It was October 27th the day a large group of leaf village citizens headed towards the sand village for their annual Halloween party, escorted by 16 shinobi.
I'm bouncing around my apartment gathering everything I could need for the trip excited to explore the world beyond the walls of the village. I grab the beautiful wedding dress I found at the thrift store for $20, my prom-queen tiar, my silver ballet flats, and my white sequined masquerade mask. Putting them carefully in my suitcase with my clothes and toiletries.
I had about half an hour before I needed to meet the convoy at the front gate. I put my black waist-length hair into a high ponytail, put on my red kimono shirt with sakura blossoms petals all over it, and my black stretch finishing my outfit off with black walking tennis shoes.
I put my backpack on and grab my suitcase making sure to lock up before leaving. It took about ten minutes to get there, where I see roughly fifty commoners such as myself. There is a cart lead by horses to put our suitcases. I put mine in there keeping my backpack with me.
"Gather around please." I see a man with spiky white hair and a mask on ask obviously being the one in charge.
"We will be heading towards Suna in about five minutes, please make sure you have everything you need in your bag you carry with you as we will not being unpacking the cart until we get there." He adds as we all do as he asks.
"If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to anyone you see here where a Konoha headband." He finishes going back to talking to the other shinobi.
I stayed in the middle of the crowd not wanting to risk standing out or being talked to by other people. I wasn't antisocial necessarily, just shy. The holidays in the other villages were really the only time I was social when I wasn't at work.
We made it to Suna the night before Halloween. The trip was a long one but it was peaceful, the sand village, a beautiful sight to see.
"Okay group, we have made it, the Kazakage will be meeting us here shortly to give instructions." The leader said stopping us. On queue, there was a whirlwind of sand leaving a very handsome redhead with bright sea-foam green eyes standing where it dispersed.
"Hello, all, and welcome to Suna, the village hidden in the sand. I am Gaara the Kazakage, these are my older siblings Temari and Kankuro. Temari will be showing you the women and families to the side of the hotel they will be staying in as Kankuro will be showing the men. I do hope you all have a wonderful time tomorrow night and if you have any problems feel free to reach out to anyone with a sand village band on." With that, he left us in the care of his siblings.
I got to my hotel room ready to sleep for the night exhausted from the long trip. I slept until the next morning getting up, eating breakfast, and going to explore the village before getting ready for the party.
When I got back to my room, I took a shower putting my hair up in curlers after using a blow drying to quicken the drying process. I had about an hour left before the party started in the hotel's banquet hall.
I put on a thin line of black eyeliner, a coat of mascara, white glittery eyeshadow, and my dark berry red lipstick smacking my lips together once for effect.
I zip up the side of my white ball gown dress, looking at myself in the mirror sighing as I seeing the intricate silver beadwork that extenuates the semi-sweetheart neckline that makes my boobs look at least one size bigger.
I take out the curlers in my hair gently separating each one so they fall loosely down my back. I take my tiara putting it on, making sure it is straight an on the right spot on my head. Put on my beaded silver flats, dangling fake diamond earrings, a diamond-lined heart pendant my mother gave to me before she passed, and finishing my look up the white masquerade mask that went from the middle of my forehead to right under my cheekbones.
I look in the mirror taking a moment to believe that this beautiful princess looking back at me is really a plain-jane like myself. This was the one night of the year I could be anything I wanted and no one would question it.
I look at the clock seeing that the party had already started, I grab my silver clutch and rush to the stairs leading into the hall. I saw so many people already there knowing I was late or possibly right on time. What I didn't expect though is when I started to descend the stairs, all eyes were on me and the room was silent. Soon there were whispers about how beautiful I looked and people questioning who I was. I took the stairs slowly trying not to fall, but by the third step, the shinobi group leader was next to me offering his arm to help walk me down the stairs.
"Thank you, sir," I say quietly accepting the arm.
