Chapter Three:
Normal

(Y/N)

After Gaara left me alone in the dimmed lit bedroom, I took the time to attempt to get the collar off my neck. My attempts ended in failure due to the collar shocking me every time I tried to disable it. It was no use, I was defenseless. I had to get out of here. I have a contract with the Akatsuki, Pain will surely come looking for me. If he finds out I'm with the Kazekage, he'll have everyone in the sand killed. I needed to escape Suna as quickly as possible. With Orochimarus help, Pain is bound to find me in the matter of days.

I heard the door open slowly to reveal Gaara's face peeking through. The light outside the door made his hair a brighter red. His pushed his hair back as he spoke.

"Hey so Temari is making broiled gizzards and I was wondering if you'd like to join us for dinner?" He asked "You don't have to if you're not hungry or you just want to be alone." He added, giving me a soft smile

"I'd love to." I beamed, getting up

He smiled and opened the door wider for me to exit. I said a thank you and followed him to the dinning room inside the building. As soon as I saw the food in front of me, I instantly scarfed it down. It was the first time I had a hot meal in awhile, I was very grateful for the food. When we were done eating, I thanked Gaara's sister and Gaara led me back to my room

"I don't have clean clothes for you to wear for now so just for tonight you'll have to sleep in that. I could bring you extra blankets just in case you're cold from those wet clothes." Gaara said, I shook my head

"No it's fine I'm used to sleeping in the cold." I replied

His eyes widened, he looked down and mumbled, "No one should have to be freezing all night."

"It's alright, Gaara, really." I said, taking off my shirt to reveal my comfy sport bra I wear everyday. I wash it every two days so it didn't smell bad, it looked very shitty but it was all I had. I looked up to see Gaara's face bright red with embarrassment.

"Oh, sorry, I'm used to getting undressed in front of people." I said, blushing and rubbing the back of my neck

"No it's fine..." His eyes trailed down "Would you want to borrow my clothes for the night?" He asked, my eyes widened. He seemed very nervous about asking me if I wanted to sleep in his clothes. I thought about it for a second and came to a conclusion that it would be better for me to be warm.

"Yes please." I said

"Alright." He said, his eyes trailing down to my chest. He left in a hurry, it didn't take long for him to return with black shorts and a red shirt.

"Here you go." He said with a soft smile, sticking the clothes out toward me. I took them from him he turned around. I took off my bra first. I didn't like to sleep in it since it was uncomfortable and way too small. I put the red shirt on afterwards and proceeded to take off my pants. I slipped on the way too big shorts and tapped on Gaara's shoulder. He turnt around, "So how do I look?" I asked

"You look good in my clothes." He replied, laughing a little "Tomorrow you can have a nice hot shower and Temari can get you some clothes."

I bowed, "Lord Kazekage thank you so much."

"Please don't be formal, I hate that." He said

"Okay well, thank you Gaara. Goodnight." I said smiling

"Night." He responded, taking his leave. Once he shut the door I heard him lock it from the outside. I sighed, flopping onto the soft bed and pulled the sheets over me. I set my head onto the pillow and closed my eyes. Gaara's clothes smelt like vanilla and sand...

It took me a little while to fall asleep, I continued tossing and turning for awhile until I had finally drifted off.

I gasped and sat up on the bed. Just another nightmare as always. I brought my knees up to my chest, a tear shedding from my eye. I wanted my life to go back to the way it was. I was supposed to become a powerful ninja, make my dad happy, and marry Itachi. But now Itachi's dead and my father thinks I'm a traitor. My shoulders shook as I began silently crying.

"(Y/N)."

My heart stopped when I heard the sound of Pain's voice. I hesitated and looked up to see his purple rinnegan staring into my soul. I swallowed hard, "Pain? How did you get past all of the guards?" I asked, seeing the door to the room Gaara locked was now open.

"I have my ways, more importantly how on earth did you get caught?" He asked

"This advanced technology they have..." I touched my collar "It stops your chakra flow at certain points so you can't preform jutsus."

"I see, Gaara of the sand was the one who captured you?" Pain asked

There was no point of lying at this point, he already knew. They were all going to die and there's nothing I can do. I nodded and wiped the stains of tears on my cheeks.

"He's the host of the one tail..." Pain mumbled to himself, my eyes widened. Thats right, the Akatsuki was looking for the tailed beasts and wanted to unseal them all to revive the ten tails. I can't believe I didn't remember that task.

"(Y/N), you are going to stay here in Suna and do a favor for me," he said "Befriend Gaara, earn his trust."

"Why?" I asked

"We will abduct him once we know enough information to make a strategy. You will help won't you." He said

"I...I don't-"

"Remember, (Y/N) we had a deal. You are my property. I own you. Follow my orders and I won't kill him and every single one of the sand villagers." He ordered

"Y-Yes sir..." My eyes watered

"Good. See you in a few weeks. Zetsu will keep an eye on you. Attempt to warn the Kazekage and I won't hesitate to kill you." He responded, casually waking out of the door and closing it behind him

'Gaara you're going to hate me.' I thought, laying down and clutching onto my pillow while sobbing.

Why the hell do I keep getting into situations like this? I didn't realize how much I actually had until I lost it all. My life used to be so wonderful. I just want to be a normal again.
