Heya's!
Here is my fourth chapter, HIP HIP HOORAY!
There will be a mini time-skip, I already say so in the story but just encase : )
As you may be able to tell each chapter is getting longer, bit by bit, I'm just slowly working my way up. Sometimes I may not update for a week but I'm also working on two other stories so I don't get bored of any of them, bad habit of mine. I either swap stories by doing a chapter of each; doing all three stories at once, paragraph by paragraph every now and then; or mix of both, meh. I'm confusing myself
While I was stretching about an hour ago I broke my pinky nail :'(
When I say broke I mean past the skin, it was bleeding and hurt like bitch.
Wahh it hurts to type lol, I use my pinky to hold down shift for my capital letters.
Now for my replies to my lovely Reviewers!
Love Psycho – I thought about the Itachi, Anko, Haku pairing, but then I had a whole new idea, which I'm going to keep as a surprise for all the other viewers until when it actually happens. Well you will probably already know though lol. Thanks for helping me toss idea's around : )
BonneNuit – Yeah, I'm not sure how I'm going to get them together but I shall prevail! After all Tobi is a good boy : p Gaara shall be in this chapter, YAY! Gaara X Naruto Baby Fluffy Cuteness! hehe
kk bk – As stated in the third chapter Azami's pairing is with Zabuza. There aren't enough Zabuza stories around in my opinion. More Zabuza Loving Dammit Everyone! : p lol
PyroD – Yeah, puppy eyes are awesome, tis a pity I suck at them : ( Ahh well, not everyone can have the awesome power of the Puppy Eyes 1000.
snowyangel-13 – Glad you like my Naru-chan, hope you enjoy this chapter!
IEatChicken – I'm glad you love my story, I'm trying really hard to make this an original story with an OC who isn't mary-sue-ish. So it pleases me to know that my hard work is paying off :) Yeah Gaara X Naruto is the best, for me Naruto is the Ultimate Uke. I couldn't bare to see him paired with a girl or being a seme. It would just be an absolute waste of his beauty! Hehe...
YaoiFanGirl101 – Yeah it would be hot for Azami and Itachi to be paired together but because Azami is mentally 17 and Zabuza is currently 15 years old she wouldn't feel as old compared to being with Itachi because he is 5 years old. The relationship I have planned out for Azami and Itachi is that of Mother and Son / Sister and Brother. I reckon the reason why Itachi slaughtered the clan really is because he never had his mothers love :-p. lol. I'm glad you think my story is funny, when writing your own stories what you hope is going to be funny isn't really funny to you so it makes you slightly nervous. Wondering, are they going to think its funny? What if they think it's stupid? Silly little questions like that always pop in my head. Yeah, if it wasn't for Love Psycho I doubt I would have been having such an easy time writing this, it helps a lot when you have someone to toss idea's around with. If you like you can talk to me about your own stories, and I could try to help a bit. My email is on my profile, otherwise PM me and I'll tell you :) Thanks!

RECAP
Itachi saw the teacher almost but not quite hold in the blanch and looked to his right before shivering. Azami was smiling that creepy smile again.
On With The Story!
A fortnight had passed since Azami's first day at the Academy and she and Itachi had become good friends.
They trained together every day after class and with Itachi teaching Azami what he knew so far, they were both knowledgeably equals.
Azami's physical endurance however left much to be appreciated.
But that was to be expected and because Naruto was being such a good baby during class and while Azami was training with Itachi she felt as though she could leave him in the care of Iruka for short snippets of the day as she worked on her stamina.
-X-
Iruka was quite pleased to know that Azami trusted him to look after Naruto and took pride in that fact.
Naruto was such a beautiful and well behaved baby.
-X-
All the time in the sun while Itachi and Azami read scrolls upon scrolls under shaded trees near the training grounds had lightly tanned his soft baby skin.
With Naruto's whiskers no longer as prominent Azami didn't have to worry so much about foundation, just dressing Naru-chan up in cute little dresses made the villagers un-suspecting of the babe.
-X-
Life was going good for the citizens of Konoha until word spread like fire that the Yondaime Kazekage was making a trip from hot and sandy Suna to lush and crisp Konoha.
It was said that he was coming with his almost two year old son, the Jinchuuriki of the Ichibi no Tanuki. The One Tailed Demon Raccoon, Shukaku.
The Kazekage was coming to personally see the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, and in good faith decided to bring along his own villagers demon.
It wouldn't do to ruin their frail peace treaty as Konoha currently had a larger score of ninja than Suna after all.
