Island's Love
Chapter 4: A Little Bit pervertedness and life and death situations?
The Hotel…
"So who's gonna sleep with the same bed with whom?" Kankuro asked nastily. A few people blushed noticeably.
"I…um…ah…eh…hehehe…" Sakura said with a red face.
"C'mon, tell us who." Kankuro said with a teasing voice.
Lee cried chibi tears. "I get a bed of my own and my beloved…" Lee stopped at the look of Neji. "I mean, my worst enemy Sakura and Sasuke are in a bed together. There was a lot of arguing but that was our arrangement." Sakura and Sasuke blushed.
"Hinata-chan and I are in a bed while Kiba gets one of his own. Kiba said he wants to get a bed to himself so I agreed that I sleep with Hinata-chan." Naruto explained. The others smiled mentally at Kiba.
"Shika-kun and I sleep together." Ino said as she and Shikamaru blushed.
"N-N-Neji and I s-s-sleep t-t-together in a b-b-bed." Tenten stuttered with a blood red face.
"Temari and Shino sleep in a bed together." Kankuro said with a grin. He looked at Temari and Shino's red faces. They all turned Yuriko and Gaara who sweat dropped.
"Uh…what?" Yuriko asked.
"I'll kill you if you don't stop looking." Gaara threatened as the others sweat dropped in turn.
"Tell us if you are going to sleep together in the same bed." Kankuro pressed.
"Actually, Gaara said he would sleep on the floor if only the room wasn't as cramped as an attic. Only a bed and dresser were there. Almost no bit of floor can be seen so we didn't have a choice." Yuriko said as a matter-of-factly (She still doesn't know Gaara can sleep. She only knows he's got Shukaku in him.)
"So many words. So many chips." Chouji muttered as he munched on his beloved chips.
In a couple of hot springs after lunch…
"The water in so nice…" Ino commented as she closed her eyes and submerged her head in the water. Ino found the hot springs a while ago when she went outside to do a little touring. Ino called the others and they went to the springs.
"I wish the wall isn't just a bamboo one." Yuriko said nervously.
"D-d-don't worry, Yuriko. The boys aren't perverts." Hinata assured her.
"You take care of them if they are." Temari said as Ino's head popped out of the water.
"Don't you ever remove your braid?" Sakura asked.
Yuriko smiled. "The last boy who saw me without my braid is my brother and he died when I was five." Then Yuriko shivered. "I usually get this feeling if somebody is looking at me." Unknown to the girls, Kankuro was peeking at them and was having a hard time seeing.
"I…can't…see…" Kankuro said as he peeked through the bamboos.
"I wouldn't peek at them if I were you Kankuro. You know very well what these girls can do." Chouji warned while eating his beloved chips.
"Peeking is so troublesome…" Shikamaru muttered.
From behind the bamboo wall, somebody screamed. It sounded like Yuriko in trouble. Gaara jumped out of the water and kicked the bamboo wall down. There was a cloud of dust.
The other side…
Yuriko screamed because she slipped. Somebody kicked the bamboo wall and there was a huge cloud of dust.
"HENTAI!" All the girls, even Hinata, shouted.
Yuriko jumped out of the water and threw a few shurikens at the mystery guy who was outlined in the dust. She got out a few kunais and also threw it at the figure. Three paralysis needles were hidden in her towel so she got those three and threw it at mystery figure.
In the cloud of dust…
Gaara summoned sand and blocked the attacks. He made the sand attack his attacker and he heard a clash, which meant that the sand clashed with someone…or something. The huge cloud of dust vanished and he realized that his attacker was Yuriko. A stream of water was shielding her and the girls from Gaara's sand attack.
"You're a hentai?" She asked confusedly as the water splashed back into the spring.
"I'm not a hentai." Gaara said plainly. He glared at Yuriko. But the glare turned into a stare when he realized that Yuriko had only a towel wrapped around her.
Yuriko realized Gaara glare at her and she glared back. But somehow, Gaara's glare turned into an unbelieving stare. That was when she realized she was only had a towel wrapped around her. She turned crimson and she screamed, "AAH! HENTAI! GAARA'S A HENTAI! AAH!"
Gaara turned red when Yuriko shouted and he quickly turned around and went to the boys' hot spring. He used his sand to build a wall that acted as a barrier so that the girls wouldn't think they were hentais. He returned to the water with still that red face.
"Did I hear right?" Kankuro asked slyly. "Is Gaara a hentai?" He began whacking his ear.
"Gaara got the Hentai disease that youths get." Lee shook his head.
"…" Sasuke and Neji said.
"What really happened, Gaara?" Naruto pressed.
