-Fayre-
Two weeks have passed since Jekiro asked me to join the ANBU and I still haven't been sent on a mission yet. All I've been told to do is protect Gaara. I've been in Suna a total of three weeks, and still haven't been outside it's walls since the day I took on the entire ANBU squad.
"Fayre, how would you like to come with me and my siblings to go see an old friend of mine?"
Gaara asked and I looked up at him.
"Who's the friend?"
I asked and noticed Gaara smirk at me.
"He's the one who showed me that life is about more than just killing. And he just became the Hokage of Konoha. Would you like to come?"
He asked and I shot across the room and stopped next to him as he stood up.
"Yes, very much!"
I said and heard him chuckle a bit.
"Then it's settled. We'll leave at sunrise tomorrow."
He said and I couldn't help myself. I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my head in his chest.
"You have no idea how happy I am right now."
I said and blushed when I felt his arms snake around my waist. He used one hand to lift my chin so I was looking up at him. I looked into his teal colored eyes and felt my face heat up even more.
"I believe I understand a little."
He said before he leaned down. My heart pounded in my chest and my face heated even more, but I didn't pull away. Our lips were inches apart when there was a knock on the door to his office.
I heard Gaara growl as he let me go and sat back down in his chair before telling the intruder to come in. I turned and looked out the window as Gaara talked over the best way to keep pranksters out of Yotomori's weapons shop. Once he left I turned to look at Gaara.
"I'm gonna head home and get some rest for tomorrow. I'll see you bright and early at the gates."
I said before leaving. I stopped by the ANBU training ground and told Jekiro to take my place before using my sand to get home faster. I dressed down to my silk blue pj shorts and white tank top before crawling into bed. I couldn't wait for tomorrow.
-Temari-
"Alright, that's everything. Let's get going."
I said and everyone nodded, except for Gaara, before we headed out for Konoha. I was shocked when Fayre said she would be the only one coming with us to protect Gaara and us, but then I remembered the report given by Gaara of what he saw her do while fighting the ANBU and I had no doubt we were probably the safest people in all of the five Nations.
We made good time and were almost there by nightfall. Fayre told Kankuro and us to stay put while she disappeared multiple times into the woods. She came back with firewood, then game that she skinned and cooked in the fire. Once we were all fed and warm she was going to go look around for any danger when gaara grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down.
"You've done enough for today."
He said and I smiled when I saw Fayre glare at him.
"I was just going to-"
She started getting up, but stopped when Gaara used his sand to grab her round the waist and pull her back down. She landed between his legs with her back to his chest. Her face darkened with a blush and I smiled at my younger brother and the woman I'd already begun to think of as my sister. We all settled in for the night and slept peacefully with the fire keeping away stray animals.
-Gaara-
I woke to find Fayre wasn't in my arms. I looked around slightly panicked till I saw her crouched in a tree looking towards Konoha. I used my sand to appear on the branch next to her.
"So that's Konoha?"
She asked and I nodded.
"Yes. Come on, we should be able to get there before midday."
I said as I jumped to the next tree. I heard Fayre wake my brother and sister, then we were on our way. Kankuro tried to race Fayre, but lost. Even Temari tried to race her only to lose.
"Come on Gaara, race me."
She said as she jumped backwards from tree branch to tree branch.
"No."
I said and saw her pout.
"You're no fun. I would have made it worth your while had you beaten me."
She said, but as much as that piqued my interest I still said no.
"Oh forget about it Fayre. He doesn't need to see you naked anyway, though I've got to say it is a sight to behold."
Kankuro said and I stared at him in shock.
"Hey! Who the hell said anything about him seeing me naked! And besides, that time you saw me naked was an accident."
She said and I glared at my brother.
"Oh shit."
Kankuro said as he noticed the change in my attitude. I was about to use my sand on him when Fayre suddenly hopped on my back and leaned in so she could whisper in my ear.
"Don't worry about it, I already got him back. I put itching powder in his underwear and he had a rash for about a week."
She said before she kissed my cheek and jumped ahead of us. I couldn't help but smirk at the fact that Fayre made Kankuro suffer, so I left him alone.
"Come on Gaara, race me!"
Fayre said, going back to that.
"No."
I said and heard her sigh.
"Why not?"
She asked and I smiled at her as we stopped at the edge of the woods. Fayre was facing us so she couldn't see the gates.
"Because, we're here."
