Disclaimer: Naruto ish not mine

Ok first off I'd like you all to know I'm trying my best to put this up as fast as I can, but it's hard with school but I swear it'll never be more the 2 weeks in-between chapters.

Also I got my first flame for this fanfic, wasn't really sure what he/she was talking about but I'm pretty sure he/she didn't like Tuyen (and was a little jealous) but I would really like to know… is Tuyen a little marysueish?

If so how can I change her to make her less like that? to me her fault was she's kind of stupid and not really all there…. But maybe I'm not putting that out as much as I should…. Anyway please tell me!!! This in important to me.

---------------------Chapter 12--------------------------

All is well... for a time

After that Tuyen's days changed dramatically, almost like clockwork Gaara would pick her up and take her to the wall to see the sunset. They where there right now as a matter-a-fact, enjoying the beauty of just one simple part of nature.

At first Gaara hardly ever talked and would stand a few feet away from a sitting Tuyen. Just listening (if he did, Tuyen was never sure) to the girl's chatter. But as time went by the brunet was soon able to get entire sentences out of the demon carrier. And just 3 days ago she had gotten him to sit down next to her.

-Flash back of 3 days ago-

"Gaara you really should sit down you're making me tired just looking at you" Tuyen complained one day as she looked up at the red head who was standing next to her.

Why do you care?" was his simple reply not even looking down at the brunet.

This didn't bother the girl who was now accustomed to Gaara's manner. Laughing lightly she tugged on the little white sash that he always had draped around his shoulders.

"Cuz you're my friend silly"

The boy's eyes widened slightly as he looked down into her aqua eyes as they smiled back up at him, "your friend?"

"Yep! Now hurry up and sit down" she told him

Slowly, as if the whole wall was going to crumble, he sat down next to Tuyen. The young girl laughed as she scooted over to make room for him.

"There you go now you can relax"

"Are you really my friend?" Gaara asked not entirely sure what the word really meant. This earned another light laugh from Tuyen.

"Of course silly!!" she said nudging him playfully "and I'm not your only friend, you have Naruto to" Gaara looked at the sunset thinking this. "Hey maybe we should invite him to come here to" Tuyen said thinking about the hipper blonde.

"No"

"Why not?" Tuyen asked slightly surprised at his instant reply.

"No"

"But why?"

"Look"

Tuyen turned to look at what Gaara was pointing at. A flock of gees where flying across the red and orange sky.

"Oh wow!!! When I see things like that I am reminded how we should be like that, always looking out for each other."

-----------------------------------------------

"Good" Inu said as Tuyen stood panting, an array of weapons lying around her.

"Thanks" the student said to her teacher as she pushed back her bangs, only to have them fall back into her face.

"I mean it Kid, your getting really good. Maybe we can team up some day"

Tuyen laughed at this "and do what?"

Inu smiled and shrugged "who knows kid… who knows"

----------------------------------------------

Then next day was errand day, this meant that Tuyen spent most of her day running around doing stuff for Gatou. Soon her work lead her to the nursery. After knocking she slowly opened the door to see about 15 or so kids running around a flushed Hinata.

"Oh Hinata Hi"

"H..Hi Tuyen"

"I have some papers for your master I'll just put them in the back ok?"

"Ok"

Once she put the papers away Tuyen came back up to the front "I didn't know you worked her" she said to Hinata.

"Y…Yah with Iruka and some others." The black haired girl said smiling down at a little 3 year old girl she was holding.

"Lucky! I wish I could work with kids!"

Just then the door opened and Naruto walked in "the futures Hokage of Konoha has arrived!"

"Hey boss came to visit me?" one of the boys asked

"Oh hey Konohamaru, nope, sorry, I came to visit Iurka-sensei, he here?" Nauto asked a suddenly very red Hinata.

"Uhh… he… he w…went out to lunch" she stammered looking at her feet as if they where the coolest things ever.

"Hey are you ok Hinata? You're kind of red…" Naruto said walking closer to the short black haired girl. Tuyen stifled a giggle as Hinata got redder.

"Oh hey Tuyen I didn't see you" Nauto said turning to the brunet who was trying not to laugh "how's it working for Gatou?"

"It's ok, how's my cousin, haven't seen him in a while" he, her cousin, had told her a few weeks ago that he was to busy to see her in the morning but he'd try to see her some other time… but he never did.

"He got promoted; don't see him much anymore… well I better go find Iurka, Bye Tuyen, Hinata, Konohamaru… and the rest.."

"Bye boss"

"B… Bye Naruto"

"See yah Naruto"

Once the blond was gone Tuyen tuned to Hinata smiled "Naruto's so nice isn't he?" this made our favorite female Hyuuga blush even more.

"O…Oh y…yes I g…guess, he's very… strong"

Suddenly the back door opened and a young boy walked "Hey Hinata I'm bac…" suddenly he stopped dead in his tracks and pointed an excusing finger at Tuyen.

"YOU!!" he cried

"Hi Koree how are you?"

"What are you doing here!" the little black haired boy asked his brown eyes narrow

"Koree d…don't be rude" Hinata said in her soft motherly tone.

"Whatever, sorry" the black haired boy muttered walking around Tuyen and toward the kitchen.

"It was nice to see you again" Tuyen called after him

"Sure, whatever"

"Well I better go, Tuyen said turning to Hinata

"Come back anytime" the Hyuuga girl said smiling "I think Koree would like that"

Tuyen looked confused at this "Huh?"

Hinata smiled "I've never see him act like that to anyone, he normally just ignores them, maybe it's because you kind of look like this mother."

"I do?"

"A little"

Tuyen smiled "well then I'll come again! Besides I'd love to talk to you more Hinata"

The other girl smiled.

"Me to"

After that Tuyen went to visit Hinata once or twice a week, depending on how her master was feeling, some times she would help the Hyuuga girl with the kids and sometimes she would take Koree for a walk around some of the buildings.

Her life was really looking up… but life as a slave rarely stayed that way….

-------------------------------------------------------

"What is it now Kabuto" Orocamaru asked as the gray haired boy walked into the snake man's office.

"I have some inserting news about a little 'puppy' or yours…"

"I'm listening…"

-------------------------------------------------------

For all those who had been patiently sitting through all those boring chapters don't worry it's all up hill from here, we have a big fight with Gaara Vs Inu, Sasuke joining Oro, and maybe some GaaraxTuyen Fluff. If you all want it, I'm a little hesitant because of the flame… (Which if you haven't already read the note about it in the being please read it!!!)
