Hello guys! This is Chapter 5!

Chapter 5 The bandits

A few hours later I woke up and sensed that someone is laying next to me. I turned around and saw that Gaara was laying next to me, but wait… Is he sleeping? I remembered when we were young he could sleep, because he was with me. I smiled and stroked some hair from his face and was stroking his kanji. I saw that he also had pulled himself under the sheets. I laid closer to him and snuggle myself in him. I felt his arms around and pulled me more closer. I closed my eyes and listened to his heartbeat. And I sighed. Why am I the one who must kill Gaara? I hope that it wouldn't get out of hand. I just don't want to kill him. I put my arms around him and hugged him. I calmed down a little because of his warmth and I heard that he was awake.

" Had you sleep well Asuka?" He was looking at me and I was looking at him and I nodded to him.

" Yes, I needed that. " He pulled some hair from my face and was still looking at me. I gave a quick kiss on his cheek and chuckled a bit.

" ASUKA! DINNER IS READY!" I heard my grandmother screaming from downstairs.

" Do you want to eat with us?" I looked at him and he nodded slowly. We both got out of bed and walked downstairs.

" Ah, hello Gaara. I didn't knew you were here." My grandmother smiled at him, but he didn't smile back. She knew that, but that didn't hold her back to give him a smile.

We were sitting at the table next each other, and my grandmother gave us the plates with the food on it and began with eating. We have talked about some things. And I have talked with Gaara about the mission, and what would be the best to do. My grandmother gave us also advice. Gaara looked already annoyed by that but I ignored it. and I thanked my grandma for the advice. When we were done with dinner I helped my grandmother with the dishes. After that we were sitting in the living room drinking some tea with each other. " Gaara, I'm a little bit nervous about the mission." I looked at him and he looked at me. " Why? I'm with you so nothing will happen. Don't be a coward Asuka." He drank his tea and I looked at the ground. " Yes, you are right. " I put my mug back on the table and looked at the other way. " I'm going soon to bed. Tomorrow we must departed early, so I want to get enough rest and sleep." I grabbed my mug and walked to the kitchen and put it in the sink and walked back to the living room. " I'm going to sleep. " I bowed and walked up to my room and closed the door and went in bed. I laid against the wall under the sheets and waited for Gaara. I heard the door slowly got opened and slowly got closed. I heard some noises and felt that someone came in my bed and holds me firmly. I felt a naked chest and legs, I turned around and saw that Gaara had undressed himself and was laying next to me. He had closed his eyes and hold me tightly. I snuggled myself into him and also closed my eyes. And we both went to sleep.

The next morning my alarm clock rings and before I could turned him off, Gaara had smashed it against the wall. My eyes were wide and looked at him. And saw he went back to sleep. " Gaara wake up, we have our mission." He growled and I sighed. I got out of bed and got dressed, I brushed my hair and had my hair as usual. I grabbed a bag and put some stuff in it, what I thought to be needed. " Gaara got out of bed! We have a mission!" I walked to my bed and shook him. He growled again, but I ignored it. " If you don't wake up, then you may not sleep next to me anymore." He opened his eyes and looked at me. " I dare you." I smirked at him and pulled the sheets of him. " Get out of bed…" I walked back to my bag and checked everything. I heard that Gaara get dressed and was standing next to me. " Are you ready?" I looked at him and nodded.

We walked to the gate and saw Baki-sensei. " Baki-sensei what are you doing here?" I looked confused at him and he gave me a scroll.

" This is the map for your mission. Don't fail it." I nodded at him and took the scroll. I put the scroll in my pouch and left Suna with Gaara. We had walked for hours, and I was looking around. " Is the cloud village really far?" I looked at him but he didn't answer. Great, this meant to be a two men squad mission, but I have the feeling that I'm on my own. I took the map out of my pouch and was looking at it. " How long are we walking in this desert? It is hot!" I looked at him but still no answer. Grrrrrrr! Why is he ignoring me!

When we were finally out of the desert we jumped from branch to branch in the trees. I was still looking at the map and looked how far we are. " Gaara shall we take a break? Maybe you don't need it but I do. So can we sit somewhere?" He stopped at a branch and looked around. I jumped next to him and looked at him. " We can rest here in the tree, that gives less risk of being discovered." I nodded at him and was sitting on a branch and got my eyes closed. I sensed only the chakra of Gaara, I looked at him with one eye and he has also his eyes closed, he stands with his arms crossed against the tree. I smiled and closed my eye again.

After a hour we went further, when I thought about something. " Gaara we don't even know how they look like. So how do we know, if they are the bandits."

" My father told me they had scars on their body." He didn't even look at me, but I was glad he had answered me.

" Oh, and I was also thinking about, when we arrived at the cloud village. I have cloaks with me to cover us, when we are there. And we rent a room in a hotel. So that we have time to go into the village to look where they are. And what they are planning to do with the documents." He nodded at me and we goes further.

When we finally arrived at the cloud we removed our headbands and put them in my bag and grabbed two cloaks, and put them on. We walked to a nearby hotel and rent a room for a few days in case. We went to our room and locked it. I pulled off the cloak and laid it somewhere in the room. And was watching outside of the window. " Do you see something Asuka?" I shook my head.

