A/N: I do NOT own Naruto. Only the character Jesshika. Bloodytears87 is the owner of Saara.
Three days later we were discharged from the hospital. Genma and Izumo led us out of the hospital. Just as we were outside we saw Sakura out on break. She smiled and waved to Genma and Izumo before jumping up and running over to us. Our brothers stuck close in case something started.
"Saara, Jesshika you've been discharged already?" Sakura asked smiling at us. Genma and Izumo weren't buying it for a second.
"Yeah, Tsunade said we were healthy enough to go home." I said politely.
"That's good. I'm glad you're doing better." Sakura said. Just then Gai-sensei walked up.
"Yosh! I see the most youthful two kunoichi's have been released from the confines of the hospital." he said as he approached us. Saara and I looked at him and groaned.
"Kami kill us now." we muttered. Genma and Izumo heard us and gave us a behave yourself glare before turning back to Gai.
"Hai. We are taking them home now." Izumo said.
"I was wondering if I could just borrow a moment of your time to discuss a certain....matter?" Gai asked.
"Alright. Girls, we'll be right back." Genma said.
"Okay Gennie." I said. They nodded and walked a little way off. We turned back to Sakura when we heard her chuckling.
"So you got dumped by Kankuro and Gaara huh? Why, did they finally realize you aren't good enough for them?" she said smirking.
"You got it all wrong Sakura. We dumped them." Saara said calmly. Sakura raised her brow.
"Oh? Now why don't I believe that?" she asked.
"Believe what you want. Nobody cares." I snapped. Sakura took a step back but kept smirking at us.
"From what I heard, they dumped you cause you cheated on them. With S-ranked criminals no less!" she sneered. Saara and I clenched our hands into fists at our sides.
"At least we could get them interested in us. They wouldn't look at your sorry ass twice." Saara replied. Sakura began full on smiling.
"I wouldn't say that. They were pretty happy when I told them you were dating the Kazekage and his brother." she said. She gasped when she realized what she said and quickly covered her mouth.
"What...what did you just say?" I asked, a dangerous edge to my voice.
"Did you just admit you helped get us kidnapped by them?" Saara said, murderous intent rolling off her in waves.
"No...no. It's not like that." Sakura said, backing away from us. Saara and I looked at each other and nodded. We advanced on her backing her into the corner of the building. Sakura raised her hands over her head and cowered down, visibly shaking. We reared back and began to wail on her with all our might. Saara managed to connect a right hook to her face while I kicked her feet out from under her. Once she was on the ground Saara and I wasted no time in laying into her where ever we could land a punch. Sakura tried to curl up into a ball but we wouldn't let her. We backed off for a few seconds but it was just long enough for her to jump up and try to get away. We gave chase around the side of the hospital where Saara caught up to her and tackled her to the ground. Sakura began to cry as we continued our assault on her. Just as we were about to land another blow, we were suddenly tackled to the ground by some unseen force. Caught off guard we opened our eyes to see what had just happened. Laying on top of us were Sasuke and Naruto.
"Sasuke? What are you doing? Get offa me!" I yelped looking into his dark onyx eyes. I looked over to see Saara staring angrily into Naruto's deep blue eyes.
"Naruto! Let me up! We're going to kill her this time!" Saara yelled.
"We can't do that and you know it." hissed Naruto. Sasuke turned to look at Sakura who was curled up into a ball and sobbing.
"Sakura." he said. Sakura slowly picked up her head and looked in his direction.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll keep your mouth shut." Sasuke said coldly. Sakura nodded slowly before getting up and walking away. Sasuke and Naruto waited a few minutes before getting off of us and helping us to our feet.
"Let's get you out of here before someone see you." Naruto said. We hurried back around to the front of the building and sat down to wait for Genma and Izumo to come back. It didn't take long before they came walking up.
"Ah Sasuke, Naruto. Nice to see you. Girls ready to go?" Genma asked. We went to stand up but Sasuke and Naruto hurriedly grabbed our hands. We looked at them wondering what they wanted. Sasuke spoke up.
