Wind and Sand: Journal of Lord and Lady Kazekage

By TwilightAnimeLover21

Karura Diary entry #1: Hikaru Sabuku is a Jerk!

I hate Hikaru Sabuku with a burning passion of a thousand burning suns. I don't care if he's next in line for Kazekage. I despise him. He's right across from me, hanging with his teammates smiling and laughing- Stupid rich boy. His hair is an auburn color (Though it looks red in certain lights) and he looks like he is wearing eyeliner on his burgundy eyes. I swear if Reiko-chan weren't holding me back, I'd strangle Hikaru in a heartbeat. It doesn't help that he is a bit good looking too and about 4 years older than me. Tall, Handsome, though he's pale as ivory though (Seriously, we live in a desert, where's his tan? Or is he secretly a girl?), and pretty smart too. Not only that he has a cool jutsu. He controls gold dust. Seriously, I should call him Mr. Fairy sometime, just to get on his nerves. And get this; he carries a small little gourd to hold the dust in it. HA! What a guy. NOT!

Yashamaru had decided to get me this diary because he said, "You need an outlet for your pent up anger, Karura-nee-chan. You have a tendency to hurt people around you if you keep this up." I love my little brother to death, but really he can get annoying sometimes. You see, I moved to Suna with my family a few years back. And seeing that we didn't have the best income: My mother being a prostitute and my father being a recovering alcoholic. It was time for a change. My mother now has a steady job working as a waitress, and my dad helping rehabilitate ninja who have a need of giving up alcohol so they can focus on their lives and making it better. Really this is a change for the better. Yashamaru and I decided to help improve our income by becoming ninja. It would appear that Yashamaru and me were exceptional ninja. Yashamaru was better than me though. Dumb little brother. But hey, I'm proud of him. Me? Not so much. But I have pretty good aim with shuriken and kunai knives and just for shits and giggles; I bought myself a huge fan as a weapon.

Yes, fear me! For I am Karura! The Wind Mistress! Okay, maybe I need to work on the name. But hey, it's fun blowing away my opponents. Oh crap. Hika-poo is coming over. What does he want? Maybe I should call him Mr. Fairy and see what his reaction will be. I'll be back Diary!

Karura sat down her pen and tucked away her "diary" in her bag. She had her medium length dirty blond hair in a high ponytail and her teal-grey eyes narrowed at the boy that was walking over to her. He was smirking. She frowned at the boy whom she despised.

"What do you want Mr. Fairy?" She said as she smiled spitefully. Hikaru stopped in his tracks and Karura laughed at his expression.

"What…did you call me?" He said his slightly deep voice said.

Karura giggled. "Mr. Fairy. You know, because you carry gold dust? Seriously. People would have to mistake you as a fairy for carrying gold dust." She said sharply. Hikaru glared at the woman in front of him.

"That is ridiculous. But really, could you come up with a better nickname that that? That has got to be the lamest I've ever heard." He smiled crookedly.

Hikaru was not one to back down that easily. "Maybe I should call you "Sand Cat". A ferocious beast with a temper like yours and a personality like one." He grinned back.

Now it was Karura's turn to glare at him. "Sorry Fairy, I like your nickname. It suits you so well." She said venomously. "Plus I feel bad for your future children. They will probably sparkle like you, and look like you too. Oh well I guess that's the price you pay for being a Fairy I guess." She said as she stood up to leave. Hikaru wouldn't have it. He grabbed her wrist and held her in that spot.

"Damn, you have a sharp tongue. I feel sorry for your future husband who has to deal with it." He said smiling crookedly. Both of them locked eyes with each other and glared with all their might.

Then, "Fairy!"

"Sand Cat."

"Drag Queen"

"Tomboy."

"That's the best you can do Tinkerbelle?"

"Nope, I still have a lot of words to describe you, Chibi."

"Hey! How dare you call me that! I'm petite! Not Chibi, you string bean."

"String bean? Ha! What a lame comeback, chicky."

"At least I eat healthy, you vampire."