"You look stunning," he whispers back to me causing me to smile, blushing under the mask.
"Thank you, sir," I say embarrassed.
I let go of his arm when we landed on the lobby floor.
"You look amazing! Who are you?" I hear a shinobi with pink hair ask. I put my head down avoiding the question.
"Y-you look b-beautiful," another with purple-tinged hair shinobi commented.
"Thank you both," I whisper in response.
Gaara's POV
The Halloween party had just started, people seemed to be enjoying themselves, while Temari made me mingle. I had my back to the stairs but I noticed people stopped dancing and talking and were staring in the entree's direction. I turn around to see a sight that took my breath away just like everyone else in the room.
"There was a woman dressed like a queen descending the stairs. Her black curled hair cascaded down her shoulders framing the way her dress hugged her curves perfectly. She was absolutely stunning while I and everyone else just watched as Kakashi accompanied her down the stairs. A tinge of jealousy shot through me not sure if she was Kakashi's date, his partner, or just someone he was able to react fast enough to assist.
"That should be me," I growled internally.
"Who is that girl Temari," I ask once she had set foot on the hall's floor.
"I don't know but she is an absolute body of psychical perfection," Temari said still in awe.
"I want to know who she is, immediately," I say scowling over at my sister.
"I am off duty! If you want to know who she is then "grow a pair" and go talk to her yourself! I'm going to find Shika," she snapped at me walking away. I tried to do exactly that, pushing through the crowd to find her, people had started moving and talking again making it almost impossible. I got annoyed and used my sand eye to hover of the crowd in search of the woman. Even with my eye, I could not find her, I released my Jutsu and decided to push through the crowd again trying to find her but no one I saw even came close.
Normal POV
Everyone staring at me was too much. I rushed out the side door and now hid in the garden, sitting on a bench watching a fountain dispersing water into a koi fish pond, the moon reflecting brightly off of the water.
Gaara POV
I had given up trying to find the woman, in frustration, I left the party through a side door needing some air and space. I walked toward the garden and the sight before me made me stop in place. The woman in the white dress was sitting on a bench looking over the pond. The full mood gave her an angelic aura, making the tiara in her hair sparkle and her hair shine. I gained my composure and walked towards her, drawn by her presence.
Normal POV
"Are you not enjoying the party?" I hear a deep voice ask from next to me causing me to jump up.
"Oh, Kazakage-sama, it isn't like that at all! The party is stunning, I just needed some air. I'm sorry I'll return," I say bowing my head.
"Call me Gaara, stay out here with me a little while, and please stop bowing," I ask staring at her.
"Yes, Kaza...," I say standing up cutting off what I was going to say not feeling comfortable calling him just Gaara.
"It is a beautiful sight," I say continuing trying to fill the silence.
"It is indeed," I hear him say, not noticing him staring at me.
"Gaara-sama if I may say something," I ask quietly.
"Just Gaara and please do," he said turning towards me, causing me to turn towards him staring into his emerald eyes.
"I don't believe your daily attire counts as a Halloween costume, as the flyer said was required," I chuckle looking at him.
Gaara POV
"I don't believe your daily attire counts as a Halloween costume, as the flyer said was required," I hear her giggle which is like music to my ears, it even causes me to chuckle.
"I suppose you are right..." I say trying to get her name.
"Cinderella, tonight I am just Cinderella," she says giving me a sweet smile.
"Well Cinderella, I believe your costume is exquisite enough for both of us," I say taking in how she looks again.
"You think so? I found these at the thrift shop," she says patting down her skirt smirking.
"I sincerely do," I say loving the sound of her voice.
"Well, I will take your word for it. If I may once again, would you like to take a walk sir?" she asks looking back at me.
"Only if you stop with the formalities," I negotiate just wanting to hear my name come from her lips.
"Very well Gaara, I accept your terms," she says walking away from our spot.
