Shoutouts

ANBU are Sexy: Nice new name by the way. Yes he needs one but sadly then he wouldn't be Gaara so much or the improved Gaara. Anyways, I'm thinking of throwing Kakashi and Team 7 in (minus the asshole) for a bit oh and Morino, Ibiki. Courteously sent by the one and only Tsunada.

Under A Killing Moon: yeah, I do that a lot. The wrong words, like right instead of write or through instead of threw. Heck I even forget words, even when I go back and check. "I'm working on it. And I'm sorry it took me so long.

Oh warning: Kyrie has a fight with conscious. Short and simple she is silently talking to herself. And I'm starting to think her recovery is happening to fast.

Read and Enjoy

Chapter 12: I'm Sorry

Kyrie woke up tears sealing her eyes shut. God, she rolled her eyes at the thought, how could I have been so vile yesterday. Gaara probably doesn't want anything to do with me. He probably take a village kunoichi to be his blooming bride in the future. Ugh, why am I thinking that far ahead.

More silent tears streamed down her face. She was mentally and emotionally beating herself up.

Wait! Why is it my fault? If he had never accused me, nor attacked me with his sand, I wouldn't be in this predicament. It's his fault. All of it is.

Another voice came up, still her own, contradicting her statement. Not his fault his fault. Orochimaru's is the one that causes our pain.

But if Gaara had never caused me to lose consciousness I would have been able to escape.

He was doing what he thought best for his country. His people Kyrie. We on the other hand seem to keep making things worse.

Not my fault. She had her hands all over my Gaara.

And you say know one is allowed to claim him.

Have you forgotten. Gaara calls me his all the time.

That's because you love him.

Shut up. He can't love me back after what I did.

He did kiss you.

And then he threaten me. Or have you forgotten.

I have a great memory unlike you.

I hate you.

I know you hate yourself. Everyone in Kiri hated you, so you hate yourself because that is what you know. Regardless, Gaara loves you as much you love him and if he can't overlook that one mistake you made then he isn't worth your time.

A sob broke past her lips and she covered her mouth with her hands, pushing until her knuckles turned white and the sobs were muffled. Even muffled, Gaara heard and was at her side before she could blink. Pulling her shaking body into her lap and lightly rocking, trying to soothe her.

Isn't this enough proof that he loves you.

But I don't deserve it. A fresh round of sobs racked her body. She was keening for something not lost. Why am I so emotional? What has he done to me? It's vexing to know he is the reason but not why.

I can't believe I'm you. You are such an idiot.

I hate how you are a know it all.

I know, idiot.

And her little voice shut up leaving her to whimper in Gaara's arms.

-around lunch-

Kyrie sat at the kitchen table pushing the food Baki had cooked for them around the plate, not really hungry. Gaara had left to do whatever Kazekage's do when they do their job and Kankuro left shortly afterwards. Temari sat on the other side of the table arms crossed and staring at the teen. Baki leaned against the wall also watching but not for the same reason. He was watching for any signs of hostility.

"Temari?" Her voice was starting to lose its gravelly sound. "Can we go to the hospital? I want to speak to Zonou."

Baki tensed, a blade slipping into his hand. He didn't want to do what he was order to do by the council but he would do it if necessary. All he did was prepare himself for an attack.

"Why would you want to see the slut?" Temari asked, just like Kyrie, she hated the woman.

"I want to tell her I don't regret trying to kill her but that I'm sorry for losing control. I want to tell her the only thing I regret, that I have ever regret in my life is the fact that I upset Gaara. And that I will never look at her, talk to her, or ever try to harm her again because it will upset Gaara."

Temari stared at her and then looked up at Baki to meet his eye and see the kunai in his hand. He would be prepared to take her out if Kyrie tried to hurt Zonou.

They walked in silence. Temari and Baki flanking Kyrie on either side. She ignored the two weapon wielding ninjas and enter the hospital.

"I'd like to see Zonou, please," Kyrie stated to the man behind the counter.

"I'm sorry, but she isn't taking visitors," the man replied.

