"Trapped with you"
Gothicangel: The question for today...who is you favorite real world bishie?
Neko-chan: Are you talking about that MTV show?
Gothicangel-; no. I am talking about the real world, our world, not the anime world
Me: Oh. Well, there is Bam Margera, Lauri Yloonen, Ville Vallo, Mike Shinoda and...Xzibit!
DarkMagicianGirl: Bam, Ville, Chester, Johnny Deep and Eminem is kind of cute
Neko-chan: Brad Pitt, Bam, Ville, Chester, Orlando Bloom, Viggo Mortensen and...Usher o
Me: What about you?
Gothicangel: Bam Margera, Ville Vallo, Lauri Yloonen, Mike Shinoda, Viggo Mortensen and Chester. And I fancy Snoop Dog a bit, and Xzibit and 50cent too.
Neko-chan: Well...that conversation was completly pointless
Gothicangel: No it's not. We're just revealing some facts about ourselfs to the readers
Neko-chan: I see...
Gaara put his ear on Kira's chest. "She's not breathing." He said simply and looked at Kira again.
"She...she's not..." Laura then fainted, and Sasuke caught her before she got a nasty bump.
"Does anybody know CPR" Alana asked, and looked around.
Before anyone could answer, Gaara pressed his lips against Kira's. Almost everyone gasped. He breathed air in, then pressed her chest a few times and did it all over again. After a few times, Kira started coughing up water. Gaara gently tipped her to her side, and patted her back.
Sasuke let Neji hold Laura and then ran to Kira and kneeled next to her. "Are you ok"
"I'm...Ok." she gagged. Gaara got up and walked away.
Sasuke looked at him suspiciously "Why did you help her" Gaara stopped, but didn't turn around "Everyone knows you're too obsessed with yourself to help anyone else."
"I just felt like it." Gaara answered and walked away.
Alana blinked at the boy, and felt her senses coming back. She then realized, that it wasn't because of Jiraya she shivered, someone else was watching her. She looked around, searching for the pair of eyes that was watching her. Its gaze felt familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She shrugged and continued to look at the red-head, and then at Kira. She smiled and closed her eyes.
3rd Chapter: "Memories. Ghosts of lost love"
"He...kissed me" Kira blushed and touched her lips.
"Well, not really. He gave you CPR, but you can say it was a kiss." Temari winked at the blushing girl.
"Kira, why are you blushing" Tenten asked, and Kira blushed harder
"Uh-oh, looks like Kira has her first crush" Ino squealed
"Oh my god Kira, your first crush" Laura squealed also and gave Kira a big hug.
"I can't believe that Gaara is your first crush" Sakura also gave Kira a hug.
"And judging from the way he acted he must at least like you. Gaara never saved someone's life" Temari said "I'm so happy for you" she gave Kira a hug.
"U...USO" All the girls looked at the women that were on the other side of the room.
"You kissed him." Alana teased
"Yes you did." Kurenai giggled
"I...can't...believe it..." Tsunade cried chibi tears
"What happened to them" Kira asked the girls who were hugging her.
"Hokage-sama was so drunk, and kissed Jiraya-sama." Hinata sweat dropped "I think that Hokage-sama scared me out of drinking for a long time."
"Don't you look happy today Hinata-chan" Laura teased
"W...why do you say that" Hinata backed away slightly and blushed
"Your crush carried you around today, and he even bandaged you" Laura pointed to Hinata's hand. The other girls 'ooh-ed' and 'aah-ed', while Hinata blushed harder.
"So, Naruto finally noticed you" Ino giggled "Guess he finally noticed that miss. Forehead here is not worth his attention."
"Hey, shut up" Sakura screeched and pounced on Ino, starting a fight.
"By the way, Kira. You said you used to live here..." Tenten started, and Kira nodded
"Yes. Before Itachi attacked, Laura and I lived here with our parents, Alana and her younger sister." Kira said and heard Alana's growling.
Laura looked at Alana with a worried look "She still didn't forgive her..." she thought and sighed
"Alana-san has a sister" Temari asked, slightly curious
"Yes. Her name is Tara. She and Alana loved each other the way Laura and I love each other. Tara-san fell in love with Itachi-san, and he loved her to. On that fateful day, Itachi attacked our house hold. He killed mine and Laura's parents, but kept us alive. Tara-san, Alana-sensei, Laura-oneesan and I were in one room. Itachi then came and asked Tara to choose between us and him..." Kira stopped for a second, not sure if she should continue.
"W...who did she chose" Hinata hesitated slightly
"Itachi." Laura said instead of her sister. The rest of the girls were silent, and you could practically hear everyone thinking "Poor Alana"
Suddenly, Alana got up from where she was sitting, letting the plastic glass that was in her lap fall to the floor.
"Alana" Kurenai looked worriedly at Alana.
"I'm going for a walk." Alana hissed and walked out, slamming the door behind her.
Alana thought back to when she first saw Tara and Itachi in each others arms, and even though she wanted to smile, she hid it.
