Doubted Memories Chp.4 Kazekage

Oct 14, 2010 22:46

  I walked out of the Hokage's office and ran as fast as I could down the stairs. Damn it! I no longer want to see Sasuke's face. I'm sick of him, he shouldn't be here! He should've just stayed where ever he was. I had already made up my mind to no longer associate myself with him, but now he just comes and ruins my plans. Damn it! Damn it all, the fucking bastard! I have to talk to Karin, soon. Wait! No! What if Sasuke's only reason of coming back to Konoha was to dispose of Karin that way no information may be spilled of his current plans, and destinaions. No, I can't let that happen. I have to warn Karin and Ibiki, now.

"Naruto?" I suddenly heard a husky voice say.
I turned around and my eyes widened as I saw who it was.
  "Gaara, w-what are you doing here?" I asked startled and yet happy to see him.
   "The Hokage made it clear to me that Sasuke has come back to the village. And well knowing the rules, we would usually capture the missing-ninja but in this case there might be a chance of the penalty of death. That's why the Hokage sent out a letter to the rest of the Kage's to have a meeting and come to a decision." Gaara explained. I think that was the most I've ever heard him speak.
  "Uhh...?" Was all I could say. I did not understand one word Gaara had said.

I looked at Gaara dumb founded. The last time I had seen him was when I saved him from the Akatsuki. He still wore that red long jacket and baige one shouldered vest. His gourd was still on his back, and his red tattoo on his forehead was barely visible under his now long side bangs. Gaara's bright red hair had become longer, his eyes were still the same shade of light green, and his skin was just as pale as I remembered. Only one thing did change...his height. When the hell did he get taller than me?

"It's been a while since the last time we've seen eachother hasn't it Uzumaki Naruto?" Gaara said in his low husky voice.
  "Yep! Hey Gaara wanna go get some ramen with me?" I asked hopeful. Now with Gaara here, I'll have my mind distracted from cursing the living lights out of Sasuke.
Plus there's alot of talking we have to do as buddies.
  "Didn't you hear Naruto? Gaara can't be with you right now he's the Kazekage. He's not some regular teenager who can do whatever he wants. Now go away we have to tell Hokage-sama of our arrival." Said a strange girl with dirty blonde hair.
  "Eeh...eto...eto.....who are you again?" I asked puzzled. She did look familiar but I just somehow couldn't remember her name.
  "Temari, please don't be so rude to Naruto. Go report to the hokage, the meeting is tommorow so I guess I can spend some time with Naruto," Gaara said in a whisper.
  "Yosha! C'mon Gaara let's go!" I said cheerfully as I unconsciously took Gaara's hand.

Ever since the incident with Akatsuki it's been easier to have physical contact with Gaara. After all, we did shake hands once, so holding hands was no more different or unsettling. It was....natural for us to be this close. I smiled at Gaara and saw his lips curve into a really small smile. At that, my smile became even broader. Atleast....I saved one friend. Atleast we have eachother. We ran together to Ichiraku's until I felt Gaara'd hand on my shoulder stopping me. He spun me around his face inches away from mine.
