Chapter Twenty-Nine
Gaara POV
The watched the sun rise early in the morning waiting for Tatsuki where ever she may have been all night, sitting on the roof was very peaceful and most important quiet, with the wind breezing by. I watched everything unfold from venders to ninja's working on their morning routine setting up for the day.
"So I take it that Tatsuki didn't come home last night" Temari walked onto the roof quiet like the wind not making any sound
"Yes, we'll see her at the gates to see off the leaf ninja's" off in the distances the leaf ninja's we're making their way over to the gates but two we're walking over to the house
"Well we better meet up with them than" Temari jumped off the roof with me right behind her to meet the two ninja's that were headed this way, Kakashi and Sakura we're the ones to meet us have way with their bags on, Sakura holding an extra bag.
"Morning Kazekage, morning Temari, by any chance did Naruto sleep over at your house he didn't return last night and the knucklehead left his mess for me to pack" Sakura held up the bag
"No, he didn't stay over with us" Temari rubbed the back of her neck
"That's weird, he might be at the gates then, so shall you go"
"Hm, this is odd Naruto didn't go back to the hotel and Tatsuki didn't return home as well, something smells fishy here"
'I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABY' Tatsuki's voice yelled through my head, causing me to rub my forehead
"Let us go to the entrance" my body felt like a rock turning and walking away, Temari and Sakura talked the rest of the way while Kakashi was reading his green book
"I take it that you didn't find Naruto" Neji looked at each of us not spotting the missing ninja with our group, so Naruto wasn't here as well, Tatsuki was still missing too, the pair are messing together
'I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABY'
"Temari I want you to search the inn's for Tatsuki and Naruto... Kankuro" Kankuro kicked off the wall since we was on night patrol here at the east gate, "Search the Training grounds when your done look for Tatsuki's students so they can help you search the village they should know her better by now"
"Why is Temari looking for them at the inn's shouldn't she be search the village" Kankuro questioned
'I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABY'
"Just making sure, Kakashi and the rest of you search the village your a bigger number so it shouldn't take very long"
"Right" everyone turned back into the village to do what I said
०҆'˚'҅०౦ംഠ०Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ०ഠം౦०҆'˚'҅०ം
It was noon time and no one had found any trace of Naruto and Tatsuki
"I checked all the Inn's in the village there is no sign that they signed in" Temari jumped down next to me, I stood on the roof of the Kazekage tower looking out at the village with my three eye trying to find anything that is orange or purple in the mix of people. "I'm going to check the gates to see if they had left it might be highly unlikely but safe than sorry"
'I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABY' I grabbed my head trying not to think of what they are doing together
"HEY GAARA" Temari was ready to leave when Kankuro jumped onto the roof, "There's no sign of them at the training grounds" Sakura and the rest of the leaf ninja's joined us on the roof, "I went to each of her students house and none of their parents know where their kids are they just assumed that they left on a late mission since they didn't come home"
"So Naruto, Tatsuki, and her students are all gone" Sakura put her hand to her chin in thought
"I'll check the village gates now" Temari took off
"I'll come with, to check the area" Shikamaru took off after Temari
"Is there anything that Tatsuki did or said that would lead to her vanishing with Naruto" Kakashi said over his shoulder looking out at the village to find his missing student
"No just the usual nonsense that Tatsuki yells out" Kankuro swatted at the air in front of him
"She said she wants to have his baby" I growled out my worry, still looking out at the village I could feel all eyes on me
"Um you don't think that Tatsuki would really do something like that...could she" Sakura looked around to see if everyone was thinking the same thing
"I do not think that Tatsuki would do such a thing" Lee held up his fist, "After all she is still full of youth"
"Yeah I don't know anything about that, but they do spend a lot of time together, every time I see Naruto he's always with Tatsuki" Tenten sighed out before putting down Lee's hand since it was still up
"We're all jumping to conclusions over a small outburst that Tatsuki made, we need to stay focus on finding Naruto, Tatsuki and her students, lets not forget that they are missing too" Neji put everyone's wild thinking to a rest, that too did make me feel a bit better but still it couldn't get me away from the edge
०҆'˚'҅०౦ംഠ०Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ०ഠം౦०҆'˚'҅०ം
"Yes I'm sure Gaara, everything doesn't make since, the guards that were on patrol last night didn't see anyone leave but they did see three fresh traces and they reported it to your office when it was discovered about an hour after Tatsuki left the house, but these fresh footprints don't belong to Tatsuki or Naruto" We stood at the North gates it was a few hours passed noon when Temari finally came back with news, now the sun was starting to go down "Shikamaru did find Tatsuki's tracks in the sand but we're still looking more into it"
