Wish

Chapter 11

Unexpected Date.

The hotel room had been eerily quiet for the past 3 days since MaiAki had left, and Mike was no longer around, but just in spirit. Tonight, she had cried herself to sleep, feeling alone and abandoned once again in her life, but she could have swore, someone was watching her. It didn't take long before she woke up, and swung her legs over the side her hands slowly making their way to her face to rub at them. Taking in a deep breath, she exhaled slowly and stood up, making her way to the bathroom. Opening the door, she stepped in and looking at the sink before turning it on and cupping a handful of water and splashing it onto her face.

This was when she had freaked herself out to no point -- as she opened her eyes and looked at herself, her eyes weren't gray, they were different colors, many different colors. She moved back and lowered her hands to her side, wide eyed at the fact that as long as she could remember, her eyes could never do this before - never.

She blinked and they were gone. The feeling of someone watching her vanished and her gray eyes looked outside the window, watching as the sky started to change colors.

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

"I'll just have some rice…"

"Coming up!"

The overly cheerful waitress walked away, swaying her hips making her look more of a slut than she already was. She sighed, rubbing her temples. She had been feeling sick since last night, and she didn't get back to sleep at all, making her cranky and ready to explode at anyone. How she could give if Mike was here right now.

Her eyes looked at the brown table, fingering some of the cracks made in it from the heat and humidity from Suna. She was in her own little world before hearing some type of squealing and running footsteps. Slowly, she raised her head to see what all the commotion was. Her eyes caught something bright red, and right away she knew who it was. She slammed her head down onto the table.

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

He had been sitting in his office for a while now, trying to sort through every letter and mission's that had come in through the morning. It had been nearing lunch before Kankuro and MaiAki walked into the room. He had to admit, MaiAki didn't look all that well, as if she had lost the biggest thing known to her.

"Gaara, have you seen Alix anywhere's?"

Gaara just looked at them, his eyes narrowing slightly as he turned back to his work. He really didn't want to think about Alix, not right now anyways, he had to finish his work because he was the Kazekage… If he knew that being a Kazekage came with always doing paperwork -- he wouldn't have chose to be it.

"Gaara, do you not see MaiAki-chan? She looks terrible, and it's pissing me off to no point! I need to know where Alix is."

"I do not know where she is."

Kankuro just sighed, patted MaiAki on the head before turning to leave with her. He had opened the door for her and she stepped out. Before he took a step to leave, he turned his head, looking at his younger brother.

"If you do see her, Can you tell her that MaiAki needs to see her soon?"

Gaara just glared at Kankuro and he shut the door and left. Slowly, his eyes shifted towards the clock, seeing it was only 5 to 12. Sighing, he sat up and grabbed his traditional Kage outfit and put it on over his usual clothes, leaving the hat to stay on the chair.

Exiting the building, he walked to the nearest shop he could find and walked in, only to be swarmed by many fan girls and their squealing and repetitive asking for dates from him. He only glared at each female before looking around, his eyes catching the figure of the woman he didn't want to think about; but she had slammed her head down onto the table.

Making his way out of the crowed he walked over to where she was..

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

"Alix."

"Eh?" Alix opened her eyes and looked up at Gaara, then looked behind her to see all the murderous glares from all the women. Her right eyebrow only raised in question at randomly being hated by most of the city already.

"Do you mind?"

She could tell he was trying to get away from them, not by his facial features, his eyes or body composure -- just his voice, it held that small amount of a desperate plea. She nodded her head, not bothering to get up and be polite.

He sat down, looking at her as if waiting for her to do something, she sighed.

"If you wouldn't mind, you preps, I don't like to have people just stand there and just glare at me for having lunch with the Kazekage. I'm in a very bad mood right now, and just because I'm in front of him, have a lot of witness', doesn't mean I wont attack any of you." She gave a sadistic smirk, her eyes narrowing as all females took a step back. "I'll give you 3 seconds to get out of my face…"

….Half of them took off.

"1."

5 more left.

"2."

7 more left.

"…3."

All had gone. She smiled lightly and looked back at Gaara, his eyes holding amusement and a small smirk crossed his lips. "What?"

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

She did look like she was in a bad mood, just by her aura. When she had said that she'd attack anyone in his presence, he smirked. A lot of people feared just to say something bad to someone in front of him, for fear of being kicked out. When she had started to count down, he watched as they took off running, before she looked back at him.

He knew he was smirking, and he allowed it to show.

"I thought you were a nice person, Alix."

"When I get sleep and not feel like crap I am." She paused for a moment, "…You need to stop speaking more than 6 words, seriously."

Apparently, she didn't notice him saying her name.

"MaiAki looks like crap, visit her."

"…Should I now? Maybe I don't feel like it."

"It'd be best for her."

"You know what's best for people? That's pretty fast in movement, ne?"

He looked at her confused.

"I mean that for you to first start speaking more that 6 words, then moving to caring about what people feel, that's a little too fast."

He watched as she raised her hand to her hair and ran her fingers through her hair. She sighed.

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

"Do you watch people sleep?"

She saw the narrowing of his eyes.

"I'm not calling you a stalker, but I heard you have insomnia and don't sleep."

"I do have insomnia, but rarely do I watch people sleep."

"Oh, alrighty then, at least your honest about it."

The was a silence before a different waiter came to the table, handing a bowl of rice to Alix, and something to Gaara, which she couldn't identify.

"Why?"

"What?"

"Why did you ask me?"

"Someone was watching me sleep last night. It was annoying to say the least." She paused, picking up the chop sticks and pointing at what Gaara had. "Kazeka--"

"Gaara."

She just looked at him, her eye brow raising in questions. "Oh-kay, Gaara, what is that?"

"Gizzard."

"…Well, that's a nice food name I must say."

She started to eat her rice, trying to ignore the constant watching of Gaara's eyes, but nonetheless she had finished the rice and stood up.

"I must be going." She paused and smirked at Gaara. "It was a nice little, unexpected 'date', I must say." She waved her hand, signaling 'good-bye' and left the building, leaving a confused Gaara to sit there and try and figure out what 'date' meant.
