A Night To Remember
Chapter Six: Bring Me To Life
Ok, um, I was gonna wait for more reviews, but I got bored, HA, so I decided to post this. Anyway, as I was going through my chapter management thing to add new chapters everywhere, I noticed... I have ALOT of fics out. Go figure. Lol. I have two new ones how, called Gaara's Clues, and This Much I Know Is True... I only got one review for TMIKIT, so far... hey, that makes a word... is tmikit a word?
Note: This chapter is a song chapter for Bring Me To Life by Evanescence.
Gaara peered into Rynn's window, feeling a strange sense of nervousness; he wasn't sure if she would be angry with him or not. He had seen Temari angry with Shikamaru when he'd "run away," as she had so pleasantly put it, and it wasn't cheerful to behold. But, Temari and Shikamaru always seemed to resolve their differences and get back together.
And if she doesn't forgive you, you can always squish her.
'Shut up, Shukaku.' Looking around, he saw her sitting on her bed, reading a manga, loud music blasting from the speakers. From the way she continuously punched the wall every time she turned the page, he had a feeling she was sort of mad.
Oh, you think? No wait, how 'bout I just shut myself up?
Gaara sighed and rapped his knuckles on the window. He saw her lift her head, see him, and look at her manga again without even batting an eyebrow. He growled angrily at being ignored and banged his fist on the glass.
"Go away! I don't want to talk to you!" she shouted, turning up the volume.
He frowned and, using the sand, worked open the window and stepped inside. He suppressed a gulp when he saw she had gone so far as to bring one of her dogs in with her. Tsubasa knew him well by now, but if Rynn gave the order, he had a feeling the dog would be eating to be eating sand very soon.
"Get out of my room!" she shouted, jumping up.
Instead of leaving, however, he moved closer, reaching out to touch her cheek. "Rynn..."
"Get out!" she shouted again, moving to slap him, but got stopped by the sand. Looking slightly bewildered, she said again, "Get out of my room! I don't want you here!"
"Rynn, you don't understand," he said quietly, moving closer.
"Oh, I understand!" she snapped, stepping back, her cheeks flushed, as he reached out to touch her waist in an effort to pull her towards him like he had seen Kankurou do to Kyu. "I understand that you used me!"
"No, I didn't..."
"Oh, yeah, right!" She went back to shouting at him. "Here's a tip; most guys tend to stick around!"
"Rynn ... It wasn't ... I was ... your brother..." Why couldn't he just talk?!
Um, because she could probably kill you at any time, she's so mad?
"Oh really? Well, my brother sure as hell didn't stop you last night, did he?!" she shouted, moving away again, causing him to take a step closer. "How many other girls have you done this to?!"
"Actually," he said quietly, moving closer so she was up against the wall. "You're my first."
"Oh, yeah, you needed a practice round, huh?" She looked like a caged animal, her eyes twitching to the door and window, as if looking for an escape route.
"No," he said, still quiet, moving closer, his fingers gently stroking her soft cheek. "I wanted to show you ... that I like you."
She faltered at that. "Really?"
He nodded and leaned down on her, capturing her full, soft lips with his.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
He felt her whisper some form of endearment as he pulled her to him, his soft kiss turning into a tremor of passion as his hands moved up her sides, pulling up her shirt with them.
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Sand-nin's house
Temari woke up to find Shikamaru laying next to her, without a trace of sleep, starring at her. 'Was he watching me all night?' When he saw she was awake, he smiled slightly and pulled her on top of him, his calloused hands creeping up her back.
"Morning," he said quietly, kissing her neck passionately.
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
A shudder moved through her as he kissed his way down her collarbone, his hot tongue grazing her throat. Her hands found the band keeping his hair in check and, after a few moments of fumbling, she tore it off, a cascade of soft brown hair falling over his eyes, flowing across the pillow. She smiled, running her fingers through it lovingly as his hands cupped her shoulders, bringing her down on him, gasping with pleasure.
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
Next room
Kankurou mumbled under his breath, one eye cracked open as he rolled over, preparing to kiss the soft body next to him, but finding there was none. He frowned and sat up, looking around. "Kyu-chan?" he hissed, so as not to disturb the two in the next room.
"Yeah?" He looked up. She smiled at him, closing the door, and crawled under the covers with him again. He smiled, tugging on the hockey jersey she was wearing.
"What's this?"
"Oh, I just borrowed it," she said casually, slipping her arms in and letting him pull it over her head; it was big enough to look like a dress on her, covering her to her knees. "I went down for a snack."
"Oh." He pulled her against him, spooning her, and wrapped an arm around her waist, twirling a strand of her soft, obsidian hair in his fingers. "Well, warn me next time; I panic when I wake up and you're not there. It's been happening at an alarming frequency nowadays."
She smiled guilty, rolling over and nipping his neck as apology.
Frozen inside without your touch, without your love
Darling only you are the life among the dead
Kankurou smirked and rolled over, holding himself up with a hand on either side of her, kissing her throat, moving slowly down to her shoulder, then back over her collarbone, drawing gasps of pleasure and moans for him to continue, her hands crawling up his back as he continued, kissing the hollow of her throat, where he knew she was weak, causing her to gasp, her hands gripping his hair almost painfully and he lowered himself on her.
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here, there must be something more
Bring me to life
(A/N: Anyone besides me noticed that Kan-kun and Kyu are the only ones who haven't had any arguments with each other? This is bothering me ... They need more obstacles. Anyway, I like to think that was worth the wait... And if I don't get a heapin' lot of reviews on this, I'm not going to continue... My confidence sucks because of TMIKIT...SO PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!)
