IREENE'S POV
Me and Gaara were at the local restaurant "This is delicious" I groaned in delight, inhaling the food "I never had food as good as this in any village I've been to" he gave a small smile
"That's nice to here" he muttered.
She give him a small jab "hehe nice, that's the only thing I get" she said. "C'mon, I know you can come you with something better than 'that's nice' like really" I chuckled
We finishing up and then we headed to Garra's place for a sleepover.
When we got there Kankuro was playing with his puppets and Tamari was making dinner. "Kon'nichiwa Temari-san, Kankuro" I greeted as I glared at the boy with purple face paint
"uh, hi Irene-Chan" Temari replied
"hey weirdo" the puppet master causally retorted, I sent him a hard glare
"says the one playing with dolls" I retorted with a small smirk, then asked the blonde female "What are you making Temari-san?" I could see Kankoru start to fum in the background
"udon noddles, Gyōza(dumplings) and teriyaki fried chicken" the spiky blonde answered
"It smells good." I commented
"Arigatō(thank you) Irene-Chan"
I turned to the redhead "C'mon Garra let's go do something until Temari-san's done with the delicious food. Ok." I said "I mean we already ate not long ago yes, but I can never pass up good food. Ya'know." I stated
3rd POV
After dinner the two went to the Gara's bedroom, they hung out for a bit until Irene soon fell asleep.
The redheaded male looked down at the female's passed out figure as she rested her head in his lap. He stiffen at first but then relaxed; resting his hand on her silky blood red hair, playing with it bit and hoping it would stay like this forever.
IRENE'S POV
COUPLE MONTHS LATER
I was at the front gates saying my farewells to the Gaara and his siblings
Garra was holding my hand, a bit tight at that "hey" I turned to him "-Lets make a promise, a promise that no matter what we'll always be friends and no matter what happens we'll stay friends" I said giving a little peck on the side of his cheek. making him turn a slightly blush dusted pink "Can you promise me that?" I smiled at the darker redhead.
"And you two" I turned to the two older siblings "Watch Garra until I come back. Ok." I declared, putting my hand on my hip and pointing my other thumb to my chest emphasizing my statement
"You got it kid" Kankuro said
"Take care Irene-chan" Temari said
"I will"
"Make sure panda-chan stays out of trouble and keep those mean spirited bullies away." I firmly tell them, then turning my glance to the redhead "I'll miss you my favorite panda-chan, don't let anyone tell you otherwise; Your perfect and if others can't see what I see then they're idiots." I said, staring into his vibrant sea form green orbs, before Tasogare jumped between us "oh, it seems that someone else want to say goodbye" I chuckled, picking up the pup in my arms and smiled cheekily with a tilt of my head. The pup smiled its dogie grin at the redhead making a soft, small smirk appear on his face.
I leaned the pup closer to him and *LICK*
"Ew! Doggie slobber." Garra playfully whined, wiping off the big chunk of saliva from his face making me crack up. "Don't laugh"
"No promises" I replied through my laughter "you got to admit it was a bit funny, yeah?"
"Okay, perhaps a bit" garra begrudgingly replied
"Wait up!" A couple of new voices called out, I glance back and saw Seto and Kato running up looking like they were out of breath, panting with their hands on their knees taking a moment of recovery.
"W-we, we, we wanted to a-ap-apologize for how we treated you garra-San" Kato said a bit out of breath glancing at Garra with an apologetic look.
"And we wanted to know if we can be friends again Rin? I mean we really liked hanging out with you and to be honest we didn't want things to end on a bad term between us." Seto added "We understand if you don't want to, but we wanted to make things right before too late."
"Why didn't you do this sooner?" I asked
"because we were jerks and didn't get the full picture." Seto said with genuine remorse shaking his head
"And also cause we thought if we did then what will become of us, would we have become outcasts too. But then we thought if it meant a torn friendship with one of our best, most kindhearted friends then we didn't care we only wanted to mend the damage we caused because you are worth it." Kato ranted
"Really? Do you mean that, everything?"
