A bad time for Love

One

            "Damn it! This is bullshit!" Kunkuro slammed his fist against the table and I rubbed my eyes as he continued "Why the hell- no HOW the hell did they find out about this?! I know people are going missing, but what source do they have?".

            He was talking about the missing people around the village that have been taken in the middle of the night. Each one of them were people who knew how to do the Life Reincarnation. We have been investigating this for a long time now, but so far we haven't gotten any leads at all. We believe the people taking them are trying to make a puppet out of someone who has passed, which would explain why they were taken and why they came to us. We are the only village who can do this.

            Kunkuro growled as he threw the paper on the table "I swear to God Gaara, I am going to kill whoever told the press. We told them to keep this under the radar!".

            I shook my head "Kunkuro, it doesn't matter. Too many people are gone and people are bound to be curious. We just need to wrap this up quickly and find who is doing this".

            As if on cue, Temari walked through the door and stood between us "Alright well...we still have nothing".

            I sat back in my chair and closed my eyes, waiting for what I knew was coming next. Kunkuro jumped up and stared at our sister, including the group behind her "Are you serious!? You couldn't find ANYTHING".

         Temari shook her head and looked over at me "Gaara...we have searched high and low and there is nothing".

            I opened my eyes and stood up, walking to my room "I need to get ready, and so don't you Kunkuro".

            I closed my bedroom door as soon as Kunkuro started to complain again. I could finally take a deep breath as the silence of my room wrapped around me. There had to be something we were missing, some clue or hint that we're overlooking. There can't be nothing, there has to be SOMETHING.

            I got dressed and put on my cloak, walking out into the living room to wait on Kunkuro. Temari and her team left again to investigate more, but I knew there was no luck. Kunkuro finally came out and we headed for the office. I needed to get some paperwork done and hopefully clear my head from this bullshit. Of course, while we walked Kunkuro kept complaining, and I heard about 20% of it. I was tired of the bitching, tired of keeping everyone calm when really, we shouldn't be. Something was happening, but we had no idea what. I was so stressed I felt like I was drowning with no help in sight.

            When we got into my office, I plopped down into my chair smiling at the empty room. It was finally quiet, finally peaceful. I looked out the window for a couple more minutes, then groaned when someone knocked on the door. I turned and yelled for them to enter. Kunkuro and another shinobi entered with a smile "Gaara! We have an idea!".

            "Alright," I sighed "let's hear it".

             Kunkuro walked up to the desk and leaned over "You know the city of Kireina right?".

             I scoffed "you mean the city that is so beautiful, people swear it was built by angels?".

             Kunkuro nodded "yep that's the one! Any way, they are the foundation of the Apollo's, the most deadly alliance in the world. They can help us find the missing people and help us stop this!".

            I thought about this for a second, and to be honest I will take anything I can get right now. Apollo's were more lethal than the Akatsuki and Orochimaru combined. Their Leader, Jensa, was immortal, and a damn good leader. She was feared around the world, and so wasn't her team. They have done some of the toughest assassinations, making them well known.
