Days 32..

Looking at work papers he left behind, Gaara now always neglected his work. well but it's worth it. Keep smiling at himself, Gaara couldn't help but get assured when Layla tells him that she will wait and will stay at sunagakure.

And it was the best thing he could ask for,

And she already eats breakfast with him too.. For now it is enough for him he couldn't ask more from her.

Is there something to celebrate?'.. Kankuro's voice suddenly broke Gaara's thoughts. Walking towards him with a ton of paper in his hand made Gaara sighed.. ' As I'd said before, knock before entering'. He was biased at Kankuro..

Feeling dejected at his brother's expression ,' My finger hurts knocking but no one realizes because they are too immersed thinking something serious'.

Slightly smirking at his brother, Kankuro wonders if Gaara knows he is talking about the woman perfume coming out from him.

' I thought you and Sayuri were in a bad relationship.. it seems I'm wrong?"..

Gaara hates to hear his evil chuckle coming out of him.

Shut up!.. just give me that damn paper!..' Gaara says , voice higher.. if you don't keep your mouth shut..!..Gaara hurriedly takes the paper out of his hand but Kankuro dodge and play with it.

How about Layla, when she's gonna leave?.. Kankuro cut his words as Gaara's face became hardened

Is she really leaving?.. I kinda like her though'.

Batting his eyes, Gaara meets Kankuro's eyes.. ' don't worry, she has no plans to leave this village and while she stays here I will provide her necessities here so she can continue to stay at my place..

But isn't your fiance cool with that? " If Layla wants, my house has an empty room .

No!!,..

Startled at his instant rejection. Kankuro's face went pale seeing Gaara really got worked up when Layla being mentioned , he wondered if Gaara really has a relationship with Layla..

Unbelievable when Gaara still gave him a sharp gaze somewhat remembering him when he was mad back then .. ' yaa!!.. Gaara do you really believe my words?!. Of course, I'm only joking..' there was uneasiness in Kankuro 's voice.

You know, I hate joking like that'.. Gaara says while still looking at him..

A half assed chuckle from his mouth , as he nodded to Gaara.. ' I'm just delivering this for you .. since you missed the meeting earlier''.

Reaching out the paper in his hand, Gaara carefully looked one by one . and he started to focus on doing his work until he didn't notice Kankuro leaving his office..

'Studying the paper carefully, Gaara found there was a miscalculated budget on the reports Kantarou gave him.. and the other senior except Baki has a fault. According to Sayuri her father was working alone?".. but why did the other senior have the same fault as Kantarou?"..

Although he has been Kazekage for many years right now, Gaara has been blinded at their wrongdoings!. and wait for them to repent themselves as he trusts them ,while working to his bone for the village but they are easily swayed by the money and power.. for what did Kantarou do this?.. Gaara doesn't understand . Is it to eliminate him but why did he strongly wed his daughter ?". What actually was his motive?.. to destroy the village or to dispose of him?"..

There so much he didn't know, as the Kazekage he felt failed to do his duties properly and let his subordinate betrayed him again

If it is not enough for them to plan to kill him in the past and now they want to destroy the village..

He was so angry until he smacked the table very hard, his heart filled with anger and hatred..

Is it not enough for him to be a hero for their village..

Unbuttoned his shirt, " Look like I'm not gonna see her face today.. '' Scorned on his face changed to a smile etched when Layla came to his mind.

I'm sorry Layla, even though we just started.. But I'd already left you " .He says to himself. Hoping Layla will understand him and will wait for him to come .

How is your relationship with Kazekage, Sayuri?..

Sayuri hand stopped washing the dishes when her father spoke to her, " It alright , father. She says very softly.

Can't hide the smugness on his face, Kantarou feels so glad right now as he plans to start moving.. " Then, should you ask him now to live with him?

Shocked by her father, one of the dishes slips from her hand and shatters. " wh.. What-..

What are you shocked about?!.. It is not that unusual for you to start living with him seeing you are his fiance now.. Not that strange woman.. " . Sayuri could hear his voice so grim.

I wish I could kill that bitch,. She really doesn't know her place .. " Kantarou's expression gets dark as he mentions Layla.. " . And you!. You should seduce Gaara! . If it not sleep with him, it better if you had a child with him that faster the plan. " .. As he says that Sayuri could feel there was a mock between his words.

Listen Sayuri, I want my plan to work successfully.. Don't do anything I dislike. " Understood!.. " His sharp gaze fell into her as Sayuri looked down.

Yes, Father.. She replied as the words seemed stuck in her throat.

Retreating to her room, tears fell down to Sayuri's cheeks..

Her chest hurts so much, she feel want to scream..

She just wants to run.

Looking at herself in the mirror, She saw her green hair that matches her late mother.

Sayuri misses her mother and at the same time she hates her " Why would you leave me alone with Father!.. "

Freedom.

She is envious of Layla that free like a bird, she can go anywhere she likes ,as her feet bring her whenever she goes.. And Layla has something she really wants..

Love from people she loved.

Kenji.. I miss you. Please come and save me right now..

Be my hero..

To be continued.
