Gaara POV oh what fun u
So here I was, watching hold the door open for the "visitors." yeah whatever, Ide rather my time be occupied with getting to know her better. Did I just think that? What the hell? Anyways.. As soo as the door opened I heard a loud annoying voice.
"Sakura!!" then the i saw a annoying person jump and throw his arms around my Sakura! My fist clenched tightly as I watched from the top of the stairs.
'Easy boy..down..' Shukakau being stupid again. I gritted my teeth and watched as she hugged him back. They exchanged happy conversation and what not.
"Come one guys! Time for dinner!" I slowly trudged to the kitched where Temari was waiting with food.
I sat down infront of Sakura, while the blonde idiot sat BESIDE her. I mentally kicked myself for not takeing the seat.
I slowly ate, watching his every move, hearing his everyword. Holding myself back fro everytime he looked at her with those eyes.
'Those eyes?' Shukaku asked me, he was obviously oblivious to the 'eyes' Naruto was giving Sakura.
'Dude. What are the 'eyes?' he exagerated on the quotations by moving his paws.
I explained it simply. He looks at her a certain way. His eyes become soft and ... I dont know. Its just annoying.
'Then why dont you try it? Shukaku suggested.
I thought about it. No. I refuse. I got up and put my sidhes in the sink and left to my bedroom.
Sakura POV
Naruto was telling me about how him and kiba went to the park and almost got runover by some..I dont really remember what it was. I looked up to see Gaara leaving the room. Probably to his room. But I dont really know. I looked back to Naruto smiling, secretly wondering why Gaara had left so suddenly.
'I hope hes not sick..' I thought.
Then naruto interupted me by telling me that he and kiba also met two pretty girls and how he had a crush on one of them. I giggled.
Everyones Inner thoughts right now!
Kiba: I wonder if that pretty blonde girl will be there tomarrow..god she was beautiful, I wonder how she Died. Hehe..No wonder shes drop 'dead' gorgeous.
Temari: Ok..I dont think i put eggs in this..what is that weird yellow?..Mleh. pokeing it with the fork didnt help. i think its just multiplied.
Naruto: Oh my gosh! Sakura giving me tips to get the black haired girl! yes!..oh my god! I already the first three!! Gah! Remember Naruto!! Oh my gosh! I just missed two more!!
Kankuro: Im a little tea pot, short and stout. here is my handle here is my spout.
End to that!
Nomal POV!
Temari set her dishes in the sink and turned to everyone.
"Ok! Nows to put my special plan into action!" that got everyones attention. All eyes focused on her, as she sat on the edge of the counter.
"Umm since my house only has four rooms, we'll be shareing! Naruto and kiba can have Sakuras room and Sakura can stay with Gaara." she said simply.
"What!? Why is Sakura staying with Gaara?" asked kankuro, stareing wide-eyed at his siter.
"Simple. Im haveing Shika over tonight. The two boys will be i one room already, and gaara doesnt like strangers."
"Why cant she stay with me?" Kankuro asked, looking at Sakura with a smirk.
"Because your a crazy pervert." Stated Temari as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. It really was.
Sakura nodded her face red. From embbarasment or anger Temari didnt know. She just thought she was cute.
Sakura made her way to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Everyone had gone to the rooms excpet her. She let her fingers linger on the door handle, looking down tha hallway at gaaras bedroom door.
"I guess it cant be helped.." she shrugged and went into the bathroom.
Gaara was laying in his bed thinking when he heard a quiet knock at his door. Groaning he got up and opened it to see the pink-haired girl standing there, her hair in a loose pony tail, dripping wet, and wrapped in a towel.
"Umm..Umm" She stuttered, her face on the floor, beat red.
Gaara only stared at her, watching and capturing ever sliding water droplet with his eyes, cascading down her little figure.
"D-do you..have a shirt or something?..she said in a quiet voice, loking up at him with her big green eyes.
"Oh ho ho!" saounded Kankuro sleepily form his door, he eyes Sakura up and down, as she turned away from him, trying to hide herself within the dark aura around gaara, who was feircly glareing at his brother.
He quikly pulled her inside the room, ignoring the 'way to go bro!' coming form the hallway.
"I-im sorry, its just..naruto and kiba are already asleep.and.."
"Its fine." his voice was almost in audible, he turned in his closet looking at shirts.
She stood there akwardly, looking down at her feet. A huge shirt was put into her arms. She said thankyou and walked into his closet and shut the door.
'NOOO! You were suppsed to change out here!' complained shukaku with anime tears falling fomr his eyes.
