"Speaking"

The bus stopped at a gate and everyone got out. There was a wall along the road. The gate was black and there was a panel on the side. There were trees side by side on both sides of the driveway that led to the house that they couldn't see yet and the grass was still green. It was a beautiful day with a few clouds in the sky.

Desiree took a deep breath and smiled. "Its good to be home." She walked to the panel and pressed a button.

"Hello Mathers residence." Said a male voice from the panel.

"Hello Neal. Its Desiree and my guests." She said back.

"Oh master I'll let you in." There was a buzz sound and the gate opened by it self.

Desiree motioned for them to fallow and they did so carrying their bags and stuff.

"Des?" Spike said. She turned to look at him. "Carder and I are going to go home now, so call us tomorrow ok?"

"Ok bye guys." She said.

"Bye!" the others said too.

Desiree started to walk down the long driveway. She had her hands full of her stuff. "Ok scenes this is my house I have 5 simple rules." She looked to make sure everyone was paying attention. They were so she continued. "1 there are swords and things like that around the house and they are for decorations, but they are real so you can not- I repeat CAN NOT touch them. Number 2 there are black gates around that go to about your waist in certain parts of the house so if you go through them please close them behind you because Chris is not aloud in those areas-"

"Who's Chris?" asked Kakashi who just stopped from looking at the vast property that she owned.

"Chris is my three year old son." Desiree said like it was nothing. "I'll tell you guys latter about it. Now back to the rules. 3 I don't mind if you eat whatever you want but don't eat me out of house and home. Neal my butler goes grocery shopping once a week so if you want something he'll get it for you. And 4 I have three car's and NO ONE is aloud to touch them. I don't even let Spike touch them and 5. No swearing around Chris he's only 3 years old." She looked sternly at them. "Now are my rules clear?" she asked with a smile. She saw nods and Oks from people.

"Holy shit." Was all Kiba said as he saw the house. The house was big not a mansion but big none the less. It was two floors. It was white with Dark green shudders and flowers of different sorts everywhere. The garage at the side was made of different color stones. By the house there was a smaller building that had the same colors of the house. "What's that?" he pointed to the smaller building.

"Oh that's my music room. It has a recording studio and all my instruments except for a grand piano that's in the house." I had to take down some things in the house so that I would be able to fit you guys in because there were only 3 guest rooms now but now there are 5." She opened the door and motioned them to fallow.

Ten-ten looked around. There were three levels. One was the main floor that they were on that had rooms on ether side one of witch led to a hall. There was a white marble floor with green carpeting that went down the hall. There also were paintings around the entrance. Another level was upstairs that there were two sets of stairs that curved a bit. The lower level was rate in-between the stairs that led upstairs but they only had four or five steps down. It led to a big sort of sitting area but she couldn't see it too well. Before she could look around further she saw a man walk in. he was about late 30s early 40s. he had graying brown hair and was wearing a butler suit.

"Master welcome home." He said with a bow.

Desiree laughed. "Neal you can stop calling me that." She smiled and handed her stuff to him.

"I'll put your things in your room." He scurried up the stairs.

"That's Neal. He started working here 4 months ago. I got him off of the streets." She looked around. "He does a great work cleaning. Before I just hired a maid service but this is cool because I get perfection for work in the house and I get to help someone from starving on the streets."

"So were are your parents?" Asked Kakashi.

"My foster parents bot this house for me. They live just down the block." She said. "Umm ok lets go." She opened the black gate to go down the stairs.

Sakura looked around. They were in a huge living room with swords and other weapons on the walls. There was a black leather couch and two chairs with pillows all over the ground in front of the huge TV that was plastered to the wall. There was a hall and there was a door behind the couch. They walked to it.

Desiree opened the door to reveal a huge room with a canopy bed and a smaller single bed to the side. "Ok this will be the three girls room because this is the second biggest room in the house. There is a bathroom in here. So get settled in." she motioned to the girls to go in witch they did. "Once your settled you can poke around on your on." She smiled and closed the door behind the three girls.

Sakura looked around. The room was a pretty dull pink with two dressers and a closet. The floor was hard wood but looked nice. She noticed that two of them would have to share a bed but didn't mind because the bed was huge. A big balcony was at the side that led to the back yard. She could see there was a pool. "So who gets to share the bed?" she asked the others.

