Chapter 15: A Sandstorm in Konoha part 2



Naruto didn’t look up; he couldn’t bring himself to look up at all those demons, staring at him. It was intimidating. He kept his head bowed throughout the feast; he tried to make himself small and hide beside Sasuke’s larger frame. It didn’t stop the staring, the ogling and the glaring.



The chopsticks threatened to break in his hand.



The wolf youkai gave a reassuring squeeze, but it did little to console Naruto. He wasn’t used to all this attention, all these different demons, their scents mingling in the air, suffocating him. He knew he was shaking; his hands quivered so badly that he couldn’t keep any rice between the two pieces of wood. This was all starting to get to be too much.



“Naruto…” Sasuke whispered. He wasn’t ignorant to his mate’s fears, but at the same time he could not reassure him.



“Sasuke I can’t do this…” the blonde hissed back in a low tone.



“Naruto, this is a time for you to show that you are better than them. Your blood stems from a great demon, and I know what you can do with the strength that you have. So look up, hold your head up high, and show them that you are not afraid.”



Naruto gulped; he could do this, there was nothing to be afraid of. He wasn’t alone, Sasuke was with him, his new family and the wolf, just like he promised, had looked after him. There was nothing to be afraid of. Slowly he un-hunched his shoulders to straighten himself out, his blue eyes gradually raising themselves ‘til he finally met the gazes of the guests. One in particular caught his attention.



Foamy green eyes, almost blue, were looking back at him, not in hate or bewilderment, but something more akin to fascination. There was something rather familiar about that demon, but Naruto could not place it; he was sure that he had never met the raccoon demon before. However for some reason he felt like he should know him.



Sasuke noticed the slight interaction, and it made his blood boil; that demon had been staring at his mate more so than others, and it irritated him so badly that his tail bristled. He didn’t know who the red-haired Raccoon demon was, but he had no right to ogle his mate like that! He tried to ignore it and concentrate on his meal, but he could still feel that blasted raccoon’s gaze!



Itachi noticed his brother’s irritation, “What is it, Otouto?”



“Who is that demon?!” Sasuke asked.



Itachi followed his brother’s furious gaze; his own eyes widened. He instantly recognized the Kazekage and wondered what he was doing here. Those thoughts were quickly banished; it would be dangerous to meddle into the Kazekage’s business. “No one you should concern yourself with Sasuke, do not think about it.”



Sasuke huffed; he couldn’t stop fretting about it, so instead he glared back at the raccoon. Gaara noticed and glared right back, and this soon turned into a glaring match.



The meal ended disastrously in Naruto’s mind; sadly this whole affair wasn’t over yet.



After the feast it was time to move into the great hall where the guests finally had a chance to talk to the submissive. Naruto didn’t move an inch away from Sasuke. They were making polite conversation with another couple, or rather the boisterous blonde rabbit youkai was the one doing all the talking, while both his and her mate looked jaded. Not even he could keep up with the fast speech, and for a second he had to wonder if she was talking Japanese at all. Instead he nodded and gave a wry smile whenever she turned to direct her banter at him.



Sasuke on the other hand kept on looking around the room for the raccoon demon; he had lost sight of the other when they moved into the hall. He was only half listening to Ino’s ranting, occasionally nodding and giving his usual grunt of ‘hn’ when he thought it was necessary. That is until she said something that fully caught his attention.



“…and on the way here we met a raccoon demon…”



“You know him?” Sasuke butted in.



Ino was surprised at Sasuke’s sudden outburst, but nodded as a reply. “Hai, he said he was related to Naruto.”



Sasuke frowned, now he was even more suspicious of that demon. Naruto had no relatives, so who was he, pretending to know his mate? The young ookami growled out and strode away in search for the raccoon, leaving Naruto behind. Ino looked confused and turned back to look at the Kitsune. “What’s with him?” she asked.



Her mate sighed. “Troublesome… don’t think about it, Koi,” Shikamaru said, and regarded the nervous fox in front of him. Naruto was uncomfortable being alone with these demons; they seemed nice enough, but he didn’t know how they would act now that Sasuke wasn’t here to keep an eye on them.



The deer youkai noticed the fox’s apprehension and tried to encourage the blonde. “Hey, don’t worry about him,” said Shikamaru, referring to Sasuke. “Sometimes he acts like something crawled up his butt and died there, but really he’s a good guy.”



Naruto gave a weak smile and nodded. “I know that.”



“So how are things between you two? He treats you nicely, yes?” Ino asked, full of curiosity.



“Well, yes.”



“Provides, comforts and takes care of your ‘other’ needs, right?” she hinted with raised eyebrows.



Naruto blushed at the implication of her words and started sputtering madly. “I-I-well… I don’t-”



Ino giggled, only stopping when her mate elbowed her. “Hey, don’t do that!” he hissed.



