Fire style: Burning Love Jutsu

Chapter 27: Unneeded if you said yes.

"You selfish asshole." I said, glaring at him. "The one person in your life that actually wants something good to happen for you and you push it away because you want to screw her!?" I shouted. I charged at him and punched him right in the jaw. "How do you know that's the only reason I'm interested in her!?" He shouted at me, grabbing me and throwing me outside.

"Kankuro!" I heard Azamuku cry. "Because! You didn't show any interest until temari said who she was! And even then, you practically undressed her with your eyes!" I shouted, tackling him out the air as he jumped at me. "Stop it!" I heard someone scream. "So what! She shouldn't even be with you! I'm better for her!" He shouted at me, punching me in the stomach. "You're useless to her!" I began, grabbing him and throwing him over the gates to the village.

"All you'll do is toy with her until someone else comes along!" I said, landing a punch to his stomach. "Like you won't!? You're still a kid!" He shouted. "And you're fighting this kid. So I guess that makes you one too." I taunted, charging at him. Kankuro pulled something off his back. "No..." I heard someone faintly say. "Stop it!!!! Kankuro!" Azamuku screamed. "You're a pain in my ass." He said. The bandages falling. What the hell is that!?

"I! SAID! STOP!!!!!" Azamuku screamed as she slammed on the ground between us, causing a cloud of dust and sand to rise. Her shadow rose to her feet, her posture intimidating. Something was off. When the dust settled, she was standing in between us, the right half of her body covered in back inky markings that began at her neck. "What the hell is all over her!?" Temari asked, catching up. "No one make any sudden moves that will piss her off more." I said, softly. "What is that...?" She asked again, scared. "It's her seal. That's what it looks like in the first stage." I said. She looked over her shoulder at us. Temari squeaked and hid behind Gaara and me.

"What the hell is that!? Knock it off, Muku!" Kankuro shouted at her. "Kankuro. Stop." Gaara ordered. Her eyes darted towards Kankuro who grew pale and quickly obeyed. "I will not allow this to go on any more." She began walking towards him. "You are my brother! I will never see you as more than that!" She said, Kankuro crouching down. I could almost see him shivering in fear. She grabbed him by his collar and hoisted him into the air.

"Get it through your head now. Because if this happens again..." I heard her say. Gaara's mouth moved as she spoke her final words. "I will kill you." Gaara said simultaneously, their voices intermingling like a haunting melody. "Do you understand me?" She growled. "Y-Yes. I'm sorry. I'll stop." He said, fear blanketing his words. "Good." She said, dropping him then turning towards us. "Muku. Calm down. You can't let this thing control you." I began as I started walking towards her.

"Sasuke. Be careful." I heard Temari say. "I know what I'm doing." I said, waving her off. "I know you're scared and this thing is wanting you to kill. You can't let it. You're better than that." I said. I tapped into her head to see what she saw. She was still there, she could see me but she was struggling to fight it off. "Listen to me. I know you're there. Fight it. Think of your brother. Gaara. Think of everyone back in Konaha. Remember who you are and who loves you." I said. The markings began to fade. "That's it. If I can do it, I know you can. Don't let this be your end." I said.

The markings retreated into her seal as she fell to her knees and began to cry. Suddenly every emotion I felt from her was replaced by fear. I ran to her and hugged her. "Shh. It's alright. I'm here. We all are." I said. She held onto me and slowed her crying. "I love you." I said. It shocked even me to hear those words come out of my mouth. I lifted her chin and placed my lips on hers, closing my eyes and enjoying the moment. "Gaara. No. Let them. He's being innocent." I heard Temari say. I pulled back, breaking the kiss and ran my thumb over her lips.
