Loved by the Enemy
Chapter 4: A New Enemy

Naomi was sleeping when she felt something move in her bed. At first she didn't care, she thought it was her cat, but when it did it again, she remembered that she was in the village of Sand and her cat was in the Village of Mist. So jolted upwards and saw the person she really didn't want to see, Troy.

"Good morning Princess, had a good sleep?" He said in his calm and smooth voice that any girl would melt. But Naomi wasn't any girl and she found Troy to be the most annoying person in the whole world.

"What the hell are you doing on my bed?" she asked still quite tired.

"Waking you up of course, what else would I be doing? Smelling your hair? Watch you sleep calmly?"

"Troy you are creepy, now get out of my room and wait for me in the living room, okay?"

"Why?"

"Because I'm going to change and I really don't want you to watch me."

"Fine, but if you scream, I'm running right back in and not leaving till you are ready, understand."

"Yes, now LEAVE!" Naomi screamed. She watched him leave the room and close the door behind him. She threw her blanket off her and ran towards her dresser to get some clothes, then ran towards the bathroom. She changed rapidly, brushed her teeth and hair, and put her make up on.

She didn't even bother looking for her shoes; she just opened the bathroom window and started climbing out of it. It was hard since the apartment was on the second to last floor. So she had to be very careful, any wrong slip and she would fall.

As soon as Naomi was outside, she closed the window and started moving to the left towards another window with bars. Naomi was so close to the window, when she slipped and started falling like a rock.

She was able to grab on to something before she landed on the ground, then she let go and started running away from the apartment.

Back at the apartment, Troy was worried about Naomi since she was taking longer than usual in the bathroom. He knocked on her door, "Naomi, are you okay?" No reply.

Troy entered the room, and didn't find her, he walked towards the bathroom, and the door was locked. "Naomi, are you in there?" No reply once again.

"Hey, if you don't answer me, I'm breaking down the door," he said and still no answer. Troy kicked the door open to find the bathroom empty, just like Naomi's room. He walked towards the window and noticed a piece of Naomi's blue skirt. "Shit."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naomi ran as far as she could, she didn't know where she was going, but she just wanted to get away from Troy. After running for 20 minutes, Naomi stopped in a shady area, which was rare to find, she looked at her hand and it was bleeding and her feet were burning.

"It would have been smarted if you wore shoes," said a voice out of nowhere, she wondered if Troy followed her.

"Who's there?" She said in a tired voice.

"Look up." She did and saw Gaara standing upside down; he looked like he was glued to the ceiling.

"Oh, it's you, thought it was someone else. What do you want?"

"Who did you thought I was and why were you running in such a hurry?"

"I thought you were an evil dwarf here to break my feet and I was running towards you because I found out I'm madly in love with you," Naomi said in a sarcastic voice. Gaara fell from the ceiling on Naomi's last words.

"Oh, did you hurt yourself," Naomi said laughing. Gaara landed on his head, but he didn't hurt himself, his sand didn't allow him to. He got up slowly and just looked at Naomi before speaking.

"Can I ask you a question?" Gaara said in a nervous voice.

"You just did, but you can ask another question."

"This is going to sound awkward, why don't you fear me?"

"That doesn't sound awkward."

"But it is, everyone in this village fears me or hates me, even your parents do. You are the only one who ever insulted me, who ever laughed at me, and make sarcastic comments. Why, why do you do that and not fear me?"

"I find you more of a threat than you know; you are the first guy that I ever met that didn't pay attention to me. Everywhere I go, single guys, even some married ones, give me more attention than I need and do what ever I ask them to do. You are on Lala-land and you don't give a damn to what happens to me. And the reason I act different around you is because-"

"There you are, I been looking all over for you, Naomi," came Troy's voice from behind her, and Naomi knew something bad was going to happen.

Troy walked towards Naomi and put his arm around her shoulder and looked at Gaara. "Hey are you trying to steal my girl from me raccoon-boy. I doubt it she would ever go for a guy like you."

"Troy shut up. One I'm not your girl, two he has a greater chance with me than you do. My father asked you to look out for me, not to spread rumors. Now get lost."

Naomi took Troy's arm away from her shoulder and took a step away from him. He was still looking at Gaara with angry eyes and Gaara was looking at him with an angry face.

"I know, me and raccoon boy here, will fight for your love Naomi, whoever wins, wins your love." Gaara wanted to shut him up so badly, and he would have to but he thought of what Naomi would think of him. Why do I care if she finds me to be a bad person?

"Troy lets go back to the apartment before someone gets hurt. I really don't want you two to fight," Naomi said looking at Gaara rather than Troy.

"Fine, you motherfucker raccoon-boy got lucky," he said and grabbed Naomi by the arm and walked off. Naomi turned her head to look over her shoulder and said "bye" and waved her hand. Gaara smiled for a second, and then went back to his neutral self, neither angry nor happy.

Gaara started to walk away when he realized that Naomi never finished what she was going to say, and Gaara wanted to know what it was since she sounded so serious.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night, Gaara was sitting on the roof, staring at the stars. Lately, that been something he did every night, and it relaxed him. Only tonight, it wasn't working, he kept thinking about what that guy said and how easy it would have been to kill him.

The only reason he didn't kill him was because Naomi was there and he didn't want her to see the real side of Gaara. In a way he feared that if she saw that side of him, she would never talk to him again.

"What's wrong with me? I never cared for what people thought about me, now I do? This is not me, it's not."Gaara told himself, ever since Naomi and her family came, he been acting different. He usually killed one person every night, now he kills one person a week. He wondered why that was, why he felted funny around Naomi.

Gaara noticed that a sand storm was coming, so he decided to go inside and think about his problem more in his room. Gaara walked downstairs and the first room he passed was the study. Temari was inside doing something on the computer; Gaara passed the study saying a sand storm was coming and kept on walking.

When Gaara finally reached his room, he entered it and locked the door. He thought it was ironic that he had a bed in his room when he didn't sleep. He walked towards the bed and took off his shirt and pants, sand storms made the night hotter.

Gaara laid in his bed wearing nothing but his boxers and thought about Naomi.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naomi was in her bed; her father yelled at her so much that she wasn't tired anymore. Naomi thought that her father over reacted about Naomi running away. At least this time her mother was on her side and actually did something.

Naomi kept tossing and turning, but she just wouldn't go to sleep, to make things worse, her mind was somewhere else. Ever since Troy brought her back to the apartment, her mind was somewhere else, thinking of someone else.

Naomi took her blankets off and got off her bed. Very quietly she put her clothes back on and got her sandals. She opened her door slowly and quietly, she walked towards the front door and closed it.

She ran down stairs so if anyone heard her coming outside, they would have a hard time finding her. Once she reached outside, she started walking towards the kazekage home.
