Chapter 7

Hissori took Awaii and Kankuro to the Hokage tower, "I hope this really works" she said as they walked the halls of the tower.

"This has to work, since Kankuro now remembers everything, he can tell your Hokage about the Sound Ninja, and since I gained new information on those idiot Sound Brothers, I can explain the attacks" Awaii exclaimed walking beside Hissori.

Kankuro walked behind the two girls, and noticed something on Awaiis arm, it seemed to be some sort of cut, "Awaii, your injured on your arm"

Awaii looked at her arm, and saw her cut, then smirked, "I Guess I lost the deal…..good thing they didn't see it"

Hissori looked at Awaii with a worried and confused look on her face, "I'm not sure if I should hit you for being stupid enough to of made a deal with those Sound Brothers, or if I should ask what would of happened to you if they would of noticed your wound" She shook her head, "I'll never understand you….you say you don't like to fight, but you JUST got into a fight….because of a deal?"

"your right, I hate fighting, but I wasn't about to just sit there and watch those bastards kick Kankuro around, knowing I was next on there list" Awaii continued, "Besides, I said I would only fright for two reasons, one; someone threatens or attacks people I care for, and two; if someone challenges me to take over as leader to the Samurai Warriors in Alabasta"

Hissori shook her head again, then stopped in front of the Hokage office, "just try not to pick a fight with Lady Tsunade, tell her all your information, and don't piss her off" Hissori knocked at the door, "Trust me, its not fun running from a woman who can take down a brick wall with just one finger"

"Come In" A women's voice shouted from the other side of the door. Hissori opened the door, allowing Awaii, Kankuro, and herself to all walk into her office. Already standing in her office was a male Leaf Shinobi with whitish-gray hair, standing all, but kinda tilted, he had a mask covering his mouth and nose, and his head band was covering his left eye.

"Lady Tsunade Awaii of Alabasta and Kankuro of Sand would like to talk to you about the war" Hissori said bowing slightly.

Awaii thought it was quiet funny seeing Hissori, the smart mouthed thief, acting like a tamed dog. Was this Tsunade lady really that scary.

The man standing in front of Tsunades desk looked at the female Hokage. Without saying anything, they nodded at each other, and he walked beside her desk. Awaii thought he was some sort of body guard….

Tsunade then nodded at Hissori, "Thank you, you may leave now" With that, Hissori left the room, closing the door behind her. Tsunade then looked Awaii and Kankuro, "What would the two of you want to talk about that has to deal with the war"

Awaii stepped forward, her clothes still covered in blood spots from her battle with the Sound Ninjas, "I have information that could end this war very quickly" She continued, "I know who attacked your men when they were going to Suna for the peace treaty"

Tsunade placed her elbows on her desk, then narrowed her gaze on Awaii, "and how would someone from Alabasta know anything about that attack"

"because I just got out of a battle with the real attackers" Awaii looked down at her clothing, "That is why I am covered in blood, I--no not just me, but Kankuro and I were attacked by brothers from the Sound Village. They both admitted to sneaking into Suna and your village, then when the time was right," She looked back up at Tsunade, "They would attack. The Sound Ninjas were the ones to ambush your men"

The man standing beside Tsunade shook his head, "We have a witness who saw Sand Shinobi attacking--"

"With all do respect, how could Sand Shinobi attack your men when they were being attacked at the same exact time your men were being attacked" Awaii pointed out interrupting the white haired mysterious man.

Tsunade must not of liked Awaii interrupting him, because she looked pretty irritated at Awaii.

Kankuro stood forward, "I know is sounds foolish, but I was among the men who were attacked. The only thing they didn't count on was Awaii and her men finding and saving me" He explained

"Who's your witness, how do you know you can trust this person" Awaii asked

"How do we know we can trust you, you both are from enemy villages" The man standing beside Tsunade asked.

Awaii quickly pulled out one of her daggers, transformed it into a katana, and charged towards Tsunade, placing it right in front of her neck, stopping just before she cut her, "If we wanted to, you both would already be dead" Awaii then pulled her Katana away from Tsunades neck, and backed away returning her Katana back into her dagger, then placing back in her back pocket.

She did all this before the white haired man could even move, or before any other ninjas came in the room. The white haired man glared at Awaii. Awaii could tell how pissed he was that she was able to do all that without him noticing anything.

"Kakashi, we came here on peaceful terms, meaning we don't want to fight" Kankuro said, he then glared at Awaii, and shook his head.

"I'm listening, tell me all you know about Sound attacking" Tsunade said looking at the two teens.