"I thought you were calling me a fairy, kid?"

"No, I'm saying you sparkle like a fairy because of that gold dust jutsu you have, I'm calling you a vampire because you are a freak of nature. You have no tan and we are out in the desert, Old man."

"I'm four years older than you, Sand cat. My, you have a horrible temper."

Karura and Hikaru glared at each other more. "They're at it again? Yeash, this is the fourth time this month that they are fighting." A stander by said to his companion. "Yeah, you're telling me. At least Hikaru has the guts to face Karura. The rest of the male population has either been on the receiving end of her mean left hook or a knee to the groin. I'm surprised that he's lasting this long." Another person said. "Well he is the next Kazekage. I wouldn't be surprised if she had to restrain herself against making such pains at him to save face." A woman said.

Hikaru smirked. Karura gave a sneer at the older boy. He let her wrist go and he took a step back. He placed his hand in his pockets and leaned back a little.

"Stop scowling, your pretty face will stick that way." He said smiling.

Karura gave a huff. "Tch, flattery will get you nowhere. Why don't you go and flaunt yourself at your fan club. I'm sure they would love to fawn over your sparkling fairy self." She said as she turned away. "At least they have some body and you are just a flat-chested broad with no particular talent." He muttered. Karura froze in her tracks.

NO ONE insulted Karura Kusabana and gets away with it. Her eyes took on a dark teal color and she turned around and gave Hikaru her glare of death.

"What. Did. You. Say?" She spoke with malice and anger.

Hikaru looked away as if her glare didn't affect him "I'm sure you heard me, or you must be deaf." He said flippantly.

Meanwhile people in the area took cover. It was fairly common for them to take cover from the blond-haired chunin when she get's mad. They started grabbing their fragile items and dragged them inside. Pottery, glass vases, their children and other things and slammed their doors shut. The citizens fear the girl's wrath. The Shinobi, on the other hand, took to the tops of roofs a safe distance away. Hikaru never noticed that.

Karura's bangs covered her eye and in a swift movement she took out her giant fan and opened it in full swing.

"SABUKU! YOU ARE DEAD, YOU JERK!" She shouted as she forced all of her chakra into her fan and swung with full force. "Wind Style: Wind Scythe Jutsu!" She shouted as wind blades sped towards Hikaru.

His eyes widened in surprise and he quickly uncorked his medium-sized gourd of gold dust and created a shield to protect himself from the onslaught of the girl's attacks. Then he experienced the most painful thing in the world.

TAL21:And a cliffhanger! There are two parts to this chapter, and the next part will come up on sunday when i Update The dead tell no tales! So you have a little taste of what Karura is like, I mean, what do you think Temari got her personality from? LOL. The next chapter will feature Hikaru as we dive into his life of moving up in the world and politics are going to take a wild ride. XD And I had a few questions about this and here i will answer.

To SpunkyPaperAngel: The reasons why i hold my stories "Hostage" is because I'd like feedback from the readers and how they feel about the story. If i don't get much feedback, i can't continue a story that people would just go 'eh, it's okay' and just follow it. Not only that i thoroughly enjoy writing and i push myself to the limits to finish it. Which is why i'm trying my best to do "The Dead Tell No Tales" and "Wind and Sand". "Wind and Sand" will most likely be a short fic and about 20 chapters or so, so this would be pretty easy to work with. Not only that, I also feel sad that there are not many Fics on Karura and the 4th Kazekage. And i wanted to make it while still working on TDTNT. I hope that answers your review! :)

To xMissNalax: I have a hard time working with paragraphs and dialogue when it comes to things like this (Considering the fact that i took College English 101 and didn't work much on dialogue, it's a bit rough), but i will keep that in mind and will experiment with my stories and how to separate the dialogue from the paragraph. Thank you for helping out! :)

Anyways, i hope you enjoyed this chapter, though short, but sweet, and i hope you guys will enjoy the next! :) Remember, Opinions, Reviews and Feedbacks are welcomed and appreciated and KEEP ON READING AND IMAGINING! :D
