It's been some time till I update this story. But I need some ideas. Well, here goes nothing..
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
It's 6 in the morning, people began their daily routines. Became aware of the busy street and noise of singing bird near her place, the young woman began to arise from her deep slumber.
Yuna's POV
"Urgh! What time is it?" searched for her clock. 'Hmm.. It's 6 a.m. Guess I still have time nee.'
I walked to my bathroom. The cold shower wake me up. My mind wandered to the dream I have last night. Happy dream about me and Gaara. My Gaara. 'No, I can't think him that way. He is the Kazekage and I am just an me'
Wrapped up in the darkness of every day, chained by my freedom
The dreams we had together were so bright,
I could no longer look myself in the face directly.
I got dress real quick. Checked my pack again, I didn't bring much but enough for traveling. I wear black tank top with black shorts and my ninja gear. Well, I am thinking that I traveled with Kages maybe there'll be a rough ninja. I looked my appearance again. My hair up to ponytail, show of my face. My body not so curvy but it's good and I am not flat-chested woman. I can't help but think..
There's only one thing I can see in my filthy mirror
A light that's no illusion... you are my light.
Cleared my head and began to walk to the gate. I could see bunch of people at gate, that's when I see Jun. He's looking for me, so I sneak behind him and tease him a little bit.
'Um, where's Yuna-chan? Is she overslept? Maybe I should go to her apartment.' Jun thinks
All of sudden, "BOO!"
I swear he looks like having heart attacks. I was laughing so hard.
I hug him and said, "I am gonna miss you."
He ended up crying so hard, making all people looking to us.
"Aww, come on here.I will write letter and maybe I will back again but I don't know when. You have to be a great man and make your parents proud for you." I continued. He just nod and smile.
I felt a little guilt to leave Jun behind, but I have to go. With another hug, I leave him and join the group.
Naruto asked me, "Will it be okay?" I just gave smile to assured him.
My eyes scanned through some ninja and stopped at the Kazekage.
He's talking with blond haired girl with her hair into 4 ponytail and the man with painted face ? "Um, Naruto. Who are they? What is he wearing?" I questioned him.
"Ahh, they are Gaara siblings. The blond girl is his older sister, Temari and the man with painted face is his older brother, Kankuro. It's indeed a cat suit. Hahaha" Naruto said. All of sudden, the cat man pointed to us and they looked us, directly.
Gaara's POV
"Hey Gaara, who is that chick?" asked Kankuro. When I followed his gaze, it turned out to be Yuna. Our gaze locked, it felt like I am drowning in her gaze.
"Gaara?" Temari frowned. I realized that I haven't answer Kankuro's question.
"She's Yuna. Apparently she is Tsunade's apprentice." I explained.
"Wow. Pretty and strong? Nice."
"Kankuro, don't mess with her." I said.
"Why?"
I glared him, "Just don't" with venom in my voice.
"Gezz Gaara chilled out. I don't know she's your woman." I felt my face redden a little bit..
"Wow, didn't see it coming." said Temari.
After we check our supplies, we began our travel to the next village. Then the scenery changed, as we can see everything's white. It's snow. We continued walk and not very long we spotted a village. It's not a big village. When we arrived, there was the daimyo and people that already wait for us. We walked to them as they greet us.
"Welcome to Snow Village, I am the daimyo here. My name's Hiro Hatsuhachi. I think we should go inside." said the old man.
"Heck ya. I'm freezing here." shouted Kankuro. 'SMACK' Temari hit him again."Show some respect!" Everyone was laughing at that.
The building was amazing, we can see the whole village covered with snow. Even Yuna was excited and went to balcony with Naruto. I can help but smile.
Temari's POV
"Hey Gaara.." I saw him smile, a tiniest smile. When I followed his gaze, he was looking to the brown haired girl. Kankuro who stood beside me has notice it. We understand that Gaara has change and we're both happy for that. But I think he need someone special, Yuna will be perfect for him.
"Hey Gaara, stop starring at her will ya? You need to go. The meeting is about to start" teased Kankuro.
He blushed and said, "I didn't stared at anyone. Especially a woman, there's no attractive woman here."
I saw the woman we talked stand before us. She looked sad. 'Crap! She overheard that!'
"Come on Gaara. You need meeting to attend." I said.
