Hey guys! damn this has to be my longest chapter EVER! hope you like it! 3

(Aya's POV)

I closed the door to my room and leaned against the frame. Did I really just do that? I asked myself. I shook my head, what happened? What made me kiss Gaara? Even if it was just on the cheek… as if I didn't already know.

I smiled to myself; I like him… a lot.

(Gaara's POV)

I stood there in the hallway; I couldn't move. She hugged me and then she kissed me… I feel strange… It's a good thing she went back to her room, I'm pretty sure my face was the same color as my hair. My heart was pounding in my chest, and breathing was uneven.

I took a deep breath and walked to my room and closed the door. I don't get it, she knows I'm a demon – she still talks to me, I almost kill her – she asks me to go to the movies, I ask her to go for a walk – she agrees, she almost gets bitten my a snake while on the walk – she kisses me! I thought all people were the same, only caring about themselves and never opening their eyes. I don't get it… no I don't get her… She makes me feel… happy? She may be the only person I've never been tempted to kill. Even Naruto can push my buttons, but not her… I don't even know what I'm doing, I've been letting her sleep on my shoulder, I've carried her, I had my arm around her the majority of the field trip, (what was with that exchange student by the way…?) I sat and watched the clouds with her… sigh… maybe I should try to get some sleep…

(Aya's POV)

I sat up in bed and looked at the clock, 5:25 hhhmmm… Gaara might be up, or Sai. I looked at my bandaged side and the pain caught up to me, it wasn't that bad but still very irritating. I got up and walked out my door to the kitchen to find my pain pills, I swear when this is over I'll have a tolerance for them. I picked up the bottle and popped out a few pills and dry swallowed them. Wait was that more than two? I don't think so. I shrugged and sat down on the couch to watch my new NCIS episode.

(Gaara's POV)

I rolled over and stared at the ceiling, well no sleep last night, or the night before, maybe I need to see a doctor. I decided against that and got up to go eat breakfast. I looked at the clock on my wall before I walked out the door, 5:46 I wonder who's up.

I meandered into the kitchen to find the silverware all over the floor and the fridge door open. I speed walked to the TV room and found Aya upside down on the couch laughing at the TV I think… but she was watching Nightmare on Elm Street…

"Aya?"

She jumped up and started laughing harder, "HI GAARA! I DIDN'T SEE YOU!" she yelled.

"Aya are you okay?" I noticed her pupils were dilated.

She wobbled over to me, "Me? I'm fine! Never felt better!" she giggled again.

This was all very amusing but I didn't know what was going on… she wasn't on drugs was she? Wait maybe she took to many pain pills. She said she only had six left last night. I walked back to the kitchen and picked up the bottle of meds and counted the pills, three. She took one too many, but how would that make her act like this?

"Hey! What's all that noise?" I heard someone yell from down the hall. Oh great Mr. Jackass is here…

Kiba walked up to me and glared, "What's going on?"

I glared back at him, "Aya took too many pain pills and is acting crazy, I'm going to take her to the nurse." I turned to go get Aya but Kiba stopped me.

"Why don't I take her to the nurse?" He said still glaring.

"Because she's my responsibility, now get out of my way." I shoved past Kiba and went to the TV room.

Aya was screaming at the TV, "YOU IDIOT! WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY AWAKE? NOW THERE'S BLOOD DRIPPING INTO THE LIVINGROOM! DO YOU KNOW HOW INCONSIDERATE THAT IS!"

I chuckled slightly and shook my head, "Come on Aya we have to go see the nurse."

She turned and groaned, "I don't wanna go see that pink haired bitch she aggravates me!"

I sighed, "I know that, she aggravates me too." I put my hand on her shoulder, "Come on, I don't want you to die on me okay?"

She looked into my eyes and smiled, "Okay I'll go, but only because your so cute!" She wrapped her arms around my neck, "Just promise we can get ice-cream afterwards?"

I smiled and hugged her back, "Alright I promise."

She smiled again and grabbed my hand and we headed out the door.

