Chapter 12
The Ceremony of Sound
Today was the day, the accursed day to Naruto. The day he would be locked up in the house so no one would see him. He would practice his dance for the ceremony in the garbs provided to him by Tsunade. Although he was quite curious as to what the Sound ceremony had to deal with. Naruto shook his head and he went off towards the bathroom.
Washing his face he looked at the mirror and saw Orochimaru behind him. Gasping Naruto looked behind him and saw nobody there. Grasping onto his chest as he felt his heart beat fast Naruto quickly went out of there. Breathing slowly Naruto went out towards the kitchen and out in the back. Going through the garden he met up with the snow covered flowers. He wondered what they would look like in the spring. Sasuke told him they were a lovely red and orange. Like fire… The fire that blooms in spring…Haruhi… It was a lovely name. But why did it have to be his first bourns name? Looking at the dead pedals of the flower on the ground they were black like ash. Like a fire that would soon be put out.
Naruto quickly went towards the inside. For the next three days he would be stuck indoors trying to keep away from the Sound nin that would probably be after him. It was a scary day but he would have to go out and dance on the night of Fire. He was wondering what the night of Sound had to deal with. He heard that the ceremony of dark was to go for 2 days because of celebration of Rizu's twin brother Kazu. The dance of Rizu would take place on the day of Kazu's dance and that was 2 days from now.
--The Animal God Kingdom
Kyuubi walked around the castle grounds. With no Kakashi to tell him to go to bed he found this as an opportunity to walk around. He was nearing the twin waterfalls that were also the heated baths from the volcano's heat. There were walls set up so there would be privacy for the submissive males and females while they bathed. The male bath house was opened for all to view. Turning the corner Kyuubi heard a soft laughter. Looking at the source his eyes led him to a branch on a tree that had a good sight of the women's bath.
Long white hair trailed down the back of the old man. Wearing a red jacket and mesh underlining the man was dressed in greenish tan clothes while his nose was bleeding from the sight of the women. Kyuubi sighed and placed his hand on the tree setting it on fire and quickly heating it up. The man above him jumped out of the tree and landed in the ladies bath house. The women screamed and ran out of the bath seeing Kyuubi at the entrance they all clambered behind him. Kyuubi asked permission and they all nodded covering their breasts.
Kyuubi entered and walked on top of the water by placing chakra on his feet. Once getting to his destination he knelt down poking the leg that was twitching from the pain sticking out of the water. "Oi Jiraiya… If you're going to spy on the women make sure no one is on patrol first." The women sighed in relief at the sound that it was only Jiraiya. Wait a minute… JIRAIYA! The women screamed and went off to find their mates or ran back to their houses. Jiraiya stood out of the water and tried running after them.
"Wait ladies! Come back! I mean no harm!"
Getting pushed down into the water again, Kyuubi sighed. "Sensei… I don't get you at all. You're such a pervert…" Jiraiya looked up at the king in anger. Black eyes meeting with red slitted eyes.
"You should show respect for me boy! I was the one who taught you everything you know and still you treat me like a pervert. Well guess what you're a pervert too so get used to my actions already!" Kyuubi dunked him again sighing.
"You may have taught me Jiraiya… But that still gives you no rights to stare at women in the bath houses." Kyuubi pulled him up by his hair.
"You're so mean Kyuubi! After all the many years we spent traveling and me teaching you, you still won't treat me like the teacher I am!" Kyuubi's eyes glinted as well as his sharp teeth.
"You're a perverted hermit toad… I have all rights to pick on you…"
"Oh sure, go back to the whole race thing! You're so racist Kyuubi!" They looked at each other then laughed.
"Oh Kyuubi, that was a good one!" Jiraiya laughed at his young student.
"You taught me well Jiraiya-sennin." Kyuubi said to his trainer.
"Ah, speaking of sennin. I heard that Orochimaru is to be wed to your son. Is he not?" Kyuubi growled and began walking with his old teacher.
"That's true sensei… Also speaking of sennin. I sent Naruto off to Konoha to visit Tsunade… I decided to go there once Naruto takes rule of this place to get healed from this sickness." Coughing a few times Kyuubi looked over at Jiraiya.
"Orochimaru is sick that way, in wanting Naruto as his own. A man like that doesn't deserve your kind Arashi. You know more than anyone that Naruto isn't to be mated to that man." Kyuubi smirked.
"Why else do you think I sent him to Konoha?" And with that Kyuubi continued his walk around the castle. Jiraiya was confused, why had he sent Naruto to Konoha? Kyuubi look back. "Oh and Jiraiya… I have a special mission for you…" Jiraiya looked at Kyuubi and nodded his head.
"Yes your majesty?"
--With Sasu and Kakashi!
Sasuke had just begun his training for learning the Chidori. Today he would be learning basic Chidori. Gathering the chakra in his hands Sasuke tried his hardest to do what Kakashi was doing. Copying the copy ninja he finally got the chakra out of his hand. It was now visible and he could attack whatever he wanted to.
Sasuke never felt this kind of power before. It was new to him. Hearing something close by him and Kakashi hid from sight and went a distance a ways. Looking at the people who were coming through he saw a large group of sound ninjas going through the clearing.