Hissori sighed and walked out of the Hokage tower. She would of waiting in the hallway, but she was told to leave by one of the guys in the hall. They told her she would just be in the way…

Once outside Hissori noticed Kiba and Shikamaru standing by the entrance, "are you guys waiting for me?" She asked them

Shikamaru opened his eyes, then sighed, "Kiba wanted to wait, so he dragged me along with him"

Hissori walked over to Shikamaru, then hit him in the arm, "Jerk, you would rather take a nap, than spend time with your own girlfriend"

Shikamaru rubbed his arm where Hissori hit him at, "Violent woman, next time I'll make sure to just wait at home"

Hissori then looked at Kiba, "Why'd you want to wait--" she then got a sly smile on her face, "You like her don't you"

Kibas face when a sudden red, and he looked away from Hissori, "I never said that!" he shouted, "I just…wanted to see if this would end the war"

Hissori laughed a little, "I'm sure you did" she nudged him, "If you don't like her, then you should try not to droll every time you see her" This caused Kiba to blush more, "Don't worry though, when it comes to guys, Awaiis as clueless as they come, so I'm sure she didn't notice"

Shikamaru, although he enjoyed seeing Kiba embarrassed, wanted to go home, "Sorry to breath your little torture fest, but I'm heading home" He looked at Hissori, "Wanna do something later"

Hissori nodded, then walked over to him, and kissed him on the cheek, "I'll beat you at Shogi tonight"

Shikamaru left, leaving Hissori and Kiba in an awkward silence, until Awaii and Kankuro walked out of the tower.

"So….how'd it go?" Hissori asked

Awaii sighed, "Well we lived….and also stopped one war, but" She looked down, "we started a new one….against sound"

"We didn't start a new war" Kankuro said, "That war was gonna happen sooner or later, we just…helped it become sooner" He then glared at Awaii, "We almost got arrested"

Hissori looked a bit worried, as did Kiba, "What happened?"

Awaii sighed again, "It was nothing, I was just proving a point"

"She pointed her Katana at The Hokages neck, just to say that we weren't here to fight" Kankuro said.

"Awaii!!" Hissori shouted, "I thought I told you NOT to piss her off"

"I didn't, she found it quiet amusing…the only thing it did was piss off that Kakashi guy" Awaii smirked, "I was too fast for him"

Hissori rolled her eyes, "Well as long as we don't have to fight each other, then I guess you guys did well"

"When do you guys have to leave?" Kiba asked looking at Awaii, and blushing slightly.

Awaii looked at him a bit confused, "Well not until tomorrow, is something wrong, you look sick"

Hissori looked at Kiba, then began laughing, "He's sick alright….love sick" She then grabbed Awaiis hand and began pulling her away from the guys, and towards her house, "You can stay at my house till you leave"

"umm…okay, but what did you mean when you said dog boy was love sick?" Awaii asked her blue haired friend.

The two of them arrived at Hissoris house, and they sat on the couch, "He's got a thing for you"

Now Awaii was even more confused, "a thing….do you come with a translation?"

Hissori laughed, "Your not the brightest Samurai are you" She sighed, "He has a crush on you"

"Really…"

Hissori nodded, "That he does my dear Awaii, he thinks your one hot Samurai" She smirked, "wait….do you like him?" Awaii began to turn a light red, and Hissori smiled really big, "YOU DO!"

"Do not!" Awaii protested, "how could I like some guy who smells and acts like a dog, even if he is kinda cute"

"HA! I knew it you do like Kiba!"

Awaii glared at Hissori, "Don't you have somewhere to be….were you cant annoy me"

Hissori stood up quickly, "Oh right! I've got a date with Shikamaru" She then rushed out of the house.

Awaii sighed, then got up to take a quick shower, she wanted to wash the blood off of her, and change her clothes. After her shower she walked back into the main room, and laid on the couch, she wanted to get some rest before leaving early in the morning.

She was just about to fall asleep when she heard a knock on the door. Awaii sighed, stood up, walked to the door, and answered it, "Kiba?"

"Hey Awaii….um, I was wondering if you wanted to go and do something" Kiba asked blushing and scratching the back of his head.

"Um, sure…why not" She answered, then left the house. The two of them then left and went to get some food.

Red walked to Gaaras office, she needed to talk to him. She walked into his office, "Gaara, we need to talk" She said to him

Gaara looked up from his piles of paper work, "I have paper work to do"

She walked over to him, "I understand that, but Gaara, you need to take a break, even the Kazakage needs to get out sometimes"

He shook his head, "I cant, not with the war going on"

Red sighed, "Gaara, lets just take a walk, or sit on the roof like we use to do, just relax….for a little while"

He looked up at her, then looked out his window, he noticed that it was already night time, "fine, but only for a little while"

Red smiled, then the two red heads left the office, and walked up to the roof. They both just sat there and stared at the sky. The two of them have been good friends ever since they were little. They both also liked each other, but were too afraid of getting hurt to say anything to one an other.