-X-
Of course when Azami found out that Gaara was coming to Konoha, subsequently through Itachi she got that creepy smile on her face again.
Then the Uchiha got the pleasure of watching as Azami did her very special 'Victory Dance'.
Boogie, spastic arms and all.
When questioned as to why she was so happy she promptly stopped dancing, rubbed the back of her head underneath her high pony tailed hair sheepishly and replied "because I could maybe somehow kidnap Gaara and then Naruto can have a" she coughed discreetly "friend to relate to."
-X-
Itachi knew what Azami was talking about, just a few days ago she had explained to him how that, when the Kyuubi was attacking the village the Yondaime took his newborn son out to confront the giant fox.
Resulting in the Yondaime sacrificing his life to imprison the demon inside Naruto.
Also condemning the child to hatred by the villagers.
Itachi, thankfully understood and did not blame Naruto, if anything he was furious at the villagers for their actions towards the innocent baby.
-X-
Azami was heartened by how that confrontation had ended, glad that Itachi comprehended what the citizens of Konoha were too blind to see.
After Azami saw that Itachi was watching her dubiously she declared afternoon training over before picking up the calmly resting Naruto and high tailing it out of there.
It wouldn't be good if Itachi got suspicious about her intentions of somehow getting Gaara to stay with her in Konoha.
He could royally screw it up, then there may be no Gaara and Naruto loving in her life then, then, oh god, she was getting hysterical.
Calming her breaths before she hyperventilated Azami admitted to herself that she was becoming slightly obsessed.
But really, was it her fault that Gaara and Naruto made such a cute chibi and hot teen couple?
No.
It wasn't.
It was those damn authors that got her yearning for hot and smexy Yaoi and damnit she was going into withdrawal.
It had been almost a month.
One Whole MONTH of absolutely NO hot Yaoi fiction.
Azami was getting depressed. She needed to somehow acquire a copy of Icha Icha Yaoi Edition.
Yes, that would all fix her problems.
And probably lower her blood pressure too.
Ahh, good old Yaoi.
-X-
It was the next day and as Azami had promised herself, she obtained a copy of Icha Icha Yaoi Edition.
Actually she had run across Kakashi on her daily morning run around Konoha while Iruka was watching Naruto for her.
She had then pulled the Puppy Eyes 900 (no tears version), conning him into buying her, her needed fix.
When asked why she needed it, Azami completely ignored his question, upping the Puppy Eyes 900 to the Puppy Eyes 1000 (tears version).
Kakashi couldn't resist hugging her almost to death before caving and buying the pornographic novel, Azami cheering silently all the while.
Just so no one suspected that she was reading an R rated book, thus confiscating it, she had ingeniously taken the cover from a challenging children's novel and applied it to her precious porn.
Hiding in plain site was always her favorite motto for a reason she speculated.
Just like with Naru-chan being dressed like a girl.
Though that was for her own amusement.
..And because Naruto just looked so cute in them she giggled.
-X-
After Itachi and Azami had finished at the Academy for the day, with Itachi trying to see what was so interesting about the book she kept bringing out to read.
Blushing and giggling at random intervals ensued while she was reading.
Unfortunately, he sighed failing to once again sneak a peak at the inside of the book, Azami would not let anyone see the contents let alone touch her precious book.
She went all feral, growling demoniacally at the offender who dared interrupt her Yaoi time.
It was quite frightening to witness.
-X-
Azami and Itachi were doing their afternoon work-out while keeping an eye on Naruto as the baby slept peacefully in his cradle. Under the long boughs of a heavily laden tree of green leaves.
Every now and then during strong gusts of wind the branches of the great tree would bend minutely, shaking loose plethoras of leaves to fall gracefully around Naruto.
It was truly a beautiful sight to behold.
So Azami took pictures for her photo album she was currently constructing, it reminded her of a nursery rhyme and she began softly singing it while she and Itachi started on push-ups.
"Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop,
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all."
-X-
Her singing had brought the wandering Gaara, who had arrived with his father only an hour or so ago before being permitted to go about as he pleased.
He was mesmerized by the girls voice, no-one had ever sung to him, and although she wasn't the best of singers, the warmth she exuded through the song had caused his little heart to pitter patter.
Carefully hiding behind a nearby tree in-case they spotted him and she stopped singing Gaara clutched Mr Bear to his chest as he lent against the rough bark.
He relaxed, basking in the love her voice projected.
