Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Loveless Suna ❯ Chapter 17 ( Chapter 17 )

Dislaimer: I don't own Naruto.

It's been a month since I'm back in Suna and I'm so bored. Gaara has been working his head off for the passed two weeks and didn't have a lot of time for me.

Shikamaru had decided to come to Suna for a month with the Hokage's permission of course; it has only been two weeks so far, keeping Temari busy.

And Kankuro has started the search for a steady girlfriend. He couldn't allow Gaara to have a steady one before him, not that the redhead has made our relationship official.

“He's too stubborn to lose the challenge. I bet that he's waiting for the year to pass, so that I'll have the do whatever he tells me the do. The pervert.” I muttered against my walls. Sighing I fell backwards on my bed.

`What am I going to do?' My eye got caught by the sun reflection on my window. “Maybe I can go out, since I don't have anything else to do.” My mind made up I stood up and walked outside.

“So warm… I'm going to melt.” I whined to myself. `It is noon. I'm probably the only one stupid enough to go out when the sun is at his peak in a desert.' I started to walk from shade to shade trying to keep out of the sun until I got to the covered market place.

There I bought an ice-cream and sat myself down on a bench near the entrance. After my treat I watched the buyers not knowing what else to do until a guy asked me if I would like to help move some boxes `for a prize of course' he had added. So when the time arrived to go home I had a nice amount of money in my new purse which had been my first purchase.

-

Humming I greeted the ANBU's at the entrance of the Kazekage tower and walked in. Without seeing anybody I arrived at my room and walked in without a second thought. I walked over to my bed and let myself fall down on it. It really was a comfy bed.

“Where have you been?!” A cold voice started me out of my little world. Scared to dead, I sat up and noticed Gaara leaning against my wall.

“Gaara? What are you doing here?” I asked surprised.

“Where were you?!” He ignored my question and walked towards me.

“I was at the market place. Oh, you need to see this.” I reached for my wallet, pulled it out of my pocket and let it be seen by the man in front of me. “I helped some peddler and he paid me. This was my first purchase.” I explained proudly.

“Don't I give you enough money?” The redhead asked staring at the purse like it was his rival.

“Yeah, but that doesn't keep my busy through the day.” I explained and stood up to walk to him. Once in reach I wrapped my arms around his neck. “And I'm bored without you.” I whined like a little girl, but still seductive.

“Aren't Temari and Kankuro keeping you company?” He asked suspiciously while pulling me even closer with his arms.

“No, Temari is too busy with her boyfriend.” I explained and Gaara raised an invisible eyebrow.

“And Kankuro with his girlfriend?” He asked mocking.

“No, more the lack of one.” This led to an odd face from the redhead.

“What? He just doesn't want to lose to his little brother. Not that we're an item or something.” I mumbled the last. When he didn't response I looked up and noticed his thoughtful look.

“What are you thinking about?” I asked curious.

“I'm going to make you my concubine.” He said all of a sudden.

“W…what?!” I asked shocked.

“It's the only way to make sure nobody touches what's mine…”

“There's another way.” I interrupted him, but his face clearly showed that he wasn't going to do that.

“The negative side is that you'll need protection 24/7. I can't have you get kidnapped again.” He decided, already thinking about who would be suitable as my guardian.

“Gaara?” I tried getting him out of his thoughts, but he was too preoccupied. `So that the way he's going to keep me by his side for the rest of the year.' I thought. `It's clearly his next move in this challenge. As a concubine he doesn't keep me because of love, but because of sex. Well, two can play this game.' “Maybe you should just teach me how to use a weapon.” I offered as help, making him come out of his thoughts.

“That's a great idea.” He said with a small smile. “So you're okay with being my concubine?” He asked surprised.

“Why not, it isn't like it's going to change anything between us. You already spend your nights with me and it would be a good explanation for my very long stay here at the Kazekage tower.” I said, making it sound like he was just satisfying his people.

