chapter three

Are you realy the one?

...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...'SMASH'...'Damned alarm' Mai thought as she slowly threw the covers off and climbed out of bed. Her bare feet pressing against the cold morning floor, 'damnit why is the floor so cold in the morning?' she shouted into her own mind not wanting to wake her neihbors'.' Be quiet some of us are still not awake!' her innerself screamed back.Walking into her bathroom and turning on the water, stepping into the hot bathe water she lets out a slight moan,'kami-sama this feels good' she thought to herself.After what seemed like a good hour she washed her hair and body , then stepping back out and and getting dress without a real care she pulls on a light blue shirt that was tight on her waist but loose for her top, and a pair of dark blue pants, followed by her nin shoes. Smiling at her look she grabed her keys, and locked the door on her way out.

Walking down the busy streets of Suna she comes across a small coffe shop and smiled slightly as she walked in."Hello Mai, what do you want for today?" a guy asked from behind the counter,"Good morning Toshima" Mai said sweetly then giving him a hug,"A cup of mocha would be nice with some small doughnuts you love to make"she said softly and with glee when she spoke of the doughnuts."Mai, you havent had my doughnuts in a while it'll be nice to see you happy again" Toshima said kindly then headed into the back to prepare her food. Mai looked around the small reastrant to notice a very familiar presense near she look around yet couldnt find it.

Gaara looked over to Mai from his corner , taking a small sip from his dark coffee, and examining what the young woman was wearing then relized what he was doing and turned his attention to a counter of pasteries looking somewhat intrested int hem then the ninja.'What has she done to me? why do i fell the need to take her away form this world to fell comfert? Why do i want to fell this emotion ? isnt it pointless and only distracts me from my work ? No i will not fall for it and be hurt like befor ! i wont alow it!' Gaara screamed these things again and again in his mind.' What is you propblem boy? why must you yell so my head is killing me!' Shakaku hissed mersslessly in his mind. 'Go away i dont need you now' Gaara hiised back to his demon.' fine but stop yelling!' Shakaku had said his last words for now.Gaara looked up to relize that the man from befor is again with Mai. Growling under his breath he shot the man one death glare and slowly the man smiled at her and left.

"Alright Toshima, ill talk to you later and hope to visit your family again" Mai said cheerfuly as he left with a smile. Standing up she turned and stoped almost instintly as she had spotted Gaara in the back corner looking at her, she sighed and walked over to him."You know Gaara, you remind me of a young boy from my past but i could never remeber his name, but i hope you can tell me? Were did you get that necklace?" she looked down at the silvery object that stayed hidden behind his clothes.He looked at her in a questioned puzzle on her face. ' What was that? I remind her of someone? How could this be she remind's me of a young girl but im nto to sure.Ahh this is goin to be long i just know it' He grunted slightly only to earn a small look of concern from the woman, "When i was little i became friends with this young girl and she gave it to me but i dotn know her anymore" The crimson haired boy said quikly befor looking away from her face. She smiles lightly and takes a small silver necklace from her neck to show him "Do you have the same memorie of a girl giving you a necklace with kanji one it and she smiles while screaming ' thank you'?"she asked , speaking softly as she replaces it back on her neck and looking back up at him.

He nodded and looked back down at her, he reached out and brushed her neck that was lined with the silvery chain.This sent shivers down her spine only to be tore away be Toshima, "Toshima? What are you doing?" Mai screached as she was pulled away.'Toshima?' She thought as the man draged her into a back room,'This cant be Toshima? He's never been this way!'Her mind was screaming then she felt cold hands grab her and a face to close to her's. It was Toshima and he was kissing her! She couldnt beleive it , the man she thought was so calm and collected was now ravishing her body with his hands and kissing her roughly then travling down her neck making small bites in some . "Toshima? ...wh..what are yo...u...doing?" she managed to say with a few gasps and a light moan wich made him suck harder on her light brown skin.Soon his hands were sliding up and down her legs, and he was pulled away as she relized it wasnt her but Gaara! Toshima was thrown into the wall , as he slid down Gaara mummbled something but neither heard it , then looking down at Mai his frown deeped to see her shirt was ripped slightly and she had little purple-red marks on her neck with her pants messy as well."Mai? Are you all-right?"He said as his voice cringed from the niceness he tried to put forth.

Mai , seeing this she smiles and stands up to straighten herself out ," I'm fine Gaara-kun", Mai suductivly said the prefix then rapped her arms around Gaara in a hug. "You always seem to be there when i need you , thanks."She wispered into his ear and she let go and turned to walk out .Gaara tuned and flashed Toshima a glare that told him,touch-her-and-die-. Toshima seemed to get the point and as he stood ,clumsly to trip over his own feet,crusing mentally for not noticing that the kage had been there the whole time.Gaara's mind kept racing to think what could've happened to Mai, 'What's wrong? are you starting to care for her? and to think your known to be heartless' Shakaku , temidly hissed into Gaara's mind. 'I was only helpign her from being raped! Who know's what that guy has ever done to her befor.' Gaara had restained himself from yellign into his own mind.

Mai had turned to say somthing to the red-haired man only to notice that he was staring into the nothingness of a cup. The woman could only look at him and smiled slightly at him endless gaze, then he quikly focused his eye's on her. 'What is she smiling about? She was almost raped and yet she's SMILING?' non of this had made any sense to him but then relized how dumb he must have looked while talking in his own mind. "Gaara, you a strange man you know" She said smugly then walked over to him and gave him a hug ,mummbling somthing about likeing it?. His body had tensed into her hug but when she retreated from it he felt like taking her back to embrace her himself, but soon pushed the felling aside as he walked out the coffe shop door.