-FLASHBACK-
A younger Alana sneaked around the gardens. She hid behind a bush and looked at her younger sister who was sparing with Itachi. Tara was beautiful; she had black hair going to her shoulders and black eyes. She wielded the Sharingan well, Itachi thought her how. Tara had a black sleeveless t-shirt with a shirt that was like a net over the black one. She had black pants and normal ninja sandals (Those weird blue ones)
"Ha" Tara yelled when she threw a rain of kunai's on Itachi. But he jumped back, letting the kunai's hit the ground instead. But Tara then threw shurinkens at him, and one managed to slash his left cheek, letting a small drop of blood fall to the earth. "What do you think now Itachi-san" Tara smirked.
Itachi touched his cheek and looked at the blood. He, too, smirked. "You're better than before, but you still need a lot of work..." he then disappeared and appeared behind Tara "...if you plan on defeating me." He then hit her and send her crashing in to a near by wall.
Tara didn't even have time to catch her breath, when Itachi pined her against the wall. He gently traced a finger on her right cheek, and Tara felt a small amount of pain. "Looks like I'm not the only one who has a cut." Itachi said and looked at her. He then gently traced his finger on her lips, making her gasp.
"What are you..." Tara blushed
"Shush..." Itachi cupped her chin and moved closer to her until their faces were inches apart.
"Itachi, don't..." Tara started before she completely lost her voice.
"It's stronger than me..." he then gently kissed her.
Tara hesitated before she kissed him back. His hands wrapped around her waist, and she placed her hands on his chest. Itachi hungrily pried her mouth open and let his tongue explore her mouth. Tara let him take control of her, she enjoyed being in his arms and she enjoyed his kisses. After a minute, Itachi broke the kiss and looked in to her eyes. He smirked when he saw her blush and kissed her again, more passionate and demanding than the last time.
Alana blushed when she saw them kissing and looked away. She cursed her nosiness and sneaked away.
-END FLASHBACK-
After that Alana almost never saw them separated. They were always together; even on that day when Tara betrayed her...She frowned and let a small tear fall from her eye.
-FLASHBACK-
"Mom, dad" chibi Laura cried, but Alana dragged her away from the horrifying scene.
"Lets go, it's not safe here" she ordered and dragged her and Kira to Tara's room, the only place that was safe. She pushed the two in Tara's room, and tightly shut the door.
"Sister, what is going on" Tara sat up on the bed she was napping on before they barged in.
"Itachi is killing everyone! He killed Aunt Funaho, Aunt Leila and their husbands" Alana growled and ignored the two crying girls.
"N...no! You're lying! He would never..." Tara defended him
"Well he did! Get over it" Alana barely kept herself from bursting in to tears. She loved Aunt Funaho and Aunt Leila.
Then the door burst open, sending Alana crashing in to a near by wall. Alana growled and quickly got up, standing between the attacker and the three younger girls. Standing on the other side of the door was Itachi. Alana hissed at him, and Laura and Kira cried harder.
"Get away from us or I will be forced to hurt you Itachi" Alana hissed and griped her kunai harder.
"I did not come to kill you." He answered "I have come for Tara." He then looked at the girl behind Alana.
"You can't have her" Alana hissed again, but then Tara walked past her and stood between her and Itachi. "Tara, come back"
"Why did you kill everyone" Tara asked casually, a hint of fright in her voice.
"To see what I was capable of." He answered casually and offered her his hand. "Tara-kun, come with me and I promise we will always be together."
"NO! Tara, don't listen to him! He is a bastard who killed our entire clan; he killed his own family, what makes you think he loves you? He'll just use advantage of you and throw you away like a rag doll" Alana's screaming was interrupted by Tara's slap. Alana was frozen for a second, her eyes wide. She put a hand on her aching cheek and turned to stare at Tara "Tara
"Itachi loves me and I love him! You're just jealous because I found my true love! I thought you of all people would understand" Tara said thru tears. She then turned away and walked towards Itachi.
"No, Tara, please" Alana tried to take Tara's hand, but Itachi used his chakra to push her away.
"Leave us alone." He said quietly as Tara stood next to him "And be lucky you are alive." He took Tara's arm and they both disappeared in to the night.
-END FLASHBACK-
"Traitor..." Alana hissed silently, tears already making a small puddle on the floor. She touched her left cheek, remembering how hard Tara slapped her. The pain was still there, she could feel it.
Kakashi left the room where the males where locked up. It was already crazy in there, so he decided to take a walk. As soon as he exited the room, he saw Alana, her face hidden with her hair, and tears trickled down her jaw line on to the floor.
"Alana" she looked up at him. Her eyes were red, she activated the Sharingan. It was a sign that she was either in battle mode or that something upset her badly. "What's wrong Alana" he asked again and walked next to her. As soon as he was by her side, she jumped in to his arms, sobbing.
Kakashi looked at her frail figure. She shock with every sob, and he heard her mutter "She's a traitor".
"So, you're thinking about your sister again." He concluded. She didn't say anything, just sobbed harder. Kakashi sighed and gave her a comforting hug. "You have to realize that it was Tara's choice. Between family and love, she chose love." He said as he soothingly petted her hair.
"But I miss her so much. I loved her so much. But she went with that killer." Alana sobbed into his chest.
