我愛羅99 (Gaara99)
Dear readers
I am delighted by your out-of-this-godforsaken-world-reviews. PacificAtlantic and Shifuni, you reaalllllly are nice and generous in reviews. I treasure my reviewers and I wish I could give you all something very nice. Since I don't know the actual people, here's a special chappie in the story for all you reviewers especially PacificAtlanticandShifuni
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN NARUTO 'CAUSE IF I DID THEN THE SENJU CLAN WOULD BE SHOWN AND ITACHI WOULD BE ALIVE. I ONLY OWN MY OC WHO DESERVES TO BE IN THE ANIME AND WOULD BE IF I DID OWN NARUTO UZUMAKI AND ALL THE OTHER SHINOBI.
BTW: DON'T YOU LIKE THE NEW OPENING BY 7 OOPS, THE SONG, LOVERS? I SERIOUSLY LOVE IT.
(D-Day, remember?)
"I look so…..so…so…. ridiculous." Sayaka snorted at the mirror.
"Sayaka-san, are you SERIOUS?" Ino cried.
"Yes, as serious as I can get. I mean if I'm supposed to be anything like a guy then I must be muscular not s-s-s-slender." Sayaka said, pronouncing the word slender as if it meant vermin.
"SAYAKA-SAN! I'd give anything to be like you, be grateful." Ino said with disbelief.
"Why the hell should be grateful? I mean what's so great in being a girl? You've to suffer and do what the guys tell you to do; you are always mistaken to be weak, you are always given 'special' treatment, you're always biased and told not to get involved. Face it, you're the only girls who are getting freedom. The others are all flea-bitten ninnies." Sayaka said, strongly opiniated.
"Why don't you become a feminist then? You could change all this then." Sakura asked her.
"It's wayyyy more fun hating girls."
Ino looked at Sayaka exasperatedly and then sighed and shook her head.
"Come on, we don't want to be late. Tsunade-sama instructed us to be there early."
"For once, I feel like breaking that instruction." Sayaka said matter-of-factly.
"Oh come on, stop being so troublesome, in Shikamaru's strange language. So many girls would die to be partners with the Kazekage, especially if the Kazekage's Gaara-san."Ino pointed out.
"Yeah, yeah stop the lecture all ready! It's killing me." Sayaka groaned.
"Okay, let's go."
(In the ball room)
"Here I am, outside the doors, all because of you." Sayaka glared at Ino accusingly.
"Go on, push the doors."Ino said, ignoring her.
"I'm not doing it, let Hinata-san do it."
"N-No, L-let Tenten-san do it."
"Don't you dare look at me, Sakura-san, you have the honours."
Sakura shook her head hopelessly and pushed them open and entered.
It was beautiful, the ballroom I mean. The carved walls painted gold shone and reflected the light of the chandeliers. The room was full of people. And by full…I mean full.
"How am I going to find anyone here?" Sayaka asked dismayed.
"Stop cribbing Sayaka!"
"Gomen"
Sayaka motioned to put her hands into her pocket, but since it was a kimono her hand slipped.
"Oh right, this thing has no pockets." Sayaka muttered.
"See, you should start wearing something different. You're so used to that same old faded t-shirt and shorts." Ino said, proving her point.
"Okay, fine, whatever. Can I go home now?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"I mean I showed my face, Isn't that enough."
"No, no one's seen you yet. Go and have a good time."
"I can't have a good time if people force me to have a good time."
"That's it, Sayaka! Go there now!"
"Hai, Ino-san."
Sayaka roamed around briefly, smiling at people whom she had absolutely no idea about.
"God, where the hell is Gaara-san."
Suddenly, Sayaka spotted a person, with spiky, crimson-colored hair, talking to someone.
"Thank god, finally" Sayaka thought, relieved.
Not that Sayaka was feeling shy or lonely. She was feeling relieved because she was getting bored going round and round in circles.
"Gaara-san I'm here."
Gaara who could recognize Sayaka's voice by now simply nodded and excused himself.
Then his eyes moved to Sayaka.
He was astonished at the transformation. She looked amazing. She was…..nothing like he'd ever seen before. Her beauty shone out in radiance. Gaara was transfixed.
"Ummm…Gaara-san. Is something wrong?" Sayaka said, a little uneasily.
"Hm….Oh nothing. Well, would you care to meet a few people."
"Like who?"
"Your twin's sensei maybe."
