Authoress: yea, I don't own Naruto or Gaara. But I own myself, and my own iders.
So basically I had NO ideas for this chap, so it looooong and boring and drawn out. As you will tell later with the boring descriptions of undressing. ANYways, as boring as it might be, bare with me. This is the last chap unless I sporadically decide to add another. Probably not, though...so HAH! Alright, on ward my loves!
Chap 2: Let me show you...
It was getting later on in the day and people were waning off and only a select few dedicated couples stayed out as the sunset quickly approached. Aiko had been filling her lover in on all things social and he felt like he understood a little better.
"So, do you know what I'm saying when I talk about me having to do something every once and a while. huuuuh?" Aiko poked Gaara on the cheek and he smiled and kissed her fingertip. "Positively and unconditionally, my love."
Aiko smiled and kissed his cheek softly, "well, that's good. See I can do smart things sometimes!" She made an innocent face and Gaara chuckled.
He looked toward the horizon and noticed the sun was setting. He stood up and dragged Aiko with him. "Come with me, it's MY turn to show you something."
He then started running toward the edge of town, trying to beat the sun set.
As they ran across the sand, Gaara pulled her higher and higher up a pillar of rock. When they reached they top, Aiko gasped at was spread before her on the far off horizon.
Beautiful swirls of oranges and pinks seemed to blast across the sky. "Oh my, Gaara, it's beautiful, this is so amazing. I've never seen the sunset like this!" Aiko smiled widely at Gaara as he stroked her cheek softly.
He sat on the ground and dangled his feet over the side. Aiko followed suit and leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed. As the sun sank further and further down and the stars popped up across the darkening sky, Gaara sighed and looked over to Aiko.
She was sound asleep on his shoulder and he smiled at her. He decided not to wake her; instead, he gently picked her up in his arms and walked back into town. The night sky was as inky a black as Aiko's hair by now and Gaara decides to go home and rest.
As he walked through town, to their small apartment, Gaara hummed a soft tune that floated up into the warm desert night.
Gaara's sand opened the door for them as he entered slowly and picked his way through the darkness of their unlit home. He glided into their room and set Aiko down on the bed. Gaara looked at her and noticed she had refrained from removing her ANBU gear.
So he bent down and delicately unzipped her vest and untangled her mask which sat on her hip. Gaara then proceeded to remove her holster and slid off Aiko fishnet and skirt. She shivered slightly as the cool of their room breezed across her half nakedness.
Gaara hurried to get her pj's and softly pulled them up so they rested on her hips lightly. He smiled slightly at his 'handy' work in not waking up his sleeping girlfriend, for he knew what would happen if he did. OH yes, he knew first hand the wrath of Aiko when she was woken up when she didn't want to be.
He remembered being blindly hit in the face so hard he was knocked backward. Soon after Aiko awoke and apologized fervently for what she had done.
In the mean time, Aiko had snuggled under the covers and Gaara had unstrapped his gourd and set down by his nightstand. He had changed into his pj's which consisted of black boxers with tan gourds on them and a black muscle shirt (all credit goes to Aiko, of course.).
The Kazekage crawled into bed beside his lover and draped an arm over her waist. Scooting close, so his body heat engulfed her, Gaara soon drifted off as well. But because of his still, but fading, insomnia, he would wake up momentarily.
Every time he did, Gaara would stroke Aiko's half exposed hip with his finger and nuzzle her neck softly, being careful not to wake her. Then, his eyes would shut and once again he would fade into sleep.
His mind was clouded with the dreams of finally understanding the strangers that were the people who he was supposed to understand.
And the woman who was one of his most cherished friends and his lover. The woman who helped lead him into this pleasantly confusing world, and would someday, lead him out the other side.
~Sobs~ I finished!! I'm SO proud!! I've realized this probably the 7th story I've ever truly finished, 5th or 4th with a decent ending, and I've been writing for almost 6 years! HUZZAH!! ~pat on the back~ alright, so, like I said I don't really know if I'm gonna add to it, probably not because if I do I won't finish(ehehe...^^;) and the ending will be crappy. So weep, cry whatever you want, it's finished! Now, R&R....or I will track you down and dump burnt cookies all over your bed whilst you sleep!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!
