Ruby woke up to her phone ringing.
"Damn…" She quickly rubbed the sleep from her eyes and picked her phone up.
"Hello?"
"Hi…is it too early Ruby?"
"Huh? No of course not Gaara!"
"Hn…Okay."
"So…why did you call?"
"I was wondering if you would like to join me for breakfast." He said after a pause.
Ruby giggled.
"You mean like a date?"
"No, as…friends."
"Okay Gaara I'll just leave a note for Kiba, come by to pick me up okay?"
"Hn."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Ruby hung up and went to find some paper. She went over to Kiba's desk and searched through the drawers, pens, dog treats for Akamaru, laptop, Finally she got to the last drawer no paper but a scroll and a few pictures, the pictures were of a man holding a new born baby he was smiling proudly, he resembled Kiba same build. The next picture was of a three year old Kiba with this man next was of his whole family with him. That must be Kiba's father… Ruby thought staring at the pictures, she stuffed it back into the drawer then fingered the scroll hungrily. Too open or not to open… A yawning Kiba interrupted her thoughts; she quickly closed the drawer and walked over to him.
"Oi, Kiba I'm going out for a bit okay?"
"Okay…" He said yawning. Ruby picked up her clothes for the day and went to the bathroom. She walked out of the washroom wearing a solid purple tube top and jeans. She put her hair in pigtails and put on a white and black belt. She quickly went out the door and tied a crystal dagger around her neck. She took a look at her I-pod to check the time and noted that it had been a good ten minutes. She stood there waiting until Gaara showed up after another fifteen minutes. She was going to say something about him taking so long but the expression he was wearing was priceless. Gaara was…smiling. Not over the top Naruto smile but a 'yeah-that's-right-I'm-smiling-what-you-gonna-do?' smile.
"Hey Gaara!"
"Hi."
Ruby put her I-pod away and went out to Gaara.
"Let's go eat."
"Hn."
"Uh…Gaara…I want to ask you something…" Ruby said a blush rising to her face.
"Yes?"
"When you saw me dancing you called me sexy…do you really think I am?"
Gaara stopped walking and looked Ruby up and down a criticizing expression on his face.
"Well…honestly, your eyes are creepy at first glance, your hair makes your eyes look more violent, your skin is pale, and you're too nice even though you can have an acid edge. That's about all the bad things about you, but, after a second look your eyes are soft and caring, your ebony hair goes well with your creamy complexion and crimson eyes, your sweet even though you've had a rough start and your body type is very appealing not to mention the fact that you have a nice ass and breasts. So yes I think you're quite sexy. Now may we continue our way to lunch?" He said flatly.
Ruby blushed brighter and smiled.
"Thanks Gaara."
"Hn."
They walked in a comfortable silence the rest of the way, Gaara stopped walking at a small park with a large sakura tree in the middle.
"We're here." He said.
"But, Gaara what are we going to eat?"
He smirked slightly and took off his gourd.
"I packed food…Temari said that you'd prefer a picnic and helped prepare it."
"You're sweet Gaara." Ruby said smiling at the redhead. He took out the blanket she had slept with on their way here and set it down. Then he reached into his gourd and pulled out four small bento boxes and placed them down on the blanket. Ruby sat down a huge grin on her face Breakfast with Gaara! Yay! She thought almost squealing in pure joy. Just as they were about to begin eating a noise interrupted them.
"Youth!!!" They heard someone shout just then a black-haired, green suited, bushy-browed boy came running towards them.
"Gaara-kun! You and this youthful girl are up early! Youth is strong with you!" He shouted Gaara looked flatly at Lee.
"Lee I think that Naruto's doing un-youthful things in his apartment."
"Oh Gaara-kun your as youthful as ever! I must save Naruto-kun from un-youthfulness!" Lee shouted then ran off the flames of youth burning in his eyes. Ruby just stared after him a confused expression on her face.
"Gaara, who or what was that?" She asked.
"His name's Rock Lee he's obsessed with youth and his sensei…strange kid he almost beat me once." Gaara said as he opened one of the boxes.
"O-K…well…let's eat." Ruby said smiling, half an hour later Gaara and Ruby were lying beside each other on the blanket.
"Gaara how long will you be staying here?" Ruby asked looking at his beautiful green eyes.
"Depends…Temari said as long as possible she wants to be with Shikamaru."
"Hm…okay let's have fun before you leave then, will you kiss me again?" Ruby asked slightly blushing.
"Hn?"
"Kiss me."
Gaara leaned over to her and lightly pressed his lips against Ruby's, Ruby wrapped her arms around Gaara and pulled him close.
