This is the seventh chapter of Getting Freedom. I would love to get freedom so let me know what you think of the plot and the writing style with a review. Note I did a bunch of research specifically on Gaara's age at this time and got a lot of different answers so I made him 17 because… I can? If anyone actually knows his age I would love to know it.
Warning: This chapter contains a sexual situation in other words my first lemon. I'm sorry if it really sucks

"Ugh how long do we have to wait at this freaking gate?" Yukiko complained. "It's so fuckin' hot out."
"Watch you language," Genma scolded with his Senbon in his mouth. "This is very important to the alliance between Suna and Konoha you should act like it's an honor to be here."
"I use ice jutsu anywhere that is hotter than Konoha is just a pain in my…"
"Genma just warned you about language," Maikaia interjected. "I know you get a bit crabby when you're hot but please try and stay classy."
Kiba sat there as team Genma once again bickered between themselves. He had never seen them fight together but he thought it couldn't be all that great considering their corporation skills.
"On behalf of the Kazekage of Suna I would like to welcome you to our fair city. My name is Ruriko if you have any questions just ask me," Ruri said behind her perfect disguise. She had caused her dark brown curly hair to become light brown and completely flat. She made it so her skin was slightly tanned instead of golden brown. She wore a traditional ninja black tank top with netting under it and grey shorts that went halfway down her thighs. Ruri had taken her most give away feature, her emerald eyes, and turned it into an average brown color. No one even gave her identity a thought.
"Please," she said with a kind smile, "follow me to the Kazekage's office.
They turned to follow her in a line with Yukiko in the back muttering aimlessly about something no one could understand. As soon as she stepped where Ruriko had been she felt it. That very familiar chakra signal that could only belong to Ruri. She decided to keep her mouth shut if Ruri wanted her to know who she was she wouldn't use a disguise.
OO00OO
"Gaara-Sama," Ruri's voice said from the other side of his office door, "I have brought the visitors from Konoha." He thought the formality was weird plus her behavior was surprisingly calm since she just had a reunion with her most precious people.
"Come in," Gaara said eyes narrowing at the door.
The visitors from Konoha filed in. He recognized Genma as Jounin his reputation extends as one of the best. He recognized Kiba from before however he had a new found view of him thanks to Ruri's story. He knew the one with ice blue eyes was Yukiko and the one with fiery amber eyes was Maikaia again thanks to Ruri.
However what surprised him was who walked in after them. She was average height unlike Ruri who was short. She had brown hair, brown eyes, slightly tanned skin, everything was average. He didn't realize it was Ruri until the girl winked at him. He openly sighed making the others in the room question his behavior.
"I am happy that all of you have made it here safely," Gaara said unemotionally. "Please prepare yourself for the formal dinner that will be held in the ballroom of this building tonight at six. There will be a short ceremony for the passing of your various techniques. I hope the three of you participating know that they are to be nonviolent jutsus."
"Gaara-Sama you seem worried," Ruri said. "I hate to ask you but maybe you could tell the Kazekage what you will be demonstrating to set his stressful mind at ease." She smiled afterwards. Kiba noticed that she seemed to be smiling directly at him, Gaara noticed it too.
"Well since it's nonviolent and I'm a medical ninja I figured that I would show you guys a technique that uses a little ice to sterilize and protect wounds from infection," Yukiko said. "It also prevents and heals scars."
"I will be providing a way to track things," Kiba said blandly watching Gaara's secretary out of the corner of his eye. Something about that smile seemed familiar.
"Since Suna has had to import a lot of crops I figured I would demonstrate a way of burn farming in order to create more fertile land for Suna. However I'm not sure how to demonstrate it inside yet…" Maikaia trailed off at the end.
"That sounds good," Gaara said. "You can take them to the hotel they will be staying at." Gaara watched as Ruri was torn away from ogling at Kiba.
"Yes Gaara-Sama," Ruri said. He noticed how quickly she regained her secretary attitude and grunted at it. She bowed before exiting with them.
So even though she cried because of Kiba she was willing to stare so happily at him. It bugged him extremely for some reason. Not only that, but Ruri had been surprisingly cold to him today. She even had mentioned leaving she had never directly mentioned it before. This could only mean that she was thinking. Gaara isn't sure if that is a good thing.