"She loved him. And it seemed that he loved her." Kakashi said and Alana looked at him. She then softly pressed her lips against his, not minding his mask at all.
"And you" she whispered against his lips "Do you love me"
Kakashi was silent, not sure how to answer. He just leaned his forehead against hers "You know." He whispered "There's no need telling you."
Alana moved her hands to remove Kakashi's mask, but a loud crash interrupted them both. They looked around and noticed that an unknown music started playing, but it didn't come from the rooms where everyone was. The doors to the boys and girls bedroom crashed open and scared faces looked around.
"Alana-sensei, did you her that" Laura quivered.
"Some weird music is playing" Naruto said, frightened.
But then everyone noticed that Alana was sitting in Kakashi's lap, and that they were holding each other, their faces inches apart. Kira and Hinata blushed and looked away, Laura got an eye twitch, the other girls and some of the boys cheered, while the rest of the boys sweat dropped.
"Why...you..." Laura got an anime vein bulging on her forehead "...PERVERTS" Laura then charged at Alana (a/n: she won't harm Kakashi, because he isn't her sensei), and Alana felt her playfulness coming back. Alana turned in to a cat and the two caused a giant commotion.
Everyone was in the living room. It was somewhere around 1 am, and everyone decided that with no one knowing where that music was coming from, everybody should be in the same place. Alana, Kurenai and Tsunade were on the couch, already knocked out. Jiraya was sleeping against a wall, Kakashi was sleeping on the rug, Asuma was leaning against the sofa and sleeping, Gai was leaned on the wall and sleeping.
The girls brought pillows and blankets from upstairs and shared them with the boys (Who forgot theirs -). Laura and Sasuke were sharing a lounge chair and had a blanket over them, Laura on Sasuke's lap. Sakura and Ino were pissed about this, but fell asleep sharing a blanket, Tenten fell asleep on the floor, sharing a blanket with Temari, Kankuro was using his puppets as a pillow, Neji was also leaning against the sofa, Lee was leaned on the wall next to Gai, Shikamaru was leaning against the wall with a blanket draped over him, Hinata was lucky to share a blanket with Naruto, but he was not a peaceful sleeper so she had most of the blanket, Chouji was sleeping with a bag of chips in his hand(a/n-;), Kira was sleeping alone an another lounge chair tucked in a blanket, and Gaara was not sleeping, but was merely leaned against her lounge chair and resting his eyes.
It was very peaceful, until the music started again. No one heard it because everyone was fast asleep. No one except for Kira and Gaara.
Kira slowly got up from the lounge chair, and looked around. Everyone was asleep. She looked at Gaara, he seemed to be asleep too (a/n: She doesn't' know that he can't sleep). She listened to the music and walked out of the room, her blanket dragging behind her.
Gaara opened his eyes and looked at where Kira went suspiciously, before he got up and followed her.
Kira hummed to the song as she walked thru the empty halls of the large house. She pressed her ear against each door, checking if the music was coming from that room. Gaara followed her, curios of where she was going. She soon went to the second floor and looked up at the door that led to the attic. She grabbed the small piece of string that was hanging from the door and pulled on it. The door opened and a ladder went down. Kira climbed the ladder and went in to the attic, Gaara followed.
The attic was old and dusty. There was one large window that was showing the sky. On the floor were boxes, toys and musical instruments.. And there was a music box that was playing the song that freaked everyone out. It looked like it fell from a small night table, and it opened. Gaara jumped in and hid behind an old sofa. He felt another human aura, and stayed on guard
Kira took a small flute and looked at it with admiration, not noticing a hidden pair of red/black eyes piercing in to her back. She then got up and closed the music box and sat down on the old sofa, not aware that Gaara was behind her. She looked at it for another second before she opened it, and the music started again. In a second she began to sing (A/n: This song is from Hunter x Hunter, OVA2 opening)
"Donna yume nara oikakeru no?
Kimi ga tsubayaki mitaini iu.
Tooi saki data mirai wa ima
Subu soba wo hashitte yuku
Mienai koe de sakendeta
Kizutsaita karada, ima tokashitai
Kono itami wa tada watashi wo kirisaite
Ashita wo uranau inori ga todokumade
I pray every night and day"
Gaara felt something behind him, and shifted his weight making the floor below him squeaked. Kira gasped and looked behind the sofa only to find a slightly pissed Gaara. Gaara cursed at the old wood, because Kira discovered him. And the thing he felt hid its chakra, so he couldn't sense it anymore.
"G...Gaara-sama? W...what are you doing here, I saw you sleeping downstairs." Kira stuttered slightly, her cheeks lit up in a cute pink color.
Gaara stood up and looked at Kira "I followed you, and I don't sleep."
"Never? How come" she asked again.
"Inside of me lies a demon. If I go to sleep, he will take over me and go on a killing spree." Gaara answered and crossed his arms.
"Oh, so that's it! You're the boy that has Shukaku in him" Kira concluded rather happily. Gaara stared at her, slightly confused at her reaction. "Sasuke-san said something about a sand demon, but I didn't quite understand him" Kira then got up from the sofa and started circling around Gaara, muttering 'I see' under her breath.
