A Long Story Short. Let's Kick Butt in Konoha!
What a beautiful day.
Black hair swayed in a dry summer breeze as she watched a desert mouse being swallowed by a snake. Her feet were burrowed into the burning hot sand. Her lips, dry and brittle from dehydration were pulled into a smile as the soft whisper of moving sand reached her ears.
"Kagome." A monotone voice came from behind her.
"Gaara-chan." She licked the blood from her spit lip.
"We're leaving."
"Is that so? For what? I've completely forgotten." she replied airily as she furrowed her brow.
"The chuunin exams Kagome-chan. We've been talking about it for weeks." It was Temari.
When did they get here?
"Ah, you mean the invasion. Are you excited Gaara-chan?" Bright blue eyes twinkled as she stared at her precious person. He stared blankly at her, not answering, but the look in his eyes was more than enough of a response for her.
They were full of bloodlust.
His hands clenched in an effort to contain himself. Her smile grew even larger. Her Gaara-chan would finally have the opportunity to stretch his muscles, finally have the chance to release the demon inside of him. It would be truly wondrous.
"Let's go then! If Gaara-chan is excited then I am too!" She then proceeded to skip away.
"Wait, Kagome-chan. I have your pack. Kagome-chan! Damn it. I. Said. WAIT!" The blonde chucked the heavy bag, hitting Kagome directly in the back of the head, causing the small girl to topple over.
"Ne, Temari-chan. So mean! Itai..."
Baki and Kankuro sighed and shook their heads as they watched Temari then rush over to the crying girl and cradle her in her arms.
"What a couple of idiots. Gaara, you really need to keep her under control, especially once we reach Konoha. She'll cause a scene and draw attention to us."
Gaara slid cold sea foam eyes to his brother, who flinched at the eye contact.
"Kagome is none of your concern. She knows her role in this mission and will perform it well."
Kankuro paused and let Gaara continue ahead of him.
"Gaara-chan! Let me walk next to you!" Kagome ran up to the ginger and grabbed his sash all the while Gaara did not stop moving and did not look at her. Nonetheless, Kagome smiled brightly as if he had offered to escort her on his own.
For the next several hours, Kagome talked rapidly and without pause. Normally, this kind of behavior would not go unpunished by Gaara. However, it was well known in Suna that Gaara and Kagome's relationship was a strange one and that Kagome was very special to the demon container. So it was no surprise that Kagome eventually maneuvered her hand into Gaara's. And when she did, an impressive red blush spread across her face. It stayed there until the walls of Konoha were in seeing distance.
"Kagome." Gaara rasped.
The great gates of Konohagakure opened and the girl's soft sea blue eyes hardened to ice as all traces of emotion vanished from her face.
"Hai, Gaara-sama I know what to do. I will not fail you."
