Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Ten Years in Sand ❯ Gaara's courosity ( Chapter 2 )

A/N: thank you all for your reviews, it makes me very….. happy to know that you liked the first chapter. I do realize that it was very short but I was a little rushed to get it up. I hope this chapter will make up for the first one

 

 

Anyways on with the story

I do not own Naruto… now that that's been cleared up……

 

Gaara felt a small burst of chakra familiar yet mysterious to him. It was no one he knew, that much was true. He slowly climbed out of his meditation position and slung his gourd over his shoulders.

He wanted to investigate this new chakra. His sand slid out of the gourd and disappeared through the floor boards, under the door, and through the crack visible under his window. He departed without a trace after his sand.

Gaara found the source of the strange chakra.

A girl.

A familiar looking girl.

He had seen her before. She was at the chuunin exam four years before, he would know because she had sat right behind him during the written exam.

What was she, a leaf nin, doing here in the village hidden in the sand?

His black ringed eyes narrowed as she stopped. She was dressed like that crazy bitch nin tester Anko with the small exception that she was wearing her hiate-ate around her thigh rather than her forehead.

“You can come out you know. It's not like I'm going to bite you, that is unless you want me to.”

Gaara's scowl deepened as he steeped forth out of the shadows. “What are you doing here?”

“Business with the Kazekage, your Otou-san, ne?”

Gaara's eyes became slits as he glared at the kunoichi before him, “He is by blood but he is no father. What business so you have with him?”

“That is none of your concern. Where is his office? He is expecting me and I am late.”

`This onna is up to something.'

“Well?”

“His office is that way,” he glared pointing to the south before disappearing into the shadows once again.

“That way he says,” she muttered rolling her eyes, “that's real descriptive.”

The wind brushed against her back urging her forward. She took a step forward and disappeared.

The red haired, teal eyed ninja stared after her. `Go my sand, follow her and allow me to know the purpose of her presence within Sunagakure.' He turned and followed after her in stealth.

Atashi was confronted by two sand ninjas upon arriving at the entrance to the Kazekage's office.

She had the urge to roll her eyes, when they asked her what business she had with the Kazekage. Upon replying they looked to each other and started to laugh. Atashij made fists under her kimono top's sleeves. Her knuckles were white and her nails bit into her flesh causing red liquid to swell up around her fingers.

“If you two morons continue to hi8nder my mission, your well being may be in immediate danger,” Atashi growled glaring at the ninjas.

“go back to your own village girl. Tell them to send someone more capable.”

Atashi's eyes flashed,” I will only give you one more chance to move aside. Out of my way or I will consider you an obstacle in my mission and I WILL kill you.”

They both laughed again at the girl, who disappeared into thin air. They both blinked in surprise.

In the next instant, the ninja on the left was on the ground bleeding profoundly from the neck. His partner rushed to his side only to be knocked back into the wall that was next to the Kazekage's office. Atashi held him by the neck, crushing him into the wall.

“Do you still wish to stop me from completing my mission, or do you also want to be bleeding on the ground drowning in your own blood unable to breath speak or live?”

The man shook his head furiously, “Please let……. me……….. live,” he gagged clutching at the kunoichi's hand.

“don't underestimate me by appearance chuunin. You are no where near my skill level. Live and don't be as ignorant,” she sneered pinching the nerves at the back of his neck causing him to pass out immediately.

Next Atashi turned to the bleeding chuunin who had passed out from the pain inflicted by Atashi's kunai. She bent over him and formed three seals. Ox. Tiger. Tori (bird). Placing her hands on his neck she healed the gaping wound across his jugular. `

He'll live and never underestimate another person.'

Atashi dusted the clinging sand from her uniform as she stood and entered the building.

`She's fast and strong. An Elite shinobi. But why is she here? I need to know.'

Atashi stalked through the surprisingly cool corridor to the door at the end of it.

`I don't like this feeling….. something here is out of place. I just can't put my finger on it. I know that there are two jounin following me in the shadows but that's not what's bothering me.'

Atashi stopped and scanned her surroundings trying to calm her racing mind.

`I must be overreacting. There's nothing here.'

Atashi gripped the cool gold handle and threw the door open. It slammed closed behind after she crossed the threshold into the room.

“Ichimaru, Atashi, jounin from Konohagure you are late,” a middle aged man spoke as he turned to face her. He was the Kazekage.

“Gomen nasai Kazekage-sama, I was distracted several times.”

“Is that so? I fear that the low faith that I had in you is now ever lower. You are on thin ice here kunoichi. This lateness causes me to doubt your resolve in being here.”

Atashi felt her temper flare. To be ridiculed by one lower than herself was one thing but to be doubted by a Kage?

“Kazekage-sama my presence here is of my own free will. I am here as to keep my homeland Konoha and Suna allies. I believe in myself and my skills. Hokage-sama sent me because I volunteered and she felt I could handle anything here that may cause me trouble She knows my resolve is absolute as do I but we all have our obstacles and mine happened to come in the form of arrogant and ignorant guards who would not mind their own business. For my lateness again I am sorry, it could not be helped.”

“I have no doubt that it was not your fault but as a precaution I want you to fight a jounin of my choice…….. to the death.”
