Naruto: Dreams Unraveled

Cats and Parents

Sense I was under the protection of the Kazekage, I was staying with his children... Temari, Kankuro, and his youngest son, my fiancé, Gaara.

They had their own house sense the council didn't want Gaara within the Kazekage building. This left them with an extra room their father never came home to... so now it was deemed mine. The walk there was silent, but once we got there Temari would not shut up as she gave me a tour around the house. Once we finally got to my room she let me be to unpack and get settled in.

Once she had shut my door I took a good look at my new room. It surprised me how big it was. In the center of the room, there was a bed with a maroon comforter and black sheets, above it was a sheer black canopy that hung from the ceiling. Next to the bed on the left and right, were nightstands with a maroon lamp each. Closer to the right nightstand was a bookshelf that didn't hold any books... I could fix that. Looking right, there were double doors that led to a balcony outside, hung of course with black curtains. On the left side of my room, nearest to me was a walk-in closet, no cloths yet, but I could fix that too. Further down from the closet, there was the bathroom... a large bathroom at that.

Walking to the door of the bathroom, I found a large square tub on my left, a large sink and counter top in front of me, with a mirror hanging all the way across to some cabinets, on my right, that reached up to the ceiling, most likely where towels were stored. The toilet was next as then there was also the glass encased shower. Turning back to face my room, I found drawers on the wall were the door leading in and out was, along with a desk and maroon cushioned chair. It was all really nice compared to my old room. Heck! My room was a possibly a forth of this! The bathroom I shared with Naruto was definitely a third of the one I have now. Hell! Our apartment could have been the size of my new room!

I started unpacking, putting away my ninja attire. But once I glanced at my attire, I realized it might have been in need of a change. It was all for a bit cooler weather... I would go looking for something tomorrow. I then unpacked my ninja tools, and hid them in various places throughout the room... You could never be too careful. While putting away my things, I happened to place my old team photo on my nightstand. I felt a little homesick. But I continued on, putting things away... after, of course, I folded the corner of the photo that had Uchiha in it.

Once everything was neatly put away, I headed to hop into the shower. Stepping in, I let it cool me off, then eventually warm me... it felt nice. After washing my hair and rinsing off, I hopped out and got dressed into some relaxing cloths. The desert would be getting cold soon. I slipped into my baggy navy blue sweat pants and pulled on a blue tank top to match my eyes and a cropped, baggy short sleeve yellow top over my tank, just hanging off my left shoulder. I didn't bother wearing any shoes. I dried my hair via wind style, as usual, and then went to put it up in its signature ponytail.

But at that exact moment, a large cloud of smoke 'poofed' into my room. I ran quickly to my balcony doors, forgetting about my hair, as I opened them letting the cloud out. I was about to get on someone's case before I turned around and let out a surprised scream, falling back on my butt. But I took a minute as I then laughed. Before me stood one of my summonings; a giant black panther.

Temari was through my door in a matter of minutes as I put my hair up, "What happened? Are you al-" At that moment she screamed too, calling for Gaara. As soon as he appeared I jumped in between him and my very large cat, "Wait! He's one of my summoning animals! He did a reverse summoning which just surprised me that's all." Gaara relaxed as I let out a soft laugh turning to my dark kitty, "What's up, Akumu? Last time I saw you, you were the size of Kazabana." The panther was almost up to the ceiling, but then again he was sitting down... so he was really bigger than the size of my new room.
