Got to love writing at the speed of a snail! I know everyone says this but I've been quite busy. I just got done doing three art pieces in three weeks. *_* and now I have some catch up to do in my other classes, buuuut, I do plan on writing more often. also, I think I'm going to polish up some of my other stories. Dunno yet haven't figured that out. I also have a few more one shots in mind so look out for those soon if your interested. Well as always, I hope you enjoy!
Gaara woke up the next morning feeling slightly uncomfortable and stiff. The seat he was sitting in now was not as cushy as Adora's coach. They had fallen asleep that night watching movies. They had gotten through The Dark Knight, The Fifth Element, and Le Femme Nikita (which he found out was an amazing French film) They popped in Naruto but had passed out right around the first Zabuza fight.
But he was no longer laying on the coach with Adora, but sitting in his chair, in his office. This fact hit Gaara hard. Had he dreamed everything? Was that world, Adora, everything, gone?
"What the-?" Gaara heard someone groan.
"Adora?" Gaara said sitting up and looking to the front of his desk. There she was, curled up in a ball at the front of his desk, wide eyed.
She sat up quickly and frantically started looking around.
"This is….this is….THE SAND VILLAGE!!!" she said jumping to her feet with a huge grin.
Gaara looked at her in disbelief. "Yes, its such an interesting town isn't it?" he said sarcastically.
"Oh my god! Sand Village wall!" she said running over to the wall and touching in gently.
"Yes, it's made of sand," Gaara said raising an eyebrow.
"And look!" she said peering out of the window, "That's Suna!!!! Its sooo….sandy!!"
Gaara stared at her blankly, "Yes that's why its called the Sand Village.
Adora spun around, "Oh, I'm sorry I know I'm acting like an idiot," she said looking embarrassed, "It's just, this is my ultimate dream come true."
Gaara smiled, "I'm glad your happy, but we need to figure out what's going on." he said to her. "I can't really keep you here undetected, so I'll have to think of a reason why you're here before anyone sees you Telling them your from a different world may not go over so well with other people."
"Yo, Gaara!" Kankuro said, bursting into the room. "Wakey, Wakey Sunshine!"
Adora and Gaara stood there as Kankuro took the two of them in, at a lose of what to do. "Oh my, little brother, you have company!" Kankuro said with a smirk. "I see you were getting frisky last night in the office, and to think I was worried."
"No, it's not like that!" Gaara said waving his hands a bit. "Adora's my friend, we were just….it's complicated."
Kankuro patted him on the back and Gaara looked at her apologetically. But Adora just had a huge grin on her face.
"Your Kankuro," she said holding out her hand, "Just as pervy and brash as I expected. I'm Adora, nice to meet you!"
Kankuro took her hand and smiled, "She's a keeper baby bro."
"Really Kankuro," Gaara said, "Nothing was going on in here, we just woke up."
"Ha ha, yeah sure," Kankuro said with a smirk. "I mean, don't think I'm judging you or anything, its about time!"
Gaara stared at him blankly, "Kankuro, I'm sixteen,"
"Yes," He said, "But we all know you're mature for your age. Your voice was started to get deep when you were ten and you became the freakin' Kazekage at fifteen!"
Gaara stared at his brother for a moment, "Yes but I didn't exactly have the most normal childhood."
Kankuro shrugged, "I still think you should be getting some,"
Adora let out a laugh and Kankuro shot her a smile.
"See?" he said turning to Gaara, "Come on baby bro don't be so serious all the time."
Gaara sighed, "Look if I told you what really happened you'd probably think I was crazy."
Kankuro laughed, "Really?" he said raising his eyebrow, "This coming from the guy who used to love to torture and kill people in order to feel more alive. I seriously think we're past the point of you freaking me out."
"Hm, well Adora is from another world," Gaara said flatly.
Kankuro cocked his head, "No shit?"
Adora laughed, "That's what I said when Gaara told me he was the real Gaara!"
"What do you mean 'real Gaara?'" Kankuro asked.
"Well in my world, all of this," she said sweeping her hands out around her, "is the setting for one of the most popular mangas of all time. And you guys are some of the main characters."
Kankuro smirked, but Gaara shook his head, "Naruto is the main main character. The story is even named after him."
Kankuro scratched under his kitty hat, "Really?" he said, "Naruto?"
"Yeah, what's wrong with Naruto?" Adora said crossing her arms.
"Well," Kankuro said thinking, "Nothing really, I like the kid, it's just I wouldn't think the story would be mainly based around him. I mean, as much as I hate that kid, you would think it would be about Sasuke."
Adora crinkled her nose, "No, but sometimes it feels like it is."
"Well, can I come chill in that world?" Kankuro asked.
"Well, as of right now we're really not sure how to control going there and back," Gaara said. "All we know right now is that it is some how connected to sleep. If we can some how channel that into a Jutsu, then yes, you may 'chill' there. But it looks like, Adora, until we figure out how to do that, you might be stuck here."
"Oh noooo, that would be terrible," she said sarcastically. "Come on Gaara, this is my dream, I could be trapped here forever and I would be fine with that."
Gaara smiled, "Well, I will be happy to let you stay here for as long as you want. I can't give you Naruto right now, we can go to the Leaf Village when the Chunin Exams come up. But until then, would you like a tour?"
