Chapter 6
Gaara sat across from the bluenette, and they all ate silently. Temari was the first to break the silence. 'Well, I got some training to do.', she stated, as she got up and headed out the door. 'And I have to fix up my puppets before my next mission.', Kankuro added, following Temari outside. Kazumi rose an eyebrow. 'You gunna leave me too, pepper?', she said, taking a sip from her tea. Gaara stood up. 'paperwork doesn't sign itself. I'll meet you later.' He smiled, tousling kazumi's hair before leaving to his office. 'I guess it's another day of exploring the village for me.',she sighed.
~ in the village ~
*wow, people here are so polite.* Kazumi thought as she walked around a park. 'Um, excuse me, miss?', said a little girl, poking her leg. Kazumi squated down, matching eye level with the little girl. 'Yes,dear. What can I do for you?', she asked sweetly. The little girl blushed, and handed her some flowers before running off. 'Oh my.', Kazumi whispered, 'I love these kids. They're so kind.' She got up and headed back to the kazekage's tower. She was walking peacefully along the side of the road when a little boy ran past her, followed by a man, who pushed her out of the way. *the hell?!* the man managed to catch the little boy and now he was carrying him by his throat. Kazumi was furious, she transported infront of them. 'What the fuck is your problem! How dare you treat this innocent little boy with disrespect!', she barked. 'Disrespect? Innocent? Ha! Look lady, this doesn't concern you, so I suggest you leave.', the man retorted, throwing the little boy down. Now Kazumi was outraged, her hands formed tight fists, and her eyes narrowed.
Now, don't do anything rash. Calm down.
Kazumi took a deep breath, relaxing her fists. She shot out her hand and grabbed the man by the collar. 'Now you listen to me.', she growled,' if I EVER see you do anything like that ever again, I'll end you, right then and there.' The man chuckled. 'Pft. And what if I don't. What are you going to do about it, princess.?', laughed the man. Kazumi tightened her grip.
Don't do it Kazumi. You're better than that.
Kazumi ignored her jinchuuriki. 'Im glad you asked.', she smirked, 'look into my eyes.' 'Oooooh, you're going to glare me to death?', joked the man as he looked at her. His face dropped and his eyes rolled back into his head. His body went limp. Kazumi chuckled and released her grip, letting the man fall. A large group of people formed around her, they all gasped. She stepped over the man and walked over to the little boy from earlier, he was paralyzed in fear. The group of people studied her every move. 'Are you okay?', she asked the boy. He nodded nervously. Realizing what she had done, she facepalmed herself.
I tried to warn you, but did you listen to nibi? No.
'Im not going to hurt you. I'm sorry you had to experience that.', she shamefully muttered. She turned to the crowd. 'Im sorry for my actions, there is no need to be afraid of me. I'm very sorry.', she stated. It was silent, then everyone burst out laughing. 'We're not frightened! We're thankful! That man has been harassing the village for years! Thank you for finally getting rid of him!', some one shouted. Kazumi stood there in shock. Gaara had heard the commotion and decided to see what was going on. He transported himself next to Kazumi. He examined the situation, including the man. 'Continue on with your day,please.', he announced to the crowd, and they all left. Kazumi went back to the little boy, and picked him up. 'How about we go for some mochi?', she cooed. The little boy smiled and gave her a hug. 'My name is Yoshio', he said smiled and started walking towards the town. 'Not so fast, .', Gaara called. *shit! Shit! Shit! He's mad.* Kazumi walked over to Gaara, still carrying the little boy in her arms. 'What you di-' Kazumi put Yoshio down, and leaned toward Gaara. 'Lets talk about this later.', she whispered, interrupting what Gaara had said. Gaara nodded. 'Lord kazekage, this is Yoshio. Say hi to the kazekage, sweetie.', she said, looking down at the boy. He waved, hiding behind kazumi's legs. Gaara looked at him. He had a torn, brown shirt, dirty shorts, and worn out shoes. Gaara had seen him with the rest of the orphans before. 'Hello.', Gaara replied, with his usual unemotional voice. Kazumi held the boys hand, 'we're going to get some mochi, why don't you join us?', Kazumi offered. The red head only nodded, he walked on the other side of Yoshio. Kazumi swayed her and yoshio's hand while they walked. Yoshio reached out a hand for Gaara to hold, but immediately pulled it back when Gaara looked at it. Kazumi looked over to Gaara. The kazekage smiled, he held out a hand for the boy. Yoshio's face lit up, and gladly accepted it. *well, well. Look who's not all sour after all.* Kazumi,Yoshio,and Gaara walked hand in hand all the way to the mochi shop, swinging Yoshio every few steps. They ended up taking Yoshio around the village, letting him enjoy himself. It was around 8pm when Gaara carried the very drowsy Yoshio back to the orphanage, Kazumi walked beside them, knocking on the door of the building. A middle aged woman walked out. 'Oh, lord kazekage, I'm sorry if Yoshio caused any trouble for you.', she apologized as she retrieved the boy from his arms. 'There was no trouble, we enjoyed his company.', Gaara replied, putting an arm around Kazumi's waist. The lady smirked at the two, 'I see.' Yoshio rubbed his eyes and yawned. 'Will you guys be my new mommy and daddy?.', Yoshio asked, blushing. Kazumi's face saddened. 'Oh sweetie, I wish we could, but I'm not from this village, and the kazekage is a very busy man.', she replied, putting a hand on his cheek. The boy's eyes started to tear up. Kazumi kissed his forehead. 'I'll tell you what. Every time the kazekage and I are free, we'll visit you, okay?', she whispered. Yoshio smiled and drifted off into sleep. 'Thank you.', the lady whispered, as she left inside the building.
Gaara and Kazumi walked back to the tower happily. 'You're not so cold after all.', Kazumi teased. Gaara put his arm around her shoulder. 'your kindness is contagious.', he joked, coughing purposely. Gaara's arm stiffened, and he took his arm off of her shoulder. *shit! He remembered!* 'what you did was unacceptable. I should yell at you for killing one of my villagers.', he growled. 'Whoa there kitty. It was just a genjutsu.', she replied. 'It caused him to go insane!', he retorted. Kazumi sighed. 'Can we at least argue in the tower? You're creating a scene.', she said in a harsh whisper. Gaara looked around, villagers were peeping through windows, and doors of their houses and shops. 'Very well.', Gaara muttered. A dome of sand formed around them,when it disappeared, they were in his office. She glared at the red head. 'He's better off dead anyway. I should've killed him.', she mumbled. Gaara closed his eyes. 'that jutsu is only attainable when the user is kage leveled.', he stated. 'Oh, you're surprised? I was already a jounin and in the ANBU when you barely took the chunin exam.', she spat. Gaara glared at her. 'There's no need to be angry at me. I was just upset that you drove one of my villagers insane.', he remarked. Kazumi's face softened. 'I'm going to get some sleep. I'm very tired. Goodnight, Gaara.', she said, leaving the room. Gaara leaned on his desk, rubbing his temples. 'She's something else.', he sighed.
