I made a mistake last chapter, Gaara's mother name is Karura not Kaoru. My bad! Again sorry for making you wait so long but I've completely revamped my plan for this story so it took a while for this chapter. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR LOVELY REVIEWS!
Disclaimer: Doesn't everyone get it by now? I do not own Naruto nor did I create it.
Dedication: Scarlet Sand Demon because she back at fanfiction!
Hello Daddy
"I hate school. It's evil and it should be punished." Hana was muttering on the way to the car and Ino stared at her in shock.
"You're normally the one all happy that its school and that you get to see Gaara again and all that." She asked in question. Hana glared at her darkly and continued muttering to herself.
"Don't worry about it Ino, it's that time of the month. Hana gets grumpy instead of angry like the rest of us." Sakura reassured Ino who still looked worriedly at Hana before she got in the car.
"Still weird to see World's Bubbliest Person this grumpy." Ino commented.
"Does someone have bubbles?" Hana said perkily and Ino jumped in surprise.
"No, no one has bubbles Hana-chan." Hinata said patiently.
"Well then why did someone say they did?" Hana asked in shock before putting her head on the window and falling asleep.
"Yeah she also gets mood swings." Sakura added with a smirk as she started up the car.
"You don't say." Ino said sarcastically.
At school
"Hana-chan I'm sure he'll take you on a real date this weekend." Hinata said soothingly at the sniffling Hana.
"Really?" Hana asked hopefully, her eyes shining.
"Yes I'm sure Hana-chan. Now why don't we go and see them?" Hinata managed to coax Hana out the car to follow Sakura and Ino into school. Temari and Tenten had gone to school earlier.
"Okay! Let's go!" Hana leapt out the car, locked it and dragged Hinata up to school all in the space of 30 seconds.
In the classroom Sakura just turned round to see Hana glomp Gaara and she smirked. Poor unsuspecting Gaara. However when she got over there, Hana was relaxed against Gaara's chest and she was talking normally about Geography homework.
"Hana, you acting normal." Sakura said, shocked.
"Yeah what about it?" Hana shrugged.
"Nothing it's just you're normal." Sakura repeated again dumbly. Hana giggled.
"I think your brain's short-circuiting." Hana said before asking Gaara whether Orochimaru was a paedophile.
"Gaara managed to get Hana acting normal." Sakura hissed to Temari who looked up in shock.
"Really?!" She asked in an amazed tone. Sakura gestured towards Hana and Gaara and Temari added, "He's a miracle worker. We should worship him and move him in when it's Hana's time of the month."
"Yeah now we just need someone who will work for Tenten." Sakura muttered but Tenten, behind her, caught it.
"I'm not that bad on my period am I?" She asked.
"Yeah you have worse mood swings than Hana." Temari scoffed.
"I DO NOT GET MOOD SWINGS WHEN I'M ON MY PERIOD!" Tenten said/shouted. Neji and Sasuke who were sitting right beside her stared at her weirdly and she blushed and stared at the floor.
"And it's started." Sakura muttered to Temari and then winced in pain as Tenten kicked her in the shin.
"You should have learnt the lesson Ino and I did Tennie." Hana said patronisingly in what she thought must be a comforting tone. Tenten glared at her.
Lunch
"I hate Orochimaru." Sakura muttered as she slammed her forehead onto the lunch table.
"Careful Sakura otherwise you'll get a large red mark on that giant forehead of yours." Ino teased as she sat down beside her.
"Well I don't know about that but she is getting ketchup in her hair." Temari said matter-of-factly.
"Hey guys." Tenten greeted the guys as they walked over with unusually glum faces.
"What's up?" Hana asked as they all sat down.
"You mean apart from the fact that our date with the fan girls is coming up soon, or maybe it's the fact that Ibiki is making us write a 3000 words essay in French on our weekend." Shikamaru grumbled as he poked at his food.
"I don't even know 3000 words in English let alone French! I'm doomed." Naruto cried melodramatically. Hinata tried to comfort him with some home-made ramen.
