Kura: No, shit...you're a fucking senior. Of course it's going to be stressful.
Tsukaia: No one asked you. Anyway...I'm working on a one shot to explain how Naruto, Kakashi, and Sasuke happened. And I'm working on the explaination for everything so just a little longer, everything's going to come together.
Shadow: You really don't owe them an explanation. it's your story so you tell it how you want to.
Tsukaia: I know...but i want to give on.

Tsukaia: Whatever...please read and review.
Chapter 4
Kura appeared in the city of gods with Sakura and Sai. He was allowed there because after Sakura's birth he had a change of heart. Sakura's birth was his down fall because out of all his human reincarnations she was the only one to make him start caring about what happened to anyone and everyone.
"Kura, please don't scare them." Sakura whispered and Kura sighed burying his face in her hair breathing in her scent.
"I don't want him that close to you." He said walking through the city of white with them. "He likes you as more than a friend and I'm not giving you away yet." Sakura sighed softly and looked at Sai. He looked exhausted and wanted to be in a bed.
"Did you two have fun?" Sakura asked and Sai nodded while Kura chuckled. "How's your ass?" She asked Sai and he blushed. She giggled and blinked as there was a bright flash in front of them.
"Kura, how are you?" Someone asked after the bright flash. In front of them stood a man with long white hair, crystal blue eyes, and a soft smile on his full lips. "My love, how are you?" He asked taking Sakura and kissing her fully on the lips.
"I'm fine, lord Kami." Kura said and Sai giggled at his lover's sudden change in mood. Kami was the only one allowed to kiss Sakura on the mouth.
"I'm fine…how are you Kami?" Sakura asked and the man smiled.
"I'm great, I've been looking into your future all day and I would like it if up would hurry up and kill the girl." He said and she sighed.
"Soon, I promise." She said and he nodded hugging her. "Now, what do we have to speak about?" Kami fidgeted slightly and Sakura took note of it.
"Well you see, Kura and I made this deal the day you were born." He said and she raised an eyebrow. "You are immortal now." She blinked and pushed away from Kami roughly. She glared at the two males and they shrunk under the harsh glare. Kura whimpered in Sai's neck and nearly cried out when his mate stepped away from him over to Sakura.
"Call it off now." Sakura demanded and they flinched. "I'm not going to sit here and watch them die and I live forever. It's not happening." She said stubbornly and Sai calmly looked at his mate. It took Kura a minute to realize that his mate was human and was going to die eventually leaving him alone again.
Kura turned to Kami and started speaking in another language frantically. Kami blinked and looked at Sakura and Sai then back at Kura nodding. Kura couldn't lose both Sakura and Sai, it would kill him mentally and emotionally; effectively reverting him back to his old self. And Kami didn't want a careless and reckless Kura again ever.
"I can't go back on a deal so here's the new deal." Kami said and Sakura waited patiently for him to continue. "I'll make those that are close to you immortal. No, I can't do that, okay when you move into the mountain home; those that are with you become immortal."
"What about Gaara?" She asked and Kami smiled hugely and Kura chuckled.
"Gaara's already immortal. His father is actually in the city right now." Kami said and Kura pulled Sai back in to his arms and held him there. Kami reached out hesitantly for Sakura and she threw herself in his arms.
"I'm fine with this deal." She said and Kami sighed happily. "Now, who's Gaara's father?"
"Please don't mention my son's name." A voice said and a soft flash of blood red happened in front of them. Sakura blinked at the handsome man. He had long hair the same color as Gaara's, sea foam green eyes that had such sadness and longing in them that Sakura felt her heart lurch in her chest. "It's a pleasure to meet the lovely lady of the city." He said bowing slightly and Sakura would have blushed if his voice wasn't sad. "I'm Jashin, god of death, sacrifice and blood."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Jashin and please call me Sakura." She said and he nodded. "Kura, go let Sai rest." Kura nodded and disappeared with his sleepy mate. "Kami, go play with someone's future." He pouted but did as he was told. Sakura stood there and looked at Jashin.
"Do you need anything?" He asked and she shook her head and continued to stare at him. "Anything you would like to know?" He asked and she nodded.
"What exactly did you sacrifice for Gaara?" She asked and he sighed. He knew the question was coming up and so were two more after he answered this one.