"Naruto's prints are mixed with Tatsuki's but they vanished from there and the third print I have no idea who they belong too" Shikamaru joined us
"Third" I ripped my eyes away from the open desert towards Shikamaru
"Yeah from the distance that Tatsuki and Naruto stood next to each other and the third they were standing close to the wall, from the look of it they had been stand there late in the night seeing as how big these walls are this is the only spot that is darkest but they don't lead out of the village their just huddled against the wall"
"If they didn't leave the village than why are Tatsuki's students running out of the village if she and Naruto and our unknown ninja never left"
"I don't know it's a mystery to me" Shikamaru sigh rubbing the back of his neck, "This is troublesome, but if I had to take a guess, this unknown ninja knew how to get in and out of the village without anyone noticing, Tatsuki's students must have seen her leaving and ran after her, this ninja had to be someone they knew and trusted since there seems to be no sign of a struggle or a fight in Naruto's case"
"Is it one of Tatsuki's brothers-" Temari dismissed my question
"No I seen all four of them earlier in the day, I didn't ask them if they seen her because they might get out of hand freaking out over the matter and cause bigger problems for us"
"We have no other choice than to follow the trail that Tatsuki's student left us in the sand"
"Right I'll go on ahead since I have all my things with me" Kankuro pulled on the straps that held his puppet scrolls, with a nod from me Kankuro ran out of the village to look while Temari and I go to get our things together.
"We'll come too, since Naruto seems to be Tatsuki, when we find them we'll head back to the village from there"
"That is fine" Temari gave a nod and took off to get her things I had to go to the office to notify the council that I was leaving on a search mission for the other missing Kazekage.
०҆'˚'҅०౦ംഠ०Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ०ഠം౦०҆'˚'҅०ം
The short meeting with the council was frustrating but at the end they had to yield to my request, just like Tatsuki said they have gotten use to throwing their weight around like their the one's putting their life on the line everyday. leaving the meeting room and a quick turn to my office to gather my things, I nodded to the man that was my secretary, pushing the office door open, I stopped when I spotted someone standing in the middle of the room
"Lady Kijima is there anything that you need, I'm sorry but I'm in a rush" Hanako brushed a stray light red hair behind her ear
"Than I'll make this quick...I couldn't speak to you privately for a long time with everyone was always around...but..." Hanako took a deep breath, "I know that your in love with her, I had seen it in your eyes, face, and when you talk to her. I know I might not be her but in time you well grow to love me" Hanako stepped closer, out of reflex I stepped away
"I'm sor-" I quickly said not to hurt her feelings but she cut me off
"I just hope your ready when she leaves, your a very strong man and everyone looks up to you, I just wanted to let you know that I'll be there to help you overcome the loss"
"Han-...Lady Kijima, I know very well that Tatsuki is going to be leaving" I looked to the ground, "I had come to terms with that fact"
"Good than I'll be waiting for you as long as it takes till your ready, I'll see you at the house" Hanako did a quick bow before leaving and closing the door behind her, yes Tatsuki was leaving real soon the deadline for her to depart was coming close, how many times is this village, no how many times am I going to lose Tatsuki. Looking to the forgotten hand painting on the wall reminded me of all the times we spent in this office together, all the happy memories of her just being her, not once has he ever called me a monster, not once has she ignored me for having the Shukaku, yes she has ran but every time she ran she would be laughing, she wasn't like the others she was one of a kind, she was Kurosaki Tatsuki
"Your going to be waiting for a long time" I spoke to no one but I was determined to find a way to insure that Tatsuki doesn't leave the village, I walked toward my scroll that contained my gourd, strapping it to my back before transporting to the north gate.
"What took you Gaara we been waiting" Temari adjusted her fan before everyone took off without a word into the open desert
०҆'˚'҅०౦ംഠ०Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ०ഠം౦०҆'˚'҅०ം
"Is it just me or did her students just get lost out here" Kankuro sat down in the sand, we found him going left to right all over the desert following the tracks, the sun was long gone and replaced by the moon the anger that everyone had earlier today was now turned into worry, since our only lead clearly showed that they we're lost out here in the desert.
"We should rest for the night and pick it back up in the morning" the village was at least two to three hours away and no one was planning to head back.
