Chapter one;

Most people who first met Shoto Sharkey would consider her either cold or emotionless. They were mostly right. Shoto cared little for most people, and the only one's she could think of that she really cared about were her boyfriend, Gaara, and her two best friends, Mira and Evelynn.

Shoto was a pretty woman of age twenty-one. She had straight black hair that stopped at her shoulders, and piercing blue eyes. Pale skinned and had a lean build. She was also a black belt martial artist.

Currently, Shoto was sitting with her friends and boyfriend. She looked over at Gaara, and studied him quietly. He had messy red hair, the kanji for 'love' tattooed over his left eye, he was slightly taller than her, age twenty-one, lean build, and had the most beautiful eyes Shoto had ever seen; Sea foam green. Even if there were dark rings around them, that did nothing to deter her from loving them, or him for that matter. With that thought in mind Shoto thought back to when they first met.

-Flash back-

Evelynn Crevan, Shoto's best friend since they were ten, was currently dragging Shoto to a music festival. Shoto would list a million things she would rather do with her time. Like being pinned to a wall by her hands with needles. Yet, here she was, in the passengers seat of her friends car, and they were on their way to the music festival. Shoto knew Evelynn's passion for music. The red-head considered herself an artist, and often dragged Shoto along to these types of things. Evelynn pulled her car into the parking lot and leaped out.

"Come on, Sho! So we can get a good spot near the stage!" Evelynn enthusiastically hurried her friend out of the car. Once Shoto's feet hit the ground she barely had time to close the car door. Evelynn grabbed her hand, and was dragging her towards the stage. As they rushed passed everyone they accidentally knocked into a girl with black hair that had..Blue tips? Shoto shook her head and mumbled an apology. Evelynn got them a spot close to the stage, and soon bands started to come out to perform.

Shoto stood there with her arms crossed, and her face expressionless. She really wasn't into the whole music festival thing. Sure, she enjoyed music, but not in this type of environment. Slowly, Shoto was being pushed back by the crowd. Suddenly, she roughly bumped into someone. After composing herself she turned to who it was and froze. It was a boy with red hair, and sea foam green eyes.

"Sorry." Shoto mumbled.

"It's alright." He responded. His voice was rather deep, soft, and slightly raspy. "I'm Gaara Sabaku."

"Shoto Sharkey." She responded bluntly. Gaara just nodded. "My friend dragged me here."

"Heh, what a coincidence. So did mine."

Shoto smirked slightly, and for the rest of the day her and Gaara stood by each other. Occasionally they would talk about this or that. Finally, when the festival was over Evelynn found Shoto.

"There you are!" Her friend exclaimed. "I've been looking all over for you!"

"Well, here I am." Shoto stated coolly. Evelynn suddenly noticed Gaara.

"I'll meet you at the car." Evelynn shot Shoto a grin, and then turned and left.

"Charming girl." Gaara said dryly.

"She has her pros and cons." Shoto replied. Then, she wrote her number down on a slip of paper, and handed it to the red-head. "Call me sometime. Maybe we can.. Hangout."

"Of course."

With that, Shoto turned and went to join Evelynn.

It was a whole week before Shoto heard from Gaara. He called he up one morning, and asked if she would go to a movie with him that night. She agreed and told him her address. Gaara sounded surprised, and remarked that she only lived about a five minute drive from him. Shoto replied that it was convenient, and then they hung up. Shoto sighed, rolled off her bed, and decided to get ready for her date. At least then she'd be ready when he got there. It was around noon, and the date wasn't for another six hours. This didn't slow Shoto down as she got ready.

Her outfit was fairly simple. A black tank-top, a royal blue hooded jacket, a pair of dark jean capri's, and black nike's. Gaara arrived at exactly six dressed in a black fitted t-shirt dark blue jeans, and black converse. He walked Shoto to the car, opened the door for her, and then drove them off to the movies. They decided on horror, and it was a movie called 'Silent Hill'. Both of them rather enjoyed the movie, and then Gaara took Shoto home. He walked her to her door, and before he left he quickly gave her a kiss. Shoto had been too shocked to respond, and watched as he drove away. Her fingers gently brushing against her lips.

-End flashback-

"Hello, Earth to Shoto!" Evelynn was waving her hand in her friend's face.

"Hm?" Shoto shot her an annoyed look.

"I asked if you were still having that party Saturday!" Evelynn cried dramatically.

"Oh, right. Of course I am." Shoto responded coolly. She then leaned against her boyfriend, who wrapped a strong arm around her, and gave her a questioning look. Shoto merely shrugged, but in her heart and mind she had decided at that very moment she would never love anyone as much as she loved him.

Well, except maybe their future children.
