Days 4.
You dragged me all the way, just to show me this?.. Gaara spoke as he set his foot on that familiar land.
It was an oasis, the place he always inspected..
Her face that was happy turned to frowned immediately.. " Isn't this great?.. " She looked Gaara across from her shoulder.
No it not.. " For your information this belonged to Sunagakure village and I was one of them, so it doesn't surprise us to see this Oasis. Because this is our main resource water for villagers . " Gaara explained while watching moon reflection from the water.
So you from Sunagakure?.. And Shinobi? ".. She asked while looking at him. She put down her travel bag in the sand and sat beside it.
I'm tired" She sighed.
Gaara's eyes never steer aways from her actions. " Yeah.. And you?..
Laughed at Gaara's question, "Do I look like a Shinobi to you?.. " She asked Gaara back as she held her laughter.
Remembering how she ran from the monsters earlier really make him stupid to ask that questions. " . No, ". .. Say why you come here? Do you have a business with Sunagakure or something?.. "
Geez... That is not serious like that.. " I'm just traveling " She glanced up looking at Gaara.
Their gaze met upon each other for a moment until Gaara looked away. ".. You sure had a lot of time ..
Not denying Gaara's statement, She just chuckled.. As her hand played with water.. The water was cold and refreshing as the night sky became darker and wind cold brushing against her skin. .. Aren't you cold.. " She quivered..
That's why people don't go to the desert. The desert was an unforgiving place. You must have an experience or you are a Shinobi.
Yeah, you right .. ' she agrees with Gaara …
As I set my foot on the sand without any reason that scorpion just attack me outta of nowhere.. I mean I'm just kinda curious and just want to get a peek of it. The scorpion chases me to the end world .. I thought I was goner.. Luckily I saw you there'.. 'As she saying she looked up to Gaara.. 'Once again, Thank you for rescuing me.. '
Gaara became awkward and she was smiling at him right.. She looks so beautiful .. with that pale pink lips, and amber coloured eyes sometimes when Gaara meets her gaze. Her eyes look like it is glittering and sparkling.
Maybe because of dark now he can't know for sure if her color haired were brown or black .. 'Where you come from?'..
I'm from a village named Takigakure.. ' her face etched a smile when saw a dragonfly playing above the water..
isn't that village that keeps seven-tails beast as known as Chomei?..
Yeah.. you know that?.. she says while not paying attention to Gaara and immersed in catching the dragonfly.. her right hand was stretched and the other hand clutching to the ground to prevent her from falling into the water..
You shouldn't do that.. Gaara advises as he watches that stranger women go into her worst situation again..
Naa… it will be fine.. because im… 'she has not finished her words as she is losing the balance of her left hand ..
Her eyes were widened.. seeing the water in front her now she is only bracing herself to get drowned by her stubbornness not to listen to what people say.
aahh!!..
Before she fell into the water Gaara, just in time grabbed one her hand and to prevent her from falling into their water resources.. and lifted her up to face him.. ' their faces were so close until their breath against each other ..
Annoyed shown on his face 'Next time try to listen to what people said'..Gaara unconscious raise his voice
I'm sorry.. she whimpered..
Release his hand from her, but suddenly her legs went weak as losing her balance and fell into the sand before Gaara could catch her..
Ouch'.. she yelled in pain and bit on her bottom lips.. That's hurts .. she whining
Felt guilty Gaara quickly checked on her, lowering his body' Are you okay..' Gaara asked worriedly.
It looks like I sprained my ankle'.. She explained and showing her foot were already bruised..
Can you walk?'.. or stand up?.. '
Shaking her head , I don't think so '
Gaara stared at her face , she looked so nervous and frightening..
It seemed she was on the verge of crying, 'hey.. are you afraid .. ' His voice doesn't even sound like he concerns
Holding back her tears.. 'She wiped her tears aways..
It looked like he got no choice.. without any explanation Gaara turned his back in front of her..
What?..
You couldn't walk didn't you?'..
Yes .. she answered.
I will carry you to sunagakure . I don't have a skill in medical jutsu so you need to get treatment on sunagakure .. 'if anyone he knows sees this he would die in embarrassment.
But.. it's okay I figure myself it my fault .. you can leave me here, I couldn't not possible bother you anymore ' .. She refused.
And you done enough , you saved me from the horrible scorpion and saved me from drowning and now you still want to help even though I'm only just making trouble..
Hop in my back now., I don't want to get nightmares tonight that I cruelly let an injured woman all alone in the middle of the desert waiting for her to get killed or eaten.. So let's go, I don't plan to sleep here tonight " ..
Pouting at Gaara comments, She slowly gets up and hop in Gaara back.. Secure herself by putting her arms around his neck and rest her head against his back. " Does someone tell you that your words kinda hurt" ..
Yeah. There were.. Why?.. " he thought about her weird question..
Don't you know that you have a sharp tongue?..
Stay silent , i'm gonna speed up " Gaara ignored her,
Speed up?.
She blinked her eyes. " what he means by speed u...
She gasped when the world was spinning so fast as Gaara quickly accelerated his pace.. She shut her eyes and tightly hugged Gaara from behind.. " This is damn too fast.. I'm scared'.. She murmurs.
Without her knowing Gaara was laughing at her. Suppress his laughter Gaara goes faster and ... The more that women yelled in fear behind his back.
This woman were so amusing.. " Gaara unconsciously thought..
Maybe his days from now will get interesting now she suddenly came to his life.
And hope Kankuro will not give him a mouthful of nagging.
Slow down a bit.. !!!!!. She shouted across the desert..
