Chapter 4: Sandcastle wars
Sasuke sat by the adorned window in the crisp hours of morning, the san had not come out yet but this did not matter, he just couldn't force himself to sleep or even pretend to, his mind was array with thoughts.
What if he was right about Jiraiya's wife, ok maybe his just insane, how could he honestly think that's Naruto?
But all he did know was that something was going on, and Jiraiya and this woman knew something about the whereabouts of Naruto, Sasuke just had to somehow get it out of them.
Sasuke smirked as he looked out at the frosted morning, "didn't think I would give up on you that easily, did you?"
Sakura pulled the sheets close to her as she watched the man she would marry sit by the window, he had been like this most of the night, and there was guessing what he was thinking about, she sighed would he ever get over Naruto?
Sasuke turned upon hearing the sigh looking over to Sakura, "Sakura?"
"Why don't you go out for a walk or something if you cant sleep." Sakura said trying to ignore the thoughts about Naruto running through her heads, what was she kidding he was a thing of the past, he left, disappeared.
As Sasuke walked towards the door he stopped when Sakura's voice called out to him, "I know you think about him still."
Sasuke turned, "Errr No."
"I know you do, you have been staying up most nights."
"So what if I have, it doesn't mean I'm thinking about him."
"You still love him…" Sakura stated.
At this comment there really was nothing that Sasuke could say, after all In all truthfulness she was right, he fell silent making all of Sakura's worst fears known.
"Well…Sasuke, Naruto is gone. He walked out on you and on the village, his a missing nin now, and if they ever do find him he will be in a lot of trouble unless he has a REALLY good reason for it, I hate to be the one to say this Sasuke, but he left you, and you should stop dreaming in the past for something that could never be, it will never be Sasuke." Sakura finished off she was still a little mad that Sasuke still loved Naruto after being with her for so long, with this she watched the raven haired bot left the room. He didn't turn back to look at her, she rolled over on the bed pulling her pillow close to her as tears trickled down her cheeks.
Naruto pushed the heavy blankets off him before moving over to the other side of the bed and shacking Jiraiya awake, Jiraiya moaned pushing the blonde away from him.
"Hey watch it, you'll hurt the baby!" Naruto exclaimed before picking up a pillow and beating Jiraiya with it, who continued to complain with grunts of discomfort.
"Sasunaru will be fineeee, just let me sleep!" Jiraiya said not daring to open his eyes.
"No. You have to get up NOW!" Naruto pulled the blankets off Jiraiya, "We have to leave, today and as soon as possible!"
"Awww but whyyy?"
"Don't you remember, I think his onto me he called me Naruto…" Naruto said urgently trying to push Jiraiya out of the bed.
"ok OK I'll get up, but come off it he has no proof, and don't you think it would be MORE suss if we just suddenly left without reason?" Jiraiya sat up from the bed.
Naruto crossed his arms, "Well that could be, but I don't think I can stand being around Sasuke anymore, I know I'm going to say something if I don't get out of here, I'm only human after all."
"Technically, you shouldn't say anything because your mute." Jiraiya pointed out very a matter a fact.
"Whatever, just get moving, I packed our stuff up last night," Naruto said getting up out of bed, it wasn't that hard to pack up their stuff, seeing as they didn't have much in the first place.
Naruto went over to the window peeping through the curtains before moaning, another boiling hot day, just great he would roast in his long black sheets, he now wished he had white ones.
Through the dusty heat, a cart travelled towards the gate of Konoha, two guards came forward asking the cart driver what business they had with Konoha, at this a door at the side of the cart opened up, a man clad in black with face painting and carrying something as big as him wrapped in bandages stepped out, about the age of 19 by the way he looked.
"I am Sabaku no Kankurou from the village of sand, I have urgent news to tell Gaara." The guards looked up at the man clad in black and nodded.
"We don't know where he is right now, but would you proceed to the Hokage tower for further instruction."
Kankurou nodded, before they set off towards the tower.
As this was happening, a very sour faced Gaara followed his sister and his sister's lover Neji down onto the beach, Gaara couldn't help but let a small smirk slip, so now Neji was on his territory, if Neji didn't watch himself he would end up in a coffin of sand.
The smiling Temari and Neji ran together into the water, Gaara stood with his arms crossed upon the shore watching them, Gaara was not a 'swimming' type, plus as everyone knows sand goes heavy in the water therefore harder to control. If Neji thought he could outwit Gaara here, then he was wrong, Gaara would not fall for his tricks.
Gaara sat on a lump of grass, glaring at the shimmering and wet Neji, his torso glittered in the midday sun his long luscious dark brown hair clinging to his masculine shoulders, Gaara gripped his shirt pulling it down a bit exposing his collar bone, he if he could would just wrap that handsome body into…..his sand and CRUSH HIM.
