Wish: and so it begins

Chapter 9

Part 2, healing.

It took 20 minutes for Mike to finally crack under the constant asking of him to finish her training in a week and he agreed to it. His eyes narrowed as his head lowered to look down at Alix with a defiant smirk on his face, which, only resulted in her kicking him in the shin and pushing him over. The thing is, he managed to grab onto her wrist and pull her down with him, her landing on top of him in an awkward position that Alix sure as hell didn't want, while Mike only smiled at it.

"Hiya Alix!"

"...This is so wrong!"

"But Alix-chan is--"

"Let go of her."

Alix's eyes widened, Mike only glance past her and up into the eyes of doom that you usually don't want to see when your in a position like this. It was like cutting someone in a line really. You always look forwards, towards the future, you never look back at the face of doom staring back at you ready to kill.

Alix practically yelped as Gaara used his sand to pull her off Mike and into Gaara softly, his arm now resting around her waist. It taken a moment before she realized what had happened. Her eyes narrowed and she glared at Mike, then at Gaara.

"You!" She pointed at Mike. "You are going to get your ass kicked, badly... And you.." By this time, she pulled herself away from Gaara and stared him down with his own glare, though he wasn't budging. "I thought I told you I can stay here by myself without your help!"

"I came to check up. And I see I should have come earlier so... This wouldn't have happened."

"What wouldn't have happened?" Her eyes shifted to see that Mike had now been encased in sand, with Gaara famous desert coffin. Her eyes widened. "Gaara! Put him down!"

He seemed to ignore her, and suddenly the sand that was wrapped around Mike exploded like it was raining and he was gone, the ground of sand moving around her was evident, meaning Gaara now had his guard up. Behind him a wall of sand flew up, indicating Mike had tried to attack from behind him, and It didn't work.

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

It had literally been an hour since they started to fight, both of them getting no where's and Alix, well she decided to wonder off for a little bit. They weren't going to kill each other because one couldn't see the other, and the other didn't want to move from his spot. It was going to be a never-ending battle until she decided to step in.

She sighed, trying to figure out what exactly started this. Why Gaara was here when he said that she could come here. Was he... jealous of who it would have been. Oh! That must have been it! And the way that Mike was acting when he looked up.. And now they... Jesus Christ it was like a love-triangle with only one person gaining her feelings. This sucked.

Turning she returned back to where they were and she was greeted with Mike on a stick, bleeding half to death with one of Gaara's sand spikes. The first thought that went through her mind was 'oh my god, not again'. She rushed past Gaara, who was watching Mike with bloodlust eyes, smirking.

"M-mike!"

"Ow..?"

"Jesus Christ. Gaara stop this, now!" Alix's stood up and looked at Gaara.

"Why?"

"Just cause your jealous doesn't mean you have to kill him! Stop this!"

He growled lightly, eyes narrowing. "I'm not jealous."

"Yes you are! I managed to push him down, and he grabbed my wrist. Nothing was going on!"

He was silent, as if he didn't believe her.

"You don't believe me, then get the hell out of my sight. You want to attack me like that night a year ago, go ahead. I promise on my family's grave I'll never see you again." She was dead serious. She'd kill herself, if he did so.

Gaara's eyes returned to the normal coldness that she was used to, but she managed to turn around and watch as Mike fell of the spike and onto the ground in his blood, grunting lightly.

"Yes, drop me on the ground like that. Nice... Asshole."

"Shut up Mike!"

"Alrighty then."

Alix sighed, pulling Mike forward a bit before turning him over onto his back. He was smirking like he wasn't just stabbed through the stomach with a huge ass spike of Sand.

"Guess what! Part two of your healing. It all works out!" He coughed.

"How can you still be talking...?"

"I'm... Uh... God?"

He only received a punch in the head from Alix.

"Now what?"

"Okay.. First of.." He paused, taking in a deep breath. "..Make a seal in my own blood. Make a circle, then write an X in the middle of it with a line going through it. Place your hands over the... big gaping hole in my stomach, close your eyes and focus all your energy into your hands. A red glow should form, if not, then your doing it wrong and you'll kill me."

She followed his instructions, Gaara standing behind her, arms crossed over his chest and watching her closely so nothing would happen. Drawing the X in the circle, just above the wound itself, she finally crossed the X out and placed her hands over the hole in Mike's stomach. Closing her eyes, she moved all chakra to her hands, at first it making only a black glow, before slowly changing color to a reddish glow, before covering the hole and slowly healing it.

"I never thought it'd... burn... Llama God!"(1)

Alix opened her eyes and looked at her small little 'job' then hit Mike in the same spot where he was wounded before.

"Part 2.. Complete."

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

Alix, Mike and Gaara managed to walk back to Sand in an uncomfortable silence. No one saying a thing, hardly any breathing being heard. Mike was twitching uncontrollable, and needed to do something so, he ran ahead and jumped over the wall, having 2 Jounin's go after him because he had jumped it. Alix only shook her head, smirking at that.

"What is he to you?"

"Er-what?"

"I don't want to repeat myself."

"He's my brother. It's only Family love... I told you nothing happened."

He stopped and looked at her. "Why don't I believe you?"

She followed suit and glared at him. "Because your jealous he'd win a spot in my heart over you."

"I'm not jealous."

Alix sighed and walked up to Gaara, looking directly into his eyes, not even wavering. "You'll be the only one, Gaara. That I promise you..." This time, she managed to kiss him first her arms wrapping around his neck, before he finally started to respond and kiss her back, leaning into it somewhat. His heart seemed to jump around in joy, knowing that Mike was only a brother to her, and nothing more.

Suddenly, Alix went completely limp and passed out in his arms...

(1) - Llama God came from Math class from the person who inspired Mike. A friend was listening to Lamb of God, and somehow the hyper-child came up with Llama God.
