Chapter 3: Secret Plan
Aurana awoke to the sun shining in her window.
'I fell asleep?' she thought blinking 'oh no I fell asleep when I was supposed to be watching Gaara!'
A knock on the door brung her out of her thoughts. The door opened slightly to reveal Faye walking in.
"Morning Sleeping Ugly" Faye snickered, holing a hand mirror up to Aurana's face. Her dark make up was smeared around her eyes giving her a 'Gaara look'; her lipstick was smeared as well.
"uuhhgg!" she mumbled "As if I didn't have a hard enough time with make up already!"
Faye snickered again "Its an improvement. Keira told everyone Gaara carried you out of his office out cold. Sleeping like a baby. Feel better?"
"Nope, just a migraine" Aurana sighed "like always after I sleep for even ten minutes"
"Anymore nightmares?"
Aurana nodded "Not as bad as normal though"
Faye smiled and heard a feint ding of the kitchen timer "Come on Kal's done with the cinnamon bu-!"
Aurana had already left the room at the word cinnamon. Faye laughed and followed her Leader to the kitchen.
"Sleep okay?" Tara asked Aurana pone entering the kitchen.
"Emm umm" she mumbled
"Whats that supposed to mean?" Kankuro asked from the counter
"No" Everyone else minus Gaara, Temari, and Aurana replied.
"Geez take my head off," Kankuro mumbled grabbing a bun and leaving the room. The girls laughed as he left.
"Aura I made extra for you" Kalandra told her
"Yeah! Thanks Kal!" Aurana grabbed four buns and went to sit on the couch.
"She kind of happier than normal isn't she?" Temari asked standing up putting her plate in the sink
"You could tell?" came Mizuki sarcastic reply, Temari glared at her "Anyways what has made Leader so happy?"
"…Being in this house. For one" Keira said "You guys should hear some of the things your alls subconscious says"
"No kidding" Tara joined her laughter.
"We're not Telepathic like you two!" Mizuki whined
"Hey you know what? Gaara has been acting different since you all moved in" Temari said "Almost happy like."
All members of Squad 13 got an I-have-a-plan smirk and turned to Temari who got the same one. "I have a plan!" everyone announced.
"Warning you now they're up to something" Kankuro said from his spot nearest the door to the kitchen.
Aurana sat on the couch eating her third cinnamon bun when Gaara walked by and grabbed her fourth one.
"Hey that was mine!" she complained
"Hn" was his reply "Eat to many and you'll get fat"
Aurana grumbled something about evil raccoon-dogs stealing food and walked off to her room. Finding nothing else to do she decided to get a shower in. Climbing out in less than an hour she hunted down her brush. Still in her towel she walked to Tara rooms and knocked
"What is it Aura?!" Came Tara reply through the thick doors
"Have you seen my brush?"
"Try Keira's room!" she called back,
Before Aurana turned around Keira yelled, "I don't have it try Faye!"
"Try Mizuki!"
"Hey I don't have it Kal does!" Mizuki's voice floated to her.
"Damn! Do all of you know when I ask something!"? Aurana yelled stopping at Kalandra's room
"Oh here Aura" Kalandra showed up at the door holding Aurana's brush. She noticed what Aurana was wearing "Real smart Aura real smart, watch out for Kankuro" she laughed shutting the door.
Aurana glanced down then remembered she was in only the towel. She sighed frustraighted, and walked beck to her room to change. Changing in to a pair of guys black shorts and a dark red tank top, with wrist and ankle weights. She walked to the gym hoping to find Temari.
"Yes your up here" she once again sighed
"Whats up, Wolfie" Temari replied
"Wolfie?"
"Never mind" Temari laughed, "What do you need?"
Aurana held up her brush "Can you help me please? I can't braid my own hair"
"Sure" chirped Temari. "How do you want it?"
"High pony tail braided half way down" After Temari finished brushing it she asked "Wanna spar when we're done?"
"Why not this should be fun," the older girl grinned. "Everyday weapons?"