" Only some people from the cloud. I think it is the best, to sleep this night. And tomorrow searching for the bandits, and if we found them, we are going to spying them in the night and looking for where they hide the documents." He agreed with me and hugged me then from behind. " Lay with me Asuka. It's a order. And undress yourself." I nodded. I got away from the window and Gaara was sitting on the bed. I stand in front of him and undressed myself. It turned me on to strip in front of him. when I was fully undressed I walked to the bed and was laying under the sheets. I saw that Gaara was also undressing himself and laid next to me. He hold me tight and I put my arms around his neck. " I'm glad that you can sleep if you are with me."

"Hn." He closed his eyes and so did I.

The next morning we woke up and I brought breakfast to our room. Gaara got also dressed and we ate together. " Gaara, I saw some suspicious men in the canteen." He looked at me.

" Suspicious?" I nodded to him. " They were whispering all the time, and heard some words like documents and jutsu's" I ate my sandwich and drank my milk.

" They are also renting a room here. But I think they have a kind of special room. You know what I mean. Not a room like this but so underground base room." He nodded.

" So you think that the hotel has also something to do with this?" I shrugged my shoulders.

" Maybe… But we must be careful. " We were done with eating and I brought it back to the canteen, I saw the men still sitting at a table and they were looking at me. I turned away from them and wanted to walk back to my room.

" Hey little girl, what are you doing here in a hotel all by yourself?" One of the men said to me.

" I'm not alone, I'm her with my boyfriend." I gave him a glare and wanted to walk further but they stopped me.

" But you are so young, to be renting also a room in this hotel." Okay, this guy irritates me now.

" And what do you care? Just leave me alone already." I pushed him aside, but then he grabbed my arm.

" I don't like the tone how you speak to me little girl." He said dangerously to me. I saw that the other people were running out of the canteen. Oh shit! Gaara please come down here!

" Let her go, old man…" I know that voice! I looked at the door opening and saw Gaara standing there.

" Gaara!" I tried to get free but he hold me tighter.

" Old man?! Have you no respect for adults?" He looked angry at Gaara.

" No, I haven't. " I saw some sand flowing by his side.

" If you don't let me go, then he will kill you." The men was laughing hard.

" He, would kill me? Hahaha don't make me laugh girl. He is just a boy." I looked angry at him, but then I sensed a strange chakra. Oh no! please no! I looked at Gaara and saw it. The Shukaku is going to wake up.

" Gaara calm yourself! Don't let the Shukaku get out!" I kicked the man in his stomach and got free. I ran to Gaara and tried to calm him down. What must I do?! I need to calm him down! "You and your father holding the element of lightning. Sand is weak against lightning." " I'm sorry Gaara…" He looked confused at me and I put my hand on his shoulder and shocked him with my lightning that he lost his consciousness. I laid him aside and fought with the few man. The battle took long and I was hurt badly. I had scratches everywhere and cuts. My mouth was bleeding, and couldn't look brightly. But with my last jutsu I made an end of this. " Thunder fist jutsu!" I shocked the both men's and was panting. They were all laying dead on the ground. I grabbed Gaara on my back and run back to our room, and laid him on the bed. A few minutes later he woke up and looked angry at me.

" Why did you do that to me?!" And he slapped me in the face. It hurt badly. And I looked back at him.

" Because the Shukaku was almost awake! I have saved you and myself!" I hadn't take care of my wounds yet, because I waited till he was awake.

" But they are dead now, so we can go to their room and finds the documents. " I stood up and grabbed the bag and put it on my back. " Come on Gaara." I walked out of the door and he followed me. we searched for the room and had found it finally. Gaara smashed the door with his sand and we walked in. It was actually an ordinary room, but there was something suspicious about it. I went to the bookshelf and pulled at each book what was in it, but no results. Gaara was also looking but then with his sand. He had his sand on the wall and searched for a secret door and found it.

" I have found something." I ran up to him and he smashed his sand through the wall. My eyes became wide but then followed him. and we had found finally the documents. " Yeah, we found it Gaara. " I hugged him, and took the scrolls with us. I wanted to walk back but a trapdoor opened and I fell down. " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

" ASUKA!" He threw his sand in the trapdoor but couldn't reach me. I went too fast down wards and fell in a pool of water. I came above the water and swam to the side. I coughed and looked around me. I heard some noises and saw Gaara standing on his sand. I smiled at him and was standing next to me. " Are you alright?" He helped me to get up and I nodded to him. " But we have the documents so we can go home now. I'm done here." I squeezed the water out of my hair. And looked still around me. " Where are we? This looks like a cave or something. " I saw a tunnel and looked at Gaara who nodded to me and we walked through it.

We didn't knew how long we were walking but finally we saw some lights. When we reached it we came out by a sort of beach. " Where the hell are we?!" Gaara said nothing and just walked further. I hate it that he says nothing. It's almost he is ignoring me. I sighed and walked next to him. " Ne, Gaara…" I looked at him, but he didn't looked at me. " Do you know where we are? I want to go home." He looked at me and shook his head. " No, I don't know where we are." And so we walked on intuition.