"Tell us so you would feel better." Kiba added.
Gaara stood up and said heatedly, "You don't care." He climbed out of the hot springs. He got another towel and wiped his hair with it. There was a fresh pair of his clothes in the living room and he went to the nearest bathroom. He dressed up in his usual attire and walked out of the bathroom. He had left his gourd in his apartment for the people in here were no threat but he can still summon sand for there was a lifetime supply in the island. He climbed up the ladder and went to his and Yuriko's room. He better wait for Yuriko and apologize for his earlier actions. He opened the door and was shocked at what he saw.
Yuriko was standing with her feet glued to the ground and staring a stupefied Gaara (She is not naked, you green minded perverts! She was wearing her undies, okay? She is not naked).
At the hot springs…
The shinobis in the hot springs heard Yuriko scream. They got their bathrobes and rushed to Yuriko and Gaara's room where they heard the scream. The door was open and they saw Gaara standing with his feet glued to the floor and Yuriko who had a towel around her and she was on her underclothes.
Yuriko was screaming the same words repeatedly. "Hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, hentai, HENTAI!"
Gaara walked out of the room with his eyes a bit wide. He walked down the stairs. Yuriko immediately got up from the floor where she was sitting and closed the door.
The lobby after that incident…
Everybody sat in the lobby. Kiba and Naruto were comparing Ramen flavors…
"Shrimp ramen is good." Kiba said.
"No way! Miso ramen is better." Naruto objected.
Lee was talking to himself about youth…
"Youth is very powerful. It is the most powerful of all the powers." And so on and so forth.
Kankuro was talking to Shino about Temari…
"Temari doesn't know how to apply make-up. She only knows how to kill." Kankuro said.
"Oh." Shino replied.
Shikamaru was saying his usual words…
"Everything is so troublesome…" He muttered.
Temari, Sakura, Tenten, and Ino were chatting about guys…
"My Shika-kun is the best of all the guys!" Ino boasted.
"So you've finally got over Uchiha and went to Nara." Tenten commented.
"So you've learned to like smiley face boxer guy." Ino retorted. Tenten's cheeks turned red.
"To think of it, Shino is quite cute." Temari said dreamily.
"Uchiha-sama is so quiet. But I still like him a bit." Sakura said quietly.
Yuriko and Hinata were just plain chatting…
"I never thought Gaara was a pervert. He saw me in my underclothes only!" Yuriko complained to Hinata.
"I t-t-think he didn't mean that, Yuriko-chan."
Sasuke, Neji, and Gaara were surprisingly talking like friends…
"How was Yuriko?" Sasuke asked Gaara.
"What do you mean?" Gaara asked as his cheeks reddened.
"He means, how were her curves?" Neji replied while smirking.
"N-n-nice." Gaara stuttered as his face turned scarlet.
And Chouji was eating his chips…
"Chips, chips, chips!" He exclaimed. The big clock in the lobby struck six a mouse ran down and…
"Hickory Dickory Dock!" A mysterious voice said.
"Yeah, yeah, right." Ino muttered.
Bedtime, room 1…
Kiba was sound asleep and Hinata was fidgeting in the bed with nightmares. Naruto woke up because Hinata just kicked him. He was just in time to hear what Hinata was saying.
"Naruto," Hinata moaned.
"Yes Hinata?" Naruto asked as he rubbed the sleepiness of his eyes. He realized that Hinata was asleep.
"Naruto, don't leave me." Hinata moaned. "Naruto, please don't leave me. Please. I can't live without you. Don't leave me."
"I won't leave you, Hinata-chan." Naruto replied softly.
Hinata continued moaning. "Naruto, please don't." Tears were leaking down her eyes. "Naruto, please. I love you." An empty silence befell after Hinata's words.
That was when Naruto had the sense to wake Hinata up. "Hinata, wake up. Please do. Wake up please." Hinata woke up and wiped her tears away. "What were you saying, Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked.
"Uh, nothing. I talked?" Hinata asked.
"Yes you did." Naruto replied.
Hinata blushed. "Don't mind what I said. I was just-" But before she could finish what she was saying, Naruto pulled her into a hug. The blush in Hinata's face deepened.
"I won't leave you Hinata. Never. And I love you too." Naruto whispered in Hinata's ear. Hinata's face broke into a smile.
"Thanks. I love you. Again." And Naruto leaned. He was inches away. There was no turning back… Hinata and Naruto k…
Kiba grinned. He wasn't that sound asleep after all. And he witnessed all that had happened.
