Chapter 4: Moonlight Talk

Kankuro had been wandering for hours. He was hot, sticky, and thirsty.. Not to mention he had sand in uncomfortable places. He let out a low groan, falling down on the hot sand again, before flailing about like an overgrown fish, which just reminded him how thirsty he was. He lay there motionless untill he looked up, and just infront of him was the Suna village. Wondering how long he'd been laying there, he got up and headed for the gates.

The clangs, and bangs, of a bar are very loud when one has a migrane after downing three very strong alcholic drinks, so it was that Kyo was laying her head on the bar table, drowning her misery in a large glass of the strongest alcholic drink they had. That was, untill Temari came in, spotted the poor girl's now limp figuire, and took her back to the tower, since she would be living there.

Temari got her set up in a room, and laid the now passed-out girl on the bed, and set some medicine on the side table to get rid of the headache when she got up, which, Temari estimated, would be around midnight. Temari retreated out of the room, and closed the door softly behind her just as a sunburnt, and annoyed, Kankuro made his way up the stairs. He took one look at Temari's angry face, and quickly made his way up the stairs to his room.

Temari sighed.. This was going to be a long three months, with a very scared Kankuro around, and a very easily annoyed Kyo. She spotted Gaara walking down the stairs, and headed to her room, not wanting to stay around. She opened the door almost silently, and slipped like a shadow into her lite room.

Gaara paused at his new guest's door, and gently pushed it open, peeking through the doorway to see a passed out Kyo laying on the bed. Not much of an eye-candy, is she? He heard his very small good voice in the back of his head say, but Gaara did not respond, he just studied the girl for a moment, before he shut the door, and retreated up the tower.

(Several Hours Later)

Warm.. Pound.. Headache.. I must have passed out. A very groggy Kyo came to this conclusion as she glanced around the room, and then popped the medicine in her mouth to get rid of the headache. She got up, her sandled feet clicking lightly on the floor as she headed toward the door, opening it with a slight creak. She glanced around the apparently empty hallway, and headed up the stairs.

She came to the roof a few minutes later, and gladly inhaled the night air as she climbed up the last of the steps. She then heard a distinct voice say, 'Who's there?' And she paused.

"Who's there?" Gaara said coldly, not even glancing behind him as he looked up at the moon. He hadn't been able to sleep tonight (ahaha), and had come to enjoy a bit of quiet. Everyone knew to stay away from him when this happened, because he was irritable..

"Umm.. Kyouri, Kazekage-sama." Kyo replied shakily, looking at the back of the Kazekage. I must have disturbed him. She thought, before she mustered her courage, and gently took a few steps forward, untill she was next to him, and sat down. He didn't object to this, so she turned her gaze to the sky.

"You don't have to call me that when I'm not in my office." Gaara said. He hated being called Kazekage-sama, but in particular this girl.. She said it so differently, and it irritated him. "I have a name.. It's Sabaku No Gaara." Kyo looked over at him, her eyes landing on the kanji on his forehead.

"Alright, Gaara-sama." She wondered why he had 'love' on his forehead, indeed. Much of him confused her, and she had learned little of him from Naruto, Sasuke, The Hokage, or Sakura. All seemed unwilling to say anything about him, and Kyo wondered why.

Gaara nodded slightly, and then glanced back at her for a moment, but their gaze connected. Kyo quickly averted her's to the sky, but he looked at her for a moment, before turning his gaze to the sky also. Kyo had a question tugging at her, and so she folded her hands in her lap, and spoke up.

"Gaara-sama, Why do you seem so alone?" The question she asked startled him, although it did not break his cold facade as he continued to look at the sky, rolling the question around in his head for a moment untill he turned to look at the girl, who was looking at him also.

"Because, I am." He responded simply, and Kyo nodded lightly, looking back at the moon for a moment. He thought he saw it reflect in her big blue eye's, and so he turned his gaze back to the moon also. Kyo smiled lightly, and the two sat in silence for awhile, untill Kyo grew very sleepy.

Gaara could see the girl was nodding off, but it surprised him when her body drooped over, and her head rested on his shoulder. His eye's had widened barely, but then he relaxed. For some reason this girl didn't set him off as much as the other ones did. He looked at her sleeping form for a moment, before he looked back at the moon.

The sky resembled a backlit canopy with holes punched in it as Temari and Kankuro hid behind the box on the roof, looking over at the two sitting in the sunlight. "See? They are the perfect couple. Kyo's caring, and Gaara's uncaring. Kyo's all fun, and Gaara's no fun... They complete each other." Temari said to a very much annoyed Kankuro.. He hated seeing those two together for some reason.. Maybe it was because he still wanted Kyo back...

Mada: Aghh.. My hands are frozen.

Itachi: Are Temari and Kankuro planning something?

Mada: shrug

Gaara: Your the author, your supposed to know.

Mada: Uhh... blank look

Gaara: Oh well.. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
