The Love for Kazekage

By: MysticFireBlood

The Kazekage of the Sand Village was sitting in his office going over some type of paper work. The treaty between his village and the hidden leaf went well, as if he doubted it. Being friends with Naruto, the Sixth Hokage, help a lot. He was looking over the newest junin ninja list for both villages trying to decide who he wanted to be his guard on his journey to the hidden mist village, when a name just popped up, Ryu Kitsune. "I remember her from my chunin exams. She was a brave fighter, but a bit foolish trying that move." He thought back to his childhood and remember the girl, of who's name caught his attention. She had long black hair, ice blue eyes, red eyeliner, and wore a tight black sleeveless v-neck shirt, and tight black pants. She was one of the few that actually wore her head band on her head.

Her fingernails were painted black. There was just something about her...he thought about her for the longest times, until his sister, Tamari walked in.

"Gaara, are you alright?" she asked.

He was started, he sat up and looked at her. "I am fine. I was just remembering. Here, I want you to get Ryu Kitsune."

Tamari took the note that was sealed with the Sand Village Wax Seal and left for her trip to Konhona. One day later, she arrived at the Hokage's Office. She didn't even bother to inform his sectary that she wanted to see him, instead she just walked in, wishing she could have thought about it twice. She saw the head of the ANBU Assassination Squad kissing Naruto. She cleared her throat and they looked up.

"T-Tamari?" questioned Naruto.

"Hello Naruto, Sasuke," replied Tamari. Then she added, "I see you are welcoming your squad leader home. I can just go check in to the hotel and come back later." Sasuke and Naruto just starred at her blankly.

"You're, you're not grossed out?" asked Sasuke, since Naruto was unable to speak. His best friend's sister just saw them kiss.

"Why should I be? I think it's good that you two are together. It's about time," she told them. The both were blushing.

"Thanks Tamari...so, um, what do you have for me today?" asked Naruto.

"This" she handed him the scroll.

He opened it and looked at it, "Ryu Kitsune?" She shook her head yes.

"Okay, I'll send for her, if you don't mind waiting?"

She smiled and replied, "I'll be in my room. You two have fun." And then she left a blushing Sasuke and Naruto.

Sasuke then turned to him and said, "Where were we?"

A couple of hours later there was a knock at Tamari's door. She got up from her bed and answered it. She looked at the girl, who looked about the same as she did in her youth, but was dressed in the outfit of the jonin and had her hair pulled back, though she was not wearing the red eyeliner.

"It's been a long time," Tamari said to her guest as she welcomed her in.

They sat down at the table and she asked, "Why did Lord Kazekage send for me?" Tamari looked at her and replied, "Because, your name was the only one he noticed from the list and he remembered you from the exams."

Kitsune looked at her and blinked for a few minutes and replied, "Wait, I remember him now. He almost killed Rock Lee," Tamari thought to herself, "Oh god, this is bad," then she replied, "Yes, but Lee has long forgave him, and they are now friends. I guess it also helped that Lee was with Naruto when he went and saved my brother. Because of Naruto and Lee, my brother can finally sleep, now that his demon is dead."

Kitsune looked at Tamari and then closed her eyes, she know that Naruto went to save Gaara and that both Gaara and Naruto no longer had their demons, but she was not aware of Lee's involvement. She thought some more, and then mentally slapped herself. Of course, Team Guy was sent, too.

"Sorry that I over reacted, I should have known better" Tamari smiled at her, "It's okay. So, we leave in the morning at sun up." She left Tamari's room and went back home to pack. She didn't know how long she would be gone, so she asked Lee to look after her cat.

"So, you are going to go to the Sand Village?" he asked her as she was in her room packing and he was holding the now-sleeping cat.

"Yes, I guess Gaara needs a guard for his trip to the Mist Village."

"Blood Mist?" asked Lee in concern.

"One in the same," she replied.

"Be careful Kitsune," he replied.

"Don't worry, I will."

The next day, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, and Lee walked to the village's north gate saw Tamari and Kitsune out.

They walked in silence for about an hour, when Tamari spoke first. "So, are you worried about something?"
Kitsune thought about it for a moment and replied, "I am worried that I will do something that will upset him and I will become a victim of his sand."
Tamari smiled and replied, "He hardly has his sand with him anymore, although he does use it on his travels, but there is no need to worry, the sand won't hurt you. He can control it now, and there is nothing to fear, but fear itself."
Somehow Kitsune found comfort in those words. Final it was time to meet the Kazekage. She took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" asked Gaara from the other side of the door.
"Ryu Kitsune" she replied.
"Come."
The door swung open by itself. She walked in and saw the man, once a boy whom she feared, sitting behind his desk. She smiled; he didn't look scary at all. In fact he was, for the lack of better words, cute. She walked in front of the desk and stood there until she was told otherwise.
"You can sit" he said, still looking at his paperwork. She did as he asked and waited until he was finished. Finally, about 15 minutes later, he looked up and was talking back to her.
"Are you alright Lord Kazekage?" she asked him.
He said the first thing that came to mind, because without his demon, he didn't know better as it were.
"You're beautiful."
She blushed, and thought to herself, "Something I didn't expect, especially from him."
Then she replied to him, "Thank you and you're not bad looking yourself." He was taken back by this comment.
"Sorry, ever since the day my demon was killed, I just speak what's on my mind." She looked at him and said, "There is no need to worry Gaara, it's okay," she spoke in a soft and reassuring voice.
"Thank You, so anyways, you are here because I need a guard, or more like some one to just keep me company, while I travel to the Mist Village to work on a possible treaty. Are you willing to still go?" She smiled at him, not many people did.
"Of course, but do you need anything else?"
He looked at her and said, "No, you can go." She got up, but before she could reach the door, he shouted, "Wait." She stood there and waited for him to come to her. He reached her and then asked, "Would you go to dinner with me tonight?"
She turned to him and smiled, "I would love to."
He smiled back and said, "I'll pick you up around 7. Dress nice, please?"
She smiled back, "Of course."
