"... Before that... We need to get you some proper clothes..." He said looking away from you as he blushed from ear to ear

"Aahh..!" Embarrassed. You covered yourself with his oversized jacket.

He sighed " consider yourself lucky." He said as he took of his shirt and handed it to you "wear this and use the jacket to cover the rest. Go change behind that rock*points*. I'll keep watch"

"... Ok.." You took his jacket and slowly made your way to the huge rock he pointed to

"...Don't peak"

"I WON'T!"

-after you changed-

" it's not much but it covers what needs to be cover" you said

"... Y-y-y-y-yeah" *blushes*

You wore his shirt as a top and used his jacket as a skirt. Well... Almost a skirt

"Even if I think you're not from here. You were lying on suna's territory.. I should bring you to go see gaara. Maybe he'll know who you are. And he'll have proper clothes with him too.."

"Ohh..." You said "but how are you going to get me to a village..? I'm too weak to do anything but walking.. And I see no village in sight, so it has to be far away.."

"Yeah it is..." He sighed.

"WOAHHHH!" You screamed

"Guess I just havta give you a piggyback ride all the way there. You just better hang on. I'm pretty fast on my feet " he said with his cocky smile.

But.. You weren't very comfortable being piggybacked when only a piece of shirt separates your bare body from his.

"... I can walk" you whispered.

"It'll take forever"

"... But this is embarrassing"

"How so?"

"...*blushes*"

"Well? How so?" He says before turning to look at you

"Erk.. *blushes too*" He saw your blushing face and uncomfortable position and realised the situation.

"... I get it" he said

"..."

" this is embarrassing for me too. But the sooner we get there, the sooner we find out who you are and the sooner you get proper clothes. So just trust me ok?"

"Mnn.." You said, giving a meek nod as you put your hands over his shoulder and hugged him from the back.

"Ok. Here we go"

"... E-EEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK" you screamed as he started to run at breakneck speed.

After awhile you just started laughing.

"H-hey.. You alright?"

"YEAH! This is just really fun" you said as your long black hair danced in the wind.

"Hahahahahahaha" he bursted out laughing.

"..w-what...?"

"Nah. It's just. No regular girl would be having fun at this speed. Most of them are scared witless. They even get dizzy"

"..."

" and usually, I only give piggyback rides to people that I've already known for a while. Even clients. But you.. This is your first time and we just met. And you're laughing"

"..."

"YAH! You better reply every time I talk to you. You got that? It makes me seem like chatter box"

He actually was quite the chatter box

"..."

He stopped moving

"I drop you right here and leave if you don't"

"FINE! Im sorry " you said while pouting and hugging him tighter. Hoping not to be dropped in the desert you were just rescued from.

"Y-y-ahh..! T-t-o...oo tight"

"Ahh. Sorry..." You said after loosening your grip around his neck.

" *cough* *cough* it's ok..."

He continued to run with you on his back for a few hours until you finally reach the sand village's kazekage office.

*pant* his shoulders heaved. You knew that he was tired after running for hours with you on his back in the scorching heat.

You could feel beads of his and your sweat run down each of your bodies. You could tell that even with his toned muscular body, there was no way he wouldn't be tired.

"You can put me down now"

"Ahh.. *pants* nah it's ok. You don't have shoes on. The floors around here are pretty hot. You'd burn yourself"

"It's ok. I was lying in the desert remember. So I should be ok. So put me down" you said as you wiggled in his arms

"No. It really fine"

"Put me down!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"NOO!"

"YESS!"

A red head came into the room soon after.

".. Ahh.. I knew it was you, naruto" he said while looking at official papers.

" Gaara!" Naruto said. "How are ya?"

"You just left. There isn't much of a difference from then and now" said gaara without looking away from his documents.

You hit naruto

He whispers "I get it already. Jeez" he continued "Ahahahaha... Yeah... Hey! Gaara! You wouldn't have extra clothes on you, would you?"

"Why?"

"You'll have to look at what I'm carrying to get the answer for that" naruto said

Confused, Gaara took a glance at naruto and was instantly shocked.

Naruto was carrying a straight haired dark brunette with slightly sunburnt pale skin with blue eyes that were piecing him.

"What is she doing on your back?"

"SO YOU KNOW HER!?"

"Nope. I was just shocked to see her dressed like that and you without much clothes on."

"... Ahh.. Long story.. But she's not from this village?"

You hated the way they referred to you when you had a name. Even though that was the only thing you remember.

" I don't know everyone in the village but no one around here is as pale as she is"

"Ahh.. So I was right to think she wasn't from here.. Anyways. Clothes..?"

"Oh right" Gaara said "Guards!" And in an instant 2 male ninjas appeared in front of Gaara's table.

"Yes, kazekage-sama?" They said in uniformity

"Bring that girl some proper clothes" he looked at you "is there anything you want specifically? Anything you're comfortable with?"

You hugged naruto tighter as you got confused by his sudden question.

Naruto replied " How about a kimono? Do you have that around here? It'll suit her"

"It's rare but very well. You heard him. Fetch us a kimono suited for that women" said gaara.

"Yes! Kazekage-sama" and they disappeared right in front of your eyes.
