A/N: Sorry to all my readers who loved the little sentences at the end of each chapter! It's just that it's really hard to think of some and then I have to make the chapters relate to the sentence! Gwah! But something different I will do is I'm going to do something called so-so's Big Day! Like for example if I chose Naruto I would write about his terrific day and what not! (That's where your daily dose of comedy comes from! I think...) :D Those won't come until later in the story. I hope you like this chapter!
Dumb Thoughts
It was the first time in a long time that Gaara had called Reiko by her name. Whenever he needed her he would just grunt and sigh. Was he sick or something? Was he going crazy?! Non the less Reiko responded by looking at him. He stood up and walked towards her. 'Holy crap! What's he going to do?' She asked herself. He sat up from his chair, striding towards her.
"What the hell?" She said breathlessly. He stepped in front of her. His face was so close to hers, Reiko could feel his warm breath flake off her skin. Her face became a bright red color. She felt his hands cradle her face. His skin was rough to the touch, but yet so soft to her smooth skin. Reiko's face was burning hot. 'What is he doing?!" She screamed in her head. He pulled her face closer to his, their li-
"Reiko!" A voice growled. Reiko blinked then jumped. He was standing there, really standing there. Reiko jumped back a few feet, his face expressionless. He didn't notice how red Reiko was, he never really notice anything. He held a piece of paper with words scribbled onto them, they were too tight together to make them out. He waited for them to make eye contact before he spoke.
"I want you to take this to Konoha, and give it to Tsunade-sama." He said with no color. He handed the paper to her, Reiko snatched it from his hands.
"What's the paper for?" She asked him, looking down onto the white page. Gaara looked up at her, his face expressionless.
"It's nothing important enough to discuss." He said strolling back to his desk. Reiko's fingers coiled into a fist. 'Damn! Is nothing important to discuss?!' She stormed out of the room, the pot of tea boiling in the other room.
..........
A black a backpack slung from Reiko's shoulder, her shadow following closely. Her lips curved down into a frown.
"And now I have to walk all the way to Konoha when the sun is almost setting." She groaned, her arms folded towards her body. Her feet clicked against the hard ground, the sun sitting just above the horizon. It was dark enough to light a candle, but still light enough to see without one. This walking went on for eternity, but it had only been two hours. Reiko looked around, she had heard rustling from the bushes. She opened the little pouch that hung from her thigh, pulling a gray kunai out. Mutters emerged from the bushes, and more rustling occurred.
"Sakura-chan! I think I found it!" A voice called.
"If you found it then shut up! You'll scare it away!" Said a more feminine voice. Just then a small black cat ran from the bushes, Reiko jumped falling onto her bottom. The cat stopped and stared at Reiko, it's eyes just as yellow as the sun. It walked over to her and hid behind her back. Then a boy hopped out, a girl following.
"Where'd it go?!" He yelled looking around. His eyes went over Reiko once, not noticing her. He looked again this time he jumped.
"Whoa! I didn't see you there!" He said with a smile. The girl behind him smacked him from behind.
"Shut up! Or you'll scare her away too!" The girl said, boy grabbing his head.
"Did you see a small black cat walk past here?" The girl asked politely. Reiko sighed, her lips curving up into a smile. She turned around, pulling the cat into her grasp.
"Is this it?" Reiko asked handing the girl the cat. She smiled.
"Yes it is!" The girl said pulling the cat to her chest. The boy turned his head to stare at Reiko, his eyes scanned her body. His eyes stopped at her waist, staring at the symbol on the metal plaque.
"Is something wrong?" Reiko asked, the boy straightening his back.
"Nothing at all. It's just that you're from the Suna Village aren't you?" He asked, a smile drew on his face. Reiko nodded, she stared at the symbol that sat in the metal plaque. She was in luck! She had met up with leaf ninja! Her smile grew.
"So what are you doing out here all alone?" He asked.
"I"m running an errand for his Kazekage-sama." Reiko answered. The two looked at Reiko astonished.
"You work for Gaara?" The boy asked. Reiko nodded, they both looked at each other.
"We haven't heard from him since...." The girl paused, counting on her fingers.
"Three months ago...." She finished. Reiko nodded. She liked leaf ninja, they were nice. Also they were so welcoming and warm. If she met some else she surely would've never come back.
"So what's your name?" The boy asked while the three walked down the dirt path.
"Reiko." She said, cool air brushing past her face. The boy nodded.
"My name's Uzumaki Naruto and I'm gonna be Hokage one day dattebayo!" Said Naruto.
"I'm Haruno Sakura!" Sakura chimed. Reiko smiled at the two. The three of them walked down the dirt path, the sun waving farewell. Their feet clicked against the firm ground, tall red gates greeted them.
"Well here we are!" Naruto sang. Reiko looked beyond the gates. Lights gleamed, the rejoice of voices filled the blank air. She gazed in the happiness of what was Konoha.
