Help me to cope ch.2
"Let me go with you."
" No. I can't let you endanger Suna 's peace treaty " Naruto retorted stubbornly. He was currently in said village, repacking all the bounty heads.
"I'm still coming with you"
Naruto gave an exasperated sigh. Gaara could be an unreasonably determined person. Very much so.
He was in the Kazekage's room, which was decorated with the color red in mind. The blood red of the giant of a bed against the back wall, facing the door. The wood that made up the dresser and bed posts was a dull cherry red. A heavy set of curtains draped over both of the windows, its dips and folds set in an almost deliberate and intricate pattern.
That too was red.
They had arrived an hour ago; Gaara never once letting go of Naruto's shoulder while they walked . Needless to say, Naruto, in Gaara's possessive grip, had trouble walking. Until Gaara was almost dragging him.
Not that Gaara minded. At all.
As long as he was in contact with his kitsune.
Currently, Gaara was going to Konoha and then retrieving Sasuke with Naruto.
At least, according to him.
"What about you Kazekage duties here? You can't just bail on Suna!" Naruto fought back, looking over his shoulder at the red head. His eyes were defiant. He was going.
"Kankuro and Temari would probably scare the villagers less. And they have done kage duties before" he answered flatly.
Naruto was quickly running out of excuses. Racking his brain for more while packing the last head, until a thin wiry arm snaked around his shoulders and held him closer to a warm body.
" I won't let you go again." came the cold final answer from the red head. Naruto slumped against him in defeat. "Hai, hai…" he muttered.
Naruto swore he could feel Gaara smirk against his nape.
"Gaara, are you ready to depart?" Asked a voice from the doorway.
Gaara shifted slightly so he had an arm draped over Naruto and was still facing the door.
"Yes Kankuro. Give my thanks to Temari when she gets back from her mission" Gaara replied in perfect monotone. Naruto nudged him in the ribs and pouted.
"Call her nee-san." he whined. The red head raised an invisible eyebrow. "nee-san…" he murmured, the word foreign on his tongue.
Kankuro almost smiled at h the sight. This Naruto was getting through Gaara's impenetrable shield. In more ways than one.
Plus, they seemed to be in love, Kankuro reasoned, perfect blackmail material. If he ever wanted a death wish.
Personally, he didn't care about his brother's preference. He had sent a bird to Temari that explained the current situation. She had written back and dismissed his worries. She wrote:
'With his values of love so distorted, it's a wonder he recognized love when he saw it. I f he found it in Naruto, who are we to take away his only comfort?'
The two in front of him were both robbed of a proper childhood. Naruto gave away love but gone none in return. Gaara longed for love, but found nothing as well. But they found each other. Ironic.
"Next time you see her, say nee-san" Naruto said holding one finger up as if he were lecturing. Gaara looked at him, rapt attention.
"And Kankuro can be aniki or onii-chan." continued Naruto.
Kankuro gave a small smile and said, "We can tell her when Temari gets back."
"You won't have to. I'm already here." came a female's voice from behind Kankuro.
The blonde kunoichi was garbed in her usual attire. Her four ponytails spikier than usual. She was holding a glass of water, about to take a sip.
Gaara looked at her and slowly said, "Hello Temari-neesan."
Silence reigned.
SMASH!!
Temari gad dropped her glass of water in shock, and her face was drained of all color. But the other two weren't paying attention to her.
Naruto shifter his pack on his shoulders " let's go, we might reach Konoha by nightfall" Naruto said grinning and pulling Gaara towards the exit.
When they reached the siblings they both bowed and passed them.
Kankuro got out of his shock first and yelled at the retreating backs, "BYE LITTLE BRO!" Gaara waved back with one arm, the other held fast onto Naruto.
As they were going through the doorway they heard Temari shout, "Come back soon otouto!"
Naruto elbowed Gaara and smiled "told ya." the red head smiled back slightly and nodded.
XxXxXxXxX
"That kid is good for him" Temari noted. Kankuro nodded his agreement.
"But…" he drawled, concerned, "what will happen when his is taken form Gaara? He can't stay here forever y'know; the hidden leaf will want him back"
Temari kept her gaze out the window until the two figures disappeared completely into the endless sands.
"I don't want to think about it
XxXxXxXxX
"Did you hear? Sakura got mad at Naruto again and he left on a month long mission."
"Really? How many nins this time"
"25"
One of the ANBU heard the gossip between the jounins and turned to his partner.
"That'll take a while, hope he isn't too broken like last time" he said.
The other took his time before answering, "Haruno is an idiot with a schoolgirl crush. And Naruto-san is the one to pay the price for her ignorance"
"hn. Hey Neji. Travelers, lets go!" Kiba said from his post while pointing.
And true enough two figures emerged from the edge of the forest and onto the main path. Neji and Kiba as guards of the southern gate, were instantly at where the two figures were.
Kunais pointed to vital organs Neji said, "state your name and business please."
One of the figures was robed in a red desert coat. The hood covering all of his face in darkness. The other was in a similar cloak except theirs was sandy brown.
"Naruto Uzumaki, reporting to Hokage about finished mission" the figure in red said. Neji calmed down a notch. Kiba nudged the other figure, "now you"
The figure stayed silent. Then a cold voice they had feared since the Chunnin exams spoke, "the Kazekage does not need to speak freely about his business" startled, the two guards bowed briefly and opened the gates.
"you scare everyone but me. Why?" Naruto asked curiously peering at Gaara through his hood.