"You can say I sacrificed my very existence." He said sighing and sitting down on the ground. Sakura sat too and waited for him to continue. "Gaara's my only child and I do just about everything for him. His mother left, when she was still pregnant with him, for the Kazekage. I was upset but I suppose I deserved it. She always said I never loved her because I was always busy with keeping the death toll in check. I almost exposed myself when they put Shukaku inside her and into my unborn child." He explained and Sakura knew it was against the rules of gods to expose your powers in the mortal world. "I was angry that she let it happen. She let them put the demon in her saying that the child itself was already a demon's spawn and if it died she didn't care.
"If it wasn't for Shukaku, Gaara would be dead. I convinced Shukaku not to kill my child but in exchange I wasn't allowed near the child. I've almost died four times from the pain of not being able to go near him. Kami has had to pull me from my dark places so many times that even he has lost count. My very existence is still on the line."
Sakura got up and sat in his lap and he hugged her breathing in her scent. He sighed as he smelled his son on her too and it was easing the pain in his chest.
"How much blood have you spilled for him?" She asked softly and he sighed.
"So much that it isn't even imaginable." He said and she looked up at him. "So much that I'm afraid he would hate me for it. So many people have hurt him and got away with it."
Sakura rubbed her thumb under his eyes and wiped away his tears. She knew that he need someone to talk to and they would actually listen to him.
"How many people have you killed for him?" She asked softly and he sobbed this time. He didn't even want to talk about that; it was so many that there was no way to keep count. Sakura rubbed his back softly as he hugged her tighter.
"It's so many that I didn't even try to keep count." He said between sobs. "I feel like I let him down some kind of way. I failed to be there for him."
"You didn't fail." Someone said behind them and Jashin jumped slightly at the sound of his son's voice. He slowly pulled away from Sakura and looked behind them.
Gaara stood there looking at them with interest. Sakura watched as the sadness turned to pure delight and the longing disappeared completely from Jashin's eyes. She giggled softly and got out of his lap and allowed him to pull Gaara into it.
Jashin buried his face in Gaara's neck and breathed in his scent as he hugged him tightly. Gaara sighed contently as Sakura walked off to explore her city. Jashin licked the length of Gaara's neck and pulled away to look at his son.
"You know I have to mark you." He said and Gaara raised an eyebrow. "Each god is required to mark their child or children." He said and Gaara blinked.
"What kind of mark are you leaving?" He asked and Jashin smiled leaning down and nudging Gaara's head to the side with his nose. Gaara tilted his head to the side giving his father perfect view of his tan neck. Jashin licked it again then bit right where his neck connected with his shoulder.
Gaara shuddered and relaxed into his father. Blood flowed from the wound into Jashin's mouth and down Gaara's shoulder. Once Jashin was satisfied he licked the wound and it started closing. It left Jashin teeth mark as a scar.
"There now you are permanently mine." Jashin said and Gaara sighed laying his head in his father's neck falling to sleep instantly. Jashin chuckled and disappeared with his son.
Sakura hummed softly as she looked around the large city in her underwear. It was a lovely place built with white marble and some places in black marble. It was beautiful in her opinion.
She came across a large white palace and blinked. This had to be where Kami lived, he was the only one that would go out the way and build something that big.
"Lovely isn't it?" Someone asked and Sakura jumped slightly. The sudden voice startled her. "Forgive me milady."
"It's quite alright." Sakura said looking at the beautiful man next to her. He had platinum blonde hair, green eyes and he was tall almost seven feet. He was dressed in a simple pair of cream pants. "I'm Sakura and you are?"
"Ai…" He said and she smiled at him. His name meant love and it was cute for him. "Well, I should get going. It was a pleasure meeting the lady of the city." He bowed slightly and Sakura smiled though it didn't reach her eyes.
"It was a pleasure meeting you too, Ai." She said and waved as he walked away. It really was nice meeting him but his eyes held such longing in it when he looked at the palace that she was forced to smile. She was going to have a long talk with Kami.
She walked up the stair and opened the door. They closed behind her and she walked through the castle. Kami's scent was everywhere and so was Ai's.
"Kami…" She called and he appeared in front of her. "You hurt him didn't you?" She asked and he looked confused at her.
"Hurt who?" He asked and she looked at him blankly.
"Ai…" She said and he flinched at the name. "What did you do?" She demanded and he sighed.
"I didn't do anything. He called it off when he fell in love with someone else." Kami said and Sakura raised an eyebrow. "Ai is the god of love. He falls in and out of love all the time, only staying with someone until someone else comes along." Kami explained and Sakura thought long and hard as Kami pulled her into his arms. "Sakura, I miss him so much." He whispered and she smiled. She could bet her life that Ai missed Kami as much as he missed Ai.
