Ok, so I left you cliffhangin' again… I'm such a tease, ain't I? well, here it is!
Passage, chpt3The Bandits where frozen solid before the Blond ninja standing before her.
«Well, what are you waiting for to give me a proper apology? » she said in an annoyed voice. She slowly unslung a large fan from her back. It was about 5 foot tall, was white and three red dots where seen on the silk.
« It's the Sabaku sister! The Kazekage,s twin! If we feather her now, we'll get triple Sake ration! » one of them said.
Without further talk, and completely forgeting about the other group, they drew tachis and charged the woman. They where, however, met by their doom.
« Kazetachi no jutsu! »
three Blades of energy where sent forward and the bandits where literally cut to pieces. Strangely, the girl reminded them of Kagura, the wind sorceress.
« Temari-sensei… we could have handled them! » one of the genins complained.
« maybe, but I was just dying to test those new arrangements on my fan.. »
She turned towards the group.
« so, you guys managed to pick a fight with the Black Vipers? » She said in a bored voice.
« excuse us, Temari-san. We -» Miroku started.
« That would be temari-sama. » she corrected.
« Sama? You're some kinda mistress? »
The genins took a very offensed look.
« How dare you! Our sensei is the sister of the Kazekage! » one of them bellowed.
« so what! I could take her…. » Inuyasha started.
« SIT BOY! »
and you know the rest.
Suddenly, Sango snapped to attention and knelt down, as anyone would do for royalty. Everyone followed suit, but looked puzzled and shot confused looks at the Demon Exterminator.
« Finally. You guys get it. Dang, it took you long enough. Team, I want you to deliver this(she handed a scroll to one of the genins) to Gaara. We will receive those ousiders in Sunagakure in three days. My Brother will help them cross the desert past that. Okay? »
The genins nodded and took off.
« excuse me, Temari-sama, but why all this attention? I mean, we are nothing but a group of fair adventurers. » Miroku stated.
Temari shrugged.
« well, I guess I just like you guys. But, I will do that at one condition. » she said in a mysterious tone.
« May we ask what? » Shippo said Innocently.
« erm… Make that two. 1 : that little foxy is just toooooo cute to let go, and 2 : my brother said something about the 'shikon no tama' or whatever. He described me The young bearer; Kagome. He sent me here to covertly investigate you guys. We know about that Naraku-bastard. We want you to thwart his plans. »
The group winced lightly. Naraku's dark reign expanded even here?.
« ok, if we wannaget to Suna before next week, we'll have to make fast. We leave with the dawn. Seeya! » and she disapeared in a puff of smoke.
The group fell silent. And everyone headed to the Inn without a word, because they where tired.
The next day, they started a harrowing journey into the desert. Yet, as they made their way to the city of Sunagakure, the wind seemed to grow more dim, and the sand was being replaced by rocky wastes.
-three days later-
So, the gang eventually made their way to suna. (no I ain,t writing about the trip because I can't think of anything fun happening during three days in the desert.).
« Okay, don't get lost, guys. Follow me to the Kazekage tower and everything will be fine. He's expecting us. » Temari said.
Kagome walked to the blonde Kunoichi.
« excuse my, Temari-sama… I haven't asked it yet, but how does Gaara-sama looks like? »
Temari paused for a second, looking for her words. The group snapped to attention, as needed as the information was.
« well, he's tall, has blood-red hair, deep emerald eyes, black fatigue pits under his eyes, and no, for future reference, it ain't eyeliner. He has a gourd strapped on his back and has the Kanji for 'love' cut in the flesh above his left eye. »
Kagome tried her best not to show any signs of emotions, but she was awestruck inside. Not only did the Kazekage sound like an Emo(thing she would think, nor say), but he fit the description of the man she saw in her dream!
They all headed to the Kage tower, unaware of the danger they would expose themselves to. Little did they know, an assasination attempt would be carried out this day…
TBC
Yes, another cliffie. Sorry guys. It's getting late and I gotta go to bed. Lookin' forward to your reviews!
