A/N: CAN I NOT SAY THAT I DON'T OWN NARUTO FOR A WHILE!? WELL, NO. SO I DON'T OWN NARUTO…

Raising a Couple

Chapter 7 – Mama Gaara!

The two Akatsuki members finally started their plan. Deidara peeked at Naruto's bedroom and saw two people sleeping soundly. Thinking they were Naruto and Gaara, he signaled Tobi to follow his tracks. Tobi did as what he said and together, they went inside the room through the window. They became nervous when one person turned around, but it seems that he was still asleep. Then, seeing that it was the boy with the Kyuubi, they were sure of themselves that they have found the right place.

"Tobi, do it NOW." Deidara told him.

Hearing that, Tobi brought out his age-changing ray and pushed the red button. Instead of shooting it on the target, he shot it on the lights. The shot bounced all over the room and shot the two sleeping people. Deidara was about to get the two kids but when he heard footsteps going their location, he ran away along with Tobi.

"You imbecile!" Deidara yelled at him while they were taking off. "Why did you have to make a lot of noise?"

"Because Tobi is a good boy?" Tobi grinned as he scratched his head.

"I'll show you how good you are you little idiot!!" Deidara strangled him as they left.

Meanwhile, Gaara went inside Naruto's room and got surprised with what he saw. The whole room was a disaster! Everything was broken, except the bed. When he tried to wake up Naruto, he was surprised with what he saw.

"N-Naruto?!" Gaara widened his eyes. "W-What happened?"

What he saw was a three year old kid who looks exactly like Naruto. He was pretty sure that he was looking at Naruto, for he has the whisker-like lines on his cheeks. When he woke up Sakura, he saw her… as a three year old kid!

"Not you too, Sakura!" Gaara bent his head down. "What am I supposed to do now?"

The kids Naruto and Sakura just stared at Gaara as if he was their mother. They actually thought that Gaara was their mother! So, they ran towards him and hugged him so tight.

"Mama! Mama!" they squealed.

"Mama?" Gaara mumbled as he spaced away the two kids. "I'm not your mom! I'm Gaara, the Kazekage of the Suna!"

"Whaaa! Mama!" the kids cried so loud that it shattered the glass window.

"Alright! Alright!" Gaara sighed as he covered his ears. "I'm your mom. You happy now?"

"Yay! Mama Gaara!" the kids ran towards him. Gaara carried them and placed them to bed.

"Just take your sleep while I figure out what to do with you." Gaara told them as he left.

"Goodnight, Mama Gaara!" the kids said as they slept.

Gaara glanced at them first, and then he left the room and went back to the sofa. He tried to think of how he could turn his guides back into their real selves. He has to do it ASAP. He has absolutely no idea on how to take care of 3-year-old kids with short-attention spans and mischievous behavior. What else do you expect with the Kazkage, anyway? I mean, he doesn't even have a child yet!

"This was supposed to be a simple negotiation mission." Gaara sighed. "Temari was right. Maybe she should've been here."