"I'll be back." She said and slipped out of his arms and out the front doors of the palace. Sakura walked through the streets and followed Ai's scent to a park. She walked up to him and smiled brightly. "I have a surprise for you." She said and he blinked and tears fell from his eyes.
"I want my Kami back." He said and she smiled taking his hand. She pulled him through the city's streets until she came to Kami's palace. She opened the doors and walked in with Ai.
Kami stood there in shock as Sakura walked up to him with Ai. He hadn't seen Ai in almost two years and the blonde man still had the same affect on him. His heart beat faster, his breath quickened and he blushed.
"Now, Ai, I know you missed Kami as much as he missed you." Sakura said and they both blinked. "You love him more than anyone else that you ever meet and hate that you fell for someone else. If you hurt him again, I will put you in a place that you will hate." Sakura said and Ai nodded. She reached her hand out for Kami and he took it. Now Ai and Kami stood in front of each other.
Kami was shorter than Ai by a head and he had to look up at him just to make eye contact. Sakura smiled as Ai captured Kami's lips against his; passionately kissing him. Kami wrapped his arms around Ai's neck and Ai wrapped his arms around Kami's waist lifting him off the ground. Kami wrapped his legs around Ai's waist and ran his fingers through Ai's long hair.
Sakura giggled softly as she left the palace giving them their much needed privacy. She walked the city humming and looking at things. Kura appeared next to her and she smiled.
"Are you ready to go?" He asked and she nodded. "Did you enjoy your time in the gods' city?" She nodded and hugged him.
"Did you know Kami hasn't been with anyone in two years?" She asked and he nodded.
"He still caught up on Ai." He said and she giggled. "What did you do?"
"Nothing special but made him happy; I did threaten Ai." She said and Kura chuckled making them appear in Sakura's room at home. She blinked noticing that there were two other guys on her bed.
"Art and Beauty; you recognized that while in the city." Kura said and she blinked looking at the blonde and red head. Deidara was holding Sasori close to his body and looking at her with bright eyes.
"Um…" She said and stepped away from Kura. She looked around the room and notice the kitten were sleep in her bed. Madara was sitting in a chair pouting and looking at her. "Kura, whose night is it tonight?" She asked and blinked and two unfamiliar colors appeared on her.
"You've became Jashin's lover." He said and she raised an eyebrow. "And Ai's also, I can't leave you there for less than an hour without you making new lovers."
"How many is it now?" She asked going along with his little game. "Ten, twenty, or more?" She asked and he chuckled as a chakra overwhelmed the room, suffocating all the people in the room except Sakura, Kura and the person it was coming from.
"I have to say at the most twenty." Kura said casually like nothing happened. "It could be more. You've done a lot of traveling."
"True, so true, maybe we could bring a few over to meet my boys." She said hopefully and Kura nodded. "We should do that tomorrow. Don't you think that would be a great idea, Tobi?" She asked turning to him and he just looked at her blankly.
"I don't care really." He said bluntly and the chakra disappeared and the aura in the room became scary calm. Sakura giggled and walked over to Madara straddled his hips. Kura twitched slightly, she had taken it too far now.
'I don't have any lovers. Kura would kill anyone that even touched me in the wrong way. There are only a few exceptions and you are not in those few.' She said in his mind and he pulled her closer into his body just to piss Kura off. 'He's lord of the demons. You don't want him angry.' Madara smirked and licked the length of Sakura's neck watching as Kura growled and stepped menacing over to them. 'Watch this…' She said and Kura paused sniffing the air then disappearing. Sakura giggled in Madara ear and slipped out of his arms and walked over to her dresser.
"Kura can't resist the smell or cries of his mate. It makes him forget about everything else except for me. He won't even remember he's angry at you." She said pulling her hair in a messy ponytail and climbing into bed. "Goodnight." She said falling asleep instantly.
"She has lovers?" Deidara asked and Madara shook his head. "Then what was that?"
"Them trying and succeeding in pissing me off, then Sakura taking Kura's game to far for his liking." Madara said and Sasori chuckled softly snuggling into his lover's chest.
"You're in for a long ride." Sasori said sleepy and Deidara lay down with Sasori between him and Sakura. "Maybe, he will let you have her." He said softly before drifting off to sleep. Deidara chuckled and fell asleep with his lover.
