Gaara's Journal
Chapter 8 - Departure To Emo Farm
We are back and the search continues! The moon was full that night. It illuminated Konoha, making it easy to see where you were. The sand ninja approached one house with an odd symbol. In a way it looked like a pokeball but without the little button. Immediately, Gaara knew who lived there. He recalled the finals for the chunnin exam thing. Sasuke Uchiha. He was leaving the house for some reason and if you looked close enough, he was carrying a bag with the same symbol on it. Where was he going at one in the morning? The three approached him
"Uchiha Sasuke. Going somewhere?" Gaara asked. They blocked off Sasuke's path.
"Move." he commanded, but the ninja didn't move. They wanted answers.
"Answer my question." Gaara said.
"Life sucks. I need more power. I've decided to join Orochimaru, and possibly kill Itachi. I'm the only one left in my clan. Depression hurts, I'm sure you understand. I can't sit around and cut my wrist all day." Sasuke explained. The three stared.
"You still didn't answer my question. I asked where you were going." Gaara said.
"Emo farm. I'm joining Orochimaru and Kabuto. Like I said, I need power. I'm also leaving Sakura. You know, pink hair, football field for a forehead." Sasuke explained.
"Stop Sasuke!" a girl yelled. She was walking toward him fast. "Please don't! I really love you."
"Allie oh my God! You scared the hell out of me! Stop stalking me! I'm leaving. I must have more power." He explained..
"You need therapy." Gaara said. With that, they left. Sasuke began to leave also.
"SASUKE NNNEEEUUU!!!" Allie yelled. She was having a mental breakdown. It was about one thirty in the morning and the three still remained homeless. There was only one last resort. It was their sensei, or no home at all. Sadly, they began to go back to Suna when a huge blob blocked their way.
"Hold it." Choji said. "You can stay with me. I owe you big time."
"Thank you so much!" Temari said happily. They liked their sensei but Jaraiya was his friend and that creeped them out. . . a lot. The front porch light was on at Choji's house. They walked inside. There was a crunching sound under Gaara's foot. He looked down to see endless amounts of potato chip bags and the chips themselves.
"You guys can crash down here where ever you'd like. The remote is on the table if you feel like watching television, and there is plenty of food in the kitchen. Well, good night!" Choji explained. You could hear where he was on the upper floor, his footsteps were loud. Gaara disappeared into the kitchen, and returned shortly with packages of cookies.
"Gaara stop stealing everyone's cookies!" Temari said. Kankuro was scanning through channels. Finally, they all ended up watching Harry Potter.
"Heroine Potthead sucks," said Gaara "this is boring. I'd rather watch Harry Potter puppet pals on youtube." Temari had already fallen asleep on the sofa so she didn't scold Gaara for the comment.
"Well, there isn't anything else on." Kankuro replied.
"Does he have comcast on demand?" Gaara asked. He snatched the remote from Kankuro's hand. "With all these bags of chips that he buys, I'm surprised that he can afford digital cable." Gaara kicked another empty bag of chips out of his way, then put his feet up on the coffee table.
"Is there any good movies?" Kankuro asked.
"Hey! Jackass the movie is on here! I've been dying to see this!" Gaara said eagerly. He sat up and scrolled over to "order".
"Gaara don't! It costs money!" Kankuro exclaimed pointing to the price. Gaara pressed the button anyway.
"Oops," Gaara said sarcastically "oh well catman." The movie killed most of their time. Kankuro soon fell asleep in the chair that he was sitting in. Gaara remained awake. He was watching some of Konoha's new music videos. "Wow. These suck." Was all Gaara could say about them. He passed a show called Girls Gone Wild. "Is this some new anime?" He started playing it. The first pair of girls appeared on the screen. Gaara dropped the remote in horror. "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!! IT BURNS!" He screamed holding his head.
Kankuro opened one eye and chuckled. Now Gaara knew what Baki and Jaraiya were doing. He picked up the remote and without looking, pressed the stop button. He shook profusely. Morning came slowly. Choji finally came downstairs. Everyone was in the kitchen. "Good morning!" Choji shouted happily. Gaara was eating pancakes, Kankuro was eating cereal, and Temari was drinking coffee and eating toast. Choji walked over to the fridge in his bright red pajamas, and pulled out something wrapped up. What he unwrapped scared the three sand siblings. It was a double whopper with cheese. Now tell me, who the hell has 960 calories first thing at nine-thirty in the morning? Choji heated it up in the microwave, humming to himself in the process and in a matter of seconds, he wolfed down the sandwich. Another man came down later on and ate two big macs and a large thing of fries which he over salted.
The afternoon rolled around. Gaara was watching Montel, Temari was sleeping again, and Kankuro was doing something in his own little world in the next room with his puppets. Everything was quiet except for the television and Choji in the kitchen eating again. Not much later, a man kicked down the door. "ALRIGHT! TEMARI! GAARA! KANKURO! NINJA MISSION NOW!" Baki ordered. Gaara continued to watch television, Temari continued to sleep, and Kankuro didn't seem to hear him at all either. Just then, Baki slammed his fist on the table causing Gaara to look up, Temari to jump out of her sleep and onto the floor, and Kankuro to come out of imagination land and back to reality. "I SAID NOW!" he yelled. The three dropped everything and followed their eyebrowless sensei. Temari was the only one who thanked Choji on their way out.
"So where are we going and what is our mission?" Kankuro asked. Gaara stuck his foot out and tripped him. Kankuro then pushed him into Temari causing her to push Kankuro.
"Tch. Effing kids." Baki murmured. They returned to Suna and went to Baki's house. Jaraiya was not there. "Now, your mission is to go help Naruto and the other leaf genin people follow Sasuke Uchiha and stop him from going to emo farm. Orochimaru is trying to rape him and soon they will bring the akatsuki in on this." he explained. The siblings nodded.
"Understood." They said in unison. They were now going to Konoha once again.
"God this is gay." Gaara complained.
"Who is Orochimaru and The Akatsuki?" Kankuro asked. Temari and Gaara stared at him. "What?" They shook their heads in disappointment.
Meanwhile at Choji's house. . .
"Choji Akimichi get your butt in here!" Mr. Akimichi yelled.
"What?" Choji asked with a mouthful of doritos.
"This bill. Tell me what it says here?" Mr. Akimichi pointed to a spot on the paper.
"Jackass the movie? I didn't order that or watch it. Can I though?" Choji asked.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT! Tell your friends that they owe us four dollars!" Mr. Akimichi's voice boomed.
"Wow what are you gonna buy with four dollars? Half a skittle? Hey, do we have any skittles?" Choji remarked. His dad grabbed him by the ear and dragged him out the door. Gaara had officially pissed someone else off in Konoha. Will Neji ever grow back his ponytail? Will Lee find the exorcist outside of his window? And will Allie ever get her beloved Sasuke back?
