Thunder Bird

I don't own Naruto

Chapter Eight

Kaya remained crying softly as Gaara worked up the nerve to demand the truth.

And so, she lead him over to her bed, sitting him down before placing herself in his lap. Her head was on his shoulder, eyes closed.

Gaara wasn't sure if she was asleep or not.

"It started after Sensai took me away from you. Away from Suna... Sensai had also brought two of his other students, and registered us for the Selection Exams that year. I'd been unsure of the abilities of my teammates, but we managed through the Exams. Infact, Hokage said that we'd passed with the most advanced abilities that he'd seen in years. But it wasn't enough to keep my teammates alive...

"I came this year after hearing that you were going to be attending the Exams. I just... I wanted to be sure that you and Temari and Kankuro get through this alright..." Kaya whispered, pressing her forehead against his jagular. The feeling of his warm blood pulsing against her skin was almost enough to drive her crazy.

Gaara wrapped an arm around her waist, the other behind him and keeping them both from falling backwards. At the moment, all that was running through his mind was the girl ontop of him.

Kaya raised her head up to his ear. Gaara shuddered as she started sucking on his earlobe, her tounge running over the three piercings and playing gingerly around each one.

As she pulled away from his ear, Gaara pressed his lips to hers. What they had both intended to be a teasing, innocent contact turned into something much more fierce.

Gaara shifted them, laying her down on the bed under him without breaking the kiss.

Pulling away from him for some air, Kaya's eyes closed as she felt her heart threaten to break out of her chest. Gaara had moved from her mouth to her neck, sucking tenderly on her jagular vein.

Kaya's eyes closed as she dragged her nails down his back, unable to make a sound.

Light hit her closed eyes, and Kaya let out a groan. She turned her head into the warm shoulder she was against, attempting the block the burden.

A string of sand reached up and shut the blinds as Gaara stared down at the body next to him. A small smile played on his lips as he thought of the night's activities. His eyes scanned over the bruising on her lip, to the bite mark on her neck, and then finally to her flat, pale belly.

He had to admit that he was slightly scared of the consequences.

"Kan--" Gaara cut himself off as he entered his brother's room. The distinct smell of some kind of smoke brought all of Gaara's senses to attention.

It was then that Gaara noticed the way Kankuro's arms were behind him. The slight hint of smoke coming out of his nose as he exhaled. The dialated pupils and blood shot eyes.

"You're high." Gaara said, shaking his head. He closed the door behind him, Kankuro seemed to calm down as he realized that Temari wasn't going to catch them.

Offering the joint to his brother, Kankuro sat down on his temporary bed. Gaara took it, taking a deep drag before sitting next to Kankuro.

"So, other than getting high, why did you come here?" Kankuro asked, taking the offered joint back without taking his eyes off of the red head.

"Kankuro, do you know anything about... well, about..." Gaara trailed off, biting his bottom lip and looking to his elder brother in a sense of distress.

Well, I already know about what he and Kaya did last night... Is it possible that Gaara, of all people, could be scared of...? Kankuro decided to help the boy in looking for the word.

"Parenting?" Kankuro offered. Gaara nodded, taking back the joint. "Well... Gaara, you know how a baby's made. I'm not even going to bother covering that. But, do you seriously think that Kaya could be pregnant?"

The red head shrugged, and Kankuro sighed.

"Do you even care about this girl?"

"... yes."

"Does she know that?" Kankuro asked, and Gaara paused in the middle of a drag.

"I'm not sure." He murmered. Kankuro shook his head.

"Don't you think you should have told her before you had sex with her?" Gaara's eyes locked on the floor. He looked up as Kankuro's hand found it's way to his shoulder.

"Don't worry about it. If it's supposed to happen, it will. If not, then atleast you had a taste of her, right?" Gaara nodded, handing his brother back the rest of the joint.

As Kankuro greatfully finished the rest of it, Gaara left the room.

It was surprising how much courage Kankuro had around Gaara when he was high.

Kaya stared out at Konoha from the roof of the rented home. She was supposed to take Naru to turn in their fourms later that day, but right now she needed her peace.

How could I let that happen... Kaya gripped her knees to her chest, resting her chin on them as she watched the town settled down from the early morning frenzy.

She could still feel his hands on her. Him inside of her...

It was enough to make someone crazy.

"Hey, lady!" Kaya's attention turned down to a blonde haired boy... in orange.

Just my luck. She thought sarcasticly. A sugar high genin... hold on a sec...

Kaya's eyes widened as she took a second glance at the boy. He had a strong wall of chakra around him, and her curiousity was peaked even more by the whisker like scars.

"Oi, brat, whaddaya want!" She yelled down, and he grinned at her. Kaya found herself interested in his behavior. He was standing right outside the Sabaku team's temporary resisdence, yet he seemed unaware of the dangers inside.

-Kaya-

-Not right now-

With that, she abruptly cut the connection. For the moment, at least.

She jumped down from the roof, meeting the boy with narrowed blue eyes.

"You're a shinobi, right? Wanna spar?" She nodded at the offer, taking off towards the training grounds.

Gaara watched from the window as Kaya took off. He growled as he realized that she had cut the connection.

Dammit, he needed to talk to her!
