Chapter 3
The Love Of Leaf of Sand
Chapter 3
A/N: Hey all I have returned even with this fic. It seems you guys are waiting patiently for this. I hope you guys like this chapter. I hope I live up to your expectations. Well guys I hope you all like it. Peace out.
Sighing gently, the red headed girl sat on the bed she had in her hotel room. It had the colors of Sunagakure. In there, it was a pale sandy color with a light red coloring on the furniture in the room. The Bed she sat on had a red sheet with a deep black sunagakure symbol in the middle. She was sitting in the middle of the bed with her arms crossed and sitting Indian style. She was comfortable in nothing more than a pale blue thong and a powder blue bra. It felt good on her skin as the breeze blew in from her window. It was different for her to be so dressed down. That was the good thing about being in Konoha. In Suna, she always had to deal with the horrid Sand storms that made her have to dress heavy even in the hottest day.
"I wonder...Where Naruto is...I heard from the Hokage that he went off with the blue haired bimbo for a spar and training."
She sighed as she rose from the bed. It hurt her heart. She knew Naruto cared about the blue haired girl as well as the pink haired banshee that was his other team mate, but it hurt her heart badly when she thought about the possibility of her losing him to either of them.
"I have to show him...I have to prove to him...That I am worth his love...Love, listen to me...Mother...What should I do...?"
As she asked that question, her sand hissed and burbled at her and Gaara nodded. She knew she had to make Naruto see her as someone he could love.
"You're right, mother. We can make him understand."
She then smiled and did the one thing her sister would be proud of. She looked at her clothes, grabbed the black lace thong and bra, looked, and smirked. She grabbed her tight pants and her shirt that had the fish net neck. She hated being so small busted. Flat was the better word. Her sister Temari was a C cup and here she was a nonexistent A. But she was gonna be damned if she was gonna let her lack of a chest size stop her. She quickly dressed and then grabbed her sandals and gourd before changing into the new thong and bra and dressed herself in the clothes. She then strapped her gourd on her back and walked out of the hotel room and began her hunt for the hyper active blond.
"Now...where would he be?"
Gaara looked around the area and seen the one area she believed him to be at and entered the ramen shop. She was sadly disappointed in seeing that he wasn't in the area. Teuchi looked up as the red head entered his shop and let a smile spread on his face.
"If you're looking for Naruto, he isn't here just yet. He is due here soon. If you want, Gaara-san, I can make you a ramen bowl while you wait. On the house, of course."
Gaara nodded to the man. She found the man and his daughter to be tolerable and they never really bothered her about her looks and never really questioned her short hair, though when Ayame asked her, she told her it was easier to manage short hair when it came to the sandy environment she lived in. Ayame let it go though Ayame had told her how to get Naruto's attention by getting him the food he loved.
"Ahh! Gaara-san!" This was spoken by Ayame as she came out from the back of the shop. She was drying her hands on her apron.
"Greetings Ayame-san..."
She smiled and moved over to be right in front of Gaara her brown eyes happy to see the red head in the shop again. That meant that she at least was coming to join Naruto to eat. "So any progress on getting Naru-kun's attention?"
Raising her aqua colored eyed to look at Ayame's brown ones, Gaara sighed quietly and lowered her head, munching the noodles lightly.
"Sadly, No. He seems to only see me as a friend..."
"That's a start though, Gaara-san!"
Raising her eyes curiously to her, she wasn't sure what she meant by that.
"If he sees you as a friend, Gaara-san, you have a chance to get him to see you as more. And As much as I love Naru-kun like a little brother...He is dense. He probably doesn't even notice you care deeply about him. To him...everyone is precious but you have a chance to get into his heart. Go for it. If you don't, you will regret it..."
Gaara let the words sink into her head. She gently munched the noodles again before she placed the chop sticks down and looked up at Ayame. Her eyes hardened lightly and she nodded.
"Your right Ayame-san...I have the chance. I won't lose it. I can't lose it. He is the only one who helped me when I needed the help. He gave me the friend I was looking for. The friend I wanted for so long…"
Smiling, the female Ramen chef looked up and saw Naruto coming towards the shop with his face happy, though he looked like he was thinking also. He seemed to be in a good mood all together from what Ayame could tell from his looks.
"He is coming right now, Gaara-san. Do the one thing you both know. Show him what you can do and bond with him. I am sure you will be successful at it."
Gaara nodded and waited as she finished up her ramen and Naruto entered the Shop. His sapphire eyes spotted his red headed friend and a smile crossed his face.
"Gaara! How ya been? Where have you been hiding? I wanted to hang out with you."
Gaara turned her attention to Naruto as he entered and spoke to her and she nodded to him.
"Greetings, Naruto-kun...And I was in the hot springs this morning when you went on your spar with your one team mate. I have been in my hotel room since then. I decided to look for you..."
Naruto blinked when Gaara said that. "You wanted to look for me? Why? What's up?"
Gaara stood and watched him closely before she smiled lightly.
"I need your help to train for my Suna Shurikens and my Suna Bushin. If that is ok with you, we can train and practice"
Naruto grinned brightly and nodded before moving towards the exit. "Sounds good let's go Gaara! It sounds like it would be fun!"
As the two of them took off to the rooftops, Gaara let a small smile play on her lips as she followed behind Naruto. She knew this would get her closer to Naruto and get him to open up a bit more to her. Soon they arrived though at the forest of death outskirts and they both got into a stance.
"Well, Gaara! I know your sand will protect you and my healing will keep me alive! So don't hold back with your Shurikens!"
Gaara smiled and then let the cork that was in the gourd pop open and land on the ground the sand began to pour out of the gourd and surround her. She let a grin start to spread on her face as she raised her hands and let the sand start to rise up and swirl around her hands. Soon she let her voice be heard. "SUNA SHURIKEN!"
She threw her hands forward and allowed the three shuriken to fly at Naruto. He continued to dodge then and smiled as Gaara continued to allow then to fly. He knew this was helping Gaara's accuracy so he had no problem doing this. Soon though, he began to retaliate. He let two regular shuriken fly but they were stopped as the sand rose and blocked them turning into a sand bushin.
"Damn, I forgot that sand doesn't let any attacks though. I would need something different." Nartuo eeped as the sand began to slam into the ground around him as it aimed at him. Naruto was on the run and cursed himself. He knew this was bad. He had to move close to Gaara for the spar to work better. He soon began to run at Gaara, dodging the sand blasts until the sand bushin moved in front of him and caught Naruto and lifted him by his neck holding him off the ground.
"It looks like you lost, Naruto...You got caught..."
Gaara let a smirk play across her lips till a voice rang out loudly from behind Gaara. "YOU RED HEADED BITCH! LET HIM GO!"
As Gaara turned, she let Naruto go from the sand bushin. She hated being called a bitch. By anyone. And now, she saw the one person she didn't want to see use that word. The one called Uchiha Sasuke.
"You whore...How dare you call me that…"
Naruto went wide eyed. Why where they calling each other the names Women used as insults? He was scared. Sasuke's chakra was flaring brightly and Gaara's sand hissed around her.
"Ano...what's going on?"
The two girls locked eyes and began to growl. Soon Sasuke got into a stance as did Gaara. Soon the two were squaring off. Itachi landed in a nearby tree her Sharingan active. Her eyes landed on Gaara and Sasuke facing off with a confused Naruto sitting on his rump, watching with a confused look on his face.
"Damn it...I am too late. It looks like the two of them will fight it out," Itachi muttered that Sasuke began her charge.
