A pair of large brown eyes with a pair of dark eyes watch Temari and the newest addition to the village from a hidden distance. The girl who suddenly appeared out of thin air, May. Who has been put in Temari's handle. Always with the female jonuin, who never seem to leave her side, like a bodyguard of some sort of importance person. Which what information told them the Kazekage wanted, another source of information that also was apparent in the village that May, stayed with Kazekage and his family in his residence.
Which stirred envy from many, which was unbest known to May. The pairs of eyes narrow in jealousy, a burning rage of questions hide behind their eyes. Stalking every movement of May, who seem to marvel at everything around her. Which made her seem to glow without evening knowing so. Her golden yellowish eyes seem to shimmer on their own like some sort of enchantress that could dazzle a raging beast. The smile she had on, never seem to turn into a frown, occasionally it would turn into a deep thought look or worry, but quickly return. Though they could not hear her voice, they could only imagine what it would most likely sound like. Sweet like a honey and just a gentle as silk and warm as mother's embrace.
They take in every single detail and information the pair of eyes saw. From head to toe, everything even her outfit, shape of her body's frame which they had to admit themselves was nice, but also made them wonder how and why someone like her and age had such a shape it was cute and well defined. Making them question their own bodies and try to figure out how they could have what she has.
Growling to themselves, when they realize May and Temari where headed their way. Quickly they scurry off before they could see seen.
Your golden eyes look up at the clear blue skies. Temari does the same wondering what you where looking at."Temari..."she looks at you waiting for you finish what you wanted to say or what was on your mind."...Do you think..."
Before you could say anything, a loud energetic voice boomed loudly through the village. Which surprised you slightly, Temari looks passed you with a smirk upon her lips. Shaking her head. Looking to her, it was obvious she knew who this person was who's voice rang out.
Looking noticing a few feet away what seem like a dot to others, to you was clear as day. It was a teen boy with spiky blonde hair and blue eyes. With three whiskers on either side of his face, he had on a huge smile. Dressed in a orange tracksuit with black upper shoulders the colour extending from around the neck and shoulders, down the front and sleeves. Black sandals and he also wore a forehead protector but the symbol on it was not like those of Sunagarkure. Not it was different it looked like a leaf with a swirl in the middle. This boy seemed about your age and Gaara's.
With him two more another teen boy along with a teen girl. The other male teen was tall dressed in a green jumpsuit with orange leg warmers his arms to his hand wrapped in bandage like a fingerless cloves with a flak jacket, his black hair was cut in a bowl style, thick black eyebrows and his dark energetic eyes pumped and focused. His forehead protector was around his waist.
The only female with them had long straight dark blue hair reaching her lower back with short strands framing her face that reached her shoulders, fair skin dressed in loose fitting lavender and cream hooded-jacket with lavender cuffs with navy blue pants and black, low-heeled sandals. With her forehead protector around her neck. She had a kind, timid and somewhat shy demur about her. Though what stood out was the color of her eyes, her white eyes with a tinge of lavender in them.
All three of them had to be from the same place, seeing they wore the same symbol and all three of them had on a backpack which, it was easily seen they where headed someone where. Why you wondered who they where, the blonde haired one spotted Temari with you. He waves yelling out her name loudly waving wildly to her.
You watch him take off running towards the direction of you and Temari with the other two walking behind him. It didn't take him long to reach the two of you.
Temari greets him friendly."Naruto, this is a surprise."she smiles at the boy.
Who smiles back, when he noticed you. He gets a closer look at you, pretty much invading your personal space."Who are you?"
Stepping back just a bit to give yourself some distance. Before you could introduce yourself."Naruto. We have to stay together."the bowl cut boy tells Naruto strictly.
Moving away from you, Naruto turns to the bushy brow teen. Rolling his eyes."Ok..."turning back to you asking the same question."Who are you? I've never seen you here before, in the village."
Which gets the other twos attention on you. Holding you a hand to shake, you introduce yourself."My name is May O'Neil. It is a pleasure to meet you, I believe your name is Naruto."
Naruto looks at you a bit surprised you knew his name. But none the less smiles at you shaking your hand."Hi May. I'm Naruto Uzumaki. Of "His grip was firm.
