Gaara sat on the bed next to her and watched her sleep.
'Cub take her.' Shukaku told him with a smirk.
'No, she has to want it too, I'm not binding her to me for life against her will.' Gaara hissed back angrily. He couldn't believe that Shukaku would suggest such a thing.
'But she is your mate, I can feel your body aching to be connected with her.' Shukaku hissed back. Gaara's sexual feelings towards the Emi were unbelievable strong. It was making living inside him a nightmare.
'I don't care, it's bothering me but I'm controlling it fine.' He told him and lay down, her sleeping form facing him. 'I could never hurt her, mates don't hurt each other.' Gaara added admiring her beauty. He didn't like her mask, he wanted her without it but he knew the scar bothered her. He wanted to hold her, kiss her and feel her. Gaara felt his trousers get tight. Shukaku growled in frustration.
Emi woke up in the morning next Gaara, she had moved down the bed to be face to face with Gaara's groin. She saw his problem very clearly as he was laying on his back. Her eyes widened and she felt her body heating up. Shukaku growled loudly and Gaara looked confused.
'She's aroused cub, I can smell it!' Shukaku shouted at him in frustration. Gaara wondered why she was getting aroused, was she having a dream? He looked down at her and noticed she wasn't snoring softly anymore. She must be awake but too nervous to let him know or even move. He probably scared her by staying in bed with her. He should have thought that through. He decided to ignore the fact she was awake and pretend he didn't know. He got off the bed and left the room. How could he be so stupid?
Gaara went down stairs and saw Temari and Kankurō in the kitchen, making their breakfast.
"Have you made up the spare room yet?" Gaara asked Temari with his arms crossed over his chest. Temari glared at him and carried on with making herself some food.
"You sorted out your problem?" Kankurō asked with a smirk as he pointed at it. Gaara was well aware of his problem but he was trying to ignore it.
"Go get a cold shower." Temari hissed at him. "I'll sort the room out now." She added as she walked past him. She really didn't want that girl anywhere near Gaara but she knew Gaara would do as he pleased about this. As she walked up the stairs, she walked past Emi, glaring at her.
Emi wondered into the lounge, trying to work out where she was.
"Kitty." Gaara called her as he saw her walk past the archway which lead into the kitchen, Emi turned and smiled.
"Morning Raccoon." She said and walked up to him. Gaara smiled and Kankurō's jaw dropped. She was the girl who scared Gaara and now they were acting like best friends. "Umm, Gaara is it ok if I go shopping this morning, I need some clothes?" She asked, holding her tail nervously and looking down at the floor.
"I'll go with you, I need a break from my work." He told her with a small smile. Kankurō just started at the pair. He was in complete shock.
"Thank you Raccoon!" She hugged him tightly, Gaara hugged back but tried to move back a little, he didn't want her to know about his problem.
Just then Kankurō fainted. Emi jumped back and rushed over to Kankurō. She quickly checked for a pulse as she kneeled down next to him. Kankurō slowly opened his eyes as he came round, all he could see were breast above his face. He smirked to himself and reached up and grabbed them. Emi screamed and jumped away. Gaara growled at him, pulling Emi to his side. He couldn't hold back the anger he was currently feeling.
"What the hell do you think you were doing?!" Gaara shouted at him as Emi hid her face in the crook of his neck. Gaara could feel her breathe on his neck, if she wasn't upset he was sure this would be making things unbearable for him.
"What? They were in my face." Kankurō defended himself, his hands in the air.
"She was checking for your pulse you idiot!" Gaara shouted at him and Temari rushed down the stairs when she heard the shouting. The last thing they needed was Gaara losing his temper and Shukaku coming out.
"Gaara calm down." Temari said softly and made her way over to him carefully.
"You can back off!" Gaara shouted at Temari as he looked at her. She froze on the spot. Shukaku had already started to come out. Gaara's eyes had already changed. "If had done as you were told yesterday and made up the spare room, Kitty wouldn't have had to share my bed!" He added as more of Shukaku started to show. "You hate her for no reason!" Temari's eyes widened, he was going to go for her.
"Raccoon." A soft voice spoke. Gaara looked at Emi who had lifted her head up from the crook of his neck. "Calm down." She added and took his face in her hands. "Please." Gaara took a deep breath and fought with Shukaku to stop him. He knew that after Shukaku destroyed the village he would take her against her will. "Raccoon." She called him, Gaara's eyes focus on to Emi and he breathed heavily.
"I'm sorry." He whispered, he never wanted her to see that, he didn't want her to see the monster he was.
"Don't worry Raccoon." She told him with a smile. Gaara looked into her eyes and pulled her closer. He could hold it back anymore. He had to hold her at least. Emi looked at him surprised and his sand surrounded them to stop his siblings seeing anything. Both Temari and Kankurō watched in shock. No one had ever been able to break through and bring Gaara back during the transformation.