Gaara looked at her, completely confused by her actions. She was circling around him, with a small smile and a she looked like she was thinking. A normal person would quiver away in fear, or would at least show some signs of alarm around him. But she looked at him like he was the most interesting thing she saw.
"I see" Kira giggled and stood in front of Gaara "You are very interesting" she then jumped on the sofa, raising a small cloud of dust, making her wheeze slightly.
"What's so interesting" Gaara asked curiously.
"I heard many stories about you, and you are nothing like I imagined." She said and put a finger on her chin "People described you as a merciless monster, but you don't look like one." She then closed her eyes "Whatsoever, you look like a normal boy"
Gaara sat next to her, and she opened her eyes to look at him. "Your name is Kira, right" he asked, and she nodded. "Kira-kun, what were you singing earlier"
Kira looked at her hands that were in her lap, a small sad smile on her lips "That was a song my mother sang to me. She was killed with my father, aunt and uncle by Itachi when I was seven." She hugged her legs and rested her chin on her knees. The figure that was with them on the attic tensed at the name 'Itachi'. There was a small silence before Kira spoke up again "Do you mind if I sing"
Gaara shock his head "Iye." (a/n"Iye" or "lie" means "no" on Japanese). After a few seconds, Kira started singing again, but this time a new song. (A/n: Opening song from Rah Xephon)
"Soredemo, ittai kono boku ni
Nani ga dekirette iunda?
Kyuukutsu na hakoniwa no genjutsu
Wo kaeru tameni naniga dekiruno
Jinsei no hanbun mo boku wa mada ikitenai
Sakaratte, dakiatte
Muishiki ni kizamareteyuki keiken no tattoo
Gakepucchi ni tatasareta toki
Kunan ga boku no ude wo tsukami
Jibun jishin no arika ga hajimete mietanda
Motto hiroi field he motto
Fukai ookina dokokae
Yosou mo tsukanai sekai e mukatte yuku dake
It's calling me again
Boku wa, boku no koto ga shiritai"
Kira took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She still hummed the song. All of a sudden, she jumped from the sofa and bounced in front of Gaara, a wide and happy smile on her lips. Gaara looked at her strangely.
"Gaara-sama! Do you know any songs" she asked and made him even more confused (a/n: If possible)
"E...excuse me" Gaara looked at her like she was mad.
"Aw, come on! You have to know at least one song" Kira giggled and jumped back next to him "A child song, or lullaby maybe"
Gaara was silent, not sure if he should even answer a ridicules question as that. But something in this girls smile made him warm inside, and he had to answer her because if he didn't, that warm smile would fade away. "There was lullaby..." he slowly started
"How does it go" Kira asked again
"I don't remember well...I don't remember who sang it to me either." Gaara answered as he tried to recall his childhood, but only sad memories got back.
"Please, just try. I wanna hear it." Kira begged, and Gaara quieted down for a second. He looked at her smile again and felt all those sad memories fade away. He remembered the words of the song slowly. He took a deep breath and started singing
"Yuki ga furu
Shizukana Lullaby utau awai yokogao
Toji komerareta chiisana heya wa
Ai to yoberu kiga shiteiru.
Kotoba mo iranakute
Omoide ga yawaraide
Yasuragi nante shiranai kedo
Ichiban sokoni chikai bashode nemuritai dake
Anata no sobani iru
Yuki ga furu
Shizukana Lullaby
Sotto yoru wo uzumete
Kanashii kotowa shiritakunaino
Dakara zutto utatteite
Yoakega kurumade
Zutto kono mama..."
Gaara looked at Kira when he finished the song. Her head was slightly leaning on his shoulder, her eyes were closed. It was obvious that the lullaby was a good one, sent her right to sleep. On her lips was a small smile, a warm-hearting smile. Gaara felt himself smile slightly, as he never met a person like her, who didn't treat him like a monster, who wasn't afraid of him, who wanted to be friends to him. For some strange reason, Gaara liked her.
Gaara looked at the music box that was in her arms. He took it from her and opened it. The music didn't wake Kira, so Gaara listened to it. She was singing to that music, and he remembered what it was about. (a/n: This is the translation of the first song, the HxH OVA2 opening)
"What dreams will you pursue?
You seem to just mutter away the answers
The future which seemed so very distant
Is running alongside me now
Crying out to me in a voice that can't be heard
I want to melt away my scared body right now!
This pain within just tears me apart
And until my prayer which foretells the future is heard
I pray every night and day"
Then, Gaara saw a picture of Alana-san, Kira-kun, Laura-san and another girl being held in the music box. He observed it. They all seemed very happy. Unknown to him, a dark shadow that was hiding in the attic let a tear drop when it saw the picture and returned to the darkness. The three were completely oblivious to the chaos that was going on down where everyone was.
Laura woke up and looked at Sasuke who was inches away from her. She smiled and looked where Kira was sleeping. She looked at the lounge chair, only to find it empty. "Stay calm, stay calm." She looked all over the room but didn't find her.