In room 2…
Kankuro was looking at Shino and Temari who were asleep. Temari was unconsciously hugging Shino. Kankuro grinned. Her sister has finally stopped liking that Shikamaru and now was for Shino. It was a nice thing that she still allowed to her heart to love after that incident…
A flashback…
Shikamaru asked Temari for the two of them to meet under their usual meeting place, under an elm tree. Unknown to them, Kankuro secretly followed his sister and was spying on them.
"Hey my Shika-kun," Temari greeted Shikamaru lovingly. Shikamaru had a serious face and it worried Temari for Shikamaru never had a serious face. Ever.
"I'm telling you to stop calling me 'Shika-kun' starting from now on." Shikamaru replied.
"Why?" Temari asked with a worried face.
"This relationship isn't working out. I loved you. Or I thought I loved you but it that was only a childish liking. My heart belongs to someone now."
Tears were streaming down Temari's face. "You're…dumping me?"
"No." Shikamaru said exasperatedly. "I'm not dumping you. I'm just telling you the truth. It better be me who's telling you than another person. Please understand me, Temari. We can still be friends."
But Temari didn't hear the last sentence. She gathered chakra in both her feet and ran away from Shikamaru. She cut herself of from the public in a week.
End the flashback…
Kankuro sighed as he remembered that incident. Temari deserved someone. But not Shikamaru. Everybody deserved someone, even Gaara.
Everybody…
Room 3…
Lee was moaning in his sleep. "Youth…youth…"
Sakura laughed softly. "He's funny, right Uchiha-sama?"
Sasuke cursed. "Could you please stop calling me 'Uchiha-sama'? It's annoying."
Sakura laughed softly again. "But I can't. I'm dared to call you that."
"What if we bend that rule?" Sasuke asked with a nasty grin playing on his lips.
Sakura stuck her tongue out at Sasuke. "Nope. I want to call you 'Uchiha-sama' and I'll call you 'Uchiha-sama' whenever I want to call you."
"Shut up." Sasuke growled.
"Make me." Sakura dared. With one swift motion, Sasuke pecked Sakura on the lips. Sakura was frozen for a moment.
"That shut you up." Sasuke said as he grinned.
"Did you just kiss me?" Sakura asked. "Or was I just dreaming?"
Sasuke's grin widened. "You didn't dream. Want another one?" He leaned towards Sakura and Sakura did not object. The second kiss was more heartfelt than the first. Unknown to the two lovers, Lee was silently crying over the loss of his (Ahem!) I mean, Sasuke's Sakura.
Room 4…
Chouji was asleep with a bag of chips in both hands. Neji was pretending to be asleep while Tenten was gazing at his handsome face.
"If only I could be in your arms." Tenten muttered. "If only you open up your heart and I'll love you with all mine. You don't know how much I love you Neji. I'll love you till the end of time. My love will be immeasurable. I will hold you in my arms. I will never let you go. I'm a loyal lover. I love with all my heart. If only you could love me back…I love you, Neji." Tenten sighed as she lied down and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Unknown to her, Neji was wide awake and he heard everything that she said. He was surprised at first, yes. But he was also glad that they share the same feeling.
"I'll hold you in my arms." Neji replied. "I'll open up my heart and I'll love you will every single cell of it. You don't know how much I love you, Tenten. I'll love you till my heart bursts from loving you. My love can never be measured. I'll also hold you in my arms. I'll never let you go. Ever. I'm much more loyal than you think. I'll give you all my heart. I'll love you back. Wait and see… I love you, Tenten." Neji bent down and kissed Tenten's forehead. He lied down and slept beside her.
At the Hokage's Office…
Tsunade and Orochimaru blew their noses. They were on their seven hundred ninety seventh tissue.
"That was so sweet." Orochimaru commented as he blew his nose. He got out another tissue and wiped his tears. Tsunade did the same.
"I agree." Kurenai was unconsciously clinging onto Kakashi. Kakashi was grinning in a perverted manner. Kabuto had watery eyes. Gai was crying. Asuma continued smoking although his nose was quite red.
"The power of youth guided them." Gai said dramatically. Orochimaru, Kabuto, the Hokage, and the other jounins sweat dropped. Gai needed help.
If truth be told.
Room 5…
"Where the heck did you put it?" Ino asked Shikamaru desperately.
"I don't know." Shikamaru muttered.
"C'mon. I need to know where that teddy bear is." Ino said.
"I'll just buy you another one." Shikamaru assured.
"But that bear is important to me!" Ino moaned. That teddy bear was so important to her. It was her life.
"That is just one stupid bear…" Shikamaru said, hoping that it would reassure Ino. But it didn't.
"One stupid bear?" Ino wailed. "That is not one stupid bear! The nerve of you to call that one stupid bear!"
