Ch.20 Festival

Akira fidget as everyone waited for Yukio to come from the meeting with her mother the Mizukage, she couldn't hold still not while she was in between the both of them. Why oh why did they both sit by me are they really trying to torture me? Akira looked to her left seeing the demon bitch next to her and to her right was none other than the redheaded bastard himself. She was torn between emotions either kill the one on her left or hide behind a rock from the one on her right….then again she could just kill them both and get it over with.

"Hey, guys" Yukio finally emerged from the office. "She wants to thank you all for my safe return and want to apologize for not coming to greet you but she has a meet next. She would like for you all to stay for the festival that's happening today."

"Yes! A festival that mean girls!" Kankuro yelled high fiving Kouji.

"You know, as the Mizukage's son I can get into the adult bars without a problem." Yukio tried to whisper while dangling passes in front of the guys.

"Dose that also me adult bars for women too?" Akira asked.

"Akira!" Temari yelled.

"What? why do the guy have all the fun. They get half naked girls in their face, why don't we get half naked guys in our." Akira pouted. "Just imaged it Tem, hot guys with big muscles, oily skin that would love to dance on you just for a measly little paper." She tempted waving a few yens.

I wouldn't mind that redhead shaking-

NO! I don't need to hear or see that! Akira yelled at the voice inside her head.

Temari snatched the money stuffing it in her pocket before turning her eyes to Akira. Giving her a wink Akira understood quickly. "Dude look at her chest those things look as if they would spill over at anytime!" Akira fakes a disgusted voice as the guys look for the 'woman'.

"I don't see anyone." Kouji pouted.

"She right there next to that um thing." Akira pointed in a random direction while Temari slipped the passes from Yukio hands before taking off down the hall.

"Aww, she left to be too she had a huge chest." She laughed. "While…gotta run!"

"They are weird." Kankuro spoke while watching the two girls run down the hall.

"Hey, Yukio where are the passes?" Kouji asked.

Looking down, seeing the passes gone Yukio fell to his knees. "We've been hoodwinked!" he cried.

Matsuri rolled her eyes at them as they ran after the girls, looking over to Gaara she smiled finally she alone with him no one to interfere. Opening her mouth to speak she was cut off by a loud 'DADDY'.

"Shit." Matsuri cussed under her breath as the maroon haired child jumped into Gaara's arms.

"Unkwe Kanky zaid Kaida can't goes wit him cuz Kaida too zmaww(small)." She pouted. After that Matsuri chance of talking to Gaara was gone for the child wouldn't shut the hell up.

'Great, just great she finally gets the chance to talk to him and then this happens,' she glades at the child. 'Were the fates out to get her, to keep her away for the man that she loved?"

"Matsuri." Gaara cut her from her rants. "You should go get ready for the festival." Matsuri fluttering heart stopped as she saw him walk into the guys' room of their hotel. He spoke to her she knew it was crazy to get joy from a little sentence but he rarely speaks, so what little he did say were to be cherished.

Dancing into the room Matsuri plotted on the bed. "Someone happy." Temari giggled.

"You can say that." She smiled looking at the older female. She was wearing a short purple and white kimono with a white obi; she had her hair down ending with soft curls. "Wow, you look really pretty."

"Oh, thanks. Um here which one long or short?" Temari held up two kimonos that were the same only length was different. It was light blue with dark peals with matching obi.

"Hmm, the long one fine."

"Short it is." Temari nodded.

"Hey, then why did you ask?"

"Benefit of doubt. Plus Akira and I are wearing short kimonos, we wanna match."

"I don't wanna look like her!" Matsuri hissed.

"Well, to bad now get changed." Temari hand Matsuri her outfit before banging on the bathroom door. "Get your ass out now AKIRA!"

While in the shower Akira was trying to get the voice inside her head to give her more info on it. Akira had no idea what it was, or why it was there.

I am not an 'it' I have a name.

Then tell me. It's not fair you can go through my memories and pick out info about me but I can't get anything from you!'

You seen my memories and I haven't went through all your, yet… so there even.

No, because in the memories no one ever says your name! Only shukaku's! Who the hell is he beside your lover?

You're not ready for my name and yes he's my lover…he was the sand demon but I can't find him. The voice left before Akira could say any more plus there was a bang on the door.

"Ok, Temari I'm out." Akira came out the bathroom. She wore a black kimono with dark violet dragons snaking around her with a light violet obi to complete the outfit with a fake black and purple Lilly in her hair.

"About time." She giggled. Akira rolled her eyes as she sat at the vanity kicking up her left leg about to apply make to her birthmark when the door to the boy's room burst open.

"This is why I hate conjoin room!" Temari hissed putting her kunai away. But the guys weren't paying attention all they could focusing on was Akira's propped up leg.

