Sorry for not updating sooner! Reviews would really motivate me!

Chi sat in Gaara's living room, doing what she did best: beating people at chess. It was odd, but somehow she understood the complicated game. Kankuro sat across from her, eyebrows furrowed in concentration.

"Gah! How do you do this! You're an idiot…"

Chi growled at him, narrowing her eyes.

"I'm telling."

OoOoOoOoO

Gaara opened the door of his manor, yawning. That is, until a certain black haired, blue eyed girl hurtled out of a room and clung to his legs.

"Panda Chan! Panda Chan! Kankuro is being mean!"

He stumbled backwards, in shock from being slammed into like that.

"Ah…"

Temari and Kankuro ran into the hall, looking worried. He had changed, but it had been a while since Naruto had been to Suna, hugging Gaara like that.

To their surprise, Gaara smiled slightly.

"Kankuro, stop being mean."

Chi, still cling to him, stuck her tongue out at Kankuro, who glared at her.

Temari on the other hand, stared in shock at Gaara. When had he started being nice? Maybe he was just trying to get her to shut up…yes…that was it.

Relaxing, she went back to polishing her fan in the living room. Kankuro followed suit, starting to carve the body parts of a new puppet. The Kazekage strode in as well, looking exhausted.

The three siblings sat quietly, each doing their own thing. Chi entered the room, dragging Gaara's saffron blanket behind her. She could be irritating, strange, crazy, and potentially high; but when tired, the girl was harmless.

"Panda Chan…"

Yawning, she fell like a stone on the couch next to him. Gaara turned to look at her.

Temari POV

Wow. I saw them all snuggled up yesterday. Now he's being NICE. Ah! Shika and I aren't doing that yet! I'm having a midlife crisis!

Chi's POV

Smooth porcelain skin was marred only by the slight outlining of his eyes in a shadowy black; making him look like a panda…my panda. His hair was such a different color, a rich crimson. Silky locks fell into his penetrating sea green eyes. He looked adorable, like a little panda plushy. We stared at each other, both slightly uncomfortable with Temari and Kankuro staring at us.

Gaara sighed, standing up. I looked up at him, confused.

"Come on. Let's go. It's past your bedtime."

I scowled. Who dares to give ME a bedtime? Apparently him.

"I'm not tired though…" I whined, given away by my giant yawn at the end of my protest.

Grrr…I will wipe that stupid smirk off his good looking face like that. Wait! I meant ugly! His face is so UGLY!

OOoOo

Somehow I ended up in his extremely comfy bed, watching him get ready to go to sleep. Brushing his teeth with, ironically, a panda toothbrush; and pulled on a pair of navy blue plaid sweatpant cut offs.

"Baby please don't go go go go
Baby please don't go go go go
Baby please don't go go go go
Baby please don't
Baby please don't…"

I sang quietly, hoping he wouldn't hear me. My luck being so amazing, he heard.

He smirked again.

"Not going anywhere, Chi. Calm down."

Being such a suave and intelligent person, I did the logical thing…I stuck my tongue out at him.

I win.

That is, until he decided to pull off his Kazekage robes. Uh. I'm not prepared for this…I thought those thick robes were to hide some pot belly, not THIS!

Ah! No! NO BLUSHING, CHI! Be strong like Gandhi or martin Luther king Jr.!

"Why is your face so pink?" He tilted his head to the side cutely.

Uh oh. Don't come closer, Panda Chan! No! Bad Panda! Well now I can smell peppermint. Perfect.

"Is it because of me?" He frowned. His face was stern, but his eyes sparkled with mischief.

What happened to the stuffed shirt Gaara? I think he was less…dangerous.

"Pssh. Nope, It's because…because…it's hot in here!" I blurted out.

He looked shocked, like he usually did when he talked to me.

Then he smiled. A long, slow, devious smile.

I want the boring Gaara back. He was safe. This was unpredictable—reminds me of Aladdin. Being the Chi that I am, I sing.

"A whole new world…"

And then his mouth crashed down on mine. My mind spins and my heart beats faster, I can't think.

Finally he pulls away, a smug grin playing on his lips, and I realize the reason his hair is so messy is because my fingers are playing in it. With a growly laugh, he strides out.

Well.

It's a whole new world indeed.

This is kind of a filler, because I've got a dramatic little event coming up. Just building up to that, so sorry this is so short. I'd post the next part sooner if you review…wink wink nudge nudge. REVIEW!
