"Anika..." Gaara whispered groggily. Anika kissed his cheek.

"He didn't believe me... He's my best friend..." Gaara said, slightly delirious from blood loss.

"He was tricked by Sasuke. Don't worry. It's okay now." Anika said, trying to calm him.

"I'm sorry..." He whispered again. Anika sat next to him and helped him sit up.

"It's okay." She hugged him and started to pat his hair.

LATER! LOVE IT! FEAR IT! HUGGLE IT! AND GIVE IT LOTS AND LOTS OF TASTY TASTY WAFFLES!

"Shikamaru, you're staying with Anika and Gaara." Tsunade said, setting her hands on her hips. The alien boy looked at Anika.

"WHAT!?!?! I'LL BE THE ONLY GIRL! DON'T DUMP HIM ON ME, TSUNADE!" Anika screeched out. Tsunade gave her a stern glare. The girl settled down and started walking away, mumbling something about boys going to try to get in her pants that night. Gaara smirked and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Come on, alien boy." Gaara said.

"Hey! I have feelings you know!" Shikamaru shouted out, following them. Two green anntenae came loose from his pony tail. He muttered something and walked ahead. Anika sighed and rested her head on Gaara's shoulder as the two walked.

-WARNING- Hot make out scene dead ahead. Please proceed with caution!

Gaara touched her cheek and lifted her chin so her eyes met his. He kissed her until it grew with a firey passion. Anika licked his lower lip, making him grin slightly and nibble on her lip as well. Gaara's tongue begged for entrance into her mouth. She granted him permission and his tongue darted into her mouth, tasting her mouth all over and fighting her tongue. She kissed him before breaking the "kiss" and grinned, suddenly feeling many eyes staring. Anika and Gaara were being stared at by several other shinobi. They had been watching them and Shikamaru. Besides! Shikamaru had green anntenae sticking out of his head and Gaara and Anika were having a hot make out session while walking! Oh the insanity of it all...

"What are you staring at?" Anika shot at the curious shinobi. Their eyes widened as they continued to do what they were doing before... Oh yes... Insanity was palpipal. -Sp? lol-

LATER AT HOME! LOVE IT! FEAR IT! AND GIVE IT LOTS AND LOTS OF TASTY TASTY WAFFLES!

Shikamaru was beside the TV set, setting it so it was homed on Alien TV. Crappy commercials and much more.

"What the hell is that?" Anika asked Shikamaru, an odd expression plastered on her face.

"Alien TV!" Shikamaru answered proudly.

"Alien boy..." Anika muttered before walking up to her room. Gaara had set mounds of sand around the house, and Anika stepped into his sand littered room, breathing in the soft scent.

"The sand reminds me of Suna," Gaara said, sitting on his bed of sand. Anika nodded in understanding.

-Note: I can't remember a lot of this stuff. So I might be bad from here on in...-

Gaara cuddled up with Anika, pulling her close.

"Anything planned for tomorrow?" He asked her.

"Hmmm... Nope! Just my birthday!" She replied. Gaara looked baffled.

"I'll be back in a little bit..." He said before walking out of his room and running outside.

A BIT LATER

"What should I get her? Everything's not good enough for her..." Gaara said to himself. He searched around the windows of closed shops. Suddenly, he bumped into the one... the only...