The white hair was frozen in action as she stares at the boys stare at her, if this had been an attack her would have been dead. She could Baki scowling her now; slowly she puts her leg down.

"Why would you want to cover up such a beautiful design?" Yukio pushes pass the group.

"And before you ask it's a birthmark not a tattoo." Yukio was down on his knees looking at her leg. This is really getting weird.

Someone cleared their throat bring Akira's attention to what the boys' were wearing, she over looked the guys before landing on Gaara and started laughing hard.

"Why are you laughing?" Kankuro asked.

"Gaara…" was all she could get out.

"You should laugh at him!" Matsuri yelled.

"Gaara's…..face….he looks like a child….force into his best clothes…." Akira counties to laugh, as unknowingly, made her way over to Gaara. Everyone one looked at Gaara and saw his regular glare nothing different, what on earth, was she on about.

Gaara like the other guys wore hakama type pants and a haori. Kankuro had on a black hakama with a white haori, Kouji just had on blue hakama, Yukio had black hakama with an orange haori and last Gaara had a red hakama with a black haori. Gaara was surprised Akira could tell that he was uncomfortable in the outfit, his face was kept either blank or in a glare, but she caught the emotion just with one look.

"First lose the gourd." She slide her hands under the straps the held the gourd to his back up and over his head. Not really getting how heavy the gourd was when it drops to the ground it pulled her up to Gaara's face their noses touching. Letting the straps go she slide down his body before bending around him, wrapping her arms around the gourd waist picking it up with great difficulty setting on the bed. With a pat she left it the middle of the bed so it would roll off then going back to Gaara.

"Second, loosen up and relax. I know we can be attack at anytime but if you're always tense and glare at everything you're going to scary people away." Akira shook her head not knowing how true that was. No one bother to fill her in on Gaara's past, they just threw her in saying her your to marry him be happy, so she didn't see the look the sand sibling were giving her, she was truly something.

Matsuri stared at Akira while she rolled Gaara's shoulder in a tempt to loosen him up, she swung his arms up and down and all around, then grabbing his shoulders giving him a little shake. "Stop it Akira!"

"Why I'm not hurting him?" Akira answered as she messed up his hair. "Why did you comb your hair?"

"Kaida did!" the dragon said from Kankuro shoulders she was matching Akira like always but this time her colors were backwards black dragons and a purple kimono.

"Well, let never do that again." Akira giggled.

"Can we go?" Matsuri said getting impatience.

"Bye, were not stopping you!" Akira mumbled.

"But your stopping everyone else."

"I'm I stopping anyone of you?" Akira question while mashing Gaara's face together hoping to get a reaction, a smile, a twitch, smirk, something!

"Actually this is kinda amusing." Kankuro laughed.

"Yeah, I agree with Kankuro on this one, plus it's early." Temari giggled. Matsuri sat down in a huff.

As Akira poke and squish Gaara she notices that something was wrong. He was reacting like he usually did, by now they would have been in a fist fight. Akira planned while she was in the bathroom to annoy Gaara with her best ability for what he did last week in the last hotel but nothing was working. Maybe he learned patience while he was away. Frowning Akira voice her worry in a low voice.

Gaara shook his head. "Nothing."

"Yes, something it bothering you…usually we would have been at each other throats by know. I've been squashing you, poking, swing your arms and your just letting me…why?"

"…."

"Answer my question."

"You want to play that game again, so soon?" Akira went stiff knowing what he was talking about.

"Ah, I see you only react when horny." Akira hissed.

"The best time to react." He spoke in her ear.

"Time to go Gaara loosen enough." Akira turned quickly walking rapidly out the room follow by Gaara.

Everyone got up and pursued the yellow eyed girl and crimson haired boy all wondering the same things. What were the two whispering about? And why did Akira leave in such a rush?

Countless hours had pass as the group enjoyed the festival and the many things it had to offer. Now they were at a food stand with Temari trying to get Akira to eat a malted milk dango. "There's no way I'm eating that!"

"Just try it come on it's really good." The blonde pleaded.

"No, it looks gross!"

Gaara watched as his sister tried to get Akira to eat, which he had to admit was very amusing to watch, Akira was holding Kaida in front of her mouth as a human shield while Temari fussed. Gaara slide his eyes over to were the three guys were pouting, since the girl took the passes they have been fighting to getting them back and was getting to annoy Gaara, he took the passes and gave them to some random person. Next his eyes went to Matsuri who join in on the argument between Temari and Akira, she too was acting weird, always getting into a fight with Akira, calling her names and oddly always standing next to him.

You're really stupid boy, if you haven't notice that she's been trying to get your attention all afternoon and then some. The demon announces.

Why?

Never mind you figure it out. The sand demon huffed at how dim his host could be.

