Changing Fates

Because I Trust You.

*Naruko's pov*
-recap-
When I arrived outside of Sunagakure I changed really quick and walked to the gates.

"Halt. Who goes there?" A guard asks.

"Oh, I'm sorry to scare you. Uhm, I have a message for the Kazakage. Could you direct me to his office?" I ask in the kindest voice I can. I bat my eyelashes and force myself to blush.

"I have to pat you down first. Do you have any weapons on you?" He asks. I nod.

"I have one kunai to protect me from bandits. But I'm not a ninja, I don't have the skill." I says looking him in the eyes and frowning. He nods and pats me down to be safe. Only finding one Kunai he lets me keep it. Which in his case is stupid but whatever.

"Follow me." He says showing me the way.
-end recap-

As I followed the guard I noticed some ninja from other villages. I furrowed my eyebrow confused and asked the guard.

"Uhm, excuse me sir?" He glances back at me and nods. "Why are there ninja from other villages? I thought The Big Five villages were having problems." I said confused.

"We're co-hosting the Chunin Exams with Konohagakure." He says plainly. "Here we are. Stay here until told to come in." I nod and stand waiting to be told to come in . I look around curiously. "You can come in now." I walk in swiftly. A small smile gracing my lips and my eyes holding innocence. I bow to the Kazakage.

"You're dismissed now." A cold, familiar voice calls. I don't move as I wait to be told to stand. "Stand." I stand up straight to meet Gaara's face in the Kazakage clothing. Kankurō on his left and Temari on his right.

"Who are you?" Temari asks. I look around carefully trying not to cry.

"I...Uh.... wow I didn't think about what to say before coming here... I didn't know you were Kazakage, Gaara." I say lightly.

"Who are you?" Kankurō asks glaring.

"Fate." I say looking Gaara in the eyes. His eyes widen and he stand up. He walks towards me quickly and grips my chin.

"Naruko?" He asks surprised. I nod and lift my hand up releasing the transformation.

"Hi Gaara." I smile.

"We thought you were dead! Everyone thought you were dead! Where have you been?!" Temari yells grabbing my shirt.

"Eh? I can't tell you any of that. You just have to trust me." I smile.

"And why should we trust you? For all we know you could be here to help the Akatsuki." Kankurō glares harshly. I glare back.

"Tch. Why would I help them? They already took Kurama from me. Tch, I nearly died a little over a month ago." I say seriously. Gaara looks me in the eyes.

"I see." He nods. "You've found out about the Oracle?" He asks going to his desk and grabbing something.

"Huh? You know about the oracle? I only found out today. Or we'll I don't know actually. I was meditating for a while." I say scratching the back of my neck sheepishly.

"Yeah. As the Kazakage I have to know things like that. Though Shukaku did help-sorta- enlighten me. I also found this." He hands me a scroll. I look over it amazed.

"Hah. Thanks. Now, I have a favor to ask." I say smiling.

"And that is?" He asks curiously.

"Don't tell anyone I'm alive... there are things I have to do before I can come back to everyone." I say seriously. A tinge of sadness wells up in me.
