Hello all! I decided to try a Naruto fic… My Sesshy one is on Hiatus for now…. Yeah. I do not Own ANYTHING, except for Kaze, Mizu, Yuki, Yurasu, Raikou, and Kasai.
A Special Thank You to: IEatChicken and Lindsay-chan for reviewing! This one is dedicated to you!
ENJOY!!!
Also, due to the fact I am trying to make these as long as possible, expect some delays in the future (I had already written these two, so these ones don't count)
Chapter 2
"This would look good on you" Temari said holding up a pink dress with slits on the sides
"No, pink is… um… disgusting" We laughed together. I picked up some fishnet and a grey dress with slits up the sides and grabbed black shorts, I held up the outfit for Temari to see. "What do you think of this?"
"No, to girly for someone of your caliber" I smirked at her answer and searched through the endless amounts of clothes before I squealed. I found a blue top that stopped below my breasts and a small jacket type thing that was a shade darker and a tad longer than the top, a pair of black pants and two black ribbons. I held it up to Temari.
"Add bandages and I got a good outfit, ne?" I said smiling. We found more outfits before heading towards the weapon shop. However, we never made it to the weapon shop as a ninja appeared in front of us, scaring the hell out of me in the process, to tell Temari that foreign ninja were attacking the Kazekage and that none of the regular ninja could get through the door due to the ninja guarding it. We ran to the place the ninja told us to go to see a ninja at the door knocking people unconscious. Apparently Temari got the same idea as I had and I calmly walked up to the ninja and tapped his pressure point on his chest; I walked on him over the threshold of the building and ran up the stairs to see Kankuro and Gaara trying to keep the upper hand of the battle, and failing miserably.
"Temari, is there any way of getting me over to Kankuro and Gaara?" I asked. I wish I didn't. One minute I was standing on the ground, the next Temari whipped out her fan and I was flying, and screaming, in the air and flew straight into the wall next to Kankuro and Gaara. "Ow, stupid Temari, stupid fan, stupid me for asking a stupid question to a stupid Temari with a stupid fan." I muttered as I stood up, rubbing my nose.
"You all right?" Gaara asked as he flung someone across the building, much like what happened to me, with sand.
"Fine," I said and got into my Dim Mak stance and started applying chi into random enemies in a quick fashion that made Kankuro's jaw slack. I continued doing this until there were no enemies left conscious. I sighed. "And here I was hoping for more of a fight." I said as the four of us started to tie people up, well three of us, Kankuro had went off to find more people to help. Soon we were dragging people to the nearest prison and I was applying pressure points to their back to bring them back to consciousness. Needless to say t wasn't that much of a surprise when I was too exhausted to walk, but it was a surprise, not only to me thank God, when Gaara picked me up, bridal style might I add, and brought me, and led his siblings (as I found out through a random conversation) to his, I mean their, house. I fell asleep in his arms once he pointed his house out, and woke up slightly when he placed me gently down on a bed.
"Go back to sleep" He whispered as he placed blankets over me. I yawned and nodded.
Hours Later
I woke up and went down the stairs and searched the house to find out that it was in the middle of the night apparently. I walked back upstairs to try to go back to sleep when a figure jumped through the window of my room, I was about to scream when the person put their hand over my mouth and said
"Do not scream" I instantly recognized the voice as Gaara's and nodded, calming down immediately. He dropped his hand as I sat down on the bed nearby.
"Why are you not asleep?" I asked
"Not tired"
"Why?"
"Because I haven't slept in years and have not gotten used to it yet"
"Why haven't you slept in years?"
"Because I used to have a demon inside of me that would eat away at my personality if I slept"
"Oh"
"Why are you not asleep?"
"Just woke up, I was going to go back to sleep though"
"Oh" an awkward silence fell down upon us.
"So… Uh, I going to bed"
"So will I" He said smirking. I shrugged it off and went under the covers as Gaara shut off the light. I closed my eyes but opened them once again when I felt the covers being lifted.
"W-what are you doing"
"Going to sleep" He answered, laying down next to me
"Why are you in my room then?"
"I could ask you the same thing"
"So, this is your room… where is the guest room?"
"There is none"
"Oh" 'c.rap' I thought.
Awhile later…
"Are you afraid of me?" Gaara asked as he turned on his side to see my reaction
"No" I answered
"Not even if I did this?" He said as he pulled me into a hug.
"No" I answered again, relaxing as I felt his breath on my neck and his calm heartbeat.
"Then we will stay this way throughout the night" I could literally feel his smirk. I wanted to kick him. I then came up with a brilliant plan.
"I don't think so…" I said as I pushed him on his back and laid my head on his chest, snuggling closer. "I like this position better" I said smirking as I looked up to see a light blush across his cheeks and a shocked expression on his face. I laughed to myself as I drifted to sleep.
Dreamland
I was in a wet sewer type thing with water up to my ankles.
"Hello…" I said meekly, not knowing how I got here "Is anyone there?" No one answered, as I expected. I mean, who would be in a sewer? I decided to move around to see if I could find a way out taking random turns here and there, but stopped when I heard a noise. And it sounded like… breathing. I tried not to panic as I took deep breaths and calmly asked "Is anyone there?" No answer. I took a deep breath and rounded the corner where the noise, the breathing was coming from and kept going until another turn came, and the only way to go forward. The breathing noise was loudest here. I took a deep breath and braced myself. "Hello?" I asked.
