"MATE! MATE! MATE!"
I was so lost in his eyes that I didn't even hear him. I shake out of my daze and being the stupid person I am I start blabbing! "Oh hi! Sorry I didn't mean to stare. I'm Ringo by the way. Thanks for helping me with my lepored demon the other day. I only came to thank you now because I just woke up. I'm really thankful. So you're a Jinjuroki? So am I! The nine tail called me a princess the other day though... Don't know what that's about. You have really nice eyes. Anyway you hungry? I'm hungry! I'm gonna be off thanks!"
"What the actual fudge cake!?"
I've turned around and I'm preparing to leave, instead of stewing in my own embarrassment. Unfortunately, Gaara seems to not want me to since he grabs my shoulders and spins me around. The pure emotion in his eyes isn't something I think I have ever seen. This once again resulting in being lost in his beautiful sea foam eyes.
That's when he places one of his arms around my waist and pulls me close. He's so tall compared to me. My arms slowly rise as I rest my hands on his hard chest. His breath is warm against my cold face, making shivers run down my spine. His other hand reaches inside my hood and that is when I push him away. Turning back around I hug my waist.
Hearing a growl coming from behind I start to run away from him into the forest. Now that my brother is back I can finally go back in there. Soon enough I can feel vibrations of pounding footsteps on the ground, and pretty soon I hear a rumbling growl booing through the trees. Soon enough I am tackled to the ground and am now rolling down a hill of grass. Luckily enough I skid to a stop on my back before hitting a log. Sighing in relief I notice my hood came off, so I ignore the pain in my wrist. Unfortunately, I couldn't sit up fast enough before Gaara was straddling my waist supporting himself with his arms on either side of my head. One of his hands moves to my head and I realise what he's trying to do. I haven't had a chance to hide my ears, before he attacked me. I shut my eyestightly and start to cower under him. It seems he doesn't notice and starts to stroke my ear and plays with the hair on the left side of my face. I slowly open my eyes and he just stares at me in amazement and pure joy. Moving to the side of me he lifts me up into his lap and lifting me up. Shocked all I did was stare at him wide eyed frozen in place.
"Is your rist ok?" his voice horse. I'd melt if I wasn't in shock.
Blinking a few times I try moving my rist and wince in pain. So he sets me down by a nearby tree. Which isn't hard since there's so many. Examining my wrist brings out a strap cast to keep it in place.
"I'm sorry. This is my fault. Will you forgive me? Please."
A lone tear rolled down his cheek so after he wraped the cast on my injured wrist, I wipe the tear away with my healthy hand. My hand lingers, so he presses his face gently into it clossing his eyes in the process. He then sits beside me leaving my hand cold and longing. However, I am again engulfed by him, as he lifts me ontop of his lap and wraps his arms around me.
"Why do you hide your ears?" I forgot they were still out and that my hood was down so I pull it upland keep my head down. "I didn't say you could do that" my hood is ragged off my head and I notice Garra's eyes are now not his own. Infact I can feel his body shaking and his chakra increasing. It's the one tail, Shukaku. "Don't hide yourself from me! You are mine and mine alone and you will do as I say!"
My answer to this comes out a whimper but I will stand my ground! "No-o"
"Excuse me?!" I knew that this wasn't Gaara so I wouldn't hold it against him.
My voice becoming more confident I spoke "Didn't you hear me? I said no!" Now Yuno was about to take over, the stupid lepored. Her voice came through as u spoke. "I am your princess, the ruller of water and your mate, what ever that means. You will not order me around so easily!"
It seems that realisation hits him and he bows his head and then looks into my eyes "I am truly sorry m'lady"
"Give me back Gaara!"
"As you wish but first I'm sorry, the boy realised we are mates before I did. Until next time gorgeous" he winked at me with a.pervey and creepy grin. EWWWW! Seriously?! Garra's head now flops on me as he groanes, regaining consciousness.
Before he can say anything I intercept "Yuno wants me to mark you and you me. She doesn't want to wait but I'm confused on all if this. Do you mind explaining? Since Shukaku said you realised we are mates before he did."
"Only if you come out with me tonight?" the hope shines in his eyes. I can't leave him out to dry for work!
"Ok... You can pick me up today at 7 and then we'll talk." his grin was unbelievable. For someone that looks like he is completely straight faced all the time, he has an amazing smile.
After so
Ever awkwardness followed we went back home but our silence wasn't awkward and we walked hand in hand. When we reached the end of the trees he stopped me and asked "do you mind telling me your name? I still don't know it you see and..."
"It's Ringo. Ringo Hatake." I interrupted him because it sounded like he was about to start rammbelling like I did before.
"Ringo" he tried the name out on his tongue whilst looking at the thick canopy above us. "Hmm, I like it"
"Shall we go back to the village then?" I felt a bit awkward not talking.
"Uh, yeah. I'll take you to the hospital to check your wrist." Soon enough we are surrounded by sand and all of a sudden we are being lifters into the air. Only now do I realise that he's using his chakra sand to get us back faster.
As we approach the hospital we start to descend and I realise my hood is down so I pull it up before we land. That could've ended badly. Although I want to know how Gaara and I are mates. It couldn't be could it? I mean, come on we might both be Jinjurokis but you can feel the pure power radiating off of him. With me it's more of a... Hmm I don't even know how to describe it. I might ask Tsunade if I can become apart of the anbu black ops after all or just a Jounin. Anyway, even if Gaara and I are mates he's not gonna be back here for ages so it doesn't matter. Plus I have to concentrate on the investigation instead of my love life. Hold on... Love life?! Ha! I don't even have one so I don't understand what I'm worrying about!
I shake myself out of my daze and realise that the Sakura had fixed my wrist. Wow! I heared that she was Tsunade-sama's apprentice, but to be this good at her age?! She'll be a world class medical ninja in no time. Maybe she'll be better than Tsunade herself!
I thank her and get up to leave, but she stops me. "Ringo, before you leave. Gaara told me to tell you that he was leaving now so you won't see him for a while."
"Uh, thanks Sakura-chan"
"Oh and Tsunade told me to tell you something to do with the investigation."
My eyes go wide but I suspected that now Sakura might be a bit of a messenger. "Yes? What is it?" My back still turned away from her.
"Well Sauske has been kidnapped by Orochimaru and Naruto and some of the others went after him." She seems so sad. "Anyway, Naruto found him by the water fall that has something to do with the investigation and apart from Naruto and Sauske going full out at each other and Sauske leaving, nothing happened that has anything to do with the investigation. However, Naruto, Pervey sage and I went to look for Sauske and we were attacked."
"Is that all Sakura?" she seemed a bit out of breath.
"Yes that's all"
"Well then, I'll be off. Tell Tsunade that I'm going to get on with the investigation now that I'm at full health and tell her to send over the Jounin papers"
"Yes, of course" she seemed taken a back by this but I don't really care at the moment.
I have to figure this out before something happens. It looks like I can't take any breaks in piecing everything tonight. Oh well...
