After that catastrophic dinner I said goodbye to Gaara, who was going to join the Tsuchikage once more. Sakura decided to join me in the garden as an escape from Sai, who was going somewhere with Sasuke. I couldn't ask them what they were planning since Shizi was still present. Speaking of that woman, she seemed to be holding in a rage directed fully at me. Against her father and Gaara she had been the innocent self, the three Konoha nins she just ignored, but me… if eyes could kill I would have died ten times already.
“What are the guys going to do?” I asked Sakura when we were finally alone, but she didn't seemed to have heard me. Her eyes were set in a sad daze. “Sakura!” I shook her and her fist was suddenly twisting my stomach in an odd direction. Just as sudden I felt myself flying backwards and land on a human body.
“I'm so sorry, Shizuka-chan!” Sakura panted from beneath me while her right hand was already healing my stomach.
“Remind me to never get on your bad sight.” I tried to lighten the mood as the pain subsided. `How the hell did Naruto survive all of her beatings?' My subconscious was screaming on the other hand.
“What was I thinking, I wasn't… How could I?!” The pink nin was beating herself up and I felt a chakra peak from the building in front of us. “Kazekage-sama is going to kill me.” Sakura also noticed it.
“No, he isn't. Once you're done healing me I'll be fine so don't worry.” I could only guess that he hadn't showed up here yet because he was with the Tsuchikage. “Did the whole Sai thing throw you off that much?” I asked when the pain was gone. I moved myself of the pink nin and sat down before her. She continued with a last check up before answering.
“I just can't understand what he meant.”
“Well, he's Sai, he probably doesn't understand himself.” I really wasn't helping, my friend looked even sadder. “Don't worry, I'll fix it, I caused it so I'll fix it.” I promised as last resort but Sakura looked sharply at me.
“Don't!”
“Sorry…” I apologized again feeling more guilty with the minute.

Walking back to my room I could see Sakura pulling Sai to a private place. `Hopefully everything turns out great. Preferable with them as a couple.' I had to smile at my thoughts and let my eyes slide upwards to where I knew my daddy would be. It was his turn to look after me which meant that I would have some hours for myself since he only guarded my from afar. Continuing my way I slowed down when I saw Shizi walk my way. I raised my head a little and decided to ignore her, but the moment I wanted to pass her she stepped before me. “Don't think he's going to stay faithful to you. He'll dump you once he gets tired of you.” She spat at me and my eyes met hers.
“Like he did with you?” Her resolve faltered for a moment but she recovered quickly.
“Yes.” I sort of felt sorry for her. “I'm sorry for what he did, but he won't cheat.” I tried to smiled reassuringly while stepped by her.
“Isn't he just entertaining himself with you until your year is up?” Her voice sounded cold but that wasn't what made me stop, the your year did.
“You know of the challenge?” I asked without turning towards her.
“Yes, and I know you'll lose.” Somehow her word sounded like the truth and I turned to look her in the eye.
“If I lose, he'll tell me he loves me afterwards.” I wanted to fill my voice with confidence, but I wasn't successful.
“You doubt, why don't I help you.” She suddenly smiled sweetly. I knew that smile couldn't mean anything good but if I refused I would look scared.
“And what kind of help should I expect from you?”
“Why don't we make a challenge of our own?” She suggested and I knew I wasn't going to like this, but told her to continue anyway. “If I get him to confess he doesn't love you or that he loves someone else, I win. Does he tell me he loves you, you win.” I nodded agreeing so far. I didn't see any problem with that.
“What does the winner gets?” Shizi smirked at that. “Gaara isn't an object to win.” I said quickly and she nodded understandable.
“Then the loser stays away from him for eternity.” My eyes widened a little. It was tempting, I must admit and I did think my case was strong.
“Fine!”
“Great, I'll have to contract made this evening.” I nodded and walked away from her, ignoring the evil smile she was giving me.
“Of course, Kazekage-sama can't know!” I heard Shizi say aloud and I bit my under lip in doubt. I trusted Gaara, but I didn't trust her.

I woke up feeling arms creep around me and twirled around under the sheets to meet Gaara's chest. “Did I wake you?” He whispered while kissing my hair. I didn't answer instead I snuggled closer. His hands traveled over my body and with them consciously stopping at certain places I knew what was wrong.
“I'm not hurt. There was a misunderstanding.” I mumbled, nuzzling his chest and the hands stopped on my back, just holding me. “How are the negotiations going?” My voice sounded hoarse as I tried to speak up. A sigh told me they weren't going great.
“He wants something in return.” Gaara mumbled and I looked up. I could only see the outlines of his face and kiss his chin.
“I'm sorry. If I hadn't been taking. If I had been more careful…” A finger on my lips made me stop.
“Don't.” Was the only thing he said.
“But,” I dropped my head on his chest again, “then you wouldn't have come and we wouldn't be in this situation.” Hearing my thoughts aloud made me feel even guiltier.
“Hush.” Gaara pulled me on top of him and hugged me close. “Because of my chakra I could locate you and we were able to stop Eho before she hurt anyone else.” His arms tightened and I could guess it was because I was the one who did get hurt. “I'm sorry.” He mumbled and raised my arms. My fingered traced his face as I spoke.