Even though she wasn't singing to him Gaara pretended that the girl was holding him close, like he was doing to Mr Bear and that she was singing other wonderful songs into his ear as he drifted off to sleep.
Oh how Gaara wished he could experience sleep, when he saw people sleeping they just looked so, peaceful, like they were in a very happy place.
Gaara dearly wanted to go to a happy place.
Even if it was just in sleep.
Something he was sad that he couldn't do, last time he tried the thing inside his head made him do bad things. And Gaara didn't want to be a bad boy.
He just wanted someone to love him after all.
-X-
When Azami finished singing the lullaby she heard a small whimper coming from behind the tree Naruto rested under.
Curious as to who was there, listening to her sing, horribly she thought, she sat up on her heels before crawling quietly towards the mysterious person, as to not scare them away.
When she rounded the large trunk hiding the person Azami was pleasantly surprised to see little Gaara crying silently, clutching to his teddy like a life-line with his eyes shut tightly.
"Little one" she crooned softly, carefully scooping up the surprised boy who tensed in her arms.
Carrying him back to the side where baby Naruto slept, she sat down, resting against the large tree, situating Gaara on her lap as he stopped crying and started wondering.
Am I sleeping? Am I dreaming of a happy place where this girl loves me and holds me gently while singing all those pretty lullaby's that I see mothers sing to their children before they go to sleep?
"What's your name little one? I'm Azami" she whispered to the surprised boy.
It, isn't a dream? I'm not sleeping? She really is holding me lovingly?
"G-Gaawa" the now suddenly shy boy stuttered. It was cute Azami thought, how Gaara kept changing emotions so quickly.
It really wasn't a wonder, she knew that no-one had ever been as nice to the little one as she was currently being.
"Why were you crying Gaara-chan?" Azami questioned as she slowly began to rock the kawaii panda looking chibi back and forth soothingly.
"You stopped singing" Gaara said, clearly advanced for his age, probably because he had nothing to do but listen to everyone else talk while ignoring him completely Azami knew.
His lisp on the t was adorable though, as the st became th.
Resting her head on top Gaara's, she was only just able to being almost 3 years older then the little one but still slightly short for her age.
She began softly singing her favorite lullaby.
One she would beg her mother to sing to her every night when she was young. She also sang it to Naruto sometimes when he was fussing quite terribly.
"Close your eyes go to sleep,
Mr Sandman is waiting,
Just to guide you on your way,
With his basket full of dreams,
And the moon up on high,
Shines his light on your pillow,
And the stars in the sky,
Start to sparkle for you."
With the rocking and her lullaby combined they succeeded unintentionally to put little Gaara to sleep.
At first scared for everyone's safety she relaxed when nothing happened. Azami was proud of what she had accomplished, it's not, after all, any day that one can put Gaara to sleep without awakening Shukaku.
What Azami didn't know was that she had unintentionally calmed the Raccoon down and the volatile demon had actually, as incredulous as it was to think, slept as well.
-X-
During this miracle Itachi had watched as who he was beginning to think of as his best friend comforted a baby child.
It was quite a stunning picture of a beautiful almost 5 year old girl singing a little boy into the sandman's embrace while a baby slept innocently in the little cradle beside them.
Itachi was glad that Azami was his friend and not one of those scary fangirls. Although she had her own scary moments, mainly when she did what he dubbed 'The Creepy Smile' she was a true friend.
It was times like these though that he wished he was a baby, being held in her comforting embrace as she sang to him.
He wished that she was his sister or his mother just so she would coddle him, bathing him in her love.
Showering him in the affection she seemed to have an abundance of.
Itachi didn't dare express his desires though. As much as he wanted to, he was scared that she would laugh at him and stop being his friend.
It was a silly insecurity he had, but never had his mother or father been the affectionate type.
No stories before bed or kisses goodnight; no lullabies to send him to sleep; nor hugs and words of encouragement or proud expressions when he achieved something. Those wondrous gifts he dreamed of were never bestowed upon him.
But watching her comfort the small child made him feel calm, allowed him to relax and though meager jealousy consumed him of those she mothered he felt that maybe, one day, she would sing soothingly in his ear washing away his fears while rocking him to sleep too.
-X-
Two hours later Gaara woke up as a happy little boy and found that he was still in the girl's, Azami's, warm embrace.
He had gone to a happy place in his dreams, a place where the children in Suna played with him and big sister Temari and big brother Kankurou loved him and spent time with him.
Gaara was especially happy though to wake up from his happy place and find that he was in an even better happy place, in the real world.
