Me: (sweat-drop) ignore her. -_-"
Me: OMG! Sorry for the mess up there with Kiba's name I fixed it though… I think? Let me know if I missed something.
His red eyes went back to the beautiful blue ones that I love. He walked over to me slowly like I was an animal ready to run, which I probably was right now. I was shaking so badly, and I still couldn't move too much. Naruto grabbed a blanket from a nearby chair covering me with it.
"Are you ok? Did he hurt you?"
He asked wiping my tears away. I shook my head slightly.
"N-n-no…"
I was able to choke out. He gave me a comforting smile.
"It's ok he can't hurt you now."
He sooth. I let myself fall into his arms crying my eyes out for the first time in I don't how long.
"I'm here Iori I'm here."
He kept repeating rubbing my back. Soon my eyelids grew heavier sleep taking over me.
"Don't… she… might be…"
I slowly opened my eyes going blind with sun.
"Your awake."
Naruto said sitting next to me. Finally able to open my eyes all the way I checked our surroundings. We were in the forest.
"Naruto?"
He put a finger to my lips telling me to 'hush.'
"I brought us here after you fell a sleep, and I just got back with Akamaru."
I looked behind him seeing Akamaru stare at me with sad eyes.
"You… to...ld him?"
I asked my voice cracking probably from the crying last night. He nodded.
"Yeah that ok?"
I nodded. Akamaru laid down behind me letting me lean back on him. Naruto gave me some water, which I accepted. I looked down at my body realizing I was only in a rope. I pulled it tight around my body blushing.
"Naruto can you get my pack please?"
He nodded handing it to me. After an hour of resting some more we decided it was best we got going. Gaara was sure to worry if we didn't get there when we were supposed to. The rest of the trip there we barely said anything to each other only stuff like 'if we should stop' or 'if you're hungry?' but that was Naruto asking. Since that day I've been really quiet.
"Hey… can we talk?"
Naruto asked. I looked back at him.
"Can't it wait? I mean the village gates are right there."
I said pointing at them. He shook his head.
"Not really."
I sighed.
"What do you want to talk about?"
I asked sitting down. Akamaru sat next to me making me feel safe.
"About what happened in that village."
He said pointing the way we came. I looked down at the sand with a distress look.
"There's nothing to say."
I mumbled. I pulled my legs up to my chest not meeting Naruto's gaze.
"I think there is… you almost got raped how can you not want to talk about it?"
He asked. I shook my head.
"Because I don't Naruto. Can we just get this mission over with?"
I mumbled against my leg trying to calm myself before I start crying again. I cried in front of him once I wasn't gonna let it happen again.
"Not until you let me help you however you need help it."
He said. His arms rapped around my shoulders pulling me in his chest. I shook my head.
"I don't need help Naruto I'm find."
"Yeah your find."
He said rolling his eyes.
"What's that suppose to mean?"
I asked my voice shaky.
"That!"
"What?"
I asked not getting it.
"If this was last week you wouldn't have asked you would've demanded to know, and be threatening me to shut up. Iori your depress…"
"I am not depressed. I don't get like that I'm not some over emotional girl."
I snapped. I pulled away from him but he pulled me back.
"Iori let me help."
He said almost pleaded with me. His eyes showed hurt, and worry in them I didn't like making him feel that way.
"Naruto what can you do?"
I asked feeling tears threaten to pore over.
"Well let's look on the bright side."
He said.
"What bright side?"
I asked. I couldn't think of one damn bright side.
"Well we're almost to the village where you'll see Kankuro your crush."
I blushed.
"Naruto."
I whined. He chuckled.
"We're gonna have a blast cause Temari always planes something for us to do when we come."
That was true Temari always planed something when she hears her friends are coming up.
"True."
I admitted.
"And we became pretty close from what I can see."
He said. I looked up at him.
"Really?"
I asked. He nodded. I thought about it we haven't fought like we did before the mission only… that time with Toru…
"See Iori now come on let's get to Suna I bet Gaara heard word of us just sitting here, and is getting impatient right about now."
He stood up pulling me with him.
"Naruto?"
I said when he started walking away. He turned to me with his smile that makes me melt from it.
"Yeah?"
I smiled back at him.
"Thank you for everything."
I said. He gave me a thumb's up.
"Anytime."
He said. I was feeling ok again, happy cause that's what Naruto does he make people happy. I ran past him looking back I grinned.
"Race you there!"
I shouted. Akamaru barked running to catch up. It took Naruto a few seconds to figure out what was happening before he started running. We laughed as we tripped in the sand, and ended up rolling down sand dunes but you know what? To hell with it. By the time we got in through the village gates we all collapsed onto the ground tired, out of breath, and hot from the heat. I looked at Naruto, and he looked to me with a smile, which I returned. Three shadows stood for us.
"Hey… Gaara!"
Naruto somehow managed to shout through breaths. I only waved at the sand siblings.
"How you doing?"
Temari asked. Kankuro kneeled in front of me handing a bottle of water. I drank half of it, and gave the rest to Akamaru.
"Good."
I was finally able to reply.
"Why were you two sitting on the dune?"
Gaara asked.
"Just needed to talk."
Naruto said. I was grateful he didn't tell them what had happened to me. After we were done with ninja business Temari turned to us with a big smile.
"So you two feel like hitting a club here in Suna?"
She asked. I looked to Naruto he shrugged.
"Why not?"
He said. I nodded.
"What are the clubs like here?"
I asked. Konoha were pretty mellow so what was Suna's like?
"Nothing like Konoha's."
Kankuro said rapping an arm around my shoulders. I blushed lightly at the touch but it died down.
"Really now?"
I said.
"We'll dance, we'll catch up, and we'll drink."
Kankuro said. I gave a confused look.
"Drink? Kankuro your not even eighteen you can't drink yet, and nether can we."
I said gesturing to Naruto. He nodded.
"I know the bartender don't worry."
He said. I shook my head.
"Gaara does it."
Kankuro said. Naruto, and me turned to say red head.
"Nothing like Kankuro."
He said shrugging. I sweat-dropped.
'God I hope he doesn't end up like Tsunade.'
I thought thinking about the Hokage's drinking problem.
"I guess we could."
Naruto said looking to me for any objectives. I sighed.
"Sure what the hell."
I said. Temari squealed taking my hand, and dragging me off to god knows where, to do god knows what.
"Where are you going!?"
Naruto shouted.
"To get ready!"
Temari shouted back, and told Akamaru to go with the boys.
"Hey wait!"
Naruto said catching up to us. He pulled Temari aside handing her a bag she nodded taking the bag.
"What's that?"
I asked eyeing the bag.
"Later."
She said.
Me: I'm really hoping to have a lemon soon maybe two more chapters? Sorry BillyZhao like I said more two… hopefully. -_-"
Kaya: why do you update so much? And why do I have to help you with all of them now!?
Me: cause you said you would, and I have no life so why not?
Kaya: yeah you don't…
Me: neither do you! So shut up!
