Chapter 7 : Smile

by Akizu Miko

I don't own any characters except for Akizu.

"I don't sleep" He said flatly placing his hands over his head.

"Auw, my poor baby! Should I stay up with you and keep you company?" The black haired girl latched onto her masters arm.

"Don't play with me" He gave her a glance and then tried to pry her off.

"So you want to get straight to it?" She lifted an eyebrow and giggled at his face. He began to blush.

"No"

"You want to see something cool? I can make you change you're emotion!"

"How…" He figured he'd at least humor her.

"Just watch. Seishinryoku" Gaara watched as her eyes glazed over and turned pink. He felt like a weight was lifted of his shoulders. She blinked a few times and began to giggle. (Seishinryoku-strength of emotion)

"Do you feel happy?"

"No" He lied.

"You know I can just use Joucho G-" She was cut off by his hand covering her mouth.

"I said you can't use that on me" He lowered her to the bed with his hand still on her mouth. As soon as he released her she just laid there with her arms folded.

"Well I don't want to listen to you" She stuck her tongue out at him.

"Behave" Akizu felt her collar tighten for a second.

"Kimi wa petto!" She said happily while trying to ignore the pull on her neck.

The next morning Akizu woke up around 7 to start doing her chores. She went straight to the bathroom to washed her face and brush her teeth. Then she got her apron on and went back to the still meditating Gaara's room.

"Wake up Master" She whispered from his side while gently putting her fingers through his hair. She just loved to do that. He woke up from his trance at her touch and saw her already in his closet.

"Here, get dressed. I'll be making breakfast for you if you need me" She gave him a big smile and a bow before she left.

He was speechless to say the least. He didn't even have to do anything anymore. Plus she was cute. Someone had a little crush it seemed. Although it was a little out of character for Gaara he wanted to get closer to her. He continued getting ready and sat down at the kitchen table for a few seconds.

"Sorry to make you wait" She put the food down in front of him and then disappeared upstairs to make the bed.

After a few minutes of thinking Gaara knew what he'd do. He'd have Kiba come to Suna to bring Kiroro for Akizu. But Kiba would only stay for the day so that he could ask about Akizu. He had to admit he was jelous of Kiba, having such a girl as Akizu to love him unconditionally. That's all he wanted for his whole life, and still Gaara had never gotten it. Without a word he left to his office for the day. Luckily he only had a half day and was planning on spending the other half getting to know Akizu. Something about her made him so curious. Gaara had so many questions to ask her, there was so much he yearned to know about girls and about her.

Gaara came home to a quiet and clean house. It seemed no one was home until he heard a light exhale from the couch. He began to walk over to see who it was when he saw her get up and rub her eyes.

"Welcome home!" She said nervously while rushing to get up.

"You were sleeping?" He said a little comically.

"Y-yes, I'm sorry…It's just that I worked so hard and just needed to sit down, but then I fell asleep and…" Her words stopped as she watched him make his way toward her and sat on the couch next to her.

"If I sent Kiba would you be…happy" He looked a little disappointed.

"As much as I love him, I don't think that's a good idea but I would like Kiroro to come here soon" She sat with her hands neatly folded in her lap.

"She'll be here by tomorrow" He said while he made his way out of the room to go upstairs.

"Really?!" She ran after him and followed him to the bedroom.

He nodded while changing his shirt to a more comfy one as Akizu jumped up and down.

"Have I been that good a girl? I'm so excited, I want to burn off all this energy!" Akizu said while getting out a short kimono with tights underneath to train in.

"Follow me" He led her out of the room with a smirk on his face. In the back of the house was a small clearing surrounded by trees and a man made river on one side.

"Whoa! This is perfect, do you want to train too?" She sat down on the floor and began stretching out.

"…sure" A little aprehensive but it was a start.

Without any warning a few minutes later Akizu came charging at him at the speed of light with four kunai in one hand. Like a bolt of lighting she sent them flying right at him.

"Gotcha" Akizu's white eyes seemed to gleam with happiness until the sand blocked all the kunai without Gaara even having to blink an eye.

"What the hell! Come on!" She came running again with four more kunai but she didn't throw them. When she was mere inches from him she just stood their staring with a funny look.

"I won" Gaara heard something whisper from behind. Somehow she got a shadow clone to distract him while she sneaked up behind and now she had a kunai to his neck.

"No" A blast of sand knocked her back and all the way into the river. A big splash disturbed the area.

"Ahh!" Akizu was laying on her back freaking out.

"You lose" He said while walking over to the river.

"Thanks a lot, now I'm all wet!" She began to yell as she splashed in the river like a little kid. Akizu barely saw a small smile grace his features.

"I did it! I made you smile and didn't even have to take my clothes off!" She ran from the river and straight to her master to hug him.

"You're getting me wet" Still, no anger played in his voice.

"I know!" She giggled into his chest. Even though they had only known each other for a short time, she really did adore him.

"Get changed before you get a cold" Was that even possible in Suna?

"Pajama time! Then I'll make you dinner!" She skipped off ahead of him to get started.

-

Without knocking on the door Gaara walked straight in and got out some pajamas and sat on his bed. He didn't realize Akizu sitting there on the futon clad in only a bra and boy shorts.

"So, should I wear this night gown or this pink one?" She held up a white one with blue lace and a pink one with white bows. Gaara turned around realizing she was practically naked and began to ever so lightly blush.

"Cover yourself" He got up and went into the bathroom to change.

"You're the one who walked in on me Mr. pervert" She called out while putting on the white one with the blue. As she was pulling it over her head she sensed him staring. Apparently he had changed in like 20 seconds.

"Or would you rather neither, I mean I could walk around like this if you want" She said sarcastically as the dress was finally on and she saw him laying on his stomach on the bed in only pajama pants.

"That won't be necessary" He said looking up at her eyes.

"Where'd your shirt go?" Akizu said about to leave the room to get dinner started.

"Too hot" He still lay there.

"Why yes, you are" She said with a grin as she closed the door.