"KIRA-KUN IS MISSING" A paranoid Laura screamed, waking up everyone in the room
"W...what? Kira-kun" Sasuke looked at Laura who was next to her, and when he heard the words 'Kira' and 'missing' being said together, all the sleep in him disappeared.
He shot up and looked around the room. Kira-kun was nowhere to be seen. He then cheeked where she was sleeping and remembered that Gaara was sleeping close to her, but he was also missing. He instantly got a bad feeling
"Gaara is missing too." He said, and Laura turned wide eyed
"It must be the ghost." Alana said, and everybody looked at her
"Ghost" everyone asked in the same time, and Alana nodded
"When we lived here, there was a ghost with blood red eyes." A light that came out of nowhere illuminated her face, making her look slightly freaky "She lost her loved one, and died of sadness. Her ghost haunts this place, and she finds people who show interest in each other and makes them in to couples, and protects them."
"So she is a good ghost" Sakura concluded
"But every couple that she protected died." Alana made a creepy face and everyone screeched. Suddenly, the light that illuminated her face disappeared, and Alana looked dumbfounded.
"Sensei, will you ever grow up" Laura growled as she held a flash-light in her hand.
"Hey it was a good story." Alana made a face, and everyone else sweat dropped.
"Enough of this! We need to find those two before something happens" Tenten said
"What could happen" Naruto asked her
"The ghost might get them" Alana said again, and again everyone sweat dropped
"There are no such things as ghosts" Tsunade said and marched to the hall, everyone else following. "We are just going to follow where the music is coming from, and we will find them" she hissed and opened a door. It was a closet and a skeleton fell out of it, and everyone screamed and ran back to the living room.
"Gaara-sama, what was that" Kira yawned.
"It's nothing. Go back to sleep." Gaara said, frowning at the noise coming from downstairs.
"Ok Gaara-sama." Kira murmured and leaned back on Gaara's shoulder, immediately falling asleep.
"T...that was scary." Naruto fell down on his but next to Sasuke.
"How could I let myself get carried away like that" Sasuke growled at himself.
"Alana..." Tsunade gave Alana a deadly look "How many creepy stuff do you have in this house anyway"
"And what's the deal with that skeleton" Ino asked
"Why would you keep a skeleton in the closet anyway" Shikamaru complained.
"People, people, quit attacking Alana-sensei like that will you" Laura stood in Alana's defense "My father was not a ninja, he was from Finland. So he was giving biology classes, so that's why the skeleton was in the closet." She said "And Kira's dad used to make special effects for the movies. So there is still some old gear hanging around. And remember..." Laura glared at her sensei "...there are no such things as ghosts"
"Ok then. Let's go to the attic." Kakashi said
"Why the attic" Gai asked his 'rival'
"Because it seems that the music is coming from there." Kakashi answered
"Kakashi, I think you are wrong! The music is coming from the basement" Gai made silly gestures with his hand
"You said something" Kakashi asked Gai
"HA! You are so hip! And that is why you are my greatest rival" Gai pointed an accusing finger at Kakashi and his teeth sparkled, making some people sweat drop.
After about 15 minutes of arguing, the group made it half way towards the attic. Everyone felt chills going down their spleens, the place was incredibly spooky. It was very dark; the only things head beside the music were the staircase squeaking and their rapid breathing. The moon was in a mood to play around with the shadows, turning them in to scary monsters and weird creatures.
"Tsunade-san, are you scared" Jiraya grinned, and Tsunade sneered
"M...me? No way, why should I be scared" Tsunade humped
Jiraya looked at her neck and gently traced his finger against it "You have goose bumps"
As soon as his cold finger touched the back of Tsunades neck, Tsunade screamed in horror, making everybody else scream as well. Tsunade grabbed Jiraya and ran to the nearest room, while everyone else ran in their own direction (A/n: The one who tells me from which anime I took this scene from will get a cookie!)
Gaara groaned when he heard those idiots screaming again. Kira was again woken up and was looking at Gaara sleepily.
"Gaara-sama, what was that" Kira murmured "And I know it's not nothing"
"It's just those idiots downstairs." Gaara growled, slightly pissed.
"Well then, let's go see why they are screaming" Kira said "They must be looking for us, and found that skeleton in the closet" she grinned and got up. "C'mon Gaara-sama" She pulled Gaara and made him stand up.
"Fine." He humped and followed her out of the attic.
"Sasuke-san, where are we" Laura squeaked meekly. The two of them got scared when Hokage-sama screamed and they ran in to a room, closing the door. The room was completely black.
"I don't know. Wait, I think I feel a candle." He then moved, but Laura didn't see him. In a second, the room lit up in a weak light, and Laura saw Sasuke holding a candle. The room they were in looked familiar. It looked like it belonged to a child. There was one bed with a night table next to it, a small desk with many books and papers, with toys and clothing sprawled all over the floor and thick drapes over the window. It was colored in a baby-blue color
"Wait a second...this room..." Laura walked over to the night table and picked up a picture that was on it. "...It's my room."
Tenten looked around the half lit room. The only light that was coming was the one from outside. She noticed a figure that looked kinda familiar "Neji"
"Tenten, is that you" it was Neji
"Hai! Damn, that was scary" Tenten fell to the floor and put a hand to her heart.