Listening carefully he could hear some people talking. One with long black hair and yellow eyes said to the other with silver hair and glasses "Are you for certain that damned fox has sent Kakashi and the others to Konoha? You did hear that Naruto-brat is there as well right?"
Sasuke's eyes went wide, how did they know about Naruto? Were they from the Animal God Kingdom as well? Listening further he heard from the silver haired man, "Yes I am for certain that Kakashi is here as well as Gaara. But Kyuubi told Kakashi to train some person a 'technique'."
"I know of this technique… Kakashi used it against my father hundreds of years ago. Kabuto… go ahead to Konoha and find where that damned kid is staying at. I need to know where my fiancé is staying at…" Sasuke cringed at the words. So this was Naruto's fiancé that he was so afraid of.
Once all of them passed Kakashi and Sasuke stopped hiding. Kakashi was rubbing his head as if he was in pain. "Damn it… Orochimaru knows of our plans… Sasuke we don't have much time. I need to teach you all you need to know." Sasuke nodded and they went back to work.
--The Ceremony of Sound (Gaara)
Gaara looked as the real Hokage appeared that morning. There all the Kages were that were to be here: Kaze, Ho, Mizu, Rai, and Tsuchi. The others were looking at Tsunade as she appeared asking where Naruto was. Tsunade reported that Naruto was just filling in for her and he would be dancing in the ceremony of Fire. The music was playing and thus began the parade. Tsunade could visibly see and hear Gaara's breath becoming angry and scared as the Otokage appeared. Tsunade looked at him and her breath hitched. She being one of the great Sannin she saw one of her old comrades and her worst enemy. Tsunade glared as he walked up the steps. Orochimaru grinning at her she looked away towards her people. "You're dismissed!" They all went about their ways.
Orochimaru saw Gaara and smirked at him laughing a bit. Gaara glared at him and turned away. Orochimaru caught up with him and began asking, "Where's he hiding Gaara-sama? You know you cannot hide him from me forever…" Gaara looked at him confusedly, "Who the hell are you talking about?"
"Why Naruto-kun of course…" Gaara looked at him and went walking, "He's not here if that's what you're talking about… I haven't seen him since he ran away from the kingdom weeks ago. For all we know he's dead…" Gaara continued walking.
"Or are you just trying to hide your dear brother from me?" Gaara glared at him.
"He is NOT my brother! This conversation is over." He turned and walked away from the other. Not wanting to hear anymore…
Once getting out of Orochimaru's sight Gaara grabbed his chest and panted. He was scared, he wasn't sure how many times he could keep this up. He loved Naruto and he was a brother to him. He wanted him to be safe…
"Gaara-san?... Are you alright?" Gaara turned to find his mate looking at him. Gaara smiled and took Lee's hand in his. "Just trying my hardest like you always tell me to do…" Lee smiled and kissed Gaara.
"You're doing just fine Gaara-san… He'll be fine; after all he is your brother…" Gaara nodded and walked with Lee's hand in his. "Let's get you some food. I bet your starving…"
"Not really…" Lee said to his companion.
"Oh you will be once I'm finished." Gaara said with a glint in his eyes.
"You're a pervert like your father!" Gaara smirked and they both disappeared.
--With Naruto!
Naruto was inside with all the curtains pulled. Practicing his dance, exhaustion was getting to him and he fell down on the ground. "I think that's good enough for today."
Hey Kit? Why are you so exhausted?
Because I've been practicing the dance… By the way Chichiue, what does the ceremony of Sound deal with? I mean what goes on in it anyways?
It's hard to say Kit… It's been years ago since I've seen the last ceremony.
I see…
Don't do anything that will get your cover blown Kit. There are goons everywhere in Konoha. And I'll be there in a flash if anything happens to you…
I won't…
Cutting off his connection Naruto put on some pajama's and went towards the bed. He missed the feel of Sasuke next to him. It was something he knew was missing. He loved the man. And he would feel more secure once the man was home.
With that he fell asleep to the creepy music playing that night.
--Gaara
"Shukaku wandered around the dark fields of the world. His father told him something was waiting there. There was something that was tingling his ears. A creepy tingling feeling. The forest was dead with nothingness. But something made his ears hurt."
Gaara's head turned from side to side. Mimicking the movements of the story. He walked around the area and stopped when he saw the thing making the sound.
"Shukaku stopped as he saw what was making the sound. He had never heard anything before with his ears so it was new to him. 'Shukaku,' his father spoke, 'This is 5th sibling, Otoku. The god of sound.' Shukaku was confused at his younger brother. He looked him over to see how he was creating this weird phenomenon."
Gaara circled around Orochimaru looking him over. "Seeing as his brother wasn't harmful Shukaku listened as his brother created a tune." As Orochimaru was creating the music Gaara began to dance.
"The tune entranced Shukaku and he began to dance to the movements his brother was controlling him to do." Gaara pretended to go into a trance and fallowed the movements of the dance he learned. Going nearer to Orochimaru Gaara prepared himself for the part he didn't want to do. He and Orochimaru were supposed to only stage kiss but Orochimaru actually kissed him. Gaara cringed slightly so it wouldn't be visible to the audience. But Lee who was in the audience was gripping onto the tree branch. He saw his mate being kissed by the snake. Lee gripped hard to the tree hearing it crack under his grip.
Gaara and Orochimaru released their lips and the dance continued. Gaara hating every minute of it.