"Genma-sensei, would it be alright if we stole the girls for a bit? We were heading to get ramen." he asked. Genma and Izumo thought it over.
"It's alright with me I guess. Just don't be out too late." Genma said.
"Remember you just got discharged so don't eat too much." Izumo said.
"We won't!" we promised.
"We'll make sure they get home safe, Izumo-sensei." Naruto assured them.
"See that you do. Have fun then." Genma said before he and Izumo walked away. Saara and I quickly turned to the guys.
"What was that all about?" I asked. Sasuke and Naruto let go of our hands and held them up by the wrists.
"Don't you think your brothers would get a little worried if they see your hands all bloody?" Sasuke asked eyebrow raised. We looked down at our hands in surprise.
"Shit! What do we do now?" Saara yelled.
"Calm down. Let's go get you bandaged up then head for ramen. We'll figure it out from there." Naruto said. We agreed and allowed the guys to pull us to the Uchiha compound. Once we got there, we went inside and were told to sit down. We jumped up and sat on the counter while Sasuke put a kettle of water on for tea. Naruto went into the bathroom and grabbed the medical kit they kept there. He hurried back to the kitchen and placed the kit on the table opening it as he did so. He pulled out some bandages and tossed some to Sasuke. They quickly got to work cleaning up our hands and before we knew it they were finished. Naruto and Sasuke picked us up off the counter and set us on our feet. The kettle began to whistle, signaling it was ready.
"Sit down." Naruto said while Sasuke went to tend the kettle. Naruto placed four cups on the table before sitting down himself. Sasuke poured the water into the cups and put the kettle back on the stove before sitting next to Naruto.
"Care to tell us what that was all about back there?" he asked casually. We looked at them before averting our eyes elsewhere.
"Come on. We saved your asses with your brothers. You can at least tell us why." Naruto reasoned. We sighed before looking at them.
"Sakura was...saying some....things..." I started.
"And they weren't true! She was rubbing our breakup in our faces!" Saara added angrily.
"What was she saying?" Naruto asked curiously.
"She was saying that they dumped us and we weren't good enough for them." I said.
"Like she can talk. Out of all the girls in our year, you two were picked to be my and Neji's wives." Sasuke said. Naruto looked at us nervously and fidgeted for a bit.
"Naruto is something wrong?" Saara asked.
"I was just wondering why you were in the hospital. Nobody would tell us anything except you hadn't been eating and you were dehydrated." Naruto said.
"Oh umm...well you see..." Saara started.
"Just spit it out. Whatever it is can't be that bad." Sasuke said looking at us.
"The truth is we miss them." I said.
"Them? You mean Gaara and Kankuro?" Naruto asked confused. We shook our heads.
"No. Deidara and Hidan." we said in unison. Sasuke's mouth dropped open and Naruto fell out of his chair. We jumped to our feet looking at Naruto.
"Naruto! Are you alright?" we asked. He nodded and climbed back into his chair. He scratched the back of his head sheepishly while looking at us.
"Just threw me for a minute." he said. We sat back down.
"You do realize they are criminals, right?" Sasuke said.
"Yes, but what no one seems to be getting is that they were super nice to us while we were there." I cried.
"They even tried to save us from the other Akatsuki at the risk of their own lives." Saara pointed out. Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other but said nothing. We finished our tea in silence before Sasuke spoke up.
"We better get to Ichiraku's in case Genma or Izumo come looking for us." he said.
"Yeah, we don't want them worrying about us." Saara said.
"They do that enough already." I muttered. Naruto put his arm around me as we stood up.
"It's only cause they love you." he said.
"I know I know but still." I said. Naruto let go and we left the house heading towards the ramen stand. Once we sat down, Teuchi came out and took our orders.
"Miso ramen with chicken and extra tomatoes." I said.
