Day 40..

Standing at room number 18, Gaara hesitates knocking at the door as he walks back and forth outside her wad.. Maybe it is better for him to send Kankuro here to fetch Layla back instead of him. A long sighed escape from Gaara mouth, but he was longing to see her face

'Layla, can I come in?..

Gaara twisted the doorknob to open the door but he was surprised when Layla was not inside the room anymore hurriedly he checked on the bathroom but Layla was not in there too.. He starts panicking when he remembers the time Layla escaped from him a long time ago . Nurse!!! He yelled loudly as the nearby nurse ran to his voice.

Yes, Kazekage sama? ' The nurse asked between her breaths.

Where is Layla?!!

The nurse was scared when Gaara suddenly threw a fit, " Where is she!!..

Sh-she..

Without wasting any time Gaara hurriedly walked out from the ward room, until he couldn't notice Temari and Shikamaru called his name as they watched Gaara exited the hospital with a scary expression..

I wonder what happened?" .. Shikamaru patted Temari's shoulder while pointing his finger at her behind.

Turning her body in the direction of Shikamaru point, The doctor and nurse were panicking over something ..

Yo!, you guys still here? .. Kankuro suddenly appears behind them and still hasn't noticed the ruckus.. Hmm? Tilting his head and he saw a ruckus in front of them.. " Hey!! Did something happen? Kankuro shouted at them while Temari and Shikamaru were curious too.

Aah, Kankuro sama.. ' The doctor came to them looking so terrified. Layla sama disappears and we don't know where she's going..

Layla?!! Temari remembers the woman that accompanied Gaara to Konoha.. " Is she still here?!!

Kankuro knew it was gonna be this way, slapped his face he just hoped Gaara wouldn't do something like that night again " It better you go home Temari, Shikamaru san I will go find Layla too before any bad happens.

Turning his gaze back to the pitiful doctor, " Don't worry Gaara won't be mad at you.. " Kankuro said before ran out of the hospital.

Wait up!! KANKURO!!!. ahhhh " Temari so upset by her siblings while stomping her feet on the floor.. "You're gonna wreck the floor "

Her eyes flared when her husband teased her.. Hmph!,

Hmm,

A cold air comes out from her mouth while her body shivers from the cold weather. She regrets not wearing a jacket before she went out earlier.

"Uhmm, looking at the Sunagakure scenery at night is really pretty. Thanks to Kenji, she got a special place when she was bored . She always comes here to cliff faces. Maybe because Gaara's subordinates know her, they let her be here freely.

Curled her knees up to her chest, Layla hummed melody while her finger tapped in rhythm . She enjoys her alone time very well and feels like all bad negative things are washed away.

Kiryuu, Garu, Koyuki nee sama and Miki chan.. Layla wonders what they are doing right now.. She wonders when she will meet them again.

Ahhh, I want to see them.. " .. She says while looking up at the star.

What are you thinking of doing like this?!.. " Turning her head to the voice, Layla startled and saw Gaara standing while running out of breath.

Gaa-..

All of sudden, Gaara roughly held her wrist and pulled her up " .. That hurts, ' Layla whined.

Let's go home.. '

Layla went pale when Gaara said to bring her back into that house hurriedly she retreated her hand back, "No!.. She declined . I don't want to.. Her body started shivering with fear as she still remembered freshly that night.

His vein popped out as Layla resisted . I had it enough although I tried to nice you pushed me away. Are you that desperate to want me to be a bad guy??!

She backs off when Gaara suddenly walks closer at her as his face darkened looking, surrounding them with no one on the sights. Wh-what are...trying to do??

What do you think? He said it was so sarcastic. " Gently caressing her cheeks while lowering his body to match her height " 'There is no place on earth I wouldn't find you if you escaped from here .. So, it's useless if you think you can't run from me..

Layla blacked out when Gaara hit the back of her neck, made her pass out and fell into Gaara arms.

Wrapping his hand on the back of her knees and her back, Gently Gaara carried her in his embrace 'It time to go home sweetie ' .. He whispers at her. And I make sure you can't leave me again .

Carefully leaning her head on his chest, Gaara slowly walked, afraid she would have a muscle cramp when she woke up .. He could feel Layla was lighter than before.

Misaka san!!, open the door " ..

Gaara?!.. The red haired man was surprised when the one who opened the door was Temari instead of Misaka.. Oh my god ' Temari shouted as she saw Layla on Gaara arms.

What happened to her? '

Gaara walked past Temari while the blond woman followed him from behind. ' I will explain, just let me bring Layla upstairs,' Gaara says as Temari nodded.

Slowly he put Layla on his bed and tucked her with a blanket after giving her a kiss on forehead Gaara walked out from the room and went downstairs.. " Is she asleep? Temari asked as soon Gaara sat beside her in the living room ..

Where shikamaru? He searched for his sister's husband.

He is already asleep. "Gaara what happened between you and Layla.. She isn't your fiance right?

He sighed, " She will, I just need some time to sort things out.. He says , as his expression weary.

Well if you don't want to talk about this now I can wait, I know you do this for a reason.. ' Temari put her hand on top of his hand. Thank you, Temari..

Come here'.. His eyes widened when Temari hugged him and patted his hair.. " You always kept your problem to yourself try to rely on us sometime "

Without even his notice, Gaara fast asleep as Temari continues to pat his hair..
