Eyebrows Chapter 3: Happy Endings, a naruto fanfic

A/N: I. AM. . SORRY FOR MY SUPER, ULTRA, MEGA, LATE UPDATE! I KNEW HOW I WANTED IT TO GO, BUT I JUST COULD NOT BRING MYSELF TO WRITE IT! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!! *cries* BUT (cue the I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU theme music) EITHER WAY, HERE IS THE NEXT, AND – SO SORRY – FINAL CHAPTER!!! (Oh, and I had to make an OC as the unknown woman!!! I like her though; she is fun! I like her friend, too! You will soon find out why! *evil laugh* ^^ Oh, and I use some of my own words in here, but her name actually means what I say it does!!! I love the internet! ^^

PROCRASTINATION: BE GONE!!! HERE WE GO!

When she turned around, I saw a bright, old – but not wrinkly (go figure) – face staring at me.

"So, you want eyebrows, right?" she asked with a smoothly coarse voice.

"Yes. Who are you?" I asked the simple question.

"Who are you?" she retaliated firmly.

"Gaara, the Kazekage." 'Duh,' I wanted to add, but I cannot, being a "person of high caliber" and poo.

"Well no kidding. I knew that much," she stated, turning around and walking to a curtain hanging on the wall. I don't remember passing any windows…

"Who are you?" I ask again, disregarding her comment.

"I am Yumi. It means "beauty". Am I pretty, or what?!" she asks, quickly spinning around and striking an odd pose with her one hand on her hip, and her other in the air, while flipping her hair.

"… Why am I here? And how do you know I want eyebrows?" I ask, getting tired of the charade.

She drops the pose immediately, and tells me, "You are here because you want eyebrows, and I know because some very youthful birds have been chirping around me," Yumi states with a chuckle. She turns back around to the curtain, walks over to it, and pulls it back. She yells something to whoever is back there. She comes back to me, and offers me some tea.

"No, thank you. Who were you talking to?"

"You'll see, soon, Kazekage." She walks to a door, opens it, walks through, and closes it behind her. I am alone now, waiting for either her, or Curtain Person to accompany me. Not five minutes later, a very muscular man comes out in all green, except for a little strip of red around his waist. It has a metal plate on it with the Konoha leaf symbol on it. He has pitch-black hair… in a bowl shaped haircut, and has THE biggest eyebrows I have ever seen. Lucky…

He strikes yet another odd pose, with him giving me thumbs up. "Yosh! Do you remember me, Gaara?!?!?!?" the man asked a little too enthusiastically.

"Vaguely, yes. What is your name again?"

"Rock Lee!!!" he responds with a tooth-paste add smile. He was the guy I fought during the preliminaries during the Chunin Exam! He was also part of Naruto's team that saved me from the Akatsuki. "Now, does my name ring any bells???"

'Yes, annoying ones…' "Yes, it does. But, why are you still here? Didn't Naruto and his group already return home from rescuing me?" I ask, just now realizing it for myself.

He only regains normal posture now, and closes his mouth for an unthoothified, but still radiant smile. "I stayed because Yumi is one of my greatest friends ever in the whole world!!!!"

He was getting to loud for me. I wish he would just chill out…

"How did you meet her?"

"She once came to Konoha for a mission, and I was assigned to her squad, and we hit it off, and we have been friends ever since!"

"But how are you two ever going to help me get eyebrows?"

He walks a little bit closer to me, and squints into my eyes. "Are you blind? Can you not see the HUGE eyebrows on my FOREHEAD???? He pulls away a little, but is still very close.

"Yes, but-"

"Well, there you go! YYYYYUUUUUMMMMMIIIII!!!!!!!!!!" He screams at the top of his lungs. OW!

She walks back out from behind the door with a pot, a rag, two very small pieces of cloth, a small chair, an eyedropper, and a scissors. HUH?

"Sit," She commands, giving me the kiddy chair. I sit as soon as I place at my bottom.

