Chapter Two

The First Day

Meeting Gaara And The Family Members

We arrived in Sunagakure around noon and decided that I would be put in the care of Temari since we were familiar and she knew

her way around.

We discussed how she had become an elite ninja of her village and how I was here to serve the Kazekage, her younger brother.

"Has Gaara changed?" I spoke with caution, for word gets around easily in a small village.

She hesitated a little, but me being paranoid, i could notice pretty much anything, "Well, he lost a demon, became an elite ninja,

took on the role of Kazekage, and gained more than half of Sungakure's girl population's attention, in more than one way."

"What's that supposed to mean? Gaara and girls?" Whoa! Gaara and a girl. Pshhh yeah, right.

"Yeah, well, he gets around. a lot..." She gave a nod and started to laugh.

"WHAT THE FU-"

"Don't act so surprised, underneath all that freakish anger, depression, and that demon that was holding him in, he is a very handsome,

polite, normal guy. he deserves the freedom that was deprived from his hands as a child and now he is the rightful Kazekage. After Shukaku's

departure from his body, he began talking to me and Kankuro more often. He really is a good kid, although still dark and quiet as usual."

"Not so much of a kid anymore, from what I've heard." I jumped a little from the sound of Kankuro's voice. he gave me a warm

smile.

"Long time, no see Kankuro. you've changed." for the worst...loser.

He gave a tranquil nod and walked beside Temari.

"Kankuro, I don't think it's proper that you publicise Gaara's private life." Temari gave a look of fake disappointment as she spoke. She was so not

the one to talk.

"Well, she is going to be his lifetime nurse so she should be aware of Gaara's very active private life. I doubt Gaara's ever gonna be lonely

again...in bed, that is. He has a new girl almost every night." He smirked and walked off, laughing like an idiot.

I tried not to blush, but of course I did. Gaara being with a girl wasn't the freaky part, Gaara doing anything other than fighting a girl is what freaked me out.

We were taken by a carriage to the Mansion I would be staying at with the Kazekage and his personnal staff. The ride was short and when we got there

Temari left at the gate for a mission.

I was escorted through the main hall in to the living area. The rooms and hallways had wide walls and very high ceilings, which seemed clearly

unnecessary especially because no one was 20-feet tall, this is about how tall the ceilings seemed to be. The place could easily be perceived as

a giant sun room, there were walls of windows everywhere. I stood in front of the couch, unsure whether I should sit or stand and wait.

The servant who escorted me began to talk after having another servant whisper something in his ear and walk away, "The Kazekage is currently in a very

important meeting and will be down in an hour, he has directed me to show you around your new home." he began walking.

I felt the slightest notion that something was amiss, but I guess that being in the Kazekage's house had something to do with it.

I dozed around while the servant seemed to explain every aspect of the house. I finally noticed that we were outside and there was a garden.

My senses were going crazy, due to many years of medical training I had gotten very fond of scents, poison, herbs, medicines, and flowers

(as a medic nin I was to be able to recognize flower extracts).

I sensed something go past me. There was blood, not on me, on the servant. I rushed over to where he was, being sure not to shake him, there was a

kunai stuck in his right shoulder. I took it out gently and looked at the bare wound, it had gone in deep, but nothing serious. coincidentally, he had landed right next

to the area of the garden that grew herbs and roots. I picked the few that would disinfect and help heal the servant's injury. after treating the servant I got up and

sat back down next to the servant unsure of what I should do.

"Well done Haruno, in this situation most of my usual medics would have run for help." he gave a nod to one of his assistants and they waved there hand

just above the injured servants head and suddenly there was a poof of smoke and when it cleared the servant wasn't there just a log. Oh, my god.

"Ummm...K-Kazekage-sama I-I wh-" Dammit.

"That was a test to see if you could handle a situation such as that. Follow me." He turned around and began walking. Temari wasn't all wrong

although I was immensly freaked out, I did notice the fact that he was kinda handsome. But he is a bastard for weirding me out.

We walked through the great hall and up the stairs to where the rooms were, apparently. he slid open a door at the end of the hallway and we both

walked in slowly. in the room there was a couch, two beds, two dressers, two closets, two desks, two chairs, and four nightstands, two next to each bed.

"This is our room." What the hell did he just say?

"I-I'm sorry if this may sound rude, but wh-why do we share a room." My God, he freaks me out.

"In case there is an emergency you will be there to assist me." Ignoring the fact that he is Kazekage, why does he act so superior to me? urghhh?

"You never greeted me properly. Take your shoes off and bow." !#$! F him. I took my shoes off and kneeled on the ground my forehead touching

my knees one hand above the other on the ground. This was humiliating.

"good girl, now get up and unpack your belongings." I got up and looked at him. That damn a was looking down at me, smiling. Contain yourself Sakura,

contain yourself.
