And There Goes My Heart And Soul
The Beginning.
We Do Not Own Naruto Except Ame
{Rated T For Sake Of Being Rated T}
A/N: HI. Sorry for those who read this, but yeah… Sasuke is suppppeeer lazy so she isn't writing chapter 3. Well she is, just slowly. But this is a mini chapter about Ame and Gaara's relationship, because people that I know have been asking why Gaara is slightly OOC around Ame and how he likes her seeing as how they're opposites. Personally, its cuz I suck at Gaara XD haha. But I try. Really. Also this is more background on Ame as a child and her relationship with Sasuke and Naruto and everyone else as well. Well this is a mini chapter so it's technically not chapter 3 or 4. They will come later, eventually. Well on with MINI CHAPTER! This mini chapter is really long though XD - Ame.
New A/N - Alright, as you can see I changed the chapter name and the story name. Well that's because, since Sasuke has lost all her insperation and gave up on the Epic Adventures, well at least for now... I hope. I decieded to write and OcXGaara story, using, obviously Ame. This is going to be the first chapter of it, the second on its way. And I hope you enjoy. Actually, I'm taking this off of the Epic Adventures and just adding it to the new story, less hassle.
-Ame's P.O.V.-
I was just wandering around Konoha with my teammates Kazu and Ichigo, we've always been this close. We're like a family, but we gave each other space. Well today was different, we were wandering to Old Guy's place. I saw Naruto arguing with Sasuke, one of my old best friends. I sighed as I watched them, Ichigo and Kazu followed my gaze.
"Are you still obsessed with Sasuke? Really? Come on get over him," said Kazu, Ichigo nudged him, knowing I had a crush on Sasuke. Well, it was never my fault. When we were little, Sasuke and I lived together. We use to be such good friends. After my parents were killed when I was 3, I moved in with the Uchiha's because my step mom and dad were always busy. Tsunade was always away traveling and what not. Kakashi and I just have a strange relationship after what happened.
"That's not true. Ame-chan is just wondering if Naruto is only eating ramen, instead of what she cooks. Naruto-kun is really close to her after all," Ichigo smiled at me and glared at Kazu.
"Does it matter? Let's go okay." I said and kept walking ahead.
You're all probably wondering who I am and more about me right?
Well, my name is Ame Liveevil, age 11. I am an Anbu and my teammates are Imazaya Kazu and Kuronomi Ichigo. We're all technically orphans since our families died. Which is the reason we're all really close to each other, but out of all of our families, my clan's death was the worst.
My mom and dad were the Liveevils. Have you heard of them? Probably, we're the most evil bunch around; no one can take our cake. Our family was so dangerous that everyone was eliminated, besides yours truly of course. However, since my godparents are so "good" they expect me to be good as well. But what can I do?
Tsunade is my god mother, but I call her my step mom, I don't like god. God made me messed up, as well as my family. Well I can't really tell you much about her, I don't know her, she, well, and I've never met her. She's always traveling.
Sasuke is my secret crush; I've known him since we were little. My mom and his mom were good friends so I came to visit a lot. After my mother and father were killed, the Uchiha's took me in. I was never lonely. Sasuke and I were really good friends. But when we turned 6 we had a really bad fight. I lived with Sasuke from age 3-6. We used to do everything together. We used to swing together. He was always so kind to me, and out of all the girls in the village, he only liked to talk to me. But then one day, on the swings we had a really bad fight, and we told each other we hated the other. Then I moved away. And then the Uchiha massacre happened.
Kakashi is my god father, but I call him my step dad. I moved in with him from 6-7. Kakashi and I got a long very well. We were like best friends. But then one day, he was being too controlling of me and I screamed to him that he wasn't my real father and he couldn't tell me what to do. That's when our relationship became really awkward, but we still love each other.
Naruto, he's my best friend and my current roommate. I've lived with him since we were 7. Our relationship is based up on fear and using. Hehe. He's afraid that I'll just use him and throw him away later on. Hehe. But we really do get along. We understand each other in many ways. Naruto is always nice to me, and we tell each other everything. It comes with us living together after all. Naruto tells me everything for a reason though. If he doesn't tell me, he's going to crack and be all like, sad. Also sometimes he has to tell me something, like the fact that he liked Sakura, but I have no idea who she is, but she sounds super annoying. But I sometimes use him, and will hurt him if he doesn't listen to me, hehe. This kid knows how evil I can be. But I'm not evil.
