A/N: Okay, i've upgraded my software so i'm still getting used to it. Excuse any spelling mistakes and whatever...So what's Kankie up to? And why Is Temari all cool with Gaara and Sakura? What will the village think? What's near the end...Probably all in this chappie!
Gaara shifted his weight a little so his hand dangled dangerously off the edge of the futon. The sheets were somewhere over in the corner and the clothes...who knows where they got to! He sighed, never wanting to leave. He paused for a moment, enjoying the rythmic thumping of her heart beat, slow and steady...he listened for his own, most of the time there was no beat at all. His heart had never been loved...untill now. He was surprised to find a faint but steady beat of his own...he smirked, love can do funny things to you... Sakura slid a hand down his smooth, cold stomach and yawned. She turned over to stare up at him, all the while sliding her hand lower. He groaned, how can she still be horny after last night?!?!?! Even as a powerfull demon, he was beyond tired now. God after last night that demon will be sated for at least a year! She purred and lifted her hand back up to toy with his shaggy red hair. She watched him and decided he was too tired for anymore play...what a shame...he demon wanted more...a whole lot more...
"You know we have to go back to the village sometime...you can't keep me locked up here forever as much as you would like too...", he grinned at her. She beamed back at him. He knew she wasn't full sated, but that would have to wait.
"I know, Gaara kun. How long do we have before they start to miss you?", she asked with massive green eyes glinting cheekily. He loved that look, he let out a surprised expression as the familiar tightness in his groin returned. His demon over in the corner was up and circling again. Did those two ever rest?????? She ran her hands down his back and sent chills sparking throughout his body. He growled,
"Maybe we could stay a little longer...", he said as he pulled her down onto the soft bed again. She smiled again and covered his lips with hers...
Kankurou was almost there...a few miles away at the moment. Was it really Sakura? What was Gaara doing? The people of the village were afraid that their dear Kazekage would never return. He had to find Gaara fast! He remembered Temari showing Gaara and himself the secret dune, Yashamaru's dune as Temari called it. The older siblings weren't as fond of him as Gaara was, while Gaara was sucking on a bottle, they were out practicing with their fan and puppets, training to be Sauna's greatest defence...while their father was secretly plotting Gaara's assasination...Kankurou sighed and trudged on. He'd seriously considered using one of the puppets to carry him, but the sand...was it really worth the risk? And what if Gaara smashed them in defence? He'd probably be really protective of his mate, if she was really a demon... Temari would be wondering where he'd gone, she'd said to stay at the village and let Gaara sort himslef out...techincally that was an order since she was older..but that really didn't matter at the moment. He had to find Gaara soon...they'd recived intelegence that not only Tobi and Zetsu were after Gaara now but also Hidan...the demon worshipper, the queero in the weirdo suit...the monster... In Kankurou's books, Hidan was not only worse than Gaara but also a very powerful enemy. He was immortal...the only thing Kankurou wanted more than anything, puppets form or not...immortality was to die for...
Temari yawned and streached in the morning sunlight. Where was Kankurou? He was ment to mave woken her up at least and hour ago. She walked over to the doors, banging them as she threw them open with innhuman strength. The guards stared at her and backed away...She strode out into the hallway and exited through the doors on the oppsite side. The smells of freshly baked bead and meat welcomed her. Rule in the Kazekage's quarterhouse...be early or starve! She tucked in to the scraps as the off-duty guards watched in terror. No one got between Temari and her food this early in the morning...They lowly backed away through the doors mumbling softly. She shoveled pile after pile of bacon, eggs ( hawk of course...) and cereal into her mouth. She sat back happily after three minutes, sated and content...the maids cleaned and she sat up. She felt better now, ready to find her dopey brothers...or some traning...she stroled over to the washrooms and had a quick splash, dressed then walked over to the offices. She paused and looked up at the village gates, high upon the cliffs...Come back Gaara , come back Kankurou... A shape appeared at the gate's entrance. Shika..... She smiled as he hopped down from the rocks onto a house then onto the sandy ground.
"Shika what are you doing here?", she asked him happy, but puzzled. He was lazy...wait try no motivation whatsoever, a trip like this was highly unlikely...
"Looking for Sakura...she hasn't returned", he relpyed shaking his head, "Her mother is dead worried, she won't stop harrasing Tsunade so we came on a recon mission...", he continued with a bored tone.
"What do you mean all of us?",she asked suddenly.
"I mean all of us! Geeze woman listen properly! Dig the sand out of your ears!", he gave a cute, lazy smile and ten heads popped over the hill. Ino, Naruto, Kakashi, Choji, Hinata, Neji, Ten Ten, Fuzzy eyebrows junior and senoir and Kurenai.
"Wow, you really bought the cavilary didn't you! How come Fuzzy eyebrows is here?", she asked smiling. Truth was she really had missed them! Seeing all the different faces was pure bliss, also the way Shikamaru was staring at her now...He leaned in closer as the others closed in...
"Meet me at the old tree later...", he whispered before Kakashi landed silently infront of them.
"Hey ya guys! Nice to see you Temari, have you grown? Or have you had your hair cut?", he asked.She shook her head smiling
"Kakashi...", she growled. She'd come to kinda appreaciate him over the years...even though she didn't like him. Unfortunately she'd caught him and Irukai later one night and decide she'd better be nice...plus it was kinda sweet that they'd found each other. Not that she liked gays...she hoped...
"So where's Sakura-chan?", Naruto said quickly, turning his head in all directions trying to spot her. She looked down...Shika sighed...
"How troublesome...".
