Chapter Four-Part Two
He never listened. Not once really. He had been surprised by the overwhelming joy at seeing his friend. That's why he leaped him after Sakura said not to. He already knows that this is going to be a long mission.
Naruto sighs as he rolls onto his back on his new bed. His hair is wet and spread around his skull like a gold halo. The sun-kissed skin is a bit itching from the sand still.
Naruto has changed from his orange and black suit to a black muscle shirt and black, baggy pants. He still has the necklace Tsunade gave him around his neck and he holds it up. That's enough proof in his eyes that he will, one day, be Hokage.
A knock at the door startles him and then he sits up. The knock sounds again and he frowns. He then calls out, "Come in!"
The wooden door swings open. At first there is nothing there and he frowns. He stands up and walks to the door.
He looks into the hallway and sees not a soul. He scratches the back of his head in confusion before closing the door and returning to his bed. He then looks around the room.
The walls, floor, and ceiling is made of a sandy brick only known to Suna. They area rug placed over the floor is dark, a deep crimson that looks more like rust, and the small tables and chests give it a homey feeling. The bed itself is king-sized, which is covered in black silks, and the pillows are red. It almost reminds him of Kyuubi's container inside of his soul, where he was caged.
The next knock on his door causes him to sigh. He stands up and walks back to the door. On the inside he hears, Do you plan to be tricked again, kit?
Kyuubi has a thing for randomly saying things to him. He also offers advice, at random and always at the really odd moments, but it always gets him out of tricky situations. Some of the things he would rather have not done.
He opens the door, but nothing is there. A low growl comes from the fox-container's chest as he slams the door shut once again. He starts to walk to his bed when something hisses in the shadows.
Naruto seems to pause with one leg in the air as his eyes widen. His head slowly turns to where he heard the hiss. Then, slowly, a pulsing shadow comes into view.
"GHOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the blond screams as he charges from his room.
I jerk awake when I hear Naruto's scream echo through the building. I rip the door open and I see Temari exiting her room that is across from mine. Her eyes are narrowed and her hands are twitching.
"Good god! I'm trying to sleep!" she roars as she fully exits her room.
Then we see Naruto running the corner right at us. We both flatten ourselves to the wall, well I would have if I wasn't suddenly tackled by Naruto, and he seems to be shaking like crazy. I then hiss in anger, "Get off of me!"
"S-S-Saku-r-ra, a ghost is in my room!" he cries and then I hear someone walking down the hall towards us.
I sit up and I look at the corridor. I place my hand on Naruto's shoulder and he looks up at me. I then say, "I can't protect you from the dead."
His eyes go wide and he then sprints away. That leaves me laughing. Even Temari is laughing as we both go back into our rooms.
As Naruto turned another hallway a hand shot out and snatches him from the hall. The paler hand throws him across the room. He lands on a bed and bounces around on it for a second.
Then his eyes widen as he sees the ghost-like shadow walking towards him. He watches in horror as pieces of it, small grains of blackness, fall to the ground. Then, ever so slowly, emerges a person.
"Hello Naruto." The person says…
I feel Naruto's chakra spick, but a scream doesn't come. I feel my senses tingle with sudden worry. After feeling watched on the way here, even in the city, could there be someone here after him?
I quickly leave my room and I then dash down the hall to his room. I pull the door open, but no one is in there. I feel my eyes widen as I quickly send chakra out to find him. I sense him on the other side of the building and I run as fast as I can.
Each hall seems to get darker then the other. Yet, instead of getting colder it gets warmer. I find myself worrying even more.
I suggest you hurry. Inner Sakura tells me and I quickly turn a hall and then I sense him even more clearly.
I find the room he is in, but I am glade that the door is unlocked. I hope he is putting up a fight.
Then, from inside, I hear, "Let go!"
A low laugh is in respond and I grab onto the door knob. As I go to turn it I hear the click of it being locked. I then, with a growl, draw my fist back.
I feel the chakra gather in my hand and the hall is cast in an eerie green glow. The shadows dance on the walls and even my skin has a greenish glow to it. I then slam my tightened hand to the hard door, which is made of steel now that I notice, and I leap inside once the door is open.
I jerk to a stop and my eyes widen at the sight in front of me as a, 'holy shit', escapes my mouth.
Naruto, once again, is penned under a very…uh, I'm not sure what emotion he is feeling, but it doesn't look pretty. He has a hold of the blond's neck with his teeth, his left hand is up his shirt, and Naruto's face is very red. I can't see much more because of the sand swirling, but I can take a guess.
"And you said you weren't gay." I said with a grin.
"Don't you ever tell anyone you say this." Gaara growls out and he pulls the blond closer to him, which causes a groan from the boy.
"I won't. In fact, I didn't even want to see you…never mind. I'm not finishing that sentence." I say and I turn from them. I quickly walk back to my room.
Gaara had attacked Naruto with ease. Trapping his under him was easy. The blond didn't known what was happening till he was feeling him up.
He never expected Gaara to act like that. He blames part of it on Shukaku, his ex-demon, but he finds himself relaxing to his hold. Yet, as he was enjoying it Sakura had to barge in.
Gaara got her to leave and then he continued what he was doing. Yet, on the inside, Naruto hears a, All kits find a mate sooner or later. Never thought yours would be Shukaku's lost host. The kid seems a bit…I don't know…demanding.
"You know, her expression was priceless." Gaara says as he pulls Naruto into his lap and plays with his hair for the next few hours till the sun rises in the black sky.
