Chapter Nine
Reaction
What the fuck? Did she? Did she just? What the fuck?
Gaara is confused. And more than a little surprised. Seconds ago he had had his broken hand wrapped around her pretty little neck. Now, he is backing away because the crazy girl had kissed him.
Sakura smiles at him. "You're a whole lot less scary when you're scurrying away."
Is that why she did it? Is she toying with me?
Gaara's face clouds with anger. "I did not scurry." What the fuck is wrong with this girl? She should be trembling in fear.
"Yes you did." A playful smirk lights her face. "Who'd of thought that big, bad Gaara is scared of a little kiss?"
"I'm not frightened of a kiss." He snarls. "Did it never occur to you that kissing you is extremely unappealing?" Not that it was. In fact, Gaara thought it was rather nice. He might have even done it again if the girl in question wasn't so irritating.
"Oh. I see." Ha. That would show her. She looks at him questioningly. "So you're gay?"
What the fuck? Did she? Did she just? What the fuck?
"No, I'm not gay. I'm just not interested in moronic girls who try to kiss the people threatening them. You some kind of masochist or something?" Of course Gaara isn't enjoying this bantering at all. He isn't wearing a smirk similar to hers, because no one would ever call Gaara or any expression he is capable of making playful. There isn't a slight teasing in his tone, because Gaara threatens, he intimidates; he doesn't tease.
"Maybe. Why are you some kind of sadist or something?" Sakura replies.
Because Gaara hadn't been joking, because he hadn't been smiling at the weird pink haired girl, because he isn't capable of playfulness or teasing, he certainly doesn't change his expression when she asks her question. "Yes. I am." His eyes narrow and his tone makes it perfectly clear that this is not, could never, be a joke.
Sakura rolls her eyes. "You're really bad at flirting. You know that, right?"
"I wasn't flirting." He responds morosely. "We should start working on our project, the library closes in a forty-five minutes." With that he walks away into the stacks.
What are you doing? Go back! She an attractive young girl, go back there and fuck her brains out! Then kill her! It'll be fun, I promise!
I've heard the "pleasures" of sex. They usually end with the girl crying herself to sleep and asking god why it happened to her.
That's just your father's way of doing things. And even if it does, why do you care what happens to some girl?
It doesn't matter. I don't care either way.
Liar.
I'm done with this.
You're a monster, Gaara. A killer. Why should the appellation "rapist" bother you any more than the others? Give me some time, you'll get there. You'll get there.
"NO!" Gaara cries, covering his ears with his hands. Eyes shut tightly, hands pressed firmly to his ears, brow furrowed in his attempt not to hear. A hand grabs his right shoulder. Pain filled jade eyes snap open. Gaara whirls to face the hand's owner. His right hand speeds from his ear, knocking the arm out of his way, to the throat in front of him. Bones pop as they slide out of place. His abnormally long canines are revealed as he bares his teeth. A low growl rumbles in his throat. Jade meets emerald.
Gaara drops his hand. "I'm sorry. I…I…I need to go." Gaara runs from the pink haired green eyed girl; from the concern and fear in her beautiful eyes; from the temptation of her flesh, her blood.
Baki is waiting for him when bursts out of the doors. "Sir, is something wrong?"
Gaara moves past him and climbs into the shiny black car. "Just drive."
Baki is a man accustomed to following orders, that's why Mr. Subaku hired him. To follow orders and not ask questions. So Baki gets behind the wheel and drives.
AN: Sorry it's short. Ah well, Saku's up next. It can only get better! No, seriously how could it get worse? Yay for Gaasaku! Yay for me for writing Gaasaku! Yay for you for reading Gaasaku! Yay for Kishimoto for inventing Gaara and Sakura so there could be Gaasaku!