OO00OO
Gaara was watching Ruri frantically get ready for the ceremony. He thought it was rather funny how much she fussed over the little things on her kimono. Temari had certainly chosen a kimono that did her justice, although he could tell that it was too long for her. The fabric itself was a light pink and had white and dark pink lilies. The dark pink obi brought out the shapely figure that Gaara knew she had.
"Gaara you're drooling," Ruri teased still looking in the mirror as he sat on his bed. "For a ninja you're really obvious. Besides it's not like you will be seeing me in this for long." Gaara's eye twitched at the suggestive comment.
"You will not be stripping at the party I hope," Gaara said. He watched her to see if she was going to lie and then actually do it. He now knows that Ruri will act on her threats she keeps all of her promises, all of them.
"No but I need to transform soon," Ruri replied before sighing. "That was quite the perverted thought you had there Gaara. If you want me to take off my clothes all you have to do is ask Gaara-Sama."
"That won't be happening any time soon," Gaara said. "Most people only ask attractive people to take off their clothes."
Ruri flipped him off before slowly transforming into her other form, Ruriko. The name was so painfully obvious to Gaara but her team and Kiba most likely didn't suspect a thing.
"Do you think your team knows who you are?" Gaara asked after letting his mind ponder over the subject.
"Only Yukiko knows," Ruri replied. She knew his silence meant that she should elaborate. "Her blood limit lets her sense what chakras have been in a specific spot. If she wanted to she could track signals up to about 100 years old. It's quite amazing. Maikaia is unburnable; in fact it's suspected that flame actually heals the members of her family. Then you know of Kiba's family's extreme sense of smell that makes them useful for tracking."
"I see," Gaara muttered. "You seem to know a lot about their abilities. Then again you were on a team with them for years."
"Of course I would know them. I've known Maikaia since she was five. I met her in the hospital the first time I burned myself baking."
"Baking?" Gaara mocked.
"I didn't come from a ninja family." Ruri sighed. "My family owned a bakery in Konoha. If you must know why I don't wear traditional ninja shoes it's because my mom refused to buy them. However I convinced her boots were needed for caring in baking supplies."
Gaara found it interesting she had shared this with him. Ruri hadn't mentioned her family once however she had gotten his whole life story out of him. The girl was very clever. Ruri/Ruriko was now pinning her hair up in a very traditional style.
"That body doesn't suit you at all," Gaara replied.
"That's kinda the point," Ruri said. "It's weird wearing a kimono like this." Gaara thought she was referring to the length of it but he was wrong. Ruri was thinking about the parties she had attended with Kiyoshi where she wore heavy ball gowns and skin tight cocktail dresses. It was defiantly a foreign feeling wearing a kimono.
"Shall we leave Gaara-Sama," Ruri teased. "It would be so unfortunate if the Kazekage was to show up late."
"As far as I'm concerned we aren't staying longer than necessary. I will give the opening speech the closing speech and we will leave. I hate parties."
"Not true. You Gaara are a people hater." He scoffed at Ruri's comment before they both left for the party.
OO00OO
The ballroom was very beautiful and filled with many high ranking officials and a few ninja. The ground was made of white marbles and the walls were painted a pale yellow that gave off a regal feeling. The people dressed in formal kimonos were just as regal looking and acting. Ruri was no stranger to small talk but avoided people anyway. The good thing about her form was she didn't have men constantly pestering her anymore.
Ruri had only talked once or twice to someone and both times were Gaara's siblings. She remembered the way that Temari made fun of Gaara in his traditional Kazekage robes. Even though Gaara was seventeen and older than Ruri the size of the robes made him look like a child. Ruri let an amused smile grace her face while thinking about it.
Gaara watched Ruri from across the room. She was acting like the biggest wall flower he had ever seen. All that she did so far was talk to his siblings, drink some type of punch, and stare at her ex-boyfriend. It was annoying him to no end. Knowing his Ruri he thought she would've made friends by now. She is not my Ruri. Dear god I knew I shouldn't of had that one traditional drink Gaara thought.
