Chapter 4 - My Story

I snapped my eyes open and realised I was in a hospital room. I looked out the window to see a barren desert and I realised I was in Suna meaning that the squad found me before the enemy did. I smiled and looked at my shoulder which was healed thanks to the medic-nins that worked here. I quickly swung my legs over the side of the bed and grabbed my clothes off of the table in the corner and then groaned when I realised I had to get a new one due to the large whole in it. I quickly slipped out of the hospital clothes and into my own before strapping on my katana and exiting through the window.

I landed on the ground with a soft thud before heading towards the squads chakra signatures that seemed to be in the centre of the village. I turned my head around, making sure to remember all the buildings before arriving at a tower that I presumed was the Kazekages seeing as it stuck out from everything else. I quickly entered the building and climbed up a short flight of stairs to the second level before walking to the end of the hall where I found a large door that probably led to the Kazekages office. I gave a quick knock before turning the handle and walking in only to see my team standing in front of a red-haired man's desk, "Miwako!" Hiroshi shouted and tackled me into a hug, catching me by surprise,

"Please get off me Hiroshi," I said in an irritated voice and he quickly did since he didn't want to face my wrath not that anyone would survive it. I then bowed to the Kazekage before joining the line that my team made in front of his desk. We waited for the Kazekage to finish thinking about whatever he was thinking about until he turned to me,

"You're the one that took out the 20 Iwa shinobi right?" He asked and I nodded my head slowly, worried since I have no idea what he's getting at, "I was wondering if you could stay with my son Gaara for a bit," He said and I looked surprised,

"Sure I guess," I said and he smiled before getting one of his Jonin to escort me to his house in the outer areas of Suna. I followed the man down a series of unused alleyways before we arrived at a large house that seemed to radiate power. I was then shocked when two kids about my age, possibly older, appeared in front of the house with questioning looks on their faces,

"Hideki, why did you bring her here?" The girl asked looking at the shinobi behind me and he then looked towards me, indirectly asking me to answer,

"Lord Kazekage sent me," I replied bluntly and the two kids dismissed Hideki before dragging me inside the house. I looked around, gazing at all the expensive artworks that hung from the walls and the spacious rooms that were about the size of my apartment. The two kids then turned to me a serious look on their faces,

"My name is Temari and that is my idiotic brother Kankuro, by the way Hideki reacted to me asking that question it would seem that you are here to see Gaara," The girl said and I nodded my head slowly, "Just as I thought. Now be careful when dealing with Gaara, one wrong move and you'll be either dead or dying," She continued and I nodded before she led me down the hall towards a huge door. She then knocked on the door, opened it and pushed me in making me fall on my butt. I quickly stood up and found myself face to face with a red-headed boy with the kanji for love on his forehead,

"Who are you?" The boy growled and I sighed, there goes the friendly part of this first meeting,

"Onoe Miwako and I'm guessing you're Gaara," I said and he nodded before turning around and walking towards the window. I sighed and started to walk towards him when I felt a presence that I haven't felt in years. A presence that generally meant something bad was going to happen. The presence of the One-Tailed Sand Spirit Shukaku. I continued walking towards him and tapped him on the shoulder when I was an arms length away making him turn around to face me, an aggressive look on his face.

"What do you want?" He growled and I looked at  him, sympathy in my eyes,

"Shukaku is an asshole isn't he?" I asked and Gaara looked at me shocked,
