A True Samurai
Chapter Twelve, In The Future
"Your preliminary test. It is today." Kusa, the green haired man said.
"Those of you who fail will be dealt with by Toji." Mako, the dark haired man said, gesturing to the blood hound that was twice our size and tied up to a near by wall.
The dog's snapping jaws and growling made us shake in fear.
"First up. Sakura and Jinta." Kusa said.
I looked over at the boy with light blond hair and blue eyes. He was terrified. So was I.
We were grabbed roughly and throughen inside of a large fighting cage.
"Fight or you'll die." Mako growled, hitting the cage with his hand.
"You better fight to kill. Or Toji is going to finish off the loser."
Jinta lunged at me, in fear of what would happen if we didn't.
The floor was littered with a mutitude of rusty, blood covered weapons. I took the kunai from the ground as he went to punch me. I got out of his way and he crashed into the cage wall.
He got up and took a knife from the ground and ran at me again. I got out of the way again.
He swipped for me a fourth time and finally succeeded in slashing my arm.
I clutched my arm and he knocked me to the ground. I took a kunai from the ground to defend myself.
I smelled something odd. Like iron. It was a strong smell. Looking between us I saw my kunai impaling the boy, right where his heart would be and fell backwards onto my rear, staring up at him in fear. I watched as the light drained from his eyes and he fell to the ground. Dead.
I stared at my small blood stained hands in shock, my breath coming out in short pants. Like my lungs were being constricted.
I... I killed someone... I... I'm a murderer.
" Take the girl to her cell. She fights tomorrow."
"And the boys body?"
"Toji looks hungry."
As I was dragged out of the room, I saw them throw Jinta's body to where the dog was. I saw the dog bite into the boys jugular and rip it out.
I gagged and forced myself to look away.
"Sakura." Gaara whispered in my ear.
I cracked an eye open and turned on my side to see Gaara better.
I smiled at Gaara's shirtless form and reached up, rubbing his strong, muscled chest. Gaara got ontop of me, pinning my arms above my head.
"You know it drives me insane when you do that." Gaara growled and nipped my ear lobe.
I giggled and squirmed underneath him.
"You're not getting away so easily, Sa-ku-ra." Gaara whispered in my ear.
I wrapped my legs around his hips. Gaara groaned a low, gruttle moan.
"You're trying to make me rape you, aren't you?" Gaara moaned.
I free'd my hands from his grasp and pulled his head down for a passionate kiss.
"It's not rape if it's concentual." I purred.
Gaara attacked my lips once more, grinding his need against my aching core. Gaara let out a primal growl, pulling at my bindings that covered the top half of my chest.
"Kazekage-sama! We need to go over battlefield plans!" A shinobi called from outside the tent.
Gaara glared at whoever was on the otherside of the tent.
"I'm going to be a few minutes, go ahead without me." Gaara said threw gritted teeth.
"Hai!"
Gaara looked down at me. I couldn't help myself. I went into a fit of uncontrolable laughter. He looked like someone just killed his puppy.
Gaara glared down at me.
"Why me..?" He muttered and rose off the sleeping mat, pulling the covers off me.
"You're coming too. Second in Comand." Gaara smirked.
I growled.
"You suck." I muttered and got up to put on my black gii.
After we dressed, we walked out of the tent and went to meet Onoki inside another tent on the other side of camp. Once we got there, it was time for business.
"In four days we are going to randevous with Mifune and his group once we reach the Kuroku Bridge. It seems they are in dire need of our assistance." Onoki said.
Gaara and I nodded.
"We leave by night fall." Gaara said.
"Will there be anything else, Onoki-dono?" I asked.
Onoki rolled his eyes.
"You're free to do whatever it is you young lovers do. Now get out of my hair!" The old man growled.
"Hair? All I see is a bald midget." I smirked.
"YOU DAMN GIRL! I'LL SHOW YOU BALD!"
"You know, you really are an idiot sometimes." Gaara sighed.
"Eh, I'd rather be an idiot than a stuck up prick like you." I shrugged.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." Gaara growled.
I smirked in response and fell back on my sleeping mat, folding my arms under my head and staring up at the white cloth of the tent.
"Prick." I muttered.
"You love me anyway." Gaara chuckled and layed down on his side next to me.
His hand came up to trace the features of my face. Eyebrows. Nose, Jaw. Chin. Then he stopped at my lips, running his thumb over my plump, rosy lips. He stared at me for what seemed like an eternity before speaking.
"Marry me." Gaara stated out of the blue.
I gaped at him.
"Pardon?"
"Marry me." Gaara repeated with more force.
"Gaara...-"
"I'm turning seventeen soon. You're already sixteen. We are of marrying age. So no one can protest. Even if they did, I'd kill them." Gaara stated.
"But-"
"This isn't up for discution. I'm marrying you, and there's no way around it." Gaara said and gathered me into his arms, burying his nose into my hair.
"Gaara. You're the Kazekage. I'm Mifune's right hand. And I seem to be stating this to you alot lately, so much, it's worrying me. We are in a war. Has that not registered in that thick skull of yours?" I grumbled.
I felt Gaara's chest rumble in laughter.
"Say what you want now, but Sakura..."
Gaara pulled away enough to have us eye level. Sea foam staring into emerald.
"I know we are in a war. That's why I want to think of a future after the war. A future with you." Gaara said.
I placed my hand on his cheek and he nuzzled his face into my hand more.
"I love you, you stuck up prick." I sighed and turned around, facing away from him.
I could hear him chuckle.
"I love you too, crazy woman." Gaara laughed and held me tightly to his chest.
It was peacefully silent for about four more seconds.
"I'm still going to marry you." Gaara whispered.
"And I'm still going to kick you're ass if you don't shut up." I snapped.
"Oh really now?"
"Hmph!"
"I hope you know, I'm going to keep asking you until you say yes." Gaara said.
I felt a vein in my forehead throb.
"Damn idiot." I muttered and felt him snuggle impossibly closer to me, burying his face in my neck.
"Stubborn woman." He shot back as we both slowly settled down into our blissful slumber.
