Kumo sat on her bed, staring into the dark as Gaara held her against him, laying his head on her bare shoulder.

She had purposely done this

She wore nothing but her strap-less night gown and silk panties to bed.

Why?

Kumo couldn't remember anymore but the feeling of his skin against her drove her senses crazy.

Kumo turned to Gaara with a gentle smile and ran her hands down his cheek, resulting in him shuttering.

A fit of screaming had woken Kumo and now she felt comfortable, staying up for the rest of the 3 hours in the night.

Accustom to this, her body only needed so much sleep.

"Gaara?" She whispered, trying to turn to him and suddenly he flew back wards from her and slammed his head into the head board.

"Sweet Mother of Polar Bears!" Kumo cried, climbing to his side and looking at his head, it was bleeding, just a bit but enough to sting.

"Oww" He whimpered, rubbing the back of his head before looking up at Kumo who looked over him with concern before nodding and grabbing his hand.

"You need a band-aid but I'm out..." she whispered, standing him up before looking out the window.

Her face was troubled for a bit, as if she was trying to take inventory in her head.

Could she possibly be out of bandaids?

The one person who needed them the most, could be out for once in a long time.

The klutz let her eye twitch as she realized, she was out.

"lets go to the store," she whispered before ripping open the window and pulling Gaara with before leaping out the window.

"FOOLISH GIRL!" He cried, watching her night-gown fly up as she flew down.

He caught her with sand, but it took all of his strength not to shake her silly.

She could have gotten hurt.

"It was the only way out without making noise to your siblings" She giggled, rushing down the street with Gaara in hand.

"They snore too loud to hear" He mocked.

Kumo smiled at him and laughed a bit.

It had been so long since Gaara had heard her laugh.

Kumo looked at him, not looking forward to see where she was going, only to completely forget the door to the store and run right smack into it.

"Oww" She whined, rubbing her nose as she lay on her back, staring at the sky.

"For a second there, I thought we would actually get somewhere without another injury... guess I was wrong" Gaara stated, pulling her up and opening the door for her and watching her rush across the floor.

Kumo was grinning till her feet hit a wet patch.

Kumo slipped and went sliding down the store aisle with a cry for help.

Gaara chased her only to find her in the arms of a girl.

The girl was looking at Kumo the way Gaara did.

It was un-nerving.

She had long black hair with bright black eyes and silver stars glistening in them like a milky-way around her pupil. She wore a black dress with lace as the straps and black flip-flops, and black wings tattooed on her back, covering her whole shoulders.

"Hi" The girl whispered in a soft voice that sent shivers all over Kumo's body.

Somehow, it seemed Kumo knew her.

Kumo blinked before smiling back at the girl.

"Hey, thanks for catching me... my names Kumo"

Gaara had long ago stopped bleeding, but he wished he would start bleeding so Kumo would tend to him tenderly and forget the girl who was eyeing Kumo like a glass doll she was in love with.

"My names Sukai" She whispered, grinning back at Kumo "Sukai Nai" She stated.

Dead sky.

Could it be?
Gaara glared but saw the band-aids beside him and grabbed them, only to have Kumo jump up.

"No! Not those, we need the durable ones, if I'm going to stock up" Kumo stated, smiling at Gaara and pulling the band-aids next the ones Gaara had picked and put back his.

Kumo took Gaara's hands and pulled him toward the cash-register and turns out Sukai was purchasing something.

A energy drink

How ironic,

It was like she was attempting to stalk Kumo.

Gaara's Kumo.

Kumo hit the wet patch and slipped back only to be caught by Gaara who pulled her close into his arms.

"I can't let you walk 5 inches without falling, can I?" Gaara joked, shaking his head mockingly.

"Hush, Ga-rawr, I'm very balanced" Kumo laughed, looking up at him and suddenly it was as if she couldn't breathe.

She didn't know why, but lately there was an urge in her body that kept pushing her.

Kumo wanted to know if Gaara loved her.

