A/N:Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I'm not sure if anyone is even reading this story since it does suck but hopefully will get better soon...please R&R!
I would just like to say arigato to Baka-Neko of Doom and youkai-no-hikari for reviewing and also to rockstar984 since I can't seem to message you!
"Nice," was the figure's reply as his hood dropped to reveal a smiling boy with messy brown hair and red streaks on the side of his cheeks as he approached Lily who was also smiling.
"You still have good reflexes," Kiba added as he started petting Akamaru who was in hiding earlier. Lily shrugged.
"Akamaru's grown," acknowledged Lily when she noticed that Akamaru was the size of a grown lion. The two sat down on a nearby log.
"He sure has...so...what...what happened between you and Hinata? Did you two get into a fight?" questioned Kiba making Lily's should droop.
"What, what makes you think that?" Lily replied with another question.
"Neji told Hinata to go see you for some reason and she starts crying out of nowhere and ran into her room. She locked herself in for hours until Hiashi himself ordered her to get out. Shizune was giving her a lecture about missing medical practice...I'm really worried about her. She's never missed a practice since she started. I was able to talk to her for awhile but she refused to answer any questions. I think she's with Naruto right now...maybe he'll cheer her up," informed Kiba.
Lily's heart was consumed with guilt but she knew Naruto will explain to Hinata what really happened.
"I have a feeling she's going to be ecstatic when she's done talking to Naruto," stated Lily as she looked up at the sky. It was a beautiful day with a bright sun and fluffy clouds.
"So...how are you and Tsumi? You ever gonna tie the knot?" asked Lily changing the subject, grinning when she noticed the tint of pink appearing on his cheeks.
"Tsumi, he-hem she's fine, she's currently on a mission though...leaving just me and Akamaru and Brandy. We're expecting puppies soon," replied Kiba ignoring the question completely.
"Wonder if I'm going to get a mission anytime soon...it's been a week since my last. But apparently every time I'm on a mission, she's home and when I get back, she's the one on the mission," complained Lily receiving a nod in agreement from Kiba.
"Yo, Lily, Kiba!" exclaimed Dave appearing next to Kiba.
"What's up Dave?" greeted Kiba as he playfully punches Dave's shoulders.
"Not much," replied Dave as he sits down.
"Arf arf arf!" barked Akamaru.
"Fine! It's time for Akamaru's lunch, I'll see you two later, Ja Ne," stated Kiba as he disappeared with a puff of smoke. Lily started to tense suddenly very aware that she was alone with her future husband. 'I won't let that happen! I love Gaara!" thought Lily.
"We need to talk..." Dave started out but Lily was too busy playing with a piece of grass.
"Lily! Avoiding me doesn't help with our dilemma," stated Dave after five minutes of silence.
"Fine! What do you want to talk about? You heard my parents! I love Gaara! I can't marry someone I love as a friend! I can't, I won't!" sobbed Lily punching Dave's chest as her shoulders started shaking and tears streamed down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry. Maybe we can come up with a way to change our parents mind," suggested Dave as he tried to calm to calm Lily down by giving her a warm embrace and patting her back.
"Not going to happen...maybe...maybe I can runaway...back to America..." stated Lily between sobs. Dave wasn't suprised but gave her a stern look.
"We should get some lunch...maybe you'll think clearer!" exclaimed Dave as he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the ramen stand. Lily wiped her tears and started to calm down.
"What would you like?" questioned Dave when he saw her face was back to normal.
"Kimichi ramen please," ordered Lily when the owner of the shop appeared.
"Make that two," added Dave. So the owner started cooking while the two were too busy of thinking up ways to get out of this.
"Do you really want to runaway?" questioned Dave slowly scared that Lily might explode again.
"No, I mean I've made so many friends here in Kohona. Not to mention, Gaara's here and so is Hinata and all of my other friends..." Lily trailed off when the ramen arrived.
The two were too busy eating and talking to notice an angry aura around. This aura belonged to a particular red head who was walking by when he heard Lily's outburst and decided to follow her. The only parts he actually caught was something about running away to America and some kind of marriage. "I thought she liked me...maybe even love. Who would have thought she was getting married to someone else and moving to America! How do I know if my life is worth living anymore? She said my purpose wasn't to kill or be used as a weapon but to live my life protecting the ones I cherish. How do I know if she was lying?" wondered Gaara out loud as he disappeared with his sand.
"If you're really thinking about running away is the answer then all I have to say to you is that you are a coward! But you are one of my best friends none the less. When are you leaving and a better question yet, who are you leaving?" Dave pointed out afters hours of trying to convince Lily to reconsider.
"I...shut up! It's my life! Oh crap! What time is it?" questioned Lily as if she had a sudden realization.
"It's 6:50 pm...hurry up! You're going to be late for your date!" realized Dave as Lily jumped up from her seat, threw some money down and disappeared.
'I hope he won't be too mad!' thought Lily as she started looking at her watch running as fast as she could. She was now deep in the forest, searching for a certain sakura tree that had a strange red aura around it. She smiled remembering the first time she was there.
It was a Friday night when a red head was dragging a girl with dark purple hair through the forest.
"Where are we going?" she asked while the boy only smirked as he found what he was looking for and started charging towards a tree. She was freed from his hold when he let go.
"Are you crazy? Do you want us to crash into that-"she was cut off when she noticed he went through the tree. She decided to investigate and tried to touch the tree but tripped over a rock and went right through it like the boy did. He caught her on the other side.
"Took you long enough," he replied to her questioning look. It took her a couple of seconds to notice her surroundings. She was shocked to see lush green vegetation with ripe fruits hanging on the trees and a small waterfall pouring into a lake with crystal clear water.
"Wow! How, when, where, whoa!" the girl was absolutely speechless.
"Glad you like it...don't ever show this place to anyone else,Lily," warned the boy.
"The girl named Lily hugged him tightly that it almost seemed like he was going to burst open.
"It'll be our special pace," she whispered into his ear making him blush as she slowly nibbled his ear.
"It's been two years and this place is still here..." Lily stated out loud when he eyes landed on the tree with red aura around it.
She jumped though it and was surprised to see two people sitting on the log with their faces a millimeter apart.
"Gaara?" she asked questionly when she noticed the boy with red hair. She started walking over when she noticed the other person, a girl with short light brown hair leaned in and kissed him. That stopped Lily right in her tracks, especially when he showed no resistance as the girl deepened the kiss by wrapping her arms around his neck.
"That's not Gaara, it can't be," she murmured getting the other girl's attention as she broke the passionate kiss.
"Lily..." was all the girl could say.
"Gaara, how could you?" Lily whispered a tear drop traveling down her cheeks.
