Choose your own Naruto Adventure- Let's find out!
From Create Your Own Story
You still harbor some feelings for Baki...but you're sensible enough to realize that no matter how much you try to pursue the matter...there's not much of a chance of anything happening between the two of you...especially when he asks you to start referring to him as Ni-san (older brother or big brother whatever you want to say).
As much as you like being with him, you are mature enough to admit how inappropriate it would be for you to continue spending all that time with him. Instead you spend more time with the sand siblings (well mostly Temari and Kankuro...Gaara is a busy Kage after all) and Baki seems glad about the change too. You remain on friendly terms with him, but your relationship is definitely not what it once was.
As time goes by, your knowledge on future events eventually runs dry and you tell Tsunade (you're still corresponding with her after all) as much, but never to despair. You had after all performed a great service to the village and are offered the opportunity to come back to Konoha. You explain to Gaara and the others that you are no longer an informant to Tsunade...and that you have the option to return to Konoha. But they insist that you stay...and well it doesn't take much convincing for you to do so. You love the Sand Village!
You are taught some basic techniques, just enough so you're not completely useless...By the time two years roll by you find yourself working in the Kazekage's office...yep, you're a bureaucrat...don't worry the naruto world needs you too.
It is another typical day at the Kazekage's office building...meaning you have a huge-*ss pile of papers to get through. At first you had been happy that you could be of some use to the village...but oh, how mind's can change...
You sigh, "Well...no use procrastinating about it..." And you hop to it. At the end of yet another infuriatingly dull day you exit the building eager to get away...that is until a pair of hands settle across your eyes from behind you.
"Guess who?"
You sigh, "I am not in the mood for this Kankuro..."
That guy sure is a persistent one. Two years and he still hasn't given up...
"Aaw, what's the matter? Got a paper-cut or something?" He jokes as he removes his hands.
"I'll give you a paper-cut...wait that doesn't sound very threatening..."
"You must have had a really lousy day if that's the best you can come up with." He chuckles.
"...I hate paperwork..."
"Want to go for a drink?"
"I'm underage..."
"So am I and it's never stopped us before."
"...You're buying this time."
And so the two of you end up at the closest bar.
"Kampai!" You and Kankuro laugh.
"Kankuro seriously...if I have anymore I won't be able to stay awake at my desk tomorrow..." You giggle.
"Oh, come on! You can handle one more!"
"You just want to get me drunk so you can have your way with me!" You accuse him playfully.
"Say, there's a thought." He remarks and you whack him over the head.
"Was that supposed to hurt?"
"Don't tempt me to really hurt you..."
"Ooh, what are you going to do? Staple me to a wall?"
"Say, there's a thought." You giggle.
"...I was kidding you know."
"I know..."
"Hey...there's a guy in the corner who I think just might be checking you out...maybe you should go over and talk to him." Kankuro whispers.
You glance to the said corner and almost choke on your drink.
"Kankuro! That guy must be at least 60 years old!" You hiss.
"Whaat?" He smirks. "I thought you dug the older men..."
You sigh...he had never been able to let up on the fact that you had once had a huge thing for Baki...
"Seriously...what is it that attracted you to him in the first place? Is it because he hides like half his face?"
"Us girls do like a man when he's a little mysterious..." You shrug.
"Hey, I'm plenty mysterious!" Kankuro exclaims.
"Tch. Yeah right..."
"Seriously I am!" He insists.
"Prove it."
"Well...it's not like you know everything about me."
"I have access to your files you know..."
"You didn't..."
"Hey, I admit some things did surprise me..."
"Are you even allowed to go through those?"
"No. But someone had taken it out...I happened to see it...and well, I got curious."
"...That was a blatant invasion of my privacy."
"Yeah, you're right...I'm sorry..."
"...You'll have to do more than that for me to forgive you."
"Like what?"
"You could go out with me for a month."
"No."
"Three weeks and 5 days?"
"No."
"Fine, two weeks minus Mondays and Thursdays."
"Deal."
And that's how you and Kankuro start to date...
You hate to admit it but...the guy kind of grows on you during that time...although you're not about to own up to that fact. To make matters worse, he's even started to drop by the office...
"Hey, there baby..."
You sigh, "Kankuro I told you to stop coming in here unless you have a reason to...a VALID reason."
"Oh, I do...I have a present for you."
"Really." You raise a sceptical eyebrow.
"Gaara says he needs these sorted by the afternoon." Kankuro plops a three inch high pile of papers onto your desk.
"Since when you do run office errands for your brother?"
"Since it's been giving me an excuse to visit you."
"Why? I'm not even that likable!"
"You are to me honey!"
"Would you stop with the names already..."
"You're so cute when you get flustered..."
"I'm not flustered, I'm annoyed."
"Even better."
"..."
"See you tonight at the bar?"
"Yeah, okay."
So, you've got a bit of an on and off relationship with him...although it's been more on than off of late...
Elsewhere
In a hospital room.
An older woman sits by a young woman's side.
Two nurses watch her.
"It's so sad..." One of them says. "Her daughter has been in a coma for more than three years now...
The woman turns to look at them, "I...don't feel as bad about it as some of you might think..."
The nurses hastily apologize.
"I think she's doing alright." The woman continues smiling tenderly at the young woman in the bed. "Wherever she is...I think...she might be happy..."
End Nr. 17
(A/N I apologize to Baki fans everywhere...I mean, the guy IS 33...and I was a teenager at the time I wrote this. And if you don't like Kankuro...well, go and read something else because this is what you get...)
