Chapter 3: True Feelings
One month ago Gaara from the Hidden Sand Village met Oukame from the Hidden Leaf Village. Over that month Oukame and Gaara became friends. When they weren't together, Gaara worked and Oukame practiced her jutsue.
One day Gaara was excused from work today, again, so he headed to his apartment to see what Oukame was doing. Oukame didn't have a home so Gaara let her stay at his. When Gaara arrived at his apartment he saw that Oukame was sleeping. Deciding it was better not to disturb her he left. But soon he was thinking of her yet again.
"She likes me," he thought in wonder. He walked to the bridge where they had first talked. He thought of his motto, "I only fight for myself, I only love myself."
"Why do I feel like this?" he asked aloud, though there was no one around. He looked at his reflection in the water. As he was thinking of her, he thought of her beauty, the way she smiled and laughed. It was then Gaara knew that he loved Oukame.
"I must tell her but…" Gaara thought as he closed his eyes.
"You okay, Gaara?" someone behind him asked. Gaara opened his eyes and turned his head to see Oukame. The women he loved stood in front of him, and she looked scared.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he said turning back to his reflection. "But, I need to tell you something," he said facing her again.
"Me too," Oukame said looking back at him.
"Go ahead," Gaara said.
"You told me first," Oukame said playing with her fingers.
"Oukame, I….I…" was all that he managed to utter before he was interrupted by Terami.
"Hey, Gaara, good news; the ninja's finished the construction so you can go home. I got your stuff and checked you out of the apartment, let's go," Terami pulled him after her so he never got to finish what he was going to say.
"I love you Oukame," he whispered into the wind as he left the village.
"Temari, I'm going back," Gaara said a little while later.
"What? Why?" she said glancing over at him.
"To tell the girl I was with that I love her," Gaara said defiantly.
"You, love, ha!" was all Temari said. Gaara turned and left.