"I'll keep watch" everyone nodded before finding a nice spot to lay
Tatsuki's POV
"WHY AREN'T YOU GUYS DOING ANYTHING TO HELP ME" I cried out to everyone, Shukaku was pulling my hair
"We have faith in you that you can get out of it" Shiro waved his chopstick over his shoulder, everyone was eating happily by the fire, me I didn't get to eat because Shukaku pulled my food away and started eating it in front of me the little bastard.
Back at the house No One's POV
"Have any of you seen Kankuro, Tatsuki, Temari, and Gaara today" Asuka was walking down the stairs it was getting really late and no one was back from whatever they do all day, "And what's even more important what's for dinner, we didn't even have lunch today" Asuka sat next to her brother
"I seen Gaara this evening in his office, no one else after that" Hanako put her book down looking toward the clock it was now 11:57 pm
"My dear little sister why are you so concern about them, when we're all in the same room together it's like they don't even want us there" Daiki was getting bored of his book but there wasn't that much books to began with, "But I do want my question answered thou, why am I here, Kankuro doesn't look like the kind of person who's interested in men, am not even interested in men"
"Please father seen you with a hand full, when they asked for a male and female for Kankuro... naturally father picked you to come with me"
"They we're my friends, I would never do anything like that"
"We should not be speaking bad about the one's we are too marry it's very dishonorable" Alaude stood up from his seat, "It does seem we're not going to be seeing any of them for the rest of the night" with that Alaude walked up the stair.
Close to noon
Gaara's POV
"Gaara slow down we can barely see the tracks, it only takes one mistake and we lose the trail" Temari yelled, even if the tracks were barely visible I was not going to slow down, it looked like they found their way because three faded tracks finally appeared adding to the six, more than a days travel from the village.
"Hold on" Neji yelled coming to a stop causing everyone to follow suit, "I think our search has finally came to an end, I've found them, their 15 miles ahead of us heading back to the village, one of them is injured"
"Let us hope that it's Tatsuki so she can't run from us, when I get my hands on the little runaway" Temari hissed
"We will hear Tatsuki out before she gets her punishment for leaving the village" I looked to everyone, "Don't move, I'm going to transport us to them"
Normal POV
"Hey is it just me or do any of you have a really bad feeling" I looked over my shoulder, my students looked really tired
"Tatsuki your over thinking everything again" Shiro dismissed me fast
"YEAH SO SHUT UP I WAS SLEEPING" while I was still looking back Shukaku thought it was a good time to slap me
"NARUTO SHUKAKU IS HITTING ME AGAIN" I held my face crying like the biggest baby on earth
"AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN MEAT SACK"
"YOU MEANIE, NARUTO-"
"WOULD YOU TWO PLEASE JUST FOR ONCE BE QUIET YOU BEEN YELLING SINCE WE STARTED HEADING BACK" Shiro's cat ears were laying flat against his head and his tail was sticking up, if your quiet enough you can hear his kitty hiss
"NOT TILL THIS BUBBLING FOOL TA-" Shiro held up his hand cutting off Shukaku, on our little trip Shiro finally got over his fear of the sand demon and now yells at him and me like we're some kind of spoiled children wanting the same toy
"What is it Shiro, what can you hear" this is something you never say in horror movies because when someone says it there the first to die or was it 'do you think he's still behind us', well that aside... This big sand twister formed out of the blue in front of us, Shukaku took cover inside Shiro's bag which was on my back, the sand disappearing just as fast, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I screamed bloody murder crushing Naruto's neck into a head lock, there, no right there standing was the one person that I didn't want to face at all in the middle of the flipping desert, Gaara looked at each of us before zeroing in on me and Naruto.
