Itachi and Gaara

The couple stared blankly at each other…as always. A few hours had passed since the…accident. And ever since the two people got to the fancy house, they did nothing but exchange stares.

All the couples houses looked the same. The wooden house was two stories, and had red roses painted on the bottom of the first story. The house was surrounded by small cherry blossom trees, which were in full bloom. Each house also had an enclosed back yard. In each back yard, there was a stone-outlined hot spring. And, obviously, every house's sidewalks were made of stone.

Now…as for the roses…each house has a different color of rose. The color all depends on what the female's heart reflects. For example, Itachi's bleeding heart made his roses red…the fox in Naruto made his roses orange…and as for the pink roses of Pein…well…that was just…for us to know…and you to wonder.

"Soo….we're….a couple…huh?" The black haired one finally whispered, breaking the silence.

"hn…I guess…are you alright…with you new…uhh…figure?" Gaara responded.

Itachi looked away from the sand ninja. "Well, it's odd not to have…you know what…never mind…" Itachi's now higher voice trailed off as she realized how awkward the fact he was going to state was…mostly coming from a girl.

It took Gaara a few seconds to realize what Itachi meant. "Oh…well…heh…never mind."

A low growl came from Itachi. But then something came to her mind. She couldn't fight like she used to. Without the advantage of size and body weight. (But then again…she never really had those things…) But now…she had a new…figure to…get used to.

"Hey, Gaara, do take offence to being called a panda?"

Black outlined eyes narrowed. "It all depends on who is calling me that, and why."

Itachi smirked at the sandman's words. "Well," she said as she got to her feet, "I'm going to take a walk. I'll see you later, Panda."

Gaara growled playfully. "Oh no you don't, not without me, Kitty."

Itachi glanced over at Gaara for a moment before turning and running up the stairs. So many people had said that Itachi was cat-like. But she never thought that Gaara would agree with it.

The sand ninja dashed upstairs right behind Itachi. Gaara quickly tackled Itachi to the ground, having the advantage of size. Itachi looked up at his 'panda', "What was that for?!?"

"Panda likes Kitty." Gaara stated innocently.

Itachi, for once in his life, blushed. (Like a school girl around the hottest guy in the school.) Gaara smirked at this.

"So, Panda, are you going to let me go on a walk or not?" Itachi hissed.

"No…not tonight, Panda is enjoying himself. Plus I have a better idea." Gaara grinned mischievously.

(And now I will end this scene…just because we don't want to change the rating to M. Let's see how Pein and Oro are doing…)

"Take one more step snake and I promise that you will die…"

(Well…I think I found out where the next chapter will be placed…)