Being held by Azami he questioned unsurely, "wash I a bad boy?" Confused by what Gaara meant she asked why he thought he had been a bad boy.
"'Cause last dime I went da sweep I woked up and dere was a man who had wed paint aww ova him, Unca Yash-mawu said dat I'd been a bad boy. Da voice in mah head maked me do bad dings when I'm ashweep." Even though the answer was sad Azami had to hold in a squeal at how cute Gaara's baby speech was.
"Shh it's okay Gaara-chan, you were a very good boy. If you want to sleep come to me okay? I'll make sure that you don't do bad things."
Gaara was very happy with this idea. Looking around he spotted a basket of sorts. "Wot's dat?"
Seeing what Gaara meant Azami dragged the cradle over to them. It was time to feed Naruto anyway. "This is Naru-chan" she said watching as Gaara peered curiously into the cradle.
"Pwetty baby" he said, shakily stretching out a hand to stroke Naruto's face, he was scared that the baby would wake-up and cry at him. It was after all the first time he'd been allowed to see a baby close up, let alone touch one.
Azami meanwhile was going into fits of fangirlism, cooing at the adorable scene of a nervous Gaara petting an innocent Naruto's cheek. She whipped out her camera before taking numerous pictures.
"This is definitely going into my photo album" she muttered before snapping a shot of Gaara leaning in to kiss Naruto's forehead.
Putting the camera down Azami gathered Naruto's bottle and formula before asking "Do you want to see what I can do Gaara-chan? It's a secret so you can't tell anyone."
Itachi had left a little while after Gaara had fallen asleep, otherwise she wouldn't dare show her powers in front of him.
It's not that she didn't trust him, she just wanted to wait awhile until after they were closer in case he told someone.
Not that she thought he would but its always better to be safe then sorry she thought.
"Yesh" Gaara said "pwomise not to teww."
Smiling at the child she opened the baby bottle and conjured water to fill it. Just to show off she made little water fishes jump in and out of small stream that was filling the bottle.
Gaara was fascinated.
He hadn't ever seen that before, he'd seen people do that with water from a stream or lake but never had he seen water come out of thin air!
Clapping excitedly Gaara said "I cawn't maked sand but I can mayke it do wot's I wants it to."
Acting like she didn't know, because really, she had only just met him so she 'shouldn't' know she pretended to be awed.
"Wow Gaara-chan! Your a very special boy aren't you? No-one else can make sand do what they want you know. Only you."
That made Gaara feel very special and he blushed happily.
Smiling at the kawaii panda chibi Azami measured the needed formula before adding it to bottle, capping it and after squeezing the teat shut gave it a few good shakes to mix the two ingredients.
"Wot's you mayking?" Gaara asked
"Milk for Naru-chan, it's time for baby to eat."
"Can I hewp?"
Making sure that Gaara was still situated comfortably in her lap, Azami reached into the cradle, pulling out Naruto. Placing Naruto on Gaara's lap she said "Of course you can, put Naru-chan's head on your elbow and wrap the rest of that arm around him."
Azami helped Gaara hold onto Naruto while her other hand heated up the milk bottle.
As Gaara watched, little Naruto woke up blinking his pretty blue eyes, which subsequently became Gaara's favorite color then.
Tracing the faint marks on Naruto's face, Gaara was happy when Naruto gave a small smile. Gaara decided that he very much liked little Naru-chan and didn't want to go back home ever again.
Testing the milk on the back of her hand before deeming it just right Azami placed Gaara's hand around the bottle before helping him hold it.
Gaara was excited as Azami showed him how to feed Naru-chan, watching as the baby suckled away happily while looking into Gaara's teal eyes.
Using her powers over water, because she didn't want to burn anything and she hadn't any hands free. Azami made the liquid pick up the camera she had left to the right of her before taking lots of pictures.
Her photo album was going to be very full she thought happily.
Tada! Chapter 4 Complete!
Sore pinky and all.
With pairings I hope I don't upset anyone but I've decided that although Itachi is going to have a crush on Anko, they aren't going to get together.
Instead it's going to be:
Anko X TenTen
and
Itachi X Haku
I just see TenTen turning into a mini Anko, being all sadistic and the like.
This story WAS a Romance / Humor but well it's only been slightly funny, so I'm thinking about changing it to Romance / Family. Because it is getting pretty family orientated, don't you think?
Opinions anyone?
Hope you all still enjoy my story! Chapter 5 should be out soon.
Ja ne minna-san :)
