Declaimer: Lovelyanime does not own Naruto. If she did Naruto would not be drooling over a certain stupid pink haired girl, but instead over a certain sweet lavender eyed kunoichi.
Lovelyanime: I'm back! Sorry for not updating in a long time. I was busy during writer break and I wanted to work more one my new story. Anyway, this chapter is a little different from what I had planned for, but I think it's still good. It's going to take two chapters since I wanted to hurry and update. So, that means Hina-chan won't see Naruto until chapter…eighteen or nineteen. Yeah…Please don't hate me for all those who've been waiting for Hina-chan to come back. I am going to make her appear in chapter sixteen when she's with Ino at the other village. I just wanted people to know that. Okay, now that is settled… She is finally here! My favorite oc besides Hisoka! She is so-
Kiba: Will you knock it off already! You said you liked her how many times?! I think we get the point! You're so annoying and getting on my last nerve!
Shikamaru: (mumbles to himself) Someone's jealous or just pmsing.
Lovelyanime: (gasp) Kiba-kun…Yelled at me…He said…I'm annoying…(starts crying) I"m telling Hina-chan on you! (runs and hugs Hinata) Hina-chan! Kiba-kun is being mean!
Hinata: It's okay. What did he say? I'm sire he didn't mean it.
Lovelyanime: He said I was annoying and he hated me! He said he wishes that I was dead!
Kiba: I did not!
Lovelyanime: And you know what else he said? (hides evil smirk) He said Naruto is gay!
Everyone's thoughts: (besides Kiba, Hinata, Lovelyanime) Oh shit…(backs away from Hianata and Kiba)
Lovelyanime: He said that Naruto loves Sasuke and is always having Yaoi dreams of eachother.
Kiba: She's lying! I never said those things!
Sakura: I-I think we should start the chapter before there's going to be blood all over the place. Everyone say bye to Kiba…It may be his last appearance…
1/7/07 (first chapter of the new year!)
chapter 13- Raccoons At The Park
"Who's that girl? Is she new or just a visitor?"
"She's so weird looking. She kinda looks like that Hisoka kid. With the ears and stuff I mean."
"I think Hisoka is better looking than her."
"Shh! She's looking this way."
A girl's ears twitched slightly. She turned her head around to see Three older girls talking about her. She didn't know why they were talking about her, all she had been doing was sitting here and staring at the sand. Of course, she shouldn't be surprised. Everyone talked behind her back, even at home.
The girl had messy red hair that almost reached her shoulders. She had black rings around her light yellow emotionless eyes. She wore a black long sleeved shirt and had on a purple skirt. She had bandages around her neck that was not too tight to choke her. She had a blank expression on her face as her tail and ears did not move.
The three older girls just stared back at the girl they were talking about. "Wh-what are you looking at?!" One of the girls yelled when she had enough confidence.
"This is our sand box, you need to get out of it. We let you play in it long enough."
"Yeah, so maybe you should go to kaa-san before you get sand in your eyes."
The little girl's face remained emotionless. She just stared at the older girls as the sand behind them started moving and went towards them slowly. Some of the sand moved in front of two of the girl's faces as a whole bunch landed in the third's hair.
"Ahh! I got sand in my eyes!" The first girl rubbed her eyes.
"Pffft! Eww! How did it get in my mouth!" The second spat a couple times and even wiped her hand on her tongue.
"I just took a bath! Now I got to take another one! I don't like bathes!" The last girl tried to get the sand out of her hair, but couldn't.
The three girls ran off, leaving the one they were talking about behind. She just watched them run off to their parents, who were sitting at a bench, talking to each other. The girl shifted her light yellow eyes to the older kid's sand castle they were working on. She thought it was really good. She could never make one like that unless she used her sand. The castle was really interesting to her
She stood up and wiped the sand off her before walking to the sand castle. She sat back down, continuing to stare at it. She slowly lifted a hand to touch it, to see if it would tremble back to the ground or stay perfectly as it was. She was just an inch away when someone called to her.
"Gracia."
She drew back her hand and turned her head to see who called to her. There stood a man with red hair and black rings around his green eyes. He was leaning against a shaded tree and next to him was a large gourd.
"Come here." He said in a cold voice.
The girl just stared at him or a few seconds before doing what he said. She stood up once more and wiped the sand off her. She walked up to the man and smiled sweetly.
"Hai otou-san? Is something wrong?" She asked innocently.
The man didn't change his expression on his face. "You know what you did."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play around. I am serious."
In a second, the little girl's sweet smile turned into an evil smirk. "They deserved it."
"I don't care. We are guests here in Konoha. You should not be treating the villagers like that."
"Demo otou-san, if we are guests here, shouldn't they be nice to us? They were saying mean things about me."
"I know, but you need to ignore it. Do I make myself clear?"
The girl's smirk was long gone as she stared, almost glaring, at her otou-san "…Hai."
"You can't catch me! You can't catch me! You can't catch me!"
