Shiki: And here is chapter four! Hope you guys love it! And don't complain if a certain red head on here is OOC, I know this but I like the nicer version of him! :P
"Tsunade we got him-…. GAARA!" Naruto said running into Tsunade's office. Gaara turned and faced Naruto, an almost smile on his face.
"Naruto." He said nodding. Tenshi walked in as well, her eyes zeroed in on Gaara.
"YOU! YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!" She growled bringing her hands together.
"Tsuki-Sama no!" Ame said grabbing Tenshi's wrists and pinning them behind her. Ame hated Gaara as much as Tenshi did, but she wasn't about to fail as Tenshi's bodyguard. Gaara looked at the two girls from the Village of Moon, recognition shown in his teal eyes as he walked over to them and stopped.
"I'm sorry…." He said bowing.
"YOU KILLED MY FAMILY AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS SORRY!" Tenshi's voice rose an octave and everyone winced at the high pitch.
"I'm really truly sorry; words cannot express how sorry I am." Gaara insisted in a soft voice. Tenshi managed to shove Ame off of her and charged at Gaara, needles between her fingers, she was about to throw them at Gaara when hands grab her and Ame snatched the needles.
"Calm down Tenshi…." Neji whispered in her ear. Tenshi tried to get away from Neji but she couldn't break his grip and finally gave up and settled for glaring at Gaara.
"Kakashi take Tenshi and Ame to our friends." Tsunade said. Kakashi nodded understanding. "Gai take Sasuke to Shizune, she's going to question him. Naruto, Lee, and Tenten you may go." Everyone nodded and left.
"Tsunade-Sama where is Kakashi taking Tenshi?" Neji asked.
"Tenshi and Ame have joined the ranks of Konoha and are being sent to work for ANBU, Neji you are joining their ranks as well but I needed you to hear the mission I'm sending you on." Tsunade explained.
"Alright what is it?" Neji asked curious.
"Akatsuki members have been spotted on the border of here and Sand, you will go with Gaara, Tenshi, and Ame to gather Intel. Alright?"
"Sounds easy enough…." Neji murmured.
"Good! In that case go and join Tenshi and Ame to get fitted for your ANBU gear…." Tsunade said. Neji nodded and left the room where Kakashi was waiting alone.
"Where's Tenshi?" Neji asked.
"Getting her tattoo." Kakashi simply stated. "Follow me Neji-Kun." Neji followed Kakashi to a building; they walked in and heard yelling.
"That's Tenshi…." Neji murmured worried. Kakashi nodded and led the Hyuuga up to a room where Tenshi was being restrained and the tattoo was being tattooed into her skin, Ame's arm was already tattooed and was helping restrain Tenshi.
"Oh Neji, come and help restrain her, she is scared of needles." Ame said. Neji chuckled quietly to himself and walked over to Tenshi.
"Calm down Tenshi…." He whispered in her ear seductively. Tenshi froze, her eyes were wide and a faint blush on her cheeks. She was in a shocked state long enough for them to finish the tattoo, but only that long, as soon as they pulled away Tenshi was up and on the other side of the room away from the needle.
"See that wasn't so bad!" Ame said smirking.
"Yes it was!" Tenshi whined.
"Girls, if you'll come with me we can finish getting you ready." Kakashi said leading them to another room.
Half an hour passed, Neji had been tattooed as well and all three of them had been given masks and extra black clothing (which they changed into) with a long coat and hood.
"Of course you won't need the coats seeing as its summer, but you must wear the masks when on a mission." Kakashi informed them, they nodded and looked at their masks, and all three looked like cats and had very miniscule differences.
"Are they supposed to all look the same?" Ame asked.
"Not usually, but in your three's case, they wanted to make them basically the same, I have no idea why so don't ask me." Kakashi said. "And Gaara is expecting you at the gate; you have to put the masks on the minute you leave the village."