Anyways that's pretty much the basics of my life. Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Tsunade, Kazu and Ichigo. Oh and Killa, Key for short, but Ichigo calls her La or Lala. She's my cat, I've been with her all my life.
"Hey old man you wanted us?" I asked, looking at the Third Hokage.
"I have a mission for you three," he said.
"No shit? I coulda never guessed, oh great old one," I said.
"Ame, no need for your sarcasm, and watch that langue and tone. I am you elder," he said, I closed my eyes and rolled them, because if I didn't he'd yell at me more.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, what's the mission?" I asked him, my teammates looking bored, probably another mission to look for a missing nin, yeah, we're really good trackers.
"You are being re-assigned to Sunagakure no Sato. You are to help with odd jobs and what not. In all, you're becoming sand ninjas, but keeping your Anbu status if you ever come back to Konoha." he said, this caught my team's attention.
"Wait, are you trying to get rid of us? Is it because we don't have families?" I asked hurt. I never would have thought we'd be kicked out of Konoha.
"No I'm not. Sunagakure no Sato just needs help and it's to maintain peace with them, so we can all get along," he said.
"Whatever. When do we have to leave?" I asked he looked down, knowing I wouldn't like the answer.
"Well, ASAP, which means, today, right away. All you need is clothing, you three will stay at the Kazekage's house with his two sons and daughter, until they find a house for you," he said. I glared at him, then walked out the window like Kakashi does sometimes.
"Naruto, Sasuke, stop fighting for one minute" I yelled at the two, who still hadn't stopped bickering.
"What?" Sasuke asked bitterly. I smiled kindly at Naruto knowing he'd be really hurt.
"I'm leaving," I said, Naruto looked at me and so did Sasuke.
"You're moving out?" Naruto asked me, hurt slightly, at the thought that I was leaving him because I couldn't stand him. I shook my head 'no'.
"I'm leaving Konoha, on a mission with my team, We're going to Suna. I don't know for how long Naru-Koi," I said calling Naruto by the nickname we always said, we added Koi at the end because we loved each other like siblings.
"O-oh. Will you come visit? When are you leaving? We should spend the rest of the day together," he said. I looked from his face to Sasuke's who looked somewhat sad, then at the ground.
"I, I have to leave today, as soon as possible. Which mean I'm going home, packing, then leaving. I…don't think I can visit. We'll be really busy. I-I'm sorry." I said, slight tears forming. Then I ran away home, and packed all my stuff using the shadow clone Justus to make everything go faster and avoid Naruto.
I got to the gate after half an hour and waited for my team.
"So you're really leaving?" Sasuke asked me. I looked at him, then down.
"Yeah I bet you're happy," I said, looking him dead in his onyx eyes, him looking back into my green ones.
"Hn, I could care less about a idiot like you." he said and looked away.
"Sasuke… I. I. C-can you write to me maybe? I-I really don't want us to officially stop talking. Sasuke, you, you'll always be my friend, even if you hate me," I stuttered out, crying slightly.
"Hn, I bet I'll forget you, which isn't a bad thing, you we're always a burden to me. I never liked you and never will, got it? Okay good, bye, don't come back," Sasuke said and his 12 year old frame walked away, leaving me. My team was there in the next few minutes and we were off.
Before we knew it we we're in Suna walking into the Kazekage's office.
"Hello! We're from Konoha!" I screamed instead of knocking. A guard opened the door.
"Come in, but next time, knock" he said. I flashed him my signature smile and walked in. Inside were two boys and a girl.
"Hello Kazekage-sama" said Ichigo and Kazu in unison.
"Yo," I said and sat on the floor, because I was tired.
"Ame-chan, you're being rude, stand up," Ichigo said tugging me.
"I don't wanna, I'm tired Ichigo," I said, Killa came and sat in my lap.
"Don't worry about it; well it's nice to see you all here. I'm thinking your journey was tiring yes? Well that's why my children are here, they will escort you to our house, which you will stay in for the time being." he said flashing a fake smile.
"Oh I see, thank you kindly for sharing your house," Ichigo said politely, she was always the polite one, where as me and Kazu didn't give a shit, except I was more of a non-shit giver than him.
"Hi, I'm Ame Liveevil, that's Kuronomi Ichigo, and the boy is Imazaya Kazu," I said.
