Chapter 6:
Blushing

Gaara was waiting in Makoto's hospital room, his arms crossed, as he stood by his 6year old brother's empty bed. 'How could they allow a child, who just woke up from a coma, get up and walk around the halls? What if he passes out? What if something horrifiying thing happens to him?' The Kazekage asked himself. He took a deep breath, to calm himself. Someone would walk into the room and he would demand answers. Sabaku No Gaara, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, was not going to lose his little brother, not after he just gotten him back.

Just then, in walked the same red-haired female doctor who had been helping treat Makoto while he was in his comatose state. She stopped dead in her tracks when she had noticed the small empty white bed, her hazel eyes then stopped on the male in the room. "Gomen," she bowed quickly, "I didnt realize that your siblings had yet to return." She then turned ot leave, but was stopped by the sound of his voice.

"Why?" he asked, his arms still crossed, "Why did you allow my brother to walk the halls alone?" his voice bearing that of a worried big brother.

The medical nin turned around, staring into Gaara's deep sea blue eyes. "Makoto-san need to walk around, to get used to it. It can also help him get the strength he needs back into his legs," her tan arms now crossed, "besides, he's not alone, Kankuro-san is walking with him." She stated, her face slightly scrunched up. She didnt like the attitude Gaara was giving her. Sure he was worried, but he was no doctor and he needed to let her do her job!

"With Kankuro?" The kage repeated. "Why didn't you explain to Kankuro that its not safe for Makoto to be walking around?" he protested, obviously not listening to a word she had just said to him.

The red haired woman run a hand through her long red hair, sighing, "Kazekage-sama, I understand your worried about Makoto-san, but as I said before, he needs to walk around." She then looked him directly in the eyes, showing she was serious. "If you would like, next time he needs his exercise, I'll be the one to walk him around."

Gaara nodded slightly, "I would like to be contacted when he is going to be walking around again. He just woke up a few hours ago, and I do not want him to fall back into a coma by tripping," he stated, his voice still bearing that of a worried big brother.

The woman nodded, then turned to leave the room, but-once again-was stopped by the sound of his voice. But instead of it being an order, it was somthing much more appreciated.

"Thank you...." he said, barely audiable for the woman to hear.

She turned around to face the male, only to notice he was looking down to his side, not wanting to make eye-contact with her. She smiled slightly. "Your welcome Kazekage-sama. If there is anything else, please dont hesitate to contact me."

"Gaara," he looked back up at her.

Her hazel eyes blinked a few times, "Excuse me?" She asked. Sure she knew that was his name, but it showed more respect to call him by 'Kazekage-sama' than by his first name.

Gaara cleared his throat, so that he could be heard better, "My name is Gaara, and I would like it if you called my by my name," He stated, back to his normal monotone voice. The young kage then noticed the shade of the female doctors cheeks changing to a slight pink color-similar to the color of one of Konoha's female's hair.

She shook her head. "I couldn't call you by your name Kazekage-sama, it's disrespectful to you," She stated, diverting her eyes from his.

"It would be more disrespectful to not call someone, who has asked you to, by their first name-" he then paused, noticing he had yet to obtain the name of the woman who had been helping him and his family, for the past 2 months now. He looked around, thinking. Surely she had told him before, but why couldnt he remember? Finally looking back at the woman, he asked, "What is your name?" his voice showing slight curiosity.

The woman opened her mouth to speak, but her voice wasnt heard. Instead the sound of a young child's voice was heard.

"Nii-Chan!!" Makoto's young voice called, "Nii-Chan!! Nee-Chan broke Shika!" He stated, as he was carried into the room by the blonde haried woman that had supposedly 'broken' Shikamaru.

Gaara looked at his sister, a slightly confused look on his face. Temari smirked shaking her head, mouthing, 'He's fine,' to her younger brother. The pregnant blonde then raised an eyebrow looking from her brother to the blushing female doctor in the room. "Is something wrong in here?" she asked, slightly worried for her young brother's health.

Both red-heads shook their heads. The female doctor was still not wanting to look at Gaara. Temari's guess was that, that was to try to hide the raging blush on her cheeks. The room was slightly quiet for a good 30 minutes before the white haired 6 year old broke the silence, with his words of wisdom.