Gaara wasn't the only one who had noticed Ruri's staring. Kiba had been aware of how openly Gaara's secretary was staring at him. In all honesty he wondered how she could be a ninja and yet be so obvious about it. He was happily in love with Ino so he wouldn't cheat on her. He could at least give the poor girl one dance. She was practically a shut in.
Kiba made his way over to Ruriko unaware of the eyes that were following him. One pair belonged to Yukiko. She was standing by Maikaia in a beautiful pale blue kimono with a dazzling snow flake pattern and dark blue obi. She gritted her teeth in anger as she silently watched. Ruri wouldn't want to have her identity revealed so it wasn't like she could stop him.
The second pair belonged to Gaara. His conversation with the officials he was talking to had come to an abrupt stop. They sensed his immediate change in mood and made up an excuse to walk away from him. He was unaware of the pure anger that leaked through his emotionless façade. Kankuro had to walk up and tell him to relax before he turned away from the situation.
"Excuse me but would you like to dance?" Kiba asked when he finally got to Ruriko. She looked at him surprised. Kiba had noticed she had turned herself away from him when he started walking over to her.
"I would love to," Ruriko said. Kiba was a bit surprised at how cute and bright her smile was. He extended a hand to her which she gladly accepted.
When the music began to play they started dancing. He was surprised at how good she was. It was almost like she could predict exactly how he would move her. Somehow he didn't really mind. He even started up a bit of small talk.
"Gaara stop glaring. You look like you're going to bite someone's head off," Kankuro commented. Gaara was still watching Ruriko intensely. "If you have issues with them dancing you can just start the demonstrations early and tell the band to stop playing."
"I can do that?" Gaara asked a little too quickly. Kankuro nodded his head and watched as Gaara silently went to talk to the band. Kankuro sighed Gaara was losing it.
Kiba and Ruri stilled on the dance floor when the music came to an abrupt stop. Yukiko had witnessed the Kazekage yell at the band to stop their playing. She now had a new found respect for the red haired man.
Gaara announced that the demonstrations would start. As soon as he stepped off the stage he was joined by his siblings and Ruri. They all watched intently as Kiba explained the tracking technique that could be used with any type of animal, it would actually be useful. Yukiko had found an audience member with a scar and healed it after reopening it. Maikaia's was the most entertaining. She practically danced with fire showing off her technique.
Gaara went up on stage with Ruri as was traditional for his concluding speech. It was so obvious that he was in a bad mood. It practically oozed out of him. Ruri was only half listening to this "peace for all nonsense" that everyone knew was all political bullshit. Until she felt an almost unnoticeable shift in air current.
Gaara was about to start his concluding statement when Ruri leaped in front of him pushing him away from the podium he was standing at.
"Sorry," she apologized. "I couldn't block it properly." As she removed her hand from her side a kunai was sunk into her side. Gaara could only stare while blood started to stain the kimono Temari had given her. Gasps and screams from the crowd were heard as the guests struggled to escape out.
However they found it useless when they got to the doors to find they were locked. Ninjas dressed in all black with dark masquerade masks propelled themselves from the ceiling.
"Ruri are you ok?" Gaara asked running to her side. He couldn't believe how he hadn't sensed it coming at him. He was beginning to slightly panic.
"I'm fine," Ruri said. She ripped the Kunai from her side while letting out a hiss of air in pain. "We're dealing with a small group of rogue ninja that originated after the new Hokage came into power. I recognized the poison they used." Ruri looked at Gaara as his eyes widened and he felt his heart drop. She could be seriously hurt and it would be his fault.
"Don't worry I'm immune to most poisons I doubt this one is an exception. Well Gaara how about a little dance. I do love keeping the peace and some of the ninja are already fighting."
Gaara looked around to see that she was right. Some of the ninja in the room had already engaged in fights. Yukiko was shielding normal civilians with a strong ice barrier while Maikaia and Kiba had surprisingly joined forces to take down some enemies trying to break through the barrier. Kankuro and Temari were in an all out brawl with the one he assumed had launched the kunai at him. Genma was lazily attacking a few ninjas that dared to approach him.
