Chapter 9

Dating… and Offices

"Should you punch the roof again, I will kill you."

Teal eyes glared at gray eyes. She sighed, and tried to get him off her.. She had tried to kick him off her, but noooo, his sand had to be right there, didn't it?

"Fine! Lemme go!"

It took no more than 3 minutes before he finally got off her and pulled his sand back into his gourd. Alix's took a deep breath and slowly stood up. With that the Kazekage vanished in a swirl of sand, leaving a confused Alix on the roof, alone.

------------------------

"…That's all that happened really; and why my hand is bandaged."

MaiAki looked at Alix questionably, before she sighed. She was still upset that Mike had passed, but there wasn't a thing either of them could do to get him back. It was the cycle of life. You live to die, simple as that.

"But why would he care? I mean, I thought he was cold and was a murderer."

Alix only shrugged, looking out the window; watching as only a couple of people roamed the streets at this hour. What Batman had told them was true; noon was the hottest hour of the day and anyone could become dehydrated in minutes.

A silence fell over them as they sat in the chairs of their hotel rooms; suddenly, there was a knock on the door and MaiAki jumped up and ran over to the door, throwing it open and glomping said person at the door.

"Geeze, MaiAki…"

MaiAki only responded with a giggle and let go of the one she was glomping. "But, Kankuro-kun, you should have known it was going to happen."

"..Sure."

Alix slowly looked over to Batman and her sister. Were they dating.. Or… something? Alix was confused, and MaiAki caught it.

"We've known each other for 4 years, and we've been together for 2..."

Alix literally fell out of the chair and onto the floor anime style, her foot actually twitching as it stayed in the air, before she quickly stood up and brushed herself off, wincing as she forgot about her hand.

"And.. You didn't tell me this… why?"

Batman only rubbed the back of his head… finding some sort of tension in this situation. "She was going to tell you, I believe.. But she was scar--oof"

MaiAki raised her elbow in front of her, and slammed it into Batman's chest, stopping him. "Well, gotta go! Bye!"

MaiAki grabbed onto Batman's arm and dragged him towards the door.

"Gaara wants to see you Alix. Something important - he wouldn't tell me, my response was a chair being thrown my way."

With that said, Batman and MaiAki vanished.

------------------------------------

He had been sitting in his office, just glaring at the all the paperwork and fan girls mail that he had received today. He thought maybe the paper would just burn before him, but apparently it wasn't working. Sighing, he leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes, trying to find some peace in his chaotic mind; now that it wasn't being bombarded with Shukaku's thoughts and murderous intent.

His mind was silent, calm for only a moment before a picture of Alix's face entered into his mind causing him to open his eyes. She had intrigued him to a point where when he had peace in his mind, she would suddenly float into his mind, ruining the moment. He didn't know if it was a fascination, or something else he couldn't place.

This is irritating me. I should just kill her. His eyes turned from looking towards his paper work to the large window behind him, that displayed Suna. I could have done it last night, but why didn't I? That was all he could ask himself, and there was no answer to it. Hence why he was angry when Kankuro entered the office with his hands full of paperwork and dumped them onto his desk. Slowly, Gaara turned around and faced him, Kankuro gave a nervous smile.

"You haven't done anything, have you?" Kankuro noticed the glare, but had ignored it. "Anyways, I'm going to see MaiAki."

"Tell Alix I want to see her."

"Ooooh, Gaara, you like her don't you? She has a hot body doesn't she. Little thing though…" Kankuro could have went farther into his little 'discussion' on Alix before Gaara's chair was thrown at him. "Alright, alright!" He took that cue to leave, slamming the door behind him.

After the incident, Gaara just left the chair laying on the ground, before turning himself around and looking outside once again, arms crossed over his chest. He wanted to see what this Alix had to do in his country.

--------------------------

"You wanted to see me?" Alix entered into the office that was obtained by the Kazekage.. She never realized that a room could be this big… Probably for all the Shinobi's and such that had to see him after a mission..

"Why are you in Suna."

"Wow, very demanding, don't even hesitate…"

The red head just glared at Alix, and she notice that she shouldn't be smart with him.. Unless she wanted to die. "business… reasons.."

"What reasons."

"..Reasons you don't need to know."

It was silent, and she thought she was really going to die with the never-ending blinking of a glare. Slowly, he stood up, the chair rolling a little bit behind him. He smirked lightly, so unnoticeable that she had barely caught it from her position so far away from him. She was glad she was right by the door… then again, she couldn't just turn around and bam, the door would randomly open and she get away so fast… There was a window she could jump out of… no, bad idea, too close to him. She was screw either way.. God hated her.

"I am the Kazekage. I have to protect my people, even if they dislike me. If you're here to destroy it, confess now, and I'll kill you fast."

She gasped, not out of fear but surprised. "More than six words!" She managed to hide a laugh of nervousness when he started to walk towards her, she immediately stopped.

"I'm here for reasons of which I can't tell you. I assure you that I'm not here to harm any Suna citizens. Had I wanted to, I would have last night instead of punching a roof and managing to break a finger and bruise all the others." She exhaled deeply, like it took a lot of breath to say it. Well, then again, I guess it had 'cause the Kazekage was 3 inches away from her. Now that she noticed, he was a head taller than her… Now she felt short.

"Why didn't you go to the hospital."

My god was he demanding. "Why do you care?"