Gracia was about to turn to her left when something- more like someone-knocked her to the ground. She landed on her back with the person right on top of her.
The red headed man stared at the young boy that knocked over his daughter. Normally, he would get mad and scare the boy half to death. He didn't though since he saw who it was.
"Hisoka?" He asked.
Hisoka was rubbing his head when he heard his name being called. He looked up to see who it was. "Gaara-san?…Gaara-san!"
"Hisoka!" Gaara looked to see who it was and was slightly surprised.
"Naruto?"
Naruto eyes widened when he saw his old friend. "Gaara? What are you doing here?"
"I should ask you the same question."
"Well, you see-"
There was suddenly a large killing intent in the air. It didn't go everywhere in the park, but just around the tree. Gaara and Naruto looked down to see Hisoka still on top of a super mad Gracia.
"Gracia, stop that. Ask him to get off."
Hisoka looked down at the girl, his face was only about an inch from her face. They stared-more like Hisoka stared and Gracia glared at each other. Hisoka then grinned and said, "hi."
"Get off me. Now." She ordered him in a cold voice.
Hisoka stood up, rubbing the back of his head with his left hand while he offered his other to help her up. "Gomen na sai. I didn't see where I was going."
Gracia glared at him some more before standing up on her own. She walked over to her father and grabbed his pant leg. She then continued to glare at Hisoka.
Naruto couldn't believe it. This girl looked almost exactly like Gaara. This couldn't be his daughter, could it? Would Gaara have a child? His question was answered when he noticed something about her. Like Hisoka, she had animal like ears and tail.
"Oi Gaara-san! Who's she?" Hisoka asked as he went closer to get a better smell of her. She just glared at him more and held on to her father's pant leg tightly.
"She is my daughter Gracia. Tamaki's cousin."
Hisoka's face lit up more than ever. "That's you! Yay! Tamaki-nii-san told me a lot about you!" Hisoka went up to the girl and held out his hand. "I'm Hisoka! Nice to see you at last Gracia-chan!"
Gracia did not move as she looked at his hand. It was waiting for her to take it, but she didn't want to. Hisoka saw this and grabbed her hand instead. He then pulled her away.
"Come on! Lets go play together!"
Gracia face felt kind of weird when he touched her hand, but didn't know why. She felt her face with her other hand to find her cheeks warm. She didn't understand why it was warm. She was also surprised that he had not run away from her instead of dragging her along to play. That's what all the other kids did to her at home, so why wasn't he doing the same? She shook her head and snatched her hand back from Hisoka.
He looked back at her. "Is something wrong?" He asked.
"You have no right to touch me." She stated. She walked back to her otou-san. "I want to go."
"Why don't you want to stay? Don't you want to go play with him?" Gaara asked his daughter.
She shook her head. "I want to go back to Temari-oba-chan."
"Well I want to talk to my old friend. You go and play with his son."
Gracia stood there for a few seconds before looking back at Hisoka. He was grinning at her as he waited for her to come back.. She didn't know what to do. He didn't seem to be like the other kids in the park, he seemed to be okay to be with. She slowly began to walk over to him, but it was to slow for Hisoka. He ran to her and pulled her hand, forgetting that she had told him not to. Gracia didn't do nothing though and just let him lead her to the sandbox.
Naruto was still in a daze from when Gaara had actually said that the girl was his daughter. Was this what Shikamaru said when having Tamaki helped make up Gaara's mind? Was he thinking of having a child? Who was it was Naruto's biggest question most of all.
"It has been a long time Naruto." Gaara snapped the blonde man out of his thoughts. "What have you been up to for all these years?"
"Huh? Oh, it's kind of a long story."
"I have time to listen."
Naruto then explained what he had been up to for the last few years. He explained about beating Orochimaru and the Akatsuki.
"I had heard they were defeated. I should have known it was you." Gaara said
"Yeah, I guess you should've." Naruto laughed. "What about you? What have you been up to?"
"I have been doing the same old stuff except dealing with a few new things."
"Like Shikamaru getting Temari pregnant?"
"He is lucky I did not kill him for that." Gaara said in a cold voice. "But it is okay now, he hasn't done anything to make me angry."
"I'm sure he's to afraid to get you mad. Anyway, what about you? Who did you get pregnant?"
Gaara said nothing and just stared at Naruto. Should he talk about her? If he did, Gracia would most likely hear him with her ears. He looked over at Gracia as she watched Hisoka try to build a sand castle. He looked back at Naruto coldly. "That is none of your business."
A shiver went down Naruto's spine. He really did not like the way Gaara was looking at him. He did not want to ask why since Gaara would probably get angrier at him. But he really wanted to know, so he asked anyway. "How come? I just want a name and where she's from."
Gaara was no longer glaring at Naruto. He wondered if he should just tell him. It wouldn't be too bad if he did. "Her name was Yomiko. She used to live in the village hidden in the grass."