“You have nothing to be sorry about.” I kissed his lips when I found them.
“I should have gotten through her defenses…” I kissed him again.
“Don't, getting hurt was more my own doing.”
“You wouldn't have released that power if I had been faster.” I kissed him again.
“And I wouldn't have know Kyuubi was a part of me.” I felt him stiffened under me. “Gaara?” He didn't answer and I was starting to worry.
“I know what it's like to be a jinchÅ«riki.” Immediately I got it.
“No, Gaara, I'm not a jinchÅ«riki.” He relaxed a little.
“Then how did you acquire the chakra?”
“Sasuke's guess was that it was needed for the jutsu or Naruto had to make a deal with Kyuubi since Kyuubi was probably the one who knew of the jutsu.” I explained and the body under me relaxed even more. “So I'm not sharing my body with a demon, Kyuubi's chakra is… just present in every cell of my body.” My redhead relaxed entirely. “You could say I'm Naruto's and Sasuke's daughter with a bit of Kyuubi.” A chuckle vibrated from Gaara's body into mine.
“So, you're an Uchiha.” He asked teasingly and my eyes widened before I smiled.
“I guess, Shizuka Uchiha, sounds good to me.” Another chuckle.
“There's one name that would fit even better.” I felt my cheeks heat up and couldn't contain my smile.
“Are you proposing to me?” I played shocked and felt him stiffen again. “No, then you want me to be your sister?” My teasing continued. “Then we can't be doing this anymore. I should leave, get a room of my own…” I rolled off the Kazekage and pulled the sheets off my upper body only to have arms pull me back against the redhead's chest, but this time he roll us so he was on top.
“Stay, I'll find some law to approve.” He whispered against my lips before claiming them.
“Temari's going to love that.” I chuckled when we needed air.
“Hmm, maybe not the best plan.” He mumbled taking my lips again. “Don't become my sister.” He licked my lower lip.
“Okay, I guess I'll do with Uchiha, for now.” I chuckled while letting my hands travel over his chest. Reaching his waistband I let my fingers slid over his skin. Gaara started to trace butterfly kisses from my lips to my left shoulder until he met the fabric of my nightgown. He groaned in frustration as I felt his hardness rub against my hip. I couldn't help but laugh a little and let him remove my sleeping attire with resistance. Now a groan of pleasure was heard before he attacked my breasts. It had been a while since we made love and both of us needed it. I kissed the top of his head as my legs wrapped themselves around him. “Gaara…” I whined. I wanted more. He smirked seeing my face and captured my lips while his fingers slid between my legs. He teased my clit until I was wet enough to his liking and he slowly penetrated me. I moaned in satisfaction and bucked my hips upwards. He started moving while stealing kisses in between. Moving rhythmically we build on our climax and came almost simultaneously. My tightening had been his trigger. I let him rode out his orgasm and snuggled back against his chest after he slipped out of me. Suddenly I felt him stiffen again and glance at the bedroom door. Surprised I looked from him to the door and tried to sense who it was. Gaara seemed to have identified to intruder already as he chuckled and hugged me closer again. “Who is it?” I asked not recognizing the chakra.
“Nobody important.” He said loud enough for the person behind the door to hear. My curiosity increase but he clearly wasn't going to continue. I quickly engraved the chakra in my mind as the person speeded away, knowing he or she had been discovered. Shrugging I laid down again and received a last kiss before drifting off to dreamland.

The next day I was greeted unexpectedly by Shizi as I was leaving my room. She pushed a scroll in my hand while at the same time pushing me backwards in the room again. A little surprised I looked from her to the scroll before opening it. The title only was enough to make me remember the challenge she had proposed yesterday. “You finished it yesterday?” I asked remembering her words and the unidentified visitor from last night.
“You know I did!” She hissed angry and my suspicion was confirmed. She was the visitor. “Are you sure you want to go through with this?” I asked to be certain and she gave me a look that spoke volume. `Now, do I want to go through with this?' I questioned myself. “I trust Gaara… and I know he won't cheat on me.” I reasoned aloud and knew my answer immediately. “I don't need a stupid bet to keep you away from him!” My voice couldn't have been sounded more confident and Shizi was ready to kill me.
“I'll proof you wrong!” She hissed again, twirled around with flare and strode off.
-
The rest of the day passed by quietly. Gaara seemed less irritated, making me guess there was progress in the negotiations. Sakura and Sai seemed to have made up, not that they really had a fight, but they were acting normal again. And when I asked my pink friend what had happened she just blush. “He told me he liked me being overprotective.” She mumbled in the end after I kept whining for an hour. I blinked confused, but then started progressing Sai train of thought aloud.
“Love equals overprotective, so him saying he likes you being overprotective equals him saying he loves you!” I congratulated myself for entering Sai's mind and Sakura only turned redder.
“I doubt he sees it that way…” She said carefully but I only smirked at that.
“If I tell him this reasoning, he'll be convinced he loves you!” I nodded to myself and the pink nin looked at me in horror.