Normal POV
Gaara and I just walk around the empty streets of Suna, not exchanging more than a couple of words of small talk. We ended up at his house which was magnificent, causing me to stare in awe, he invites me in, which I gladly accept.
"This is my room," he says opening two grand doors leading into a room twice the size of my apartment. I walked in without thinking looking around exploring the whole area with my eyes.
"It's amazing," I whisper taking in the king-size bed with red bedding and a canopy, giant windows covered with silk-like cloth which are just open enough to show a balcony outside them. A sitting room with a fireplace about 15 feet in front of the bed in its own area.
I am too entranced to notice Gaara walking up behind me.
"Ella," he whispers causing my legs to go weak, appreciating his shortened version of the name I gave him for myself more than Cinderella.
"Mhmm," I say closing my eyes feeling his body heat against my bare shoulders.
"I want to make you mine, will you allow me?" he asks causing me to turn and look at him, assuming he was joking. When my eyes met his gaze, there was no doubt he was serious.
"You have done this before?" I ask curiously.
"No," he says turning his gaze away from mine. His answer doesn't surprise me, I doubted becoming Kazakage at 14 left much time for activities such as this.
"On two conditions then," I say feeling like if he knew I was just a lowly tea maid not even from this village, someone that nothing special without hours of work like tonight he would change his mind.
"What would that be?." he asks not looking back at me.
"You cannot remove my mask and for tonight only, I make you mine," I say ready to leave if he didn't agree, knowing if he ever found out who and what I was the village leaders would be disgusted with him, something I never wished to cause.
"I accept your terms, Ella," he says before capturing my lips with his.
I bite his bottom lip gently running my tongue over it soon after. He opens his mouth slightly seeming to not be sure what to do, I put my hands behind his head pulling his closer exploring every crevis of his mouth with mine, somewhat fighting for dominance at the same time.
I pulled away smiling up at him as he is breathing a little harder, I pull him to the bed and push him onto it, climbing on top of him straddling his lap. I start kissing him again before putting my hand under his shirt running my hand over his soft skin.
I pull back to look at this beautiful specimen beneath me.
"Gaara, we don't have to do this," I say looking down at him, trying to give him as many outs as possible.
"I don't want to do anything else," I hear him say before capturing my lips with his. That was all I needed to hear. I kissed back quickly getting rid of his annoying shirt, I stared in shock.
"Oh my god, you are beautiful," I whisper as I trace the scar on his chest running my fingers down his slim stomach.
"Thank you," I hear him chuckle from under me bringing me back to reality. I started kissing down his neck, wanting to hear him moan so bad. I made sure to go low enough on his neck that his daily attire would hide the mark before I bit down taking him by surprise.
"Ah," he moaned arching his back some, it was a glorious sight and sound.
"Mine for tonight," I whisper in a dominating manner as I start to nibble and suck on the same spot before running my tongue over the spot I just assaulted.
"Yes, yours," I hear him whisper just turning me on more.
Removing myself from his lap I unzip my dress stepping out of it, leaving me in my underwear and a strapless bra before returning to my previous position.
"Don't you want to touch Gaara?" I whisper close to his ear. He nods bringing his hands up running his hands over my sides, down my stomach and up between my breasts almost shyly it was adorable except I wanted to have a night neither of us would forget.
I put my hand on top of his and start guiding him to massage my left breast, which he does right away while bringing his right hand up to do the same. I lean down kissing him as I run my hand down his chest tracing his waistband, his happy trail, and the little bit of the man 'v' showing.
I see him close his eyes and lean his head back. I slip my hand under his pant's waistline following the happy trail, running my nail gently right above his shaft.
"Ahh," I hear him moan again.
"Are you sure you want to do this Gaara? You are the Kazakage and you don't even know who I am?" I ask again looking at him.
"Please Ella, I want this," I hear him almost beg. I lose control making quick work of the rest of our clothes. I run my tongue from right above his shaft to the spot I assaulted on his neck, nibbling at it again.