"Really? Were you guys going out or you just wanted a kid and looked for someone to have it with and found her?
"I thought you just wanted to know her name and her village."
"I have a lot of questions. It's been a while and I want to know what's going on."
"Fine, but I will ask you my own questions afterwards." Naruto nodded his head yes. "My father made an arranged marriage when I was about eleven years old. We got married when we were seventeen."
"Is she in Konoha? Can I meet her?"
"No……She is dead."
Naruto was slightly shocked. "Did she die during child birth like your kaa-san?"
Gaara shook his head. "She did suicide."
At the sandbox, Gracia's ears twitched and she looked over at her otou-san.
"Nani? Why the hell she do that?"
Gaara looked back at his daughter. She was just staring at him until Hisoka got her attention back to him. Gaara couldn't say the reason. If she heard him, it might make her have some…unpleasant memories.
"Get that thing away from me! It's a monster!" She yelled after giving birth to Gracia.
Gaara remembered that day. He thought she knew about the Ichibi no Shukaku. Gaara thought his father told her parents before making the engagement. He should have known his father would pull something like this.
"She was unhappy with something."
Naruto followed his friend's gaze and saw Gracia. She could probably hear them. Naruto started to feel bad for asking. Gaara was most likely to be uncomfortable answering his questions.
"Do…Do you miss her?" Naruto asked he thought would be his last question.
Gaara looked back at Naruto. "Iie. In fact, I hope she is rotting in the pits of hell."
Naruto's eyes widened. He was definitely not expecting that. "N-nani?"
"She never cared for Gracia so why should I care for her?"
"Is it because she's part-"
"Demon? Hai. That is exactly it."
"I see…" Something came to Naruto mind. Something th Kyuubi told him. He said that there were some demons that gave some chakra to the container's children before they are born. The Kyuubi said he meant to give some chakra to Hinata, but Naruto doubted that. Maybe the Shukaku made Gracia turn out like that? Naruto decided to ask. "So when you guys were…conceiving Gracia…Did the Shukaku try to give chakra to your wife or Gracia?"
"Gracia. Shukaku didn't give a shit about Yomiko. He tried to tell me not to get involved with her, but I ignored him."
"Okay, I was just wondering about it."
Gaara watched Naruto and his gaze went to Hisoka. "Now Naruto, it is time for me to ask the questions."
"Hmm? Okay, go ahead and ask."
"Naruto…Has Hisoka ever say anything about something like 'the bad people'?"
"Huh? I think so…" Naruto thought about it and realized Hisoka had once.
"Iie, the bad people will come and hurt me like last time," Hisoka buried his face into Kakashi's chest. Even though he was called the fearless kit by Naruto's friends, there was one thing that scared him no matter what.
"He did mention it the first day I got here. Why? Is something wrong?"
"Naruto. I need to warn you about them. And I'm going to tell you what they have done so listen carefully."
Naruto felt fear as he thought of something bad happening to Hisoka. He did not like the feeling at all. He wanted to go over to Hisoka and check if he was okay and would kill someone if he even found a scratch on his son. He went back to look at Gaara "What the hell happened?"
End of chapter
Lovelyanime: I think that's my best cliffhanger so far. Of course the readers might not like it, but they just have to deal with it. I got the idea for Gracia when I wanted Hisoka to be with someone and not have to be the only child of a container. There will be another person who is like Hisoka and Gracia, but he won't appear in a long time. I will mention him in the next chapter. I hope everyone liked Gracia. I couldn't think of another name for her and after watching FMA, I couldn't think of nothing but Gracia. So I named her after Maes Hughes's wife. I like Gracia because she's quiet, timid towards Hisoka, she's a lot like Gaara, and she's a very curious person. Like when she saw the sand castle and wondered why her cheeks felt hot, she will also be curious about other things in the future. I will talk more about Yomiko later on and what she did to make Gracia into a chibi Gaara. Okay, now all that is said, where is Hina-chan? I need to make sure she stays away from the next chapter, it might bring back some bad memories.
Sasuke: After nearly killing Kiba, she dragged Naruto off I think to his place. She was mumbling something about turning him back to being straight..
Chouji: Naruto is going to be one lucky bastard when Hinata is done with him.
Lovelyanime: ……He better not do anything perverted to her or else! But I guess I can let this one slide. He can keep her busy during the next chapter.
Sakura: Please review everyone. (sigh) I'm going to go heal Kiba before he dies from all the blood lost.
Lovelyanime: Oh! Will you tell him I hope he feels better and I love him? Even though he called me annoying, he's still on my Naruto hottest guys list.
Comments!
Lovelyanime: I'm only going to answer people's review when they have a question for now on. I said that in the chapter. I'm just reminding everyone incase they forgot.
Dragon Man 180: Well…I guess he was since he carried Kiba and Hisoka off. So it is his fault like it is Kiba's.
FullMEtalZ3: Because I didn't have one and didn't feel like going out and buying one.