"About time you came, Kaze dear" A deep voice said from around the corner. "No need to be afraid, you have seen me before, child" I let out a breath that I had been holding and rounded the corner to see a huge silver fox with four tails in what looked like a prison, the only thing between it and me were bars (I did say prison), and a little piece of paper that read 'seal' on the bars.
"Who are you" I asked meekly.
"My name is Angin"
"Ah" I said "Why am I here and where is 'here'?"
"You are in yourself, I guess you would say, and I called you here so we could have a little chat, my dear sweet Kaze-chan"
"Okay, what did you want to talk about?" I asked
"First, let's talk about this seal…"
That Morning
I woke up and found I was still in Gaara's arms. I relished in the fact that he was a comfortable pillow and that he had such an innocent face when he had that small smile on. I snuggled up closer realizing I woke up the same time that I usually do and gasped as the little act caused the Kazekage to pull me closer to him. I smiled to myself and fell back asleep.
I woke up to smoke next.
"What the hell?!" I said as I jumped out of bed and pulled Gaara with me as we ran down the stairs to see where the fire was. Imagine my surprise when Temari was using her huge fan to get the smoke out the window and the smoke was coming from a pan. I sighed and started to walk up the stairs again, pulling Gaara along too.
"Where do you think you two are going?" Temari asked when she noticed us.
"Um, back to bed?" I asked
"I made food and you are going to eat it." She said as she went past us to get Kankuro.
Minutes later Gaara, Kankuro and I were staring at a black… thing.
"Well, eat." Temari said, she had nothing on her plate.
"What is it?" I asked, poking it with my chopsticks
"Eggs" she said
"Doesn't look like an egg" I muttered
"What was that?"
"Doesn't look like an egg"
"Are you saying you're a better cook?"
"Yes, I definitely am" I said as I got up and put the 'egg' in the trash before grabbing an apron and going into the kitchen to make a real breakfast.
Around 20 minutes later Gaara and Kankuro were eating a Japanese omelet (Egg and Nori rolled up, kind of like sushi), rice, and a raw egg to go with the rice (the Japanese do this). Kankuro and Gaara kept thanking me for giving them real food and Temari kept glaring at me. I smiled and ate my breakfast happily, after all I didn't have to eat Temari's black thing she called an egg.
As a result, Gaara and Kankuro took me out to go weapon shopping since I wasn't able to do so the day before due to exhaustion.
"Ooh! Look at the fans!" I said looking through the glass counter
"Those are made out the strongest metal in the known universe." The clerk said proudly. I asked him if I could see one and I opened and closed it before running my finger over the edge, satisfied with the small streak of blood coming from my finger.
"Do you have a block of wood I could try the fan out on?" I asked, He gave me a chunk of wood and I tapped it on the counter and calculated the weight. 'Around ten pounds, no dents when tapped on by other objects, a very hard and dense would indeed' I thought as I threw it up in the air before opening the fan up and slashing across the wood. I was satisfied to see the block of wood clearly cut into two pieces and even more satisfied when I picked up one of the halves to see a nice clean cut throughout. "I'll take two" I said placing the fan on the counter and looking at the other weapons. I came out with two Katanas attached to my hip by a sash I was already wearing, two holsters filled with 40 shuriken and 40 kunai attached to my backside (think Kakashi), and my two fans hidden away in my arm warmers, I even made it spring-loaded so when I clenched my fist in a certain way my fans would pop out.
"Do you know any Genjutsu or Ninjutsu?" Kankuro asked
"What is that?" I asked confused
"I guess I'll take that as a no" Kankuro said as the three of us walked into a restaurant for lunch.
One Month Later
I have been training diligently in Genjutsu and Ninjutsu, apparently any martial arts goes under the category of Taijutsu.
We are now on our way to Konohagakure, otherwise known as Konoha so I can compete for the 'Chuunin Exams' which supposedly the next level for a ninja. Temari and Kankuro said I should be a Jounin just by my Taijutsu alone, but Gaara said I should practice in Genjutsu and Ninjutsu before I do anything else. I agree.
Once in Konoha I got Gaara to give me a tour, which led me to a ramen shop called the Ichiraku Ramen Bar.
'Ramen, oh man! Something that sounds familiar!' I thought as I got Gaara to buy me lunch there. Later he wished he didn't. I had a ramen eating contest with a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, which took a big chunk out of Gaara's wallet.
Afterwards we went to the hotel we were staying in and I took a short nap before waking up and finding it was dark outside.
'I wonder what Gaara is doing.' I thought as I opened my window to see if he was on the roof like he usually was. I guess I know him too well.
"Hey Kazekage mind if I join you?" I asked and he nodded. I laid myself down and looked at the stars, sighing contentedly. "Do you think I will do well in the exams?" I asked
"I don't think, I know you will do well. In Taijutsu alone you could beat all of the other Genin." He said. I smirked. Gaara and I had grown quite close the past month. He grew quite possessive of me, I didn't mind. It showed he cared, which from the information I got from his siblings and other people around Suna, was a miracle in itself.
The Next Day
I had met with the Hokage, nice lady; I was shocked when I heard she was 50! Afterwards, I took to walking in the streets by myself and got lost in my thoughts of home when I bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry, I didn't meant to-" I cut myself off when I looked up at the one had bumped into….