"Surprisingly the dobe is right. He doesn't know 3000 words in any language not counting the swear words." Sasuke smirked as Naruto glared at him indignantly but couldn't speak on account of having almost the whole bowlful of ramen in his mouth.
"So what happened in your class? You know Maths and Geography." Neji asked as Sasuke poked Sakura with an unusual worried expression on his face.
"Well we had the creepy Orochimaru for Geography which is why Sakura is in this cationic state, it seems that he's picking on her a lot. With Maths Genma was back and there was no evil Ebisu to worry about. Plus your tutoring really worked Gaara-kun! I understood everything he was talking about." Hana said brightly. Gaara smirked back at her but they both turned when Sasuke cursed loudly.
"Orochimaru seems to be picking on you?" He asked Sakura and all the guys looked worried.
"Yes, why?" Sakura muttered, turning her head slightly so she could look at Sasuke.
"Well last year I had Geography and Orochimaru developed a very unhealthy obsession with me." Sasuke explained tightly. Sakura raised her head and looked at Sasuke in worry, ignoring the ketchup in her hair.
"What do you mean an unhealthy obsession with you?" She asked.
"He broke into Sasuke's house last year and tried to kidnap him for some weird experiments." Neji explained further.
"Then how is he not locked away for what he did to Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked in distress not noticing the additional –kun, however nearly everyone else did.
"There wasn't enough evidence to arrest him but he was kept under surveillance on suspicion for about 6 months afterwards." Shikamaru explained.
"I thought you didn't know anything." Naruto asked Shikamaru.
"I hacked into the police files the other night." Shikamaru explained. Temari looked admiring while the rest looked on in shock.
"Anyway what does that mean for Sakura?" Ino asked Sasuke who went back to looking worried.
"It means that she will have to be very careful from now on, and she must never be alone with Orochimaru of Kabuto who will do anything Orochimaru asks." Sasuke replies.
"Will you please stop talking about me like I'm not there?" Sakura said, hiding her fear with anger.
"Sorry Sakura." They both muttered.
"But still don't be alone with either of those two okay?" Hana asked and Sakura nodded.
"Yeah don't worry around them I'll just follow my instincts."
After school
"I'm so glad school is over." Temari groaned as she sagged down onto the nearest chair.
"It's only been two days." Shikamaru remarked amusedly.
"More like two lifetimes. You don't have to worry about the bitch posse, leaving surprises in your locker." Tenten said as she flopped down on the floor next to Temari.
"Yes we do. With the letters and the gifts we have to step away from our locker when we open them otherwise we get buried." Neji pointed out.
"Fair point. But at least it isn't non-washable paint on your clothes." Tenten said with her eyes closed.
"I don't see any paint." Naruto said.
"It's in the car. Hang on I have that CD I borrowed from you as well in the car, Neji. Let me go get it." Tenten got up, disrupting Neji who had been leaning on her but as soon as she reached for the door a jangle of keys stopped her.
"Hey little bro! Keys still work." A tall brown haired and brown eyed boy walked through the front door startling everyone gathered by it.
"Kankuro." Gaara greeted in his usual monotone voice. Kankuro chuckled.
"Still full of excitement little bro." Then he noticed Tenten standing just to the right of the door. "Well hello pretty lady what can I do for you?" He said accompanied with a charming smile. Tenten blushed slightly and shook his hand giggling. Neji glared at Kankuro, already familiar with his playboy personality.
"I'm Tenten; I'm friends with the guys." She explained with a wave of her hand. Kankuro then noticed the other girls in the room.
"Wow my brother is actually friends with girls and not just girls, pretty girls." Kankuro said, amazed and Gaara glared at him.
"Your amazement is insulting, Kankuro." Gaara said coolly. Kankuro grinned at him unrepentantly.
"The question is: are all of you pretty ladies free?" Kankuro said slinging an arm round Tenten who giggled along with the rest of the girls while the guys either looked disgusted or scowled. Neji stood behind Tenten and glared at Kankuro who laughed and released Tenten.
"Calm down Hyuuga, she's yours I get it." Tenten looked up at Neji in confusion while he avoided her eyes.
"So who else is single?" Kankuro asked and Temari and Sakura raised their hands (Tenten was too busy working out Kankuro's comment to hear the question).
