Naruto: Dreams Unraveled

Feelings of Unknown

I originally didn't want to add any music into this song, but I had forgot that I had a put a song in here originally. So, for those people who like to hear the song, it is posted above.

I couldn't find the full song anywhere, so I just used the Inuyasha ending (plus it's shorter than the full song).

Song: Every Heart

Artist: BoA

Thanks for reading!! Hope you guys enjoy :)

------------------------------------------

After checking Takashi out of the hospital, we checked into a hotel and got settled in for the night. I had left with baby supplies from the hospital so I could take care of Takashi for his first few days. The day we left back for Suna was the day he got put into a temporary foster home.

After Kisuka's funeral, I had tried to talk Tsunade into letting me take him back to Suna with me but she wouldn't have it, most likely like the Suna council. I was 'a kinouchi with a very bright future, considering my ranking as a ninja.' I also remembered that I would have time to be a mother when I became twenty... I was still thanking my father for that one. But still, better Gaara than some stranger; thank goodness.

I was laying on my bed, stomach down and the baby under my chest and protected by my arms. He was quite the wiggle worm and I was quite surprised he hadn't cried yet. My door opened as the scent of water jasmine crossed my nose: Temari.

"How is he?" "Wiggling away," I replied with a smile, "Where are the boys?" Temari gave a smile back, "Kankuro is about to go shopping with me and Gaara is sitting in the kitchen." My feet were kicking back and forth leisurely as I replied back to her, looking down at the little boy, "Well, why don't you send Gaara in. He doesn't need to sit alone in there. I need to talk to him anyway." "Alright, I'll let him know. We'll be back in a bit," She waved, leaving the room.

It was a few more minutes till I heard the front door slam and footsteps entering my room that I shared with Temari. "You needed me?" his low voice whispered as he stopped at the door, leaning against the frame. I giggled a little, "You can come in, Gaara, baby's don't bite." He was hesitant, but he eventually came and took a seat beside me, taking the chance to gaze at the child again.

"What do you think about him?" I was curious. "Well," Gaara started, "it's so small and looks so fragile." I smiled, "Yeah, babies start off pretty fragile, but they get stronger as the days pass." It was quiet for a few moments while Gaara continued to study the child.

I then spoke up, "Um, Gaara?" "What is it?" He turned to me. "I know I didn't tell you this before, but I need to tell you now, sense your my fiancé and what not... I'm Takashi's godmother. So... Kisuka... wants me to take him in when he turns five and return him to the Leaf when he turns twelve... we'll be getting married in that time. So I guess my question is, would you be willing to take him in when the time comes?"

I was looking down at the baby while I asked this... marriage was still a ways away. But when you're twelve yourself, it was still a touchy subject. Not only that, but I was scared of Gaara's answer. What if he refused my sensei's last wishes? He was quiet for a few minutes before he asked, "Like a father?"

The question took me a little bit off guard, but it made sense. "Well, I guess so. He'll probably see me as his mother if you let me take him in... so if we do, it's possible he will see you as a father one day," I rambled. "What do you mean 'if I let you'? It's your sensei's dying wish," He bluntly replied. I let a giggle escape before I answered, "Yes it is, but being married means it's not only my decision. It will be yours too. And I just want to make sure if you'll be ok with it."