"For you're information, I don't need useless woman as my wife, leave alone as a girlfriend." Gaara said a little bit louder. Everyone heard it, including her. She stood there a little bit shock and walked away.
Suddenly, Yuna walked out from building.
"Did she heard it?" Garra looks pale.
"Yes. You have to talk to her. But first of all, let's go to the meeting. 'Kay?" I said
He just nodded.
Yuna's POV
My heart ached as I ran out the building. There's no reason for me to upset or sad. He's Kazekage and I am nothing to him.
Some people said that he was a monster. Cause he was a demon vessel. But he didn't scare me, he make me love him. It's love at first sight, one side love. From now on I will keep away from him. Make some distance between us.
'I'm not scared to love you.. I'm scared of rejection.'
As I come inside I notice Naruto. "Where have you been Yuna?" He asked.
"Aah, I just walk around the building" I smile. But inside I break..
"What's it Yuna?"
"Nothing. Just so much to think about. Hehehe.. relax Naruto. Why don't we go get some ramen?"
Gaara's POV
The meeting's going on pretty well. After that the daimyo asked us to join the dinner with him. The Kages were okay with that, so we headed to the restaurant.
I didn't expect to see Naruto and Yuna there. But they didn't notice us until "Daddy!" cheered a woman. "Kages, please let me introduce my daughter, Kagome." she smiled to us.
He continued, "I have a request for the Kages, specially to the Kazekage. You see I want my daughter marry a noble man. I have a man in my mind that will perfect for my daughter, and it's you the Kazekage."
Shocked was written on me and my siblings face. "Wow, that's fast. Don't you think he will have to think about it" said Tsunade-sama.
Yuna's POV
"Daddy" yelled the woman. "Don't be like that. The Kazekage look like he got heart attack" she giggled.
"Yuna, is it alright?" asked Naruto "I know you love the Kazekage." he whispered.
"It's best for both of us Naruto. He doesn't deserve me. She's the princess and I am sure she will be faithful to him" I said but inside I could hear my heart crack into pieces. "Can we just eat and go back? I am tired."
Naruto just shrugged and ate his ramen. I wondered what the Kazekage will say, but I think I don't want to know.
How long has it been since I fell in love with you?
My feelings only increase
Will you notice them
Even though I've never once put them into words?
I ate in silence, thinking that it's for the best. I assumed that my feeling for him just illusion. Not the real love. As we finished our dinner we go back to the building. We couldn't help but to greet the Kages and the daimyo.
"Ah, so this is you ninja Tsunade-sama. They're young and at the same age as my daughter and the Kazekage." said the daimyo. I could feel someone staring at me, but I don't want to look. It's Gaara after all.
Like the snow, they just
Quietly keep accumulating
Outside, I watch the snow falling with Naruto beside me. "They're pretty" he said. "Yes, indeed" I answered. I could feel the tears at the corner of my eyes. Slide down my face, the wind blow make me shivered from the cold and the broken heart.
Hold me tight- if this is how it feels
I didn't want to know
What it was like to be in love with someone
I love you- my tears won't stop
And so I wish
That I had never met you
The buildings divided into two sectors. Ninjas stayed at one sector and the other for Kages. I stayed up late so Naruto accompanied me. He soothed me, and said that everything will be alright.
How long will I be thinking of you?
My sighs fogged up the window glass
As I looked outside I can see the Kages have come back with the daimyo and his daughter. They chatted and laughed around. I saw the smile on Kazekage face.
Can a candle flame
Still melt my trembling heart?
Naruto leaved the room after saying "Hooam, I am so tired Yuna. I think I will get some sleep. Good night." The night became much colder.
Hold me tight, tight enough to break me
So that even in an icy wind or a blizzard
I won't feel cold
I miss you- every time I think of you
Tonight, too, I hold
This half-finished muffler, all alone
The snow stopped falling. I could see Garra glance at me for a second but I turned away as the princess shared her cloak.
If there was an eternally falling snow
Could it hide my feelings for you?
They have come inside the building. My swollen eyes blur again, the tears that have stopped come again. I sobbed through the night.
Hold me tight- if this is how it feels
I didn't want to know
What it was like to be in love with someone
I love you- the feeling wells up in my chest
I want to shout to the wintry sky
"I want to see you right now"
'Hold me tight... I love you...'