"Yeah, it was." He sat next to her "Hokage-sama sure screams loud."
Tenten giggled "Yeah, she does." She then yawned.
"Are you sleepy" Neji looked at her and Tenten blushed
"Well...a little..." she looked at her feet
"Then sleep. I'm sure those baka's wont miss us." He smirked slightly and Tenten giggled.
Tenten leaned on Neji's shoulder and closed her eyes. "Arigato, Neji-kun." She murmured as he put his hand around her shoulder and she instantly fell asleep, blushing and not noticing the smile that played on Neji's features.
"Hinata, are you ok" Naruto asked as he helped Hinata who fell right in to a room up.
"I'm such a klutz" Hinata thought while blushing heavily "I...I'm ok, don't worry about me, N...Naruto-kun..."
"Hokage-baba screamed like someone was killing her" Naruto complained "She scared the hell out of me"
Hinata giggled slightly at the memory of Naruto screaming and running around until he was pushed in to a room, taking her along with him and knocking her over.
Naruto looked at her "Wow! I've never heard you laugh before" he exclaimed loudly "It sounds so cute"
"R...really" Hinata blushed 10 shades of red
"Really-really! You should laugh more often" He said rather loudly
"A...arigato Naruto-kun." Hinata smiled and looked at her feet. She tried to walk, but she sprained her left ankle slightly and winced when she stepped on that leg.
"Hinata, are you ok" Naruto instantly held her up, making sure she wouldn't fall.
"I...I'm alright; don't worry about a silly klutz like me." Hinata blushed as Naruto lead her to a bed that was in the room. As soon as Hinata sat on it, she fell thru it like she fell thru jelly.
"Wow! A water bed" Naruto laughed happily and jumped on to the bed, making big waves. Hinata laughed as Naruto jumped on the bed, making it move like jelly and making her move and fall deeper in to the bed. "C'mon Hinata, join the fun" Naruto laughed loudly as he fell deeper in to the bed.
Hinata laughed louder as the bed almost completely absorbed Naruto. Completely forgetting about her ankle, she stood up on the bed and jumped, making waves when she landed that pushed Naruto out of the hole that he made. Naruto jumped again, and the jell-o bed-o (a/n: Jell-o Bed-o ((Snickers)) Neko-chan made that one) made waves and pushed him on top of Hinata.
Hinata laughed with Naruto when he landed on her. "This is fun" She exclaimed rather loudly before she noticed that Naruto was looking at her. "W...what's wrong" she asked, and he answered with a yawn.
"I'm sleepy." He said; his eyes half closed. He then lied next to Hinata and simply draped one arm over her. "Lets sleep here, it's not like anyone will miss us."
Hinata blushed, a smile on her lips "Alright." She said and Naruto closed his eyes. Hinata too closed her eyes and relaxed completely. After a few seconds, she heard Naruto again
"Hinata"
"What is it Naruto-kun"
"Goodnight."
"...goodnight"
"Baka, baka, baka" Tsunade started hitting Jiraya over and over again, but he just grinned.
"You were scared" he grinned
Tsunade blushed with fury and started hitting him again "BAKA"
"How troublesome..." Shikamaru groaned
"How convenient" Temari grinned and fell down, holding her ankle. "Ooh"
"Temari, what's wrong" Shikamaru ran to her side.
"I...I think I twisted my ankle when we fell in to this room." She sounded helpless, but it was all a trap to capture Shikamaru
"Let me see." Shikamaru looked at her leg, and lifted an eyebrow "It looks normal to me..." he said and looked at her, but then noticed the seducing look she was giving him. He sweat dropped slightly and tried to inch away, but Temari grabbed him by his collar and pulled him in to a breathtaking kiss.
"Whoa" Shikamaru said when Temari broke the kiss.
"Shikamaru..." she gave him another seducing look "Let's stay here for the night...please"
"I...I...I..." Shikamaru stuttered, his eyes almost popping out of his head.
"Pllleeeaaaassseee" she winked and Shikamaru blushed heavily.
"A...alright" he answered, and Temari jumped up and glomped him. Shikamaru sighed "You're so troublesome." He muttered.
"The power of youth will protect us" Gai said while looking just plain silly.
"Oh, Gai-sensei" Lee started to cry chibi tears, and Chouji, Kankuro, Kiba, Sakura and Ino sweat dropped. Shino just stayed silent, but he was cracking up inside.
"They are pathetic" Kankuro sweat dropped
"No shit Sherlock." Kiba answered then he turned to Chouji "Would you stop getting those damned potato crumbs all over me" Chouji didn't say anything, but continued eating.
"Sasuke-kun? Where is Sasuke" Sakura looked around in panic.
"Sasuke-kun? Sasuke-kun" Ino looked around, turning slightly scared. Kiba noticed the panic raising in the two girls and grinned
"You think maybe the ghost got him" Kiba asked, barely containing himself from laughing
"OH NO! SASUKE-KUN" The two girls screamed together
"Don't worry Sakura-san! I will protect you" Lee cried chibi tears and sent a kiss towards Sakura, and she screamed as the chibi heart came closer. She jumped away and the heart disappeared.
