Disclaimer: I own nothing but the OC
The painful bang of doors slamming into a wall spread over the office alarming the shinobis to the volatile arrival of Kagome Higurashi. She aggressively waltzed in oblivious to the danger. She was lucky that the present personnel consisted mostly of seasoned warriors. Only one rookie released a kunai targeting her sensitive belly but it was intercepted mid flight and hidden behind a desk. It all happened in a blink of an eye even before she stopped in the middle of the room. Turning around Kagome searched the office with a laser focus. Frustrated she grabbed forcefully the nearest shinobi who looked for guidance in Baki-san's face. The jounin signaled to wait and see how the situation will play out. A common ninja tactic when infiltrating an enemy environment.
A clipped command left Kagome's lips "Gaara?"
The shinobi pointed out in the general direction of Baki's office where Kagome's unsuspecting victim was currently studying. Most often Gaara's typical training sessions consisted of ninjitsu and taijutsu practice however once a week he studied advanced scrolls on the theory behind the practical application. These sessions were rather taxing as sitting still and focusing wasn't in Shukaku's nature. Furthermore the exhaustion that was his constant companion wasn't helping either.
Kagome released her steely grasp and marched towards the office while grinding her teeth. She opened the door in the similar fashion as the last time and without looking at Gaara she unloaded. "I have had enough!" she lifted her hands and gesticulated "I have been patient. I have given you time and space. I have tried to be understanding but I have had enough" she put her foot down and nervously circled.
"So what's the big deal!? I have petted you a little, you invited me to bed and we slept together!"
"If there is anyone that should be angry it's me" she continued more calmly while catching her breath. "When I have woken up there was a sandbox in your bed. The same bed that I was sleeping in and let me tell you something mister" she put one hand on her hip while gesticulating with the other "I don't know a girl who would like to sleep in one. The sand gets everywhere and there are some parts that a girl doesn't want to have sand grains in."
Gaara has frozen and looked at her with his eyes wide open noting her deep breaths accompanied by blushing cheeks, ruffled hair and eyes shooting lightning bolts at him. He was transfixed. Hypnotized. He had never seen her angry before but he didn't think that telling her she was captivating in her passionate tirade would help his situation.
The hush fell over the room and oddly enough no noise came from outside the office despise the fact that the doors were half – open.
"I miss you" Kagome whispered. She hesitantly reached towards Gaara but stopped before they could touch. She clasped her hands below her breast keeping them close to her body as in fear that they will try to reach again despise her better judgment. In a broken voice and eyes pointed down she mumbled "why are you avoiding me?" she tensed waiting for his answer but hearing nothing she vacated the room and quietly closed the door behind her.
Shit. He really fucked up. Gaara gripped the desk and forced down the bile that rose in panic. But how one tells a friend that he has been avoiding her because he started to ... fantasize…
