The Guardian Angel (Naruto Fan fiction)

10.

Alexandra's/Manami's POV

It seems that ever since that little incident a couple days ago we've been closer than ever.

I was leaving in a couple days and Gaara and I have been hanging out as much as we can.

Speaking of which, we are hanging out right now.

"So, can I meet them?" Gaara asked me, looking adorable while asking if I may say so.

"Yea, they're not exactly evil but they are powerful so yea, do you want to meet them right now?" I looked at him.

"Sure."

And with that I summoned Tenshi and Akuma.

(Akuma will have bold lettering and Tenshi will have italics)

"What's up dude?" Tenshi elbowed her in the gut.

"Hey, how may I be of help to you?" Akuma glared at her.

"Bitch. Really? Was it really necessary? How about I hurt you everytime you do or say something stupid!? Huh!? Wanna go goody two shoes!?"

And just like that, the two friends started arguing. I sweat dropped.

"Guys shut up! We've got company you idiots!!" I announce heatedly. They stopped talking and noticed Gaara.

"Ooh, girl, don't look right now but hottie alert behind you" She said as she winked at me. I glared at her.

"Akuma, you stupid ass, if you were listening to me, you would've known that I know he's behind me!! I'm trying to introduce you, you nitwit!!"

Gaara's POV

They're pretty odd.. Aren't they?

"Guys shut up, we've got company you idiots!!!" Manami yelled at them looking kind of angry. I haven't seen her angry before. I wonder if she's scary like me?

Then, all talking ceased as the spirits stared at me finally noticing my presence.

The one with the purple hair nudged Manami and whispered to her as if I couldn't hear her.

"Ooh, girl, don't look right now but hottie alert behind you"

My face felt like it was on fire. Why did it feel like that? Am I sick?

"Akuma, you stupid ass, if you were listening to me, you would've known that I know he's behind me!! I'm trying to introduce you you nitwit!!" Manami retorted. Her eye twitched.

My eyes widen in surprise for two reasons. One; she cussed. Two; she didn't counter her friends words.

Now that I think about it, what does she think of me. I know she doesn't think I'm a monster but then, what does she think of me?

Does she see me as a friend? Just someone to hang out with? What?

Alexandra's/Manami's POV

Meanwhile I was arguing with Akuma, I noticed Gaara looking thoughtful.

"What's wrong Gaara-kun? Does something hurt? Did my friend upset you? Should I slap her? I don't mind-" I started but he cut me off.

"What do you think of me?"

I blinked twice. 'Uhhh, what? Where did that come from? It was Amelia wasn't it? -_- I'm going to slap her'

"What do you mean?" I asked, afraid he was asking if I thought he was a monster again.

"What do you think of me? Are we.. Friends?" he replied calmly yet innocently.

............ Kawaii (╥﹏╥)

"I've already told you this before Gaara-kun!! Of course we're friends!! Why do you ask?" I asked him completely confused.

He stared for what seemed an eternity. Finally, he spoke and said the words that would forever depress me for the choices I have to make.

"If we are friends.. Friends stick together right? Then why are you leaving me?"

My world shattered.

"Gaara..." I started. I didn't know how to answer him without hurting him further.

I sighed. "Y'know how I've said I have certain powers that show me to see a possible future?" he nodded.

"Well, as I've said before, I need recruits. Help. If I don't, the possible future I see could come to pass. Which if it does, it will turn into a Shinobi World War." I explained.

"But, in order for this to happen, I need you here. We will see each other real soon. I promise. Chunnin exams. And if you join my alliance, sooner." I informed him hoping he'd join me. By now Akuma and Tenshi had disappeared.

He looked so thoughtful.

"I'll join." He said quietly. I was so happy I could have cried. I grinned and glomped him rubbing my cheek with his.

"You're so cute!! Gaara-kun I have decided. Before I leave, we must come up with nicknames. Ones that only we can call each other."

He looked at me as if I had grown another set of heads. "Why?" was all he asked.

"Cause we're friends silly! The best of friends!! And because I said so!" I said in a as-a-matter-of-fact tone.

He rolled his eyes but agreed nonetheless. And that's how we spent the rest of our days left together.

Then the day I really dreaded came. The day I had to leave Suna.

As I stood in front of the gates I was mentally preparing myself for the sappy farewells I was going to go through.

I turned around and the first to tackle me into a hug was, believe it or not, Kankuro. We crossed paths a couple of times before and we actually hit it off. 3 words.. New big brother.

Next was Temari who was smiling at me motherly. Unlike her siblings, Temari was very motherly towards me. She reminded me of my mom back home. I don't remember much about her but I know Temari acts like her. It's nice.

She hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear. "Please be safe. I don't want to hear that this world's brightest light has dimmed. Alright?"

I gave her a tiny smile and whispered back to her. "I promise to try my damn hardest." She laughed and let me go. Next was my dearest Gaara-kun. As I stood in front of him I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye.

"I-I guess this is it then..." I slightly stuttered. Then it happened. He hugged me. He hugged me.

"I'll miss you... Imouto." he said looking down embarrassed. Lol let me explain. We couldn't come up with nicknames for each other so we went for siblings.

I giggled and replied. "And I you Aniki" I grinned at him like an idiot.

I hugged him one last time and turned. As I walked away, once again, I wouldn't look back knowing I'd regret it.

'This quest will be harder than I thought if this is what's going to happen everytime I leave a place. But it's so worth it.'