"But you can't date me." Temari said, smiling slightly. Kankuro fake-pouted.
"Aww why not?" He said in a small child's voice.
"She's our sister." Gaara decided to come right out and say it. Kankuro stared at him for a moment and then started to laugh.
"Haha good one Gaara. I'm glad to see your sense of humour has grown." Gaara stared back at him and slowly his smile faded. "She really is our sister?" A small nod. "No shit." He said with a blank expression on his face.
"Are you okay?" Tenten asked, as Kankuro's face had gone milky white.
"Yeah sure. I mean I meet my sister for the first time every single day." Kankuro said in a high unnatural voice. "Care to explain how we know that?" He asked Gaara and Gaara silently handed him the birth certificate from his pocket. Kankuro read it quickly and then smiled weakly. "Well then I guess welcome to the family little sis." Temari smiled at him.
"Actually I'm older sis cause you are 5 months older than Gaara while I'm seven months older than him."
"You're older than me?" Kankuro and Shikamaru said in unison and Temari smiled wickedly.
"Yep. Ain't life grand?"
"I feel like I need a hug." Kankuro said pouting. "How about you?" He said to the nearest girl (that wasn't his sister) Hana. Gaara glared at him darkly, put an arm round Hana's waist and pulled her closer to him. Kankuro stared at his display in shock and delight.
"My little brother has actually got a girlfriend!? Wow this is amazing! And here I was thinking that you were going to be asexual for the rest of your life like the Hyuuga and the Uchiha." Everyone smirked while Gaara, Neji and Sasuke glared at Kankuro.
"We are not asexual." Sasuke ground out and Kankuro smiled at him.
"Well I know that now but 6 months ago when I last visited you guys, you showed no interest in girls at all, and it seemed like you had never been kissed." They all glared at Kankuro again but there was a slight hint of red on their cheeks.
"Actually both Naruto and Sasuke have already had their first kiss." Shikamaru said smirking evilly. Kankuro looked interested and spun round to Shikamaru.
"They have? Who with?" Neji and Gaara started smirking along with Shikamaru while Naruto and Sasuke were flushing red."
"With each other." Shikamaru then stood back to observe the chaos his bombshell would bring. Sakura and Ino started choking, Naruto and Sasuke looked ready to kill someone (probably Shikamaru), Neji, Gaara and Shikamaru's expressions didn't change, Temari and Tenten started snickering, and Hana and Hinata just looked gobsmacked but Kankuro, after a minute's hesitation, burst into laughter.
"That..is...so...perfect. I...wish...someone...had got...a picture." He said when he drew breath. Shikamaru's smirk widened and Kankuro started laughing harder.
"You do?" Naruto asked and when Shikamaru nodded, he and Sasuke immediately turned tail and ran upstairs. Shikamaru, realising what they were after, was hot on their heels. Hana had now got over her shock and was now laughing along with Temari and Tenten. Gaara smirked down at her but he turned when he heard a now familiar sound, the key in the lock of the door. Two familiar men walked through the door and Gaara, Kankuro, Hinata and Neji immediately froze with blank looks sliding onto their faces.
"Hello Neji," The man with long brown hair greeted stiffly.
"Gaara." The man with brown, spiky hair that greatly resembles Kankuro said. The girls immediately sensed something bad about them, their resemblance to some of their friends and their cold eyes made them instantly wary.
"Who are you?" Temari asked rudely. The brown haired man with dark eyes stared at her as if she was something on the bottom of his shoe.
"Hello Otou-sama, Hiashi-sama." Gaara introduced them both, answering Temari's question. The girls' suspicions were immediately confirmed and Temari and Hana both glared at the second man, remembering what Gaara had told them about his childhood.
Naruto, Sasuke and Shikamaru came down the steps bickering loudly but when they saw the two visitors, their expressions matched Gaara and Neji's. They walked quietly to the front of the group, standing protectively in front of the girls, as had Gaara and Neji.
"Hello Hiashi-san, may I ask what your business here is?" Hinata said in a voice that could have frozen ice. Naruto glanced at her, slightly worried, but refocused his attention back to the two men.