"Miso ramen with bbq pork and an egg on top." Saara ordered.
"I'll have miso ramen with bbq pork and an egg on top for me too." Naruto said giving his order.
"Just miso ramen with shrimp and tomatoes for me." Sasuke said. Soon our orders came and we chatted while we ate. Once we finished, we stood up to pay before leaving, but Sasuke beat us too it.
"I'll pay." he said simply.
"Sasuke we can't ask you to do that." we said. Sasuke just shook his head.
"What else do I have to spend my money on?" he said. We thanked him and said goodbye to Teuchi. We walked out of the ramen stand and headed back towards our home. Upon reaching it, the door was yanked open.
"Where have you been? Genma and Izumo are out looking for you!" Raidou yelled.
"They are? For what?" Saara asked.
"You two and Naruto were summoned to Tsunade's office." Raidou answered. He flared his chakra twice, letting Genma and Izumo know we were home. Ten minutes later Genma and Izumo came back.
"There you are! Where were you? You weren't at Ichiraku's." Izumo asked.
"We went to my house first to take care of something." Sasuke said.
"That's fine I guess. Hey, what happened to your hands?" asked Genma noticing our hands were bandaged. Saara and I looked at Naruto and Sasuke.
" We got a little light headed while walking and tripped." I said.
"It's just a few scrapes and bruises. Sasuke and Naruto took care of it." Saara added. Genma nodded.
"Alright, lets get going. Tsunade is waiting for us." he said.
"I'm coming too." Sasuke said. Izumo raised a brow at him but said nothing. The six of us hurried to Tsunade's office to see what she wanted. When we got there, Shizune was waiting by the office door.
"Go right in. She's waiting." she said.
"Thanks." Genma said. He opened the door and waited for us to go inside before following. Tsunade looked up as we walked in.
"Genma, Izumo thanks for coming. I see you brought them. Eh? Sasuke what are you doing here?" she asked.
"I was with Naruto and the girls when Raidou told us they were wanted so I came too." Sasuke replied. Tsunade raised a brow.
"That works out in my favor then. I have a mission for the three of you and Kiba, but since he is not back from his first mission, Sasuke you will go in his place." she said.
"A...a mission? But Lady Hokage they just got out of the hospital." Genma protested.
"They will be fine. That's part of the reason I am also sending Naruto and now Sasuke to accompany them." Tsunade told him.
"So what is this mission?" Izumo asked. Tsunade looked at him then turned to Genma.
"This mission has to do with what we discussed before." she said. Saara and I looked at each other. What were they talking about? We turned back to Tsunade.
"Lady Hokage, what exactly is our mission?' I asked.
"Your mission is to locate the two remaining Akatsuki members Hidan and Deidara. And if possible, bring them back here with you. You have four months to complete this mission." Tsunade said. We looked at her in shock.
"Dei...Deidara and Hidan? Why?" Saara asked.
"You...you're not going to kill them are you?" I asked quietly. Tsunade smiled at us.
"No, I want to thank them for helping to rescue you both. They will not be harmed I promise." she said. Saara and I looked at her before running over to hug her.
"Thank you! You don't know how much we want to see them again!" Saara and I cried. Tsunade laughed.
"You had better go get packed. I wish to speak to your brothers for a minute." she said. Laughing we nodded and ran out of the office. Sasuke and Naruto stayed behind, looking at Genma and Izumo.
"Genma, are you okay with this?" Naruto asked.
"No I'm not. But I know if something goes wrong you and Sasuke will protect them." Genma replied. Sasuke turned to Izumo.
"What about you? Are you okay with it?" he asked.
"I don't approve of it but I can't go against the Hokage's orders." Izumo said. Sasuke nodded.
"I suppose you're right." he said.
"Naruto, Sasuke, you had better get ready to leave. I want you out of here in an hour." Tsunade said. Naruto and Sasuke nodded before bowing and leaving the office. Genma and Izumo went to follow them until Tsunade's voice stopped them.