Ruri ran the kunai up the leg of the kimono making it much easier to move in. Gaara watched the girl place her hand over the wound and heal it.
"I didn't know you could do that," he said. She smiled at him. "Well let's go just don't get yourself killed."
"Trust me. I have got to be one of the hardest people to kill," Ruri replied.
"You can't say that when I've already come back from the dead," Gaara stated before jumping into the chaos.
His sand had already started making the attackers unconscious. He was mad that this was interrupted. He was especially mad that someone had launched a kunai at Ruri. No way would they be able to escape his wrath.
Out of curiosity he glanced behind him to see Ruri taking out people with the kunai that had been thrown at him. Her movements weren't like most ninja's that reacted instantly to whatever their opponent did creating a jerky motion. Her movements were more fluid like a dance. It was as if she knew exactly how they were going to attack her. However they failed to notice how she would attack.
Ruri had to admit she was slightly disappointed. The last time she had dealt with this group was when she was a rose ninja. Her task had been to eliminate the leader. Which she would admit was difficult, but she had done it none the less. Now the members of this group went down with one hit, two at the most.
It had taken maybe ten minutes for the fighting to end. The group had greatly underestimated their opponents which had proven to be a fatal mistake.
"That was surprisingly easy," Ruri said standing next to Gaara. The ballroom was emptying. Soon only ninjas belonging to Suna would be left.
"You say easy but you took a kunai in the side," Gaara said.
"That would've been your liver," Ruri muttered. They helped clean up the ballroom and escort the attackers out of the room. There had been forty attackers and only thirteen ninja. Somehow they had been subdued so easily, but no one was going to complain.
OO00OO
The second Ruri walked through the door and turned back into herself she was caged in by Gaara's arms. She looked at him with surprised emerald eyes. Ruri knew there was a height difference but this was the first time she could say it stood out. At least eight inches she concluded.
Gaara let out a sigh before resting his head on her shoulder. Ruri looked at him surprised.
"Do you know how worried you made me," Gaara said into her shoulder. "When you said poison my heart dropped."
"Gaara…"
"No let me finish. You are the absolute most unpredictable person I have met. I want to yell at you, kick you out of my house, kill you, and kiss you all at the same time."
As soon as Ruri hear the word kiss she felt a familiar thumping in her chest. It was the beating of nervousness, anticipation and love.
Before she could think about it anymore Gaara kissed her. It was chaste and his jade eyes were looking at her shocked emerald ones waiting for a response. They fluttered shut as she tip toed and brought her hands to the back of his neck she bringing him in for a kiss.
Gaara was slightly surprised but began to kiss back. He was nearly shocked when Ruri ran her tongue along his bottom lip asking for entrance. He was surprised that she took the initiative but he opened his mouth for her all the same. He was surprised once again as her tongue darted into his mouth to caress his own. It felt good but he had no intention of giving her control.
He wrestled with her tongue before forcing his way into her mouth. Ruri moaned into his mouth. He began to press their bodies more fully together. Gaara knew where this was going and it was going there fast. Ruri pulled away from him, taking a much needed breath.
"Gaara," Ruri panted out. He had to restrain himself from ravishing her right there. "I want you to know that you could wake up tomorrow and I could be gone in the morning. I could leave at anytime and never see you again. Knowing that what do you want to do?"
He ground his hips into her and Ruri took in a sharp breath. A familar heat was pooling in her stomach.
"I think what I want to do is very obvious," he whispered seductively into her ear.
With that they began to kiss with renewed passion. Gaara hooked one of her legs around his waist and ground into her again. He grabbed her other leg and Ruri wrapped it tightly around him. He lifted her with ease taking her to the bedroom.
No way he was going to make this quick. Ruri had constantly made it her goal to tease him. Now it was time to return the favor. He laid her down gently on the bed watching as her eyes fluttered open. He loved the look on her face; it showed how much she wanted him.
He gave her a chaste kiss before moving down to her neck and planting butter fly kisses on it. Without warning he bit down on her pulse causing her to gasp. His hands made quick work of her kimono leaving her in chest bindings and a thong.