"Yes Hiashi-sama, what do you want?" Neji followed up with glaring at the two men. Hiashi coughed authoritatively but it was Fusao who answered.
"Well we both need people to help run our companies now and to take over after we retire. So Hiashi-san has come here to train Neji to handle his company and I have come to see which one of my sons is better prepared for my position as Kazekage." All the boys were stunned but Gaara immediately answered,
"No thanks." In his usual voice. His father looked angry,
"Now Gaara you want to think about this, it is a position of great power and influence." Gaara glared at him and repeated his answer. Kankuro immediately followed up with his answer which was the same as Gaara's. However before their father could reply Neji asked Hiashi,
"Are you talking about Hyuuga corporation where you are President now?" Hiashi, with a smug look on his face, nodded and Hinata's eyes flashed with pain. Her own father was treating her like she doesn't even exist and trying to create a rift between her and Neji. Naruto caught this look and was immediately incensed.
"Hey teme!" Hiashi and Sasuke immediately turned to look at Naruto, as did everyone else. "Where the hell do you get off just treating Hinata and her sister like shit?! You're treating them like dolls that you can just work with when you feel like it and then toss away if they don't do what you want them do! And I bet that part of the reason you offered Neji the job, considering you still have an heir at home, is because you want to control his life just like you tried to control Hinata's life!" Hiashi's expression had gone colder and colder as Naruto went on while Neji's expression had been showing more and more disgust with Hiashi and himself. He suddenly spoke,
"Thank you Naruto. You made me realise that Hiashi-sama will always be a controlling bastard and that accepting this position will put me in his clutches once more. So I will have to refuse." This last part he said to Hiashi who now wore the same expression as Fusao: rage.
"You may refuse our offers now but with certain conditions you may find it is the only choice." Hiashi said coldly.
"Like what?" Tenten asked, on edge.
"Like how would you like to go back to the Konoha Institute for Mentally Challenged Patients, Gaara?" Fusao said, looking superior. All the guys, but especially Gaara and Kankuro, stiffened up at the name.
"Like anyone would believe you? When a patient is convicted, they look at everyone's testimonies, like teachers, carers and friends. And none of us think he's crazy and neither do his teachers or his guardians." Hana put in, glaring at Kazekage with dislike. He stared back, amazed but smug.
"No but like I said I have a very powerful and influential position." He answered back.
"But I can go to the papers and if we raise enough stir about child abuse or something along those lines, they listen to the child not the adult in those cases, then you will lose that 'powerful and influential position' as you put it." She retorted. Everyone around them was watching the argument go back and forth, like a tennis match. Fusao looked thoughtful.
"What is your name, girl?" Hana stiffened and Gaara, recognising what he was trying to do, stopped him.
"You will not go anywhere near my friends otou-sama otherwise there really will be a reason to put me into a mental institute. Now this is our house and you are not welcome here." Fusao and Hiashi stared at him in shock for a moment trying to process what he just said.
"That means get out of our house." Neji said bluntly and Shikamaru held the door open for them and motioned towards outside. With one last glare, the two men left as dignified as they could after being thrown out. There was a collective sigh of relief as the door shut behind them.
"Ding dong the bastards are gone." Sakura summed up everyone's feeling nicely.
"Hey girls do you wanna stay the night?" Naruto suddenly said, and at this it was like a spell had been broken and everyone started making arrangements for the girls while the girls in question resumed exploring the house. Tenten was left behind with Neji to phone Anko and Kurenai.
"Hey Anko?...Yeah it's me Tenten, is it okay if we stay at the guys' house tonight?...No Kakashi and Asuma should be here...ANKO!...No that's your sick mind talking...So it's okay?...Cool, okay, see you tomorrow, bye." As Tenten hung up she spun around to the place where she had left Neji. "Okay you and I have to talk in private now." She demanded and he silently lead her down into the basement and then up some stairs into a small tower where you got a view down the driveway from.
"Wow this is brilliant!" Tenten said as she hung out the window, but catching Neji's face she came back in. "Right talking. What I wanted to know was...what did you mean when Kankuro-san said, 'I know she's yours Hyuuga'?" Tenten stared in astonishment as Neji shifted slightly, looking uncomfortable.
