+Naruko+

"Naruko?" he whispers in shock, looking around at everyone, the huge crowd that had gathered.

"Heh.. everyone was rushing.. just to save you!" i smile. "You put us through a lot!"

"For sure. Your the little brother i always worry about, eh?" Kankuro walks over to us with temari.

Then some girls in the crowds are shouting something. "GAARA SAMA WOULD NEVER DIE OF COURSE! HE IS STRONG, GOOD LOOKING..." The other one adds on "HE's ALSO KAZEKAGE... AND HES SO CUTE!" the other one yells, and a crowd enveloped gaara, pushing me to the ground.

"Thanks, Naruko!" Kankuro sais, and i just smile. "You should thank the old woman, not me.." I beckon to lady Chiyos body which is in Sakura's arms. "She saved gaara with medical jutsu..."

"She passed out... she'll be fine so-" i start, but i'm interrupted by kankyro. "NO"

I can't help but shiver at his tone.

"What- what do you mean no, dattebasa?" i whisper.

"That was not medical.. it was life transferance. Chiyo is dead." that struck me like a hammer.

"W-what?" i stutter.

"It's a jutsu that restortes life.. in exchange for the casters... At one time... people wsere researching how to give life to a puppet. And chiyo led that. She worked it out, but.. in the process, said the risk was too high. It was then made a forbidden jutsu, and sealed away..."

I then remembered Chiyo's words. And they did sound an awaful lot like a will...

"Naruko.. before today.. Chiyo would nbver have done this.. you truly have the gift to change people..." Temari murmers, and i nod, standing up. "I know. And i understand how she felt." Gaara gets up and stands beside me.

"Everybody,.... everyone should all say a prayer to Chiyo.." he says.

(Timeskip)

"Meh.. i guess this is when you normally shake hands goodbye, but... i'm bad at that, so-" i stop when i feel him hug me, amazed. I hug him back, before pecking him on the forehead, and we all leave.

(And, since i'm lazy.. another timeskip!)

"It's been a while.. Naruko.." i hear a deep creepy voice say, so i turn around. "Who?" i say. "It';s me..." they just reply, and i sigh. "And who is me?"

"Just because it's been a long time since we have met.. you should recognise a comrade.. it's hurtful.." Then it clicks to me.

"The weirdo way to talk.... SHINO!" i yell in astonishment. "You got it..." he murmers. "Shino! Your early!" a voice calls out, and i look up to see a boy on a giant dog?

"K-KIBA!" i say amazed, and he laughs. "IT'S YOU NARUKO!" I point at the massive mutt. "The dog.. it isn't....?" "It's akamaru, duh!" he smiles. "Anyway,.. youve gotten big!" he shamelessly checks me out and i groan, URGH.

"No way, akamru is big!" "Oh, rly? I never noticed.." Kiba says honestly and i stare at him, baffled. "WHAT? BUT..BUT.. HE USED TO SIT ON YOUR HEAD!" i yell. "You recognised kiba right away.." shino grumbles, obviously in a bad mood. OOo0O0o.. someone's mad...

Suddenly i hear a gasp.

I peek around the corner.. and it's Han hyuuga! "Oh, hey Han! Whatcha doing hidin' over here?" i ask, and he.. faints? "WHAT? HEY< HANNNNNNN!" i yell in shock.

Lol!