"Ah," he calls out his body having a small spasm.
I run my hand down his chest to his manhood that I gently grab it, it was so hard it was impressive. I run my hand up and down it watching his reaction seeing what he liked.
"Ah, Ella" he moans arching again.
"Yes, Gaara," I put next to his ear, he takes a deep breath, before opening his eyes to look at me. I run my tongue down him again scooting down to where I'm closer to straddling his knees.
Right now his manhood was too dry to rub by hand I smirked planning on fixing that.
He just looks down at me confused. I make eye contact with him and run my tongue around his tip. He arches his back more almost coming off the bed, before he gets settled I like it again before putting the tip in my mouth attacking it with my tongue.
I start lightly sucking taking more and more of him in my mouth with every head bob. I can feel him twitching in my mouth as I attack the underside of his shaft with my tongue.
"Ah!" He moans louder this time, I smirk knowing he must be close.
"Can't cum yet Gaara," I tease going back to straddling his lap again.
"Ah please, Ella please," I hear him beg.
"A little bit longer," I say as I position myself before easing myself onto him.
"Ella!" He cried out throwing his head back.
"Come on Gaara, fuck me," I encourage him. He quickly flips us so I am staring up at him. He positions himself with me before slowly sliding in.
"Ah!" I moan, his manhood stretching me.
"Are you okay?" he asks panicking.
"Yes," I say looking up at the amazing man above me, everyone knew about the tale of the fifth Kazakage. I could tell he was scared, didn't want to mess up, and didn't want to hurt me
"Move in and out slowly," I smile at him as he complies making me close my eyes. I was finally used to his size before I smirked up at him.
"Faster, Gaara," I moan out giving him an incentive, which he takes quickly. He had a great rhythm going as I laid back enjoying the moment I was in. He kept it up as I leaned up to capture his lips with mine.
"You are doing amazing," I whisper reading his mind. He looked down at me surprised before nodding. He kisses me again going harder and faster without me asking.
"Ah, Gaara! Yeah just like that! Oh, my God! I'm close so close!" I moan out with the next few minutes. I could my head go fuzzy as he continued at his rockstar pace
Gaara! I can feel myself cumming squeezing the large member inside me.
"Ella!" I feel him tense up as I involuntarily squeeze causing him to cum as well, we both instinctually rode out our moments. He pulled out panting, falling on the bed next to me.
"That was amazing," I whisper cuddling my head on his chest.
"Yes," he says still catching his breath.
It wasn't long before we fell asleep cuddling with each other.
I woke up to see Gaara asleep next to me, relaxed and snoring quietly. As quietly as I can I grab my dress and underclothes. Putting them on and rushing back to my hotel room.
Gaara's POV
I open my eyes staring at the canopy that hung above my bed, as memories of last night flood my mind. I jump out of bed realizing she was gone, throwing on my clothes, I rush out of my room running into Temari.
"Gaara what's wrong?" she asks concerned.
"Did you see the girl in the white dress leave?" I ask wanting to find her.
"White dress...Oh that girl, wait, Gaara did you lose your virginity last night to her?" she asks distracted as a big sister would be.
"Yes, now did you see her?" I ask answering quickly knowing she wasn't going to drop it.
"Aw my little brother...no I didn't see her," I hear her reply.
"Where are the leaf villagers,"
"Oh they left a few hours ago, you were fast asleep so Kankuro and I bid them farewell. Do you think she was one of them?" I hear her ask.
"I don't know who she is!" I snap as my mind runs wild.
"Wait you don't know who she is and you let her take your virginity! Are you stupid?" Temari scold me for my actions.
"That doesn't matter right now. I need to know everyone that was at the party that was a female aged 15 - 30. I'll be in my office, I want that information Temari!" I say disappearing in the sand.
I was pacing by the time Termari came into my office.
"Do you know if she was a sand or leaf villager?" she asks.
