Kidoumaru Does Konoha!

Chapter 35

Kidoumaru sipped the tea he'd been given, it really did help the pain in his throat, the Nara clan was, after all, known for it's medicines.

Shikamaru looked at him closely, "So, what did mom mean, her 'sons'?"

Kidoumaru tried to laugh, but it came out as a cough, "She means that..."

"Kidoumaru is your brother now, Shika." Yoshino poked her head into the dining room, "He's a Nara now."

Nara Shikamaru took it quite well. He fainted.

...

"They already captured him, it was that Zetsu person...From Akatsuki." Hana informed the Sand Nins, "And your lover-boy helped catch him,"

Kiba smirked at Temari, "Actually, his mother did!"

Temari wasn't surprised, Nara Yoshino was a strong woman.

"So, we missed it..." Kankurou turned, "Oh, by the way, Hana," He turned and pointed, "Gaara just arrived, jan. Hana, this is my brother Gaara. Gaara, this is Hana."

Hana looked over at the Kazekage of Sunagakure, "My, he's as cute as you. That uniform really brings out your hair and eyes, Gaara."

Gaara simply looked at her, tilting his head slightly, "Thank you... That was a compliment, was it not?"

"Yes, yes it was."

Temari snickered, "All the ladies in Suna agree with you. That's why Kankurou had to get a bride here..."

"I have fans in Suna! I could have any woman I want, jan! I'm just a one woman man!"

"Because one's all you could catch!"

Kankurou glared at his sister, but Hana diffused the situation. "You just don't appreciate his charms because you're his sister."

"Thank God for that, jan! I don't want to end up like Shikamaru!"

Temari made an obscene gesture at that remark..."C'mon Kankurou, let's get to the park, I want to show you where everything is."

"May I come?" Gaara asked.

"S-sure, Gaara." Kankurou smiled, "As long as you don't bring the Sand Witch."

Temari snarled at the nickname, and the guards turned away so she wouldn't see them laughing and punish them.

"Stay here, Sand Witch." Gaara said, with a perfectly straight face, and even Baki was laughing now...

I'll get you for this, Kankurou, mark my words, you'll pay!

...

Anko didn't mind a challenge, but this guy... Zetsu glared at her with pupiless eyes.

"You're Ibiki's replacement?"

"Ha, this chick is nothing!"

Anko smiled sweetly, a smile those who knew her feared, especially her 'subjects'. She didn't always enjoy her work, torture was a grisly and brutal business, but she felt she'd enjoy this one. "This chick, as you put it, was once a pupil of Orochimaru." She moved her hair slightly, revealing a Cursed Seal mark.

Zetsu's eyes widened.

"Hmmm... A pupil he didn't murder..."

"I know it wasn't for your body, delicious as it looks, his tastes were towards more... Boyish pursuits."

Anko ignored him best she could, but the implications were disgusting, though not surprising. Orochimaru was probably the most evil, perverted creature she had ever had the displeasure of knowing, But now was time for business, "Where is the Akatsuki base?"

"Let us loose and we'll take you there..."

"That's right, we wouldn't hurt such a pretty creature..." Zetsu sneered at the the woman, he/they knew she wasn't fool enough to believe them, but one takes their fun where they can.

She walked over to a nearby table and removed a gleaming instrument, "So you won't cooperate? Good. I look forward to learning the secrets of your Blood Limit, piece by piece..."

...

Yoshino led Sakura into the living room of her house.

"Kidoumaru, are you alright"

Kidoumaru smiled at her, "I'm fine, babe." he rasped, "And so are you."

Sakura blushed and sat down next to her boyfriend, "Your throat's hurt, let me heal it, I am a healer, after all" She lifted a glowing hand to Kidoumaru's throat, sending soothing Chakra throughout the bruised area, "Now, doesn't that feel better?"

"Mmmm, I always feel better when you touch me..."

Sakura blushed at that.

Shikato walked into the room, looking pale and weak, he'd just gotten back from the search, only to find the Missing Nin had come to his own home, as well as another small detail.

"Yoshino, honey, did we adopt Kidoumaru?"

"Yes, yes we did, sweetheart..."

Shikato nodded and promptly fainted.
