Save Me…

Chapter 4: It's a 4 Letter Word

Ryane: Hello once again, readers.

Shikamaru: Yo.

Ryane: Hiya Shika-san!

Shikamaru: Hey.

Ryane: -Smirks- Cheesehead

Shikamaru: I'm not going to let you get to me. –Turns the other way-

Ryane: -smiles- I do not own any Naruto characters except my own.

A few days after Gaara's first kiss, he immediately worked on his team's mission situation. He didn't want to leave her, but he also had responsibilities to do. The days flew by, but within a month and a half, they'd be back together. He didn't talk much, but everyone was so use to that. His mind wasn't even in the celebration, it was in the clouds.

Being in the home village of his girlfriend made him feel out of place without her. It wasn't fun at all to be celebrating the 3 year anniversary of the 'disappearance' of the Akeo clan. Pain flowed throughout his body, but he kept it inside, as always. The red haired boy watched the fireworks shoot up in the darkened sky.

-1.5 Months Later-

Gaara was the first to break through the doors, wanting to see the one he missed so much during their mission. "Gaara-kun!" someone greeted loudly, standing up from the stairs. His mouth opened slightly, seeing a curvier version of his girlfriend. "Ryane…" the name escaped his lips as he closed the door after him. Temari and Kankuro were off to see the Kazekage, telling them of their studies. She smiled and walked up to him, setting on hand on his cheek. Her thumb brushed over his face, seeing that he'd changed. Her eyes were half lidded, seeing as if she had trouble sleeping. Even with, Gaara couldn't help but fall for her all over again. It was unusual for him to think like this, but for Ryane, it was different. He knew that they were alike, and whatever he said was for her only. She, too, returned this way. Placing both hands on his face, she leaned forward. Gaara's lips met up with hers halfway. Half was from missing the girl; the other half, lust. As the kiss continued, it grew more fiery, but soon stopped. He remembered her limits and smirked. "I'm glad to see you again." The girl whispered in his ear, kissing his jaw line. "I, missed…you." His eye fell towards the ground, still a little sensitive on the subject. She smirked and kissed him again. "You've changed so much! I don't think I can look at you the same," Ryane added, removing her hands from his face. Gaara quickly took a glance at himself, then another at her. "I could say the same for you," his voice didn't change; it was still low and for the most part, monotone. Color returned to her cheeks. 'Still smooth as ever.'

He wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her, taking in her scent and trying to get use to the new feeling between their grown bodies. She wasn't as short as she was before, and she developed quickly for her age. The girl wrapped her arms around his neck and set her chin onto his shoulder. For some reason, he felt like she was holding back. This made him skeptical of if something was up. "Ryane?" she knew right then and there that he knew. "Gaara," her words were hesitant and Gaara quickly withdrew. "I…" she began, sighing before she continued, "I'm, leaving…" Gaara stepped away from her, his face unreadable. "What?" he asked, a minute later. "The Kazekage's sending me to some place called Konoha…" Without a reply, he was gone. Sand flashed in the air, and disappeared as quickly as it came. 'Uh oh…' She thought, sitting back on the stairs.

-Kazekage's office-

As Kankuro and Temari were leaving, an angry Gaara came into the picture. "Hey Gaara, have you spoken to Ryane yet?" They joked, smirking at him. He merely glared over as he walked into the large doors, shutting them harshly behind him. The two siblings stared at the doors for a while and decided that they needed to see what's happening. Standing outside of the door, the listened for their brother to speak.

"What the hell are you thinking?" the red head questioned quickly. After coming home from a celebration that he didn't even enjoy for one and a half months, he expected to be able to see Ryane daily like before. "Why do you keep separating us?" His hands formed into fists, but he knew that he couldn't do anything towards his village's own leader. "I'm not trying to separate you two, Gaara. She has to go…"
"Why." His words rough.
"Unfortunately, someone in the Mist village found out about her."
"How?"
"The hotel you three were staying at had hidden records that, well, recorded you all. They sent the tape of you and Kankuro having a conversation about her yesterday."
He was speechless. It was true that he and Kankuro did speak of her, but only finishing their conversation from before (Bad boys…). His curiosity got to the best of him and he had to ask. 'Shit.' (Ha! He picked up Temari's language too xP). "She absolutely has to go? Specifically for hiding reasons?" he asked after a long period of silence. Gaara watched as the Kazekage nod. "When?"
"Next week."
"How often can I see her?"
"That's up to her." He nodded and walked out of the room. The two siblings fell forward and quickly rose to their feet, scratching their heads. "Hey, Gaara!" Temari spoke, a bit afraid of his current state. "What's up?" the other asked smoothly, taking two steps back. When Gaara was mad, he was mad. It was weird how his emotions changed so quickly when it came to Ryane. Not only was that a reason of why they were scared, but also due to the look in his eyes. They knew it like the back of their hands. Each one bit their bottom lips.

-Ryane-

'I made a mistake, I should have told him later…Ugh I'm such an idiot!'
'You're not an idiot; you just time things wrong…'
'Yeah, that' real helpful.' She mentally rolled her eyes and rubbed them in real life. Her eyes were pinkish, due to them watering, and then going back down, and over again. Her green eyes shifted across her room as she stood up, looking for one specific drawing. After spotting it across the room, a knock roamed through again. Startled, she jumped and turned around silently. Her head tilted sideways as the door flung open. "Nyaa, Gaara-kun!" Her voice cracked, seeing blood on his shirt. Ryane walked hesitantly towards him, and stood in place. His smell was strong, seeing as this upsetting news became too much. His eyes rose to her face, ashamed. "Ryane-chan…" Her eyes lit up when he said her name. It was hard, but she could sense the sweetness hidden underneath. Quickly, her arms wrapped around his neck tightly. "You're such an idiot! Why would you leave me like that?!" She pushed him away and shook her head. Gaara didn't respond. He looked as if he was unsure of what he could say. The fact that he did leave was enough to let her know that he cared for her, but still…When her grip loosened, Gaara's eyes shifted downwards to hers. "Visit me, every chance you get," it wasn't a question, it was a demand. Ryane nodded before their lips brushed together-

-1 Week Later-

"Bye you guys! I'll come back tomorrow." The green/black haired girl waved and winked towards Gaara. His teeth shifted against each other, watching her leave the village. 'You're hooked!' Shakaku yelled in his head. Gaara walked towards the cage and had his unemotional face on. 'Temari told me it was love…'