Ten-ten shrugged, "lets play rock, paper, scissors." So they did. Hinata won so she got the single bed. Ten-ten went to and started unpacking her stuff. "Sakura you seem to have the most cloths so you can use the closet." She said not really caring.

Hinata just sat on her bed quietly. And looked at the couch that was in the room that was by the Balcony.

They walked back up the stairs and were once again on the main floor. Desiree turned to Kakashi. "If you fallow that hallway-" she pointed to the one with the green carpet. "There is a door that goes outside and I have a huge sort of building it has windows all around. Anyway its my exsersis room but there is stairs that lead to a really nice guest room there." She handed him the key to the building. "You're lucky because I have several friends trying to get me to let them move in there." She laughed.

Kakashi smiled and excepted the key. "Thank you Desiree-chan." He walked down the hall and everyone heard the door shut.

Neal came down the stairs. "I'm starting dinner ok?" Desiree only nodded. And he walked down the stairs through the living room that was down stairs and through the hallway.

"By the way were he went to is where the Kitchen and dinning room is." She walked to another room that had a beautiful white everything. Carpets, curtness, couch, ext. "This is the living room that I HAVE to have for important guests or when my faster mom-Kim tries to impress people, but the one downstairs is the one we use." She walked through another door that had nothing but three doors on the opposite sides one in the middle from each other. "The one on the left is Neal's room. This is the bathroom." She opened the middle door to reveal a big bathroom. " And this one is you two's bedroom." She pointed to Neji and Lee. "This was my Office but when I heard you were coming for a month I moved it." She said.

The two walked in and the door shut behind them. Lee took a good look at the room. It was an average sized room about the same as the motel rooms they had. The carpet was dark blue and the walls were light blue. There were two dressers and a single big window. The light cascaded through it. There were two twin-sized beds. A TV sat on a desk that was in the room in front of the window.

Neji just set his stuff on the bed and started unpacking. He was tiered from the trip but didn't admit it. He was glad he was put with Lee. He may be annoying at times but at lest Neji could trust him. And trust for Neji is a big thing.

They walked back to the stairs to go upstairs but Naruto went into a room. "What is this?" he asked. The room was beautiful, it was in an crest sort of shape. The walls were white with dark blue lineing. The floor was a light wood color. There were three windows with blue see through curtains. In the middle of the room a grand piano stood. It was black and there were two samurai swords on it for decorations.

Desiree walked in. "This is like my thinking room. I use this room to get away from things." She pulled Naruto out of the room and went up stairs. There were six doors a long the way. Desiree pointed out what they were. "The first door here is the bathroom you four will share. This door." She pointed to the door beside the bathroom. "Will be Naruto and Kiba's room-and I don't wanna peep from you two." She threatened. "Across from the bathroom is the lining closet. And the room beside that is Chris's." She pointed out. "The room beside Naruto's is Sasuke's and Gaara's room. Mine is across from yours. The master bedroom." She yawned. "I'm going to go have a nice bath to relax, so go to your rooms get settled in and you're free to do what you will." Desiree smiled sweetly at the four and walked into her room.

Kiba and Naruto walked into their room and closed the door. Scowling at each other they sat on their beds.

Naruto looked around. The carpet was white and the walls were a mellow yellow color. It was quit soothing. There was one dresser and a closet. The window was big and it was in between the two beds. There was a desk and a table on ether walls. There was a single painting of a bout on the sea by the door. Naruto liked the room but hated his roommate with an unbridled passion.

Kiba campaigned. "Why am I stuck with a moron?" He asked Akamaru.

"Yah why am I stuck with dog shit?" Naruto said back.

Kiba's eyebrow twitched. "YAH WELL-"

Gaara and Sasuke heard the yelling in the room beside them and rolled their eyes at how annoying those two were.

Sasuke was looking at the red and white walled room. It had white carpeting as well. There were two dressers and a TV. There was a window that showed the back yard. There were two bookshelves in that room with books in it. A comfy chair was at the side or the large room. An empty shelf hung over Sasuke's bed. This was probably the library. He put his clothes in the drawer closes to his bed. 'Hmm at lest I wasn't with Naruto.' He thought to himself. Gaara may be crazy but he wasn't annoying.