Gaara couldn't oppress a smirk. He picked me up and threw me on the bed behind me. The moment I registered that I was lying on my back, his lips were already on mine.

“Gaara.” I moaned when he released me for air. My hands slid in his hair and pushed him back down for another kiss. While I was losing myself I almost didn't noticed his hands on my skin. He released my lips again and I let him slip out of my hands.

He glided down to my tummy that he covered in hickeys while his hands started to remove my pants.

“Gaara?” I asked surprised. It was unusual that he got right to my lower body. Normally my breasts got a lot of attention.

“We'll have to be quick.” He excused himself and retreated back to my head. While he kissed me again, I noticed the lack of one hand and guessed that he was busy with his own pants. He playfully bit my clothed breast and entered me.

I moaned louder with every thrust feeling my peak get closer with each one.

“Shizuka!” He groaned releasing himself, making me also come. Panting from exhaustion we didn't move a muscle.

“Gaara?” I asked concerned, because he stayed inside me.

“Don't leave me.” He whispered so silently that I almost didn't hear him.

“Of course not. I'm here only for you.” I put him at rest, tracing my fingers over his facial expressions. `Naruto did make me just for you.' I gave him a quick kiss where after he sighed, got out of me and snuggled right back against me.

“Don't you have work?” I asked remembering his `We'll have to be quick' sentence.

“Yeah…” He sighed annoyed, but stood up. He made himself back presentable. When he was satisfied he looked back at me and raised an invisible eyebrow at my appearance. I knew I must look idiotic half-naked with my pants still lingering on my left leg.

“What? You did this.” I defended myself, making him smile.

“I'll search for a suitable teacher for you.” Was the last thing that left his mouth before he exited my room.

“At least he remembered that.” I sighed happily and decided that a shower would be nice. I was covered in sweat because of my previous occupation.

-

“Is it true?” Was the first thing that Temari asked when I entered the diner. I noticed that like always the youngest of the sibling was nowhere to been seen.

“Is what true?” I asked, having a presumption about what she was talking.

“Did my baby brother aka the Kazekage name you his concubine?” She asked exciting, which was an odd sight with Shikamaru looking very sleepy next to her.

“Yes.” I announced not really getting her excitement.

“Why don't you look happy? He made you his!” Temari asked almost demanding.

“He made me his? He made me his sex-friend that's what he made me!” I yelled out frustrated and sat down pouting.

“Thank Kami, I thought that I was out of time.” Kankuro sighed relieved, making me glare at him.

“But isn't this a good thing?” The blonde asked confused, making me given her an odd look.

“What's good about this? He bounded me to him without any commitment of him. As concubine I don't have the right to keep him from other women. I'm just here to please him.” I gave my point of view.

“So you don't like this because you afraid he'll get interested in someone else for his wife, since you're already his?” Shikamaru analyzed, making me pout even more.

“Come one Shizuka! You're the only one he's interested in.” Temari tried to cheer me up.

“But what if I just made him believe in love again and now he's going to change in a player!” I yelled hopelessly.

“Wasn't he already a player?” Kankuro asked to no one particular, but Shika nodded.

“Since he's been with Shizuka, he isn't anymore.” The blonde sibling defended her absent, younger brother.

“That's also true. He's faithful to Shizuka.” The pineapple headed guy aided his girlfriend's statement, while lying his head down on the table next to his plate.

“Yeah, this is just to keep you with him until the year is over.” Kankuro said for the first time something useful. “And that means I still have eight months to find a girlfriend.” He destroyed the impact of his useful sentence.

“A lot can happen in eight months.” I mumbled.

“Gaara can be very unpredictable.” Kankuro added, making me feel even worst while Temari glared angry at him.

-

Later when I reached my room again, I changed my clothes and crawled into my bed. I noticed that a maid had come and cleaned up the mess that Gaara and I had made before diner. It didn't take long before the darkness had claimed me.

