor with her, trying to get to her, like Gaara.
'You have complete control of my body. Please, please, please, help me!' Sakura screamed in her mind, scared of what was going to happen when the strangers got to her. As Gaara entered the small clearing surrounding her, Sakura felt her body arch and a scream escaped her mouth.
And then she felt nothing.
Writer's Note: Hi! If you've come this far, I'm sure you've become aware that this story isn't placed in the typical time period of Naruto. I also will not cross languages throughout the story because I feel like that leaves my writing scattered. I do not know how to speak Japanese properly, so I'd rather not insult those that do. Gaara will have his traditional tattoo on his forehead though! This story concept randomly popped into my head, so here's the beginning of it. It's been a while since I've tried to write an in depth story for Naruto so I apologize if the characters seem off. But I do like to add my own little touch to them.
Any feedback helps, it makes me feel pushed to continue to update stories as well as excited! So, if you enjoyed it, please let me know!