'Shut up. I will not have change infront of me...thats rude.' Gaara said climbing into his bed, burying his face in the pillow. He heard the door click and looked up. Was he finally in heaven?
Sakura stood there, in the long red shirt shirt, it hugged her figure, and the sleeves hung a little over her small hands. Her long pink hair fell down, framing her face, her eyes shining brightly, almost glwing in the moonlight. Her pale skin was flawless and covered in bruises, Gaara noticed this. His eyes went further down and he couldnt help hold in a snicker. There she was wearing a pair of his black boxers and his shirt.
"Umm..I-Im..uhh" she brought her hand to the back of her head and smmiled sheepishly, "Im supposed to sleep with you."
Shukaku let out a squeal of joy that rang all thoguout Gaaras head and fainted.
'She didnt mean it like that you perveted coon.' Gaara glared at the twitching demon, lying on the floor with hearts in his eyes.
"What do you mean Sakura?" Gaara asked, siting up on his bed.
"Umm well Temari said I could sleep in here, since naruto and kiba were in my room. If you want Kankuro ofere-
"Hell no. Not with that pervert." Stated gaara glareing through the door, to wherever his brother was.
Kankuro was in the kitchen stealing some of Temaris cookies when a cold shiver ran up his spine. 'Hmm..Gaaras sending me Ill intentions again..' He scurried off to his room, with the purple jar of cookies.
"Then its ok?.." Sakura asked, hopeing he would say yes, considering she was very sleepy.
He nodded and she made her way over to the side of the bed, stealing two pillows.
"What are you doing?.." he asked, looking at the two pillows.
"I need them to put them down here ofcourse.." she stated simply lieing them on the floor then lieing on them, curled into a litle ball.
She looked up to see two jade orbs looking down at her form the bed. She stared right back, "What is it?"
"Im not haveing a guest in my room sleep on the floor." he said takeing her arm and pulling her up onto the bed. she squeaked in response.
"A-are you sure?" she askek, stareing donw at her shirt.
"Hn. Its big enough for the both of us, so dont worry. Beside I dont sleep much anyways." with that he layed down on his side, facing away form her.
She slowly slunked down into the covers, pulling them up to cover her mouth and curling into a litle ball.
Her back bumped his and she mumbled a quick 'Sorry' and got a 'Hn.' in reply.
Gaara eyes, were wide opened, why oin the hell was his heart beating so fast? He cursed the wrold of the dead for not removing it from his ice chest. It was the only thing he hated. The only he couldnt control. He glared as he imagined a picture of his heart daning and parading around like an idiot. Shukaku snickered quietly.
"Hey gaara.." came her soft voice.
"Aa.." he answered, letting her know he was listening.
"..why was your dad..like that?.." she asked, almost scared of what he would do.
He sighed, "i..dont know.."
"Oh.." she let a few seconds of silence pass by.
"Hey gaara?.." she asked once more. She was turned to where she was facing his back now.
"Aa.."
"Did you ever get hurt badly..when you were little?.." she asked, noting how the ghost in the world, after thye came here, all thier scras and marking would disspear. Allowing them to have a new life, like their old one.
"...Once.." he answered, he raised his free hand to trace an imaginary line across and down his shoulder, "it was in boot camp..I fell from the cliff we were repelling from...I woke up in the hospital a week later."
Sakuars eyes widened,..'Oh.." she snuggled her face into the pillow, 'I should stop asking him questions..'
'Cha! you should definately stop!! Im tired!!OHHH!! Cuddle up to him! Lets see his reaction!!' Inner Sakura exclaimed, pumping her fist into the air.
'No, I dont want to wind up getting kicked out in the middle of the night..'
"Hey Sakura.." Gaara's voice ripped Sakura away form her thoughts.
"UhYes?.." she answered quietly.
"Where did you get those marking from?.." he asked camly.
Her hand went straight to her neck and down her arms, "Oh these?..No worry..just some people.." she answered back, smiling at his back.
"Who were they?.." he asked, he didnt know why but for some reason hearing all this bothered him alot. Someone had beaten her. If he were alive they would be dead.
She looked down at her pillow, "Just some people..from school..I guess they dont really like me.." she said quietly.
She felt the bed move and looked up to see Gaara now facing her. Wow, was he close, she felt her heart beat grow faster.
'Omg! Kiss him or somehting!!' Inner Sakura screamed over and over, Sakura ignored her.
"Why dont they like you?.." he asked quietly, not believling thye didnt like her. What wasnt to like?...
"well..when i was alive..i could..see you guys..ghost.." she stated, looking at him.
He nodded for her to go on.
"They didnt like that..they called me a liar..weird..and they..uhh would beat me.." she said the last part even more quietly, "But its not a big deal..really..Im used to it..ever since my parents died.."