“I didn't know you were such a person.” She played shocked and I stuck my tongue out at her.
“Knowing him, he'll only figure out his feelings when he's experiencing it.” My friend couldn't deny that. “So, he has to date you!” I nodded at myself, ignoring the sane part of me that was calling me nuts. Sakura also seemed to have her doubts but she was desperate enough to take any hope she could find.
-
“What are the guys doing anyway?” I asked Sakura after we were running around the tower for half an hour already.
“Oh, nothing special, just a little men time.” She chuckled and I looked at her like she had lost her mind. “We're in the open!” She whispered in my ear and my eyes widened. I gave her a sorry look.
`I really need to pay more attention! We're in an enemies' country, we can't talk open about our plans!' I drilled into my head. “Maybe we should just wait for another hour, then it's Sai's turned to guard me.” I compromised and Sakura was more than happy to comply. We turned on our heels and walked back from where we came.
“What's happening over there?” The pink nin got my attention and I followed her line of vision outside the window into another corridor.
`This building really is made to make sure nobody can do anything in secrecy.' I thought before my eyes landed on Gaara and Shizi. They seemed to be having a fight. Intrigued I stepped towards the window to get a better look. `No, it's Shizi whose yelling. Gaara's just standing there.'
“I wonder what's wrong?” Sakura asked from behind me and I raised my shoulders.
`Is she trying something?' Gaara was now doing his best to comfort her as she started to cry. The situation couldn't have looked more awkward. `If it were me, he would have wrapped his arms around me and kissed my face until I stopped crying.' I thought a little smug while watching how my redhead tried to keep as much free space between them as possible.
“She's saying something again.” Sakura mumbled and I noted she sounded closer.
“More demanding something…” I mumbled back and Shizi started to cry again. Gaara seemed to be in a dilemma as his hands released Shizi's arms. For a moment I felt victorious, but that feeling quickly disappeared when the hands traveled upwards and cupped her face. My eyes widened not daring to miss anything while at the same time I wanted to run away and forget what I had seen. Shizi raised her face again and suddenly Gaara was kissing her. My mouth fell open and I stepped backwards shaking my head in denial. I could feel a heat form in my stomach. Vaguely I registered Sakura's hands on my upper arms.
“Shizuka-chan!” Her voice sounded far away but I couldn't take my eyes from what was happening before me. Shizi's face came back in my view and she was smiling. That did it, something broke inside me and the heat spread from my stomach all over my body and a sharp yell was heard behind me. Quickly I turned around and saw Sakura laying on the floor. Her hands and two third of her body was covered in burn marks.
“I'm sorry!” I wanted to step closer to her but suddenly Gaara, surrounded with sand, stood between us. He looked at me, glanced backwards and looked back at me.
“Shi…” I slapped his face and he looked shocked.
“Stay away from me!” The heat crawled back towards my skin and I ran passed the Kazekage. I couldn't let Kyuubi hurt anymore people. Only now did I feel the tears that were running down my cheeks.
“I told you so!” Surprised I stopped and turned around to see Shizi standing a meter from me. The heat grow again and I saw her take a step backwards moving into a fight stand.
`No, I can't hurt her, not with Kyuubi!' I forced myself to turn around again and ran to my room. I locked it knowing that wouldn't keep Gaara out, but it made me feel safer. I fell on the bed and grabbed a pillow to cry my eyes in out.
-
“Shizuka, my I enter?” Sasuke's voice sounded gentle but also urgent. I whipped the tears out of my eyes trying to look a little decent before I stood up and went to unlock the door. Sasuke immediately entered and closed the door behind him. “What did he do?” My tears boiled up in my eyes again and he pulled me against his chest. His arms embraced me gently while one hand was petting my hair.
“He… kissed Shizi!” I fisted his shirt and felt him release an angry flare of chakra. “Don't taunt him, he's still the Kazekage.” I mumbled but felt a little happier that he cared. He was my daddy after all. Sasuke released me and whipped lingering tears away.
“Better?” I nodded with a small smile on my lips.
`Who needs that lying cheating bastard. I have my own family to run too.'
“We need to start packing, we're leaving first thing in the morning.” My daddy suddenly dropped a bomb.
“W-what?” I asked confused.
“The Tsuchikage felt the chakra you released.” I was just getting more confused which my face showed. “He's angry the Kazekage has brought a demon in his town without his notice.” He spat the word demon from between his lips.
“De-… What?! I'm not a demon!” He nodded agreeing with me and probably happy I had accepted what he had told me. “So, the two of us are going?”
“All of us. The Kazekage made it very clear that if you left, he would leave too.” I suppressed the warm tingling feeling I got hearing that. Sasuke sighed and when I looked him in the eye it was clear he could see right through me.
“That woman must have said something to make him do that.” He mumbled against his will and I couldn't help but smile.
“Never thought I would live the day you defended Gaara.” He grumbled something which made me laugh.
“Only to see you smile, now go pack.”
Stephke23: Of course Shizi did something and with Gaara's lack in love he probably didn't think one kiss could destroy so much. R&R
