just another mission-
Gaara walked through the city limits bright and early the next morning and looked over his shoulder at his team. Temari and Kankuro walked quietly behind him. When Gaara had gotten the letter from Tsunade several days ago about Uzu's marriage to Kakashi he hadn't thought that he would be leaving his village just to check up on her, bu after receiving word from Tsunade about what had happened with the council and the Uchiha, he had held a meeting to tell his council that he was leaving the village for the next few weeks to a month to take care of something.
They had been reluctant to let him leave until Gaara had mentioned Uzu's name after which they had all but packed his things for him and walked him to the gate. Everyone in the sand village was currently waiting for news about their favorite blond, to know if she was okay, and several groups of his personal Anbu had already asked for permission to join him so that they could help the girl out. Many of them had seen the bond he shared with his adopted sister, and wished to help their village hero any way that they could.
"Do you think that Naruto will be happy to see us?" Kankuro asked as he fidgeted with his shirt. He wanted to look presentable for his brother's best friend/adopted sibling. Temari smirked at him, neither of her brothers had never acted so nervous to see someone like they did when they were going to meet up with Naruto. It would be cute if the kid wasn't a guy, but whatever. So both of her brothers had homosexual tendencies.
There was nothing wrong with that. Naruto was a sexy, adorable little guy even she would'nt mind getting with him. "When has Naruto never been happy to see us?" Temari asked with a grin. Kankuro looked at her and blushed. She had a point. Naruto was the type of person who would drop everything, no matter how important it was, and greet them in his usual manner. Tackling them to the ground and giving them all the hugs and kisses that they could stand.
Gaara, who had never had much human affection growing up, loved the attention and ate it right up. Kankuro did the same only because he genuinly liked the blond. Temari would just smile and hug the blond back until he accused her of being a fan girl and would have to be rescued from her wrath by Gaara and Kankuro. Gaara glance at them and wondered if he should tell them about Naruto being a girl. But shrugged his concerns off when he realised that the two would simply adore her regardless of her gender.
Especially Kankuro who had a stronger conection to the girl than even Gaara was aware of. He thought of Naruto as a much cuter, slightly shorter verson of Gaara and developed a particularly strong protective streak towards the blond that amused both Gaara and Temari to no end. They even kept track of thenumber of incidents he got involved in.
The last incident that they knew of was after Gaara had been returned to the village by the blond, and he had been out walking around the village with some of the genin and two of the Anbu when he had been jumped by some randy drunks wanting to use him for a quick tumble. The kids and one of the Anbu had defended him to the best of their abilities without causing to much harm to the men, but the guys had still gotten their hands on Naruto. Kankuro had managed to save the boy from the guys and after that ad develped the habit of following the younger boy around and warning people off when ever they tried to get oo close to his new little brother.
He was going to lose his mind when he found out that Naruto was a girl. To be perfctly honest, Gaara was already looking forward to seeing the looks on their faces, which was why he picked up his pace a bit. He suddenly wanted to reach the hotel in a hurry.
