Chapter 14: The Hyuuga's
I was able to hear them again after a while. I had tried to look at the books, but the drawings were too obscure. I put the book back and turned to them. Gaara gave me a small smirk while the blonde woman and Naruto looked at me. I blushed slightly and smiled back.
"You two can go now," the blonde woman said. "Naruto and I have some other business to attend to."
"When would you like me back?" Gaara asked, waving me to him. I obeyed and stood behind him. I put my hand on his arm and gripped at his sleeve. I always felt safest when I could touch him. He didn't move.
"Tomorrow is fine," Naruto said after a brief glance with the woman. He grinned. "Have fun." He winked at me and I hid behind Gaara's arm. He was so weird sometimes that it freaked me out. I noticed Gaara smile at me over his shoulder.
"Bye," the Kazekage said before leading me out.
He took me around the town for the remainder of day. There was a small festival going on and he bought me dinner. It was fun and he smiled at me a lot. We walked to the place we were staying, hand-in-hand. He stopped us at the door and we just stood there for a minute.
I looked at him concerned. "Is something wrong?" I asked.
He turned to me and kissed me gently for a minute. "Whatever happens inside," he whispered, "do not leave my side. When we get to a room, I'll explain everything to you." I was confused, but I smiled. He opened the door. Inside, Temari, Kankurou, Sakura-san, and Sasuke sat at a low table.
A man entered the room. He was elder and had white eyes without pupils. They looked familiar. "We will not allow her to stay here," he said, pointing a finger at me. "She is not welcome."
I blinked and looked at Gaara. "W-what's going on?" I asked in a small voice. He was scary.
"Leave immediately," the old man demanded. He pulled out a kunai and pointed it at me when no one moved. "Go!"
I moved behind Gaara, who held his hand out protectively. The four at the table stood up. I heard Gaara give off a small growl.
"Hyuuga-san," Sakura-san said. "She is with Kazekage-sama and his siblings. She is staying in this house under the rulings of both the Godaime and the Rokudaime."
"The Rokudaime has put his nose enough in this house," the old man cried. "I will not have her!" He threw the knife towards me. Gaara's sand blocked it from me.
A boy, not much older than Gaara, came into the room. He had the same eyes as the old man, but he had a Konoha ninja headband on. "Enough of this, grandfather," he said in a raised voice. "She is welcome whether you like it or not."
"Gaara," I whispered, "can we stay somewhere else?" The atmosphere was cold and directed at me. I wanted to get out. I didn't want to leave Sakura-san and Temari sitting there alone, but I didn't want to stay with the old man, either. The pupil-less family was familiar, but creepy.
He turned around and held me. "I'm sorry, Saahra," he whispered into my ear. "I was hoping that they wouldn't react to you. You are a part of their family. This is what Naruto and Tsunade wished to speak with me about. I was going to tell you when we got some privacy, but it seems things have come out faster than that." He kissed my cheek.
I rested my head on his shoulder, not wanting to move. "Don't say you're sorry," I told him softly. "You didn't know this was going to happen." I nuzzled my head into the crook of his neck.
"Do they do that all the time?" I heard Sasuke ask over Gaara's shoulder. I looked at him. He had his eyes closed and wasn't even looking at us. He looked a little annoyed.
Temari nodded from across from him. "Saahra's voice tends to be very quiet," she said, but she smiled at me in her family's creepy way. "You pretty much have to get her to talk in your ear to hear her sometimes. The good thing is that she doesn't raise her voice at all."
"Why don't we eat?" the Hyuuga boy said. "Then, I'll show you two to your rooms."
Gaara turned so he stood next to me, but his arm still behind my back. We removed our shoes and sat at the table.