"Who's tha…Oh Hatake Kakashi? I'd be delighted to see this copy-cat ninja. In fact, I myself was thinking of meeting the famous Kakashi Sharingan Hatake."
"Is that so?" Came a voice from behind.
Sayaka turned back to see Kakashi looking at her with a lazy expression.
"Hai, I wanted to see who this ninja world was completely obsessed with. So you're Sasuke-nii san's sensei. Nice to meet you." Sayaka bowed slightly as a sign of respect.
"So you're supposed to be the super powerful Sayaka Uchiha. Interesting." Kakashi said nodding.
"And what, may I ask, is so interesting about me?"
"Your looks, you don't look tomboyish or strong, the two things Tsunade-sama described you to be."
"I know, it's the pits."
"Say, you are the Kakashi Hatake of team Minato, aren't you?"
"Indeed"
"Oh"
"Why?"
"Nothing."
However, it was too late as she had already aroused Kakashi's interest. Kakashi could see she was trying to conceal something.
"What is it?"
"Well…You're two team mates, Obito Uchiha and Rin, have been revived."
Kakashi was obviously astonished, but since his face was covered with that wretched mask, only his eyes
gave him away.
Both stood in silence, as Gaara had gone to see Tsunade.
Sayaka groaned, "Why do I have to give bad news to new people I meet."
Kakashi was amused, "Really? Well you haven't upset me that much. Anyway, the information you have given me is valuable. I shall report it Tsunade-sama."
"Then may I give you more bad news."
"*SIGH* Go on"
"Jiraiya-sensei's body has been recovered from the ocean…..or sea….or whatever"
"Isn't that good news?"
"It would be, if the so-called golden retriever_ A.K.A Labrador_ wasn't Kabuto Yakushi…..dog."
"And he's planning to revive Jiraiya-sama?"
"Hai"
Kakashi mentally groaned. So much for Happy New Year.
"Naruto's going to freak out." Kakashi sighed.
"Oh gomensai."
"It's okay, but I know he's not going to let Madara go now."
"He can't do that."
"Why?"
"Because I'm going to kill Madara."
"I see."
"Sorry, I shouldn't be talking about such sadistic thoughts on a happy occasion."
"Hm, well Sayaka-san, I should take my leave now. I must report what you have told me to Tsunade-sama."
Kakashi, no doubt, was quite taken by this young lady. Despite the troubling news she had given, he didn't feel worried, like he normally felt. She had an uncanny ability to stop depressing news seem depressing.
As Gaara had returned, after talking to various important people, Sayaka was forced put her arm through his due to warning glares given by Ino.
"So at what time are we going to depart tomorrow?" Sayaka asked, trying to ignore the disappointed stares given by guys and disappointed glares given by girls.
"At eleven o'clock in the morning." Gaara answered.
Just then, Tsunade approached Gaara and said she wanted to inform him of something. As he left Sayaka was left alone once again.
Sayaka roamed around dreamily. Not that she minded, she enjoyed observing people and sipping a cup of Sake.
"Are you lost?" A voice asked her from behind.
Sayaka turned around to see who it was.
A lady wearing a red kimono was standing there. Her brown hair was tied in a ponytail. She looked about three to four years older than Sayaka.
"No, I'm fine. Who are you?"
"My name is Hana. Hana Inuzuka. You're Itachi-san's imouto, aren't you?"
"Hai, It's a pleasure to meet you." Sayaka said politely. So this was the heiress of the Inuzuka Clan!
A man came up behind Hana and smiled at Sayaka.
"Hi, I'm your Aniki's new teammate, Masahiko."
The man had a mass of messy auburn hair. His eyes were roguish hazel in colour and he was wearing white robes like every other man that day. He was quite handsome in a wild and flashy way.
"Oh, so you both are his teammates. Well I hope he gets along."
"Oh he will, although he will miss…..Hitoshi." Hana said
Sayaka noticed Hana's eyes saddening but the next moment it brightened up again.
"Itachi-san told me you've a lioness. So are you affiliated to just lions or something or what?"
"Not really, I'm affiliated to all members of the cat family but lions are a favourite." Sayaka shrugged and grinned. She liked this Inuzuka. Even Kiba was nice. Quite nice. She had quite a lot of friends. I mean, just a few weeks ago she was a poor little saddo who no one liked. Literally. But now she had more companions then she could've even dared dreaming about.
