Chapter 9: The end?
Gaara sat on the window sill, occasionally glancing at Myaaki and back at the moon. It was the second night at the hospital, but she showed no signs of recovering. She looked so helpless against the white pillow, her skin was so pale. Suddenly, she stirred. Gaara dropped from the window and sat on the chair next to her bed. She tried to open her eyes, and mumbled something.
Myaaki finally opened her eyes and the first thing she saw were Gaara's ocean-like eyes.
"G-Gaara!" she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, and stayed like that, sobbing and whispering something.
Taken aback, Gaara nearly fell out of his seat. He felt her grip tighten, but no so much that he would choke. He wrapped his arms around her, and cradled the red head in his arms.
For 12 years, he secretly longed for someone to not fear him, to not try and kill him. And wanted for someone to love him.
The two stayed there for what seemed like hours, but a nurse came in just at the wrong moment.
"Er...I see Ms.Yoshiko has awoken."
They let go quickly, and Myaaki blushed. Even some pink rose in Gaara's cheek.
The nurse smiled and checked Myaaki's vitalities and blood pressure.
"You know what, I think you can go home a day early! You seem all healed in such a short period of time. I'd give you your clothes, but the blood wouldn't come off...so we threw them out. We have other clothes though, if you don't mind." said the nurse.
Glancing down at her hospital robes, Myaaki sighed.
"Er..ya, ok. What do you have?"
"Well, this was charity, and its the only thing that's in your size. Sorry." apologized the nurse, holding up a small mini skirt and red halter top, revealing her midriff. There were ninja shoes, but they were like thigh high boots.
Myaaki sweatdropped, but put on the clothes anyway.
Emerging from the bath room, Myaaki blushed furiously, and looked at Gaara, as if expecting some sort of comment.
But Gaara was comepletely red, and a drip of blood dropped from his nose. The nurse smiled and gave the girl her forehead protector.
"Erm..let's just go, ok?" suggested the embarressed red head, taking the headband and walking to the door.
Gaara just followed her.
Myaaki kept on glancing left and right, holding her hands in a fist up to her mouth, hoping no one she knew would see her like this.
Reaching the house, Myaaki quickly scurried inside. Gaara closed the door behind her and looked around. Temari was sitting on the couch looking at Myaaki surprised, then glancing at Gaara, then back at Myaaki. She jumped up and hugged Myaaki tightly crying,
"Oh my god, Myaaki! Your ok! We thought you would be in the hospital for another day!" Temari squealed, and held Myaaki out at arms length, scanning her.
"You look really well! Wow, oooh Myaaki! It's good to have you back!" Hugging her one last time, Temari ran to the stairs and hollared up the stairs,
"KANKURO! Get your lazy ass down here! Myaaki's back!"
Silence, then many thumps came down the stairs and Kankuro flew at Myaaki.
"YOU'RE BACK! I thought you were gonna DIE! Um...what ARE you wearing?" Kankuro looked at her ensemble quizzically.
"Eh heh...My clothes were thrown out 'cause they had too much blood on them to wash off, so the nurse gave me this." explained Myaaki, tying the forehead protector around her neck.
"Please...don't stare Kankuro." Myaaki blushed furiously.
"Right," Kankuro looked away and wiped his nose. "So. Um, we need to go grocery shopping, let's go Temari!"
Kankuro grabbed his sister's hand and ran out the door, leaving Myaaki and Gaara alone in the house.
The two stood there, not moving at all. Myaaki fidgeted with her fingers and Gaara just stared at the huge Grandfather clock. Myaaki suddenly hugged Gaara around the shoulders, burying her head in the crook of his neck.
"Thank you," she mumbled.
Gaara wrapped his arms around her and embraced her, not wanting to let go. He could feel her tremble in his arms, as if crying. Holding her out, he looked into her eyes, which were shining with tears, and kissed her with all he had.
Myaaki closed her eyes and got lost in him.
They finally came up for air, Myaaki's eyes sparkling, smiling.
Seeing her content face, Gaara just had to smile. And not a grin or a smirk, an actual smile.
Temari and Kankuro had been watching from a window, high-fiving each other. Kankuro glanced at his baby brother and smiled. It had been way too long since he had seen Gaara smile.
Way too long.
