In the Naruto world, where there aren't any cookies (Book 1 of The New Noblesse)

Training Start

Yo~ I've been obsessing over Hellsing for the past few days, and couldn't help myself :)

Enjoy--

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We ran through the Forest until we reached a clearing that had the scent of blood all over the place. Grimacing, I felt three presences behind me and greeted them without turning.

"Gaara, Temari, Kankuro." I greeted, while kneeling to touch some of the blood on the floor. Lucifer stiffened next to me at the mention of Gaara's name. I rolled my eyes and sighed as I straightened up. Why can't those two get along? Turning around, I came face to face with the Sand Siblings. Gaara's gaze softened a bit as it landed on me, and I went forward so I was in front of him.

"Hey." I said, raising my hand in greeting. He gave me a very well hidden are-you-serious look, and I shrugged.

"Look, we all know I join in on conversations, but I don't start them. Not all the time anyway..." I said, adding in the last bit as Lucifer fake coughed. I smiled at Gaara, who slightly smirked.

"You killed them, didn't you?" I asked. His smirk immediately vanished, and he frowned, looking away guiltily.

"You killed in front of my Master. You deserve to die." Lucifer said. Gaara's gaze snapped up to Lucifer and he glared, while Temari ans Kankuro backed away. I sighed, and put a hand on Gaara's shoulder. Sand grabbed hold of my hand, and Lucifer came up to us, a sadistic smirk on his lips.

"Master...he touched you...shall I kill him?" he asked, much to the horror of Gaara's siblings. I sighed.

"Lucifer. Don't." I said, and he sighed but backed off. I turned my attention to Gaara, whose gaze hadn't left me for a while.

"Shukaku. Let go." I said, my voice was commanding, and the sand reluctantly let go of my hand. I smiled.

"Is he letting you sleep?" I asked, and from the corner of my eye, I saw Temari and Kankuro coming towards us.

"Yes, I am. Nice to know you haven't forgotten me, Noblesse." came Shukaku's voice. I frowned.

"Don't call me that, it sounds weird." I grumbled, earning a smirk from Shukaku and Lucifer. Gaara was still staring at me, and I suddenly got self concious. I could feel my face heating up as I looked at him.

"G-Gaara? Why are you staring at me?" I asked, and then mentally cursed myself for stuttering. Shukaku heard my string of curses and whistled.

"Good, my host's girlfriend isn't some innocent child." he said, and I could see Gaara's face get pink. If his face was pink, then mine was probably a neon red by now.

"She's not my girlfriend!' Gaara said defiantly. I nodded.

"Yeah, Shukaku, he's not my boyfriend." I agreed, picturing myself kicking Shukaku's ass. I could practically see him flinch as he chuckled nervously. Lucifer then picked it as the time to get me out of this mess.

"Master, we must train, and look for the scroll. If we're still competing in the Exams, that is." he said. I turned to him, relieved and shrugged.

"I don't know. Should we stay in the games?" I asked no one in particular. Gaara nodded.

"I think you should." he said. I nodded.

"Well, there you have it, I'm staying." I said to Lucifer. He nodded and smiled at me. Temari gasped, and we then noticed her and Kankuro were right next to us. I jumped backwards.