“Can’t be helped, look how cute he looks all blushy like that!” she squealed.



Reddish eyes watched the blonde angrily; that fox was taking away all that should have belonged to her. She was meant to be the next Uchiha for Kami’s sake, not that grotesque fox! Ugly thing! Nothing but a gold-digger out for the name! How dare the submissive stand there looking like some blushing virgin. No right, that thing hadno right at all to take away what was rightfully hers!



Karin gritted her teeth together; ever since she had met the Kitsune she had been unsettled. A submissive that had come out of nowhere and stolen her precious Sasuke-kun away from her, it made her furious. But now the fox was alone, and she would confront the damn thing!



Briskly as she could in her kimono she walked towards the fox and tapped him on the shoulder. As soon as the blonde turned around she raised her hand and slapped him across the face. The resounding slap echoed through the room and the hall was quiet; everyone was looking over to them now. But Karin didn’t care; she was satisfied to see such a shocked gaze on the Kitsune’s face, and blood dripping from the side of his cheek where her nails had dug in. The scared look in his eyes, and this feeble thing was worthy of bearing the name of an Uchiha?! HA! Laughable.



However, that small victory wasn’t long lived. She felt a flare of chakra behind her, the blood-lust radiating in the air. She shivered and hoped it wasn’t Sasuke.



“That certainly was a mistake on your part, wench.” That wasn’t Sasuke, she thought, and the confidence slipped back.



She turned around. “And who are you to-” but the words died in her throat, literally. Something was squeezing her neck, asphyxiating her, grainy in texture but as strong and hard as steel.



She released a choking gasp and looked down at the person who had captured her. He was a small demon, but the power he radiated was staggering. His red hair seemed to flare with all the chakra flowing through him, teal eyes narrowed at her. The gourd on the small demon’s back was open and sand poured out of it and around her neck. Karin tried clawing at it, anything to get rid of the obstruction, but it only tightened, almost hard enough to snap her neck. The need for air was starting to get desperate and her eyes started rolling up…



“STOP!”



Gaara looked away, and stared at the person behind his target; his half-brother stood, staring defiantly at him. Although the way his body quivered gave away how scared he really was.



“Put her down, please!” he asked.



Gaara frowned; he ignored the gurgling sounds she was making and shook her body like a rag-doll. “You want me to let her go after what she did to you? Others have died for far lesser crimes,” he said with a monotonous voice.



Naruto gulped. “Shinai de kudasai,” (Please don’t do this) he whimpered.



Gaara kept on staring; no matter how afraid the blonde Kitsune was he still had guts standing up to him. Gaara knew what kind of malice he was radiating. Most demons would run away with their tail tucked between their legs. He snorted, the sand retreated and Karin dropped to the ground like a dead-weight. Naruto sighed out in relief, but now it seemed like he had something more dangerous to deal with. This demon had been watching him so intently since the feast, and he was not comfortable being so close to him right now.



“What’s going on here?!”



Naruto turned to see Sasuke making his way through the crowd; he was relieved to see his mate. Sasuke spotted Naruto and the cut on his cheek. “Who did that to you?” he asked and rushed over to the blonde to inspect him. Then he noticed Karin passed out on the ground. The dried blood under her fingernails told him everything.



A growl ripped through his throat; he was going to kill that bitch! He was going to crush her head! It would have been so easy too with her laying on the ground like that. Naruto on the other hand sensed the anger coming off his mate and quickly intervened; he hadn’t risked his life for her before only for her to die again.



“Sasuke don’t do this, let her be; it was only a scratch, see, it’s already gone,” he said, showing Sasuke his cheek, and Naruto was right. All that was left now was a trail of dried blood.



The wolf growled. “And you are willing to let her get away with this transgression?!” he questioned.



“I’ve been through worse Sasuke, it doesn’t bother me,” he pleaded, pulling his mate away from her prone form.



Gaara decided to try and pacify the situation. “Your mate is right wolf; the matter has already been dealt with.” By now the other Uchihas had also come to see what had happened. They were surprised to see the sight in front of them. One of them called a servant to check over Karin.



Sasuke frowned, then growled; his red eyes were now trained on the Raccoon. “You!” he shouted. “I had been searching for you all this time, why are you pretending to be related to my mate?!” he barked at the raccoon, making sure that Naruto was safely behind him.



Gaara frowned; this brat was starting to irritate him. Did the wolf have no manners for his elders? No matter, the Ookami would soon learn his place. “My name is Shukaku Gaara, I’m the Kazekage of Suna, crown prince to Oashisu, and he,” Gaara said, pointing at Naruto.



“Is my brother.”



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



Gaara sure knows how to make an entrance.



How will Naruto handle the news? How will the Uchiha’s take it? Am I starting to make this fic into a Soap Opera?
