Wish: And so it begins
Chapter 5
Kiss
Fire lit the hallways to the head room of where the ruler of sound resisted. The place was eerie and quiet. The only things making sound was the footsteps of 2 people, the gurgling of the two twins, and the fire cracking. The only thing seen of this person was the mouth and the rest of his body - though he body wasn't all that clear due to the darkness that reached out only at certain parts. Hands were visible, and there were various burn marks and knife wounds.
"My lord." Chiisu bowed lightly, still holding the child in his arms, as if it was his own. He was told to make sure the kids didn't cry, nor make more sound that they were supposed to. "We have them, where shall we put them?"
The figure only smirked, his mouth curving deadly, and his left leg moving to cross over his right leg lightly. The sound of breathing was eminent from this person. His mouth opened lightly, his voice coming out like he was straining it, or he hadn't talked in many, many years. There seemed to always be a hidden message behind his voice, a hidden violent past.
"Bring them to Tsuki. She'll take care of them."
The two nodded, and left the room, only to have the female glance back at the man, worry written in her eyes. A soft sigh escaped her lips. If only her younger sibling knew what he was doing to himself…
The figure stood up, metal hitting the floor, then blood managing to spill acrossed the floor like a river. Someone had tried to spy on him again, and managed to just get out of his reach seconds before. His mind was contemplating on seeing Alix. He wanted to see her, to see her reaction on her face when she realized he was still alive. When she realized what he had done to her life, her family. His grin turned into one hell of a sadistic smirk, the dead body of the Uchiha's, and Orochimaru fell in front of him, eyes dull and dead.
"So, Alix-chan. Soon we'll see each other. And you will die by my hands…"
-------------------------------
"MaiAki, let's go. Now." Alix walked into the tent, only to see it empty. Her eyes narrowed, and she growled, turning around and walking around to look for the one she was to bring home, only to have Gaara come out of no where's and nod his head.
"She left already, with Kankuro."
"What? I was to escort her back."
"Raku and Alix have been kidnapped."
"Oh, you sound so worried for them too. Nice." Alix sighed softly, rubbing her head. If they were kidnapped, someone either wanted MaiAki, or they wanted someone else, close to her. Those kids were the life of MaiAki and Batman, and Alix would have to try and figure out a way to keep them from going after Sound - the only possible people who would stoop so low as to do that.
She sighed softly, only to sneeze a couple of second after, her hand covering her mouth. She got a 'bless you' from Gaara, and she waved it off. Just then, Omen decided to bombard her mind with images of where the kids were, causing Alix to collapse onto her knee's, eyes wide. It hurt when the images passed through her mind, so she was keeping herself from screaming. Gaara walked over, placing his hand on her shoulder, as if to calm her. After a moment she only shrugged it off, and stood back up again, her breathing slightly out of order. Closing her eyes, she retreated to yell at Omen.
'Sorry child, I had to. They just came to me.'
'I don't care! Know how much that hurts?! Jesus, warning would have helped…'
'That man… He's giving us these images. The dead Uchiha's and Orochimaru by his feet, to have them fall like that, then show us…' Omen paused, as if to try and think of what she was going to say. 'He knows who we are.'
'But I don't know him, I don't understand. This Tsuki person's going to get one hell of an opening from me when I find her chakra…'
'His chakra could easily take you out, Alix.'
'How so? You said that with you, I wouldn't die so easily. And I've grown in chakra over the past year and 3 months…'
'You need to finish you healing bloodline trait, then you need to die to complete your bloodline all together.'
'Bloodline? Wait, you never said anything about bloodlines.'
Omen seemed to give a nervous laugh, as if she was afraid of what Alix would do to her. 'Alix, in order to get near him, and kill him, you need to clear all your traits. You're the only one who can break the barrier leading to him. He's waiting for you. He wants to kill you. No one will be able to protect you, not even Gaara, maybe if he had the Tanuki with him, but no… not as he is. It'd be awesome if he was, save you then after you'd be so happy he helped you, then bow chika bow wow.' Omen laughed hard at the last thing she said, wiggling her eyes brows.
'Shut up Omen.' Alix sighed softly. Apparently people were talking, or trying to get her to answer them, but it wasn't working until Omen pushed her from her own mind and cause her to opened her eyes, only to see bright, electric blue directly in her face. Her eyes widened and first thing that came to mind was to punch him directly in the jaw, in which he was throw to the left, and landed on the sand.
She growled lowly, glaring at Naruto. "Keep your face as far away from my face as possible. I hate it when people are too damned close."
"b-but Alix, that hurt! You didn't need to punch me so hard!" Naruto whined, sitting up in the sand, before standing up and jumping over to where the 3 other Konoha Shinobi's stood, next to Gaara.
"That's your own fault."
"Naruto!!"
Alix visibly squirmed at the high pitch that Sakura used, almost tempted to just cover her ears. Her eyes took a glance at Gaara, only to see him smirking at her reaction. She only glared at him.
"Why are you guy's here anyways?"
"We're reinforcements for Gaara-san." Sakura turned to face Alix, after punching Naruto hard in the head, only to cause him to whine more.
