Brother May I
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Chapter Two:
Haruhi sat on her bed, staring at the bag that was already stuffed with tissue paper and the gift for Gaara.
"Stupid Kazekage... I got Gaara the best gift yet!" She looked to her bed that she made before jumping,
"CRAP!" She forgot to make Gaara's, she was so hung up on his birthday down in the ballroom, she forgot her chores.
Jumping and running from her bed she raced into the hall, darting up the stair case. Barefoot like always, she wore her baby blue skirt with black trimming, her matching tank-top and over jacket with a giant heart on the back, Haruhi loved the color blue and white.
Her platinum blond hair pulled up in pigtails and soft curls falling down, she always tried to find her parents but never could.
Gaara once said she didn't come from Suna, but where else could she come from? She looked over the country and town multiple time and checked the death logs many times, no one looked anything or nearly resembled her.
Haruhi sighed as she entered his room and found him in the shower, maybe he didn't notice his disheveled bed, giving her the chance to make it now and escape.
Haruhi pulled the sheets and pillow together and was pulling the comforter up to meet them when someone grabbed the other side and helped her slide it up.
"Thanks..." Haruhi looked up to see Gaara smirking, "Ohh... Hi Gaara"
He shook his head, patting her hand and walking off toward his closet in his towels.
This wasn't the first time she forgot to make his bed, and somehow he always caught her, no matter how hard she tried.
"Darn... you saw me... you know, Gaara, one day you won't catch me!" Haruhi claimed, tucking in the blankets and putting her patted touch on the pillows.
"Sure" He called back, pulling on pants and a ripped tank-top and walking out, drying his hair with a towel.
"You know, all you ninja's are the same, you think your so cool with your cat like grace and smug looks!" Haruhi groaned, playfully glaring at Gaara and huffing.
"And?"
"And it would be nice if for once I could be a ninja!" Haruhi stated in a whiny voice, "But... I'm lame and have to be normal... anywho! I'm gonna go down for dinner... Don't go in my room!" Haruhi stated, pointing at finger at him and marching away.
"Okay?" Shrugging he sat on his bed and rolled his shoulders.
She didn't see it, did she? She was so incredible dense all the time, so Naive to everything.
Many guys flirted with her, and many guys likes her, but Gaara was the only one she talked to honestly and openly. She could have any man she wanted, and she chose to hang out with Gaara? He loved her, he knew it since they met when they were three, he knew she was the only one he loved more than himself.
...Brother may I...
Naruto was in his room faster than he ever had moved during a rain storm. The lightening wasn't the problem, well it was, but it was how it was coming down and stricking things.
Kakashi said to just go home and didn't want their medical bills to pay, so they all ran home in the freezing rain.
It didn't matter though, Naruto couldn't get his latest problem out of his mind.
How to get his broken family fixed?
He wanted to meet Haruhi and see if she was just as obnoxious and loud as he was.
He wanted to find Pain and get him to be good again, and be their older brother like he was supposed to be.
Sakura called him foolish for even thinking about finding the Akkatsuki, especially after they tried to take his Kyuubi from him.
Sasuke called him a loser, but Naruto secretly thought Sasuke was jealous that Naruto possibly knew where they were and wouldn't tell him.
Sasuke would have to find his brother on his own, Naruto would find his!
That's when he decided! Naruto was going to find them!
Pulling out his bag, he began to stuff it with clothes then other stuff he brought with him on missions. He would just have to find a bubbly blond in Suna, tell her everything, show her the pictures, and prove to her that he was her twin.
Then they would both go after Pain, and convince him that they needed him.
It was fool proof!
That's when the lightening struck hard on the ground and Naruto winced.
"Maybe I'll start out tomorrow" He stated, nodding and ducking into the covers instead, deciding he would leave tomorrow night, besides, he would need cash and other items to get around.
A map, would be a biggy.
That's when an envelope came sliding through his mail slot on his door.
To Naruto:
What are you doing, thinking of writing to me?
So much of becoming the greatest ninja like my cohorts said you wanted to be. Walking in dad's footsteps might not be the best idea.
Don't you even think of trying to get this family back together, I will kill you both and not regret it!
I'm not a good person Naruto, I'm not Nice, I'm not loving... I'm not your older brother anymore Naruto, you're on your own, you should learn to live lonely if you're going to be hokage someday, Hokages can't love someone because they always end up dying!
The last letter I will ever send,
Pain
...Brother May I...
Pain sat on a giant rock, watching Konan fold a paper bird that began to fly above the ground and look around for the man they were looking for.
The man had stolen Konan's ring and tried to pawn it off, now he was going to die for it.
Pain watched the bird dive between trees and the two were off in an instant, following the green paper bird.
He was easy to find, seeing as the man was talking loudly to a trader in the forest. He had a very obvious tattoo sprayed over his bare back and held the ring in his hand as he talked to the trader.
"Come on, it's from the Akatsuki, it has to count for something?" The man whimpered, looking to the trader who shook his head.
"I love living thank you very much"
"Don't you love money?"
"We do"
The trader ran off with his cart through the woods while the dirt caked man stood still, in shock.
"It's a criminal offence to steal items that aren't yours" Konan snarled, grabbing the bird from the branch and unfolding it, letting the chakra return to her skin.
"Well... I..."
Before he could even talk, Pain forced his hand through his chest and pulled it back, watching the man drop to the ground, blood leaking from his chest.
Ding... Cling
The ring rolled across the ground to the feet of Konan, who slipped it back on with a smirk.
"Thank you Pain" She turned and walked away from the sight. That's when Pain looked up to the sky with a sigh,
"It does look like rain"
