Breathe In the Rain

7 Nation Army

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I do own Kumo Dokusatsu, Keo Soma and Rio Soma

And also, since this is a new story, I'll probably update plenty times before I buckle down on it big time then it'll be harder for me to update a lot.

And thanks to SnowStorm752 for being my first reviewer.


Song: 7 nation army

Artist: The White Stripes


Kumo sat in the office of the Kazekage, looking to a pile of papers she was expected to fill out to become an official Suna resident.

Or basically, she was no longer an alien to the desert.

Mostly.

Kumo sighed and put the pen down, her fingers were throbbing.

"You're almost done, don't stop!" He hissed, glaring at her threw his vizor.

"Yes sir!" She squeaked, looking down and continuing to fill things out.

Age...

12

Date of Birth...

October 29th

Hair color...

Dark brown, black-ish,

"This is stupid" Kumo whined underneath her breath as she filled out, yet, another piece of paper filled with simple questions.

That was till it came to her family.

"What... What..." Kumo choked on the words that she wished to ask.

"What, what?" The Kazekage snarled.

"What if I don't know my parents" Kumo whispered, looking to the blank box.

"Put deceased" he grumbled.

"But... They're not... they... just kind of... abandoned me" Kumo whimpered, looking to the book shelf on the other side, biting her lip to keep from crying.

"Just put deceased" He spat, turning to a different page in a large pile of papers.

"Okay" she whispered, filling out the words before clenching the pen with as much muscle as she could, trying to keep herself from crying.

"You asked to see us?"

Kumo turned and saw Temari and Gaara, along with Kankuro whom she was informed about through a picture the Kazekage had showed her so she would be familiar with them.

"Yes, Kumo here is done with her paper work, take her to her room and make sure she is taken care of" The Kazekage grumbled, taking the paper and pen that Kumo was handing him before the siblings came in.

"Yes sir" They grumbled before looking to Kumo.

She had long dark hair that was pulled into pigtails, which fell to her elbows.

She had bright jade green eyes that contrasted innocently against her pale, porcelain skin.

She wore a white tank-top with rainbow netting on the outside and jeans with black works written all over them, ripped to shreds at the bottom and sandles with the crescent moon design all over them.

"So, where to first?' She asked, smiling at them as she followed the three out.

"I'm off to the market" Temari growled, marching off.

"I'm going to the work-house" Kankuro grumbled, marching off as well.

"Wha... Huh?" Kumo whined, looking to Gaara.

"Do, they always do that?" Kumo whimpered.

"Pretty much" Gaara whispered, walking past her.

"Where are you going?" Kumo asked, her voice trembling as if she was hurt.

"To show you around, isn't that what I was told to do?" He mocked, eyeing her.

"Do you always do that?" Kumo whined, following him.

"Do what?" He hissed.

"Do that! grumble and glare at people, look at them like they're stupid or something." Kumo announced, stomping her foot on the ground as if she was an 8 year old.

"You are stupid or something" He hissed.

"How do you know, you barely even said Hi to me!" Kumo cried, jumping in front of him and poking his chest.

"YOU don't even know me, really know me, how dare you judge me!" Kumo stated, pouting at him.

He looked to her finger pushing his chest before picking it up and dropping it.

But the split second he touched it, he felt a sharp warmth run threw his body like electricity.

"This is your room" He growled, pointing to the room at her right.

"There's a small bathroom in there but the shower is the last door on the right, the laundry chute is inside the towel closet." He explained.

"Where's your room?" Kumo asked, eyeing him.

She had completely forgotten why she was mad.

Gaara only turned and began down a flight of stairs.

"Wait! you didn't answer my question!" She cried, racing after him.

"I never intended to" He growled.

"You know what?" She whined, crossing her arms and huffing out air, blowing her small part of bangs across her forehead.

Gaara didn't answer.

"You have to be the most rude guy I've met today, even the guy who tried to shiskabob me to a wall said Hi, he even laughed with me... before he threw knives at me, but... that's not the point, the point is-"

Gaara cut her off.