Shino, who hadn't said anything just nodded his head and left to head some where's else. Kiba and Akamaru was talking… or something, she wasn't paying attention, before Naruto jumped in front of Gaara, asking immediately about Ramen, earning a glare from Sakura, a glare from Gaara and a laugh from Alix.
"Oh! Right, Alix-chan! Where's Mike!?" Naruto spun around, only to see that Alix's laugh had vanished like nothing, and she looked away. "Naruto… He's… He's dead."
"What!?"
"He was killed when we were coming here. I was stupid and left him to fight Shinobi on his own, and that resulted in his demise."
Naruto's eyes widened, and his head lowered, for only a moment, before grinning and giving her a thumbs up. "Hey! Don't get upset about it Alix-chan! I'm sure Mike-san wouldn't want you to be upset about it!"
Alix looked at him, and nodded. Now that she felt like shit, it was nothing like lying to the poor child. "Your right."
"Well, I'm going to go find some ramen! Come on you guys!" Sakura and Kiba nodded, waved goodbye to Gaara and left. By this time, the sun had started to set.
Alix sighed. "God I hate that…"
"Let's go for a walk, Alix."
Alix looked at Gaara for a moment, nodding her head slightly, following behind him as he started to walk away. Her arms crossed over her chest.
"What were you talking about with Omen?"
Alix glanced at Gaara, shrugging her shoulders lightly. "I got visions of where Batman's and MaiAki's children are…" Alix paused, looking ahead. "I saw only a glimpse of the one ruling Sound. He showed us the pictures… apparently he knows me, but I don't know who he is…"
Gaara was silent, nodding his head as she spoke, the sound of a crack resounded, causing the two to turn around and look at the sky as it light up with 3 different colors.
"Retreat?"
"Apparently."
"Why would they call retreat already, it's only been 5 days…" alix sighed softly, closing her eyes. "I guess this means we can rest…"
She seemed to be relieved, as if she could finally get some rest like she hadn't got no sleep in the time she had been gone away from him. He nodded, everyone around them cheered. Everyone could go back to Sand, with the watchful eye of all Shinobi and him.
-----------------------------------
3 hours and almost everyone was back at Sand, all citizens and civilians returning, Kankuro and MaiAki had vanished, and Alix was walking through the streets of Sand, thinking over what had actually happened when she was with Gaara the first time. She smiled lightly at the thought of him embracing her on the rooftop, telling her he'd be with her always. She had missed being with Gaara before, when she was alone, and she didn't think that Gaara felt the same way.
Coming out of her little memory, she looked up at the moon for only a moment, her mind spacing out before coming into contact with something hard, before grabbing onto her, so she didn't fall back. Her eyes blinked for a moment, looking at the person who was apparently holding her.
"Gaara?"
"Alix…"
His voice seemed to be lost, as if he didn't know what he was doing. His eyes was reflecting something she really couldn't place. People around her - which was only a little group - stopped and watched what was going on with the notorious Kazekage and the Chunnin. A swirl of sand covered them, and they vanished, back to the rooftop that they usually stayed when one was angry or sad.
"Something wrong…?"
"Do you really forgive me, for what I did?"
She backed up lightly, at what he asked, she looked away from him. "Not really, but I already told you I'd give you a chance, didn't I?"
He was quiet, and suddenly, he brought her to his chest, the need for him to hug her was huge. He wanted to be comforted with her in his arms. Alix was stunned at what he was doing, uncomfortable for a moment, before wrapping her arms around him.
"Gaara… Do you sleep?"
His head shook lightly, indicating that he didn't. "I haven't slept since Shukaku left… I can't sleep." He pause for a moment. "I only feel calm when I'm around you… you're scent is intoxicating.."
Her eyes widened, this wasn't Gaara, and she looked up at him, and he was looking down at her. "Gaa--" She was silenced with his lips brushing over hers softly, her eyes softening before closing and leaning into him lightly. Their lips beginning to move together before tongues were involved in the deepening kiss. She was being bombarded by Gaara, and she was losing the small war between them. Pulling away, for air, she opened her eyes and looked at him, a small smile crossing her lips. He was worried she'd be mad, but due to the smile, he gave one back, gracing her with his smile.
"I want to sleep.. So bad.." His face moved to nudge into her neck, breathing in her scent, her hands moving back to his hair, letting her fingers run through it, his body lightly leaning into her.
"Then let's sleep…"
His head moved lightly, sand swirling around them once again, and they were in one hell of a large room, it took Alix a moment to adjust to looking around the room - which was obviously Gaara's. He moved her back, pushing her onto the bed with him on top of her, making it the most awkward, sexual position that any fan girl would dream of having. She smiled, even though she was in this position. Leaving Alix for a moment, he took off his gourd and put it against the wall, Alix moving back to hit the backboard, her shoes slowly being removed from her feet. Gaara moved into the bed and instantly, he moved closer to Alix, her arms moving to hug his neck, like he was a child - which in her eyes he looked like it. Slowly, her fingers, once again moved through his hair, his breathing becoming shallow, and then leveled out, to indicate that he was sleeping. And she helped him sleep for the first time. Slowly, she slipped into the oblivion of sleep.