"I'm Kuronomi Ichigo," Ichigo said and bowed in respect.
"Imazaya Kazu," nodded Kazu who pulled me up, and forced me to down in respect with him.
"Nice too meet you three these are my children, Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro," the Kazekage said.
"I'm Temari," said the blonde, I nodded at her.
"I'm Kankuro," said the strange one with purple on his face, giving me a disgusting look.
The red headed one looked away for a while then glared straight at me "Gaara," he muttered, his 11 year old frame looked at me, his look was colder then Sasuke's, and at that point in life I decided to make his life a hell.
It'd been a month we'd been in Suna, doing odd jobs, which were pretty much D rank missions. Today I was off, doing anything I wanted to. I tied my sand head band tightly on my left arm, and went in search of Gaara. At this point he absolutely hated me, and if he could he would defiantly kill me.
"Gaara!" I sang as I found him in his rooms balcony, he was almost never not there.
"What," he said coldly not wanting my presence to disturb him.
"Can you go out with me to do something fun? It's my day off" I sang, which annoyed him more, I felt sand creep around me slightly.
"No. Leave." he said, I smiled, grabbed him and tugged him hard which caused him to fall off the balcony when I jumped holding his arm.
"What the hell is your problem?" Gaara said very coldly, not yelling.
"I was bored" I shrugged.
"Get. Off. Of. Me. NOW!" he yelled, seeing as how when we fell, I feel on top of Gaara.
"Never!" I yelled, he sent me a death glare, if looks could kill.
"NOW!" he yelled louder. I got off. Grabbed his arm and ran for the hills, dragging him behind me.
"We're here!" I said as I stopped in a place in the village which didn't have any life.
"You," he glared at me stepping closer.
"W-wait. Sorry, I'll take you home, don't do anything_" I was cut off by him grabbing my neck and lifting me up. He was chocking me.
"You are an annoyance in my life, I will get rid of you," he said tightening his grip.
"G-Gaara. S-s-stop. B-breathe. K-K-Konoha," I gasped out, which made him remember he couldn't kill me, so he dropped me.
"You." he glared and walked away. I heavily breathed.
"Gaara!" I sang, it'd been about 6 months since we moved to Konoha, it was the New Year. Not just any day, it was the 19th of January.
"What?" Gaara asked, his voice still cold and hateful as the day we meet.
"Pretty please. For the sake of the peace between Konoha and Suna, accompany me for the day." I said, putting my hand together hopefully.
"No. Leave." Gaara said.
"If you don't I'll kill myself and tell Kazu to say you did it and then you'd be in really deep shit," I sang, Gaara glared at me, knowing I was crazy enough to do it.
"Fine," he spat, normally Gaara would let me kill myself, but lately he's not as mean or cold. He just really, well, I think he's gotten used to me.
"Lets go! Yeah!" I said and grabbed him, around town the whole day looking at stuff, he really wasn't paying attention and kept spacing out, and before we knew it, it was night.
"Gaara!" I yelled he looked at me, moving his gaze from the sky.
"What?" he asked.
"Did you hear what I said?" I asked. He sent me a look.
"I said that raging panada bears, which is a cross between a panda and a banana are going to kill us all if you don't get on your knees and sing, pony pony magic, save us all!" I said, Gaara glared at me and I stuck my tongue out.
"I said there's one more place I want you to go with me tonight," I said, smiling, pulling him to the empty space I took him to 5 months ago.
"What are we doing here?" Gaara asked, in monotone as usual.
"The day I brought you here, was for a reason, just wait okay." I said and laid down on the sand, patting the ground next to me, Gaara just glared.
"Fine, just look up then" I said, and that's when the stars popped out, a million of them, we could see so many so perfectly and the sky was clear. It was unlike anything you'd ever seen before.
"I saw this and thought you'd really like it," I said smiling.
"…" Gaara said, I think he likes it.
"Hey Gaara," I said in a small voice.
"What?" he asked.
"Happy 12th birthday," I said, not moving my gaze as Gaara gave me a kind look, well not kind, but not cold.
"How did you know?" he asked me.
"While Kankuro was hitting on me, and to stop me from kicking his butt, he told me," I said.
"Oh," he said, moving his gaze back to the sky.
"Hey Gaara, do you hate me?" I asked, he was quiet for a few minutes.
"No, but I don't like you much either," he said, I smiled.
"Then, do you want to be my friend?" I asked, getting up and looking at him.
