Chapter 10, Bonds of Steel, could be read as a short one shot if you want the meat of the story. Gaara and Chojuro are rescued by a gilled swordsman. Kisame recalls how he encountered Hiramekarei and gave it to Chojuro in a moment of need. ⚠️WARNING ⚠️ for non-graphic mentions of rape.

Chapter 9 - Clouded Judgment

Ao startled awake. He activated his uncovered Byakugan, scanning the mansion. He caught glimpse of the unique signatures of Hiramekarei and Gaara leaving the building. He felt the Mizukage stir beside him.

“Is everything okay?” Mei mumbled sleepily.

“I think so. Chojuro and Lord Gaara are off somewhere at this time of night. What could they possibly be up to?”

“Don’t even think of telling me what time it is,” Mei warned, “Or else. Let them be.”

Ao didn’t wish to be threatened any further. He settled back down in bed, wrapping an arm around Mei’s soft and warm waist. His strong chest pressed to her back and she shifted back against him. He growled in arousal, pressing soft kisses against her neck.

“Let me sleep,” she groaned.

Ao kissed her neck once more in apology and inhaled deeply, enjoying her warm scent.

Chapter 10 - Bonds of Steel

"I think that's how I found you this time," Kisame continued. "Samehada was drawn to Hiramekarei's distress. It's not the first time it's happened with these two swords."

Chojuro's eyebrows raised in earnest. He longed to hear more. "I hope you'll tell me more, but we have to do something about Gaara."

He looked down at the Kazekage pressed against his side. Gaara shuddered violently, his arms wrapped tightly around his chest trying to keep warm.