Gaara gazed at his and let a soft smile grace his features before quickly disappearing.
"NARUTO!!"
Shuriken headed strait towards the blonde's head and met something solid with a dull 'thunk'. Naruto opened his eyes and
saw a wall of sand.
"Gaara…"Naruto breathed. He looked over at the red head who looked just as surprised as he did.
He closed his eyes, breathed deeply and said, "Shukaku doesn't want you harmed.." then he turned his head at the direction where the shuriken were thrown from.
Sakura, oblivious to Gaara standing right there came up t o Naruto and backhanded him. Gaara snarled ferally and gathered his chakra while Sakura was yelling at the blond.
"how dare you! Taking a break while Sasuke-kun is somewhere out there! You don't even try! Always coming back without a scrat--!" she was stopped by a killing intent
"Sakura…" came a growl before a gist slammed into the side of the kunoichi's face. The force slamming her into a wall.
"DON'T EVER SHOUT AT MY OTOUTO!!" yelled Tsunade, retrieving her fist. She had had enough of Sakura's ignorance.
She looked over her shoulder and whispered, "shit..!!". Sand was collecting around the fallen girl until it completely enveloped her. She could look at everyone through her prison.
She was crying and an ugly purple bruise welling up at the side of
her face. Sobs racked her body as she twisted violently.
Even Tsunade wasn't sure if she could go against the angered jinchuuriki. She looked at his eyes.
They were hard, pale chips of ice. Diamond pupils that showed no humanity and no mercy.
Naruto sighed wearily and slung his arm around Gaara's shoulder and drew him close murmuring how it wasn't worth his time. The hard eyes turned back to their cool pale green.
Gaara realized he still had his fingers in the position for Sabaku Sousou and let the sand go, reluctantly. He stared at the twitching form on the ground.
"is this why you fight? or this so-called 'precious person'?" he asked disgustedly looking at Sakura.
"you brat!"
Naruto ducked and hid behind Gaara, waiting for a hit. Instead they were both engulfed by Tsunade's hug.
" idiot. You are the biggest moron I've ever seen" Tsunade said shakily . The two jinchuuriki looked up at the Hokage; only to see
that she was on the verge of tears.
Naruto smiled weakly, "don't cry Tsunade-Obaasan." then he held up the bag full of sealed heads.
"I came to collect my money for these missing ninjas!" he yelled cheerfully. Tsunade sniffed and then scrubbed her eyes with her hands.
She cheered up at the look on the counsel's faces when they gave Naruto his money. "yeah! Let's go rub it in those bastards' faces!" she yelled pointing toward the Hokage tower.
The two demon containers sweat dropped as they were dragged along.
XxXxXxXxX
"thanks for coming with him, Gaara" Tsunade said to him once they stepped out of the counsel room, loads richer.
Gaara nodded in acknowledgement and turned to Naruto as a sign to go. That and grabbing him by the waist and drawing him closer gave Naruto a clue at what Gaara was saying.
Since he'd never been in love before, let's just say he didn't fully comprehend the subject of "human modesty". So he didn't know that a make-out session just outside the Hokage tower, not to mention in front of said Hokage, was a tiny bit err…wrong.
Tsunade turned red and coughed to get their attention. They paused and looked at her, annoyed. She sweat dropped.
"well I guess now I understand and Naruto…" she turned to face said blonde, " I wholeheartedly approve!" she said tears in her eyes.
Naruto turned pink and bowed then headed towards the exit, Gaara sticking to him like a shadow.
Tsunade smiled, "now…to get Jiraiya to work on Icha Icha paradise : Yaoi edition.." she grinned evilly.
Somewhere in a woman's bathhouse a white haired pervert sneezed.
XxXxXxXxX Some forest near Sound XxXxXxXxX
"that was…embarrassing" Naruto muttered, as they jumped from tree branch to tree branch . Gaara stayed by his side and said in a serious voice, "we are going to finish that."
"yes…but in a different atmosphere. None of that fluffy, lovey-dovey crap… but where?" Naruto agreed leaning suggestively against Gaara.
Amazingly, they still kept on jumping in rhythm with each other.
"how about in a battlefield of blood from slaughtered sound nins? Mm…" he replied nuzzling Naruto's hair, remembering how the blood mingled with his scent.
Naruto smirked while stopping in front of the Oto village gate.
Both flared their chakra using Kyuubi's and Shukaku's to augment their own. Needless to say, they and everyone in the Otogakure (?) felt the power surge through them.
Naruto's eyes were a blood red and his whiskers were darker and jagged. Gaara's pupils were diamonds once more while the pale teal turned to gold.
"Let's go create a bloodbath, ne Shukaku?" the new hanyou purred, flexing his claws while his tails swished dangerously.
'Shukaku' kicked the whole gate down with minimal effort, "After you Kyuubi" he growled.
The two demon hanyou's walked strait into one of the most dangerous hidden villages; identical grins on both their faces.
--owari--
In case some of you didn't get that last part. Calling each other their respective demon names means that they have morphed; only a little bit though. So they've lost their humanity for a bit and the only other thing besides their humanity is the demons. So they call themselves that --pant--
Makes sense?
No?
Good.
NOW… did you guys like that Sakura bashing? I think for this one I'm going to go easy on Sasuke and harder on Sakura. He shall be slightly forgiven by Naruto and she shall be damned. DAMNED I SAY!! MUAHAHAHAHA--cough cough--
where was I ?
--henchman holds cue card--
Oh yes!
MUAHAHAHAA REVIEW PLEASE!!