"No." he said and walked away, instant rejection.
It was the next year, me and Gaara we're both 13 and Gaara was becoming the Kazekage soon. It'd been a while since Gaara agreed to be my friend. He said he would after something that incident in Konoha with Naruto.
"Gaara!" I yelled as I went into his office, through the window.
"Ame?" he nodded, looking at the paper work. He wasn't Kazekage officially yet, not until tomorrow.
"Even though you're become the Kazekage, you'll still be my friend right?" I asked him, he looked up from the paper work.
"Yes." he said. Even though we we're friends he barely said a lot to me, but that was normal.
"Ah! I'm so bored. Ichigo and Kazu are off on a mission with Temari in Konoha. You're all Kazekage like and busy and Kankuro makes me want to bash his head in," I said, and sighed.
"Naruto and his team are coming to the sand tomorrow," he said to shut me up; he knows I'd complain forever.
"What? Why?" I asked in panic, I'd changed too much, I doubt Naruto and Sasuke or Kakashi, would recognize me, and I didn't want them to see me.
"I thought you'd be happy. I thought they were your friends," Gaara said, monotone still looking through paper work.
"W-well. It's been a long time. It's been 2 years, I bet they don't remember me, and my looks have changed, a lot. I'm not the tallest anymore," I said.
"Personally I don't think you've changed much since you first came," Gaara said.
"What's that suppose to mean? Are you trying to say I look childish with a pudgy body and an ugly face? Thanks Gaara," I said and huffed.
"No. You have changed slightly, but not much. You've become more of a woman. Just because you haven't grown much, doesn't mean you haven't changed. But you haven't changed a lot," Gaara said.
"Blah! You're trying to say I'm ugly," I said and walked out.
It was the day after Gaara became Kazekage and team 7 left. Naruto was talking to Gaara one day about Sasuke being evil and almost leaving him. I also found some stuff out, under cover.
Sasuke is in love with my Naruto.
Sasuke.
Is.
HOMO!
Not that it mattered, I didn't like Sasuke anymore. Not for a long time. But I decided, Sasuke doesn't remember, and I'm sure of it, so I'm going to send him letters to annoy him. Also, since he doesn't remember me, he doesn't hate me anymore, hehe, perfect annoy him into hating me now.
"Gaara! Can you tell me Sasuke's address?" I yelled at Gaara, who was in the middle of a meeting.
It's been about 3 years I've been in Suna. Today Gaara was off from work, he was allowed to do whatever he wanted. It was only because today was to make up for exactly one week ago.
What was one week ago? My birthday! I turned 14. Gaara and I we're suppose to hang out, but he was really busy with Kazekage-sama-ness.
"Ame? Are you ready?" Gaara asked, walking into my room, we didn't live together anymore, well we hadn't since a year and a half ago.
"Hm? Yeah" I said, got up from my bed, reading my recent letter from Sasuke, which was
Dear Ame-san,
Intriguing offer you have given me, I'm quite interested. Sakura, hmm, well she's a worthless pig, but alas she's stuck on our team. If you were here right now, you would see the giant pac-man attempting to consume my neko ears. Russia is upset and assuming that you and I (France and America) are having an affair behind her back. You must clear the things up or I WILL chidori her. No offence of course. Anyways I hear you like cheese, I do too. Except blue cheese, that shit smells terrible. Oh, and that rumor about the shadow clones, that's Naru-koi's ability, not mine. I'm contemplating whether or not to keep my sharingan on or not. It'll be chakra consuming. That's all for now, till next letter.
Sincerely,
Sasuke Uchiha
The mighty, all-powerful Uchiha
P.S. - I like tomatoes
P.S.S. - Dei is coloring my headphones
P.P.S.S. - I have a Halloween pencil with witches on it.
P.P.P.S.S. - I'm bored.
P.P.P.S.S.S. - … Dei is still coloring.
"What are you reading?" Gaara asked, I smiled at him.
"Nothing important" I said, put my letter in my little letter box and walked to our clearing with Gaara. It's where we always went for our birthday.
We were silently watching the stars as we always did. It was a habit between friends. Killa was out sending my letter to Sasuke. I was waiting for her to come back.
"Gaara," I said.
"Hm?" he said, in monotone, standing looking up at the sky while I was laying down.
"It's been 3 full years huh?" I said, smiling.
"Yes," he said in acknowledgement.
