Ran Away from the Garden of Eden
A fanfiction by: Alex Amsel
Sequel to: Forbidden Fruit
I had a wierd dream... Well, sort of a flashback...
I felt like a stalker... Why did I follow him? His face showed he could kill anyone who got near him... But I saw something in his eyes, apart from the huge bags due to lack of sleep... Was is his hair? Red like fire... Alerting me of the danger in the situation... I stood outside the little apartment were he and his team stayed... But he was alone now.. Maybe his teammates were asleep already... He seems to be in pain... I focused in his eyes, maybe too much, he now turned to look at me... "Shit.." I whispered to myself... "Who are you? And what do you want?" He asked rudely... For some reason I just couldn't be rude to him... I wanted to protect him, to treat him nicely... "I'm Mamoru! Nice to meet you... What's you name?"
"No need to tell you..."
"Oh, I was just asking as a formality, I know your name is Gaara.. Right Gaara-chan?"
He looked a me, he seemed confused...
"Hm.."
"Soo, can I come in? It's wierd to be standing out here..." I asked
"No..." he said, but too late, in a blink of an aye I was sitting in the small couch in the living room..."Get out.. Or I'll kill you..." he hissed as he glared at me...
"You can't... I'm just too strong for you Gaara-chan..." I said confidently... This seemed to make him mad, he looked at me with enraged eyes... And suddenly, floating sand charged at me... I dodged it easily..."I'm not here to fight you.."
"Shut up and fight!"
"I won't"
Sand kept charging at me and I kept dodging it... He needed to calm down... I pulsed chakra into my hand until I had enough built up, and crossing the "impenetrable" sand barrier, slapped him across the face... His cheek turned red and a small cut bled in it... "What part of I'm not here to fight don't you understand.?!!" I asked... He brought his hand up to his face and touched the little cut, he gave a little yelp of pain, then looked at me...
"Aren't you scared?" he asked..
"Of what?" I asked back..
"Dying?"
"No"
"Me? I'm a monster.."
"No... And if you're a monster, what I'm I who beat the crap out of you? I think I'm the monster.."
"You don't look like one.. I guess you're okay to the sight..."
"Um... Thanks... I should teach you how to compliment a girl... Or you'll never get a girlfriend... "
"Hm.."
"Repeat after me: Cute"
"C-cute"
"Nice!! Now say: You're really cute, Mamoru-chan..."
"Y-you're r-really c-cute, M-mamoru-chan..."
"Better.. You sounded so sweet!"
"Now there's another thing I can help you with..."
"What is it?"
"Getting some sleep..."
"Impossible..."
"Nothing's impossible.. Now lets go to your room..."
"Hm... You're such a pest.."
"Thanks! I'll take as another `you're cute´!"
We reached his room, and at first he seemed hesitant, but then he calmed down..."Now lay down and close your eyes... Think of something that makes you happy..." I said... He did as I said, I pulsed chakra to my whole body and laid next to him, resting my head in his chest, drifting to sleep...
I woke up the next morning, my head still resting on his chest... He was sleeping peacefully... "Gaara-chan... Wake up" I called for him... I stroke his hair softly... "Hey sleeping beauty... Wake up"He opened his eyes slowly, but after realizing that he just slept a whole night, he fluttered his eyes open and looked around him, then looked at me... "I... slept.."
"Yeah.."
"How.."
"A wizard never reveals her tricks!!"
"Damn... Now what?"
"Well, we should get up, and I should go home.."
"Don't go..."
"Gaara, I'll have to borrow some of your clothes..."
"Okay..."
"You know? I think this a start of a beautiful best-friendship..."
