Blinded By You Chapter 4
The night passed by quick after the hug Gaara had surprised her with she found herself a little bit too much on the exasperated side so she ended up crashing on her bed.
Last thing Rin remembered was leaving Gaara with the book and some cd's he could listen to on her cd player.
She woke up and instantly felt her arm for her watch it was 9:00 am sharp. So she did sleep a lot.
"We've been gone from Konoha for about 10 days now you know that don't you?" came the voice from the redheaded teen from her doorway. She jumped at the sound and instantly stood up.
"Hai, Gaara I will get ready just let me take a shower…Gomen." She whispered.
She heard his yes and went to her closet to take out her clothes she had especially left them there so she would be ready to leave as soon as possible. Her other stuff was in her pack on the floor of her living room. All she needed was a bit more things for instance the Naruto books.
Rin figured that the Tsunade lady could use them for research or something like that. In fact the books she had contained special detail on where Akatsuki and Sasuke where at. She figured Naruto would want to know where he was.
Gaara would want to know if he was loved in there too.
She still wanted to meet the girl they called Hinata Hyuuga and challenge the genius named Neji.
She finished her shower and together they hauled her stuff on some of Gaara's sand.
"Are you sure you don't want me to carry it?" she had asked but he had just nodded and made a sand platform with bars to hold in her pack and the boxes the books were in.
"No." he had said at last.
Rin knew something was on in his mind and she wanted to find out what it was.
The ride back to Konoha was very quiet. Something was definitely wrong. She knew it. "Was it the hug he gave me…" she thought "Maybe…he doesn't like showing his emotions so maybe…maybe he got scared and now he doesn't want to talk to me."
She sighed and began to unload her stuff. Already she had memorized the way to get to Gaara's entrance to his home. Once inside she began to talk at last.
"Gomen Gaara if I did anything to make you sad or…angry." She said and knelt down to apologize.
The room was quiet for a bit longer so she bowed down lower to show she was truly, truly sorry about whatever had happened. There was still silence.
She felt a hand on her head and looked up into blackness. Oh yeah I'm blind…she thought.
I want to be able to see…she thought. I want to see Gaara and Naruto.
"Tsunade wants to see us." He said at last and removed his hand from her head.
They arrived in Tsunade's place a bit later and sat down on the chairs appointed to them.
Rin opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by Gaara's hand on her shoulder.
"Where were you guys?" asked Tsunade's voice from in front of them.
This time it was Gaara who answered, "We went to the human world to pick up Rin's things." He said in his monotone voice.
"Kazekage-sama, you know fully well that you shouldn't risk going there by yourself without anyone to protect you both!" this time she yelled and Rin jumped at the sudden crash of something falling on the floor.
"Um…Tsunade lady….ahh….it was my fault. I was the one that told Gaara if he could take me. Please don't punish him just um…punish me. If you want you can…kick me out of your village." Came Rin's whispering voice from where she was sitting.
The room went quiet.
"You think I would kick you out of this vill-" but she never got to finish for a roudy teen came bustling in the door.
"IS IT TRUE RIN IS BACK?" he yelled running in.
"Naruto you Baka get the hell out of my office!" yelled Tsunade from her chair.
Rin felt as Naruto's hands grabbed hold of her shoulders. "Please Granny Tsunade don't punish Rin she didn't do it! Let me take the blame!" he said and began to pull at Rin to stand up.
"Rin…" came Tsunade's voice "please wait outside."
"But-"
"Now." Came Tsunade's stern voice. She seemed a bit mad.
At once Rin stood up and ran outside.
She stood against the doorway listening in to the conversation. They wouldn't notice her she hoped.
"Granny Tsunade you need to be nicer to people." Said Naruto
"Naruto let's get to the point I have a lot of paper work. Alright?" said Tsunade.
Rin took the silence as their way of saying sure ok let's go.
"Now we all know Rin isn't from our world, but we need to protect her at all costs. There are people after her. She wields more power than we can imagine. Even Sasuke and Orochimaru are after her."
"So what do you want us to do?" asked Gaara from where he was sitting.
"For one she needs to be guarded during day and night. And only one of you has both free. So I will ask you, Gaara to be her protector."
"Why me, why not Naruto he's her brother." asked Gaara.
"True…" came Naruto's voice from his seat.
"Well, for one we both know you don't sleep. Ahem, anyways the other is because Naruto has a lot of missions that he has to attend to and he still needs to find Sasuke and Orochimaru. In addition he needs to be with his team Sakura and Sai need him."
Rin was on the floor now still listening but a little afraid. If Gaara became her protector, he would have to be with her 24/7 and that would surely get on his nerves.
On the other side of the door the conversation still continued.
"So you're proposing I take care of her for a long time?" Asked Gaara crossing his arms over his chest.
"No, until she opens the key to Naruto's power." said Tsunade, "You do know, Kazekage-sama, that she holds the power to YOUR demon too, right?"
There was silence again and then the screech of a chair as it was pulled back.
"I will take care of Rin just leave me alone. And don't ever say that again. No one can help me out at all." Came Gaara's voice as he stood up.
Rin heard the footsteps and moved out of the way of the door.
"Naruto tell Rin to get in here." said Tsunade with a sigh as she picked up her fallen stuff from the ground.
Once Rin was inside in Gaara's unoccupied chair was she able to stop her heartbeat. Maybe Gaara wasn't as good a guy as she thought from the beginning. What had she gotten herself into?