Gaara wiped the sweat from his arms and legs while he got up. He fell over enough times to count but finally got his balance...Sakura looked up at him with the same puppy dog eyes that made his new heart melt...That's my baby...killer everywhere...including the bed... She sighed and wrapped the cotton sheets around her chest as she crossed the room to get her clothes, leaving a silken trail of sheets behind her. He imagined the wedding dress his mother had left him. Stunning light blue lace, with a two metre trail and a small tiara to set off her lovely pink hair...She caught him staring at her.
"Gaara are you okay?", she asked him. Her voice snapped him out of the trance,
"Yeah i'm fine...".
"What were you thinking about?", she asked questioningly. He sighed loudly, it was out...
"My mother left her wedding dress to me...it's the only thing I have left of her...and since you're my mate...i was wondering...", he trailed off. He eyes suddenly lit up as she caught his meaning.
"Y-Y-You want me to marry you?", she asked excitedly. He nodded.
"But this dress is special, special enough for you...plus the tiara will set off your hair perfectly...", she nodded quickly the ran over to him, half naked and hugged him.
"I will...It will be an honour!", she squealed. He cringed as the harsh sound waves entered his ears.
"Slow down...we have to pass it through the villages first", he whispered into her ear. She smiled.
"I love you Gaara...don't ever forget that!", she snuggled into his shoulder. They stayed there for a long time, embracing each other until a sliver of sand fell from the ceiling. Gaara hissed sudenly.
"Daisan no Me", he said silently as a small amount of sand formed itself into a tiny floating eyeball. Sakura let out a small gasp as it focused it's large green pupil on her.
"Behave", Gaara said quietly and the eyeball floated out the back entrance. She watched it until Gaara's arms came around her middle again.
"Shhhhhhh, my desert petal", he crooned as she calmed down. He let go and readied his clothes, she did the same...watching the entrance out of the corner of her eye the whole time.Great...perverted eyeballs what next?
Kankurou approached the sand mound carefully...moving slowly and cautiously towards the secret entrance...He felt the sand give way beneith him and silently wished Gaara was asleep, there's no way he couldn't have heard that...He quietly surrendered and sat down on another small mound. A small dot began moving fast towards him...Gaara's eye ...He let it circle him and then looked over the eye to the hole that had suddenly grown two heads...Sakura and Gaara emerged and looked at him suspiciously...
"So there you two are...you do realise half the village was looking for you...", he said to Gaara. Gaara shrugged,
"So what? I was looking after Sakura since my demon attacked her...", He stopped when Kankurou looked at him with that 'duh' stare.
"I know what happened Gaara...She's a demon isn't she?", he looked to Sakura who immediately dropped her head. Gaara grabbed her shoulders.
"She's my mate...she's not just any demon..", he answered stonily. Kankurou looked astonished.
"So what you're trying to tell me is that she's yours now...as in your mate?",he asked incrediously. They both nodded.
"Tsuande won't let you do it...", Kankurou started.
"No she can't...I'm a Kazekage...therefore it's basically a peace treaty, a converging of countries", Gaara said plainly. Sakura looked up at him and he smiled back. Kankurou looked back and forth between them and shook his head.
"If you say so my brother...Let's get going before Temari send a search party for us..."
Fuzzy eyebrows senoir shook his head.
"Sakura can't be a demon...there was only one Shukaku created! And it's currently seal in your brother!", He said quickly. Temari shook her head at him. Naruto grunted and tried to get her attention. She glared at him.
"What?!?!", she screamed at him frustratedly. He shyed away slightly then gave his comment..
"No...i've heard her too...It is Sakura, she keeps mumbling in her sleep when we go on missions onernight. She also doesn't sleep sometimes...". Temari shook her head.
"No, this it quite recent. She was probably just scared or something...this is new...", Temari said.
"Maybe my Lee-san's youthfullness kept her awake! They were all with Kakashi, remember", Might Guy answered ( aka fuzzy brows senior...). Temari just stared at him. Was he really this full of himself all the time?????? Naruto stood up suddenly and sniffed the afternoon breeze...the faint scent of lavender carried on the wind to his eagerly twitching nostrils, also a musky scent, new to him and the usual sand-sibling-scent almost overpowering it...
"SAKURA!!!! GAARA!!!! KANKUROU!!!!!!", he shouted at the top of his lungs as the two demons and puppetere rounded the corner from the gates. He ran over, folloewd by the two fuzzy brows, Kakashi and Ino...
They rounded the city gates only to be welcomed by a screaming Naruto and half of the rookie nine.
"INO PIG!!!!", Sakura screamed out as she ran past Naruto who had his arms streached wide for a hug.
"PINK HAIRED BRAT!!!!!", Ino screamed back as they crashed into one another. A little help from the sand had gotten them back earlier that they expected...Sakura and Ino exchanged hugs and began babbling away about the current circumstances. Gaara stood back and watched...obviously the demon hasn't affected her social skills... he thought with a smile. Naruto walked over to him and saw the smile. He started to stare...
"Naruto what are you staring at?", he asked sheepishly.
"Y-Y-You smiled!!!!", Naruto said slightly taken aback by the unusual show of emotion from his fellow demon.
"So I did...", he chuckled.
"Why? What's so funny about Sakura being a demon?!?", Naruto asked shocked.
"Naruto...she's my mate...or rather the demon's mate".
"Really? How do you know?", Naruto asked puzzled.
"It bit her shoulder see...", Gaara said pointing at the small fading bite marks on her neck. Naruto smiled and nodded clamping Gaara on the back as he did so. Gaara's breath whooshed out as Naruto whacked his back.
"So what's going to happen now? Marriage? Second Kazekage? Little demon children?", Naruto asked with a smile
"I'm not sure Naruto...", He said as he made contact with Sakura's pearlecent green eyes once more. They were full of happyiness...he never wanted her to feel any different from now on...she was going to be his wife, his partner...his son's mother...the second-fifth-Kazekage...His Sakura...
