Gaara's Daughter (Gaara's Romance #2) (Naruto/Boruto FanFic)

I'm Your Father

The moment she stepped into the chamber, light cut into Shamo's eyes, and she had to screw them up, but once she opened them again, she saw everything clearly...

There were Temari, four sand ninjas, and two tall men in the room. One of them was standing and leaning on the table, looking down at a map and pointing something on it to the other man, who was himself sitting at the table.

The standing guy was dressed in all black, and had his face painted with strange red lines which made him ugly.

The second man was dressed more formally and classically, and had his red hair beautifully combed. His eyes were the same as Shamo's - green, and with black rings around... and he had a strange sign on his forehead - the hieroglyph for 'love' - 愛 ( Ai ).

The other cousins stepped in too, following Shamo. They all looked at the two men, and widened eyes.

"Hey, Mekano, doesn't that guy look just like our Shamo?" Kaen whispered to his elder cousin, pointing on the sitting man.

"No, he's uglier," Mekano whispered back.

Hearing this, Kaen couldn't help but chuckle.

Meanwhile, the men didn't even see the entered kids, they were still staring at the map and conversing.

"You see, their last hideout was spotted here, but when my group and I arrived there, it was all gone... Seems like they don't leave any trace behind," the black-clothed man told the other one, pointing him on a certain location on the map.

"Are you sure? Did you double-check? There should have been some clues..." the red-haired man fell in his thoughts.

"No I did_"

"Hey, you two, would you mind at least greeting your guests?! Where are your manners?!" Temari got angry at them.

The men startled and looked at her confusedly. Then the black-clothed man glanced at the children and widened eyes:

"Oh, they've already entered, eh?" and he grinned welcomingly, "Hello there, kids!"

Shamo was confused. She got awed seeing that their entrance had caused all this disturbance, so she slightly bowed and apologised:

"We're sorry for the intrusion, sirs. We just... we had a request to Lord Kazekage... It won't take long..." she innocently beamed.

"Sure, sure," the black-clothed man chuckled, and poked the red-haired man, "Hey, Gaara, kids want you. Pay heed to them, would you?"

Gaara, who was still confused and stupefied to be so suddenly interrupted, firstly glanced at the black-clothed man, Kankuro, and then looked at the children, freezing on place - that girl!

He was staring at Shamo, who watched him awedly, being abashed.

She looked so familiar...

And those green eyes... with black rings around... just like... just like his own!

But no, she actually had eyebrows.

He then felt awkward having this kind of thoughts.

"Man you're a Kazekage, tell them something. These guys came all the way to see you," Kankuro poked him again.

Gaara awoke and mumbled.

"Yeah... I'm listening..."

"And that's all?" Kankuro chuckled. "Oh goodness..."

But Shamo, on the other hand, found it sufficient.

"Excuse us, Lord Kazekage, we didn't mean to disturb you, but..." she looked down, as if hesitating, but then she directly spoke: "My little cousin, Kaen, told Lady Temari earlier that we were tourists... Now we must admit it is actually not true..."
