A bad time for Love

Two

        The sand village wasn't as beautiful as home, but everyone treated us with open arms as soon as we entered. I smiled "You have a lovely city".

 Gaara let out a short laugh "Thank you, but not as beautiful as yours".

         We both grinned at each other before I realized my brother watching us. Gaara smiled at him, which he returned, but I knew he was being polite. Gaara handed me a paper with all of the addresses where people have gone missing, and I told him I would report what we found as soon as we were done.

        As I watched him walk away, I started to wonder what his story was. He seemed so different, but at the same time he intrigued me. The 2 day trip here gave me time to talk to him for a while, but not enough to know him. I knew now wasn't the time for that though. James cleared his throat gaining my attention. His look was serious and protective. I knew what he was going to say before he said it. I held up my hand "No James, it won't happen...I was just looking".

         He rose a brow and scoffed "Yeah. Last time I had to beat the hell out of the guy because he tried to grab your ass".

         I rolled my eyes and he took my hand in his "Look, sis, I can already tell he likes you". I went to protest but he stopped me "Don't give me the shit Jensa. I'm your brother and I know these things".

Adam walked up to us before we could say anything else "Yo, we doing this or what man?".

I pushed past everyone, "Let's go".

         We searched every house on the list and found nothing out of the ordinary, so when we got to the most recent house, we walked in not expecting anything. I groaned, "Alright let's just get this over with. I want a full search and don't leave anything out".

Adam walked up to me while everyone was searching and smiled a little "Hey beautiful".

I rolled my eyes making him nudge my shoulder "Don't worry, we will find something".

         I gave my best grin before we spread out to look for anything we can find. James was lifting the couches and Adam was scanning the room with his mind (he's Telepathic so he can find and move things), and I was copying Adam's jutsu to scan the other rooms.

        Outside, Luke summoned his chakra warriors to help him look for anything in the back yard. The warriors he summons are almost indestructible and come in handy when in battle, we outnumber most of the enemies. Lynn is our shield, and she can block anything that comes her way. She can also shield minds so nobody can read or mind control us. She has never had to use that one, but it would be handy if it happened.

         I was starting to give up hope and stop the search, until Luke called us outside. One of his warriors handed him a pile of what looked like ash, and he examined it. "I think I got something. This ash is infused with chakra, meaning this was some form of jutsu that was used to attack".

          I took a small piece of the ash and looked closely at it. My eyes scanned the area around, before resting on the trees above us. They were burned slightly, looking as if someone made it rain fire. I shook my head, then watched as Adam ran up to us "Hey! I found something else!".

         I smiled and held out my hand as he placed a small crystal in my palm. I looked at him confused for a second, but then understood "This is also infused with chakra. So we are dealing with a fire and water type".

          Adam nodded "Yep, and also..." He held up a very small black hair and smiled "Someone dropped something when heading out".

I practically cried with happiness, but I squeezed him instead "Adam that's perfect! Great job everyone!".