"Mhm" the two nodded
"And Gaara-chan, we'd be happy if we had another chance and start over." Kato asked with a small glance at the redhead "Maybe this time we can get to know each other properly" garra faintly nods tho with a bit of hesitation
"there's one thing you need to do before you guys can become my friends again"
"What's that?" the two raised an eyebrow
"You have to kiss Tosogare." I exclaimed, the two had dumbfounded expression and I saw Kato lipping 'your kidding' which I respond with a Nope' popping that 'p' at the end, mischievously grinning with an evil glint in my eye "if you want to be friends again then you have to kiss the canine" I said in a song-song voice.
Kato picked up the pup first and slowly leaned in before he got a face full of saliva just like Garra did moments ago, Seto shortly after.
"Okay now your forgiven" I chirped will a mischievous grin as everyone bursted into laughter
"You know when I called you an angel, we'll no. Your truly evil, the devil in disguise." Seto exclaimed
"Why thank you" I mockingly bow making the group laugh some more
Temari leaned close and whispered "Arigatō" a faint grin presented itself on her face, a hint of solace in her eyes "you helped garra come out of his shell and really improve. I'm sorta will miss you."
"Sorta? I thought we were friends?" I chuckled "I think it would be more than that."
"yeah the kid really needed a friend or two." Kankuro said
We then began to walk off
"good luck on your adventure! Don't be a stranger!" Seto called out
"And don't forget to stop by the sand anytime we'll be waiting!" Kato added
All five of them finished their farewells and we were then back on the road, awaiting what the future might hold....Tho we didn't need to look long or far to find out.
Lena and I were walking though the land of fire as we recently visited Suna again to say hi for a bit and I wanted to see how my panda-chan was doing
We walked a few more miles through trees and forests when suddenly several fast objects came flying in our direction
Lena quickly teleported us out of the line of fire "You ok, Ireene-Chan?" She asked, I nodded 'yes' and then turned towards the unknown assents "They must be some type of ninja" Lena said pulling out the shuriken.
"Lena-san! behind you!" the bandits threw some more shuriken at the two of us when Mikamo came in and deflected the shuriken and kunai, landing in front of them
"Mikamo-Nee, thanks" I grinned
"Don't sweat it" she brushed off forming some hand signs causing rain started to falling.
"Rain?!" Mikamo nodded "yes this technique can drain ones chakra." I tilted my head in slight confusion. "Oh right, I didn't tell you about chakra yet" she muttered. "I'll tell ya later, but let's just say you don't want to be caught up in this jutsu." she said with a bit of a wave.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\Mikamo POV/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Don't sweat it" I Said forming some hand signs 'Water style: Chakra absorbing rain'
"Rain?!" Ireene asked, I nodded, and relied "yes this technique can drain ones chakra." she tilted her head quizzically. "Oh right, I didn't tell you about chakra yet" I muttered to myself. "I'll tell ya later, but let's just say you don't want to be caught up in this jutsu." she retorted with a bit of a wave.
"Your a ninja." one of the assailant said but came out more like a question
"So you just thought I was another defenseless girl. hmm, I'm hurt" I bluntly and mockingly, tilting my head tauntingly. tying my a headband under my bangs "And I advise you to flee now"
"and why would we do that" the other one retorted
"Because if not-" I throw a twirl a kunai between my fingers, throwing it inches from their heads "-now you better take this opportunity of mercy, because I might not be so generous next time" I simply said with a deadpan stare.
"ha." they laughed "You think someone like you could defeat us. your nothing but a little, pathetic, and weak girl" he taunted
I teleported behind them, placing the cold steal on their necks making them slightly flinch "I could kill you right now if I wanted to." I said lowly and meaning "but I being nice, so you better scram while you have the chance to hang on with your feeble lives." I said press in harder, showing them I mean business, and am not hesitant to end then. Then a moment latter I pull back my kunai slowly as fear set in and they scurried away into the dense forest. "The cost is clear" I called out
"Makomo-nee that was amazing." Irene cheered! "when can you teach me that?!"
"yeah kido" I said ruffling her hair as we started to walk into fire country territory.
"You have the map backwards! AGAIN!"
"oh, I knew that" I said playing it cool and brushing it off as I flipped said map
"Why do we keep giving her the map?!" I herd rin mutter as the bluette gave a slight shrug.