I got aware of hands that were raising me slightly. Sleepy I half-opened my eyes and could disfigure a familiar scent.

“Go back to sleep.” Gaara's voice lullabied me back to the darkness.

“Gaara.” I mumbled happy, feeling him lie down behind me and snuggle his head in the crook of my neck, wrapping his arms around me.

-

The next morning I woke up with an empty space next to me. `Hmm, he's working again. He should take a break or else he's going to get overworked.' Still sleepy I got up and stretched myself. After I changed my clothes and had breakfast, I decided to bring a little morning-snack to my dearest Kazekage.

So with a plate of biscuits and a glass of water, I considered sake but didn't want Gaara to end up with an addition like Tsunade, I was standing in front of his office door.

`Now I only need to come up with a way to knock.' I thought looking at my new obstacle. In the end I got lucky that Gaara had clearly sensed me and opened the door with his sand.

“You're not barging in?” He asked monotone.

“What? I brought you gifts that have occupied my hands.” I said innocent, walking over to him. He took a biscuit and ate it quickly.

“So, you are hungry?!” I observed with a small smirk, putting the plate and glass on his desk and watched his eyes slide up from his desk to me.

“Of course I am.” He said while pulling me in his lap and claiming my lips. His tongue sneaked through them and a wrestle match had started in a second. I felt him raise my shirt a little to get access to my naked skin.

As reaction I entwined one hand in his hair and caressed his cheek with the other. We took a little breath and deepened the kiss without a thought. It was like we were the only two people alive.

So, I was a really surprised when I heard something fall on the ground. Startled I turned my head to the door; I would have jumped up if Gaara hadn't held me down. To my surprise I looked straight into a familiar face.

“I do hope the Kazekage doesn't make it a habit to have women in his office.” Keiko said, glaring me to pieces.

“Of course not.” Gaara answered Shori's sister, who smiled sweetly at him. “Only my concubine.” The redhead continued, making the smile disappear.

“Concubine? You made my poor sister-in-law you're concubine?” She asked concerned.

“Euh, correction, I'm not you're sister-in-law!” I said before my seat could open his mouth.

“Only because my dear brother had some misfortune, so the least I can do is embrace you in the family.” She said in her fake sister-tone. I wanted to sneer at her that I never loved Shori, but my seat interrupted me.

“That's generous of you.” Gaara said in a way to friendly tone if you asked me.

“I know. I don't even hold it to her that she let me rot in jail for a week.” Keiko said, making me pout innocently. “But I'm happy that she found a place to stay… even if it's just like a concubine, but don't worry child love will come.” She continued, but clearly wasn't finished yet. “Or our dear Kazekage should have fallen in love with you?” Her eyes looked questionable in the blue-green ones, challenging him to answer. I knew she was just playing with us, but what was he going to say.

`He's never going to admit it…, but he also has never denied it.' I was now also looking questionable at him while my heartbeat got harder with the second. `He's going to have to answer; she expects an answer of him.' The challenge was the last thing on my mind at the moment, but clearly it was still firmly present in Gaara's.

“What gave you that idea?” He asked deniable and I could feel my heart break in thousand little pieces.

“Oh, you're still available then you should come and meet my daughter. She is still young, but already a beauty and I'm sure you can go without a physical relationship for a while.” She said, glancing meaningful at me. I balled my fists and Gaara tried to calm me down by laying his hands over them.

“It would be my honor.” He said politely to Keiko, who smiled happily.

“Then I'll leave you to… your previous occupation. Shizuka-chan, you're always welcome in my house.” She said before making her exit. The click of the closing door was the only thing that echoed through the office.

“Shizuka…” Gaara started, but I didn't want to hear it.

“I'll better let you go back to work.” I released myself from his arms and walked through the door that closed for a second time behind me.

Stephke23: Shori's sister is trying to get power and now through her brother's trouble she's got a connection to the Kazekage. More trouble is on his way.