Sakura held the little flashlight in front of Aya's eyes and moved it back and forth, "Well she seems pretty stable, I don't think we have to pump out her stomach. She's just sensitive to this kind of medication so just a little too much goes a long way. She'll be fine in a couple hours, until then just make sure she doesn't hurt herself."

I nod and lead Aya out of the nurse's office, "Alright where do you want to go for ice-cream?"

She tilted her head a little in thought and then jumped up and down, "DIARY QUEEN!"

I smiled, "You mean Dairy Queen?"

She frowned, "Same difference now let's go!"

I watched Aya eat her blizzard next to me on the park bench, she was humming to herself as she ate. I didn't recognize the melody so I just went back to my twist cone.

"Hey Gaara?" Aya's voice was suddenly monotone.

"Hmm?" I replied my mouth full of ice-cream.

"You got ice-cream on your cheek."

I reach up to get it but she beat me to it, she wiped it off with her thumb.

I could feel my face turning red, "Uh-uh, Aya?"

She looked back up at me and smirked, "Your blushing Gaara-kun."

What is she doing? She kept looking at me smiling, and I couldn't help but smile too.

All of a sudden her phone went off and she looked at it, her face lit up and she threw her face in the air, "YAY~! NEJI'S MAKING TACOS~!" She grabbed my hand and we started running back to the dorms.

"YYYUUUUUUMMMYYYYYYY~~~!" Aya yelled after her fourth soft taco.

Neji smiled brightly, "At least someone likes my cooking."

Naruto frowned, "What do you mean cooking? You just cooked chopped up hamburger!"

An argument ensued between the two and Aya frowned, "Why does everyone around here except you have such a short temper?"

I shrugged, "I don't know, don't worry about it. Are you feeling better?"

She nodded, "Yeah, I have a bit of a head ache though."

"You know your sister Emi is gonna be here in half an hour."

Her eyes went wide, "Holy shit! I completely forgot!" She ran off to her room and shut the door.

I shook my head; she is just full of surprises today.

(Aya's POV)

I finished putting on my witch costume and looked in the mirror; God is it impossible for Hana to pick out a costume that doesn't make me look like a prostitute? The top was way too low, the skirt was insanely short and the fishnet stockings didn't help. I frowned and walked out of the bathroom and looked at Emi. "So what do you think?"

She smiled, "You look great sis."

I hugged her and fixed her cat ears, "Come on lets show the boys."

We walked into the TV room and I smiled, "Well, what do you think guys?"

Let's see, three nosebleeds, five ogles, two smirks, and one smile. Of course Gaara was the one who smiled. ^-^

"You look great." He said.

I blushed and grinned, "Well, we better get going before Emi dies of candy deprivation."

Emi put her hand to her forehead, "So… weak… need… candy…"

We laughed and headed out the door, Halloween here we come!

Emi and I went to every doorstep we could get to and Gaara walked us everywhere. Emi kept asking if I like him and I always changed the subject. She's way too observant for her age…

"Aya?" Gaara asked.

"What is it?"

"… Emi is staring at me again." He said.

I sighed, "Just ignore her for right now okay? She's a little suspicious some times."

We walked up to another house and I rang the door bell, a middle aged man came to the door, "Well aren't you cute." He said to Emi.

She smiled brightly, "Trick or Treat!"

He put a hand full of candy in her bag and I nodded thanks.

As we were walking away I felt something tug at my stocking and then it snapped back. I turned and realized he had put a lollipop in my fishnet stocking, and a five dollar bill. I turned to him horrified and he gave me a creepy smile. I froze and couldn't move, what's wrong with me? Why can't I move?

The man lifted an eyebrow and stepped closer to me and put his arm around me, "Oh? Did you decide to stay here for the night?"

I let out a startled gasp/whimper and the next thing I knew Gaara was standing beside me. He took the lollipop from my stocking and threw it at the man.

"Keep your hands off her." He warned

He pulled me away and we started walking back to the street. The man yelled back, "I thought you where her brother or something, so-rry!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Gaara screamed.

I jumped at Gaara's sudden burst of anger, why was he so upset?

We decided that was enough for one night and headed back to where we parked. (We borrowed Neji's car.)

Okay! Sorry for the wait I've been pretty busy… I'm string on the next chapter right now!
