I JUST CAN'T STOP WRITING! I love this chapter. Hope you do too. :)


I entered the room quietly. Outside, the moon shone brightly, enlighten the room. His massive bed was untouched and so were the rest of the objects in his room. It was ironic for a person who barely sleeps to have a bed that could possibly fit 3 people. No wonder he could black rings around his eyes. Although the balcony door was opened, but other than that the room was vacant. Phew.

I turned to go before I get caught – but a shadow across the floor caught my attention. It was a human shadow. And judging by the length of the shadow, it was coming from the open balcony.

I turned around slowly; my hands flinched ready to get a kunai, thinking that this person would be an enemy. But his eyes were sharper than knives, glaring at me. Oh man, he looked gorgeous, the moonlight shone behind him, outlining his features. I'm doomed!

"What are you doing here?" He asked cold as ice.

I fumbled; I seriously don't know the reason. I guess you can say I was curious, and curiosity will soon kill me!

He waited, arms folded across his broad chest.

"I-um, I-I w-was...I-er-got lost?" I managed to say. I seriously hate it when I stuttered.

"Is that the best you can do?!"My inner self shrieked and slapped her forehead.

Gaara was silent and rose one eyebrow, well, where his eyebrow used to be anyways.

"Oops wrong room, you know, its dark outside...I can't see properly." I chucked nervously.

There was long awkward silence.

"I'll leave." I said turned around to go. "Gaara?" I asked softly. I didn't want to go; I enjoyed his company too much.

"Hn?" He replied. And sensing his tone, he wasn't mad at me anymore.

"Do-Do you sleep?" I asked.

"No, I've tried but I haven't succeeded." He answered truthfully, "Could you...help me?"

"Help you? You mean help you sleep?" I wasn't expecting this. I was surprised; I didn't remember Gaara asking anyone for help.

I saw him nod.

"Sure, I'm happy to help." I smiled and walked over to his bed. But he still stood there looking at me, confused. "What? You're going to sleep standing up?" I teased.

He walked over the opposite side of the bed and he lay down.

"Now close your eyes." He did what I told him to. I sat at the edge of his bed, waited for him to sleep. A moment later, he didn't move or said anything. I guess he was asleep. I stood up, carefully not to wake him. Smiling as I go.

"Sakura...?"Nope, he wasn't asleep.

"Hmm?" I turned around to see full set of eyes wide open.

"I can't sleep." He stated. No duh! I walked over to the other side of the bed and slid down the covers next to him. What am I DOING?

"Admit that you enjoy it!" My inner self teased, I do admit, I was enjoying this.

"I'll tell you stories." I exclaimed excitedly.

"I am not a child, Sakura." He grumbled. I giggled at his comment.

"So you don't want me to, I do come up with great stories. But that's OK, since you don't want to listen to it." I rolled over until my back was facing him. I waited smirking. I knew at any second, he would give in. I was using reverse psychology on him.

He sighed, "Fine." He mumbled. Booyah! Sakura scores again!

I giggled and rolled over to face Gaara. I started telling the adventure I had with Naruto, and the arguments I had with Ino-pig and my training days with Tsunade-sama. I miss them. Again, I was surprised Gaara listened to me, asking me questions when he doesn't understand.

All of the sudden I yawn. He stared at me confused.

"What was that?" He asked.

"Oh that. That was a yawn, it happens when you're tired." I explained.

"Are you tired?" He asked, worried. He was so cute when he's worried about me.

"Kind of. Are you tired?"

He nodded.

"Then try to let yourself go, relax your body and mind..." I explained. He did. A moment later, I noticed that his breathing were stable. Taking in and exhaling the same amount of air. I smiled as I knew he finally fell asleep. I gently, without disturbing the body next to mine, lifted myself to escape the further more embarrassment. But before I could, Gaara's arms were around me, pinning me down, making my escape act impossible without waking him up. I gave in and besides, I love the feeling that I was wanted and needed.

"Goodnight Gaara." I whispered, smiling as I drifted to sleep in his arms.