"Temari, she not going to eat it let the bitch starve." Matsuri growled. You could say her jealousy was getting to her, her had Gaara not once strayed away from Akira's side and the dump whoe never notice. What Matsuri would give to have him, her love, stand by her all the time.

"Fuck you too Matsuri. Temari all I want is a blow of Raman." Akira begged to the blonde after scoffing at the demon bitch.

Matsuri was going to say something back when Gaara shoved his last dango into Akira mouth. The yellow eyed girl glared at Gaara before slapping his hand away from her lips, "pervert" Akira muttered as Gaara turn away licking his finger while Temari asked Akira how the dango had tasted. "It's alright."

"Good, I would like two more sticks please." Temari ordered.

"Tem, you're going to get fat." Akira voiced in a bored tone.

"There not for me." She replied shoving the stick into Akira's hand.

The burette stare dumbfounded as she watch the group walk off, did anyone else see what she just did? Why aren't they dumbstruck like her? Something was wrong Gaara was acting differently and she didn't like it she wanted, no need answers and needed them tonight.

"I know just the place." She laughed bitterly. Quickly Matsuri ran and grabbed Akira by the wrist before taking off down the path before anyone could question her.

"Hey, Matsuri what's your problem." Akira hollered while being dragged.

"You're going to help get some answers."

"What? How?"

"Come get hypnotize to tell the truth by Madam Iva. Do you think your boyfriend is cheating then bring him up here and let him tell yourself?" Akira felt the damn dangos come back to get her, as Matsuri pulled her on to a stage.

"May me and my friend volunteer please." Matsuri asked in a sweet voice that made Akira want to hurl.

"Sure come sit in the chair." One of the assistants spoke.

"Um Matsuri I don't think this is such a great idea." Akira took a step back.

"Of course it is." She giggled.

"Hey, Matsuri why did you run off with Akira like that?" Kouji asked once the rest of the group caught up.

"Yeah, I thought there was going to be a fight." Yukio added.

"Nope something better." Again she giggled. I really wish she would stop…I think I'm going to be sick. Akira looked out into the crowd and saw how big it was, she felt her stomach heave.

"And now please get ready for Madam Iva!" the crowd cheered as an old lady walk out with her pepper hair in a tight bun, a green and blue robe on and dark blue eyes.

"Welcome all, to my show" she bowed. "Now who might the two of you be?"

"I'm Matsuri and this is Akira. I want to find out what her relationship is with a person."

"Ah, love always getting those…now when I hypnotize you, your friends here are going to ask you any question they want then I will ask you the questions you want Matsuri, okay?"

"That's good." She nodded. Akira looked over to the girl next to her, she could walk off this stage and not give a damn but then Matsuri will never leave it alone. Looking back at the mass off people Akira suppressed a shutter she hated being in the centre of attention. I just could beat her ass and be done with it. But her curiosity got the best of her she too wanted to know what was up the girl's ass.

"I want you two girls to look at the light that's hang over the festival. Stare at it and block everything else out, the only thing you hear and see is my voice and the light. Your eyes are getting tired and you're blinking repeatedly to keep them open, your head is dropping from how tried you're getting. Your eyes are now close, when you felt a weight on your shoulder and the number three you will fall asleep."

The crowd watched as Madam Iva place her had on the girls shoulder and quickly say three. The girls slumped into their chairs. "Very good, to whom currently touching," which was both of the girls. "when you awake you will be force to tell the truth no matter how hard you try to not to say it. On three you will wake. One …two…three!"

Akira shot up into her seat while Matsuri jump awake. "How are you feeling?" Iva asked.

"Ok, that was really weird." Akira spoke running her fingers through her hair.

"Yeah, same here."

"Good, you three!" she point to Kankuro, Yukio and Kouji. "You will ask the girls any question you want. Don't be afraid to get personally." She smiled as she stepped back.

"Oh no." Akira gulps as Kankuro looked at her with an evil stare.

"Payback is so sweet." He laughed.

"Ahah, come on buddy they were just magazines!" Akira laughed nervously.

"What magazines?" Yukio and Kouji asked.

"I threw out some of Kankuro porn magazines." Akira blurts it out.

"Evilness!" Yukio yells.

"Hmm, what should I ask oh I know…who do you want to sleep with and why?" Kankuro grinned while Matsuri whipped around with a smirk on her face.

Akira clamped a hand over her mouth as she glared at the two while all the guys she ever known went through her head before an idea made itself known and a smile spread crossed her face. "Gambit from x-men, because he really hot." She smiled.

"Wait, he's not real." Kankuro frown as Madam Iva laughed.

"A smart one we have here." She patted Akira on the back. "Next be more specific. Since, you didn't say if they had to be real or not."

"My turn!" Kouji jump in front. "To both, whom would you love to date amongst the crowd gathered on this stage?

