The Love For One (Kankuro X Reader)

Strange feeling

It's been a couple days since I've gotten back from the mission to go retrieve Sasuke and all I have done was stay inside my apartment. I knew I had to get back out into the world but it was hard to know what the hokage is going to do with me now. I haven't moved from my bed for the last 4 hours. Its around 10 o'clock I groan knowing I need to get up and eat something. A soft knock came from my door. I sat up slowly and looked at the door hoping whomever it was they would leave. All hope left when the person knocked again. I crawled out of bed and slowly went over to the door and looked out the peep-hole. "What do you want?" I asked Sakura as I opened the door. "We just got back from another mission and I wanted to grab some lunch with you. My treat." She said as she looked a little hurt. "I'm not to sure if I'm even aloud out of my apartment right now, plus you lied to me the last time we went on a mission and I don't like being lied too." I replied as I went to close my door. "Please, I can talk to Tsunade if she gets mad about you be out and about." She pleaded with me. I walked away from the door and let it stay open as I said "I need to get ready then.". She hurried in and closed the door as I went to get ready. Once I was ready I went out and saw Sakura looking around. "May I help you with your search for something?" I laughed out as she stood up straight. "It's just its seems so cold in here like its a hotel for you." She shuddered out. "It kinda is. I'm hardly here. I'm always out on mission so there isn't really any need for me to decorate. Just food and drinks is all I really need." I responded as I put my shoes on letting her know I'm ready to go.

We made it to the BBQ place, I would have thought she would take me to the ramen place but I guess not. "This last mission was something else." She sighed a relief once we got our drinks. "What happened?" I asked kinda regretting asking. I like Sakura she nice and all but sometimes she just frustrating. "We had to bring back one of the monks but I don't even know why we had to. They just wanted to get rid of him because they all believe he is a monster." She said. "Sakura." I said as she went silent. "There something weird in the air. Did anyone follow you guys back?" I asked as a strange surge of energy was all over the restaurant. "No, why do you ask?" She questioned me. "Something just seems off. Anyways why did you really want o have lunch with me? Was it just to complain about Naruto?" I asked slightly annoyed. "I don't always complain about him I have a life without him being around." she retorted knowing most of the time she is complaining about him. She looked at me arm "Does it still hurt?" she asked after a while. I took my arm out of the sleave and showed her the light faded scar that was now there from Naruto. "It stings a little but its still healing. Being hit by one of the tail of the nine tails takes a while for you to heal. I will be okay." I said as I slid my arm back into the sleave. "Why do you have to stay locked up in your apartment." She asked wanting more answers then I can tell her. "I can not disclose that to you." I said with longing in my voice wanting her too know wanting some one to share is burden with. The only one close that would know would be Kankuro but even then he just has the surface. I soon felt eyes on me. "I guess we got to end lunch now." I said and she looked very confused as Kakashi walked over to our table. "What are you guys doing." He asked lazily. I rolled my eyes "I'm heading back home now. Sakura wanted to grab lunch with me." I responded as I pulled some money out of my pocket. "Don't be mad at her she told me she needed to stay and I forced her to come out." Sakura came to my defense. "Sakura, you need to leave her be for now. I told you this before you went to her." Kakashi said as he walked behind me on the way out of the restaurant.

As we walked I watched the cloud with a bad feeling growing in my stomach. "Kakashi, something bad is going to happen tonight. I have a feeling its going too be something with the nine tails." I said as the growing tension in the air grew. "There is nothing to worry about if anything happens Naruto will handle himself." He said as he felt the tension as well. I sighed as we continued towards my apartment. "You know if you have told us sooner then us rather finding out you wouldn't have been put under house arrest." He said as we made it the apartment complex. "What would have been done then? If I told someone? Would I have been put in a cell to rot? I took the one most powerful kekkei genkai in the village and I would be able to walk free?" I retorted towards him knowing he wouldn't have an answer. I sighed "What is done has been done. Let it rest and we will go from here.". I walked up the long staircase to my apartment. After going in I went and laid on the bed. Staring up at the celling I mumbled out "I miss Kankuro."

Kankuro point

I was pleading with Gaara for the last week to go see (Y/N). I had a feeling that today he will let me have a week off to go see her. I walked to halls to the office . I opened the door slowly after hearing Tamari voice. "He is going to ask again and you can't really hold this information from him. Plus knowing him He would just take a week off and head there anyways.". Gaara eyes were already on me when she was speaking. "What is she talking about?" I asked as I walked further into the office. I sigh escape Gaara as he spoke "(Y/N) has been placed under house arrest. Even if I did let you go see her, you wouldn't be able to.". House arrest what for she would never betray them. Anger took over my body after hearing that. "Shikamaru sent me a letter and said that the hokage is really mad at her. She most have done something really bad." Tamari added not calming my anger. Remembering what she said the last time she was here 'I have to get permission to move if I do not then they treat me like a treat to them.'. "Did he say what she did?" I asked wanting to know more but already knew the answer to it. "No." She responded. I grit my teeth knowing it would be pointless to even try to figure it out. "Once she has been release from the house arrest I will let you go see her.
