Castles of Old A Truth to be Told (Rained on my Heart, The Non Movie)

Chapter 1 Journey to the Strange Castle

-Calienia's P.O.V.-

"G-Gaara...?" I said and he chuckled more.

"I had to stop you somehow so I thought I'd make it enjoyable for both of us."

I blushed more before bending down and picking up my Kanesada. Suzu gave me a worried look but I sheathed it causing her to calm down.

"So what's the plan?" Kankuro asked and I gave him a confused look.

"What plan?"

"We've discovered a castle on a island near the borders of wind country. It hasn't been known to exist until now." Gaara explained.

"Really? Has there been any movement?"

"Not yet but I don't trust it. I'm going to check it out myself. Kankuro get Baki and tell him to take over for a few days. Then gather any ninja that would be willing to come on this mission, as far as I'm concerned it's B-ranked." Gaara said and Kankuro nodded before leaving.

I smiled at Gaara.

"Can I come?"

"No, you stay here in the village."

I crossed my arms and pouted like a child.

"Why the hell not?! I'm a fucking jounin if you haven't forgotten!"

"Yes but a few months ago you had a fight with your dark side and nearly died. Do you want me worrying sick about you?" Gaara asked making me frown.

"Gaara that was almost a year ago. I'm fine, I promise."

Gaara sighed before smiling.

"How soon can you be ready?" Gaara said and I smiled back brightly.

"Sooner than you can say 'Suzuinthesummerwhatabummershe'sinheat'"

I giggled as Gaara gave me a confused expression. I left to pack my things while he was trying to figure out what I just said.

***Leaving the village***

"But I don't wanna goooooo~." Suzu complained while we headed out of the village.

"Well too damn bad, your going and that's final." I said making her whine more.

"Your meeeeeeeaaaan~."

"Yes, yes I am. Now shut up." I said feeling a headache coming on.

I glanced at Gaara and I could tell he was pissed off. Kankuro decided to have Anna and Kenichi come along with his pregnant sister and her boyfriend. I'm pretty sure Gaara said this was a B-RANK mission. Not a safe fucking D-rank!

I sighed and took Gaara's hand to calm him down. We both smiled at each other while we continued to walk.

***At the borders of wind country***

"Is that it?" I asked looking ahead holding my hand above my eyes to shield them from the sun.

"Well it deffinitely fits the description..." Shikamaru half mumbled.

"It looks kinda old.." Temari added.

"So where's our boat to take us there? Or should we travel across the water on foot?" Kankuro asked and I smiled.

"Both ways sound boring so I convinced Gaara to let me get us there a more fun way. Water is my specialty ya know." I said and all eyes were on me.

It took some long and hard convincing to let Gaara have me do this but it was gonna be worth it. I ran over on the water and everyone followed. Suzu jumped on my shoulder while I quickly did some hand signs.

I bent down and slammed a hand against the water and the water all around us pushed us fast towards the castle.

"THIS IS INSANE!" Shikamaru yelled handing onto Temari.

"I know! Isn't it awesome?!" I yelled back going faster.

Anna smiled looking like she was having fun and even cute little Kenichi was giggling. Temari, Gaara, Kankuro, and Shikamaru didn't look too happy though...It was funny seeing their faces. Suzu looked bored and tired. She was used to all this by now and no longer cared for any of it.

I always had a thrill whenever I get to show something fun like this off. When we finally got to the castle I jumped and did a flip before landing on the island.

"That was epic!"

"Remind me never to do that again..." Kankuro trailed off while swaying over to the island.

Anna and Temari walked over with no sweat while Kankuro and Shikamaru looked like they were gonna be sick. Even Gaara didn't look too hot. Just goes to show how strong women can be.

When the guys regained their cool we headed up to the castle to come face to face with a small army of ninja. In the front stood an old woman with a cape and crown. I assumed she was the queen so I bowed respectfully.

"I garentee you milady, we come in peace." I said and glanced up to see her nodd.

I stood up straight as the others came in from behind me. Gaara being the leader that he is decided to speak next.

"I am Gaara, Kazakage of the hidden sand. I wish to speak to the one's in charge."

The queen nodded again.

"Come with me, Janina, Hayato. You to." The queen said and a girl with dark purple hair and a guy with dark brown hair followed us into the castle.

The rest of the ninja calmed down and smiled while continuing their conversations. I noticed that on their headbands it head the kanji for castle on it. Another thing I found odd was they all no longer looked alarmed. They looked rather friendly.

'Strange...'

The queen lead us into a big room with a small stone round table. She sat down at it and gestured for the rest of us to sit.

"Forgive my fellow ninja for our first meeting. Ever since our protective fog disappeared we're all been put on edge lately."

"Protective fog?" Gaara questioned.

"Yes, many years ago back when I was still young and beautiful, we broke away from the hidden cloud. The fog hides and protects our castle."

This caught my attention almost immediately. They were breakaways just like me.

"Why did you break away from the hidden cloud?" Anna asked.

"Times were hard back then and it was sometime during a war. We broke away wanting a peaceful place where rules were light and we were free from destruction. I am the queen of this castle but I guess you could call me....The breakaway Raikage."

I couldn't believe it...these people....were just like me...