"No," I say wishing I asker her more identifiable questions.
"There were 118 women that fit your description," she says dropping a stack of paper onto my desk.
"I am never going to find her," I exclaim slamming my fists down onto my desk.
Normal POV
It has been about a month since my night with Gaara. I heard whispers around town that he had sent word to Lady Hokage wanting her to assist in finding his Cinderella. I continued on with my normal life ignoring the whispers. I knew him not knowing who I was, was better for both of us.
This morning I was awoken by a horrible episode of nausea that just didn't seem to want to subside. I headed to the hospital to get checked out just in case. It wasn't long before I was in a room, and had my blood drawn for tests. Within a few minutes of that in walks the pink hair women that I met at the party, she evaluates me for a few moments asking me the general questions.
"I have analyzed your labs and am proud to be the first one to congratulate you, you are pregnant," she says with a large grin.
"I'm what?" I ask praying I didn't hear her right the first time.
"You are pregnant, about a month along if I am not mistaken," she says still smiling.
"Oh," is all I can say as my blood runs cold.
"You were not expecting this?" she asks.
"No, not at all. Thank you for letting me know," I say honestly.
"No problem, come back in about three months and we can determine the gender," she says with a softer smile.
That day I weighed my options, deciding to keep the baby and not tell Gaara or anyone else who its father was. I just kept saying it was a one night fling or something along those lines, rather having old lady think I was a floosie over the fact I slept with the Kazakage and now am having his child. I doubted anyone would believe me anyway, well except Gaara.
At four months along I found out I was going to have a boy, most the ladies of the village were so sweet, giving me their old baby stuff so I didn't have to buy anything. I decided to become a med aid at the hospital earning enough money to move into a two-bedroom apartment. I thought about visiting Gaara a hundred times but talked myself out of it each time.
At eight and a half months along, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy that I named Shinki. He looked more like Gaara than I had wished, he had black hair with fire red streaks in it, Gaara's bright sea-foam eyes, and talent way beyond anything I could hope for.
FWD 6 years
"Mom! Mom! Look what I learned how to do today!" he cried out for me as we were walking home from the store.
"What did you learn sweetheart?" I asked turning towards him. I watch as I see him manipulate black sand, sending it back and forth before molding it to look like a jacket he was wearing.
"That's spectacular my dear," I said smiling at him.
"I can now always protect you and the village!" he cheers still playing with his sand.
"I should be the one protecting you silly, I'm your mom after all," I say patting his head.
"Mom, where is my dad?" he asked for the first time taking me by surprise.
"I need to run into the bookstore really quick for work, stay out here, I'll be right back," I say avoiding the question as he just nods.
Gaara's POV
I was in the leaf village to discuss the chunin exams with Naruto. Heading that way I see kids playing taking my focus away from my path until I felt something collide with me. I sent my sand to keep them from falling to turn and see that he had black sand doing it for him already.
When he looked up, I forgot how to breathe, it was like I was looking in a mirror. His sea-foam colored eyes matching mine, he had my nose and facial structure the only significant difference was his hair, but his streaks matched my hair color to a tee.
"I'm so sorry Lord Kazakage!" I hear the child apologize bowing his head.
"No worries, what is your name?" I ask looking down at him still.
"My name is Shinki Tanmaru! I am going to be a leaf shinobi!" he cheered pointing to the fake headband he was wearing.
"That's wonderful, where are your parents?" I ask looking around.
"My mom ran into the bookstore, she will be right back! Wait! She avoided my question," I hear him exclaim looking towards the bookstore his back to me now.
"How old are you?" I ask curiously. Before he could answer Temari and Kankuro walk up looking at the child back in front of them.
"Who's this Gaara?" Temari asks. As soon as the child turned around their eyes went wide, mouth agape, looking between him and myself.
"Oy! More sand shinobi?" he asks.
Normal POV
I do a few laps of the bookstore killing enough time that Shinki should have forgotten his question.
