I don't own Naruto.
"Well, this isn't really doing anything" I noted, we had been sitting on the beach for about an hour, staring at the horizon.
"Hn" was his intelligent reply, what does that mean any way? I sighed, it must be a guy thing.
He was standing very still in the fading sun light, almost like a statue. If I hadn't heard his very faint breathing, I would have said he was a wax doll.
For some strange reason I wanted to touch his face, it looked so smooth and worry free, one would think he wasn't the notorious kazekage of sand. I started to lean closer and was about to reach my hand out when he turned to look at me. I was momentary stuck by the contrast of his blood red hair and green eyes.
Thankfully that snapped me out of what ever daze I had been in. I figure that I was just tired from running away and stressed at this whole situation. 'they are so going to get it when I get back. First I'll burn all of Kakashi-sensei precious icha-icha books. Then I'll go after Tsunade sake and, dare I think it, her anti-aging cream. Next will be Naruto, I'll get his secret ramen and candy stash. What should I do to Ino, something evil, very evil but what?' I thought for a moment. 'I know, I use my new jutsu and make her mute for a whole month' I thought gleefully planning my revenge.
While I was spacing out, Gaara was staring at me, he had already gotten up and was waiting for me.
'what's wrong with her?' he thought 'great, stuck on alone on a island with a crazy person, I want to go explore the island but I think it would be bad if I left her alone, the last thing I need is Tsunade prized student getting hurt or killed, that would seriously damaged the relationship between our villages' he thought glumly.
"Miss Haruno" he called loudly sounding slightly annoyed, catching my attention.
"What" I said yawning and stretching, I was really tired.
"I suggest we search the island for adequate sleeping areas" he said emotionlessly.
I blinked at him, did he really expect me to understand this when I was clearly a mess. My cloths were wrinkled, I had a peanut shaped bruise on my head, my body ached from being stuck in a car and a boat. Then put in a very uncomfortable cage and throw on a empty island and to top it off my charka flow felt weird.
" Sure" was my simple reply. I stretched my legs to (hopefully) lessen the pain of them cramping. He started to walk away without waiting for me, 'jerk' I thought, but I followed him any way.
"I suggest we follow the big red signs, but I don't understand them" he said frowning.
"It says the house is this way and that's Naruto hand writing ( Tsunade once joked that Naruto should write the top secret scrolls that go to the other villages, if the enemy did get it, they wouldn't be able to decipher it.)
He just nodded and started to walk in the direction the arrows pointed to.
"So, how did you get tricked?" I asked curiously along side him, I couldn't figure out how or who would dare, do this to a kazekage.
He stopped momentarily and turned around to glare me. He didn't reply but he did speed up….great just what I need for my sore muscles. 'Mmmmmm, do I see a case of hurt ego' I thought as I matched my pace with his.
We walked in silence for about ten minutes before we spotted a house with its lights on. I eyed it warily, I really didn't trust anything that they had set up.
I walked cautiously towards in but stopped a few feet away, I liked it immediately. The house had two stories with a balcony, painted dark blue with black accents. It had a multi-colored pebble walk way all the front where it merged with stone steps. My favorite part was that it had a large wrought iron fence encircling it all. It had a really cool gothic feel , I was in really in love with the house already.
I walked up to the metal fence and opened it. It made only a small creak but it opened pretty easy. I slowly stepped on the walk way and made my way up to the porch. 'this is all so beautiful' I thought.
I heard faint foot steps behind me and realized that he was done studying it. I warily put my hand on the door handle and opened it slowly. I had expected the worse but I was really surprised. I walked in with my month open, it was almost like my dream house.
The door way lead to a large open area. On the left was a kitchen with a very modern look. It had beautiful red wood cabinets with colored glass panes and a hard wood floor. There was a large granite counter top where the kitchen ended with high seated chairs on one side. I guessed on one side it served as a cooking space and on the other side a table.