Gaara was quickly brought out of his fantasy by the cold salty water that was splashed into his face, he jumped looking up at figure holding the bucket over him, he scowled upon seeing his brother's features.
"your…in my view." Gaara said in monotone voice, at this Kankurou looked behind him at Neji all wet and shimmering looking back to Gaara with a raised eyebrow.
"ok then… whatever Gaara we have to talk."
"Cant you see I'm busy." Gaara interjected.
"What perving on Neji." With that Kankurou received Gaara's death glare.
"What is it."
"Well I just arrived and all, no one knew where you were but I had a rough idea, your always around the sand."
"What's your point."
"Temari is going to have a baby and look at you, your acting like a child. And then attacking Neji, come on just be happy for your big sister, is it really that hard?" Kankurou started with the lecture.
"Shut your mouth." Gaara said, "You wouldn't understand,"
"Oh I think I do little brother, wasn't it that you were trying to talk about some stupid thing like rocks?"
"IT WAS CAKES! Rock CAKES!"
"I don't care, even if it's a stick fucking up your ass! Not EVERYTHING is about YOU brother, THIS IS TEMARI AND NEJI'S TIME."
Then are times in Gaara's life where he loses control, like when he was three and he had to be in the bath last cause he was the youngest, this disgusted Gaara so lets just say there was no bathroom when Gaara was done.
This was one of thous times and by the end of it, all you could see was Kankurou's head sticking out of the sand, Kankurou was scowling, "Way to over react Gaara."
"You weren't there, he was making a mockery of Temari, and I couldn't take it."
"So your sure it wasn't about the rock cakes?"
Gaara scowled, "Partly…yes."
"Then get me out of here!" Kankurou demanded.
It was too late now Gaara was distracted again, walking down the beach ignoring what Kankurou was saying, he was caught up in what was going on, Kankurou called after him the whole while as he walked down to where his eyes were keenly set on Neji.
A laughed Neji and Temari stood by some little kids building sandcastles, Neji leaned over and kissed Temari on the cheek before going to one of the group of children, he smiled at Temari, "Seems like they are having a sandcastle competition, they want my help."
Temari squeezed the water out of her hair nodding to Neji that it was alright before frowning, "Won't they have an un fair advantage?"
"Not….any more." Gaara said pushing past Temari.
"Watch it!" Said Neji, but he was unheard under the sound of awe coming from the children as they watched the brilliant red head, sand dusting up behind him like little whirlwinds as the sand rose below him making him, appear taller then Neji, in other words he looked like a sand god.
The children called out in glee, they knew Gaara well, while the other children were demanding that they should swap Neji for Gaara.
A little girl came forward she had brownie blonde hair that was tied up in pig tails, with rosy cheeks, "Hey Gaara-sama, are we going to make a bigger castle this time?"
Gaara nodded his head and the children cheered to their sand master.
Neji stood with a glare on his face, what was Gaara playing at? So Gaara thought that he could out wit Neji in a simple sand castle building competition, bring it bitch, Neji thought.
Neji turned to the children, "Gather me shells and rocks," the children ran off in different directions, Gaara smirked as the sand from the ground began to build up, building coming out of the ground before their eyes.
"Byakugan!" Neji called out, his eyes going wrinkly as he saw everything around him, "uhuh," he saw what he wanted out in the water a mother of pearl, running off and diving in water he received the precious shell, coming onto the shore the children begun to help Neji build his jewelled palace.
It was only small, but it was narrow and tall, with ravines around it that were filling with water, the walls of the sandcastle was covered in the most elegant shells and mother of pearls, it glittered and glistened in the sun, like a perfect replica of a temple.
As Neji looked happily at the creation he then raised his eyes, before him was the sand sculpture of Gaara piercing a kunai through Neji's chest, around it a fortress of sand, and what looked like thorns shaped from the sand, Neji looked in amazement and horror as he found that he was trapped in the fortress of sand.
Hearing the animal like calls from the children, doors suddenly appeared in the walls of sand as the half dressed children came skipping in singing Gaara's name. The surrounded Neji coming in towards him with their sticks that they have gathered.
"Gaara said we must have food for the camp fire and the Gaara temple!" one of the children called out, while another attacked with a stick Neji easily pushing the stick away the children cried in outrage at this, all the children coming forward to attack.
By this time Neji had come to the conclusion that the 'food' for the campfire was him, and the 'Gaara temple' was the sand castle in was in.
Neji began fighting off the intruding sticks, trying hard not to hurt any of the children, when in the distance he heard a battle cry, "HAIIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAA!" Neji and the kids all shocked looked up to the sky where the sound was coming from, over the fortress of sand came a figure clad in bright green with blazing black hair, landing on the ground flawlessly with a wide brimmed smile.
"I am here to rescue you Neji!" Lee said with excitement.
