Chapter 10
A little fun, for only a day. Part I
She awoke in a rather large, comfortable bed, wondering exactly what was going on. She remembered walking after healing Mike near the oasis after Gaara managed to stab him through the stomach. How he still survived, she honestly had no idea. I mean, if someone was stabbed that deep, they'd surly die.. There must've been more to Mike than met the eye. What it was, she'd find out soon.
Opening her eyes, only to be greeted by the blazing sun of Sand before sitting up and brushing her hair out of her face. Sighing, she let her eyes roam around the room, quickly noticing who's it was. Because if this was hers, then she was dead and floating around in heaven. Now that it was bright, Gaara's room looked a hell of a lot bigger than it did when he brought her here at night.
It wasn't all that much, just the usual accessories that one carries in their room, bed, dressers, desk, lamp… Closet that seemed to be taunting the hell out of her for some reason. After staring blankly at the door for a good five minutes she finally decided to get up and moved over to the door, her hand clasping the cold doorknob and turning it only to have the door open to the left of her, to stop her little 'snooping'. She pulled her hand away quickly and leaned up against the door as if she was really bad at finding things.
---------------------------------
When he opened the door to wake Alix up, he was first greeted with the sight of an empty bed, that and the thick blankets were strewn about, indicating she had left the bed. At first, he though the might have left to do something, but realized that she didn't have her equipment that was lazily laying around the desk, along with some of his own weapons.
Jade eyes glanced around the room as he pushed the door father open, to finally see her leaning against his closet door, foot resting against it, while her other leg prepped her up, putting enough weight on it that if he should kick it, she'd collapse to the floor. Her eyes were drifting off every other place by him. Of course, Gaara, in his own way was a little bit… paranoid. Hence why he left Sand to go find Alix last night. He was… Worried.
Now that she was by his closet, there must have been a reason to be there, right? Of course, there wasn't all that much in it, just some photo's of his family that was kept in the corner of the closet, his teddy bear that he had when he was just a child, worn out from the years of 'play' and dropping he did to it when the kids ran away from him in fear. Inwardly, he winced at that sudden memory, and that caused the beautiful woman to look at him, confused.
"Gaara?" Her voice seemed to be worried, why? He had no clue. He watched as she pushed herself off the door and walked over to him, seemingly getting shorter, but she didn't really care. Her hand brushed against his forehead, causing him to glare at her.
"Are you sick?"
"I don't get sick."
She pulled back and crossed her arms over her chest, looking at him confused-like. "Then… Why do you seem as if your going to pass out?"
His arms moved to cross over his chest, closing his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath in, before exhaling. "Signing paperwork, and worrying about this war is giving me headaches. And Fan-girl mail as well."
"I could go kill all of them, yanno, keep it our secret." She winked at him, a smirk crossing her lips before she turned away from him and moving to where her weapons were.
--------------------------------------
"Gaara! Alix! Hiii!" A loud-mouth child, as Alix had come to calling him, came bounding down the streets of Suna, running into people, earning random hits from the pink haired kunoichi. Of course, he'd only laugh it off and rub the back of his head. Coming to a stop in front of the two, he grinned.
"Ano sa, Ano sa… are you two dating?"
Alix choked on air, Gaara was… well Gaara and he only grunted. MaiAki came out of no where's at that particular moment, and laugh, Batman just… stared at MaiAki. And everyone around them just watched what was going on. This must have been on of the most awkward of moments in her entire life.
Hell, she didn't think that Gaara and her were a couple. I mean, sure, they… kissed… hugged… slept in the same bed together… Okay, so they qualify as 'going out'. No one made a move to be 'boyfriend/girlfriend'. Nor did either one speak of it. Now that Loud-mouth Child had to say something, it was probably going to be brought up by one of the two later.
MaiAki's hand move to come into contact with Alix's back, after grasping her air back into her lungs, before slapping her hand away after hitting it one, too many times.
"So!?"
"Uh… No…"
"I think so. They look cute together.." MaiAki butted in, standing beside Naruto, faking a thinking pose while the two looked over Gaara and Alix.
Man this was odd.
'I'd qualify you two as being together!'
'Holy hell! Omen, where… Wha.. Now I'm confused.'
'Ah, child, guess what, you don't need to learn the other healing procedures. They'll come to you naturally in different situations, all you have to do is move to the dieing part, which, knowing Sexy Eyes, you'll have to tell him, or he'll rip apart Mike.'
'Stop calling him Sexy Eyes, Omen.' Alix sighed lightly. 'I know, I know. This is going to be hard… He's gonna forbid it.'
'Hey, you wont die completely, just to the brink. Of course, I can't tell you much of what will happen, but yeah… Uh… their talking to you.'
"…-a's gotta good girl!" This time is was Batman's voice to bombard her mind, which caused her to cover her ears and back up.
"Holy hell! Batman!"
"What…?"
"…My ears are about to explode. What happened to you!? Did MaiAki castrate you or something?"
That earned a small chuckle from Gaara, a laugh from Naruto, Sakura having to cover her mouth to expose her laughter. Shino just adjusted his glasses against the bridge of his nose. Laughing was way to out-of-character for him. Kiba and Akamaru just stood there, looking like idiots.

R i d 3 r: Looky, I have no idea for the real purpose of this chapter, but there 2 parts to this chapter, just cut down. Now… Aren't you happy? 2 in one day. Also, on a note… Fan fiction is being a complete and total bitch. First off, it doesn't send me any of the reviews I get from anyone, Then I can log onto my account, then I couldn't post up my stories… -sigh- It was irritating to say the least. At least this makes up for the lack of timing I've had. Anyways, you know the oh-so-familiar Drill. Review please!