"A pleasure, are these your close companions?"you look to the other two, which caused the girl to blush at what you said. Though the other one did not seem notice. He comes over to you, and like a gentlemen introduces himself respectfully.
He puts his fist to his chest, bowing to you."Hello, I am Rock Lee."He comes back up and suddenly strikes some sort of pose with his thumb up and smile. Which made you assume he wanted you to return it. So you do the samething back to him, making Naruto start to laugh. Temari looks at you in disbelief.
Rock Lee was puzzled by you mimicking him, when he drops it. You do the samething too. Looking to the last one, the girl. She gives you a small smile before she introduced herself."I'm Hinata Hyuga."
Extending your hand to her, she shakes it back. Her shake was different from Naruto's, this one was more gentle and meek.
"A pleasure to meet you. All of you."you tell them.
"Same."Naruto smiles to you."So...are you new in the village or something, because...I've never seen you here before. Whenever I come."
You answer simply."Yes. I am very much new here in this village."
"Really?! Where do you come from then? What village?"Naruto now interested in you. Forgetting about why he really came here.
Hinata tries to remind him to stay on track but it was no use at all. Naruto paid no mind."I am from New York City."you tell him.
Naruto nods his head like he knew of the place."I see...New York City..."he thinks about it. Going over in his mind of the village New York City. Ending up with no information."...New York City? I've never heard of a village called that before."
Rock Lee also was thinking like Naruto wondering about this place."Neither have I."
The two young men look at eachother then back at you. Assuming you where playing some sort of trick on them."Are you playing around?"Naruto started to laugh.
Hinata could see you where not playing around at all. She tries to get him to stop laughing. Which you found slightly insensitive. But left it alone, Naruto soon caught on, seeing you where not joking at all. He was stunned that you where not lying at all.
He looks to Temari, who nods her head vouching for you. Getting the topic off you, she inquires why he and others where here."So, what brings you here?"
Getting back onto the topic."Oh, we need to ask Gaara for a favor."Lee tells her.
"Oh, yeah."Naruto snaps his fingers."Yeah, is he busy?"
"I don't think so. Come on."Temari starts to walk off, and like always you follow her staying by her side. Naruto and his group follow. It didn't take long to reach the Kazakage's building. Going inside Temari takes everyone to Gaara's office. She knocks on the door calling for him. There was no response, she knocks again and this time enters looking around and closes the door.
"Well?"Naruto looks at her.
"Gaara isn't in. He must be in a meeting."she tells him. Naruto huffs."I'll leave the information to Gaara and in the meantime you can just relax."
"Why don't you come and rest."you suggest to them, the three look at you. You smile at them."It seems you have come from a longways, surely your bodies are tired, and would like to rest. Please, allow me to show you hospitality."
Making it back home, which you informed Naruto and his friends that Gaara, whom you addressed as Mr. Gaara, has allowed you to stay with him and his family. For the time being. Opening the door, you tell Naruto and his friends to make themselves at home. Going to the kitchen to fetch some refreshments. Naruto takes off his bag and lounges on the couch. Taking a load off, Lee and Hinata shake their head at him. Looking around, realizing this was the first time any of them had been in Gaara's place before. It was not bad.
Coming back, carrying a tray of refreshments for them noticing that Lee and Hinata still had on their bags. Placing the tray down on the small table."Please, sit down."you tell them, holding your hand out to an empty chairs for them.
"Thank you, but it is alright."Lee tells you. Naruto thought helps himself on the food you brought, stuffing his face."Naruto!"Lee snaps at him.
"What?"Naruto cheeks where stuffed. Swallowing."We don't know how long Gaara will be in the meeting for, so might as well. Geez Lee, I thought you where the nice guy? Passing up food from a girl. How rude."
Offended by what he just said, Lee bows deeply to you."I meant no disrespect!"he yells, in a quick flash he takes off his bag and sits down. Grabbing the food and stuffing his face. Thanking you for the treats.
Watching the two of them gorge on the food, reminded you of Mikey making you smile in remembrance both sad and happy. Hinata slightly embarrassed by their behavior tries her best to apologize, when she noticed the look you had on the two of them. Temari noticed this with you too. She had seen that look before when Gaara gave you back your book.