"What the hell is wrong with Gaara? His set CHILDREN on me!" the children scowled at this comment, everyone knows that children hate being called children.
Lee looked in the direction of the kids, who had what looked like mud smudged across their faces, "I think you offended them…"
"ATTACK, ATTACK! ITS GAARA'S ORDER!" a child called out raising the stick.
Lee pushed Neji behind him raising his hand to the band of kids, "Hold back your sticks, since when have you youths, taken up violence?"
"Since Gaara taught us!" a little red head girl called out.
"To kill is to trulyyyyyyy live!"
"To know that with have risked our lives for our king is enough!"
"I want to taste your blood!"
Ok, now Neji and Lee were really worrying about the sanity of the children, they looked at each other wearily, they didn't want to hurt the children.
Just as they were going to attack a figure shadowed down into the fortress, the children, Neji and Lee looked up to Gaara's form, his arms crossed and the wind swishing in his hair. Gaara's army fell to their knees, bowing to the almighty Gaara-sama.
"It's alright, I will take it from now." Gaara said to the bowing children, the children stood running off out of the fortress.
"What do you want Gaara!" Lee called out.
"I want… "
A silence fell over them all, Neji and Lee looked up to Gaara fearing their end.
"I want…" Gaara stood their a moment, what was he doing? Did he actually want to ruin his sisters life? Gaara sighed, "I want… you to taste the rock cakes,"
The fortress started to come down, the fresh sea breeze touching their skin again, Neji gave out a sigh of relief.
"Gaara…. I actually do love Temari."
Jiraiya pulled along the one suitcase that Naruto and him shared, it had the few clothes and survival gear that they had packed away in it, Naruto walked beside Jiraiya not making a sound and covered in his black robes.
Jiraiya looked to Naruto confused, whatever Sasuke was going to get married, but he was getting married to revive his clan. Couldn't Naruto see that there was no need in Sasuke getting married to Sakura if he found out that he already had a future heir with Naruto… even if that is a bit weird.
Jiraiya sighed, well this was it, nothing could be helped they would leave the village and any hope of Sasuke ever finding out that he had a child already.
Hope almost dwindled completely away before Jiraiya caught eye of Sasuke, the dark haired boy walking straight towards them, a smile flickered across Jiraiya's face, maybe there was a god out there, and maybe if Jiraiya played his cards right something could come of this.
"Hey! Jiraiya!" Sasuke called out coming at Jiraiya and his black robbed wife with the mesmerizing eyes at a bit of a jog, he stopped in front of them running his eyes over the woman, he sighed he knew something was up and he had to know what it was.
"Yes," Jiraiya smiled, as Naruto cursed under his black smocks, they were almost OUT!
Sasuke slipped on a cocky smile, moving his long black bangs out of his face, "Well as you probably know…I'm get married."
Naruto tried hard not to hit Sasuke in the face for being so happy and calm about it.
"Mmmmhmm." Jiraiya said.
"Well errrr," how was Sasuke going to put this? "Well….If you…don't mind."
"yes yes, get on with it." Jiraiya pushed on, he was curious now even though he could feel Naruto pulling on his sleeve.
"Well," Sasuke smiled awkwardly, "I just came by to ask if you guys would like to come," Sasuke then caught sight of the suitcase, suspicion rising, why were leaving? Was the woman Naruto?
"Hmmmm, well my wife wants to be somewhere safe to have her child… but…." Jiraiya scratched his chin apparently in thought, but inside his head beaming, THANKYOU KAMI!
Naruto tugged at Jiraiya's sleeve violently, looking from Sasuke to Jiraiya and back again, why the HELL was Jiraiya thinking about this!? There was no question, no way could Naruto hang around with the sexy raven in the same town, Naruto cursed being stuck with this perverted old man!
Scowling and frowning at the same time under the smock a she felt like he was going to rip off Jiraiya's sleeve.
"hmmmm, I'd love to. And I'm sure Mizuki would as well." Jiraiya smiled placing a hand on Naruto, who was fuming under his smock, WHAT THE HELL DID THE OLD MAN THINK HE WAS PLAYING AT!
Sasuke shook Jiraiya's hand before turning to Naruto, his onyx eyes piercing into Naruto's sky blue ones, he held his hand out to Naruto, who hesitated before Jiraiya nudged him, "Don't be rude, Mizuki."
Naruto held out his hand hesitantly, Sasuke grabbed it eagerly bringing it up to his lips before slipping on an Uchiha smile, which made Naruto blush like mad under the black smock he could still feel Sasuke's partly wet lips on his hand….he would never wash his hand again, Naruto thought in a girly fashion.
Sasuke smirked upon seeing Mizuki's obvious embarrassment, yet in a sense he could tell she enjoyed it, "I'm sorry about earlier, in fact I want to bring both of you out for dinner."
