Disclaimer: I have decided that the festival idea I mentioned in my last chapter will be made into its own story. The following chapters will be normal, regular, parodied chapters. Enjoy!

Parody 11: First to Show

Gaara sat in his room reading a Soul Eater manga while listening to his music on his black I-Pod. The thing is, he couldn't focus on his manga. He was more focused on a blonde girl with pigtails, blue eyes, and a lovely singing voice. Suddenly, the notes from a piano started to play from his ear buds.

"I think I remember this song." thought Gaara.

He looked at his I-Pod screen to check what song was playing. It was the instrumental version of Three Days Grace's "Last to Know."

"I wonder. . ." thought Gaara. He closed his eyes and listened to the song notes. When he started to open his mouth, this was what he sang.

She just came my way

Why did she come here?

And where do I go tonight

Is this really happening to me?

It's really happening to me?

She didn't say a line

Just came into my life

You were the first to say

You really liked my name

You were the first to cry

When you heard that I died

You are my first crush

I hope you'll be-e mine

And when she comes right back home

I'll be the first to show

Why can't she tell me?

What I want to know

She didn't say a line

She just came into my life

You were the first to say

You really liked my name

You were the first to cry

When you heard that I died

You are my first crush

I hope you'll be-e mine

And when she comes right back home

I'll be the first to show

Guitar interlude

I'll be the first to say

I understand your pain

And for the first time

I see your beautiful eyes

This is my first love

You are the one for me

And when I come right back home

I hope you're the first to show

I'll be the first to say

I understand your pain

And for the first time

I see your beautiful eyes

This is my first love

You are the one for me

And when I come right back home

I hope you're the first to show.

As soon as the song ended, Gaara turned his I-Pod off and took off his ear buds. He sat up to see a teary-eyed Izuka standing at the doorway, awestruck.

"Izuka?" asked Gaara as his face started to turn strawberry red.

"Oh, sorry, I couldn't help but listen in. I'll just leave you alone." said Izuka in a choked-up voice. She turned to leave, but couldn't move her foot. She looked down to see some of Gaara's sand gently encircling her ankle. She looked up at Gaara's reddened face.

"Can we talk?" asked Gaara nervously as his face darkened to a beet red color.

"Um, sure." said Izuka in a timid manner.

Gaara commanded his sand to let go of Izuka's ankle and back into its gourd. Izuka walked over to Gaara and sat at the edge of his bed, her stare facing the ground.

For the next couple of minutes, the two sat in silence as Izuka twiddled her fingers and Gaara calmed himself down. When he felt that his face was no longer red, he turned to look at Izuka, who was still facing the ground.

"It doesn't really help the conversation if you're facing the ground." said Gaara matter-of-factly.

"That's true, but so far, there hasn't been a conversation to begin with." returned Izuka.

"Touché." said Gaara.

After a few minutes of more silence, Gaara decided to take the initiative. He took Izuka's right hand in his.

"Gaara?" asked Izuka as she looked up to see Gaara's sincere eyes, surprised at his sudden boldness.

Gaara decided to start the conversation with a question. "Izuka, how long have we known each other?"

"Ever since we've first met back during the Chunnin Exams in Konoha three years ago." said Izuka instantly. Gaara smirked at her response

"That's true, but can you guess when I first realized my feelings for you?" he asked as a faint pink blush appeared across his cheeks.

"No" said Izuka as a pink blush of her own appeared on her cheeks.

"You see Izuka, when we first met, I only viewed you as a part of a mission. I already knew you were a jinchuriki like me at the time, the thing is, I never realized how well I connected with you. Not because we were viewed as monsters, but because you related to me on so many different levels. You like the music I like, you like the books I like, heck, you even like gizzard tongue, which is a rarity in the girls I've met." vented Gaara.

Izuka sat in silence as Gaara talked, trying to comprehend the words that he was saying.

"What I'm trying to say is you understand me way better than anyone else in my life. Not Naruto, not my siblings, but you Izuka." said Gaara.

Izuka shook her head. "Gaara, what are you getting at?"

"Maybe it's better if I showed you." said Gaara with a sigh.

Gaara dropped his grip on Izuka's hand. He instead moved his hands to Izuka's head and held her face in his hands.

"Gaara?" she managed to whispered before she was cut off by Gaara's lips gently kissing hers.