Shikamaru sighed. It was time to tell the truth. "I kinda threw it in the Pacific." He chuckled nervously. Ino had her eyes down. Dangerous aura was coming out of her.
"Could you please repeat what you just said? I don't think I heard you well." Ino said as politely as she can.
Shikamaru was a bit pissed. "I said, I threw your teddy bear in the Pacific Ocean." He growled. Ino looked at him. Tears were streaming down her face. Shikamaru was uneasy.
Ino choked, "You don't know how much that bear's important to me. It was given by my favorite aunt who passed away. That aunt was everything to me! My world seemed to end when she died. That teddy bear was the last property she had. She ordered everything of hers to be burned. Now I've completely lost her!" Ino rocked herself back and forth. She shot Shikamaru a look of pure anger. "I hate you." She muttered.
Shikamaru was restless that night. Nobody had ever said those words to him.
Nobody.
Besides, it was his fault. If he just didn't touch her property then this wouldn't have happened. "I'm so sorry, Ino. I really am. Please forgive me." Shikamaru said to Ino whose eyes were so red. If only she knew what he had sacrificed for her…
Room 5…
"You know Gaara, I hate perverts." Yuriko said icily. "I hate every single fiber in their being. You didn't seem the pervert type but looks can be deceiving, right?"
"For the last time, I didn't mean it." Gaara retorted.
"But didn't my eyes just see it?" Yuriko answered back.
"Looks can be deceiving, right?" Gaara answered frostily.
"You should've just turned around and not stared at me."
"What does a normal guy do?"
"A normal guy is not perverted. Unlike you who's one."
"I'm not a pervert." Gaara growled. His psychotic side was kicking in and within a few minutes, he would surely try to kill Yuriko. Yuriko seemed to be having the dragons out of control too.
"You are one." She answered back.
"You're a stupid, foolish, thick, dense, slow, dull, brainless, and dim-witted girl. Who would like to look at the ugly body of yours? You're disgusting me." Gaara mocked.
"How dare you…" Yuriko said with her voice full of anger. This Gaara had just insulted her and she wasn't going to let this pass. Nobody had the right to insult her. Nobody. "How dare you insult me? You think you're so great with that demon inside of you? Well, think again! I wound never use my dragons against you. Remember that. And nothing's special about you. Not one single−" But she didn't have a chance to finish her last sentence. Gaara was so furious. He can't just take it anymore.
Yes.
He just insulted her. It was his fault. But would anybody care if she actually died? "You have no right to insult me." Gaara said warningly.
"Neither do you." Yuriko choked. Gaara's sand was squeezing her. The dragons could surely get this damned sand of her but she had to keep her word. Gaara raised his hand and Yuriko rose up. Gaara had Yuriko's hands in the sand coffin so she couldn't move. Nor breathe. Yuriko gasped for air. This Gaara was a complete psycho! He was trying to kill her. Her vision was darkening. The lack of air was doing its job in killing her.
Gaara was grinning maniacally. There happened to be a veranda outside their room. Maybe he should play with her a little. Yuriko was so much in need of air. Gaara placed her in the veranda and released the sand's grip on her. She gaped for air and clutched her chest as she wheezed. Gaara made a hand with his sand and scratched Yuriko with it. The sand made deep gashes in Yuriko's chest. Gaara continued on clawing Yuriko until Yuriko was bleeding so much. Yuriko thought that this was enough. She staggered up and stepped backward while clutching her bleeding arms.
"You're…a…psycho…" She panted as Gaara's sand lunged for her. She stepped backward but the railing was destroyed by Gaara. Her body fell back into a graceful arc and she landed on the island's floor.
The other rooms…
The sleeping occupants of the rooms heard fighting and a loud thud. Thinking that something was wrong, they walked sleepily outside.
Yep.
Something was wrong. Something was dead wrong.
The girls covered their mouths when they saw Yuriko lying down in the sand, all bloody. Gaara was smirking at her in a nearby coconut tree.
"Is she…dead?" Sakura asked. Tears welled up in her eyes. Shino stepped forward. She checked Yuriko's pulse in her neck.
"She's alive. But her pulse is faint. Somebody bring her to the living room." Without further ado, Naruto stepped forward and carried Yuriko's limp body to the said room. The others followed her.
All but Gaara.
Naruto laid her body in the sofa. Shino had a very worried expression on (You could feel his worried aura.). "Sakura, you're the medic ninja here so I'm giving her to you. She needs emergency medical attention now. Her situation is bad."
Sakura nodded and began barking orders at them. "Naruto, get hot water. Hinata, get a few clean white cloths. Ino, give me some bandages. Now, now, now!" Naruto, Hinata, and Ino immediately complied. After a few minutes, they came back with Sakura's medical needs. Sakura got them and performed a few hand seals. She scanned Yuriko.