She tugged at his Kazekage robes but he ignored the action. Only to be surprised by her cutting the fabric and Ruri ripping his garments off. He was now left in only maroon boxers.
"You realize that ruining this outfit is considered a crime," Gaara said looking down at Ruri slightly annoyed.
"You realize that if you would've taken it off this wouldn't have happened," Ruri replied playfully. She ran a hand over his chiseled chest.
"Where did you get that?"
"I put it under your pillow just in case. I'm very adventurous you know?"
Gaara silenced her with a heated kiss to her mouth and took the kunai away. He slit her chest bindings allowing him access to her breasts before throwing the kunai away. He had to admit he was pleasantly surprised as he gazed over her Ruri looked nothing like a child. He took one of the mounds into his hand and gently massaged it until the nipple pebbled. He was pleased with the quiet moan he received and did the same thing to the other.
Gazing up at her he took a nipple into his mouth while gently tweaking the other. Ruri bit her lip and threw her head back to prevent herself from moaning. Gaara didn't like that. He wanted her releasing every single sound out of her mouth. He switched to her other breast giving it the same treatment except a little rougher than before. Content with the quiet moan she let out.
He licked his way down her body finding it perfectly unscarred. His hand ghosted over where her wound should be but wasn't. He looked at the underwear and smirked before removing it with his teeth. He was about to taste her.
"No!" Ruri said. Grabbing his blood red locks. He gave her a questioning look. "It's embarrassing…" Ruri whispered.
He gave a low chuckle before sliding up her body and kissing her again. Without warning he plunged a finger into her finding that she was already wet and unbelievably tight. Ruri had begun to hold back her moans again as he pushed his fingers into her at a steady rhythm.
"If you hold back so do I," Gaara said his voice huskier than before. He began to slow his pace. Instantly Ruri was moaning out loud.
"Ahh…" she said softly against his ear causing him to shudder. He added another finger and quickened his pace soon she would reach that high. Ruri loved everything that Gaara was doing to her. Especially when he would slightly bend his fingers in her it was driving her insane with pleasure. Gaara began to quicken his pace as her moans became more frequent. Soon he felt her getting tighter.
"Gaara!" she moaned out as she came. The way she said his name had snapped something inside of him as he became painfully aware of his arousal. He needed to be inside her now.
He removed his boxers with a little help from Ruri. He looked at her asking for permission. Ruri could see the lust in his eyes and she was in no position to deny him. She nodded her head.
Gaara rubbed himself in her folds coating his member with her sweet juices before entering her in one swift movement. She let out a loud moan while he groaned in response. Gaara rolled his hips into her getting a moan in response. With that he began to thrust slowly in and out of her.
"Gaara…fa…faster," Ruri panted. Gaara continued his slow pace while watching her face become contorted in pleasure. Ruri began to buck her hips urging him to go faster but all he did was continue his pace and smirk down at her.
Suddenly Gaara was on his back with Ruri on top of him. She glared down at him before beginning to ride him. Her pace was slow at first but then she began to go faster impaling herself to the hilt. She started to bounce up and down harder Gaara could see her breasts moving freely in the air as she moaned over him. Pretty soon he found himself moaning under her. However Gaara would not let her get away with this.
He flipped them over to pound into her fast and hard. Ruri moaned out loud and told him exactly what she was feeling; and that was amazing.
"Gaara I'm gonna…" Ruri moaned in between his thrusting.
"It's okay let go," he told her in a very husky voice.
"Gaa…rah!" she screamed out as she came violently. Her back arcing off the bed as he continued to jack hammer into her. He soon followed her pulling out of her to spew his seed on her stomach. He collapsed beside her taking her into his arms.
"You were surprisingly good," Ruri said into his chest. She listened for to his heart beat that was steadily slowing down.
"And you were surprisingly loud," he retorted. "My neighbors defiantly heard us." Ruri giggled a little at his comment.
"Goodnight," she said closing her eyes. She began to drift to sleep ignoring the words she didn't want to hear from Gaara.

Sorry this chapter turned out a little longer than expected so I won't get the preview from the last chapter in. I promise it will be in the next one. Please let me know how sucky my lemon is so I can change it if it's really bad. All reviews and suggestions are welcome.