Gaara on the other hand put the gourd with his sand and the bag with his cloths in it at the side of his bed. He sat down, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes with nothing to do. It was quit peaceful other then the bickering from next door. He heard Sasuke close the drawer and walk out the door. He let out a sigh looked out the window at.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sasuke walked into the living room to find Lee and Ten-ten fighting over the remote on the floor with all the comfy pillows and stuff. Hinata was sitting quietly in the corner playing with the fish in the giant fish tank with a big smile on her face. Naruto and Kiba were probably still fighting upstairs. He sat on the couch away from Sakura who of course moved closer to him. A black and orange cat jumped on his lap and curled in a ball purring. He rolled his eyes. 'Why me?' he said looking to the sky or in this case the ceiling of this Dark green room with white flooring.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Neji decided to find somewhere to meditate, so he went in the back yard. Witch would have been a good idea if there weren't three vicious dogs starting to chase him around. 'WHAT THE!" he yelled in his head as two twin Rotwilers and a Doberman pincer. He dodged them easy enough but they were working in a pack.

"DUKE! FANG! JESSY! HEAL!" Came Neal's voice from the kitchen window. He smiled at Neji. "They're Desiree's guard dogs. If they don't know you they'll rip you apart." He said that in a serious voice. "They listen to me a little but to Desiree they listen to every command. I'm surprised she didn't say anything to you guys." He said.

Neji walked to a near by Willow tree and sat under it and closed his white eyes. 'She should have said something.'

Kakashi sat on his comfy queen sized bed in the dimly lit room. He felt like he belonged there for some reason the house just gave off the feeling of homeliness. He laid his head on the pillow and raped his hands behind his head. Looked to the ceiling he thought about his best friend that died and the friend who gave him his shirengen. His mind wondered to when he was a kid and his team. He slowly closed his eyes, his breathing became shallow and he fell into a soundless and dreamless sleep.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Desiree walked into her room to find it the way she had left it all save for the stuff on her bed like clean laundry and the stuff she had brought home. Her room was in a leaf green with snow-white carpets and ceiling. She had a king size bed that had silk red sheets and a black blanket that at the moment was occupied by a white cat with brow and black patches. She opened the doors to her balcony that faced the back of the house. There was a lounging bed outside so she could relax as well as a table. Back in her room she had a big wooden desk with a computer on it. A chest at the end of her bed that had candles all over the top for decoration. She has a huge walk in closet filled with wondrous articles of clothing. She had a hutch with a mirror. Pictures of all her friends and other people covered the top of it. She had a big flat screened TV on the wall across from her bed witch was located beside the balcony doors. Her guitar was beside the couch in by the bathroom.

She looked at the clock witch read 6:52. She then petted her cat Dawsen and walked into the big bathroom that had black marble all over the tub the walls, the sink. The floor was whit thou. There was a shower in there with a door but she felt like a bubble bath. Getting undressed and putting on her light blue bathrobe she put some music on. It was Eminem. She liked him. He ran the bath water and put bubbles in it. When the tube was filled she shut the taps off and took out her earrings and lip ring. (AN: my story she can take it out and put it back in) Unfortunately she didn't hear the knock on her door or the closing of it as someone entered her room. Just as she undid her rob and it fell off her shoulders walked in a disgruntled Kiba coming to complain about his roommate.

Kiba stood frozen like a deer cot in the headlights. His jaw dropped and he tried to keep his eyes from going below her neck. Time seem to stand still for him. He gulped as he felt his heart pound in his chest. "Uh-uh-" He couldn't think of a thing to say.

Desiree on the other hand just coughed and put her silky bathrobe back over her shoulders and tied it back up. She really wasn't bothered by it because she was use to people walking in on her. 'I thought I locked the door? Guess not.' She just looked at him with a raised brow. "Can I help you?" she said.

"I-Naruto. Uh I mean-uh.." he still couldn't form words.

"Is this about you and Naruto being roommates?" She asked really wanting to have her nice bubbly bath but couldn't.

Kiba just nodded his head like a bobble head figure.

