There were 10 rooms in all. They were meant to be shared. But it wasn't like the leaf shinobi cared.
Sakura ran into the 1st room.
Tenten in the second.
Choji in the third.
Kiba and Akamaru in the fourth.
Hinata in the fifth.
Shino and Rock Lee in the sixth.
Ino in the seventh.
Gai and Naruto in the eighth.
Kurenai in the ninth.
Asuma in the tenth.
Dammit! I didn't get here in time. Kakashi, Neji, Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Marikosa all thought.
Midnite was standing on the railing not caring if she got a room or not. They all turned to face Gaara.
"Where will we be staying ding dong?" Midnite asked Gaara.
"Grrrr. Fine you 6 can stay in my mansion." Gaara growled.
"Great ding dong. I get to call you ding dong everyday now." Midnite smiled evilly.
Gaara mentally groaned.
"Oh Shut up Midnite! Gaara-sama is being nice." Marikosa said.
Gaara sadly dragged his feet and lead them toward his house. He would not be looking forward to the week that he would be having to spend with Midnite.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"There are 6 guest rooms upstairs. Take you pick." Gaara said already calm.
Everyone except for Midnite ran up the stairs hoping to get a good room. Gaara watched Midnite carefully as she lazily made her way up the stairs. He prayed to the gods that she'd get the room furthest from his.
When Gaara had gotten up to the top floor he saw that everyone had their names written on the doors. Gaara's room was the last one on the left. The last one on the right was Marikosa, next to her was Sasuke, then Neji, then Shikamaru, then Kakashi, then….Oh dear lord no.
Gaara did not want to see Midnite's name on the door next to his. He opened his eyes. Her name was written in bold letters on the front of her door. He groaned. He didn't know why but he hated this girl more than anybody.
He wanted to make her feel bad, he wanted to see her cry, he wanted to see her break. He glared heatedly at the panel in front of him knowing that all the rooms were connected by a door.
So Midnite could open the door to his room and Kakashi's room. Oh joy. He wondered if he could nail the door shut.
He stalked off into his room. He needed air.
Gaara headed towards the roof.
Midnite sat on the roof and she looked up into the starlit sky. She could've sworn she heard her parents singing like they did when she was young.
Midnite would never admit this to anyone but she was really sad inside and felt pain like no other.
P.O.V. change
I stood staring at the sky and I hoped that all of my troubles would just be washed away. I wondered why I still felt empty and hollow.
I had achieved my goal. To be the strongest ninja in the world. I knew this for a fact since my past years of fighting with the strongest criminals around gave me knowledge.
Today when I met Gaara I saw that he had the same empty hollowness as I did. Maybe that was why I acted so weirdly towards him.
Shink! I heard a stone fall onto the ground below me. I whipped around to find Gaara looking directly at me. His face gave nothing away and his eyes were cold like ice. I composed the lower half of my face to look bored and uncaring.
"What are you doing here?" Gaara asked quietly.
"I was here first. I should be the one asking the question." I answered irritably.
"I needed to get some fresh air. What are you doing here?" he asked once again.
I sighed."Watching the stars."
What the hell? Where did that come from? Now I sound like a total loser. Damn.
Gaara looked at me once again. Nothing showed on his face.
"Someone close to me once attempted to assassinate me on this roof before." Gaara told me quietly.
I was confused, I wonder why gaara chose to tell me this.
"Hn" was all I said.
If anyone could rival my unemotional state then it would be Gaara. This irritated me a bit.
"Is this what you wanted to tell me?' I snapped angrily.
Gaara turned to me and for once I saw that his unemoitional face had cracked. I could see rage simmering in his eyes.
"I will spar you tomorrow." Gaara stated his voice was calm but I could hear his threat.
"Whatever. Join the long line of people who want to spar with me." I answered not at all troubled.
"One day Midnite. You will find that you have a weakness. It might not be now but one day you will. And you won't be able to do anything about it." Gaara then turned around and he jumped off the roof.
I didn't even consider his words. I looked up towards the sky once again. I had no weakness. Not my sister or family could be used against me.
Oh mother. Father.
I put my unemotional face back on. I am cold, harsh and cruel. That was the only thing I will ever be.