"You do realize it, don't you?" she asked. Genma and Izumo turned around.
"Realize what?" asked Izumo. Tsunade smiled.
"Even though they don't yet realize it themselves, Saara and Jesshika love Hidan and Deidara." she said softly.
"But...but how can that be?" Genma asked shocked.
"You must have known somewhere in the back of your mind. Why else would they constantly talk about them or miss them so much?" Tsunade asked. Izumo sighed and sat down.
"I knew Saara had feelings for Deidara, but I just didn't want to acknowledge it." he admitted. Genma shook his head.
"Of all the people they could have fallen in love with it had to be them?" he asked.
"You both should know you can't help who your heart chooses to love." Tsunade said softly.
"Yeah we know." Izumo replied.
"Lady Tsunade, if they must go, we should inform you we heard Hidan and Deidara were seen near Suna." Genma said.
"Then that is where they should go first." Tsunade said. A knock was heard on the door.
"Enter!" Tsunade yelled. The door opened and Saara, Naruto, Sasuke and I walked in.
"You are ready to go I assume?" Tsunade asked.
"Hai. We're ready." Sasuke said.
"Before you leave, we just received some information." Tsunade said.
"Information? About Hidan and Deidara?" Saara asked.
"Yes, there was a recent sighting of them near Suna. I want you to head there first and as a matter of procedure, you must report to Gaara." Tsunade said.
"Gaara? Can't we just go through without seeing him?" I yelped. Tsunade shook her head.
"I'm afraid not. We don't want to start an incident with them." she said. Saara and I dropped our gazes to the floor.
"We don't want to see them." we said. Tsunade put her arms around us.
"I know you don't. But you will have Naruto and Sasuke with you. They'll help you get through it." she said softly.
"You won't be alone facing them. You've got us too." Naruto stated.
"Besides, if they say anything to upset you, I can always fireball his ass." Sasuke muttered. Saara and I turned to look at him before bursting out laughing. Tsunade, Genma and Izumo looked horrified.
"Uchiha, I would appreciate it if you didn't fireball his ass, as you put it, for any reason." Tsunade said. Sasuke smirked and looked at her.
"No promises." he said. Tsunade rolled her eyes.
"If you do, at least make it worth starting a war over." she said. We started laughing again.
"Don't you think you should get going?" Genma asked. Tsunade looked over at us.
"Yes it's time for you to leave." she said. She pulled us into a hug before stepping back.
"Be careful and hurry home." she said. Genma and Izumo quickly pulled us into hugs as well.
"Take care of yourself Jess. Please be careful and just ignore Kankuro. He isn't even worth your time." Genma said kissing me on the forehead.
"I know, Gennie. I know." I said.
"Saara, like Genma said, just ignore Gaara. Don't let him get to you." Izumo said.
"Right. I'll do my best." Saara replied. We stepped back and started for the door. Genma stepped forward and put his hands on Naruto and Sasuke's shoulders. They turned to look at them questioningly.
"Take care of them." Genma said.
"Don't worry we won't let anything happen to them." Sasuke said.
"I'll protect them even if it costs me my life." Naruto stated defiantly.
"Thank you." Izumo said. We waved goodbye and headed out of the tower and towards the gates. Genma, Izumo and Tsunade watched us out the window as we left the village.
"Do you think they will find them?" Genma asked.
"I don't know but with those girls' determination and their stubbornness they will succeed." Tsunade said.
"They can be pretty stubborn that's for sure." Izumo commented. They kept watching out the window until we could no longer be seen.
We began on the three day journey to Suna. It was really hot but the soothing comfort of shade from the trees made it tolerable. We walked most of the way in silence before stopping to rest for the night. Naruto set up the tent while Sasuke checked the perimeter for any potential threats. Saara and I got to work collecting wood for a small fire. Once we were finished we sat down to wait until Naruto was finished. Sasuke came back just as Naruto sat down next to us. He pulled open his pack and took out a kettle and a canteen of water before pulling out a container of instant ramen. Saara and I opened our packs and took out our own instant ramen. Sasuke stared at us like we were nuts.