"This is the dinning room, be down here at 6 o'clock sharp each even for dinner, 1:30 sharp for lunch, and 8:30 till 10 for breakfast." He mumbled,

"Wow, why is breakfast extended?"

"Because I'm the only one up at 8:30" Gaara spat, marching off.

"Wow... how does he do it?" Kumo mumbled, racing after him only to realize he was gone around a turn and by the time she got to the turn, he had disappeared completely.

"Okay, I swear..." Kumo trailed off, looking around in a confused manor, twisting around before stomping her foot on the ground.

"This has to be the most rude place in the world!" Kumo huffed, crossing her arms and storming up to her room.

Slamming the door behind her, she glared out the small dust covered panel of windows before sighing and smiling.

"I guess I know what I'm doing till dinner time" Kumo laughed, grabbing a wet wash cloth and pulling the windows out.

After un-locking them of course.

Kumo began to scrub.

and scrub...

and scrub-

"UGH! DOES NONE OF THIS DIRT COME OFF!" Kumo cried, throwing the wash-cloth aside.

Kumo had scrubbed the windows at least 3 times each. She had scrubbed the 5 small circular windows harshly and the dried on much and smears still laid there.

However, it wasn't until now that Kumo saw the scratches with grim in the grooves, had something other than muck stuck in the grooves.

It was blood.

Dried blood.

"HOLY JEBUS!" She cried, throwing the window like a Frisbee across the floor.

"Funny word!"

"Yes, Funny word!"

Kumo looked up to the window sills that were still open to see Keo and Rio sitting in them with smiles across their faces, grim cooked in their skin like freckles.

"You two need a serious bath" Kumo groaned, covering her nose as she finally realized the smell.

"We're street rats, what do you expect!" Rio whined, crossing his arms.

"Yea, we can't afford a bath!" Keo chimed in, hanging his head.

"Are... are there many kids who don't bathe?" Kumo asked, jumping up to her feet and dusting off her asleep legs.

This only to hit her that they were asleep and couldn't hold her up.

"Ohh Geez!" Kumo cried, falling to her butt as her legs vibrated.

Bother Keo and Rio burst into mad laughter.

"You just ran from Kohana to here and you can't even stand up on your own legs... you are sad!"

Kumo whipped around to the door frame, Rio and Keo leapt from the window to the street and ran off again.

Kumo was face to face with Kankuro who was holding a small pink bag and a bottle of wine of sorts.

"What is that?" Kumo asked.

"Bathing things from Temari and sparkling cider... something from Gaara and I, house warming presents" Kankuro stated in a bland voice.

He obviously didn't like Kumo either.

"Does everyone here act like Sasuke" Kumo grumbled, getting to her feet.

Sasuke, ooh how Kumo wanted to just cut off all his hair and ring his perfect little neck.

"What are you doing?" Kankuro mocked.

Kumo blinked and realized she was making strangling gestures with her hands and glaring at the ground menacingly.

"Oops, sorry" Kumo mumbled, taking the things from his hand and racing to put them in her bathroom.

"So what kind of ninja are you?"

"Average... I guess" Kumo giggled, walking out and shrugging.

"What good are you if you think you're average?" Kankuro mocked.

"I'm worth more then you think," Kumo winked at him and began to unload her clothes from her bag.

"Really... then what's your special ability?"

"I... I run fast and... I can make people happy no matter what!" Kumo stated, smiling at him.

The aura around him was shifting, he wanted to laugh and joke along, but she could see he was resisting until he popped.

"Really?" He laughed.

"I'm serious!" Kumo stated, putting her fists on her hips as if she was a super hero.

"Fine then... I'll believe you that you're worth a lot if you can change someone so angry with the world to be a normal human being, I'll even say it in front of the whole town of Suna." Kankuro stated.

Kumo smiled and put her hand out,

"Shake on it!"

He smirked and rolled his eyes but ended up shaking her hand despite it.

"Now... who is this person?" Kumo asked, smirking on the inside, anyone he chose would be easy.

Seeing as he cracked so easily.

"You have to change my brother, Gaara"
