Chapter six

Kala and Gaara's talk

1

"…So, Sasuke…how was your dinner with Kala tonight?" Kankurou asked, staring at Sasuke.

"Fine," Sasuke answered, casting a sideways glance to Kala, whom was reading a book.

"Damn, I'm not getting anything from him. I hate one-word answers!" Kankurou thought to himself, so decided to ask Kala a few questions.

"What did you get from…whatever restaurant the Uchiha took you to?" he asked, trying to put a loving smile on his face.

"We went to Olive Garden, and I ordered Shrimp Scampi and Zuppa Toscana," Kala answered, not looking up from her book.

"Well, I guess I should be getting home," Sakura said, looking at Gaara, whom was still working on his jigsaw puzzle.

"Hn," Gaara said, not bothering to look at Sakura.

"…" Sakura sighed, and left Gaara's room.

"Hey, Sakura!" Kala greeted, causing Sakura to look up. "Oh, hey, Sasuke, Kala…Kankurou…" Sakura smiled, slightly.

"What's wrong, Sakura?" Kala asked, a concerned look on her face.

"Nothing," Sakura answered, looking at Sasuke, "How was your date?"

"Fine," Sasuke answered once again.

"Oh…" Sakura said enviously.

"Did Gaara upset you in any way?" Kankurou asked.

"No, why do you ask that?" Sakura asked, now looking at Kankurou, hand on the doorknob.

"Because when you came over here today, you were so happy, now you look pissed!" Kala said arms crossed on her chest.

"It's nothing…" Sakura sighed again.

"Sakura, stay here, and sit on the couch, beside Sasuke, I'll be back!" Kala said, getting up, causing Sasuke's head to snap up, and look at her, then look at Sakura, whom was now sitting next to him, a slight blush on her face.

"…" Sasuke sighed, angrily, putting his face in his hands.

'Knock, knock,' Kala knocked on Gaara's door.

"Come in," Gaara said, looking up, when he saw Kala.

"What did you do to Sakura?" Kala asked, glaring at her twin.

"…Nothing," Gaara answered n an unconcerned voice.

"Like hell you didn't, she looks pissed!" Kala snapped, causing Gaara to look up from his jigsaw puzzle, and glare back at her (nobody dared to snap at Gaara, of the Sand).

"Now, be a good brother, and tell Kala why Sakura's so upset!" Kala said in her sweetest voice, causing Gaara to glare at her even harder.

"Don't use that fake voice on me," Gaara said, getting up from the chair, and sitting next to Kala on the bed.

"Well, sorry," Kala said, lying on the bed, and looking up at her brother, whom was staring down at her.

"Anyways, why is Sakura so mad?" she asked.

"I don't know," Gaara answered, when he heard a voice.

"Please, of course you know why she's pissed!" the voice said.

"Tell me, Shukaku," Kala pushed, also hearing the voice of the monster, whom resided inside herself, and her twin brother.

"You see, Gaara was working on his jigsaw puzzle, and the pink haired girl sat on the bed watching him. She tried her best to start a conversation with Gaara, by asking a whole lot of questions. The ones Gaara did decide to answer were one-word answers. The other questions, he just ignored. When Sakura was ready to leave Gaara didn't acknowledge her presence," Shukaku explained.

"Is this true, Gaara?" Kala asked, as she got off the bed, and stood in front of Gaara.

"Damn, she's like an interrogating officer," Kankurou said.

"It sounds like there's someone else in the room, and Kala's asking him questions. He wasn't in there, when I was," Sakura said, looking at Gaara's closed bedroom door.

"Sure, he was, you just didn't know it. Don't tell me you forgot about Shukaku, the reason Gaara and Kala are not allowed to sleep," Kankurou said, "Seems as if Gaara's not giving Kala the answers, that she wants, so Shukaku is telling her everything that happened!"

"Oh…" Sakura trailed off.

"It's true, so what?" Gaara asked, going back to his jigsaw puzzle, which was coming along quite nicely.

"So what? What the hell do you mean, so what? Now, she thinks you don't care about her!" Kala yelled hands balled into fist.

"…I don't," Gaara answered, deciding to ignore the fact that his sister was yelling at him.

"What do you mean you don't…?" Kala started.

"…She's my friend, nothing more, nothing less," Gaara interrupted, "Now, go away!"

"…Well, tell her that," Kala said, and complied with Gaara's wish.