"Why did you bring ramen with you? And how do you expect to cook it?" he asked.
"Well the three of us happen to like ramen. And you can start a fire for us no problem." I said matter of factly. Sasuke stood speechless for a moment before shaking his head.
"Hn, whatever dobes." he said as he proceeded to make the hand signs needed for the fire jutsu.
"Fireball jutsu!" he said as a small ball of flame came out and lit the pile of wood.
"Thank you Sasuke-kun." Saara and I said with a smile. Sasuke shook his head once more before getting his own meal out of his pack. Naruto quickly filled the kettle and set it on the fire. After ten minutes the water was hot and Naruto carefully poured it into our ramen cups.
"Oh man I hate waiting the three minutes it takes to cook these things." he whined.
"Yeah me too. You'd think it would be faster since it is called instant ramen." Saara commented.
"Give it a rest. The three minutes is up now anyway, just eat." Sasuke commanded before going back to his tomato sandwich.
"Ugh, how can you eat those things, Sasuke?" asked Saara.
"What's wrong with it? It's better for you than that stuff you call food." Sasuke retorted.
"Yeah Saara, there's nothing wrong with tomatoes! I happen to love them." I said. Sasuke looked surprised.
"You do? I didn't know that. Would you like a slice for your ramen?" he asked.
"Sure." I said as I got up and moved to sit next to Sasuke. He handed me the slice of tomato as I sat down.
"Thanks." I said.
"No problem." Sasuke replied. Saara and Naruto were whispering to each other while pointing at us and laughing. I elbowed Sasuke to get his attention. I jerked my head towards them indicating that I wanted him to look at them.
"What are you two laughing about?" Sasuke asked. Naruto and Saara stopped laughing to look at us. They blushed a little cause they knew they got caught.
"Come on. Tell us." I said. Saara and Naruto looked at each other before turning back to us.
"We said we thought you two looked like a cute couple over there sharing your tomato." Naruto said smirking.
"Well, what about you two? You could pass as a couple too the way you were whispering and sitting so close together." I huffed. Sasuke didn't say anything at all.
"Sasuke you alright?" Naruto asked. Sasuke looked up at us before smirking.
"Hn, dobes." he said. We all looked at him and burst out laughing. If today was any indication of how the mission was going to be, we were in for the time of our lives. Soon we were finished eating and decided to get some sleep.
"You three get some sleep. I'll take first watch." Sasuke said.
"Alright then. I'll take the next watch then." Saara volunteered.
"Oh no. You and Jessie-chan just got out of the hospital. I'll take the next watch so you can rest." Naruto exclaimed.
"We can stand watch guys. It's not strenuous or anything." I said. Sasuke turned to me.
"I know it's not, but like Naruto said, you need to rest. We can take turns on watch tonight." he said. Naruto stood up.
"Come on, lets go get settled in the tent." he said holding his hand out for Saara to take. Sasuke stood up and pulled me to my feet.
"Go on you two. Get some sleep. We still have a long way to go tomorrow." he said pushing me towards Naruto and Saara. Naruto grabbed my hand and pulled us into the tent before turning to close the flap. We got our sleep packs situated and laid down. Naruto was laying in the middle with me laying on his right and Saara on his left. He pulled us in close so our heads were resting on his shoulders. Within a matter of minutes, we were sound asleep. Naruto turned his head to the left then right before smiling.
"I knew you were tired." he said softly before dropping off to sleep himself. Sasuke walked over a few minutes later to check on us. Quietly opening the tent flap he peered in and smiled at the sight.
"Dobes." he said before shutting the flap once more and going to do another perimeter check.
We awoke the next morning not being able to move. Confused we looked around and noticed arms encircling our waists. Remembering how we fell asleep with Naruto, we were surprised to see not blonde hair, but jet black. We tried to maneuver out from under his arms without waking him. As soon as we moved, onyx eyes flew open and we froze.