"Alright…." Tenshi murmured. "Let's go already…." She said taking off to the gate, Ame and Neji right behind her. Gaara was leaning on the gate waiting patiently for them, he looked up when they came walking.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Mmhmm…." Tenshi murmured tying her hair into a ponytail and putting the mask on, Ame and Neji also put their masks on but left their hair down.
"Good, I can tell the three of you apart by your hair now." Gaara said smirking.
"Come on let's just get this over with…." Tenshi murmured. "Me and Neji will stay in back, Gaara and Ame you take the front…."
"And who made you commander!" Neji teased.
"Myself, I'm the leader of my Village!" Tenshi said, her voice oozing with pride. Gaara laughed a real laugh.
"And I'm the Kazekage and I'm leading you to where the Akatsuki were last seen, I think that makes me in charge!" Gaara smirked.
"But-."
"Tenshi just give up!" Neji said ruffling her hair.
"Don't do that!" Tenshi complained while taking her ponytail down so she could fix it. "Well let's go!" She said.
"Alright!" Neji said, the group took off, in the formation Tenshi had said to do. They reached the border just as the sun was setting, they decided to make camp for the night, again against Tenshi's will.
"Why can we keep going!" She asked.
"Because it's almost dark!" Neji explained.
"So? You can still see, and the moon is full tonight!" Tenshi continued.
"Tsuki-Sama obviously the boys are scared of the dark! Let's just make camp!" Ame said laughing.
"Ame your right I am scared of the dark, will you sleep by me!" Gaara asked smirking. Tenshi's eyes widened and her fingers twitched, the moon darkening a tiny bit. Neji, being the only one to catch the darkening of the sky looked at Tenshi, he walked over to her and looked deep into her eyes.
"Are you mad that someone is flirting with your bodyguard and not you?" Neji asked smirking. Tenshi glared up at Neji and shook her head quickly.
"No way!" She hissed. Neji stroked her cheek and leaned in close to her.
"But I think you are, if you want I'll flirt with you." Neji's smirk grew as he felt her face grow hot and he watched her blush a solid crimson. Tenshi shoved him away and looked at the ground.
"I'll go find some firewood…." She said quietly before leaping into the trees and taking off.
"Ill go too." Ame said.
"No, Neji can go. Will you stay and help me set up camp?" Gaara said smirking.
"Oh um…. I guess…." Ame sighed and watched Neji happily, almost too happily, after Tenshi. "So Gaara…." She faced the red haired boy and saw that he had already made camp. "Hey! I didn't even help!"
"Well that's because I wanted to talk with you some before those two lovebirds come back!" Gaara said sitting under a tree. Ame sighed and sat next to him and looked up at the sky, her eyes never leaving the moon. "You know….I love your eyes." Gaara said smiling at her.
"Thanks….But Tsuki-Sama's are prettier…." Ame murmured.
"But I like yours. They are the most beautiful color I have ever seen!" Gaara said moving so he sat in front of her, he put a hand on her cheek and smirked.
"They are white." Ame stated blushing a light pink. "They are bland and boring."
"No, not to me, they are filled with your emotions. For example, I know you are worried about Tenshi…." Gaara's smirk grew.
"How did you?"
"You are an open book Ame." He said leaning in, he was about to kiss her cheek when Tenshi landed on the ground behind him.
"Neji hurry up!" Tenshi called. Gaara moved quickly so he was sitting against the tree again. Tenshi turned and faced them, her eyes narrowed and she shook her head. "We found Deidara from the Akatsuki lurking around."
"How'd you catch him?" Gaara asked.
"Snuck up on him, he was sleeping!" Tenshi said smirking. Neji landed on the ground, Deidara followed, he was tied up.
"Was not, I was waiting for this beautiful young lady to come and take me to see another beautiful young lady!" Deidara said smirking, he kept looking between Tenshi and Ame. Tenshi smacked him and glared at him.
"Will you just shut up?" She hissed. "Neji you guys get some rest I'll stay on watch, I'll wake you if anything happens, promise!" Tenshi smiled at him and took the rope that Deidara was tied to.
