Chapter 5
Okay, I got it going now. I needed some time to get things all settled with my muse and tell her to please help me. She can be a real bitch at times but anyway…I got this new chapter for you guys and girls so I hope you like it. This is showing Gaara in a new light and I hope you find it as enlightening as I did.
Gaara POV
I never thought Naruto would look so good in black. I must remember to get him into some leather another time because this is just too good to give up. Naruto tells me that the theme for the costume party is animal's which works for me (I won't have to hide my tail and ears) and he's going as a sexy fox spirit. He's in just black pants (no shirt) and orange Converse's with 9 big bushy fake tails and a pair of big fox ears on his head. I giggle at the irony when I first see it but I think he looks damn good. He thinks I'm laughing at him but I just wave it off.
"I'm sorry I don't naturally have 9 tails and big ears like someone but I do what I can." And he sticks his tongue out at me. I'm going to do some things with that tongue very soon but right now we have places to be.
"I'm a cat, I can only have 2 tails at the max." and I walk over to him and hug him close, burying my head in the crook of his neck. He hugs me back just as warmly and pets my head.
"You can have 2 tails?" he asks and I don't even have to look to see the confused look on his face now. He's so cute.
"I was lucky and born with just one. My brother has 2 though."
"Wait, you have a brother?" and he pulls back to look at me.
"And a sister." I miss his warmth so I pull him back into the hug. He doesn't fight it but I guess it's because he's kinda stumped. "I do have a family. I didn't just pop into existence because some Magi farted on a cat." I know this stumps him because he goes kinda limp in my arms. Well this is no fun. I pull back and look and his WTF face. He really is too cute sometimes.
"Do you want to meet them?" I ask. I don't really care and sooner or later they're gonna wonder why I don't come home anymore.
"How? Aren't they in Suna or something? That's pretty far if I remember right and I don't want to bother them." He does seem to care about not bothering people too much. I know he must have been pissed at me before but he didn't go ballistic when his friends where here. He's such a nice and sweet person.
"I didn't live in Suna, I just, 'worked' there in a manner of speaking. We live in a different world and with the right summons you can get them here to see you." I tell him. I don't get how he can adapt so well to all of this new stuff. I talk about magic and different worlds and he just nods like I'm talking about the weather.
"Are you sure they won't mind? I really do want to see your family and see if they're anything like you." I hear him say something under his breath that sounds like "doubt it" but I let it go.
"They won't mind. I need to introduce you sooner or later since you are soon to be mine." I smile wickedly at him with this and he turns beet red. Teasing him is too fun and easy. No wonder all his friends do it. The reactions he makes are just priceless.
"I'm the guy damnit! I will not be the uke forever!" he yells. We'll see about that. I just give him a quick peck on the lips and ignore him.
"So, are you ready?" I get ready for the Family to come. This is gonna be hard but nothing I didn't know from the start.
"Yeah, what do I do?" he's quick to submit it seems, doesn't it? I go and get a marker from his bag and draw the circle on the wall. He protests something about vandalism but I just ignore him again. The seal will leave once they leave so it's pointless to get mad about. I finish drawing it and step back some.
"Now, Naruto. I want you to put your hand up to the seal and say 'Open the gate to the world of beast and those lost. I call to me the Familiar's Terami, Kankuro and Chio. Come to me and lend me your assistance'."
"Okay?" He looks confused again.
"What?" I ask.
"Why can't you just call them here? Why does it have to be me?" I guess this is a valid question. It is his first time.
"I'm just a familiar so I can only use my magic on myself and things around me. I can't summon another familiar to me. Only a Magi can do something like that." It looks like he gets it. He takes a deep breath and squares himself. He raises his hand and focuses.
"'Open the gate to the world of beast and those lost. I call to me the Familiar's Terami, Kankuro and Chio. Come to me and lend me your assistance, Datteboyo!" …Kami, he's an idiot, adding that weird saying at the end…
Naruto POV
I can feel this icy chill go through my hands and out into the wall. The circle gets bigger and starts turning while glowing purple. Holy hell, this is weird. I still don't get this Magi stuff but I can just tell something is coming out of the circle and it wasn't normal people.
The circle looks just like a hole now and I see something coming through; its three people with cat ears and tails. I guess it's his family. Weird. The (portal?) is closing up now and I feel a little tired.
"Good job on your first official summons Naruto-kun. You didn't faint like most would." Gaara tells me.
"Like I would ever faint." I grin back. I feel kinda proud of myself. I just summoned 3 familiars with little help.
"Who the hell are you?" the guy ask. I guess he's asking me.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, newly made Magi, Datteboyo." Now I know I feel proud of myself. I may have just learned what I am but that doesn't mean I can't present myself correctly yet. I think I need to get used to it now anyway.
"So why the hell have you summoned us?" he ask without giving me his name. He doesn't seem to like me much. I just point over to Gaara and hope that helps. They all look over at him and gape at him.