"Well I wasn't planning on telling you like this but Kankuro really didn't help keep it a secret." Tenten waited patiently as Neji took a deep breath and continued on, "What I want to say is I...really...like you Tenten." Neji looked unusually anxious as he looked at the ground and waited for Tenten's reaction. Because of this, however he didn't see the huge grin spread across Tenten's face. He did notice though, when she leapt on him and fell on top of him so they both landed up on the floor with Tenten lying on top of Neji. "I'll take this as a good response shall I?" Neji asked with a small smile on his face. Tenten nodded and kissed him and he responded eagerly.
Back in the main house
"So what's your favourite food?" Kankuro asked Temari as they looked around Kakashi's bedroom.
"Candyfloss and apples." She answered and he stared at her.
"Really? That's so weird." Temari stuck her tongue out at him as they looked under the bed.
"What the hell are these?" Temari said slowly as she pulled out lots of little orange books. As she caught titles on a few of them she jumped up as if she had been scalded. "EWW! IT'S PORN!" She looked disgusted as she saw Kankuro had started reading one of them. "MY BROTHER'S A PERVERT!" She shrieked.
"I am not." Gaara stated angrily from the doorway next to Hana who was holding up a video camera.
"I didn't mean you Gaara, I meant Kankuro here." Temari said exasperatedly. "And why have you got a camera Hana?"
"Gaara found it for me in his room and I'm going round to see if I can get everyone acting naturally on film. I think I definitely caught you right." Before Temari could blow up at the implied insult, Hana threw back, "Oh by the way Shikamaru wants to talk to you. Come on Gaara I want to try and catch Naruto and Hinata making out and blackmail her with it. Hina-chan is so hard to get blackmail on, while the others are so easy." Temari was about to chase after Hana and rant to her a bit but she decided to find out what Shikamaru wanted first.
Meanwhile Gaara and Hana were crawling on their hands and knees (Hana's insistence, she said she got a better view on the camera from there) through a hidden corridor(again Hana's insistence, after all it's not every day you find a secret passageway) when Gaara caught Hana's eye and gestured to the wall about eye height. Hana scrambled to her feet and tried to peer the two holes that were adding a little more light to the corridor. To her displeasure she found that she couldn't reach them.
"Damn it all to hell I'm too bloody short!" She hissed to Gaara who looked shocked at all the swearing but only rolled his eyes when Hana motioned him to give her a piggy back upwards. They slowly raised up together until Gaara could see through one hole while Hana could see through the other, but she raised the camera to it so she got a bigger view and pressed record. In the room, which was obviously Sasuke's room (Gaara had told Hana that the maids had crafted the holes to watch him changing and Sasuke hadn't quite figured out why his wall was giggling when he took his top off yet so the holes were unblocked) Sasuke and Sakura was sitting on the bed with their backs against the wall, where they were having a conversation, much to Hana's disappointment.
"I thought they would be doing something that I could blackmail them on." Hana breathed in Gaara's ear. Gaara shivered but answered quietly,
"Look at their hands." Hana's eyes followed his line of thought and she saw their fingers were linked together and they were holding hands on top of the duvet. Hana gasped slightly in shock and then nearly toppled her and Gaara over when she saw Sasuke lean down and gently kiss Sakura's lips. And Sakura just giggled and kissed him back. Hana had just managed to get the camera steady for the next kiss. But Sasuke interrupted the kissing by asking Sakura,
"So when should we tell the others?"
"I don't know. I mean first I didn't want to tell anyone because that was the night where Kagami proved just what a bitch she was and Hana and Gaara got together so it was a bit like too much news in one night sort of. And then after the things Hana went through after the girls found out about her and Gaara with Ino drawing up what their babies would look like and Tenten figuring out their astrology charts and how compatible they were and it all just seemed like too much hassle. Oh crap I sound like Shikamaru!" Sakura looked horrified at the thought but Sasuke just chuckled.
