Ahh, chapter 3. Gonna be a great one. I hope this one will be easy to write. Well i'll stop blabbing and get on with it...
It's been a week since Kairi and Gaara met. They learned a lot about each other in the short time, each others likes and dislikes. This was the greatest week either of them ever had. Kiyoshi was overjoyed, Kairi found someone who accepted her, someone who was the same as her.
"Grandmother, Gaara is the greatest friend ever." Kairi gushed to Kiyoshi one evening. "Oh, well I hope so. I'm glad you've found a friend." Kiyoshi proceeded with making dinner. 'knock knock knock' "Oh! That's him, I'll get it." Kairi ran to the door and opened it. "Hey, Ga-Ga! C'mon in! Granny's almost done with dinner, we're having okonomiyaki!" Kairi said, a wide, goofy grin on her face. "Sounds delicious. Thank you for inviting me over for dinner." Kairi walked Gaara over to where Kiyoshi was. "Grandmother! This is Gaara." "Well it's nice to meet you young man, my name is Kiyoshi." She said shaking his hand. "Hello." Gaara said greeting her. She went back to cooking. "Well, while we're waiting, I'll show you the house!" Kairi said grabbing his hand pulling around the house. It wasn't a big house, just
the average Sunagakure house, covered in sand like the rest of the village. She showed him all of the house, down to the closets. "And this..." She said stepping through the door into another room. "Is my room." It was quite and interesting room. Her bed was some boards screwed in the corner of the wall with a small mattress on top, with a ladder leading up to it, although she had an average dresser with a mirror. Her walls were the most interesting thing. They were covered with different colors of hand prints, and from the size of them, they were hers. The wall under her bed had pictures drawn with paint, but just the average stick figures that a 5 year old would draw. But the pictures had a meaning. One of them was a girl with purple and brown hair standing next to two taller people, one with brown hair, the other with purple. "Who are these people?" Gaara asked pointing to the picture. Kairi looked at it and her grin fell. "Oh that's me and my parents. Aren't they pretty? Grandmother says I look like my father." Kairi said, her mind somewhere else. "What happened to them?" "Grandmother says that they died from a disease they picked up going on a mission when I was only a baby. I know they loved me, but it would've been nice to see them, to talk to them...to hug them." Gaara looked at the other drawings. There was one with the same characters all embracing each other, another one where they were all together laughing, and then Gaara looked at the last picture. It was of two smaller characters; one had purple and brown hair with bright blue eyes. The other one had red hair, with green eyes. 'She...she drew me?' Gaara was in a certain state of surprise, he never knew what it was like to have a friend. Kairi seen him looking at it. "Oh yah, that's us! Tehe, aren't I a good drawer?" She asked the big goofy grin back again. "Oh, yeah. I've never drawn before, but you're really good at it." Gaara said a tiny smile on his face. "Wha...YOU'VE NEVER DRAWN BEFORE? Well you gotta!" She said running over to her dresser and pulled out a pallet of covered paint. "We can draw together!" She said uncovering the paint. "Um..uh.." Gaara didn't really know what to do then. "Don't we need brushes?" He asked confused. "Cause' not, silly! We use our hands! Like this..." She said. Kairi grabbed his tiny hand and guided it to the paints. "Dip your hand in and just draw whatever you like!" She dipped her own hands in and began drawing; she started drawing with the green. After she was done, it was eyes. "See! I drew your eyes! Your turn, draw mine!" Gaara nodded slightly and moved his hand and dipped it in the blue paint. She faced him and kept her eyes wide. When he was done they both looked at it. "Oh Gaara! You're wonderful at it!" She said marveling at Gaara's first drawing. "T-thanks, it was my first time so I didn't know if I was doing it right." He said blushing from the compliment. "Kids! Time for dinner!" Kiyoshi called from the kitchen. "Oh, let's go I'm starving!" Kairi grabbed Gaara's hand and pulled him towards the delectable aroma coming from the kitchen.
They ate the scrumptious meal Kiyoshi prepared, talking with each other and laughing together. "Mmm, that was delicious. Thank you so much." Gaara said bowing respectfully. "Well I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I was delighted to meet you." Kiyoshi said, a wide smile on her face. "C'mon Gaara I'll walk you home." Kairi said, tuckered out from the whole day's activities. They walked out the door and they proceeded to walk to Gaara's house. When they got there the door opened. "Gaara, welcome home." Gaara's uncle, Yashamaru was there. "Oh, and this must be Kairi. It's nice to meet you. I'm Yashamaru, Gaara's uncle." Kairi shook his hand and responded, "Oh hi! Yes, i'm Kairi. It's great to meet you too." She said, shaking his hand enthusiasticly. 'Kairiiiiii' Kiyoshi called from a distance. "Oh that's Grandmother! I'll see you tomorrow Gaara!" Kairi pecked Gaara on the cheek and waved to Yashamaru as she ran off. "So that's Kairi, huh?" Yashamaru asked smiling at Gaara. "Mhm." Gaara walked inside, rubbing his cheek where she had pecked him. Yashamaru's smile dropped as soon as Gaara turned around.