"Don't be foolish." Shino spoke up "I saw him fall in to a room with that new girl, Laura."
"OH NO, THAT'S EVEN WORSE" the girls screamed again
"Kakashi, I refuse to stay in this room." Alana stated firmly.
"It's too dangerous to go outside. Who knows why Tsunade-sama screamed." Kakashi said while reading his 'Icha, Icha paradise'
"I don't care" Alana growled.
"Maybe she saw a massacred body of a young teenager couple that came here for a little romance, but got killed by an evil ghost" Kakashi said as he closed his book.
"D...don't joke like that." Alana stuttered slightly as she saw that image in her head.
"Or maybe, she saw a big, nasty, yucky, grouse, flesh eating..." Kakashi stopped for a second, giving Alana a serious look "...cockroach."
At the word 'cockroach' Alana screamed. If there was one thing she hated, it was cockroaches. She had nightmares of big, nasty, yucky, grouse and flesh eating cockroaches eating her family when she was younger, and she had a phobia since then, that Kira and Laura also seemed to share with her.
Alana jumped in Kakashi's arms and hid her head in his chest, her eyes wide opened. Kakashi made a happy face; he knew Alana well, and he knew that cockroaches scare the shit out of her (A/n: Sorry, I couldn't find a more appropriate word -)
Alana looked at Kakashi when she calmed down a bit, and gave a shaky smile, which Kakashi returned. In the complete darkness, where no one could see them, Alana took Kakashi's mask off and kissed him. She didn't care that she couldn't see his face; all that she cared about right now was that she finally felt his lips on hers. Her childhood dream was now fulfilled.
-FLASHBACK-
Chibi Alana looked shyly at chibi Kakashi. "Ano...Kakashi-san..."
"Eh" he looked at her
Alana blushed heavily and bowed, offering him a small flower. "T...this is for you" she stuttered
Kakashi stared at her, slightly surprised. He took the flower from her hand and looked at it. "A...arigato."
Alana blushed harder as she looked at him. She quickly kissed his mask-covered cheek. She then turned around and started to run, but Kakashi caught her hand. "Hey, where are you going" he asked
"I...I...well..." she blushed.
"Please stay." He pleaded "I'm bored."
"O...ok..." Alana smiled shyly. For a second, she wanted to kiss him on his lips, but she knew that she needed to wait a bit more before that happened.
-END FLASHBACK-
Kurenai sighed and looked around. She felt as if something pushed her and Asuma in to this room. "The ghost maybe" she quickly threw that thought away "There are no such things as ghosts"
"Kurenai, daijowu ka" Asuma asked, and Kurenai was grateful for the dark that was hiding her blush.
"Hai, I'm ok." She answered "What do you think happened"
"I'm not sure, but I think Jiraya scared Tsunade, and that her screaming freaked us all out." Then both of them laughed.
"They're hopeless." Kurenai muttered.
"By the way, you still didn't tell why you were blushing in the hot springs." Asuma said, grinning just slightly
"None of your business" Kurenai blushed and humped.
"Was it because of Gai" Asuma stifled his laugh when he saw Kurenai start to choke.
"Are you insane" she screamed slightly.
"Well then because of whom did you blush" he grinned and took the cigar out of his mouth.
"Like I said, it's none of your..." Kurenai screamed, but this time she was interrupted by Asuma. He pressed his lips against hers. He broke the kiss and Kurenai blushed "ALRIGHT! It was because of you" she yelled and turned around.
"I'm flattered." He said and turned her around to face him, then kissed her again.
"Ano...where is everybody" Kira asked as she and Gaara looked around the living room. It was completely empty.
"I don't know." Gaara said silently. Suddenly, they heard a crash. Kira let out a small squeak and griped Gaara's arm. Gaara instantly got into a defense position and looked around. Then he saw that it was just a door that the wind most probably closed with a crash.
"Gaara-sama...I'm scared." Kira said "I was always scared of this house when it was dark." She hid behind Gaara's arm and he looked at her.
"Why" he questioned.
"Because when I was little, when I tried to get out of my room at night, I felt something around me. It always scared me, and gave me nightmares. It was like someone was touching my shoulder or playing with my hair...I felt hands, icy hands everywhere on my body...they were holding me, as if wanting me to save them, to drag them out of some hell they were in." her voice seemed to quiver slightly "Then I would hear children laughing, sometimes they would cry, but it was scary no matter what."
"Sprits. Restless spirits that are trapped between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Souls of people who died before their time." Gaara said softly "I read a book about that once. Maybe...maybe someone was murdered here." He said and then he felt a cold wind. Kira squeaked and hid her face in Gaara's arm and trembled because of the cold wind.
Kira then walked to the sofa, dragging Gaara behind her. She then let go of his arm and sat on the sofa. "Demo, I think that who ever upset me before, will not dare to touch me now." She smiled "Because I have Sabaku no Gaara by my side."
Gaara felt his ego grow a little, and smirked. He sat next to her. "Go back to sleep." He said.
"Can you sing me that lullaby again? Please Gaara-sama" she pleaded and gave him the sweetest smile. Gaara felt himself warm up and sighed in defeat. Kira smiled and rested her head on his shoulder, as he started singing.