"Yes, she is." Temari stepped up and glared at him. "I say she can go and see Zonou."

"Room 127, second floor," he stuttered.

The three headed to said room. Standing outside, Kyrie started to second guess herself. Should she apologize to her? Answer: yes. Would Zonou even except the apology? Answer: no. Kyrie knocked on the door before entering. The three ignoring that they weren't invited in.

Zonou freaked. "Stay away from me, you psycho bitch."

"I came here to say I'm sorry," Kyrie spoke, disregarding the girls freaked out movements and sounds. "I don't regret doing what I did but I'm sorry that I did it."

"How can you not regret it and still be sorry?" Zonou screamed at her.

Still speaking softly, Kyrie replied, "I lost control and it upset Gaara. If it bothers him, then it bothers me. I've said what I came here to say. So, goodbye."

Baki and Temari left first and Kyrie followed, pausing at the door she said, "Oh, another thing. I will not think of you, talk of you, or look at you again. You have no worry about me. I will not touch you in any shape, form, or fashion."

With that said, they left the building. "I also need to talk to you, Temari. And then maybe Gaara. Baki, please put that weapon away. I have all my memories back and I'm not about to hurt anyone."

He complied, reluctantly and they headed into the mansion.

-Temari's room, minus Baki-

Baki left before Temari and Kyrie settled down in Temari's room saying something about being needed elsewhere. He didn't like being in Temari's room or maybe it had to do with the whole opposite gender. Or he didn't want to risk seeing a heart to heart girly moment.

Kyrie called a little whirlwind to appear in her hand as an excuse to hold off speaking. Then she killed it and let flames take the winds place. Then water, earth and lastly shadow.

"You wanted to talk, Kyrie?" Temari asked, watching the shadow manipulation.

"He hates me now, doesn't he?"

"Gaara doesn't hate you. I think that kiss was proof enough."

"What if he leaves me? Doesn't want to do anything with me?"

Temari shook her head. "Gaara likes you too much and if he can't overlook what you did, while your mind was trying to remember then he's got another thing coming to him. I'll beat him black and blue for you."

Kyrie chuckled, trying to fight the tears that were begging to be seen. "See I made you laugh." The bed shifted as Temari got up. "Come on. You said you needed to talk to Gaara, right? Then let's go."

"I'd prefer to do it alone, Temari."

"Fine I'll walk you to the building and make sure the receptionist lets you up."

The walk was silent, filled with unasked and unanswered questions. They walked up to the woman behind the desk and Kyrie left to go find Gaara's office while Temari talked to the lady.

Kyrie follow the one heart beat that caused hers to race. Her sensitive ears picking it up in the building and her Kekkei Genkai allowing her to follow it more closely to a wooden door. She knocked and waited for him to allow her to enter and waiting for the other heartbeats to leave. The three ninjas left and she got her entrance call.

"Gaara?" She walked straight to his desk and placed her hands on the top. "I wish…Is it okay….I want to apologize for my irrational behavior."

He stared at her not moving an inch. "Go on."

"I'm sorry if I'm inconvenience or a threat to your village and swear that I won't harm another villager. I don't want to bother you. Hurt you like that ever again." She spoke so fast in her raspy quiet voice. "And if you want me to leave, to never come back here again. I'll listen to you and only you."

Gaara face showed no emotions at least not the ones raging underneath the mask. He got up, walked around his desk, and hugged her. Hugged her tightly to her chest.

"I said I wouldn't lose you again. So, why would I kick you out of my village?"

"Because. One, I nearly killed one of your villagers. Two, I smacked you," she paused and then opened her mouth to go on.

"I have forgiven you for that and I accept your apology. Maybe the person you need to…"

"I beat you to that Gaara." She cut him off. "And I don't think she accepted as gracefully as you."

"Go home." Gaara kissed her lips and then her forehead before going back to his work.

Gaara picked up the letter that had arrived moments before Kyrie came in. A notice from Tsunada saying she was sending Morino, Ibiki. The head interrogator in Konoha. He hoped Ibiki wasn't planning anything drastic. Especially since she had all of her memories back or the ones that mattered at least.
