Scream


Meditation. This was his form of rest. His only form of rest, seeing as how the bloody demon wouldn't let him sleep. He could, however, sense that Shukaku was sleeping. The red-haired Shinobi felt slightly jealous of the demon-Shukaku could sleep but the vessel couldn't.

Life wasn't fair.

Suddenly, a scream drew him out of this half-conscious trance. At this, Shukaku was up and alert and growling. "That sounds like a girl's scream." 'I know that…' Said Gaara, trying to shut the demon up so he could focus. Taking a metal census of who was in the house he realized…

Mika was the only one...in the house that is.

Kakashi was out training with Naruto, Sasuke had taken Sakura out on a date, the elder Fields had gone out to a birthday party for a friend and wouldn't be back till later…Michelle and Seyann had long since gone home. Ashe caught a male voice saying "…Gut you like a fish…" accompanied by a scream echoed through the house again, blind panic rose within his gut and he crept out into the hall. Sand swirled around him in spikes. The only thing that kept him from charging full force down stairs and killing the intruder was that, based on current dialogue… he already had Mika…the intruder already had his Mika….

His Mika. They signed their own death warrant.

Creeping down the stairs as quietly as he could-all the while continuing to hear screams and smashing. He also heard Mika whimpering-that drove him over the edge.

He couldn't take it anymore. The spikes that had swirled around him formed a giant cloud of sand and propelled him down the stairs at top speed. He stretched his hand out in his typical Desert Funeral hand seal, saying in a venomous voice

"Drop her now."

Mika glanced over at Gaara from the couch where she was lounging with her knees drawn up to her chest.

"Oh…hey! You're up…what are you doing?" asked the Kunoichi, slightly curious…

As she hit pause on the DVD remote.

She turned her full attention to her boyfriend and noticed his position-hand outstretched, ready to use the Desert Funeral. His eyes were still narrowed, the tinge of possessive fury having not quite left his jade orbs.

She looked back over at the TV where the blonde haired girl was frozen mid-scream, while being pursued by a person dressed in black, wearing a white mask.

And she connected the dots.

Closing her mouth so it looked like a straight line, she obviously struggled to repress a laugh but the situation simply called for it-repression was futile.

She threw back her head and began to howl uncontrollably, holding her sides. She grabbed one of the pillows from the couch and pressed it to her face to try and stop laughing. Finally managing to recover, she looked up at her now scowling boyfriend. "You thought I was in trouble?"

With a sullen nod and a wave of his hand, said boyfriend sent the sand sailing back to the gourd in Mika's room. For the first time in his life, Sabaku no Gaara felt like...well...an idiot.

Seeing that he was getting increasingly annoyed with the fact that she was laughing at him and quite touched that he had rushed downstairs to 'save' her, she vaulted over the couch, black hair fluttering behind her. Walking over to the short flight of stairs that connected the kitchen to both the upstairs and downstairs, she reached out a hand which he took and she pulled him down the stairs, until they were so close their noses were almost touching.

"What this is…it's called a Horror movie, or it's called a Slasher. A lot of blood, hence the name. I figure that, since I'm going to be a fighting Kunoichi, I'll see a lot of blood. Normally I don't like this sort of thing-that is, blood-so I figure that, if I desensitize myself to it, I won't mind it as much. I'm attempting to watch a movie called 'Scream' but I haven't gotten very far and I'm already starting to feel a little ill."

As she leaned in closer so there was almost no space between them, she said "I don't like watching it alone…but since you were 'sleeping' before, well I didn't want to wake you up. Come watch it with me now?" Gaara nodded and Mika turned to go back to the couch. Before she could get too far, however, his hand shot out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back close.

Only this time, there was no space between them. Gaara leaned down and kissed her possessively. Pulling back he said, "Well I'm just glad you're ok." Mika smiled softly and said, "Thanks for caring so much Gaa-Kun."

Making their way to, and sitting on the couch together, Mika snuggled into Gaara's arms, glad to have some way of feeling safe. In this position, they began to watch the movie. Every time blood was shed onscreen, however, Mika would see fit to bury her head into his chest-something Gaara didn't mind a bit.

Finally when the movie was over and the credits were rolling, Mika smiled weakly and said "Thanks Gaara, for watching it with me." He held her a little tighter as she drifted off to sleep, head resting comfortably on his chest.

Before he started to meditate again, he reflected on the movie. 'I think I like these horror movies…and not just for the blood' he thought, a smirk on his face.

"I liked it too…"

Gaara blatantly ignored Shukaku as he drifted back off into his meditative state, arms wrapped securely around his girlfriend.
