Chapter 3

It's the next morning and someone is going to get one big surprise…

Kitami's PoV

I wake up tired and colder then usual. It's late morning now, but I feel like I didn't get enough sleep. Wait a second…WHY IN THE HELL AM I NOT WEARING ANY CLOTHES! I freeze and look besides me. He's just laying there…stupid, if he did anything to me I'm going to kill him.

"Hey, get up." I say while I kick him.

He still doesn't get up. I pull all the covers off of him and before he reacts, I wrap myself in the blanket. Finally he wakes up.

"Wha…?" Is all he says.

"Kankuro…" I say while I sit back down on the bed. "We didn't…did we?"

"Did what…if you mean if we slept together then…well what do you think." He answers.

"…"

"Kitami…" Kankuro touches my arm, but I flinch.

I can't believe this…I've only been here 3 days and I've already made a mistake. I can start to feel the tears come to my eyes. What have I done? He sees me, and comes over to hold me. I start to cry right in his arms. He tries to soothe me, but it's not working very well. He tells me he's sorry, that he'll try to fix it. I tell him you can't fix something like this, but he still insists in making sure that I'm happy. He tells me that he'd do anything for me…He tells me:

"I love you…"

I turn to face him. I try to see if he's lying or something to throw that statement off, but I find none. He kisses me so softly telling me that he just wants me to be happy.

"I love you too." I whisper so softly that I'm afraid he might not have heard me. He does. I tackle him so that I'm on top of him. I suddenly feel so much happier. I whisper in his ear to get dressed. He listens obediently and goes. I sit on the bed pondering the words he's told me…

Gaara's PoV

I sit in my office, thinking about yesterday afternoon. I can still hear Emiko's voice softly singing, I can't stop thinking about her. The doorbell rings and I stand up to answer it. When I open the door, a girl suddenly pops out of nowhere hugging me.

"Emiko-neechan!" She cries.

"Um…Tamu-chan…over here…" Emiko says.

The girl, Tamu or whatever her name is, let's go of me thankfully and skips over to Emiko.

"Emiko-neechan? You're so much more um…bigger?" Tamu says

Emiko's eye is twitching and I give a small smile. I start to walk away past her until she grabs my arm. She gives me the look of 'you-are-not-leaving-me-alone-with-her'. So I stay reluctantly and I introduce myself to the girl.

"I'm Tamu-chan! Emiko-neechan's cousin." She says.

"Can you believe that this girl is supposed to be 17 years old?" Emiko whispers to me. She grabs my hand for support and I squeeze her hand.

"Aww. You two are SO kawaii (cute)!" Tamu shouts.

"Get…out…now…" Emiko says.

"Now Emiko, that isn't nice to say to a guest." Kitami says as she is walking with Kankuro towards us. I notice his arm around her waist, but just ignore it because my concern is right next to me.

"Tamu-chan! What brings you here?" Kitami asks.

"I'm staying with all of you until the wedding!" she says.

Emiko looks like she is going to faint from all of the stress. Well, she does, but I catch her in time so she doesn't fall to the ground. I carry her to my bedroom, which will belong to both of us in a couple of months and lay her down on the bed. I sit down next to her holding her hand. Kankuro pokes his head through the door and I turn to him.

"Is she okay?" He asks me.

"She'll be fine." I answer.

Kankuro leaves and she starts to wake up again. I look back over to her, and see her open her eyes slowly. She sits up squeezing my hand and turning to face me. She smiles and calls Yuki. Her small wolf climbs up on the bed although with a hard time, I help her up, but she bites me. It didn't hurt me, but you could physically feel the wound. Emiko glares at her pet, and then Yuki comes over to me and climbs onto my lap looking at me saying that she is sorry.

"Her bite is poisonous, give me your hand." Emiko tells me. I listen to her, and she takes the finger where Yuki had bitten me. She puts my finger in her mouth and starts to suck the poison out of my blood. She stands up and goes over to the sink in the linking bathroom to the room. She come back with a band-aide and puts it on my finger.

"Yuki says she's sorry." She says.

"Tell her that I'm fine." I said looking down at the wolf in my lap.

Emiko looks away from me, so I cup her face with one of my hands. I force her to look at me and I smile at her lightly. I kiss her forehead and tell her to come sit next to me. She listens and I wrap my arm around her. By now, Yuki is running around on the huge bed playing with the sand that on put around her. Emiko's head is on my shoulder staring at Yuki with love. She looks back at me with that same look, and kisses my neck. My skin is tingling with a burning passion. I hold Emiko closer so I could smell the perfume that she wears. I think I could get used to her so close to me all the time.

Kankuro's PoV

I'm tired…but only of because what happened last night. I might have upset Kitami. She is a little more distant now. God, I hope I didn't hurt her. I enjoyed our little event last night, it was probably the best I've ever had. I'll have to talk to her about sooner or later. I told her I loved her, no, love her. Of course, she told me she loves me, but still. I have to talk to her. Too bad she's out with her cousin Tamu…

Now I'm bored out of my mind. Maybe I should tell Gaara what happened. I walk over to his room, but I find him with Emiko in his arms. He kisses her softly and looks at her with a look I've never seen before. I leave them alone and go back to my room. Maybe I'll find something to do…

Emiko's PoV

As I sit in Gaara's arms gazing at my little pet, I wonder why I feel so close to the one I thought I would despise for the rest of my married life. Who would think that one night on that roof could change my whole perspective of him like this. I'm not entirely close to him, but close enough to know I could just take a chance to this relationship…

"Whee!" I could hear Tamu come back from her small trip with Kitami. Something's bothering her… I'll talk to her later. Tamu pokes her head through the door. I glare at her, but she still comes in non-the-less.

"What are you two doing?" She asks us.

"We're sitting here watching Yuki." I answer her.

"Oh. Can I watch with you guys?" Tamu asks.

"…Sure, if you'd like…" I tell her.

She jumps on the bed and plays with Yuki like she was her own. I soften my gaze. I feel Gaara tighten his grip on me, and I blush.

Kitami's PoV

I'm so tired. Not only from last nights…activities…but also from watching Tamu-chan. Jeez, if I ever have a kid, I pray that he or she won't be as hyper as her. I walk up and down the hallway not knowing what or where to go. I go back to Kankuro's room to see if he's there. Well, he is. I turn around to go back, but he sees me and grabs my arm.

"Where are you going?" He asks me.

"Nowhere…" I answer.

"hmph. Sure. I need to talk to you…" He pulls me over to the messy bed and sits me down.

"You're avoiding me, and I want to know why." Kankuro says.

"I'm not avoiding you. I'm just finding more interesting things to do then stay with you." I say.

"Oh ya. And walking around the hall is more fun then me."

"Have you tried to walk around the hallway lately?" I ask.

"…"

:sigh: "Fine. I'm ignoring you. But it's not because I'm mad at you or anything, I'm just a little confused and concerned. Look, I just need a little time to myself. I'm staying for a whole week you know." I tell him.

"Okay, fine. I get it. But just how much time does a girl need?"

I lean towards him and whisper, "I think I've had enough time."

I push him down and run out of the room. If he wants me, he's gonna have to catch me.