I turned my head to face the living room, the first thing I notice was the shape of the it was different from the kitchen. Where the kitchen was rectangular, the living room was shaped like an oval with a thick red carpet. A giant flat screen TV was in on the very middle of the wall. On both sides of it there where selves built in to match the circle shape. And in my opinion, the best part was the huge black couch that looked so comfortable, I just wanted to lay on it. But the chances where I wouldn't be getting if I sat on it
I stepped over to check what type of DVD they left us with. Not bad selection, I went and looked at the other shelve and rolled my eyes. They were all horror movies with zombie or psycho killers……joy.
I heard a noise behind me and jump slightly and turned around. I sighed, I really needed to sleep, it was just Gaara looking in the fridge.
I thought for a moment, where were the bedrooms. I started to walk towards the back of the house where I hadn't been when I froze. What if there was only one room, what would I do. I mean that would be very weird and awkward….well maybe I wouldn't mind it that much.
My eye started to twitch, I did not just think that. I decided that it was stress and sleep deprivation causing me to think like that.
"Are you ok?" a voice said behind me, I jump and reflexively swung my hand to hit the person. But instead of coming in contact with some ones head, my hand was graded and twisted behind my back.
"What the hell are you doing" Gaara hissed in my ear. I started to blush because I was so close to him, but then mentally shook my self, what the hell was I thinking. I tried to turn and face him to apologize but I still couldn't move. I waited for him to let go but after a minute I realize he wasn't going to. I guess I was just going to have to try say sorry and hope he let go (well if he didn't I could fight him, but fighting him didn't sound that smart besides I was going to be stuck with him for who knows how long).
"I'm sorry Gaara, you snuck up on me" I said clearly but harshly, this was not the most comfortable position.
"Hn" was all he said as he let go and stepped back. I turned around and glared at him, he returned it…..'this was going to be sooooo much fun' I thought in my head.
I turned my head back and walked down the hallway. I saw a spiraling stair way and a door. I opened the door and found a very pretty bathroom. I really like the tile pattern, I would have checked it out more but I was on a mission. I closed the door and turned around to go up the stairs. Correction I tried to go to the stair way but I walked right in to something Gaara sized. I blushed heavily and back away from his chest, I turned my head to hid the blush and took a couple of deep breaths.
He just stared at my head and whirled around to face him.
"Will you please watch where your going" I said icily, narrowing my eyes dangerously. He didn't reply but he glared right back at me. I mentally cursed every one who put me on this island and with this…..I couldn't even think of a word to describe him.
I continued to glare at him for a few more seconds before I stepped around him. I studied the stairs, it was made of the same material of the iron fence. I figured it was safe and I started to climb up quickly. When I got to the top I looked back down, it didn't go very high. Once I stepped off the stairs I heard Gaara coming up, great it seemed he hated me.
I looked around, there was a another couch with a small book case next to it. I looked farther down the room and saw three doors, I sighed in relieve. I look in the door on the right and found another bathroom. I figured the rooms on the left were all the same.
I opened the door and gasped, it was awesome. It was red with a pattern of two black lines, the bed was metal with a black canopy. I looked in the corner, an very expense looking stereo was there. I wander over to the dark colored dresser and opened the drawers. Strange they had cloths in them, I picked one up and inspected it. I was still trying to figure what it was when Gaara walked in.
"Why are you holding my underwear" he asked, I yelp and flung them towards him. He calmly caught them and continued to stare at me, clearly wanting an explanation.
" Well…………." my mind was coming up blank, where was inner Sakura when I needed her.
"You not a fan girl are you" he asked, suddenly very serious.
"Hell no" I shouted…..well maybe a little bit inside. I shook my head, what the was wrong with me today, this was not normal.
He continued to stare at me while I stared back. I sighed I was sure this could go on all day….or was it night, I didn't know.
"I thought this was my room" I said finally.
"Really, I didn't think you like this style….after visiting the land of all-that-is-frilly-pink-and-girly. I stared at him, was he on drugs, that would explain why he was so freakin calm.
"What do you mean" I asked puzzled.
"While you where in here going through my cloths, I made the mistake of going in your room" he said.
"Why would you get a cool room and I get a scary one" I asked confused yet again.