She was about to say something, when you started to laugh a bit at the two. Excusing you go back to the kitchen to get some more refreshments. Coming back with another tray and take a seat the sofa. Looking to Hinata, you pat the spot next to you, wanting her to join you. Seeing the others relaxed, she joins in and takes the seat by you.
You pass her something to eat."Th-thank you."she takes it with a smile."Again, I'm sorry for this."
You softly chuckle."No, it is alright. I find it very comforting."Hearing the fondness in your voice, she seem to understand."So, what village are you three from?"you asks her.
Temari takes her leave, telling you she would be in her room."Konohagakure. The Hidden Leaf Village."
"Oh, Temari informed of such a village. It is one of the great nation villages correct?"
She nods her head."Yes, it's a very famous village. We have pretty strong Shinobi. Our village is very well diverse."
"How interesting. What is the leader of your village called, I have been told that every village has a Kage."
Before she could say anything, Naruto does with his mouth still full. Which caused him so spit food out nearly landing on you and Hinata."The Hokage!"he swallows his food in one gulp.
"The Hokage."you repeat what he said."I like the name. Are you all shinobis as well?"
Lee swallows his food, dabbing his mouth."Yes, we are."
"What is your rank. There are quite a few."
"Me and Lee are Chunins."Hinata tells you.
"Though Naruto is a Genin."
You look at him, he stuffs his faces with some cookies. Finishing the last bit, much to Lee's anger."Naruto! You ate the last one!"
"What? You weren't going to get it."Naruto protest.
Which did not sit well with Lee. Who grows at him. Pushing the other tray you had forward to them."Please, do not fuse. There is more." Seeing this, the two of them waste no time.
Hinata sighs."Are you a Shinobi?"
Looking at her, shaking her head."No, I have been training to become a Miko. A priestess."
"Really?!"Hinata was surprised by this.
"Yes, back home. I have been. Though here...I am not sure."you shrug your shoulders.
"Can you use chakra?"Naruto asks, again with his mouth full.
"No."you tell him."I use aura. Instead, which is in a way similar to it."
"Aura?"Lee looks at you, while smacking Naruto's hand away from his food.
Nodding your head."Yes, a skill I have been training in. Shall I demonstrate for you?"
Having their attention, the two guys nod their head. Sitting still, you look at the chair next to Lee. They watched with anticipation waiting, next thing the chair started to outline itself. Holding your hand out, you make it rise up slowly. The chair follows, the group watches in awe, spinning your finger around, the chair follows your every hand movement. Lowering your hand, the chair settles back on the ground.
"That is my aura, it allows me to do things such as well. And feel others as well."you turn to them, with a smile. They where still in awe. That some food feel out of Naurto's open mouth."That is not all, since I have been training to become a Miko. I can also heal others who are injured. And with my s-"
Next thing Naruto jumps up on the couch."Naruto, you should not stand on furniture."Which Lee follows Naruto not long after standing in the chair. Assuming they did not hear you, you repeat yourself again.
But they still stood in their seats."Can you really heal?"Naruto eagerly asks. Which you just nod your head. Excited by this, he thrust his fist up in the air."Perfect!"
Not sure what he was talking about."It seems you are thrilled about this. Though may I ask, why?"
Before they could tell you, the door opens all of you look. To find Gaara there, surprised by two things. One Naruto and the others presence, secondly Naruto and Lee standing on the furniture. Both Naruto and Lee freeze.
"...Hello Naruto and Lee."he gives them a small friendly smile.
Hinata hides her face."Hey Gaara!"Naruto jumps off the couch and goes over to greet the Kazekage. With open arms, Lee flips off landing perfectly fine. These two sure had a great deal of energy.
Turning to Hinata, you just smile at this."Their presence is very filling."
Hinata eases a bit. Nodding her head in agreement."Please excuse me, I have to join them."she gets up and goes over to guys. So you decide to clean up, getting the trays and sweeping up a few crumbs and take everything back to the kitchen. Turning on the water, you begin to clean what you used. Using your telekinesis placing them on the side. Grabbing a towel, and dry every single drop off, and lastly putting them back. By the time you returned, Naruto, Lee and Hinata had their things back on, Gaara stood by the door with them.
