Chapter Twelve
A Happy Ending
Kiba frowned.
He had left his house a couple of hours ago when Naruto said to meet them at Konoha Lake. Sometimes he wished he wasn't always left in the dark of some things.
With a soft sigh, Kiba threw another rock out on the water, watching it bounce three times, then sink into the lake's depth. He seriously hated to be alone, but oh well, he'd have to deal with it for now.
Since Naruto and the other guys were standing him up for some odd... reason...
That meant he was basically a big ass target for anyone who wanted to come get him.
Good, come get me, Mr. Sabaku.
No one was going to let the two of them deal with this alone, they were all in it together! Why did he want to be a hero? He was such a shitty teenager, always mean to Gaara, just because he was different.
He was twenty-five now, he needed to act like it.
"Inuzuka Kiba..."
The brunette smirked slightly and turned his head to the right, coming face to face with no one other than Sasuke's older brother, Itachi Uchiha. Go figure it would be him. Kiba and Sasuke were friends in High School, so he knew Itachi, not well, but he knew him none the less.
Kiba rolled his eyes. "Itachi, what do you want?"
Itachi chuckled. "I'm only enjoying the view, no need to be so hostile."
"Fuck off, I know who you work for."
This time Itachi frowned. Kiba didn't know what situation he was in, and he was acting like a prick. Well, no matter. Mr. Sabaku wanted to see him as soon as possible, so there was no reason to wait.
Opening his jacket, Itachi grabbed a pistol, and held it to the brunette's head. "I think you should come with me, Inuzuka. This will be a lot easier if you do."
Smirking slightly, Kiba stood up and knocked the gun out of his hand. They looked at each other for a second, before they both dived on the ground, desperately trying to get to the gun.
Kiba punched Itachi in the face, hearing a sickening crack, which meant the Inuzuka boy broke his nose. Itachi hissed in pain, before grasping his nose in his hands, and clenching his eyes shut.
"What the hell is going on here?"
The brunette looked up to see Naruto and Shikamaru standing above them, mean while Naruto was holding Itachi's gun. "Itachi works for Gaara's father..."
"WAIT A MINUTE! You guys left me here all by myself so I can-"
Itachi chuckled and stood up. "You three are foolish to believe I came here by myself."
Three other goons, including Gaara's father, came out of a black limo, all smirking a little as they did so.
"So you could lure them out..." Gaara whispered softly.
Kiba stared at his red haired friend in confusion, before turning his attention back towards Itachi and the other four.
This is it... this is where I test your loyalty. To me and to Sakura.
Gaara aimed a gun towards his father, earning a couple of gasps from his friends. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw them backing up a little, shocked at the scene before them. I knew it... they'd leave-
But suddenly, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Kiba went into defensive stances, making Gaara widen his eyes. They weren't going to leave him? That meant, they were really his friends...
Itachi smirked and rose up, still holding his broken nose. "Do you honestly think you would win against your own father, Sabaku?"
Naruto frowned. "How could you do this to your kid! Your own son! And you!" He pointed towards the people working for Gaara's father, with a glare. "How could you continue following after him? Especially you, Itachi! Your brother lost his life due to your own father, now you're going to make Gaara lose his? What is wrong with you?"
Itachi's smirk faded and he stared at Naruto with sad eyes; as if saying he had to do this.
The blond shook his head in disappointment. "You make me sick!"
Konan looked at Itachi and Nagato, before stepping over to their side. "Naruto's right. We're doing this for a man who wants to kill his own son..."
Mr. Sabaku frowned and pointed a gun in her direction, "You think you can just leave me like that?"
Nagato grabbed Sabaku's wrist and twisted his arm behind his back. "You won't hurt her, otherwise I'd have to be dead."
"Fuck it, I didn't fucking like this stupid ass creep anyway." Hidan said, before shrugging.
Gaara smirked and placed the gun onto his father's head. "This is goodbye," He said, before taking the shot.
The air felt a lot lighter now, and Sakura couldn't understand why. It was as if every troubles she had, has been taken away.
She looked towards Ino with wide eyes, "Do you feel it too?"
"Yes, I do. I don't understand but-"
Suddenly, the boys stepped through the door, with four people following behind them.
Sakura looked at them like they were crazy. "Are you nuts? Why are you- covered in blood?"
Gaara didn't say anything at first, how could he? What was he supposed to say? That he killed his father with no remorse? That he didn't care if his father was now laying in the ground with a bullet between his eyes? That the sickening smile that came across his face after he shot his father was the best thing he's ever felt?
Should he save the details for Naruto to explain? What...
"You're thinking too much, dobe."
"Wha-"
Sasuke stood before him with a small scowl on his face, while his arms were crossed. No one else was around. It was only him and Sasuke staring at each other like nothing else mattered.
"Stop being such an idiot... just tell Sakura the truth. She likes that."
"Why are you here?"
"Because I'm trying to help you, duh." Sasuke said, with a roll of his eyes. "You need to snap out of it."
"But... I can't tell her I shot my own father. She won't look at me the same, ever again."
"She loves you... like seriously. But... still. Don't worry about it. As long as you're still alive, that's all that matters."
"This doesn't make any sense."
"It's because you were meant for her. I wasn't. Now wake up, dobe."
Gaara woke up in a cold sweat and looked around to see Sakura, as well as his friends standing around him.
Shikamaru yawned. "How troublesome."
Naruto bent down to his level. "You passed out for a couple of minutes there, are you okay?"
With a nod, Gaara gathered Sakura into his arms. "I hope you can forgive me."
She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you Gaara, they told me everything. I don't mind..."
Gaara placed a hand on her belly. I was meant to be with Sakura. I hope you'll watch over them, Sasuke.
Don't you worry, dobe. They'll be safe with you. Sasuke's voice ringed in his head, which made Gaara finally smile.
His beautiful girlfriend will have his child...
His father was no longer a problem...
Kankuro was finally reacting to the tests and he should be fine...
His life was finally turning around.
He was happy.
Like it? Love it? Hate it?
I'm sad to say, this is the end.
Sorry it took so long, but I do hope you enjoyed it.