"Shinki!" I call out walking out of the bookstore.
"Mom! The Kazakage is here with sand shinobi!" I hear him cheer causing me to freeze. I am afraid to raise my eyes as I see three sets of feet standing in the middle of the path.
"That's awesome hun, we should get home," I say starting to walk the other way of the feet.
"Mom! Where are you going? The house is this way, are you losing your mind already?" I hear my son ask suspectingly.
"You cannot avoid this conversation," I hear a deep voice I remember from years ago say.
"What conversation?" Shinki asks hurrying back over to Gaara.
"Your mother is aware of what I am talking about," he says almost hauntingly.
"Shinki, haven't I told you not to talk to strangers?" I say trying to avoid Gaara anyway I could.
"Mom he is the Kazakage! He is the leader of the sand village. If it is safe to talk to any stranger he is it!" Shinki whines.
"I can stand here all day or follow you home if need be," I hear Gaara say.
"You know Gaara, that made you sound like a creep," I say about ready to rip the bandaid off.
Gaara's POV
"You know Gaara, that made you sound like a creep," that voice. How do I know that voice? It was driving me crazy. This lady was purposely stalling, get on my nerves more and more than to call me a creep, what nerve.
"Mom! You cannot call the Kazakage by his name and even worse call him a creep!" I hear the child whine.
"Even if he requests you to?" she asked catching my attention.
"Wait! what? Do you know the Kazakage?"
"Yes, do you know me well enough that I would have requested you to just call me Gaara?" I ask curiously as well.
"Well, I did almost six years ago at a Halloween party if you wish to know." My head began to spin, breathing became a foreign concept to me, I hear the women say as she turns her head my direction. I see the ocean blue eyes I could never forget.
"Ella?" I whisper doubting it myself.
"I thought we agreed to only that night, what are you doing here Gaara?" she asks bringing back all my memories of that night.
"Gaara?" I hear Temari ask.
"The 'white dress girl'" was all I needed to say for her to catch on.
"Wait, the girl that stole your virginity and then disappeared into thin air, never to be seen again?"
"I stole it? I distinctly remember your exact words, "Please Ella, I want this" being uttered the second time I tried to give you an out." I hear her say, making me 100% sure that this woman in front of me was the white dress girl from the Halloween party, years ago.
"Mom, what is going on?" I hear the child asking grabbing her hand.
Normal POV
"Mom, what is going on?" I hear Shinki ask grabbing my hand pulling me from my current train of thought.
"Do you want him to know?" I ask looking over at Gaara who paused for a moment but nodded.
"Someone tell me what is going on!" I hear Shinki snap at the world.
"You know I love you more than anything in this world without a doubt right?" I ask kneeling to his level.
"Of course! I love you more than anything in this universe!" my heart melted hearing my son say those words.
"Do you remember the question you asked me before I went into the bookstore?" I ask him.
"Um...Oh yeah, where is my dad?" he asked again.
"Well, my love, six years ago I left the village to go to a Halloween party in the sand village..." I say trying to find the right words to tell my son the story.
Gaara's POV
"Well, my love, six years ago I left the village to go to a Halloween party in the sand village..." I hear her start.
"Gaara," I hear my name pulling me from my trance. I look at her motioning me to come over, which I slowly do eyes glued on the two in front of me.
"Yes?" I ask in a weak whisper, surprised I could talk at all.
"Are you sure you want him to know the truth, the whole truth?" she looks at me making my brain freeze.
"Yes," I say a little more confident this time crouching to be at their height. Not missing the fact Temari and Kankuro also move closer to hear.
"Gaara if I tell him this story and you do anything to hurt him I will personally make sure your life is a living H-E-L-L until your soul leaves your body. I will not give you a third chance to make this decision either." I hear her say making Temari and Kankuro get defense before I waved them down.
"I understand and accept your terms," I say look right at her.