Aurana nodded yes and took her spot at the other end of the gym. Temari pulled out her fan but didn't open it. Since Aurana didn't have her bow she formed one out of emerald chakra. Knowing an attack from the front was a bad idea she chose to use the Shadow Flicker Technique and get behind her. Launching three arrows simultaneously, she caught Temari off guard slightly. She opened one moon on her fan in time to block the arrows. By this time a few of the house members caught on to the friendly spar. Temari swung her fan full force while opening it catching Aurana in the ribs, Aurana countered with a kunai cutting Temari's cheek. Dropping all weapons they started a Taijutsu fight. No one was winning and no one was losing. It was a complete draw for the longest time. Both Aurana and Temari punched each other at the same time in the stomach.
"Re…rematch" Aurana whispered falling forwards
"Rem..atch" Temari agreed falling over on her side.
"Whoa Awesome Fight!" Mizuki cheered jumping up in the air.
"Yes it was" The Twins agreed.
"Kankuro help Temari to her room" Kalandra told the young man. Who looked at her like she was nuts. "Just do it! Gaara can you help Aurana?" 'Even though I can just as easily'
'I can hear you Kal' Keira's voice came
'Nah duh, miss Telepathic'
"Hn" Gaara pushed himself off the wall he was leaning against.
'She's a wonderful fighter' Shukaku said still as Gaara walked over to pick her up. 'Your sister has gotten stronger as well. They fought until they couldn't.'
"And why do you care?" Gaara mumbled hoping no one heard
"Talking to Shukaku again Gaara?" Tara asked from his side. Gaara looked at her strangely "You two are quiet funny to listen to"
"I bet," he grumbled
"And in your Inner Mind is also quite interesting to look at"
"Tara" Keira scolded, "Leave the poor guy alone would you"
"Yeah leave him alone," Faye told her
"Oh fine!" she grumbled, "Ruin my fun!"
"We will" Faye, Keira, Kalandra, Sally and Mizuki answered right away.
Tara grumbled again but left Gaara alone. Once the door shut to the Training Room he faintly heard tem talking again in quick hushed tones. He walked into Aurana's room and placed her on the bed.
'Kit she wearing weights''So?'
'Take them off once she wakes up she wont be able to move her arms or legs with them on'
'Why do you care?'
'I don't her Squad does' he replied
Upstairs
They started to talk in quick hushed voices after Gaara left.
"Tara!" Keira exclaimed, "You almost got us caught!"
"I did not!" Tara defended "I was trying to tell if his Outer Mind thought the same way"
"Outer Mind? What?" Mizuki asked
"Outer Mind is your conscious while Inner Mind is your sub-conscious" The Twins stated together "You've been near us for what 13 years and you never learned this?"
"No,"
"You're the 2nd in Command you should now this!" Faye said exasperated. "I knew this and I'm 3rd in Command!"
"So" Mizuki sighed "Anyway back on topic"
"Get talking to Shukaku now!" Sally commanded Keira.
"I am I am. Geez. Chill." Keira mumbled 'Shukaku? Hey Shukaku?'
'What do you want, Pup?' Shukaku's voice rang in her head
'Aurana-sama has fifty pound weights on her arms and legs tell Gaara-san to take them off'
'Why should I? What in it for me?''For one it'll make your host happier….later. And you wont to always talk to Gaara-san got me and my sister to talk to'
'You two are always snooping around anyways.'
'No that would be my sister' Keira laughed 'She says Aurana-sama needs a boyfriend and went snooping in the heads of the locals starting with Gaara-san and Kankuro-perv'
Shukaku laughed 'It runs in the family. Continue'
'Well Gaara-san's Inner Mind has feeling for Aurana-sama but his Outer Mind is harder to get to. It has a barrier that only you can get through' Keira finished for him.
'Mmmm and you want me to snoop for you, right?'
'Basically yeah'
'I'll do it. This is going to get a few laughs' Shukaku laughed
"He'll do it!" Tara and Keira yelled jumping up and down hugging
"Who's doing what?" Kankuro's voice asked from behind them.
"Uh oh" all the girls said
"Nothing at all"
"Nice try what is it?"
"You really want to know?" Sally asked "Okay we'll tell you on one condition."
This is where I am ending this today.
Gaara: I don't like all the sneaking around
Aurana: No Kidding
