Chapter 14

Just a another normal day of Akiko, being calm and collective after revealing a bit of her strength towards team7- anyways, lets see what she is doing. Akiko currently eating dangos in the Dango shop, thinking about life. She sighed, thinking about the worst case scenarios that can happen.

The other villages are probably going to come at me- She thought and sighed once more. She always sighed. It was like a natural thing to her. She began walking to the bridge that the team 7 was suppose to meet up at.

"Oh hey guys!" Akiko said as she walked over. Then Naruto came running over.

"Hey Sakura-chan!" Naruto said, going over to her. Akiko looked at the water running below the bridge. Thinking how could Naruto fall for their local siren. Though Ino was also one...actually every one. She began falling asleep, standing up. It takes great skill to master that.

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other, then 'hmphed'. The two has been quiet since the land of the waves mission. Quite the unusual. As the team began to fall asleep, their sensei finally made his grand entrance of appearing out of thin air.

"Well, Ohayo everyone. Today I got lost." Kakashi Sensei said, giving another excuse as the team looked at him, annoyed.

"Hey um, Kakashi Sensei! Our team 7 always has the easy missions lately! Aren't there more exciting missions where I can be more active?" Naruto asked, getting hyped.

"Oh yes yes..." Kakashi said as he sweat dropped. The team went to their D ranked mission which Naruto just so happens to mess up. The day went as the two became competitive with each other.

"Perhaps we should disperse. I do need to submit a report about this mission." Kakashi Sensei said.

"Fine then, I'm going home." Sasuke said as he began walking.

"Sasuke-kun! Wait for me!" Sakura yelled as she went after Sasuke. Akiko walked to the Dango shop.

A rock..brick began to follow Naruto around as 3 students from the academy appeared.

"I think we used too much gunpowder..." The three coughed as they began to introduce themselves.

"With an adult sexiness, I'm Moegi of the senior class at Kunoichi preschool!" Said Moegi.

"I love algebra! Udon!"

"The most brilliant Ninja in the village! Konohamaru!" Konohamaru said.

"The three of us are the Konohamaru gang!" The three said as Naruto looked at them.

"I knew it was Konohamaru and his friends.." Naruto said, bored.

"Leader! You promised to play Ninja with us!" Konohamru yelled as Naruto nervously laughed.

"A ninja playing Ninja..?" Sakura said as she beated the crap outta Naruto.

"Y-you punched leader! You ugly witch!" Uh oh...yea um Konohamaru..Imma just. *Digs grave* The four ran as Konohamaru bumped into someone with a cat onesie.

"That hurts." The one in the cat onesies said as he picked up Konohamaru by the neck.

"That hurts, little punk.

"Stop that. You'll get yelled at later." The bushy blond haired girl with the large fan said.

"We're sorry, we were just fooling around." Sakura said.

"HEY! LET GO OF KONOHAMARU!" Naruto yelled. The boy smirked.

"Let's play with them before the strict one comes around." Naruto began running towards the boy, trying to save Konohamaru as he suddenly trips, not by air, but by chakra strings.

"W-what?" Naruto said, confused.

"Wow, what is the Leaf village doing." The boy said smirking. Konohamaru began to kick around. The boy, getting extremely annoyed, tried to punch Konohamaru but was stopped by a flying rock, scraping the boy's hand and letting go of Konohamaru. The rock bounced away as blood dripped from the boy's hand. The boy looked up to see Sasuke tossing another rock up and down.

"What do you think you're doing in someone else's Village, you." Sasuke said coolly as Sakura began to fangirl.

"Hmph, another punk to tick me off." The boy said, annoyed.

Sasuke stopped tossing the rock as he held it in his hands and crushed it.

"Get lost." Sasuke said.

"Oi kid, get down here." The boy said.

"You're the kind of smart aleck. I despise that the most." He said as he began to take off the thing on his back.

"Kankuro, stop that." A voice said. Sasuke realized what that voice was coming from and turned his head to face the voice.

The boy was hanging from the tree. He had the word 'love' written in kanji. Red hair and soulless turquoise eyes. He also had a gourd on his back.

"You're an embarrassment to our village." He said as everyone stood in shock.

"G-gaara.." Kankura said as he looked at the boy.

This guy..when did he get behind me.. His silent footsteps...is at the the level of Kakashi! Sasuke thought.

The guy named Gaara got down.

"Let's go. We didn't come here to play around." He said.

"Shukaku..?" Everyone turned around towards the voice that was behind them. The unknown team looked absolutely shocked.

"Akiko?" Sasuke said.

"Akiko, what are you doing here?" Sakura said.

"I was just here." She said. Akiko looked at the team that had the Sungakure head band. The sungakure team looked as the girl, she was just like a Tenshi, how did she know about the one tails?

Akiko's white haired fluttered as she tucked it behind her ear.

"You're Shukaku's container aren't you?" She said.

AKIKO POV

"You're Shukaku's container aren't you?" I asked. This chakra was familiar, Too familiar.

"Who are you." Gaara asked.

"I'm Akiko." I said looking at him. He turned his back on us, and walked away.

"Weird." Sakura said as I chewed on my dango.

"Oh, I got one for everyone." I said as I handed everyone on the floor a stick then jumped on to the tree that Sasuke was on.

"Sasuke." I said.

"Hn?" He said. I handed him an onigiri.

"I know you don't like sweets so I got you and onigiri instead." I said and smiled at him. He smiled softly for a swift second and went back and began to ponder while eating his onigiri. I smiled but thought again.

Shukaku....

(BOY I'M NOSEBLEEDING! This is how Sasuke smiled.)

(How your truly smiled u-u kawaii~)