Hinata noticed you first, looking to them. She waves to you."Thank you again, May."
Naruto and Lee look in your direction. The two smile at you."You are departing?"
"Yeah."Naruto tells you."Gaara's going to assign us with a one of his medic ninjas. To bad your not a shonbi, anyway. It was nice meeting you May, and thanks for the food. Hope to see you again!"he waves to you.
Lee strikes his pose with you thank you, which you copy assuming that was his way of saying bye. Naruto just laughs. Stopping you wave to them all."I wish you well upon your journey. Please do come by, whenever."
All three of them wave bye walking out with Gaara following shutting the door. Outside, taking the lead Gaara takes them in the direction of the hospital. Naruto looks over his shoulder back at the place.
"May is really nice."He tells Gaara."Strange, where she's from though. New York City...what a place."
"Indeed, that it is."Lee agrees.
Naruto turns to Gaara."It's nice of you, Gaara to let her stay with you."
"Thank you, it's just for the time being. So she can get accustomed to the village. May is new here."The Kazekage looks to his blonde friend."She doesn't have anywhere else to go."
"How sad."Hinata thinks about you.
"How noble of you."Lee praises Gaara."She is quite cute and sweet."he smiles at what he said."A rare find."
"I agree."Naruto nods his head, making Hinata slightly slump down."To bad, she couldn't come with us on our mission."
Lee agrees."Yes, she would seem like the perfect fit. I would greatly like to see her healing."
Coming to the hospital, Gaara leads them in. He was greeted by others, he greets them back. When one of the villagers spot him, carrying something. Calling to him, Gaara stops.
"Kazekage."it was a man in his mid 40's with dark eyes and mid brown colored short hair, the woman almost the same age as him, with deep brown eyes and blonde hair in short bob cut.
"Yes?"Gaara gives them his attention.
"We came to thank the one who, healed my mother."The woman tells him, holding a wrapped object."She's so much better now. I thought the worse..."she starts to tear up, but smiles happily."I was afraid...I would not see her when I returned from my mission...but...do you know where they are?"
"You mean May?"Naruto figures it out.
The woman looks at him."The newest addition to the village?!"she was surprised.
"Yes."Gaara tells her."May O'Neil was the one who healed your mother. She is currently residing in my home."
"Can you please give this to her. As a thanks."the woman hand Gaara the gift. He takes it.
"Yes."he tells her, she thanks him and leaves with the man. He looks down at the gift he was holding, he didn't expect this at all. Most in the village where uneasy about May. Even him just a little, but this right here eased his mind. Remembering why he was here, he has Naruto and his team follow him.
Back with you, you sat in your room. Looking the picture of you and April on the cover of your Grimora. Your heart was so heavy, placing a hand upon the picture. You pick up the the book and hold it close to you. Mourning to yourself. When a knock came to your door. Quickly you hide your book, and rid the sadness from your eyes. Standing up, you open the door. To greet whoever it was with a smile, a small part of you was hoping it might be Naruto and his friends. Though instead it was Gaara.
Much to your surprise."Mr. Gaara...yes?"
Holding out the gift for you out."This is a thanks from Ms. Sayuri's family."he places it in your hand. Taking it, you look at it wondering what it was, and more so touched by this.
Smiling softly."How is Ms. Sayuri?"you asks looking to him.
"She is doing much better."Gaara tells you.
"That is very wonderful to hear."you tell him delighted from that information."Thank you."
Hearing some voices, Temari opens her door just a bit. Assuming that it was Naruto and the rest, she finds instead it was Gaara standing at your door. Briefly talking with you. Puzzled yet intrigued, watching the talk wrap up. Gaara leaves, turning around he sees his sister looking at him.
"What was that all about?"she asks.
"Some had a gift for May."Gaara tells her."From Ms. Sayuri's family."
"Oh, really...well that was nice of them."Temari smiles."So you delivered it to her?"
"Yes."Gaara tells her, looking back to your room. Temari looks as well.