Izuka went wide-eyed in amazement at Gaara's sudden boldness, but it was soon replaced with contentment at the kiss. She closed her eyes as she melted into the kiss. She started to encircle her arms around his neck while Gaara moved his hands from Izuka's face to her slender hips.

The kiss lasted for another minute before the two broke apart to catch their breaths. Still holding onto each other, Izuka smirked at Gaara.

"That was better than I expected." she said as she looked up into Gaara's jade green eyes.

Gaara smirked back at her. "Likewise." he said in return.

"You know we can't go out with this publicly, right." Izuka suddenly said.

Gaara leaned his forehead onto Izuka's in slight frustration.

"I know," he said. "But I don't mind us being in a private relationship. Besides, if I am allowed just to hold you like this for a few seconds a day, then it's fine by me."

Izuka gave him a big grin that showed her gleaming smile and pointy fangs. Gaara felt like his heart skipped a beat seeing Izuka smile, which she barely did in public. As Gaara closed his eyes and leaned his face in for another kiss, Izuka stopped his head from moving any further. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Izuka's eyes were full of suspicion.

"What is it?" he said with his mind.

"Thanks to my vampire sensitive hearing, I currently hear two idiots in your closet." she responded.

Gaara followed Izuka's gaze to his closet, where he saw a dim light emanating from the bottom of the closet door. He turned back to his friend-turned-girlfriend.

"Leave it to me." he said with his mind.

Gaara took one hand off of Izuka's hip and commanded his sand to go into the closet. Soon enough, a high pitched scream emanated from said closet and it wasn't from Temari.

Kankuro jumped out of the closet covered in sand while holding his video camera in one hand. Temari soon came out after him, also covered in sand, but she was holding a voice recorder.

Gaara broke his embrace with Izuka and walked over to his siblings. He made his sand tighten its hold on his brother and sister so that they both stood in place.

"Why are you two hiding in my closet?" asked Gaara in a very cold tone that could bring Toshiro Hitsugaya to shame.

"Look Gaara, we only hid in your closet to see if we can catch you singing a parody, but apparently we got more than we bargained for." said Kankuro with a smirk.

"It took us six hours of hiding in your closet, but we finally got it." added Temari.

Gaara nodded his head in understanding. He took the voice recorder and video camera out of his siblings' hands and gave them to Izuka, who crushed them in her bare hands using her vampire strength.

"OUR STUFF!" yelled Temari and Kankuro in unison.

"What you got on us will now never be revealed to the public." said Gaara as he gave his siblings a murderous glare.

"On the contrary, dear brother." said Kankuro as he moved his head over to the closet.

Gaara raised an invisible eyebrow at him before he walked into his closet, where he found Kankuro's laptop still on. He picked it up to see the YouTube page playing a video. Gaara looked on in horror as he witnessed the video of Izuka and himself kissing each other played on the screen.

It was official: Temari and Kankuro succeeded in getting a video of him and Izuka hooking up and uploading it on YouTube. Gaara and Izuka were officially their executioners.

"Gaara, what's going on?" asked Izuka as she entered the closet. Gaara replayed the video, from him singing his parody on his feelings for Izuka to them kissing.

Izuka was stunned into silence.

The two walked back out into Gaara's room and stood face to face with the older teens.

"So what do you think of the latest video?" It's already got 15 million hits and it's rapidly going up." said Kankuro.

"In my opinion, I think it's good for you two to put your love out there. You guys need to show the world that you're the next power couple!" said Temari way too excitedly.

Izuka and Gaara gave each other blank stares before turning their attention back on to the other siblings.

"You crush your brother, I shock your sister?" asked Izuka.

"Good enough for me." said Gaara as he raised his outstretched hand.

"Oh . . ." said Kankuro

"HELL!" screamed Temari as she finished Kankuro's sentence.

And for the rest of the day, the Sand Siblings' residence was filled with shouts of pain from the older siblings and shouts of profanities from the younger ones.

End of parody 11

A/N: Kankuro and Temari are so cruel, wouldn't you agree? They deserve their punishment. Please review and leave song suggestions.

Toshiro Hitsugaya belongs to the Bleach creator Tite Kubo.

"Last to Know" belongs to Three Days Grace. "First to Show" is my parody of it.