But asking wouldn't be the best way to ask,

Anyone could lie to someone to keep them from crying.

So Kumo asked Temari who just rolled her eyes and looked Kumo straight in the eyes.

"The only way is to kiss him, a big kiss on the lips and if he kisses back after a few seconds, let the shock go away, and it's got to be a soft one in a romantic moment. If there is fire-works, butterflies, etcetera, then it's love"

Kumo took a deep breath and let the small hesitation take hold:

What if he doesn't kiss back?

Will he stop being her friend?

What if he kisses back and it's not love?

What if it's lust?
Kumo let a shuttered breath out before pushing back softly from Gaara.

Maybe now wasn't the time.

She need to think more.

Enough to get courage to try.

Purchasing more than one box of band-aids, a thing of chap-stick, and some peroxide, Kumo walked back with Gaara in silence before breaking it with an exaggerated gasp.

"Gaara! What if a girl wants to tell you how she feels but the only way to know you like her back is to kiss her, would you kiss her back just so she wouldn't feel bad, or would you not do it at all...

"Or would you take advantage of her for some lustful wish, or would you just kiss her the way you feel for her? and what if the girl were asking for a kiss in her own way to tell you she likes you but can't say it out loud because she can't do it, because she's a coward"

Kumo took a deep breath and looked at Gaara who eyed her face over before shaking his head confused for a bit.

"okay.. repeat that" He whispered, looking at her.

Kumo sighed before shaking her head.

"Nevermind... I should probably get dressed, we had last minute decorations to do for haunted house tonight" She whispered, opening the front door before stopping and turning around, pinning Gaara to the wall.

Gaara took a deep breath in silently as Kumo looked over his head.

Taking a dab of peroxide, she rubbed his cut, then put a band-aid on it before smiling down at him.

Gaara could feel her body from underneath the thin night-gown.

This temptation wasn't what he wanted, but it was so hard to ignore it.

He was a guy who was head over heels for a girl, who at the moment wore basically nothing and left herself open for him to take.

And Gaara knew she would let him take her if he wanted too,

Just for him to be happy.

But Gaara knew it would break her.

The demon in him would make him go wild and he would most likely kill her.

Sex, anything that involved more touching then holding hands, and soft hugs was out of the question.

"Go get dressed... I need a shower" Gaara whispered, making up an excuse to get away from her and racing to his room.

Kumo watched him leave before feeling tears in her eyes.

She had him in her hands, twice, and she couldn't make herself kiss him.

He probably figured it out and it scared him.

It made him run.

Kumo raced up the stairs, tears in her eyes as she bolted into her room.

Pull yourself together.

She put on clean clothes, this time with a bra.

A black tank-top and a pair of jean shorts, seeing as they were painting then getting dressed for the haunted house.

Kumo pulled herself together and pulled her hair back up in pigtails, smiling again and feeling better.

It felt good to have her hair up again.

Walking out into the halls, she saw dawn and instantly went into art mode.

Paint here,

Paper there.

Fake blood up,

Motion censored hands that go out and grab things down.

Kumo looked around and grinned at her accomplishment.

It felt good to do things to keep her mind off of things.

Suddenly a song came on the radio that was a dance song and she suddenly broke out into random dance.

"I came here to make you dance tonight, I don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you. SHUT UP, cause we WON'T STOP, we're getting-" (guilty pleasure, cobra starship)

She continued to sing not seeing Gaara coming out and watching her dance.

Her smile was huge and it made him remember how she always smiled at him.

That was the main reason he fell for Kumo.

She always to seem him the way he wanted her to.

Suddenly, Kumo saw him and grinned even bigger, if it was possible.

She grabbed his hands and forced him to dance with her in a goofy form.

"I missed this" He whispered, watching her as she danced.

Turning he saw the window and found the girl looking up from the ground, and in the window.

Gaara glared.

It was...

His competition had pulled on a human form.

Ohh!

It's sooooooooo On!
