Summary: She was Naruto's twin sister, Gaara's best friend and Kankuro's secret love. She wanted nothing to do with him, and he wanted everything to do with her.
Enjoy!
Kagome blinked as she looked at her brother. Nearly matching eyes staring back at her, the seriousness seeming misplaced in those normally mischievous pools of cerulean blue. He had only been Hokage for little more than half a year, but it seems the stress was already getting to him.
Growing up as twins, her being the younger, she had followed her brother everywhere which effectively lead her into trouble. They weren't identical, she took after their grandmother, or so they'd been told, and they differed just as much in abilities as well. She took to things easier, making it possible for her to graduate two years ahead of schedule, whereas he struggled but refused to take any of her assistance; that was until he needed her help to steal the shadow scroll. After that they were back at it causing trouble for the village that turned their noses at them with their equally troublesome clones.
It wasn't until they were a little older they discovered the truth of their missing parents. The ravenous nine-tailed fox had attacked the village in search of the Shikon jewel; a jewel the village had protected without any knowledge of its power or abilities. To keep him from obtaining it they sealed it within her as hiding it had been useless, not at all thinking that its power would become hers in time. And when the fox still aimed to destroy the village he was sealed within Naruto not knowing that the fox's power would later become her brother's.
They had unknowingly been cursed at birth. Both forcefully blamed for crimes they did not commit.
It had been hard, but they overcame and made lives for themselves within the ninja world. She an ANBU medic ninja, and her brother finally achieving his dreams of being the Hokage. Their goals had been so different but it did little to stop them from supporting the other and going on crazy adventures where they made numerous friends and allies.
"I need you to go to Sunagakure," Naruto repeated again for his sister. His once bright blonde hair had darkened as they'd grown leaving it to be a dark blonde almost brown in color. At this rate they really would look identical as his hair continuously darkened.
"I got that, but why?" Such tones would never be taken with the Hokage but he was her brother first.
"The Kazekage requested you specifically, I don't know the details but he said it was urgent," he huffed with annoyance.
Her eyes narrowed worriedly. She had gotten back from seeing Gaara only two months ago. If he was sending a formal request it must be important. "When do I leave?"
"Now," it was all she needed and she was gone in a whirl of wind.
A mischievous glint took shape in Naruto's eyes and a smirk pulled at his lips. Their plan had been set in motion and now all that was needed was to wait.
