Melody of the sand
Tayuya was quiet fo the rest of the day, she and Gaara took turns staring at each other looking away when the other looked. When the sun finally set she decided to have some fun. She jumped out her window and ran down the street. Gaara was on his balcony he saw tayuya running with a smile on her face .he decided to follow. Tayuya ran all the way to a forest, she bowed then continued. Gaara looked at her and smiled. She ran for another ten minutes before coming to a clearing. Gaara had never seen this place before. There was a huge statue of a woman in armor holding a flute that looked similar to Tayuya.
Tayuya bowed on her knees before the statue. She finally said "Lady Ayame, guide me." Gaara watched with a smile Tayuya raised her flute to her lips and blew. Music rang through the forest. the statue began to glow, and animal like noises began to sound. Minutes later Tayuya stopped playing and bowed once more. She then said "Lady Ayame you speak through the demons, I will do as you have instructed my mistress." she ran forward, Gaara watched as the statue disappeared. He looked in amazement, how did she do that? He thought. He jumped from his tree, there was a howling sound, and Tayuya stopped running Gaara stopped as well he was about to jump away, when Tayuya turned to face him . "What are you doing here?" she asked with an afraid look on her face. Gaara starred at her for a moment before answering "I'm sorry...when you left..out impulse..I'm sorry" He looked down at his feet.
"It's ok I guess...What all did you see?" she asked stepping toward him. Gaara looked up and said "everything since you left the house.."She looked at him with a smile and said "I'm sure you want an explanation." "It would help." He said stepping forward. The two began to walk side by side. "Well.. My name is Tayuya Yagami, I come from a clan of demon charmers, protectors if you will. That statue is of our leader Lady Ayame of the demons .I'm the last living member of our clan, that statue is a form of Ayame's spirt. She speaks through the demons, we have to play that song to get her to answer our questions. Rem saw you and told me that you were following me." she finished as they reached the gates of the sand village.
A sad smile spread across her lips. She stopped for a moment then continued walking. Gaara grabbed her wrist her and pulled her back, she spun around surprised. She felt two arms wrap around her back, and pull her forward. She kept quiet surprised. Her lips collided with Gaara's, her eyes got wide but she did not resist. She stood there in his arms her lips pressed against his. Moments later he pulled away, and pulled her up aganist his chest. She began to smile while her head rested on his shoulder. Almost a minute later she pulled away and began to laugh.
"What's so funny"he said beginning to smile. She grabbed his hand and pulled through the streets laughing. When they reached their house even Gaara was laughing. Tayuya jumped to her wind sill, and waved goodbye. Gaara waved back and jumped to his balcony. Tayuya was already sleeping, and Gaara was sitting in his bed smiling at the ceiling.
The next morning Tayuya woke early and got ready quickly. Today they had a mission. Tayuya ran down the steps, narrowly avoiding Kankuro. "Tayuya you're in a hurry." Kankuro said adjusting his hat. "Sorry." tayuya said. "Are you ok?" Kankuro said feeling her forehead. Just fine you fucking little shit!." She yelled flipping kankuro over shoulder and slamming him on the ground. "Yeah she's okay." he said coughing up blood. She walked into the kitchen to see Temari and Gaara at the door. She followed not talking only exchanging looks with gaara. They finally reached their sensei who was drinking.
"Moving your fucking drunken ass!" Tayuya yelled as she kicked him.. "He snapped out of his drunken confusion and said "oh yeah, the mission. Leaf village protection from the sound." he smiled a big grin. Tayuya's eyes got wide and she began to smile. "You heard him let's go." she said running ahead. Temari ran after her and Gaara ran at her side. Kankuro stayed with their sensei and walked. Within an hour they reached the leaf village. Tayuya was greeted by a hug from Sakura. "Get off of me!" she yelled peeling her off. "Sorry I wanted to thank you for bringing Sasuke back I needed a new punching bag." she said dragging Tayuya up to Naruto and Sasuke. Sasuke was the first to say something. "Why did you leave?" Tayuya's face tightened as she bit her lip and yelled "That fucking shit of an old man, killed my clan so I left!" She punched a near by tree and it split in half. Gaara wrapped one arm to restrain her. She relaxed in his arm, and released her fist.
They continued to the Hokage's office. She was drunk as well. Tayuya and the woman explained the living arrangements "Sasuke can take two, Naruto can take two and Sakura can take one." Temari stepped close to Sakura and said "I'll stay with her." she said smiling. "Kankuro, and I will stay with Naruto." Baki said happily "That leaves us with sasuke" Gaara said in a bored tone. "Great now that is cleared up, I'm bored what do you brats do for fun around here?" Tayuya said yawning. "We train!" Naruto said smiling. "You call that fun? Man you guys are boring."Tayuya said walking toward the window. Sasuke grabbed her wrist, she spun around to meet him face to face. "What the fuck do you want?" she asked impatiently. "Then why did you join?" he asked his eyes pleading. "I was five and I didn't remeber much. I didn't know that fucking bastard killed them." She said angrily trying to punch the wall but was stopped by sand.
"You should really stop asking her questions." Gaara suggested
while he restrained Tayuya. Sasuke nodded and Tayuya once again stepped on to the sill and jumped out. Gaara followed Happily.
