Title: Who Said Anything About Candy?
Rating: T for implications
Summary: The Kazekage learns that Halloween's not just about the candy. Written for a holiday challenge.
Comments: This was written for a GaaraSakura community on livejournal for their Halloween contest. I had a lot of fun with it, as it was basically just an excuse to write tanuki!Gaara and nurse!Sakura. XD
So please enjoy:D
"And we are doing this, why?" The look he was giving her said that the Kazekage was most definitely not amused.
"Because it'll be fun, trust me." She smiled, trying not to laugh at his expression and the way the tanuki ears drooped. While she had no idea where Naruto had gotten those from, she had to admit the overall effect was rather endearing. Not that she'd mention that to Kazekage-sama, surely no.
His frown deepened and he gave her another one of his looks that said he was only putting up with this because of Naruto and crushing her in a sand coffin was absolutely out of the question. The fluffy tail that had bonded to his skin from chakra exposure lashed in irritation. "I'm not exactly fond of candy."
"Who said we were dressing up to collect any?" The wicked smile Sakura sported caught him off-guard, and he found himself leaning away from the mednin out of self-preservation, his eyes widening as her hand stroking his tail sent a shiver up his spine.
So that was her game.
Smirking, his lips peeled back over his teeth in a mimicry of a smile. "Didn't anyone tell you that cornered tanuki bite?"
Glossy red lips formed a playful pout, and jade green eyes glittered behind soft pink bangs. "I suppose I should be careful, then."
Sensing something in his gaze, Sakura bolted with a mock squeak of fear, but didn't get very far before Gaara pounced. She probably wasn't really trying, but as he pinned her to the floor, the front of her glossy vinyl mednin dress tugging open, he found he didn't really care.
A/N: Thanks for reading! Comments and crits are always welcomed.