"No I'm not letting you change rooms." She said as she started to push him out of her room. She opened the door to her room and shoved him out. She smiled at Gaara as she saw him come out of his room. Quickly she turned back to Kiba. "Next time you just waltz into my room like that I'll cut your fucking nuts of." She said to him then smiled. "Just don't let it happen again." Kida nodded dumbly and ran down the stairs. She shook her head at Gaara. "He walked in on me getting undressed." She laughed and went back to her room and locked the door this time.

Gaara was standing there not knowing what to think of what just happened. He was mad at Kiba but his mind kept thinking he should have been the one to walk in on her. He shook his head of those pleasurably sinful thoughts and walked away with a smirk on his face.

They had eaten a wonderful meal prepared by the sweet Neal who decided to go to bed early with no objections.

Everyone was watching a movie called The Grudge sense it was like 9 now.

This was how everyone was laid out in the living room:

One chair contained Kakashi who was amused by the movie. One chair contained Kiba who liked the movie. The couch contained Sakura holding onto Sasuke in the scary parts. Naruto who was so into the movie to notice Hinata rate beside him scared out of her mind. Lee was on the floor leaning in a bean bag chair scared. Neji was on the floor by the table thinking how stupid the people were in the movie. Ten-ten sat beside the long raven-haired boy. Gaara was sitting against the couch liking the blood in the movie. And finally Desiree was laughing at the people getting killed because she for some messed up reason thought it was funny. She was sitting beside Gaara against the couch with her knees to her chest and arms around them.

Desiree would sometimes glanced at Gaara every once and a while. She was wondering what his tattoo meant. "Oh you so are in 'like' with him" Inner Desiree said. 'I know.' Was all she said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After the Movie was over it was late and people went to bed.

Desiree grabbed Gaara's arm to make him stop. Witch he did. She blushed a little and let go. "I was uh wondering what your tattoo meant." She went to touch it but Gaara pulled away.

"Love. It means love." He said quietly

"That's nice-" she was cute off.

"I put it there so I could put it with my name. It means demon who loved only himself." Gaara said with hatred in his eyes. He didn't know why he lived but he came to the conclusion that he existed only to kill all other human beings. By continuing to kill his would-be assassins, Gaara was able to confirm his reason for living. Living to fight for, and love, only himself. Killing others makes him feel happiness and alive in this world. Thinking that all other people exist only to let him feel this way, the world could not be a more wonderful place for him. As long as there exists people other than himself that he can kill. This was until Desiree came into the picture. He felt something he never felt before when ever she would just look at him.

"Why is that?" She looked at him. "Why do you have said eyes?"

Gaara looked at her not knowing if he wanted to tell her his life but something told him he should. "I have never slept in years either the Sand demon Shukaku would take over my body and eat away part of his mind every time I lose consciousness. That's why I told you I don't sleep." He said.

He felt her touch his tattoo with her fingers and he didn't back away this time only closed his eyes. "I have never felt love as my villagers feared and loathed me because of the demon in me. My own father, the Kazakage, sent ninjas to assassinate me since I was 6 years old as my powers were getting out of hand." He took a breath and heard her question.

"What powers?" she asked in a sad voice not knowing how to make him feel better.

"I can control sand." He said in a low voice then opened his eyes to look at hers. "The 1st of the assassins was my uncle whom I thought was the only person who loved me. Ever since the incident, I 'tattooed' the kanji 'love' on my forehead and swore to love only my self and sought to feel my existence by killing others." He finished he thought she was going to fear him now like everyone else and a part of him felt like it would die if she did.

Desiree saw his eyes. It made her feel knots in her stomach. She breathed in deep and took a step foreword knowing in her heart that she wasn't afraid like she should be. Now she knew why the others acted the way they did. She looked into his dull green eyes with her brown ones. She put her hands on ether side of his face and moved in. She kissed his forehead where the tattoo was.

Gaara was in utter shook. No one had ever done anything like that. He closed his eyes and held onto her hands that were on his face. They were the same height witch was perfect for doing that.

Desiree lowered her hands and smiled. "I don't fear you Red."

Before he could respond she walked away into her room. She had just said she didn't fear him. His heart was racing. He put a hand on his heart and then touched where she had kissed him. He hardly knew her but it felt like an eternity. Being around her he felt he didn't have to kill to feel alive.