"Gaara, where have you been!? We've been worried sick!" the blonde girl runs over to him and hugs him so tight he doesn't seem to be breathing. Kinda defeats the purpose of asking if he can't answer. He starts to struggle and he gets out of her death grip. I've never seen him this flustered, it's kinda…I don't know…cute.
"Gaara-chan, what are you doing here all by yourself when you don't have any reason to?" the old lady starts talking now. I really wish they would realize I'm here too…
"If you people give me a chance to talk I could explain. I had my new master summon you here so I can tell you I'm staying in the human world." Gaara seems to have just dropped a bomb on them because you would cut the tension in the air with a knife. Then they explode.
I couldn't understand a word they say because everyone is talking so fast and at once but it sounds mostly like WTF's and things like that. Then Gaara does the most damning thing he has ever done. He just points to me and says,
"He's my new master and I can't leave his side because of a body link." And after a second of silence, all of their rage and furry comes flying at me.
I'm in a storm of hatred and anger with all of them looking as if they want my head for a soccer ball. I'm still not fallowing what they say but it's still a lot of WTF's, name calling and cursing. His family is nothing like him I see now.
"Hey, just so you all know he's from the NAMIKAZE family. He just has his mother's last name to help him be him so tread lightly." Gaara finally helps but I don't really get why my Pa's family has to do with anything. They told me that they don't really talk to that side of the family because their all rich jerks.
"WHAT?! This is the Hokage's son?!" the guy in black says. That shut's them all up. They back away from me and stare. I really feel awkward right now. I rub the back of my head and try to figure out why they stopped wanting to kill me. The old lady bows really low, pulling the other two down as well and says,
"Please forgive my grandchildren son of Namikaze-sama. We will accept any punishment you deem fit." Holy hell, just how prestigious is my Pa's side? I don't know what to say.
"Um…no need for that, just stand, you're kinda of embarrassing me." I know I must be beet red.
"Thank you Hidenka." The girl says. Now their calling me prince. I really don't know who I must be or this is a really complicated prank. I just rub my head some more.
"Hidenka, may I ask what my little brother has done to gain your favor? He isn't respectful nor proper when it comes to matters such as this." The guy says. Now that I know I don't know. I'm just as confused as all of them.
"I don't know. Gaara just sorta saved me a few days ago and then some stuff happened and now we're here." I don't really want to tell them I had sex with Gaara but I think that "body link" thing may have already told them. I'm just trying to find the least awkward way of doing this and I don't think Gaara is going to help.
"You guys don't have to be so formal with me. Up until today, I didn't even know I was a Magi so just speak as you normally would." I can't have them calling me prince without knowing what's going on.
"Okay, but may I ask your name?" the granny ask me. I guess they forgot it from all the yelling they were just doing.
"Just call me Naruto okay?"
"Yes, Naruto-sama."
"No, just Naruto. No need for the honorific."
"Granny chio, just go with it. Naruto-kun isn't that big headed as to want to be called stuff like that. And you guy's still haven't introduced yourselves yet." Gaara finally stops just adding monkey wrenches in the mix and joins the conversation.
"I'm sorry, I'm Chio." The granny tells me.
"I'm Terami."
"I'm Kankuro."
"Well, now that that's over we can get to business. I'm now bonded to Naruto through some, 'unforeseen events' and I will become his Familiar from now on. I lost my freedom but I gained a loving person to be by my side forever now. I would do it again in a heartbeat so no need to get upset, okay?" Gaara seems to have thought about this for a while because I can see he's a little scared to say this. I wonder if they can see it in his eyes. I go over to him and hold his hand so he can calm down. This must have shocked his brother but Terami and Chio seems to smile a little. I can feel for Kankuro though, because when Sasuke first showed up with Suigetsu I was very pissed but I knew I couldn't really do anything.
"So Naruto, do you love Gaara?" Terami ask and I know I must be blushing brighter than Gaara's hair. They all just laugh and brush it off. This is one weird family. I don't know what is going to happen between me and Gaara but I don't think it's not going to be love. I look over at Gaara and he just gives me a little smirk. I guess this isn't so bad.
"So what really happened to get you and my little brother together?" Kankaro ask me. Not this again…
"I told you, he saved me…and this and that happened and…now this…" I feel like Gaara knew this would happen.
"Gaara must have seduced him. That's my grandson. Getting someone as prestigious as a Namikaze to fall for him." Chio is just as happy as can be with that and gives Gaara a little wink.
"I learned from the best Granny." Gaara is a dick…
"Cut that out!" Kankuro and I say together. We look at each other and I guess we feel the same way; this is not what is needed to be said right now. I just need to turn this around to something more, I don't know, constructive.
"Can we get off of me and Gaara? I still don't know you guys all that much." Okay, that should help.
"Can I get on you then?" Garra licks my ear and I think my room just got a lot hotter. Who turned on the heat you bastards?
