Chapter 25

 

~Breathe~

 

 

Rolling into the warm body, Haru wrapped her arm around his waist and gave his butt a squeeze. Not able to hold in the giggle when he lazily opened his eye and smirked. “Morning cute stuff.” Shikamaru pulled her to him and kissed her softly on the lips pulling away to look into her red eyes, “morning to you too, beautiful.” Rolling over she climbed out of bed, her naked form now visible to the shadow user. I'm definitely awake now. He thought as he watched he go into the bathroom. Rolling onto his back he let out a small groan, I don't wanna get up.

 

~Down the hall~

 

Knock….Knock…. “yeah?” “Hey get up so I can get my nephew.” Kankuro smiled down at the girl in his arms. Smiling he called out, “Come in and get him.” Temari shook her head and opened the door, “you better be…..” he sentence died in her throat as she looked at her brother smirking and lying in his arms, still asleep, was her best friend. Temari couldn't contain herself and closed the door. She walked up to the bed and put a hand over her mouth. Kankuro shook the girl in his arms. Phoenix slowly opened her eyes and looked up. Instantly she sprang out of the bed, clothed in one of his big shirts that hung to the middle of her thighs. “Temari!” Temari clung to her friend sobbing. “Phoenix!” the two konuchi shared their moment in silence. Kankuro smiled as he slipped out the door and jogged down the hall to Haru's room. Knocking on the door he couldn't suppress the big smile when she answered. “What's going on?” she asked the jonin, who was starting to freak her out. Grabbing her hand he didn't answer her when she squeaked out. Opening the door he pushed her in, turning to yell at him she stopped when she heard her name called, “Haru.” Pausing mid-turn she spun around and came face to face with her older sister. Smiling Phoenix couldn't keep her self from wrapping her arms around her sister's neck. It took her only a minute to realize that her sister really was there and hugging her, crying she wrapped her arms around her sister's waist and buried her face in her neck. Soon they were joined by Temari and the three stood just holding one another. Their moment was interrupted by a masculine voice, “Phoenix.” The three separated to see Ryu standing in the doorway. Wiping her eyes she released Haru and the two older siblings hugged. Ryu wrapped his arms around her neck his hands on her head. He kissed her head twice, and leaned down to whisper he loved her and was glad that she was back. Soon their hug was accompanied by Kira, one for not being that emotional he surprised his team mates by wrapping his strong arms around the both of them. Phoenix let out a squeak of surprise and the two jonin laughed at her surprise. Kira kissed her head and Ryu pulled back some to let his team mate hug his comrade. “I'm glad you're safe Nixey. We were worried about you.” Smiling up at the taller ninja she hugged his waist, “thanks Kira.” Coming through the door connected to their room, Kankuro walked up with a very big, very happy Kenchi. Phoenix released her hold on Kira's waist and smiled at her son who she hadn't seen him since he was three months old. Kenchi grabbed a fist full of his dads' shirt, not wanting to release his grip. Phoenix just smiled and leaned in and kissed his head, “it's ok buddy, I know it's been a while.” Pulling back, but before she could get too far he grabbed her shirt. Reaching his other hand out asking for her to take him, smiling she grabbed him from his dad and hugged him to her. Soon Kenchi was surrounded in a hug from both of his parents, and he loved it. The other occupants leaving the room so she could get dressed. “Onee-chan, hurry up.” Haru through out before she closed the door. Shaking her head she kissed her two favorite guys and walked into the bathroom to get ready. Kankuro couldn't contain his happiness throwing his son up in the air he called out as he caught him, “mama's home!”

 

Kenchi crawled around on the floor. Crawling from one adult to the next, soon sitting in his favorite uncle's lap. Gaara smiled as he amazed Kenchi with producing some sand and turning it into a sand castle. Everyone laughed and Gaara quirked a brow. “When did you learn Sand Castle Jutsu?” Kankuro joked. Everyone laughed again when Kankuro was hit in the back of the head with a hand made of sand. The day was spent with everyone talking and just being able to breath. Soon the adults were joined by the new team 13. Kane was the first to notice his sensai, stopping in his tracks he couldn't keep him self from smiling when he saw her. “Sensai.” Phoenix smiled and stood walking over to her student she went to rub his head when he launched himself into her open arms. Taken back for a second at the sudden attention, one not normal for Kane, she hugged him and allowed him to silently cry into her chest his happiness, hidden from the other occupants of the room. Pulling back she smiled at him and bowed her head in a thank you manner. He stepped out of her embrace and his arms were soon filled with Kei. Phoenix smiled, “I see you took my advice.” Kane smiled “yeah.”

 

Soon the sun was setting in the sky and it seemed as though the day had just flown by. “Hey sis?” Phoenix looked to her sister who was sitting in between Shikamaru's legs, “so what did they do to you?” Phoenix sat back against the couch with Kenchi in her lap, she rubbed her hand threw his hair and spoke, “First they kept me locked up, for about the three weeks. Then Itachi made me an offer at the time I couldn't refuse.” Everyone looked questionably and before anyone could ask she continued, “he showed me what would happen to the ones I loved if I didn't obey him and the organization. So I did what I had to, going on missions to help them track down the remaining tailed beasts. Naruto and one other remain.” Closing her eyes she opened them again to look at her friends, “we have to stop them. They didn't share with me what exactly their up to, they didn't trust me. But what ever they are doing is not going to be good, for anybody.” Haru hugged her knees to her chest as she thought about Naruto. Shikamaru sensed her unease and wrapped his arms around her waist whispering in her ear, “don't worry he may be a knucklehead, but he's an excellent shinobi not to mention his strength.” Haru leaned back into the young man that held her and closed her eyes. Shikamaru couldn't help the feeling of contentment as he held her close to him. Running his hand up to her face he ran it down the side of her face and thru her red hair, smiling as he heard her moan almost too softly for him to hear. He then began to rub her shoulders watching her head roll from one side to the other. The action did not go unnoticed by a certain konuchi who smiled and stood bringing with her Kankuro's hand. “Come on let's go to bed. I'm beat and Kenchi's asleep.” More than happy to comply to her demand, Kankuro stood and wrapped a arm around her waist, kissing her neck he whispered in her ear, “but I'm not tired yet. Why don't you tire me out first then you can sleep?” Smiling she turned her head and captured his lips. Walking out if the room she said her goodnights to the ones left. Shikamaru had stopped his ministrations on Haru's neck and shoulders. Soon Temari and Ryu left followed by Gaara. Now being the only two occupants of the room Haru went to stand but Shikamaru had other ideas. Pulling her into his lap he stole the words about to escape her mouth with a searing kiss. She couldn't help the moan that died in his mouth and he hugged her to him with such a force she thought she would break. Fisting her hands in his shirt she returned the kiss with as much fever, forgetting about where they were lost in the moment, she almost forgot to breathe.