"Gaara!" Matsuri shouts.

"Temari!" Akira giggled.

"WHAT!" The guys yelled.

"Well, you see date mean going a several dates, like an outing so yeah I would date Temari."

"Hell yeah!" Temari cheered.

"I meant like boyfriend/ girlfriend date." Kouji pouted.

"Well you didn't say that!"

"That cheating!" Matsuri yelled.

"Actually, it's not," Madam Iva smiled. "It all depends on how you see the question."

"That's not fair, she should answer the question how it is no time to think." Matsuri pressed.

"Oh, stop being a baby."

"OK cut it out my turn!" Yukio pushed Kouji back. "To Matsuri, how often do you masturbate?" the crowd erupted into laughs and giggles as said girl turn red.

"Every night!" She revealed. Akira burst out laughing after failing to keep it in.

"Do you have a crush on someone on this stage, right now?" Kankuro asked.

"I think so!" Akira blurts with down turn eyes.

"Is it male?" Yukio asked.

"Yes, of course!" Akira hissed.

"Hey I gotta ask you said you date Temari." Akira rolled her eyes.

"Matsuri," Kouji asked. "Who do you think about when you touch yourself?"

Again Akira laughed not begin able to help it, her fault. "Gaara!" she answered.

"Akira, do you have a sex-toy?" Yukio asked.

"What, hell no!"

"What about you Matsuri?" Kankuro questioned.

"Yes."

"What the name of your sex-toy?" Kouji laughed.

"Gaara." This made Akira stop laughing and stare at the girl next to her. Then suddenly everything made scene, Matsuri had a crush on Gaara that is why she was always mean.

"Akira if you had a sex-toy what would you name it?"Kankuro requested.

"Big-sama." She smiled but her eyes didn't leave Matsuri. There was a sudden not in Akira stomach as she kept think about Matsuri crush on Gaara. Am I jealous?

"Now," Iva cuts in. "Matsuri and Akira I want you two to turn and face the light again." The old lady place a hand on the girls sholuders and said three before the two went limp in the seats.

"Akira, you said you think you had a crush, Am I right?" Iva query.

"Yes." She replied sleepy tone.

"Why, do you only think you have a crush?"

"Because, I'm confused."

"Why are you confused?"

"I used to hate him. He was so mean and never used to say anything, but it seem every time I was in need of help he was the first one to be there, and now I feel so safe when he's around sometime I crave for him to be with me. I can't like him though…." She trailed off.

"Why?"

"If…I like him then I won't be able to see my family again…and everything I'm fighting for would be for nothing."

"Matsuri, is your crush Gaara?"

"Yes."

"Did you come on stage to find out what relationship Akira and Gaara have?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I want to know why she able to touch Gaara without his sand shield reacting and I can't. I want to know why she can have an actually conversation with him when she only met him a couple months and I know him longer." She whispered.

Madam Iva nodded then said three the girl short awake. "Is it that, you can't like him or won't?" Matsuri spat.

"I can't!" Akira shouted, since they were still under the hypnosis.

"WHY?"

Akira bit down on her lip trying hard not to say it she wouldn't understand, and with luck not being on her side she blurted it out. "The last time I like someone they physically torture me for three fucking days! See how you feel on letting people in…I known him for three damn years, so excuse me for not throwing myself at every guy I find attractive!"

"When I snap my fingers you'll be released for the truth hypnosis." Madam Iva snapped her fingers.

"Good." Akira turned and ran off the stage she couldn't stand people watching her cry and to have a crowd was worst.

"Akira wait!" Temari went after the girl, not before turn back to Matsuri. "You went too far."

"Kankuro take Yukio back home Kouji go help Temari." Gaara spoke as he walked off stage. The three said boys turn and left leaving Matsuri with the crowd murmuring about her as they too filled out. "Matsuri." The red head called. She winced at his voice.

The walk back to the hotel was quite and long, and it was killing her. She now finally has the chance at being alone with him and it under these circumstances. It's now or never. She opens her mouth to say how she felt about him when her foot collides with a rock tripping her. Upon falling she feels sand catching her arm when she deiced to use this to her advantaged she quickly turns her body. Matsuri made her lips met his. Gaara froze.

"I'm in love with you Sabaku no Gaara." Her lips brushed his as she spoke. She warps her arms around his neck pressing her lip more on to his to only have him take her arm from his neck and hold her arm lengths away.

"Akira is my fiancé, that's our relationship." Was all that came out Gaara's mouth before walking around her and into the hotel.

Matsuri sank to her knees as she stare disbelieving at the ground. No she wouldn't believed, she would have know if he was getting married. He lying he had to be but the small voice in the back of her head asked her when did Gaara ever lied. She lost before the game even stared.