"Wow, my little brother seems to be growing up fast. I remember like it was just yesterday you were playing in my make-up and I put those cute dresses on you." Terami is my new favorite. She got the prissy cat into a dress? I really hope they have cameras where ever they're from because I want to see that.
"Terami! I didn't play with your make-up; you put that crap on me!" Gaara doesn't seem to like how this is going so I'm happy. I pull him down into my lap and he just seems even more pissed.
"Now Gaara, I say you put that stuff on because I showed you how to put in on. You have it on now." Kankuro say. I guess he does have on some sort of intricate make-up on. I didn't know those rings around Gaara's eyes are make-up.
"Shut up Kankuro! I have this on because I have dark rings anyway, I don't sleep well."
"And because Mother was a Tanuki and he has got her eyes…"Terami whispers in my eye. Wow, now I want to see him without his make-up on.
~let's say another 20 minutes or so go past of getting to know each other~
Well this has been really nice. I learned a lot about Gaara and I got him to blush a lot too. I feel like I'm gonna like having his family around when they come around…well when I summon them. I'm going to have to ask them when I can do that so I don't interrupt anything.
"Well this was fun but we got a party to go to" I move Gaara out of my lap which he has been sitting happily and shake hands with all of them. I sense something bad coming from Gaara's direction…this can't be good.
"Wait Naruto, why not invite them? They are family now and it's a costume party so no one while bat an eye at our ears and tails" Gaara says. I guess he's right and it is an animal them.
"Sure, want to come with us?"
"I think that would be fun, how about you 2?" Kankuro ask the girls.
"I'm too old to go but you should go my dearies." Chio says. Too bad, she is just as wild as any of my friends.
"I love parties!" Terami squeals. I guess this is going to get interesting.
"Give me a minute to get something" I tell them.
"OH don't worry about that, I got you covered oh ho ho ho." Chio raises her hand and the same purple glow comes out and flashes bright. I go blind for a second and before I knew it I was at my party. Everyone thought it was special effects or something and clap and hoot. I'm glad my parents wert her because they would know what really just happened.
"Naruto-kun that was soo cool! How did you do that?!" a random guy from school asked.
"Uh…magic man, you don't ask how it was done, just enjoy." I think that worked. I got more people around me than I remember inviting. Maybe it's the three good looking people around me. I must have some of the hottest "people" around me because I can't move from the crowd.
I think I should be getting mad at all the girl drooling over Gaara but I don't have anything to worry about plus I'm not the jealous type. That might be a problem because I was cheated on and used a lot of times so far but I won't let it get to my heart. I got someone who isn't going to leave me this time (I guess he can't leave but that's not the main thing keeping him here). I tell Kankuro and Terami to go have fun and they part the groupies like the red sea and they rush after them like well, the red sea. Our crowd dies down some but we still have people asking a few too many questions that seem a bit too close to asking if we're going out. Someone must be talking about us and I think I know who.
"Gaara, what was Sasuke asking when I wasn't there?" I just know he's the source of this.
"It took you way too long to figure that out. He asked just about everything you've heard so far and I think some more. I didn't answer everything but I did for most of them." Gaara said. I guess I should be happy with that since I can tell that Sasuke asked some very personal questions if even Gaara didn't answer them. I now have to find him and see how long it'll take for me to kick his ass.
"Hurting him won't work, he's stronger that you." Gaara seems to be reading my mind. "I'm not reading your mind I'm just smarter than you. And your fist are clenched almost to the point of drawing blood." Oh yeah…
"Well he's still talking about shit that isn't for him to talk about. I need to put an end to this right now."
I grab Gaara and disperse the crowd still being annoying to go find that ass. I look all over to see if I can smell the smell of gay around here…That may be a bit too much seeing my predicament…oh well. I see that my party is a hit like always but this is going to have to wait.
People keep coming up to me saying this year's party is so great and much better than last years. I smile and thank them politely but I don't really notice the face of who is saying this to me because I'm on the hunt for Sasuke. I try to be nice with them all but they just won't stop coming and it's getting hard to walk around them all but then I see that duck-butt hair and I know It's him. I push way through the line like I'm some football star and I get to him. I grab him and spin him around.
"Hey Teme, can you tell me why everyone is asking me about my relationship status lately?" and he just scoffs.
"Why not look at your hands Dobe." What the hell is he talking about? I look down and I get it. This whole time I've been here me and Gaara's hands have been intertwined. I guess I just screwed myself.
"I told you it's pointless. And you should have noticed earlier but it still takes too long for you to notice these things." Gaara tells me and I now feel like an idiot.
"Are you ready to go and stop being so immature?" Gaara…
"Whatever, let's go dance."

Okay, I got it done! It took way too long with my finals and all but I did it! I got one more chapter left and I will make that one much better than this. To be honest, I feel like this is just filler but I had to do something to bring a bit more depth into it I think and this seemed like a good way to do it. I know I'm late but this is the end and I will make sure the last chapter is fun and very lemony ;)