"TATSUKI YOU BETTER START TALKING FAST" Temari pointed at me
"Can't...breath...Tat...suki" Naruto wheeze out before falling down bring me with him and making Shukaku barrel roll out of the bag in front of Gaara's feet. Everything in the desert stopped even the wind stopped for this very dramatic scene, I looked up to everyone and they we're all looking at Shukaku, the first movement was Kankuro who was pointing at Shukaku
"WHAT IS SHUKAKU DOING HERE, WHY DO YOU HAVE SHUKAKU TATSUKI!" Temari took a few steps back, Gaara and Shukaku were having a little staring contest
"Okay you all can kill me later" I rolled off of Naruto's back crawling to Shukaku and hugging him to my head, "But I just couldn't leave little Shukaku in the hands of the enemy" Gaara finally stopped looking at Shukaku to me
"Why are you crawling Tatsuki"
"IT'S BECAUSE I'M PARALYZED, OH GOSH I CAN'T WALK ANYMORE, MY LEGS DON'T EVEN WORK MY LIFE AS A NINJA IS OVER" I cried into the sand making myself a mud mask
"NO YOU CAN'T BE PARALYZED TATSUKI, WHEN I BECOME HOKAGE I'LL, NO WE WILL FIND A WAY TO MAKE YOU NEW LEGS SO YOU CAN WALK AGAIN" Naruto picked me up hugging me to him
"Naruto you shouldn't make promises you can't keep" I cried into his shoulder, just then something hit me and Naruto in the head
"Knock it off the both of you, just tell us why you have Shukaku and how in the hell did you get him back, we want answers now this is serious Tatsuki, you just put everyone in danger, what if the Akatsuki attack the village again to get 'it' back"
Akihito POV
Kurosaki sensei started to tell them how it all happened from the beginning I just couldn't help but remember what happened inside the cave
Flashback
"Hiko are you okay" the blast Shiro sensei made almost made us lose our concentration on the barrier
"Don't worry Hito just keep focusing okay" I nodded to him before looking a bit over his shoulder to Kurosaki sensei she was attached to the statue like a fly on the wall, it almost looked like she was sleeping. "How's sensei doing" Hiko couldn't look over his shoulder
"I don't know she's just touching the statue" another blast went off causing rocks to slam into the barrier, it was like we we're hit with those rocks when a sharp pain pinched against our shoulders it was the price to pay for holding our barrier till we can work more on it, a bright light erupted from Kurosaki sensei, my concentration vanished and the barrier was only being held with Hiko
"WHAT'S HAPPENING HITO...TALK TO ME" my eyes widen Kurosaki sensei's skin turned a light gray with black marking crawling over her body, horns started to grow out of her head and her hair was turning black, what really caused me to lose focus was the black wings that shot out of her back, the feathers started to fall off but only half of them the other half stayed in place, "HITO WHAT'S HAPPENING" I looked to Hiko trying to get ahold of myself
"Sh-sh-she chan-changed...Hiko Kurosaki sensei changed"
"What" Hiko tried to look over his shoulder but not a this angle, another blast went off and the barrier fell, "Shit, Hito quick" with that we both focused again, the barrier went up quick but not quick enough when a huge rock fell missing Kurosaki sensei by a few inches, I looked back at our sensei, the bright light in her hand started to fade away slowly, the eye lid started to open showing it's pupil for all to see
"I think she did it Hiko, Kurosaki sensei did it" her form disturbed me but her mission to get Shukaku was not going to fail at this rate
"Good because with everything that is happening I don't think we can hold up the barrier for long" another blast went off and Naruto slammed into the barrier, he didn't seem like he was hurt, he just got up and jumped back into the battle, I can see why Lord Kazekage thinks very highly of him, this Naruto was a very strong ninja, another blast of bright light broke me and Hiko concentration, the barrier fell and the light was so bright we had to cover our eyes, the noise from the battle didn't stop they didn't seem to realize it was even shining, the light vanished causing me to look up just in time to see Shukaku in Lord Gaara's form holding onto Kurosaki sensei before bursting into sand everywhere, the sand picked us up in a flash, plus causing the battle to come to an end
End of flashback
"I AM THE GREATEST, I AM THE AWESOME OF ALL AWESOMENESS, I AM-" Kurosaki sensei was doing one of her rants again when Kankuro sensei cut her off
"An idiot" but she wasn't even fazed at all, she just pointed at him with that smile still on her face
"THAT TOO...oh come on you guys just for once just let this slide and let me do this, the Akatsuki wouldn't dare to attack the sand, it only took two of us to hold them back and now that we have Shukaku on our side he can fight with us, the Akatsuki wouldn't even think about attacking"
"What makes you think that I would want to fight next to you, I just want to see you die in the most painful way" the way Shukaku said that made a creepy tingle go up my back I don't think I'm going to have a sensei tomorrow
"As long as you die with me, it can be like some kind of star crossed lover thing" Kurosaki landed on top of Shukaku hugging him to her, than again she has always been weird in the first place, I always admired how she never fears anything, almost like she knows what's going to happen.