"Rin you will live in Gaara's house for now. And also there are other matters to discuss. You will train under Gaara's eye and with the help of Naruto and his team they will teach you things you must learn for later on. And also…" this time Tsunade's voice dropped an octave, "I will cure your vision, you will have sight once again. But, it will be temporary it will only last a year or so. Maybe two, you will come again and I will cure you once again. Please take care and come back tomorrow the operation will be in the morning at 11 so don't be late." With that she lead them out the door and locked it behind her.
"Did you hear that!" said Naruto from her left, "Your sight it will be restored! Isn't that great?"
She sighed and said, "I'm happy don't worry but, what about Gaara is he mad or something?"
Naruto laughed patting her on the back as they walked, "Gaara is like that he's never been good on lighting up to people like you or me! In a few days he'll change a little. So don't worry he's just like that for right now."
They turned a corner and BAM!
"Ow…" came Rin's voice from the floor.
"Baka Neji you hit my sister! What the hell is wrong with you?" said Naruto from on top of her.
He helped her up and began to yell at the person Rin had wanted to meet all this time.
She crossed her arms over her chest and said, "Neji huh? The Hyuuga family genius. Just the person I wanted to meet." Rin took her fighting stance saying, "I challenge you to a hand to hand combat no holds bar."
"Naruto she can't be serious." said the black haired genius.
"Neji I think she is…" said Naruto.
"Oh I am…" she said.
Thirty minutes later they were in the training grounds. Some of the other kids form the village gathered ready for the fight.
Some people she recognized thanks to Naruto's descriptions. The annoying Sakura and Ino were there…no surprise there. And there was Naruto's friend Sai and Kiba and Shino. Others she didn't recognize like Chouji, Lee, and Ten Ten. Too many people were gathering.
According to Naruto his sensei Kakashi was there with some of the other sensei's.
She went over and took her position. She had made sure to take off her shoes and her socks. It was lighter now and she could fell the vibrations better than ever.
She bowed to let him know she was ready. The whoosh in the air told her he was ready too.
She came her fist raised ducking as he too threw a punch that almost connected with her shoulder. She kicked him and connected with his jaw. She felt as he landed a few feet away.
For her back pocket on her shorts she produced a pack it was filled with a scented powder. Grabbing a bit she made sure to make it land right on his arms and legs. The better to smell you with she recalled in her hair.
He came at her this time. "Clear shot too easy." She said and blew the powder connecting it with his arms and legs.
There were gasps and clasps of hands. She back flipped through the air and landed on her hands. She spun with her hands and began to kick her legs in different directions sending the dirt and grass under her feet flying at him. There were more intakes of breath and people saying wow and oh my god.
"Yeah go Rin!" came Naruto's scream from the sidelines.
Suddenly she felt it. The change in the atmosphere she could almost smell it the odor from before. It was here.
She was too caught up with the new visitor she didn't notice as Neji sent a kick towards her landing on the side of her rib.
"Son of a bitch…" she wheezed out coughing.
The girl Sakura kept shouting cheap shot.
She ignored the odor clawing at her and advanced towards Neji, focusing instead on his smell and connecting kicks and punches with his body. More cheers.
She knew Gaara was here somewhere. She searched quickly noticing his vibration and his smell. He wasn't far, on top of a tree to her right. Rin waved trying to get his attention then pointed towards the left where the odor and sense were coming from.
"Watch out!" came Naruto's voice.
Too late, her mind registered the situation and she found herself bound by his hands against the ground.
"Nice moves Rin." came Neji's voice from on top of her.
"You're not bad yourself but I have to end this here. Go ahead knock me out whatever." She said and let herself go.
She heard his laugh and soon she found herself in his embrace.
"Good fight I think you gave me some bruises but let's call it a tie." And with that he shook her hand walking away.
From behind her everyone cheered yelling both of their names.
"Wow," said Naruto, "You kicked ass but what was with the pointing and waving?"
She gulped and said, "Nothing, nothing at all…"
Once she had put on her shoes again she went on her way telling Naruto she already knew the way towards his house and around Konoha.
She was actually a little hungry so she walked towards the ramen place Naruto had told her about.
"Welcome to our Ramen shop, what would you like to eat." asked the clerk.
"Can I make my own ramen" she asked with enthusiasm.
"Well…its getting late and we'll close in a bit so sure go ahead." And he handed her an apron and led her to the back.
Once done with her special ramen she sat down at the front and ate it. Stopping now and then to think, she thought about the strange smell and the vibration she felt. It was strange how no one else had been able to pick up anything. I mean they could sense the chakra couldn't they?
If it is only me that picks it up that means that Gaara couldn't pick up the trail either even if I pointed him in the right direction, she thought.
She gasped, Gaara, she had left Gaara alone.
Rin tipped the Ramen guy thanking him for letting her cook and left at a fast pace.
Then she stopped and felt her way around. Once she touched one wall that seemed familiar from before she took off running again finally reaching her destination.
She knocked on the door and waited.
Finally it opened and the red head said, "Where were you?" with his usual monotone voice.
She sighed and said, "Ramen place…"
Rin heard as Gaara opened the door wider allowing her to come in.
She walked towards the living room and instantly was surprised at the smell…there was someone else here.
"Kankuro," said Gaara from behind her, "This is Rin."
She smiled trying to look polite.
"Yo, little bro." said Kankuro, "She's hot!"
Darn Kankuro he has bad hormones...lol...hahah Hope you guys liked this chappy! Ill update tomorrow again...lol...