"Internal bleeding. Many wounds. Dislocated bones. Blocked chakra points. This is bad." Sakura muttered.
"Is she going to be okay, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked worriedly. He treated Yuriko as his sister so he worried so much for her. Naruto held Yuriko's hand tight. "C'mon, Yuriko. Live!" Neji, Lee, Kankuro, Tenten, Hinata, Ino, Sasuke, Chouji, Kiba, Shino, Temari, and Shikamaru left the living room to give Sakura some space. Naruto refused to go because he said he needed to watch over Yuriko. Sakura ripped Yuriko's torn clothes to inspect Yuriko's wounds. They were deep.
Yuriko was in a life or death situation.
The sun shone and Sakura finished tying bandages at Yuriko's wounds. She wiped her brow. Yuriko was safe. She only needed rest. Her cell regeneration was incredible! Probably because of the dragons. Sakura stood up and woke a sleeping Naruto in the next couch.
"Naruto," She said gently while shaking Naruto. "Wake up. Yuriko's safe."
Naruto bolted awake and said, "Really? That's good news!" He rushed to Yuriko's side and began thanking Sakura profusely. "Thank you, Sakura-chan. Thank you very much. Thank you in behalf of Yuriko."
Sakura smiled brightly at him. "No problem. Yuriko's also my sister so I care for her. She only needs rest and relaxation. Don't crowd around her. You better make Gaara stay away from her. He might finish her off." Sakura's face darkened as she remembered how Gaara smirked. She was so sure it was him who inflicted those wounds at Yuriko. Yuriko probably didn't want to fight Gaara.
"You bet I will. Count me on that." Naruto said darkly. He was beginning to hate Gaara. Sakura went upstairs to call the others and tell the good news. Within minutes, all were downstairs.
Ino bounced happily downstairs, avoiding Shikamaru's gaze and clearly not forgetting what happened the other night. Hinata and Tenten looked so relieved. Temari was smiling. Lee was grinning toothily. Kankuro and Shino had no worried auras around them. Neji and Sasuke were smirking. That was the time when Gaara chose to enter the inn. Everybody's faces darkened. Naruto, however, was shaking with inexpressible anger.
He walked forward and glared at Gaara. "How dare you do that to Yuriko when you know she won't fight back? You've got no decency in you."
Gaara glared back. "She insulted me."
"I know her and she wouldn't insult anyone if you don't insult her first." Naruto retorted.
Gaara sneered more. "You don't know her. No matter how hard you try, you're never going to be her brother."
That took Naruto aback. He looked sadly at the ground. Yuriko wasn't a blood relative of his. Gaara was right. No matter how he tried, he was never going to be Yuriko's brother. But he thought of something. "She isn't my relative but I love her as my sister." Naruto yelled.
"You're dreaming." Gaara sneered back.
Hokage's Office…
Everybody was looking shocked at the TV's. "I never thought Gaara would try to kill Yuriko." Kurenai said breathlessly.
"Why that freaking bastard?" Kakashi cursed. "Yuriko's just a girl!"
"Thanks to my medical student Sakura that Yuriko survived!" Tsunade boasted.
"How can Gaara be so mean?" Orochimaru asked as he put his poster of Sasuke and placed it beside him.
"Meanie…" Kabuto muttered and he stroked his 'beloved' mushroom.
"The power of youth saved Yuriko!" Gai said as he struck a pose and his teeth went ping. Gai definitely needed help.
Without doubt.
Living room…
Yuriko sat up only to see everybody glaring at Gaara. She glared at him too. But also said something. "I've changed my mind." She said coldly. "I'll use my dragons at you, bastard."
Everybody looked at Yuriko who was glaring at Gaara who was glaring at everybody who turned their attention back to him.
Yuriko sneered at Gaara. "You're such a freaking bastard Gaara. I'll hate you as long as I live." Yuriko raised her hand and water accumulated in her palm. She was about to throw the water ball at Gaara when her muscles ached to death. She bit her lip. The water ball disappeared. Yuriko clutched her stomach. The bandages were drenched in blood.
She shot a look at Gaara and said dangerously…threateningly, "You'll pay for doing this to me Gaara. I'm going to be your worst nightmare…"

Gaara: Why are you making me so psycho?
Me: Aren't you a psycho?
Gaara: I'm not… (a villager runs and screams at the sight of Gaara)
Me: See? I told you.
Gaara: Make me good here.
Me: Price?
Gaara: (whispers something that makes my eyes go O.O)
Me: I'm going to write that so beware. (laughs evilly)