"GET OFF ME MEAT SACK"
"NOT TILL I GET A KISS FROM YOU" Shukaku started to push on her face to get her off
Tatsuki's POV
"So what do you think, can I keep Shukaku" I looked to everyone and they looked at me like I was the biggest moron on this earth for even asking that kind of question
"Tatsuki Shukaku isn't some kind of animal you just bring home, he is a tail beast that could kill you anytime it wants" Temari put her hand on her hips
"If he wanted me dead he could have done it already and not announce it to the world that he wants to kill me"
"IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE THIS STUPID SEAL ON ME"
"See he's harmless, almost like a big sandy cat...that can talk and shout death threats"
"Tatsuki" I looked to Gaara who finally said something after finding out that Shukaku was free and with us, "Does this even bother you that every sentence he says all points to killing you or watching you die"
"Do I really have to think about it...no not even in the slightest, you did the same to me and look what happened to us we're the best of the bestest friends this world has to offer" I saw the flinch Gaara displayed but didn't bother with it, "Sorry about that didn't mean to bring that up but we still had fun moments when you hated me to the core, Me and Shukaku are at that stage right now, next thing you'll notice we're going to be the bestest of friends too" I hugged myself smiling down at Shukaku
"You will not go near me human"
"See, what did I tell you" I looked back to everyone
"This is really troublesome, since this is your village issue we'll be leaving now, the Hokage is not going to be happy that we're going be coming back late, now that we finally found our missing comrade" Now all eyes turned to Naruto who was pointing to himself
"Who me" yeah he's very smart
"OF COURSE YOU, YOU IDIOT" Sakura started to pull on his ear dragging him in the direction of the leaf village
"NO, NO NARUTO" I held up my hand towards Naruto and he did the same to me
"TATSUKI"
"NARUTO"
"TATSUKI"
"NARUTO"
"TATSUKI"
"NAR-" Shukaku jumped on the back of my head slamming it into the sand
"WOULD YOU SHUT THE HELL UP YOUR GIVING ME A HEADACHE"
"TAT-" I looked up just in time for Sakura to shove something into Naruto's mouth
"So shall you be on our way to the sand-" I looked back to Gaara and his siblings but he was glaring at me, "Soo...do you want to talk about it"
"When we get back to the village Shukaku will be sealed away" I jumped up on very shaky legs but they didn't hold causing me to come crashing down
"Gaara, you better be thinking very hard on it because there is no way in all of these nations that I am just going to allow you to just seal Shukaku away without a fight" I grabbed Shukaku holding him to my chest
"There well be no need for a fight, what's done is done" Gaara turned on his heel making this final
"Than I guess you have a problem, because I will fight to make sure that nothing happens to Shukaku, he has been through so much already, I am not just going to stand by and let your village just take him and seal him away, this is the first time in a very long time that he has been free. you can't just make decision all on your own and think that I'm just going to go along with it"
"IT'S OUR VILLAGE TATSUKI, you should not be talking as if I am the bad guy here, you ran off and decided to bring back Shukaku all on your own, you did not ask me or anyone in the village what we thought, it goes both ways Tatsuki, we are Kazekage's of the sand, you think of the villagers first not yourself or a tail beast" ouch
"Everyone may think of me as the stupidest person in the world for doing what I did but you said I don't think of the villagers, your wrong, Shukaku is part of the sand village and I did my part to protect a comrade of the village"
"No, no, no a tail beast that wants everyone dead including yourself is no comrade of the sand village, you have ears don't you, Shukaku just said he wants to see you die, and your still willing to protect him"
"You were the same, you wanted everyone dead, you wanted to watch me die, so tell me what is the differences again...tail beast or not everyone is the same to me, I will walk to hell and back to protect everyone, it's just sad that you can't except Shukaku"
"I know Shukaku very well... incase you have forgotten, Tatsuki"
"No I have not forgotten, the day we became friends was the day he became my friend also, I will take any punishment the village has to offer just to make sure he never gets sealed away again" through this whole thing no one has said a word they just watched us argue back and forth not wanting to be apart of it, not even Shukaku as well, he was just looking at the ground
"Let's head back to the village" Gaara turned around not looking back, Shiro walked over picking me up Shukaku used sand to help himself back into the bag
०҆'˚'҅०౦ംഠ०Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ०ഠം౦०҆'˚'҅०ം
The sun was rising when we finally arrived back to the village not even stopping for the night just straight up walking all the way back, Shukaku didn't even pull my hair he was unusually quiet after me and Gaara's spitting contest, on second thought no one said a word we just walked back like ants following the leader.