"So, who was this Hitoshi?" Sayaka asked, feelingly.
"He is of the Daisuke Clan. The clan which battles purely with hawks. He was…no forget it."
"He was…..what? Come on it's okay, you can tell me. If you're worried about me telling Itachi anything….well then, I'm going to Sunagakure tomorrow for a month and when I come back I give you permission to follow me and see if I'm revealing anything." Sayaka said.
"Well, Hitoshi-kun….he was executed for high treason against the Daimyo and Hokage. You see he and I were the only ones who were not involved in the Uchiha clan assassination and knew why Itachi-san massacred his own clan. The Sandaime Hokage-sama wasn't aware that Itachi-san was forced to kill his own clan. Hokage-sama thought he did it intentionally. When Itachi-san deflected, Danzo-san, in order to gain trust, sold out Hitoshi-kun however didn't reveal my involvement. Hitoshi-kun was then interrogated but refused to say a word so they executed him….. Itachi did care a lot about Hitoshi-kun though." Hana bit her lip and said no more.
"I understand, it's okay, I won't tell Itachi-nii san if you don't want me to say anything."
"Arigato."
Masahiko, who had fortunately gone to take some Sake, came back. Masahiko was not aware of the reason why and how his brother was killed. Hana had made a vague excuse to satisfy him.
"Well Sayaka-san, I must go now. Please remember your promise."
And that was the last she saw of Hana that night.
The rest of the evening was uneventful. The people were permitted to leave whenever they wanted to so most of the Konoha 14 (including Sayaka, Sasuke and Sai in my story) had left.
(At the mountain top)
"Well this is it, my last day in the place I've stayed some weeks." Sayaka said, rolling her eyes.
"Gomensai again, but it's only for the month."
"*SIGH*I know."
"Do you like reading?"
"Why?" Sayaka asked suspiciously.
"Just answer the question."
"No I don't like reading at all….I'm merely obsessed with it."
"Really?" Gaara couldn't conceal his surprise.
"Yeah, anything but the Icha Icha series. Gross" Sayaka shuddered.
"I see, well, Suna has an excellent library, if you would care to browse through it you may…."
Gaara saw a twinkle in Sayaka's eye as the girl's spirit rose as fast as it had fallen.
"Really, I'm allowed there. I had study about it in the Akatsuki and I heard it's reallllly good. But can't I do a proper job which involves some kunai-throwing. No wait, make that jutsu, I suck at attacking with kunai and defending against kunai."
"Well, I could get you a job in the ninja academy."
"Suuuuure, I'm great with kids. Do you know that, in my six years in the Akatsuki, I have never touched a single, little, kid."
"Well, that's good then. I hope you don't…..mind."
"Nah, its'kay."
"Well, I hope you enjoy your stay then."
"I hope so too. Suddenly, things don't seem so bad. And…damn it! This stupid tight bun is killing me."
Sayaka took the clip, which was holding her hair together, and shook her hair free. Her long silky hair fell to her sides, some of the locks resting against her radiant, tranquil, face. She looked….ravishing.
"I must take my leave now. In fact, shouldn't you be coming too? You must wake up early to get some registrations done." Gaara said.
"Hai, 'kay then." Sayaka jumped up and was about to walk back when she slipped on a rock, which she hadn't noticed, and was about to fall forward when she felt Gaara's arm supporting her.
"You OK?"
"H-Hai." She said, not daring to look in his eyes. Too risky.
However, inch by inch, centimetre by centimetre, her eyes moved to meet Gaara's warm turquoise ones.
Sayaka felt something quicken in her heart. An unknown feeling which had never ventured into her body and soul.
Slowly, both brought their lips closer together. Sayaka could feel his hot breath running down her face on to her neck.
Then their lips touched.
Something, something made Gaara pull her closer and Sayaka not pull away. Something made Gaara wrap his arms around her waist. Something made Sayaka feel very vulnerable. Something made Gaara run his fingers through her long, silky, black hair, one arm still around her slim waist. Something made electricity pierce through Sayaka when she felt his gentle touch. Something made both of them feel…..good
"I think I love him."
I SUUUUUUUUCK at kiss scenes. I swear, if this turns out horrible grammatically then blame it on the fact that I finished at 00:04 in the morning which is +GMT 5:30 in India, so calculate accordingly guys!
LONG LIVE JAPAN! DATTEBAYO!