"Nee-Chan" he whispered, or atleast tried to whisper, to Temari, "Nii-Chan doesnt know Red-chan's name..." he then looked at her, his voilet eyes widened. "Should I tell him Nee-Chan?" his voice no longer trying be a quiet whisper. The 6 year old had yet to figure out the arts of whispering, for now both red-heads were no longer looking at eachother, and cheeks beared the color of Haruno Sakura's hair color. Temari laughed slightly at the sight being played out before her, and poor Makoto was confused. Why was his older sister laughing? And why were both his big brother and the doctor's cheek red. Then his eyes grew wide with fear, pointing an accusing finger at both Gaara and Red. "You're sick! You gotta lay down before you get worse!" he shouted, "Nee-Chan, Nii-Chans got a fever, 'cause his cheeks are pink, and so does Red-Chan! We gotta help them!" his voice now full of worry.

Temari shook her head, "No Makoto, they're not sick." She then put the 6year old down, so he could walk. "Although I'm sure they need some time alone." Her face sported a very sly smile on it, as she looked from the 6 year old to her red-headed brother. "Would you like some alone time with Red-chan?" she asked, emphasizing on the 'chan,' she noticed the blush deepen on said woman. She laughed more, now holding her buldging stomach. Oh how she loved teasing her little brother...

Gaara shot a glare at his sister, but was unable to speak, afraid his voice would squeak - and he, the Kazekage of Suna, would not allow his voice to squeak. Of course, this only caused Temari to laugh more.

Makoto looked up at his sister, blinking his eyes a few times. "Nee-Chan...are you okay?" he asked, tugging at her red obi that was tied along her stomach. "Why are you laughing so much?" he asked, now wondering if he should just join in and start laughing.

Finally able to find her voice, the blushing female doctor bowed slightly. "I..I really should g-go to my other patents." She then looked at the small white haired child, bending down, to become eyelevel with him, a slight smile on her face, "I'm glad to see your walking around, but please...take it easy. You worried your big brother while you were gone. Also, please let me know if anything is wrong. Kay?"

Makoto nodded, a smile on his face now, "Ariagto Red-chan," he then leaned closer to the red haired womans ear, again, trying to whisper, "Dont worry, I'll talk to Nii-chan for you..." he then stood back straight up, moving away from her ear, now noticing the womans face was as red as her own hair. He blinked his violet eyes a few times. "Did I say something wrong Red-chan?" he then put his tiny hand on her forehead. "Or are you still sick? Maybe you should lay down Red-shan," he stated, trying to help his doctor.

Red quickly shook her head, standing up quickly, not even trying to look at the Kazekage, nor his sisiter. "I'll...I'll come check on you later," with that said, she bowed quickly and left the room, barely missing a collision with Kankuro and Shikamaru in the hallway.

"What was that about?" Kankuro asked as he jammed a thumb towards the direction of the blushing doctor. "She nearly ran into us in the hall way, and her face...well it looked like she had been out in the sun for too long." he then looked over at his young red-haired brother, who looked slightly confused. "What'd you say to her Gaara?" he asked, automatically accusing the kage.

Gaara looked at his brother, shaking his head. "It wasn't what I said," He stated. Proud that he was able to speak without a single studder or squeak in his tone.

Kankuro then looked over at his sister, who'm was trying her hardest to contain her laughter. "What the hell happened?" he asked, "Ita!" he grunted, grabbing his shin, then looking down at the small child, who was glaring up at him.

The white-haired boy shook a finger at the puppet-master. "No naughty words infront of Nee-chan's baby!" he huffed, then crossed his arms, "How you gonna take care of Awaii-chan's baby when you say naughty words all the time?"

Kankuro's body quickly tensed as he heard what his brother had just said. 'Damn it, did I really think about that? I really need to learn to control what I'm thinking around him,' he thought to himself, definately not wanting to look at any of his siblings or future brother-in-law.

Gaara cleared his throat, his arms crossed, staring at his brother, slightly relieved the attention was now off of him. "Kankuro, is there something your not telling us?" He asked, already knowing the answer to his own question.


-End of chapter. I'm super sorry if this is too short. But I typed this without writing any of it down...so this is all off the top of my head. I'll try to write the next chapter soon! I enjoyed writing this chapter. I was going to write a bigger scene with Red and Gaara, but I just had to add Makoto!! I mean, he's just soo adorible!! At least thats what I think. Okay, I know I'm totally getting off track on what I had this story started as. But, I'm having trouble figuring out how to explain Makoto's mind readint stuff. But once I do figure it out, you'll know, then you'll all be like 'OHH that sound super smart!" and I'll be super happy! Anyways, tell me what you think. And yes, Red is based off of my good friend...well she's actually her character...but I stole her for this-and many other-fanfics. Now...if only I could figure out a way to put Hissori in here without the three of us taking over the fanfic...heehee, dont worry I wont do that. This fanfic is manly of the Sand Siblings...Okay, I guess thats all for time I'm gonna have to thank Red for betaing for me. So thank you Red!! And until next time...please review telling me what you think.-
