Chapter Seven
Boyfriend
Lonely, oh so lonely, DarknessSuicide here and it's like 1:30 in the morning on a Sunday night and I'm sitting in my room all alone, waiting for four o'clock to come around so I can get up and take a shower before getting ready for school and so I decided to write. LightTorture is not here, she is at her house (pout) probably sleeping by now, after all, if she's on past midnight her allowance gets docked.
Oh, but guess what? As of November 19, 2006 at 7:02 and 7:03 I am a very proud aunt of twins! They're still in the hospital, but they're in the normal baby section, not the premature baby section. We're so proud of them! Oh, but I am also sad because I'm catching a cold so I cannot go visit them until I get better, also, their mother, my oldest sister, is moving out with her husband tomorrow. It's very depressing but I won't let that get to me in this chapter, because cupid is here, and how can anything be sad when cupid is around, right?
Li Yue Ting and Wu Guang Zhao begin their decorating of the tower, after all, with no guidance there to tell them 'no,' they can do whatever they want.
Just outside of the tower is this mote type thing filled with fish, so the girls go outside and catch a bunch, placing them inside a huge container filled with water. Once inside, they begin filling odd containers with water and place a single fish within each container, using these to decorate the rooms of the tower. Four fish to a room, one for every corner.
When they're finished with that, they decide that the rooms are much too clean for their liking, it reminds them too much of the hospital, which it most certainly is not! So, to remedy the situation, they go outside and gather up dirt in a container, returning to the tower and spreading the dry dirt on the floors of the tower. Next, they go out and gather up a few containers of mud, one container of semi-wet mud, one of wet-wet mud, and one of the kid on mud you use for sand castles. They take these containers back into the tower, and their fun continues.
With the semi-wet mud they decorate the furniture, that way it's not too wet to sit on, but it's still wet enough to stick to clothes.
With the wet-wet mud they make fake welcome mats at every door to trick people so that they have to track mud even farther into the building. And just to make it look even more believable, they spell out the word 'WELCOME' in pieces of leaves and put up signs that ask people to remember to wipe their feet upon entering the tower.
And finally, with the sand castle making mud, they, of course, make sand castles in the center of every room, occasionally making a mer-creature that is swimming in or out of them, or even just sitting on them.
Then, deciding that there is too much brown, they go out and retrieve leaves from trees of all kinds and shades. They string these together in patterns that only they can understand and hang them around the rooms, some strands going around the perimeter, and some extending across the room in an 'X' pattern, or even a star pattern.
By the time they are finished, Raido has returned with permission from the Third.
"WHAT HAVE YOU TWO DONE?!" he screams as soon as he enters.
"It's called improvement, Raido-san," Li Yue Ting points out.
"And don't you dare mess it up, either!" Wu Guang Zhao orders. "We worked hard on this!"
"Oh, don't worry, I'm not gonna pick it up, you are, and before Anko-san gets here and sees this mess," Raido demands.
"Nope," the two girls shake their heads, "it looks better this way."
Raido sighs in defeat as he finds himself a semi-clean/safe area to relax for the time being. The girls get bored and wind up drifting off to sleep for a while until they are woken up by Raido.
"Hey, Anko-san is here, and she's not looking so good," he tells them softly.
"What?" Wu Guang Zhao asks, shooting up immediately.
"What's wrong, Kaa-san?" Li Yue Ting asks as they run to Anko's side.
Anko's holding her shoulder in pain as she sits on the couch.
"Don't worry about it, girls," Anko sighs. "But, what did you do to my tower?"
"We decorated," the girls respond, not really hyper due to the sight of their mother-like figure in pain.
"Well, undecorated it," Anko sighs.
"Anko-san, you have to see this," a ninja informs her as he brings in a tape.
He pops it into the VCR and it shows the red head with the guard attached to his back, named Gaara, and his teammates/siblings.
"Hey, it's Make-Up Man," Li Yue ting points out. "Is he already here? Why didn't anyone tell me? He's fun to be with."
"Fun to be with?" Anko cocks an eyebrow. "What is he, your boyfriend?"
Li Yue Ting pauses for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, yes he is, Make-Up Man is my boyfriend."