"Hn, where do you think you're going?" he asked sleepily.
"Just umm...outside." I said.
"It's morning. We were going to check on Naruto." Saara replied. We tried to pull away from Sasuke again but he tightened his hold on us, pulling us back towards him.
"Sasuke! What are you doing?!" we shrieked. Sasuke chuckled a little until the tent flap was flung open and a pair of bright blue eyes peered in.
"Everything okay in here?" Naruto asked. He took in the sight of Sasuke holding us close to him. Naruto looked questioningly at Sasuke.
"What's going on?" he asked. Sasuke smirked.
"They were cold." he said. Saara and I looked at Sasuke before yelling at him.
"LIAR!!!" we yelled. We started laughing while lightly pounding on Sasuke's chest trying to get out of his iron-like grip. Naruto shook his head and smiled before leaving the tent once again, letting the flap fall back into place. Sasuke finally released his hold on us and we scurried out of the tent. He came out right behind us. Saara and I went over to where Naruto was sitting and sat on either side of him, Sasuke sitting next to me. We ate a quick breakfast of apples and water before tearing down the tent and packing it away. We made sure to erase any signs that we had been there as we had been trained to do. Once we were finished we got ready to continue on our way.
"Let's get going. We still have a day and a half to go before we get to Suna." Sasuke said.
"Hai!" Saara, Naruto and I replied. We took off thankful for the morning sun not being too hot yet, but looking at the sky we could tell it was going to get a lot hotter. We traveled all day and were starting to get tired.
"How much longer till we reach the village?" I asked.
"About half a day, maybe a little less." Naruto replied. Saara and I stopped walking and plopped down onto the ground. Sasuke and Naruto walked a little longer before realizing we weren't with them. They hurried back to where we were.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked in concern.
"We just got a little tired." Saara said.
"Just give us a few minutes to rest, okay?" I asked. Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other.
"We're almost there. What should we do?" Naruto asked him.
"We either let them rest here and take longer to get there, or we carry them the rest of the way." Sasuke answered. Naruto thought for a minute before pulling Sasuke to stand away from us.
"Carry them. We want to get out of Suna as soon as possible for their sakes." he said. Sasuke nodded.
"I agree. They are still recuperating, and who knows what Gaara and Kankuro would say to them." he said. They walked back to where we were sitting. We looked up at them, waiting to see what they decided. We were surprised when they knelt down with their backs to us.
"Get on. We'll carry you the rest of the way." Naruto said.
"You can't carry us that far!" we yelled.
"Hn. It's not much farther, and you need to rest. Remember we only have four months to find them." Sasuke reminded. Saara and I glanced at each other. Rolling our eyes, we leaned forward, wrapping our arms around their necks. They slowly stood up.
"Wrap your legs around our waists. You can hold on better that way." Naruto told us. We quickly did as we were told. Grateful for the rest, we laid our heads down on their shoulders. Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and smiled.
"All set?" Naruto asked.
"Yup." we replied.
"Hn. Lets go." Sasuke said. Naruto and Sasuke carried us the rest of the way towards Suna. We protested at times that we could walk and they could put us down, but they simply ignored us. Soon the gates of Suna came into view. Saara and I grew silent the closer we got. When we were just outside the gates, Naruto and Sasuke put us down.
"Are you going to be alright?" Naruto asked. We nodded.
"Yeah, we'll be...fine." I said.
"Nothing to worry about." Saara said quietly. Sasuke wrapped his arm around my waist while Naruto put his arm around Saara's.
"We will be right with you. No need to worry, okay?" Naruto said.
"Hn, they won't dare try anything." Sasuke assured. We nodded. We took off, closing the final distance to the village. As soon as we entered the gates, a ninja came out to greet us.
"Welcome to Suna. What is your business here?" he asked as soon as he saw our headbands. Sasuke stepped forward.