"Welcome back lord and lady Kazekage" the guards stood up straight, Gaara didn't bother saying a word and just walked back into the village, but I waved like a goofball not saying a word, Gaara made his way to the tower and all of us following along till he got to his door when he finally got there he turned to his secretary
"Call the councils members to my office immediately" the man nodded before vanishing, Gaara slammed his door opened, there was no one here, which was weird I had gotten used to seeing those guys here, I forgot their names, Shiro put me down on a chair and stepped back so he was right behind me and my students stood next to me far from Gaara since he was still royally pissed off, not to long now that all the councils came walking in without knock, rude don't you think
"What is the meaning of this lord Kazekage" I hated these people they through their weight around far to much for my liking I should make them go out in the field and errand some nice looking scars, now that I think about it, I looked at my arms and legs they didn't have any scars on them, I looked completely flawless this world works wonders
"WHAT" did I miss something, I looked up and everyone was looking at me
"Lady Kazekage show us the tail beast now" oh my they just dropped the bomb, my students saw or felt the shift and moved away from me
"EXCUSE ME, DID YOU JUST GIVE ME AN ORDER YOU NO GOOD PIECE OF SH-"
"TATSUKI" Temari cut me off, I didn't like being ordered around by them
"Fine" I sat up straighter "Now dancing monkey's rephrase in a much nicer way or your going to be facing a very pissed off Tatsuki" yeah I'm still not a happy camper, the walk back didn't even drop my temper
"Tatsuki please show us Shukaku" that was more like it, Baki never failed, Shukaku didn't have to wait for me to ask he just popped his head out of the bag, the council member let out a dramatic gasp causing me to roll my eyes for crying out loud they we're told that I had Shukaku, then everything went crashing down, they started to yell around saying they have to seal him away, this was not good for my head since I was already starting to have a headache, in a swift movement I had my scythe out pointing it at them and standing up, my legs were shaking but for once they helped me stand my ground.
"NO ONE and I repeat, NO ONE, is going to seal Shukaku away, did any of you help me get back Shukaku" I looked to each and everyone one of them, "Did any of you help keep the Akatsuki off me to get him, did any of you use any of your chakra in this battle to get him back, NO, so I want each of you to shut your flipping mouths, no one is touching Shukaku, I well leave this village if I have too, just to make sure Shukaku never gets sealed away again, this is not your decision to make, it's Shukaku's decision he's the one that has to live in a cookie jar or in someone's belly button...no one even talks to him and asks what he wants you just automatically make the decision for him, IT. STOPS. HERE. AND. RIGHT. THE. FLIPPING. NOW. I will not hear another word of this till he makes it for himself, am I completely clear or do I have to make it crystal clear" I took a deep breath and looked at my right hand it was on fire, my scythe didn't even have any burn marks on it
"Well said airhead" that put a smile on my face, I sat back down with Shukaku on my shoulder, I think we both made a step forward in our little love and hate friendship
"Tatsuki, I don't think you understand the danger your are putting on the village" Baki tried to reason with me since I would get mad if it was any of the others that would try and talk at the moment
"I am not a child Baki, I know the dangers here, hell I was one room away from Gaara when he had the Shukaku and I'm still kicking dirt, I was in the desert with Shukaku a few hours ago and I'm still standing here, well standing-ish, nothing is going to happen, all of you are judging him, did any of you ever talk to him, am I the only one that has taken that step to just risk it all" I looked at each of them, they we're pissed but so what, I'm not going to crawl under a rock and let them do what they want, I was raised to put my foot down if I knew it wasn't the right thing to do.
