Taylor here! Wassap guuuuys? :D Tehe, I hope ya'll like it so far, I know the chapters are short but I'm trying to space it out and what not, chu know? Aha, I'll be making them longer though so no worries I suppose. Okey here we go with CHAPTER 3! Oh by the way, forgot to do this in my last two chapters…

I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING NARUTO RELATED IN THIS STORY! :D Kishimoto does, so pffft. ;P

I jumped over the fence and proceeded to trudge through the sand until I could see the sand village coming up. I activated my Scanner (A/N: Okey so! I made this eye technique up, you'll see what it does later on, I end up explaining it.) and searched for her chakra levels, just as Gaara said, she was standing on top of the Kazekage's building staring up at the sky. Someone was there with her though, Kankuro. He said something quick to her as I approached and then left. I focused my chakra into my feet and scaled the building. As soon as I was close enough to jump the rest I did, and landed swiftly on the top, the only noise that was heard was the little 'tmp' of my shoes when I landed. She tensed up and I knew she knew I was there. My mind went into overreaction mode and I started second guessing myself as to why I was here. Sure Gaara had a point with all of what he said, but what if I wasn't the reason for her behavior change? What if she was dating someone already? A GUY no less! Oh that'd be just perfect…and if that was so, then that means that I kissed her…and…OH GREAT, now I feel horrible-! My train of thought was stopped when she turned around and I could tell she had been crying.

'She was…crying…TEMARI was…CRYING! Oh great! It's true! She's upset because I kissed her and she's dating someone or something along those lines! Oh fuck I'm such a dick!' I thought to myself.

"Temari I'm so sor-"I started to say but stopped when a loud whack and the sting of my face occurred. I went flying across the roof and slid into an open space.

"Gah…" I mumbled and then touched the cheek she punched; I could already feel a bruise forming. Oh awesome, that'll be a great story to tell Sugata Sempai tomorrow. I looked up to see her crying again.

"You just had to come along and break down my defenses…didn't you Taylor? I promised myself to never let anyone in my heart again…but…but did that happen? No!" She yelled, a river pouring down her face by now.

"Temari..I.." Was all I managed to choke out as I got up. I couldn't believe I caused her all this pain.

"I couldn't help the way my heart beat fast whenever I saw you…or the way it would beat faster whenever you touched me. My skin would burn under your touch, but in a good way. It's like you set off a hidden fire inside me that I didn't know I had. And because I didn't know it was there, I mistook it for weakness…which led me to push you away. B-but when you kissed me, my brain didn't have time to react to what I was feeling. My brain said no but my heart ached to kiss you back. Before I could pick, you took off." She said, her tears subsided to a few sniffles here and there.

"Temari…I had no idea you felt this way…that's…that's exactly how I feel about you. Except I knew I liked you for so long." I said, barely audible.

"Really?" She asked, a small smile working its way onto her face.

"Of course." I said, returning her smile and walking over to her. I took her hands in mine and looked her in the eyes. She looked nervous.

"C-can we try that again?" She asked nervously as she bit her lip and looked down at me, due to the fact that she was a bit taller than I was.

"Try what again?" I asked, confused.

"This." She stated simply, before she placed her lips on mine. It was funny how perfectly I thought our lips fit together and I decided to deepen the kiss. My tongue slid along her bottom lip lightly and she parted her lips so that our tongues could meet. Unlike her rough appearance, her tongue moved with mine gently and soon I found myself needing air so I reluctantly pulled away, blushing profusely.

"I'm thinking that was way better than the first time?" She teased, smirking at me.

"Shut up…" I mumbled, and then tackled her into a hug.

"Mmm, I could get used to this."I murmured into her chest, I took in her scent and I swear I could have stayed there for 3 years – oh wait…3 years…SHIT! I'm leaving tomorrow. This is not good. She wrapped her arms around me kissed the top of my head.

"Me too…" She mumbled into my hair. I pulled back a little bit to look her in the eyes.

"I'm leaving tomorrow…for 3 years…" I stated meekly.

"I know…" Was all she said as she pulled me into her again and squeezed me as if I was going to disappear, and in all truth, I technically was.

"I'm sorry I waited so long." She said after a moment of silence.

"Don't be sorry. Everyone needs their time." I said smiling.

"I suppose you're right."She said, kissing my forehead. Just then I had a brilliant idea.

"Hey Temari…?" I asked.

"What's up?" She replied.

"Would you wanna spend the night at my house? I'd like to have at least a little longer with you before I leave." I said, solemnly.

"Yeah sure, just no funny stuff! At least not yet." She teased, and then leaned into my ear to say the last part.

"Y-yeah! I totally gotcha. No funny business." I laughed nervously. She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Kidding, I'm kidding!" I said, throwing my hands up in a defeated position.

"Yeah, you better be!" She teased.

"Let's go back to my house; I'm starting to get tired." I said, yawning right on cue. I looked up at the moon and guessed it was roughly, 11 o'clock at night. Jeez, how long had we been talking for? Well I guess it's true what they say, time does fly when you're having fun.

"Alright, but don't fall asleep right away." She said, laughing.

"I'll try not to; I have an early day tomorrow and what not." I said, flipping my hair. We jumped down from the roof and started walking through the village hand in hand towards my house. We reached the front and I silently opened the door and turned the lights on. Everything was exactly as I left it this morning, which is good. I always check to see if everything is in order when I get home; it's a habit I guess.

"So I'm thinking a good movie and cuddle time sound amazing right now." I said, facing her as I interlocked our fingers.

"That does sound very good." She said, and then we picked out some random movie, and cuddled up close in my bed. My head was on her chest and her arm was wrapped around my waist. I was so comfortable that I kept slipping into a light sleep but Temari would whisper my name and I'd wake up again.

"Taylor…?" She asked, yet again.

"Mmm." I mumbled sleepily, and then looked up at her through half lidded eyes.

"I want you to know that I promise to wait I'll wait for you." She said suddenly.

"I promise to wait to. 3 years is a long time but as soon as I get back I'm running straight into your arms." I said, nuzzling her neck.

"And I'll be waiting with arms open." She said, running her fingers through my hair.

"Good." Was all I said and before sleep overtook me I kissed her.

"Rest up, babe. Wake me up tomorrow when you wake up." She said, and then kissed my forehead.

"Mmm…Okey." I mumbled lazily, slipping into a peaceful slumber.

Okey! Here's chapter 3! :D Hope you enjoyed itttt. Review, yeah? Do it! You won't! Haha! Anyways, this chapter was fairly long (to type anyways) I have this whole story on my i-pod touch, I wish I could just zap it onto here, then my life would be so much easier! xD OKEY BAIII.