"We are on a mission from Konoha and are just passing through." he said. The ninja nodded.
"You need to report to Lord Kazekage that you are here. I will have someone escort you." he said.
"Thank you." Sasuke replied. The ninja whistled once and an man from ANBU appeared.
"These ninja are on a mission from Konoha. Please escort them to the Kazekage." the ninja said. The ANBU nodded.
"Follow me." he said turning to us. We followed him through the village to the tower. Once inside the ANBU turned to us again.
"Please wait here." he said before disappearing again. We stayed silent in the corridor until the man appeared once more.
"Come with me." he said. He opened a door and gestured for us to go in. Once we were inside the office, he closed the door behind us and disappeared once more. Sitting at the desk was Gaara with Kankuro standing on his right.
"Saara? Jesshika? What are you doing here?" Kankuro sneered. Sasuke and Naruto stepped closer to us and moved us forward towards the two.
"Lord Kazekage, we are on a mission and as matter of protocol, we were obliged to let you know we were passing through your village." Sasuke said, taking charge. Gaara turned to him and nodded.
"What kind of mission requires you to come here?" he asked.
"I can not reveal the aspects of our mission." Sasuke replied politely. Gaara quirked a non-existent brow but said nothing.
"How long will you remain here?" he asked.
"Just over night. The girls are still quite weak and need to rest." Sasuke replied. Baki came in just as Sasuke answered.
"Weak? What is wrong with them?" he asked looking at us. Naruto spoke up.
"They had just gotten discharged from the hospital when we were assigned this mission." he said.
"Why were they assigned a mission if they had just gotten out of the hospital?" Baki asked in confusion. Just then Temari walked in.
"Hospital? Why were they in the hospital?" she asked in concern.
"They were hospitalized due to severe depression." Naruto growled, his eyes flashing red briefly before going back to blue.
"You felt that guilty about cheating on us?" Kankuro smirked. Before anyone could say anything, Temari walked up to Kankuro and whacked him on the head with her fan.
"Itai! What the hell?" Kankuro yelped. Temari put her hands on her hips and glared at him.
"You know damn well they did nothing wrong! Say it again and I will beat you to death!" she hissed. Kankuro paled and just nodded.
"Alright, alright!" he cried. Temari turned to Gaara.
"And you! You're the Kazekage! Make him behave himself! They are on an official mission." she yelled. Gaara nodded.
"Sorry, Temari." he said simply. Baki looked at him.
"Maybe you and Kankuro should escort them to a hotel so the girls can rest." Baki suggested sternly.
"Very well." Gaara replied.
"We can find one on our own." Naruto protested.
"Nonsense. Gaara and Kankuro can take you to a good hotel so you may rest." Baki said with a smile. Naruto nodded.
"Alright." he agreed. Gaara stood up and came around to stand in front of us, Kankuro right behind him.
"Lets go." Gaara said before turning to leave. Just as we were almost out the door, Temari came up to us.
"Don't listen to them. I believe you. I'll come by later." she said quietly.
"Thanks, Temari." we replied. She nodded as Sasuke and Naruto pulled us out the door. Gaara and Kankuro led us to a small hotel and set us up in two rooms used for important guests of the Kazekage. They escorted us to the rooms, which were across the hall from each other. Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and smirked slightly so the others would not notice.
"Thank you for the rooms." Sasuke said.
"We will be gone by first light." Naruto said.
"No problem." Kankuro replied.
"Let's get some rest then." Sasuke said as he and Naruto opened the doors. Sasuke grabbed my hand as Naruto took Saara's.
"Goodnight." they said as they pulled us into the rooms. Gaara and Kankuro looked at each other confused.
"Why are you taking the girls into separate rooms?" Kankuro asked. Sasuke and Naruto stuck their heads back out the doors.
"None of your business." they said before shutting the doors, ending the conversation. Gaara and Kankuro looked on in anger before storming out of the hotel.