"I'm really glad you decided to be my friend," I smiled wider.
"Ame," Gaara said. I looked up at him.
"Yes" I asked him.
"Naruto says he's in love with Sakura," he said, I nodded.
"That twit doesn't know what love is, if he didn't Naru-Koi would know he's in love with Sasuke," I said, flipping onto my tummy, my elbows on the ground and my head resting on my arms.
"He told me that love is when you cannot stop thinking about a person," Gaara said.
"Mhm. That's right. Love is when you can't stop thinking about a person, they're almost always on your mind, whether it's something good or bad about them. Love is when you think of the person and you can't help but smiling or wanting to smile. Love is when you're around a person and you just act differently to adjust yourself to them. Love is something everyone feels," I said, smiling sweetly at Gaara.
"Ame. Love," he said, I tilted my head in confusion.
"I think I am in love with you." he said, I blushed.
"What are you talking about, me? Love, ha, ha" I said nervously. He frowned.
"I do not joke," he said, I sighed.
"I know," then I got up.
"Are you saying you do not feel the same?" he asked me.
"No, I do like you a lot Gaara, I just don't know. My family has a bad track record, won't being the Kazekage, and dating a Liveevil look bad?" I asked frowning.
"I do not care about what others think. If they say anything bad about you I shall kill them," he said. I smiled.
"Don't do that Gaara," I smiled and hugged him.
"Okay," he said, awkwardly hugging me back.
"You're not a demon, you never were. You've always been an adorable Panda," I said, "I'm calling you Panda now," I smiled.
"No." he said letting me go, I stayed latched onto his body.
"Yes!" I yelled.
"No," he said in a cold voice.
"Yes or I'll kill myself," I said, he tensed, knowing I would do it.
"Fine." I unlatched myself from his body and smiled.
"Huzzah! I always get my way," I smiled. Gaara shook his head slightly.
"Ame, why are you such a strange person?" he asked.
"Why are you not?" I asked back.
"…" I smiled, tugged him in and kissed him.
"Mwahaha, I win." I said and started to walk away, leaving Gaara slightly awkward.
"Coming love?" I asked, he followed behind me until we stopped at his house, and I walked inside. The door, as always was unlocked.
"PANADA'S ARE COMING TO EAT YOUR SOULS! RUN!" I screamed into the sand siblings living room, jumping in.
"AH!" Temari and Kankuro screamed in surprise.
"God you're lucky, Gaara probably would have killed you if he was in here with us," Kankuro said, Temari nodded.
"Mwahaha. He can't," I said all high and mightily like.
"Why's that? Because of the Konoha peace thing?" Kankuro asked.
"Nope, because he's my boyfriend," I smiled and ran home, leaving the three of them there awkwardly.
It's been 9 months since we've been dating. It's been fun. Gaara is accepting my craziness more than usual. He's getting more and more use to it. I walked into his office.
"Gaaraa!" I sang, smiled and laid down on his desk.
"Ame, I have something to tell you," he said, looking down at me.
"You're soooo in love with me you want me to have your illegitimate child?" I asked.
"…" I smiled, he got up from his seat and pulled me off his desk from the other side.
"What?" I asked, looking at his 15 year old frame.
"I'm going to Konoha," he said looking me dead in the eyes.
"Oh? When will you be back?" I asked, smiling.
"3-4 years," he said. I looked at him in shock.
"W-why?" I asked him.
"Because they want me to attend the new Anbu school they're making," he said.
"O-oh. I see. Well have fun," I smiled.
That day, I didn't see him off, I watched him from afar.
Three months later, I was at the gates of Konoha.
"Ame" I looked up at Sasuke.
"Hm?" I asked.
"What are you doing here?" he asked me, looking at my frame on the swings.
"I'm obviously on the swings." I said.
"By my house?" he asked.
"Yes Sasuke I'm stalking you," I said looking at his 16 year old frame. He still doesn't remember that we were friends when we were little.
"Whatever," he said, sitting next to me.
"So you like Naruto huh?" I asked, he glared at me.
"Hehe, I can get Naruto to be yours you know," I said.
"What? How?" he asked a little excited.
"I'm. Not. Telling. You" I smiled and walked away home, and up to Gaara's balcony.
"Hey there Panda!" I said, poofing next to him. He looked at me and nodded.'
"I love you," I said and grabbed him, pulling him into a hug.
I missed him.