"Very well, when I was in the sand village I met a very nice man of power...a prince let's say,"
"So?" Shink questions listening closely.
"So, as the night progressed the prince and I went for a walk that ended up introducing me to a world I had never imagined seeing, one of luxury, fortune, and high-class. That same night the prince asked mom if she wanted to be with him. In which I replied yes. We had a magical night, one like you read in the fairytales but when I woke up the next morning I knew I could never be who I am and be apart of his world. I left without saying a word, the prince searched for me but I still knew that I could never live up to the expectations that came with being in a relationship with one of royalty. Eventually, he stopped looking, and I found out I was going to have a baby, which is a handsome, smart and strong little boy named Shinki," I hear her tell our story in such a way it sounded like something you would read in a book.
"That's me!" Shinki cheered.
"Yes, dear that is you. That night your dad put you in my tummy was the last time I saw him for years and years. I tried to find the words to tell him about you but every time I planned to, I couldn't do it. Worried about what would happen if he found out," she pauses looking at me with apologetic eyes.
Normal POV
I looked at Gaara with regret.
"Did my dad not want me?" I hear my baby boy ask.
"Oh, sweety..." I start trying to find the words.
"Your dad would have wanted you more than anything in the world if he knew you came to be from that magical night." I hear Gaara's answer.
"So my dad didn't know he had a son?" Shinki deduces.
"That's right my dear until today that is. I am sure the moment he saw you he felt like he was looking into a mirror. You, my light look just like your dad, except for the black hair you got from me."
"Wait so my dad has red hair?" he asks looking at me confused.
"Yes Shinki, your dad has bright red hair just like you."
"Wait!" Shink screamed looking at Gaara. He plucks a few red hairs from his head and then puts it next to Gaara's, but he wasn't satisfied with that conclusion. I watch as he plucks a few hairs from Gaara's head quickly causing me to giggle.
"Kazakage-sama and I have the same hair color," he deduced.
"Mhmm," I agree knowing he was close to putting it together.
"Oh! My! Kami!" he spins around looking at me and then Gaara.
Gaara's POV
"Oh! My! Kami!" he spins around looking at me and then her. My heart is pounding in my head, the same head that itches a little after Shinki pulled a few hairs from it.
"Mom!" he screams not believing what he deduced.
"Yes?" I hear her smiling sweetly at him. Part of me was waiting for him to ask if Kankuro was his father being that is something I feel like she would do just for the fun of it.
"Is Lord Kazakage my dad? There is no way! He is way to cool for you, right Mom?" he yells, causing some to stop and watch what is happening. Her face is priceless as she looks at me without answering him, while his comment makes me, Temari, and Kankuro laugh.
"Yes, Shinki. I am certain you are my son," I say looking at him as he is frozen staring at me.
"Not a funny joke you two!" I hear Shinki cry out.
"Sweetheart look at me. Have I ever lied to you?" I hear her ask?
"Well, no," he says scratching his head.
"Then please, believe me when I say, your father is right next to you with the matching hair, and yes he is the Gaara the Kazakage of Suna. I will even pinky promise if you want," she says holding out her pinky in which he clasps with his.
"You pinky promise Kazakage-sama! If you break a pinky promise your pinky will break in two," he says ensuring I knew exactly what would happen if I broke the promise. A little gruesome but I hook my pinky with his and hers.
"Aw!" I hear Temari say from behind me.
"Wait! My dad is the Kazakage?" Shinki jumps up startling us both but she starts laughing, holding her sides.
"Yes, Shinki. Your Dad is Gaara," she says smiling wide at him. Without another word he jumps on my wrapping his arms around my neck, the force knocks me out of my crouch so I am sitting on the ground.
"I have so much to show you Dad! All my toys, my room, oh, my favorite park, the place mom takes me when I behave." I hear him raddle off a bunch of things as I just hug him close, while I stare at the women behind me that I have only known for a night but who gave me the most precious thing in the world.