"Take this cloth, and put it over your face, but let your eyebrows show." I do as she says, and I cover up to the top of my eyes with the large cloth. I can no longer see what she is doing, but I hear cutting of scissors, and little scrapping noises like a feather tip brushing against porcelain, and then a faint drip. I hear her say: Mixin Color No Jutsu. Then silence.

After about three to four minutes, I hear footsteps walking towards me. I feel slight pressure on my forehead, where my eyebrows would be, and hear another jutsu, but it was too quick and silent for me to catch. I got a weird tingly feeling there, and a felt the cold steel of the scissors cutting near my eyes, and closer to the roots of my bangs. Then, she removes the cloth from my face, and she is holding a mirror in front of my face to examine my new face. I looked… so odd… It was the weirdest thing I ever saw my entire life, but who cares, I HAD MY DREAM! I HAD EYEBROWS!!! The first thing I did was feel them. They felt so soft, like a portable pillow that was always with me.

I did see some of the small pieces of whatever, but Yumi, when she saw I was looking at them, told me, "They will eventually fall off, and they will look like you have had them your whole life! So, how do you like them?"

"I am very grateful, and they are great, they look amazing. Like I have had them my entire life. The left one covers up my kanji a little, but I do not care, thank you very much for everything, Yumi, and-" When I looked over at Lee, I saw half of his eyebrows missing from each of his brows. He looks even funnier than when he had the bushy brows! I wonder what his dad or whoever will say… When I noticed him staring at me with little slits as eyes, and a very wide smile, I knew he was happy for me, and was probably happy to have lost 87 ½ pounds of hair off his face, and I said, "Lee, thank you very much for giving me eyebrows." I stood up, and was about to thank Yumi again and leave, but Lee grabbed me, and pulled me into one of those creepy man-hugs things. I was at a loss of what how to respond, especially when he started to cry all over me.

"YOU ARE SO WELCOME, GAARA! YOU LOOK SO YOUTHFUL WITH EYEBROWS!!" He kept crying, while Yumi was laughing at me. He then stops, and pulls away very suddenly, and leaves.

I woke up at 10 o'clock in the morning the next day. I feel so light-headed. I raise my hand up for my forehead to rub my temples, but stop when I felt fuzz on my face. I suddenly smile, jump out of bed, and run to my Temari's room.

When I get to her door, I hear faint noise. I nock on the door, and soon after, I am greeted with a very close up image if Kankuro.

"Ye- WOOOO! LOVE the new face, bro!" he yells, and throws me a great big bear hug. I do not hug him back.

"Huh," I hear Temari say from the room. She gets up, and come over to Kankuro and me. "Move, Kankuro! I wanna see! Ooooh, you look nice! So, how did you get 'em?" she asks, analyzing my face like a lizard.

"I… do not remember. I went for a walk yesterday, and I remember looking at the Elders' house. Then… I was hit on the head. The next thing I know, I have these," I say, pointing to my eyebrows.

"O.K. Well, I am going to eat something." She leaves with a ruffle of my hair and one more look at my fuzzy-face. Kankuro continues to look at me, though, and I start to feel uncomfortable.

Then it dawns on me… "What were you doing in Temari's room?"

He looks at me blankly for a moment, then realizes what I had asked him. "Oh… uh… Nothing. Just… uuh…" he runs away from me, calling for Temari. I shake my head, and walk down to the kitchen,

When I get down there, I hear them talking:

Temari: So, you think he's suspicious?

Kankuro: Well, he wanted to know, and you weren't very interested in his story, like you already knew!

Temari: Well, don't tell him, and if he brings it up, just tell him you got bored and wanted to talk to me. I just wanted to do something nice for him. He's had it rough. He deserved them.

Kankuro: How did you even know Lee was here?

Temari: I have my sources!

So, it was them after all? But they still think I don't know. Well, then I'll just act like I don't. I walk into the kitchen, say hello to Kankuro and Temari, grab a bowl, and start my day off with some cereal.

With my new eyebrows!
