Chapter 2

Gaara slid the door upon, he wore his usual red Kazekage attire, his hair combed neatly and swooped to the side. He looked troubled. I know where this is going. "Lady Kumiko." He gave her a nod. "Lady Kaori." He also gave me a nod.

Almost every who lived at the Maede compound knew that Gaara and I were dating, however majority of the people who lived here were our family members, elders, or our servants. All of them more loyal to us than they ever will be to the village. Majority of our servants were taken in, orphans, those who were poor, or just people who needed a place to stay. We treat everyone with respect, and because of that those here would take a kunai for us. Gaara's siblings know as well. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Temari, but now I doubt that I will. The two of us stood and gave him a bow. "Sister, do you mind giving us a word?"

She shook her head. "Of course not. Nice seeing you Lord Gaara." He gave her a soft smile. His classic, beautiful soft smile. She grabbed our empty plates that were once decorated of lovely layered sashimi, leaving the small tables and pillows for us to sit and talk. Upon her exit I gestured for him to sit across from me, he did so. "I take it this isn't business."

He shook his head. "It isn't."

"Enlighten me, please." He took a deep breathe. "I want to talk about the miscarriage."

Again with this? I don't want to talk about it. I have a hard time just getting out of bed. However I've decided to let him talk about it this time. "Okay." Was all I said, anything more than that and I might have lost it. My hands shook. I don't want to hear this. "I think that you should tell the rest of your family, and I'm also going to an ounce it to those on a need to know basis." My mouth gaped open in surprise. If this gets out it could look terrible on him, especially since he isn't married. "Gaara you can't!" I can not imagine what some of the elders would do rather than say. Even after Suna used him as a weapon, hated him, singled him out and even attempted to kill him he still chose not to retaliate and show the people the great leader he can become. Yet there are still those who question him and wish for his downfall.

He sighed softly, but gave me an honest smile. "I didn't realize the strain that it put on you, having to hide our baby, being excited for him or her. And then losing it?" He shook his head. "I shouldn't have asked you to do that. I should have been there for you." I couldn't really argue with him. Honestly though, he wouldn't have had to ask me, I would have done it anyways. "Maybe you have a point, but..." I trailed off, this is getting harder and harder to talk about. If I hadn't avoided this for so long, maybe this wouldn't be happening. "It's not your fault. Neither of us knew what to do to cope... We just..."

"You see where this is going." He looked into my eyes with his said, turquoise colored eyes. "We need to take a break." My entire body began to shake, I knew this was coming, but still.

"Whose fault is that?!" The angry tears that weld in her eyes finally spilled, my heart breaking as they fell. "When I needed you the most you bailed on me! You threw yourself into work. You never came hope, and when I miscarried the baby you just left. You left me to drown in my sorrow and sadness." She huffed at me, tears trickling down her beautiful toffee colored skin. "I know you blame me for it."

Gaara's Point of View

My eyes widened. What is she saying? Of course I don't." Kaori I don't blame you! I never have." She scoffed. "Well I don't believe you. I wish I had never came to this stupid village filled with people that want to see others downfall." She's right. Ever since we got here her clan has had nothing but a hard time. Her sister died, and now it's in scrambles to find a new leader for their clan. Now Im breaking up with her, what an asshole.

"I wish we had never dated. I never should have slept with you." Her words slapped me in the face. She regrets us? "I reached across the tiny table that separated us, I grabbed her shoulders and squeezed them. "Please don't say that! I don't regret us. I don't regret meeting you." My eyes pleaded for her to believe me, however I was met with angry eyes. Eye's that wanted me to know her pain. "The next man I sleep with will be way better than you. He'll even be a better person." She slapped my hands away from her shoulder.

"I know you don't mean that." I held a death grip on the table, my fingers had gone white and the table began to break underneath my grip. "Oh I mean it alright. I can't wait to find the next. Hayato was right, Koji should have been my first." I was so angry, it's like I just lost control of myself. I couldn't take what she said. Koji? I knocked the table into the wall on the right side of us. "Have you gone crazy?" She yelled at me. "Koji huh? Well that's too fucking bad because it was me, and it'll always be, me." I smirked at her, she became furious. "Get the hell out of here." She went to move away from me but instead I grabbed her arm, and forced her to face me. "You'll never forget that it was me who made you the woman you are!" I pushed her onto her back, holding her in place with my body, I tore her kimono apart, the soft fabric like paper to me. Her breast that were the size of coconuts are now exposed to me, I ripped her bra from the middle and began sucking on her nipple, not giving her any reaction time.

"A-Ah~" She moaned, her back arched and pressed firmly against mine. I grabbed her other breast and began to twirl her nipple with my index finger. I could feel my erect member hardened at the feeling of her warm body, I began grinding it on her pussy, I could feel her her getting wet, as it became moist down there. I slapped her ass, hard. "Say it." I growled into her ear. "No." I chuckled, she'll say it. I sat up from her, her eyes burning with desire for me. I grabbed her black shorts and pulled them down, exposing her bare pussy. "What kind of whore doesn't wear panties?" I turned her onto her back and slapped her eyes again, she groaned, clearly liking the pain. Pulling my pants down my cock began to ache for her for her, I shoved it inside of her wet, steaming pussy. I groaned into her ear. "Gaara.."She whispered into my ear. I started off with slow stroked, but as she loosened up I began thrusting hard and fast. "You like that don't you?" I slapped her ass again, it began to turn red. "Fuck you!" I slapped it again. "Say it." Slowly I pulled myself out of her the tip remained, only thrusting far enough for my own pleasure.

She moaned hoarsely. "Please..." I chuckled softly. "Only good girls who do as their told get to have the entire thing." She whispered. "Im yours..."

