Chapter 8
Everyone stands in front of the huge building. It has every dress imaginable.
"This is like my favorite store in the world." Kaki said.
"I wonder why…" Tamu said sarcastically.
Emiko's PoV
Okay…I'm bored out of my mind. I don't think anyone else is having much fun either…except maybe Mieko, Kaki, Kari, Kitami and Tamu.
"Mieko?" We all turn around to see Shino with Kiba, Akamaru, and Hinata.
"Well if it isn't my second favorite person in the world." Mieko says.
"Second…?"
"Emiko is my favorite person in the world for a couple of hours."
"Why?" I ask.
"Well, I wanna wear something nice for the wedding and you're probably going to pick something we all hate just to annoy us."
"You know me so well."
"I know…it scares me." Mieko stated. I just glare at her.
I notice that everyone else is going into the store. Even Kiba and Hinata? Wait…oh well. I don't even want to think about it.
The store smells fresh and soothing. Even Yuki who is usually asleep is waking up to smell the place.
"I can't believe that the dog actually fit through the door." Tamu said.
"The dog has a name…" Kiba stated.
"Oh right I'm sorry…it's the owner who doesn't have a name." I see Miko laughing. Then I see a second cat.
"I said I was sorry." Kiba argued.
"Sorry about what?" Kitami asked.
"Nothing!" They both said.
"Tamu…who is that?" I ask pointing to the second cat in her arms.
"This is Kumo-chan!" she answers.
"Great…"
"Okay. Well, I have people running around the store making sure we get everything we want. Aren't you glad you have a sister who has connections?" Kaki said, a little to proud.
"Not really. They don't need to run around the store Kaki, you're torturing them."
"No I'm not! They said they would be happy to run around. Anyways, just go pick something."
I go around the place aimlessly looking for nothing. Psh. I can get Tamu to do this for me. I could just sit in a chair and have her bring stuff to me. But…I'm in a good mood so I guess I won't. I call Mieko over.
"Hm?"
"I want to know what's with Tamu and Kiba."
"Um…what does that have to do with me?"
"You've got this thing where you can drag anything out of anybody. I mean, come on, you got Shino to admit he liked you when you guys were like 13!" I say.
"That's only because I really wanted to know…I'm not going to get Tamu to admit something she doesn't want to." She tells me.
"You think I wanted to tell you I liked you?" Shino says walking up to us.
"You heard us…?"
"Of course, this family is loud."
"Anyways! You said I was your favorite person in the world! I can't believe you won't do me one favor…"
"Fine! Jeez…I regret saying that you were my favorite." She walks off.
"Are we really that loud?" I ask Shino.
He just nods, and walks off after Mieko.
I go around the store once more, actually putting effort for finding a dress. After finding nothing, I go over and sit next to Gaara who fell asleep. Kankuro sits on the other side of him holding Kitami's hand. I ask a lady for a pen. When she comes back, I ask Kankuro what would happen if I drew on his face.
"I don't know…I never really tried."
"Emiko, that's not very nice." Kitami protests.
"You think I'm a nice person?"
"No…"
"Okay then." I smile and draw a little heart on Gaara's cheek. He moves a little bit but doesn't wake up. My smile grows and I get up.
"Tell me when he gets up. Don't let him go near a mirror. I'm gonna go look a little bit longer."

Mieko's PoV
I find Tamu sitting on the floor across from Kiba. I think I'm beginning to see what's going on.
"Tamu-chan, why are you mad at Kiba?" I ask.
"Why…?"
"Well, Emiko wants to know. And she asked me to get it out of you. She says I have some kind of way of getting stuff out of people."
"You do…it's scary. I mean you got Shino to admit that he li-" Kiba was cut off by Shino's glare.
"Yes. I wonder why a lot of people know that…anyways, I'm gonna say it's my wedding present to her so I don't actually have to get her something." I tell everyone.
"Jeez, you're cheap. Sorry, but you're not going to get anything out of me." Tamu said.
"Well, I beg to differ. You see, I guess I have a reputation now…I AM going to make you tell me. See like now. You just told me." I say.
"I didn't tell you anything!" Tamu cried. Shino sat down next to Kiba. They were just watching us.
"Tamu," I sit down. "I know you didn't tell me anything. I don't know what you're talking about."
"You just said I told you." Tamu said.
"I didn't say anything. Were you going to tell me?"
"No!"
"What else did I say?"
"Nothing, you were trying to get me to tell you that Kiba forgot my birthday, so I got mad. I mean he's not supposed to forget my birthday! A boyfriend is NOT supposed to forget." She confessed. Kiba slapped his forehead. Tamu gasped and put her hand over her mouth. "Damnit!"
"Wow, that was easy. I guess I DO have a way of getting stuff out of people." I smile.
"I won't tell Emiko. I'm not that mean."
"To late. I heard. Shino's right, this family IS loud. Anyways, how about this dress?" We turn around to see Emiko wearing a strapless white wedding dress.
"Wow…pretty." Tamu comments.
I have to admit, it is nice. The dress was tighter around the chest, so it wouldn't fall off, and then it flowed from below the chest down. It's polyester and rayon; it also has a sash to go around the neck. It went down to her ankles and then flowed out on the back a few inches. I then noticed that it wasn't really white, but had an ice blue tint. On the side there was what looked like rose petals falling. The design was also on the side of the chest portion. It was a very light to stand out from the white-blue color.
"Hey. You finally found a dress! Great, now we can find ours." We hear Kaki say.
"Um, okay…" Emiko says.
"It's nice Emiko." I tell her. She smiles at me, and goes off to show Kitami and Kari.

Gaara's PoV
I wake up to see Kankuro and Kitami smiling at me.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing…" They both say. Their smiling turn to grins, then to small laughter.
"Tell me now."
"Fine. But we're not supposed to. Emiko drew a heart on your cheek while you were sleeping." Kitami tells me. I look at her in disbelief and run to a mirror. Sure enough, a small black heart is on my cheek. The girl actually drew on my face…
By the time I go back to my seat, Kari is sitting next to Kitami. I guess Emiko has found a dress she likes since she's showing them. She doesn't look very happy though. I walk back, trying to be calm. It's kind of hard since I have a heart drawn on my face. I stand behind her listening to her.
"I can never trust you with anything Kitami." She says.
"Well, let's just say this is payback for telling mom I broke that vase thing."
"I can't believe you actually drew on his face Emiko. I find it kind of hilarious though." Kari says.
I clear my throat. Emiko turns around kind of scared, but then grins. She tries to hold back a laugh.
"Hi Gaara…" Emiko says.
"Ha…ha…" I say.
"What? I was bored."
"So when you're bored, you go around drawing on people's faces?" I ask.
"Only sometimes." She tells me.
I just stare at her, half amused and half annoyed. I then notice her dress. The dress itself was okay, but when she wears it, it's gorgeous. I smile.
"That is the ugliest dress I've ever seen." I smirk. She's glaring at me now.
"Next time, I'm going to make sure that the heart is bigger. I might even draw little flowers around it." She threatens.
I open my mouth to say something, but decide to keep it shut. I'm afraid if I say anything else, she'll decide to throw in a smiling sun to draw on my other cheek.

YaY! Chapter 8 is complete. I know Riiko was supposed to come back, but ya. I'll just make her come back next chapter.
Soo. I put some humor in there. I find it funny, but I don't know if you will.
Anyways, reviews will be appreciated.
Next update will be either Tomorrow or Saturday. If I have, then I'll update tomorrow. It's not only about time though. It's also about motivation. So review and maybe I'll get some inspiration to write more. :
Thanks.
