Author's Note: A teeny bit of Sakura bashing... But can you blame me? Uneventful chapter Meh, I suck for not having eventfullness.

"Do you think that's the best thing to do given your... wound?" Temari asked once we were back in the car and on the highway.

I exhaled a breath and put my face in my hands. "I don't know... It's just how I let things go." I said looking up and out the window. "I only discovered it last year. My previous Mas-" I stopped. "I-I mean... Nevermind."

Temari and Kankuro both looked at me. Gaara stared at me quietly with wide eyes and raised eyebrows. "What were you going to say?" Temari said quietly.

I swallowed. "My previous city had an... expensive, gym that only the richest were allowed to go to. So, I... Used it. A lot."

Temari furrowed her brows and cleared her throat, focusing her attention to the road. "Do you think you're getting a little conceited with your money?"

"No." I said quickly. "I mean, it's my money and I don't want to work out with snot faced kids running around, that's all."

"I have three children, Lee."

"oh god." I whispered, replacing my head in my hands. "Well, mainly it's the peace. I'm sure your children are little angels. But-"

Gaara leaned over and whispered into my ear, "You're just making it harder for them to like you."

"I'll shut up now." I said, sticking to my words.

XxX

"I just don't think he's the guy for you, Gaara." Temari said, looking over her shoulder for me.

"Please don't send me back. Please don't send me back Please don't send me back." I whispered over and over again from hiding spot around the corner.

"Just because he doesn't like children doesn't mean he's not a good guy, Temari! He told me earlier that he loved you, Gaara."

"Damn it." I cursed from my position.

"Really?" I risked a peek around the corner and studied Gaara's face. He sure was a different person with his siblings around. There was no way I could find any trace of anger or happiness on his features, they were smoother than a brick wall. "He told me last night that..." He hesitated, I recognized it as a well placed pause to think of a lie. "That he wouldn't be able to feel the same way."

"That bastard!" I whispered at the same time that Temari shouted it.

"No. It's not what you think." Gaara said and I looked at him again, he was going to reveal it all right there wasn't he? Here it comes... "He just got out of a bad relationship. He told me that he'd been dating this girl for two years then one night after..." He hesitated again, nodding his head slightly. "Sex. She told him to get out and that she had never loved him." I stared with my mouth open. What a solid lie!

"What was her name?" Kankuro asked.

I stepped out from my hiding place and started drying my hair from my shower. "Sakura Haruno." It wasn't much of a lie, really. She had been a previous master. She was the one that let me use her work out facility after anything and everything I didn't want to pent up. And surprisingly, Gaara's story matched what had happened, with a little bending of the truth here and there. Except it had been three years and she had told me I wasn't an adequate enough lover.

"I know her!" Kankuro exclaimed, "Didn't she have a sex slave a couple years back?"

"How would I know?" Gaara and I answered quickly.

XxX

"You can't keep doing this." I whispered, trying not to scream. Gaara's hand trailed under my shirt and started tweaking a nipple.

"Don't you think you deserve something for telling Kankuro that you love me?"

"Mmh, but it wasn't, Ah! true." He stopped and I opened my eyes, looking into Gaara's.

"Kankuro doesn't know that." Suddenly, he twisted it and I cried out loudly. His other hand moved down into my pants, he started stroking gently, while I stared at the moon out his window. "Isn't foreplay nice? Remember to breath."

"Y-Yes, Master." I said a little more loudly that I probably should have.

"Whoo-Haa!" Came Kankuro's voice from the other side of the wall. "Role Play! I like it!"

"Kankuro, what are you doing?" Gaara said, standing up off the bed and stepping outside into the hallway.

"Getting a glass of water, bro. That's all."

"There's a million different ways to get to the kitchen, why walk past our room?"

I imagined that Kankuro shrugged. "I didn't know that you two would be getting it on, if you know what I mean."

Gaara sighed. "You are an embarrassment."
