Part 36

Rue didn't manage to fall asleep the previous night. She'd ended up going outside and looking at the stars instead.

Now at mid-morning, Rue was ready to bludgeon someone. So she went to the academy.

"Are you lost?" A chunin asked her as she looked around.

"Kind of. I'm looking for Gaara. He's one of the ninja from Suna that's been helping out. He's about yay tall, kind of gorgeous. Yea I need him." Rue said.

"Um okay then." The person said slowly before leaving Rue.

Rue looked around more after he'd walked off. It was her first time inside. It looked boring to her. Why would parents send kids here? What, were they so busy slaughtering other people's parents that they were unable to teach their own children?

She'd been taught by her father. Her mother was usually on a mission or with the Fourth Kazekage. Katya had been there to teach Rue about poisons and how to wield a kunai. But they only nurtured the former as Arin didn't want Rue playing with knives.

Arin also taught Rue basic medical procedures; cleaning a wound, stitching it up, and wrapping it.

"Oi kid!"

Rue turned. The chunin from a while ago had returned, with Gaara.

"Gaara!" Rue grinned and ran across the hall, flinging her arms around his neck.

"Thank you, Mr. Killer." Rue said to the man as he left.

"Mr. Killer?" Gaara asked

Rue shook her head and released Gaara. Only to grab his sleep and pull him to the door. He followed lazily, watching her.

"Where are we going?"

"I'm kidnapping you for the rest of the day."

"Does Temari know about this?"

"Is she supposed to know everything?"

"I guess not."

"Then let's go! C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" Rue giggled, bouncing around.

"Okay. I'm right behind you. Relax Rue."

She nods and took him outside.

Getting Gaara had taken longer than she had anticipated so they started with lunch. Rue took him to Ichiraku. Naruto had made that a favorite of hers. She didn't go as often as Naruto, but she still loved it.

After eating, she took him everywhere she deemed important. The movie theater, hot springs, Yamanaka flowers.

Though Ino's mother kicked them out after Rue asked about a bouquet of poisonous flowers.

At the end of the day, Rue and Gaara returned to Naruto's apartment. Something felt off.

The door was closed but Rue got a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach. She gave Gaara a worried look as she opened the door.

Sitting at the table was Temari. Stiff, legs crossed, giant fan next to her. She did not look happy at all.

"Finally, you're home. I thought I'd have to wait all night." Temari said, narrowing her eyes at Rue.

"Is it too late to turn and run?" Rue asked Gaara.

He shrugged, watching his sister.

"Rue. I get your lonely but Gaara was doing something. You can't just pull him out of things." Temari informed Rue.

"That's not fair Temari! Yes, I am lonely. But if all I wanted was company I'd have visited Naruto or Neji."

"Then what other reason do you have?" Temari raised an eyebrow, almost challengingly.

"I wanted to spend the day with him because it took six and a half years to become friends and I don't know when I'll get to see him again. Also, I haven't decided if I'm returning to Suna or not and wanted his input."

Temari mulled over what Rue said and her eyes shot open. Rue'd always loved Temari's eyes; sharp and intensely teal. They were beautiful and intimidating.

"You're coming back to Suna?" She asked. Rue nodded.

"I'm thinking about it."

"Gaara what do you think about it?" Temari asked, turning to her youngest brothers.

"I think it's up to Rue. But I won't disagree if she decides it's something she wants."