"Emi I need you." He whispered ashamed and looking away. Emi lifted his head up to look at her, she had pulled her mask down. Gaara looked confused as she moved closer. She gently kissed his lips. Gaara's eyes widened in shock. Emi pulled back blushing and looked down. Gaara's fingers gently touched his lips. "You feel the same way?" He asked stunned and Emi nodded, not daring to look up at him. "Is that why you refused you marry anyone from a noble clan?" He asked and again Emi nodded. He took her hand in his. "What's wrong?" He asked, if she wanted this then why was won't she look at him.
"Nothing Raccoon." She said as she slowly looked up, her cheeks bright red and smiled nervously at him. Gaara smiled and pulled her back to him. He leaned down slightly and kissed her softly, scared to hurt her. Emi kissed back, this felt right, and it was different to when she kissed Itachi. With Itachi it was just pure desire but with Gaara it felt like she belonged, desire, love and need. She had to tell Gaara the truth, she had to warn him. She pulled back from the kiss, making Gaara look confused.
"Gaara can anyone hear us?" She asked looking serious. Gaara shook his head, still very confused. "Good, listen carefully." She told him and took a deep breathe. "Gaara I do need you, I don't know if this is love but before go any further I need to warn you." She explained and Gaara frowned. "The Akatsuki took me and gave me back my memories, the memories I had when I turned up in Konoha were fake. Itachi helped me leave but I got dragged back in." Emi told him looking down at the floor. Gaara looked furious but he let her continue. "I was sent back to Konoha after they got my memories back. They tried to make me seduce Naruto but Konoha found out before I got there. I was able to hand over all the information on the Akatsuki to Tsunade-sama but the Akatsuki pulled me out of my mission so I couldn't get more information for them." Emi started to cry. "Gaara, they sent me here to seduce you but I don't want to!" She feel to her knees and Gaara watched her in shock. "I love you! I don't want to hurt you, I refuse to hand you over to them." She said slowly looking up at him, she expected to see rage on his face and to be attacked by his sand. She would let him kill her, it was the least she could do ensure his safety for longer.
"You love me?" He asked shocked and Emi nodded.
"Yes, I was going to warn you, I'm being watched by them Gaara. I needed them to back off before I could say anything." She told him and Gaara kneeled down in front of her.
"Emi how did you pass on the information in Konoha?" He asked, maybe they could use the same method.
"A sealed diary but I don't know if they'll keep an eye on a diary if I get one." She told him and Gaara nodded.
"I'll think of something. We best show ourselves." He said with a smirk and pulled her to her feet before kissing her and letting the sand fall as he did.
Kankurō and Temari stared at him in disbelief. Emi pulled back slowly and blushed.
"Let's go shopping then Kitty, I'll buy you breakfast out." Gaara said and took her hand. Emi nodded and blushed even more.
Emi and Gaara walked through the streets hand in hand. Emi's ears twitching, trying to hear the gossiping. "You're doing it again." Gaara told her in a warning tone as he watched her ears.
"Sorry Raccoon." She said looking down. Gaara smiled and pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her waist.
"Let's find somewhere to eat." He said and led her towards a small café.
"Look at that poor girl, she must be terrified of him. She just be too scared to stop him." Emi heard a man say. She suddenly stopped walking, the vain on her forehead showing. Gaara looked back at her to see why she stopped, that's when he saw the rage in on her face. Emi turned to look at the man who spoke.
"Want to say that to my face?" She hissed at him. The man shook his head and stepped back.
"Kitty leave it." Gaara warned her.
"Then don't suggest I'm with him against my will!" She shouted at the man who ran off quickly, scared for is life. Gaara sighed and pulled on her arm.
"Emi-chan." He called her. Emi looked back at him sighed.
"Sorry Gaara-kun." She said and calmed down. Gaara smiled and held her close to him again, walking straight to the café. The villagers just watched them in shock, they didn't think they could see someone with a shorter fuse than Gaara.
Sasori grumbled as he watched her almost explode. Her rage will get the better of one day but he was surprised at how Gaara somehow managed to calm her down. He had never seen anyone ever do that, not even Itachi. They must have been really close when they were younger. He felt bad for her but he hoped her emotions wouldn't get involved in this mission. The last thing they needed was Emi defending Gaara.
Once they had eaten, Gaara took her to every shop he could think of, using his sand to carry her bags that he paid for, annoying Emi in the process.
"Raccoon you don't need to buy me everything!" She stressed as they walked back to his. Gaara just smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Shhh and live with it, I'll be doing it a lot." He told her and opened the door for her.
He showed her to her room, hoping Temari had made the room up. He helped her put the clothes away expect the underwear. He didn't want to invade her privacy like that. He told he was going to the office if she wanted to stop by later and left.