"Tatsuki, we need to seal him away what if that seal you placed on him doesn't work anymore" Temari stepped forward
"It won't wear off, both seals are linked to me, if I die the seals will vanish...huh now that I think about it, this was a decision that I didn't ask" I looked to Shukaku, "Sorry about everything I said it's kind of makes me into a hypocrite yelling about asking you when I didn't and just placed it on you, well you get your wish I'll take them off" a look of pure horror crossed everyone's face when I moved my left hand to take them off, but Shukaku's hand shot up stopping me from removing it
"Stupid meat sack" Shukaku looked away, "I like it" I couldn't help the biggest smile that was on my face when I grabbed him and pulled him into a hug
"Oh your so cute, I think we just took two steps into our relationship right there...star crossed lovers I tell you"
"GET OFF ME, I WILL MURDER YOU IN YOUR SLEEP AIRHEAD" Shukaku was pushing on my face
"Only if it's you doing it"
"Oh you guys are back" everyone stopped looking at me and looked at the five people that walked through the door, it was them
"Who the hell are the weaklings" Shukaku stopped trying to get me off and looked at them, that was the whole day right there talking this whole thing over with everyone about Shukaku, but for me I was having my hugging moments
Night time
"WOULD YOU STOP HUGGING ME, I SMELL LIKE YOU, GET OFF DAMNIT" Shiro helped me to my room
"Well Tatsuki you gotten yourself in a lot of trouble here" Shiro rubbed his face
"Yeah it's nothing I can't handle, I'm used to being hated by everyone anyways" I was rubbing my face against Shukaku's face
"I bet, so what are you going to do now, the councils are going to have ninja's watch you every day for the rest of your life just so they can find something to seal him away" Shiro sat by me on the bed
"Let those perverts watch their not going to find anything, because Shukaku is a cute little sized cat with a squeak of a voice"
"I wonder if sand demons can die by hanging" Shukaku looked at my closet, talk about emo
"Will I'll be going now, I need to catch up on a lot of things because I was aways from the village" Shiro rubbed my head and patting Shukaku's head before leaving
"Okay Shukaku your going to sleep by me-"
"No chance in hell...am I going to sleep right next to you, I know how you sleep"
"How in the hell do you know how I sleep" I looked at the little demon grabbing my pillow and dragging it to the floor across the room close to the closet
"My use to be host liked to watch you sleep and fall out of bed"
"Now that is just rude, he could at least put me back in bed"
"What was the point you would just fall out of it again"
"So he did put me back in bed huh" Shukaku looked at me before laying down and closing his eyes, I looked at my bed, he had taken my only pillow how in the wind nation was I going to sleep without it, "Can I have my pillow back" I looked at Shukaku, he didn't show any signs that I was ever going to get it back, someone started to knock on my door, "You may enter my domain if you wish to come out scarred for life" Gaara walked in looking around my room before looking at Shukaku, "So what brings you here Gaara, your not going to try and make me rethink everything are you"
"What is the point, when your mind is set, no one can change it, your like a stubborn royal bull"
"Your still mad aren't you" Gaara sat down in my chair
"Why would you bring Shukaku back, when he made me the way I was in the past"
"And yet he helped you become Kazekage with his unlimited chakra... you don't get it, you would have never met Naruto or even related to him if you didn't have him, yeah a lot of things good could of happened to you if you didn't have him but would you like to grow up like Kankuro" Gaara made a face at that but didn't say anything. "All four of you are the only people I have here, Shukaku may not be well liked but I care about him and all of you, your the only family I have not including my brothers since I grew up with them, never mind five, I forgot Shiro right there"
"Why can't you be like most people and be normal"
"Where's the fun in that, come on picture me being normal like the rest of the women in this village" I stopped talking remembering all the crazy fan girls in this village, I used to be one of them but not that hardcore, when was the last time I made a poor attempt at flirting with Gaara, wow it was when we we're really young, shaking my head, "Well now that I think about it all the women in this village are crazy, one tried to kill me, how is Matsuki doing"
"Who's Matsuki" Gaara looked in thought before looking back to the floor, "You mean Matsuri...I don't know what's going on, we left the village before the leaf ninja's arrived"
"I wonder when I'm going to walk again I feel like one of those toddlers learning how to walk with how jelly my legs are" I rubbed my leg before looking back at Gaara, "Oh yeah why are you in my room, don't tell me you want to lay with me, oh Gaara you naughty boy you I should have known" a small smile appeared on his lips
"I forgot that you have a sick mind always jumping to dirty conclusion"
"You picked up on that too, yeah I just remembered that I used to do that a long time ago when you were mad at the world" I laid down on my bed looking at the ceiling, when some came to mind and my smile started fall I forgot who many weeks had passed, "Gaara" I was afraid to ask but it had to be down
"What is it" Gaara looked at me
"How many days do I have now" it was a long pause, Gaara looked at the wall, my eyes didn't even leave the ceiling
"Tomorrow is your last day, and you depart the next" I closed my eyes, there was no way to get out of this, I had wasted two weeks and two days training to find a way to get Shukaku back and three days of travel to get back to the village I was out of time, "I'm sorry Tatsuki" I opened my eyes slowly
"It's okay, the only person I blame is your father for doing this to me, I'm not even his kid and he's putting me through this" I just regret not doing something about it in the first place, I just left it all to Temari, I should have done something from the start but again I treated it all like a joke this whole thing, just one big flipping joke. They we're seriously going to just sell me off to another village or land for money.