"Yuki ga furu
Shizukana Lullaby..."
Sasuke and Laura laughed. They were both sitting on the bed, remembering stuff from when they were younger.
"Your cooking was terrible back then" Sasuke laughed, and Laura punched him playfully
"You're the one who's terrible" she pouted playfully.
"But it's true! Kira and I got a serious stomach ache after eating the gooey thing..." Sasuke started
"It was miso ramen" Laura pouted again, and Sasuke petted her hair.
"Oh c'mon, don't be angry La-chan." Sasuke smirked
"It's your fault, Sa-chan." Laura returned the smirk, and the two calmed down. Sasuke lied down on the bed, his hands behind his head and closed his eyes, and Laura lied on her side, next to him
"Sasuke..."
"Hmm" he opened his eye and looked at her.
"Do you...by any chance..." Laura started, blushing slightly "Ah, never mind! It's stupid anyway." She blushed again
"What" Sasuke asked as he turned to face her.
"Do you by any chance remember this promise that you made to me" she asked, her cheeks turning redder. Sasuke thought for a second, trying to remember.
-FLASHBACK-
"Ne, La-chan..." a 7 year old Sasuke started, looking at his best friend.
Laura, also seven years old, looked away from the small pond the two were next to. "What is it, Sa-chan"
Sasuke sighed and lied on the soft grass "I've been thinking. Since we both, you know, like each other so much, maybe when we grow up, we should get married." He said.
Laura gave him a confused look "M...married" she blushed slightly, and Sasuke nodded. "Demo Sa-chan, what if you change your feelings when we grow up"
"I doubt it." He answered
"But you never know! You have so many fans already; maybe you will fall in love with some of them..." Laura said sadly, and Sasuke sat up again, looking rather serious.
"I will not" he stated angrily "Laura, I seriously doubt that I might find someone who I will like as much as I like you" he stated and gave her a hug, making her blush. "Grown up people might say that I don't know what love is, but I know what it is." He then looked at her "Love is something that I feel towards you."
"S...Sasuke..." Laura blushed madly and Sasuke let her go and stood up.
"La-chan, I want to be with you" he said, and put a hand to his chest "I promise to marry you when we grow older! I give you my word as an Uchiha! Do you, Laura Yloonen, accept my promise" he asked
Laura blushed slightly and stood up also. "I accept it." She smiled "But you better keep it"
"Don't worry, I will." Sasuke smirked slightly
-END FLASHBACK-
"Yes...that promise..." Sasuke thought as he looked at Laura. He gave her a grin "Well, I made a promise, I can't break it now can I" he smirked.
"S...Sasuke" Laura smiled
"Even though we have not seen each other for a long time, I still think that my feelings stayed the same. I think it's because of you that I didn't look at Sakura or Ino." He smirked again.
"I'm glad." Laura said, putting a hand to her heart, and closing her eyes in relief. She felt Sasuke move and opened her eyes to see Sasuke in a sitting position, his face above hers. He gently touched her cheek, and she blushed. He slowly moved closer to her "Sasuke-san, what..."
"Shhh..." he shushed her and she blushed harder.
Their faces were millimeters apart, and in a second, Sasuke gently kissed her. It was a shy first kiss that lasted for only a few seconds, but it woke up the butterflies in Sasuke's and Laura's stomachs. Sasuke then lied next to her again and embraced her. Laura placed her hands on Sasuke's chest, and Sasuke petted her hair.
"Goodnight, La-chan..."
"Goodnight, Sa-chan..."
"How I missed this house." The mysterious figure thought. "You can come out now." She said, and a young man with red eyes that matched hers came out of the darkness. (A/n: I think all of you Naruto fans know who this hottie is ((wink)))
"I knew that you would notice me." He said and embraced the girl from behind, kissing her neck, and she laughed in delight.
"So, when are we gonna show up" she asked.
"We will play with them a little more." He said
"Moah. You know that I'm anxious to see everyone" she pouted playfully, and he turned her around to face him. He gave her a passionate kiss.
"Be patient my angel." He whispered "Be patient."
"It's Kira-chan again! In the next chapter, everyone wakes up and the mayhem begins! Laura-oneesan and Sasuke-onnichan are together now, but it seems that Ino and Sakura are against it. Huh? Why is Gaara-sama so protective all of a sudden? And what is this chakra I feel. Its familiar...Next chapter: 'Wake up! The real mayhem starts now!' I think Gaara-sama likes me"
Neko-chan: This is one very long and very fluffy chappie!
Me: Kyaa! because I wont be able to update that often, I decided to make a longer one
Neko-chan: A very long one if you ask me.
GothicAngel: When am I gonna show up?
DarkMagicianGirl: Be patient.
Me: Didn't you notice? You were in this chapter a little.
GothicAngel: ((Reads chapter again)) what do you know, I am in this chapter.
Neko-chan: ((Suddenly a big chocolate bar appears in her hand)) It's time to get chocolate high, because we need to be insane for the next chapter!
All four: YEEHAW! ((They all dig in to the chocolate))