"Alright….If you insist…." Neji walked over to a tree to sit beneath it. It looked like he planned to stay awake but he just fell asleep after a few minutes.
"Ame….go ahead and get some rest!" Tenshi smiled at her friend.
"Alright Tsuki-Sama!" Ame got up and moved so she was closer to Tenshi and feel asleep, Gaara stayed where he was and fell asleep as well.
"Now why did you want them al to go to sleep?" Deidara asked smirking.
"Because I'm a night person, I'm the one who would be the most alert right now. Besides didn't you see how quickly they all fell asleep? They were exhausted!" Tenshi explained tying Deidara to a tree before sitting next to him at a safe enough distance so he couldn't touch her, but close enough so she could stop him before he tried to do something.
"You know, Itachi has been keeping an eye on you. He really wants you to join the Akatsuki." Deidara informed her.
"Well don't care, since I'm never ever going to join." Tenshi spat.
"You say that now…." Deidara murmured.
"Its what I'm saying now and forever. I will never join that foul organization!" Tenshi hissed, the moon darkened slightly. Deidara sighed and shook his head; he shut his eyes and leaned his head back deciding on getting some rest.
After a few hours, Tenshi looked around and saw everyone sleeping soundly, eve their prisoner was fast asleep. She yawned and blinked a few times before leaning her head against the tree and drifting into a half awake and half asleep state. Only to be jolted into an awake state by an explosion and then her body flying backwards.
Neji awoke to the explosion, as did everyone else but he was the first one able to comprehend what had happened. Deidara had used his clay, made it explode and then he vanished. Neji activated his Byagukan and searched for Tenshi, when he found her, he raced to her.
"Tenshi!" He said kneeling beside her. Tenshi had several bleeding cuts and quickly forming bruises, she had her arms wrapped around her ribs and with the words coming from her mouth he assumed there had been some internal damage.
"Neji…." Tenshi croaked.
"What is it….?" Neji asked picking her up carefully and walking back to camp quickly.
"That damn bastard…." Tenshi shook her head.
"Tsuki-Sama!" Ame said trying to stand up.
"No! You need to stay sitting!" Gaara said keeping her in the sitting position. Ame had blood rolling from a wound on her head, and her ankle was swollen.
"NO! I need to make sure Tsuki-Sama is alright!" Ame pushed Gaara away.
"Please!" Gaara said grabbing her gently. "For me? Neji will bring Tenshi over to you, we don't know the extent of your injuries…." Gaara said softly, concern was clearly visible in his eyes. Neji sighed and shook his head, he carried Tenshi over to Ame, setting her down gently. Once on the ground, Ame was healing Tenshi's wounds, she checked Tenshi's ribs and found a few with hairline cracks, others only being bruised.
"Ame, what about you?" Tenshi asked looking at the blood on her friends face.
"Oh this? Don't worry it's just a cut….I'll heal it." Ame said healing the cut and then her ankle. Tenshi sighed and stood up looking around for any sign of what direction Deidara had gone.
"Well….that sure is a fail as a mission…." She shook her head.
"Well, as long as no one was killed Tsunade wont mind." Gaara said.
"But I usually never fail when I go on a mission!" Tenshi objected.
"You failed to kill me." Gaara said smirking.
"Don't tempt me…." Tenshi murmured.
"Tenshi you wouldn't do that…." Neji said coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist. "It wouldn't be nice, plus Tsunade would hunt you down, as would the Village of Sand members!" He whispered. Tenshi pushed him away blushing madly at the close contact. Ame and Gaara smirked at them, instantly seeing what the two felt for the other in their eyes.
"Well….no use hanging out around here. Let's head home!" Ame said.
"But it's the middle of the night!" Gaara said.
"So? I want to get back to Konoha!" Tenshi said. The four of them took off back to the village, reported to Tsunade and went to where they were staying for the night.