"Your parents died?" he asked, "When?" he suddenly felt bad for her. Having to deal with all that, and being hated. She didnt deserve it.
She smiled, "Whe i was little..but its alright..I got to see them.." she said, remembering her mother and father.
It was funny to her. Before she came here, she was sad, alone, getting beat by the girls and being ignored by the one person she ever loved.
Then whie shes been here, shes been happy. She had everyone here with her. If someon so much as glared at her Temari would throw a fit and Gaara would glare back, makeing themrun away scared. Now she was even talking to the person she...loved?
'I love gaara?'
'Ohyesh you do..' said Inner Sakura with a big smile.
'But why?..'
'Im not really sure myself, but think about it. Who has been the first one that pops into your head when you wake up since we got here?'
'...Gaara..'
'and who is the person you think about before you fall asleep?'
'...Gaara..'
'Whos normally the only person you want to see or talk to in the day?'
Sakura hated to say it, '..Gaara..'
'and..whois the one that can make your heart skip a beat with one look, or gesture towards you?'
'..Gaara..' Sakuras eyes widened.
'and whos the one..you feel most safe around..the one you want to always be around?..'
'Gaara..'
'Now..who do love?.'
"Gaara.." Sakura said outloud in realization.
Inner Sakura nodded her and closed her eyes with a smile. 'Im so smart!!'
"he opened his eyes, "Hmm?.."
She looked at him, "nothing..sorry.."
"What did you mean..you got to see them?." gaara sked, looking at her.
She stred at him for a second, "Oh, my parents..I saw them when they were leaving the hospital..my guess is that thye came here..' she said smiling. She was glad they ended up here, and hope they were ok. She hated to admit it, but sleep was overcoming her, she took one last look at the red-head, then stared down at her sirt once more.
"Aa.." Was all he said.
'Boy?..' Shukaku asked, pokeing Gaara on the forhead.
'What?' gaara growled.
'Why are you still stareing at her?..' Shukaku asked innocently.
Gaara realized he was still stareing at her smiling face as she looked down at the bedHe looked away quickly.
'Why is your heart beating so fast?..'Shukaku wondered outloud.
'I was hopeing you could tell me..' Stated gaara, sighing inwardly.
'Only thing I know is what I heard from your sister.' stated Shukaku.
'My sister?..what was that?..' gaara asked.
'Well you heard it on the outside, but she said. It does that when you really like someone. Love someone. hmm do you love Sakura?' shukaku asked, stealing a peek at Sakura, her eyes half lidded now, her breathing steadying.
'No! Thats..thats..'
'Its what? Impossible? Dude seriously. When are you going to get over that?..'
'I dont know.'
'You so stubborn.'
'Hn.'
'But seriously...tell me..what do you really think of her?..' Shukaku said, his tone serious, which kind of scared gaara a little. He was never really serious.
'...shes really pretty...short...smart..kind...her skin is soft...her eyes are..amazing..shes gentle...understanding..' Garaa stopped, when on earth did he take the time to notice all these things?
'Hmm..wow you sure pay alot of attention to her dont you?..'
'No.'
'Then why are you stareing once more?..your hand is even caressingher cheek..' Shukaku stated, shaking his head slowly.
A wave of panic shot through gaara and he quickly yankned the offending hand of his from Sakuras sleeping form.
'Shut up.'
'Face it kid. Your inlove. And for the first time I might add. Thats a shock. I thought you would never fall inlove..' Shukaku said amazed, back to himself.
Gaara rolled his eyes..maybe he could..acknoledge the feeling inside of him..even a little bit. He smiled.
He closed his eyes, thinking of how tomarrow would probably be akward, he opened them again. Skura wa sleeping, her hair scattered all over her face. He smoothed it out and removed the stands from her face and forhead. Then without knowing what he was doing, he tilted his head down and touched his lips to her forhead for and instant and sat back once more.
'Why did I just do that?..' he asked himself, shocked.
'Well when people are inlove..they do crazy things.'Shukaku said sipping tea.
Gaara roled hsi eyes and was about to make a sarcastic comment, when his whole body went rigid.
He looked down as Sakura curked up closer to him, their bodies touching. She snuggled into his chest closely. Gaara sta there horrified, then calmed down.
'Oh my..' Shukaku stated, stareing wide-eyed, 'You have to be the luckiest guy in the world.'..
Gaarajust 'Hn-ed' and wrapped his arms around the girls body, apparently she wanted warmth. He wouldnt deny her that. He watched as the clouds went by out the window, wondering what morning would bring.
