IN HIS ARMS
Fear was one word everyone felt about Sabuko no Gaara. But I wasn't afraid. I was quite intrigued by the young Kazekage, he didn't scare me. When I was with him I felt safe, especially in his arms. You can't do anything but love him when he asks you "what is love?" What can you do? All I did was shrug and took his hand. "Love is a special feeling you have for someone, Gaara." I smiled lightly as I started into his eyes and he looked at me and his emerald eyes shone. "Is there anyone you love Gaara?" Now I was curious. Gaara said nothing. I bowed my head, and I thought I had said too much. He looked upon the sky, his eyes staring at the stars. "I-I--- I believe I do." I smiled at him. "And who might that be?" He looked over at me as a blush crept upon his pale face, under his emerald eyes. "Y-You," he whispered as he grabbed my hand, pulling me closer to him. "Me?" I asked quietly as I rested my head on his shoulder. He wrapped his hands around my newly bandaged waist, and smiled, as he held me against him tighter. "You make me feel safe," I admitted as I closed my eyes feeling the cold, crisp air rub against my skin. "But, I—was a---- a monster." He said sadly. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "You were never a monster, all you needed was love."
Don't worry; there will be a part 2. Okay, so here's what's happening. I don't know when this is, or where. But this is Shebai Haruno and Gaara, truly, madly, and so very deeply in love. (Hint-hint, nudge-nudge psst!! NAME OF NEXT CHAPTER)
