Last chapter? Me, oh my! I'm so happy to get this off of my chest!
Oh, heads up, Chiyo doesn't die in my fic! Chastity brings the Kazekage back with her magical blood. Just so you're not lost.
Disclaimer: oh how I long to own Naruto, but sadly, I spend all my wishes on the hope that the Akatsuki with fall out of the sky and into my living room…
Chiyo sat outside of the Kazekage's door, staring at her folded hands in worry, wondering what was being said behind the closed door at that very moment, but not entirely sure she wanted to know.
Sakura approached Chiyo, smiling warmly at the older woman. "Don't worry, Lady Chiyo," Sakura assured her. "Everything will get sorted out."
"I hope you're right, Sakura," Chiyo responded, looking troubled.
"I don't understand how you could even care about that traitor!" Naruto exclaimed. "I mean, he betrayed the village a number of times, and even tried to kill you! Believe it!"
"Naruto, you jackass, shut up!" Sakura shouted, pounding said blonde ninja on the head before trapping him in a headlock.
The door opened slowly, catching everyone's attention. Every pair of eyes in that hallway turned to face the door, one by one, to see what the outcome of that meeting would be.
*Chastity's POV*
"Yes, I understand, Kazekage-sama," I replied, bowing in respect, heading to the door. "Thank you, sir…" I mumbled, opening the door, slowly.
I paused when the door was only open by two inches and I turned around, racing to Gaara, throwing my arms around him. "Thank you," I whispered.
"Okay," Temari said, prying me off of him. "That's enough."
I nodded. "Sorry," I giggled. "I'm just really…happy and…surprised. I'm just really grateful."
"I understand," Gaara responded, a slight smile etched on his face. "You can leave now. I'm sure there are many people who'd like to hear my decision."
I nodded vigorously. "Of course, yes," I smiled.
"But, I have one condition," Gaara interrupted.
My smile fell. "And…that would be…what exactly?"
"I get to tell them," he smiled at me.
I paused for a moment before what he said clicked, and my smile returned slowly. "Yes, yes," I agreed, nodding.
"Bring them in," he commanded.
I grinned, before wiping my face clean of any emotion that could give away anything, and going out into the hallway outside the Kazekage's office.
Chiyo stood up, grabbing Chastity's arms forcefully. "Well?" she demanded. "What did Gaara say?"
"He says he's like to speak to all of us," I responded, keeping my face painfully blank. "He wants Sasori there as well."
"Kakashi already went to grab him," Chiyo responded. "He should be back within the next ten minutes, I suppose…"
"Are you alright, Chastity?" Sakura asked, hesitantly.
I nodded slowly, keeping my eyes on the ground. After a few minutes, I heard a swish of air blowing past me, and saw a blur of colors, mainly gray and red.
I reached for Sasori's hand, feeling its smooth texture before dragging him into the Kazekage's office, followed closely by Chiyo, Sakura, Naruto, Ebizo, Kakashi, Gai, Lee, Neji, and TenTen.
I took a deep breath, waiting for the others to fit in the room and close the door behind them.
Sasori squeezed my hand comfortingly, and I turned to face him, shooting him a smile, and returning the squeeze.
"Everyone," Gaara began, addressing us as a group. "We're here right now to talk about Sasori, who was formerly associated with the Akatsuki. He was involved in the kidnapping and deaths of at least two of the Sand's Kazekage."
Chiyo looked towards the ground, obviously thinking that this couldn't be good.
"But because of a few people's determination," Gaara continued, a hint of a smile was evident on his face. "And his agreeing to tell us everything he knows about the Akatsuki as a group and its individual members. I'll allow him to stay here in Suna."
Chiyo inhaled sharply, completely not expecting that. I grinned, bouncing on the balls of my feet. Sakura shot Sasori and me a smile, giving us a thumbs up.
"However," Gaara interrupted the happy fest going on.
However? I wondered, he didn't say anything about a "however" when we were discussing this…
"Given Sasori's past as a criminal, he will be under constant surveillance until I deem him fit to continue without it."
"Well, that's reasonable," I commented, nodding a little. "But he can definitely stay, right?"
Gaara nodded.
"Then I'm happy!" I announced, glomping the redhead in question. He laughed, grabbing me and steadying himself on the wall next to him.
"Please don't do anything R rated in my office," Gaara sighed.
I jumped off of Sasori, and shot the Kazekage a glare. "Yeah, because I would do the H-stuff with my grandmother in the room," I rolled my eyes.