"Does he know that?" Raido asks.
"I don't know, I'll go ask," Li Yue Ting smiles as she gets up and starts heading for the door.
"Don't forget to check him for injuries!" Raido shouts after her.
"Um, Kaa-san, what's a boyfriend?" Wu Guang Zhao asks, titling her head.
Anko flushes, she hadn't expected them to ever ask, there was no way she would be able to explain things.
"Um, good question, I'm sure Raido with be happy to explain it to you while I have an important conversation with Hokage-sama," Anko passes off the responsibility as fast as she can.
"What? Why me?" Raido complains as Anko and the Third disappear, leaving him alone with the full attention of Wu Guang Zhao.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Li Yue Ting charges towards Gaara with a huge grin on her face as she calls to him:
"Make-Up Man Boyfriend! I knew you would be the first one here!"
Gaara's blonde haired sister Temari, steps aside, as does the brother, Kankuro, expecting Gaara's sand to protect him as it always does. However, the sand never reacts. Li Yue Ting tackles Gaara to the ground in a hug.
"Boyfriend! Boyfriend! Boyfriend!" she chants as she rubs her cheek against his.
Gaara is too shocked to do anything, and that goes double for his siblings.
Boyfriend? I wasn't even aware that Gaara knew this girl with the exception of earlier, Temari thinks.
Li Yue Ting sits up on top of Gaara and smiles.
"You're not hurt are you, Boyfriend?" she asks, tilting her head.
How did this happen? Gaara's supposed to repel people, not attract them! Kankuro flips.
"Cat got your tongue, Boyfriend?" Li Yue Ting asks.
What's going on? Why isn't the sand reacting against her? Gaara thinks, still in the state of shock. Even now when I'm trying to control it, the sand does nothing. What's happening?
"Boyfriend?" Li Yue Ting asks, totally worried now. She pulls out her stethoscope and puts it under his shirt.
"Ahh!" Gaara screams as he grabs her hand to stop her. "That's cold," he grunts.
"It is?" she blinks. "I'm sorry, Boyfriend. Are you all better now?" she asks, brushing some of his bangs off of the character on his forehead.
"I'll be even better once you get off of me," he responds.
"Are you sure you're not hurt? You look kind of grumpy," Li Yue Ting points out. "Maybe I should give you a check up, just in case."
"I don't need a-" Gaara starts.
"Uh-uh-uh, Doctor knows best, Boyfriend," Li Yue Ting argues as she puts her stethoscope away. "Now, take off your clothes."
"What?" Gaara's eyes widen.
"I have to give you a check up, so the shirt has to come off," Li Yue Ting explains as she attempts to help.
Gaara struggles to keep his shirt on and his sibling stand aside, completely useless.
Li Yue Ting finally succeeds and Gaara blushes slightly, not really knowing why.
"Oh wow, you're really fit for a twelve-year-old," Li Yue Ting states in an admiring tone. "Just look at these muscles," she states as she traces his muscles with her right index finger. "The Big Baka definitely didn't have muscles like these."
"Are you finished torturing him now, Yue Ting?" Anko asks as she comes down the steps.
"Torture? I'm not torturing Boyfriend. I'm giving him a check up," Li Yue Ting swears.
"Looks like torture to me," Anko mumbles.
"It is not, Kaa-san," Li Yue Ting swears.
"You've got him pinned, shirtless, and it looks like you're searching for a ticklish spot. I'm telling you, it is torture.
"No, I'm just giving him a check up, but then I noticed his muscles, they're so cool! It's rare that I get to see muscles like this in the hospital."
"Well, what's your professional opinion? Is he going to live?" Anko asks.
"Of course, Boyfriend can't die that easily," Li Yue Ting smiles happily.
"Then I think you can release him," the Third states.
"All right," she shrugs as she gets up.
Gaara sits up, puts his shirt back on, and stands up just to have Li Yue Ting cling to his arm two seconds later.
"Boyfriend is so strong and cool!" she announces.
Meanwhile, upstairs Raido is undergoing another form of torture, trying to figure out how to explain what a boyfriend is to Wu Guang Zhao.