"We still have one more day to find something to keep you here in the village Tatsuki, I'm not going to lose you to another village you belong here with us"
"Wh-" Shukaku cut me off
"Would you shut up, the sand village is not just going to let some weakling boy take their weird unstable brat of a Kazekage away so stop your dumb pointless rants and go to sleep you stupid airhead" Shukaku didn't even open his eyes when he spoke
"Thanks tiny rat of a raccoon" Shukaku turned his head away to face the wall
"I never thought I would be in the same room with Shukaku again" Gaara looked at his back before looking at the floor, I sat up in bed
"Haha, I never thought I would be told death threats again but hey that happened for the past few days, I forgot the love of being told to choke on my own tongue"
"You are a strange girl Tatsuki"
"Yeah, I'm one of a kind, you can't find another one like me out there, maybe you can but that person can never me as awesome as me" I pulled a Guy and Rock Lee pose giving Gaara the thumbs up, "Enough of this depressed moment it's time to start off our last day of fun, I am no longer Kazekage as we speak, I am just the one and only Kurosaki Tatsuki for the rest of the time I'm here in the village, it's time for me to paint this village purple" I dropped to the floor crawling under my bed to bring out my purple paint a.k.a. Kankuro's bucket of purple makeup, I mean come on you see women carry small bits of hand held makeup but no Kankuro has a bucket of this stuff.
"Where did you get that"
"From under Kankuro's bed" I looked at Gaara point blank not missing a beat
"I'm not going to even ask why he has that much makeup"
"I know right, not one girl in this whole world will ever have this much on them, now Gaara your going to be my partner in crime this evening because I said so and I can't walk to save my life, it's time to make the councils really mad"
Early in the morning
I tossed the empty bucket in trash dusting off my hands, I looked over at Gaara he was still looking at the last house we painted it was 18 wrinkles place, I painted a monkey spanking it's behind toward the door with little cartoon paintings of the councils tripping and falling into dog poo all over his house. The others have their own special painting
"Well that is a job well done"
"We should have never done it"
"Oh come on Gaara, when was the last time we spent time together doing something that was fun, remember when we all got drunk in my office at the time" Gaara smiled at the memory
"I remember, but what I don't remember is how I got into your clothes"
"Sounds dirty but same here, none of us remember what happened after we passed out" yeah I remembered a bit a few days later, I was the one that change all of our clothes, Temari being up in the tower was her own doing she wrote a drunk latter to Shikamaru, Kankuro tried to walk home but passed out, Gaara just didn't move at all and I went to the wall pretending to be Gaara and watch the moon but passed out because I was bored
"The first time I had fun with my siblings I will remember for the rest of my life"
"Yeah, but you cheated when you used your sand on us, that was just below the belt" the small smile didn't leave his face
"I also remember what happened at the end" I was trying to remember what happened but nothing came up, what the hell did we do
"You told me that I was going to be the best Kazekage this village is ever going to have" oh yeah that
"Well of course, no one took me serious, I was just that kid that had training from master Yuki, now that I think about where is that old bat"
"I didn't believe you when you told me all those things, I thought your were a great Kazekage, you made the villagers smile"
"Yeah, that's all I could do, but your what they need to make them safe, no one can take a girl serious to protect them but hey this place is old fashion"
"Thank you Tatsuki" Gaara faced me, "And I'm sorry Tatsuki for all the bad things I have done to you in the past from trying to kill you to hurting you, it will always be my biggest regret and greatest nightmare that I have caused you harm for trying to be my friend"
"Finally I thought you were never going to apologize to me but seriously don't make it a nightmare it was a happy moment for me"
"You really are strange" the smile grew just the slightest, "I had to make sure it was from the heart like you wanted and not just said because it has to be said"
"WHAT HAPPENED HERE" we both looked at the councilor he was looking at his house, me and Gaara could not me seen from this distance, I was ready to laugh when Gaara cupped my cheeks looking straight into my eyes.
"I don't want to regret anything" he whispered to me before our lips locked into a very heated battle, yeah my time just started