"What's that? I can't hear you." I slowed my movements down. "It's yours Gaara!" I smirked while pushing myself in again. "Good girl, but that's Lord Kazekage to you." I couldn't control myself anymore. I fucked her rigorously, my fingernails dug into the soft red skin of her ass. "Tell me if you want me to cum." She gasped, liking the pain of my fingernails seeping into her skin. "I want you to cum inside of my tight pussy Lord Kazekage!" Hearing those nasty words come out of her pretty little mouth sent me over the edge, in final thrust I released my load inside of her, sweat beading down the side of my face, and down her back.

"Wow..." She clearly liked it, I liked it too, which is why Im even more disgusted at myself. What kind of man does that? I pulled out of her. "Pretty sure that's how we made the last one.." I couldn't help but smile. This woman, through my bad and ugly, always holds love in her heart for me. "Im so sorry... I shouldn't have done that. I pulled my pants up again and stood, turning my back to her. "I don't know what came over me." What little of her kimono remained she attempted to cover herself.

"Hey." She stood up, and hugged me from behind. "I shouldn't have said those things... And you're right, I didn't mean them." She sniffled. I turned around to face her. Tears fell down her face. " I just can't imagine being without you." She said, her big round brown eyes staring into mine. "I didn't mean to push you away.. I really didn't. It's just that everything has been so bad since Midori died!" i kissed her lips.

"Let's talk later?" I smiled softly, and she returned mine with a silly grin. "Okay.." I hugged her. "There's going to bed a meeting for at least an hour or two about the successor. We name one today, and we go to vote on if we'll be allowed to continue as shinobi."

"H-huh?" That was today? "I totally forgot." She laughed. "Well it's not like you didn't have other things on your mind." She winked at me.

Kaori's Point of View

"Let's shower." He nods. "I'll explain in their." My bathroom is somewhat big, it's a walk in. The very center of my bathroom it the tub, which is built in with the floor. It's often mistaken as a Jacuzzi. The floor made up of beautiful white and grey colored marble, the walls grey. "Every time I come in here it reminds me of a storm." I smiled. "Me too babe." As soon as I said it, I regretted it. He came here to leave me? Are we... Done? I looked at him to see if he had caught the slip up, and he did. He turned the tub on, but not the shower head, which hung over the tub, it was a big metal square that the water dropped from. It simulated rain. He undressed and got in. "Babe huh?" He held a serious expression.

I joined him in the tub after I undressed. "What are we doing Gaara?" The water slowly but surely made its way to covering up our chests. I didn't notice but he must have put bubble solution in. It smelled of cactus. I don't know why but I love that smell. "Marry me." I giggled softly. "Yeah I wouldn't mind." We sat on opposite sides of the tub/ He had a brow raised at me. "What?" I asked him. He tilted his head, a silly grin on his face. "Why are yo-.. What?!" He laughed. "Took you a minute." YOU want ME to MARRY YOU?" He simply nodded as if it was the easiest thing in the world to say. "No." I told him. He rolled his eyes. "Why not?" He asked innocently, obviously not believing my answer. I merely stared at him until he laughed again. I narrowed my eyes at him and scotched my nose at him, clearly in annoyance. "Okay, fine. I didn't expect you to say yes." He chuckled.

"No duh." I grinned too. "I don't know Gaara. Right now?" I mean of course he means right now, and it has almost been a year. I think my father is expecting this. Seeing as I've caught them talking in private more then once. "Did you talk to my dad about this?" He nods, his expression serious again. "I did. I wanted to ask you ever since I found out you were pregnant. I hate that we lost the baby, but afterwards it didn't change, I still want to marry you." I couldn't help but smile. I kind of wondered if he was going to ask me when I told him I was pregnant. The fact that he still wants to marry me even after makes me so happy. "You just came here to leave me twenty minutes ago." I pursed my lips, that came out more like a pout. He gave my the classic Gaara puppy eyes. "That was a spur of the moment, and a lapse of judgement action, and I didn't say I was going to leave you, I said a break." I splashed water on him. "It's the same thing." He wiped the water from his eyes. "No, it isn't. I thought that if I gave you some time to with no obligations to me, that maybe you'd see that we're meant to be together." Uhm. What?! He was going to mine fuck me? I laughed. "I hate you." He shook his head with a smile. "You don't, and I know that now. I should have just asked you how you felt."

I sighed. "And I should have talked to you sooner about how I was feeling." I joined him on his side of the tub. I basically swam there. I guess this is a pool. I kissed him, his lips warm and soft. "I don't know if I can promise to always be the woman to always tell you how I feel..." He looked into my eyes and kissed my forehead. "I can't promise that I'll always be able to come home.. I'll always try though. Even when times are bad." I smiled. "I guess we can get married." I said it nonchalantly, rolling my eyes as if I didn't really want to. "You're so beautiful." He said before dunking me under the water. "Hey!" I said as I came back up. By then he had swiftly made his exit from the tub, or the 'pool'. "I have to go, fiancee." He wrapped a towel around his waist. "See you after the meeting, fiance." He shot me a smile before he left the bathroom. I instantly got the jitters. "I'm going to marry the fucking Kazekage!" I laughed to myself.

As I walked through the Maede compound I noticed a lot of tension in the air. The servants seemed to be extremely anxious. "Lady Kaori." Megumi called to me. I shook my head at her. "Seriously Meg?" Looking at Meg is like looking at myself in the mirror. The only distinct difference between us is she has no male. I have a mole next to the botulinum of the eyelash of the right side of my face.

She had turned her neck so fast to see me it popped. "Are you sure?" I sighed. "I am. Don't worry, I'll tell him we're getting engaged too."

She giggled. "Yes, calm the fire with water." I took in a deep breathe. "Looks like we're here." Meg took my hand in hers, and we walked into the hall together.