"And then when we had already kept it a secret it was just easier for it to keep on being a secret." Sakura nodded eagerly. "I understand but you do realise it's not going to stay secret for long? I mean Temari, Tenten, Hana and Ino are some of the most stubborn girls I have met, especially Ino and Hana. They are like with a dog with a bone when they suspect something, it's really scary." Sasuke mocked shivered, making Sakura laugh.
"And Hinata is sneakily cunning and can make you give yourself away without you even realising that you're doing it. That's why her and Hana get on so well, all people see is the sweet, bubbly outer shell but inside they are just as cunning and sneaky as Temari and Tenten." Hana smiled at Gaara when he looked at her with surprisingly little shock. "But don't worry Ino's the one with romantic ideas in her head, so she's the one most likely to notice something and she hasn't suspected anything."
"How do you know this? And wouldn't Hinata be able to guess?" Sasuke asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well Ino is not the subtle type. If she suspected anything then she would come right out and say it. But Hinata could guess, I mean it is her type of thing. She thrives on being in the background until she's really needed and by then she has already gather all the information she needs." Sakura admitted but turned round quickly when she heard a small sound.
"What? What is it?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Uh..nothing. I just thought I heard something but it's nothing." Sakura turned back round with a reassuring smile. "Do you want to go find out whether Shikamaru has actually confessed to Temari yet?"
"Sure, one thing though." He spun her round and kissed her hard.
"Wow." Was Sakura's only comment and behind the wall Hana's jaw had dropped. Wow, indeed. The ice cube has feelings! And not just feelings, feelings for Sakura! Her face had stretched into a manic grin and Gaara was looking at her, slightly worried. They both looked back at the holes and Hana raised the camera up again, where it had fallen after Sasuke's kiss. Shikamaru had come in, piggy backing Temari who had a wide grin on her face. Shikamaru's expression mirrored it apart from it was more a smirk.
"Care to explain?" Sasuke said in a careless voice, not at all appearing like he and Sakura had jumped back moments before.
"Well Shika confessed to me," Here Sasuke smirked at Shikamaru who tried to glare back but his face once again fell into its smile/smirk. "But I thought after all the emotional grief he caused me by being a bastard as well as the detention he got me, that I should get some payment. So I said I wanted a tour of the house being piggy-backed by Shika. And we are at Sasuke's room at the moment." Temari explained and at the end Sakura and Hana were both laughing hard (but Hana had to bit her fist while she was laughing) while Sasuke and Gaara were smirking.
"Good one Tema-chan!" Sakura said when she got her breath back.
"I do try." Temari said modestly. "Anyway onwards Shika! I want to see Naruto's room next! I won't be blinded by orange will I?"
"No you'll just suffocate from the smell." Shikamaru said sardonically. As they exited the room along with Sakura and Sasuke, Gaara and Hana were about to get down from the holes when Hana got on the camera, Ino, Hinata and Naruto wriggling out from underneath Sasuke's bed.
"Okay that was a surprise." Ino admitted when they were all straightened up.
"Come on, we have to get out of here before the bastard showed up!" As they scampered out, Gaara finally released Hana letting her slide to the floor before they both let out the breath they had been holding.
"Ino's right. That was a surprise." Hana finally said as she switched off the camera. "Come on Gaara-kun we have to find everyone and make them admit everything! And get it all on tape!" She tugged Gaara along the passage way and made their way out.
Hope you like this chapter! It's much longer than I thought it would be. Lessons are kinda being ignored at the mo, but I will focus on them a bit more soon. I was going to end it on the dads leaving part but it sort of ran away with me.
I recently found out that 'teme' doesn't mean bastard it means 'you!' but it an highly offensive way like a person would talk to someone beneath him, but the word you couldn't be translated rudely enough so they used bastard instead. I thank whoever mentioned that in there author's note and hopefully I have the translation now correct.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Next chapter will be a time skip of about 6 months so I sort of had to get all the relationships established, tell me how I did please!
Also from the 17th I will be going on holiday so no updates at all, plus I probably won't be writing any chapter because my laptop can't come with me (sob) and I always write my chapters on the laptop cause it's a lot easier to adjust things and delete them.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
