Disclaimer: no don't own Naruto but I do own the girl that Kankuro is talking about…

Small note: this is my first romance so PLEASE tell me what you think, it's also my first Kankuro fanfic along with my first posted monologue.

This takes place the night after their wedding…

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

Silence, the thing I loved most. The peace and calmness that come with silence was almost too wonderful to describe. People are always asking me why I hate kids…. It's because they always seem to come in at the wrong time a breaking, no shattering, that beautiful silence. Temari use to say that silence ruled my life and I use to agree with her (silently). But that all changed when I met you…

Being a ninja means that you have about a 89 chance that you will get hurt, sure even for me, the brother of the great Gaara of the sand, me the great master of puppets… my chances of getting hurt were no different then anyone else's and that mission was in no way different from any other.

I can still remember that fight, if only bits and peaces of it. I remember the screaming of my sister, the eerie silence of my brother, and I remember the pain…oh the pain. I remember passing out seeing first only the sky that faded into darkness. And then waking to see you…

As I slowly regained consciousness I saw you standing over me. Your calm face with that slight smile playing on your lips. Your hazel eyes scanning me as your face broke into a wide grin "So you decided to say with."

At first I didn't know what that meant but soon I learned that I had been on my death bed. I thought it was funny how the first person I saw when I awoke from a 4 week coma was a passing nurse that just happened to promise a fellow nurse that she would check up on me.

After that you came to visit me almost every day. At first I use to ponder why you would care about an insignificant ninja like me but soon I didn't care just as long as I could see your smile and hear your cheerful hello.

My siblings still make fun of me (well mostly Temari) about the time I went to visit you at your work. How was I supposed to know that you worked in the children's part of the hospital? I'll never forget the way you looked when you came over to talk to me with 2 screaming kids in your arms and 3 literally hanging on you. God I hate kids, still do, just probably not as much as back then. Yet through all the pandemonium you still looked as at ease as ever and just as beautiful.

As time went by I learned that you really weren't the quite calm collected girl that I thought you were. Infarct you were probably one of the most hyper, crazy, loud, people I've ever met. You lit up my world, driving me crazy. Yet I still kept coming back for more. You taught me that there's more to live then myself, my puppets, and most of all my silence. You showed me this wonderful colorful world that I had never seen before.

And tonight as you sleep beside me for this first night of our new lives I wonder how I ever lived with out you in my silent little world. Because Lalaith you did the most wonderful thing to me…

You broke my silence.

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

The beginning of this just popped into my head while I was coloring a pic of Kankuro and Lalaith (lah-lithe), which you can see in our deviantart acc on our profile, the rest just fallowed and I just LOVE how the ending turned out.

I might write a full fanfic about these 2, like how they met and such…. But not for a LONG time and only if people are interested…

Anyway PLEASE review and tell me what you think of my first romance.