"Because obviously my siblings designed my room and some one you know did yours" he finished staring at me like an idiot.
"Oh no" I whispered paling, dear god, tell that Ino didn't do my room. I rushed out of his room and yanked my door open. I was staring right into a nightmare. I sweat dropped and sighed, Gaara wasn't kidding.
I sighed, the room was painted pink with hot pink flowers. The bed was pink and white pinstriped. All in all, it look horrible and I was pretty damn sure I would go crazy staring at pink walls. I sighed and rubbed my eye nothing was going right. I could already see all the things that could go wrong. I sighed again this really sucked.
I reached to turn it on when I found a card with my name on it.
Dear Sakura,
HAPPY VACATION, the house is pretty sweet huh. We spent a lot of time making it perfect for you guys. now down to why I wrote this. When we started Ino was the first to finish making your room. She told me not to peek because "its too pretty for a blond porcupine". I admit I probably would have tried to kill her if Kankuro hadn't stepped in. This must make no since and I must sound crazy but this has a point, I swear. Well after she left I looked in. I almost puked, I was pretty sure this wasn't your style, so I did over and put a illusion jutsu on it. Hope you like it
Have fun!!,
Temari
P.S I know you can't use chakra, but I'm sure Gaara can break it no problem.
I smiled, I would have to thank Temari once I got back. I stood up and gathered my chakra (it still felt strange, but at least I had it) and did the hand signs, it fell apart like shattered glass.
I like this a lot better than what Ino had done, sure she was my friend but she usually did what she wanted regardless of what you wanted. I looked around smiling largely, the walls were a dark purple with a black flowers wrapping around the length of the room. The bed was a lot softer then the stiff white and pink comforter it had been. I was sitting on almost silk like material that was colored blue and purple.
I really want to go to bed but I really needed a shower. So I willed my self to stand up and walk to the dresser. Lucky there were cloths in there, so I got a giant comfortable looking set of pajamas, a bra, and a pair of undies.
I walked to the bathroom and locked the door and began to take a nice long shower. After that I found a tooth brush and a hair bush in the cabinet below the sink. I brushed my hair and started to brush my teeth when some one knocked.
" I'll be done in a few minutes" I said loudly.
"I need to go the bathroom" was the reply.
"Well there a bathroom down stairs" I said angry, this was me time, why did guys never understand this?
"I don't want to go all the way down stairs" Gaara said, sounding anger.
" Too bad" I said, deciding to take my sweet time.
"…..Get out…" was the still anger reply.
"Know that you put it that way….no" I replied. I heard a strange sound, sand was slipping under the door and forming a hand to unlock the door. I slapped the sand away and graded a towel and stuffed it under the door. The sand was motionless as I continue to brush my teeth. But a minute later I heard the lock pop, 'damn he waited till my attention wasn't on the sand…..sly'.
Gaara opened the door and glared at me, it was pretty scary but I'd seen worse ( try Tsunade on a hang over and taking her sake away…..that was scary).
I put my hands on my hips and glared right back.
"What if wasn't dressed and you did that" I said, clearing pissed.
" That would have been very unfortunate" he said arms crossed.
I sighed and gathered up my things and walked to my room. I dump the cloths in a hamper and climb in bed. Maybe this wouldn't be such a bad vacation. This could be fun, maybe I was wrong when I thought was going to be hellish. My door creaked open and Gaara's voice filled my room.
"Sakura, I thought I should I tell you, that underwear you flung at me wasn't clean" he said, if I could see in the dark, I was pretty damn sure I would see a smirk. But I didn't that much thought as I jumped up and ran to the bathroom to wash my hand with scalding water and mutter curses.
Who am I kidding, I thought, this is going to be hell, I sighed and let sleep lull me into a deep sleep. Maybe things would make a lot more since in the morning...or not.
Dear random people,
Sorry this took awhile, school started and I didn't have alot of free time, well hope you like it, XD. I stayed up late to finish it and publish. Please review, it makes me write quicker.
Tiredly( is this a word?),