"I suppose you have a point…"
"I do have a point," I claimed, hugging Sasori. "I refuse to do anything nasty in front of my Gramma-"
"I refuse to have you two do anything nasty at all until you're married!" Chiyo exclaimed, interrupting me.
"You got it, dude," I told her, giving her a thumbs up. I pecked Sasori on the lips before going over to Ebizo, who looked like he was about to have a heart attack.
"Heyo, Gramps," I greeted. "You okay?"
"Don't...ever talk about H-stuff in front of me…again…" he panted, looking uncomfortable with talk of his only grandson doing nasties with a girl. "You're…you're all growing…growing up so fast…"
I giggled. "Can do, Gramps," I promised, kissing him on the cheek, making my way over to the Leaf nin.
"One last time, Naruto?" I asked, holding out my hand.
He grinned, putting his hand on top of mine. I turned to Gai and Lee. "Hmm?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. They grinned, placing their hands in the pile.
"Hmmm?" I asked Neji. "Hmm…hmm?"
"Alright, fine," he rolled his eyes, waving TenTen over to do it too.
"Sakura?" I asked. "Kakashi?"
Sakura hesitated before placing her hand on top of TenTen's, followed by Kakashi's reluctant hand. "Chiyo? Sasori?" I asked.
Sasori automatically came over, placing his hand on top of Kakashi's, and Chiyo was a little slower, but she did it.
"Kazekage-sama?" I offered. "You know you want to…"
"I'll pass-"
"Oh, come on, Gaara! Live a little!" Temari exclaimed, placing her hand on top of Chiyo's.
Gaara paused for a minute, possibly thinking it over, before he smiled, and placed his hand on the top of the pile.
"Now what?" Sasori asked, making me smile.
I chuckled in a Might Gai fashion, which sounded quite creepy and perverted coming from me. Well, it's not like it didn't sound creepy and perverted when he did it, but it sounded even more creepy and perverted when I did it.
"Onward with the power of youth!" I announced, trying to imitate Gai's voice. "Attack!"
"Yeah!" Gai, Lee, and Naruto shouted in unison.
"Attack!"
"Yeah!"
"Attack!"
"Yeah!"
"Attack!"
"Yeah!"
"And~ One more time for good luck? Attack!"
"Yeah!" Lee, Gai, Naruto, and I shouted, before breaking our hands apart.
I sighed. "That makes me feel like I had a twenty pound gorilla ripped off my shoulders," I grinned, getting strange looks from people. "In a good way!"
"How could having a-" Sakura broke off. "You know what? Never mind. I don't want to know."
"That's probably a good choice," Chiyo nodded.
"Well…" I trailed off. "I'm gonna go show Sasori around the village a little-"
"Why don't you bring him home first, dear?" Chiyo asked. "Show him his room, help him redecorate, make him feel at home…"
"You got it!" I grinned.
"But nothing inappropriate!" Ebizo shouted, holding up his fist threateningly.
"No promises!" I shouted back, as I ran out the door, dragging Sasori behind me.
Once we were out of the building, Sasori pushed me against a wall, kissing me gently. I smiled into the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"I love you," Sasori muttered, ending the kiss.
I grinned, pulling him into a hug. "I love you too," I told him.
"Is my room the same?" he asked, grabbing my hand as we began walking down the road.
"Oh, funny story," I laughed awkwardly. "I moved into your room after I came back…"
"So it doesn't look the same?"
I nodded my head, yes. "Not one bit," I said, contradicting my head movements.
He sighed, looking up at the sky. "Maybe we'll redecorate and share the room without too much arguing," he said, smirking, knowing we'd fight over everything.
"I make no promises," I let him know.
"Stay with me?" he asked, avoiding eye contact.
I peeked at him from the corner of my eye. "Forever?" I asked. He nodded. "That's a long time, though…"
He looked at me, shock written all over his face. "But since it's you, I promise," I smiled, pecking his cheek.
"Me too," he whispered, squeezing my hand. "I love you."
The end! See, it's all sappy and OOC! I'm sorry, but I had to do it! I simply had to! The whole thing with the 'forever' is since Sasori drank Chastity's blood to become human, he'll have the same appearance and never die unless something tragic happens because Chastity's blood keeps her from aging.
Slightly shorter chapter, but there was only so much I could put there! I'm writing a new Sasori/OC story. It's called Demon Cats and My Mom's Boyfriend. So check it out if you want!
This is the utterly and complete end of the story, isn't that sad? Oh, well. It was a happy ending!
Loves and hugs, my minions!
