Chapter 7
Kazumi tossed and turned around in her bed, unable to sleep. *dammit Gaara! Your insomnia is contagious!* she sat up at and glared at the wall separating the two rooms. *today's Tuesday, which means I have four days left in sunagakure. Shikamaru arrives on Friday, and we leave Saturday. Blah. Then that means I'll end up getting to the sound around Thursday of next week.* She groaned,and rested her head on her legs.
I'm here if you want to talk, you know.
'Yeah, yeah. I know.', she muttered. Kazumi threw herself back down on the bed, cupping her eyes with her hands. Suddenly, a kitten with wild, blue fur that had black flames, two tails, and mismatched colored eyes appeared on her stomach. 'What's wrong child? You haven't been this frustrated in a while.',the kitten asked. Kazumi peeked through one hand. 'Oh, matatabi. I just can't sleep. I think I'm just worried about what I'm going to face when I get back to the sound.', the bluenette replied. 'Oh, darling. Don't worry about it. Lay down correctly,and sleep.', matatabi purred. Kazumi smiled and stroked the kitten's head. The blue furball curled up next to her and purred the whole night. The sound relaxed Kazumi, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.
Kazumi awoke the next morning feeling refreshed, and ready to take on the world. She showered and dressed quickly, before she went down stairs. The kitten followed after her. 'Goodmorning guys.', Kazumi greeted, taking a seat next to Kankuro. Temari nodded, and gave her a big smile. 'Aw, who's this little guy?', Kankuro asked, petting the kitten. 'Oh, this is matatabi. She's my jinchuuriki.', she introduced. 'Greetings.', said the kitten, as she jumped on kankuro's lap. Temari looked at her with a raised eyebrow. 'Didn't yugito nii possess the two-tailed jinchuuriki?', Temari questioned. 'She owned a third of me, while Kazumi had the rest.', matatabi replied. 'Orochimaru sealed 2/3rds of matatabi in me, and left the rest with yugito nii to train me. When the akatsuki tried extracting the beast from inside her, the rest of matatabi immediately transferred into me. What the akatsuki actually got was just her pure soul.', Kazumi added. Temari nodded, taking a sip from her tea. Kankuro put an arm around kazumi's shoulder. 'Mind helping me fix puppets today?', Kankuro asked. Kazumi looked at him. 'Sure, but you're going to have to carry me over there, I'm not in a walking mood.', she teased. Kankuro smirked and got up, followed by Kazumi. The puppet master bent down, letting Kazumi know to jump on his back. 'You're such a sucker, you know.', she giggled, as she jumped on him. Kankuro scoffed,carrying her out, piggyback style. Matatabi licked her paw. 'Well, I'm going to go check out that Gaara kid.', she purred, pouncing up the stairs.
Gaara stood by his window, examining Kankuro and Kazumi. 'why does she do this to me?! What's this turning in my stomach? Why am I full of hatred for my very brother.', he grumbled. 'That's called jealousy, my dear.', matatabi announced, as she slipped through the door. The redhead glared at her. 'Im not jealous. I just don't like Kankuro with her. That's all.',he growled. Matatabi snooped around, smelling various things before speaking. She finally stopped on a window's edge. 'Alright sabaku. Whatever you say, but denial isn't going to help that jealousy of yours. I suggest making a move before Saturday.', the kitten said, lazily. Gaara gave in. 'Okay. Even if I am...'jealous', how do I know she has the same sort of feelings for me?.', he asked, sarcastically. The blue ball of fur rose an eyebrow at him. 'It's not rocket science, lord kazekage. Make her jealous.', she replied, and with that, she vanished in a puff of blue smoke. 'What? How?!', Gaara shouted after the cat disappeared. He sighed. 'Stupid cat.', he muttered. He paced around his room all day,he didn't even bother going up to his office. He shot his arms up. 'Ugh! When is she going to come back?!', he shouted. Just then, he heard the bluenette's laughter coming from outside. 'Finally.', he muttered, cloaking himself in a barrier of sand, and transporting himself to the front door, in the dark living room.
Kazumi waved goodbye to one of the villagers she was conversing with. She had a take out plate for Gaara in her hand,she opened the door and turned on the lights. 'Where have you been all day?', Gaara asked coldly. Kazumi jumped, almost dropping the plate of food she had brought. 'Kami, Gaara! You scared the jinchuuriki out of me!',she panted, 'By the way, I brought you dinner.' Kazumi walked over to the dinner table, followed by Gaara. 'You didn't answer my question.', he spat. Kazumi looked at him. 'I was with Kankuro. Fixing puppets.', she replied. 'Is that what you guys are calling it now?! 'Fixing puppets'?!', Gaara yelled. Kazumi's mouth arched in a 'the fuck' look. 'What else are we supposed to call it? Repairing puppets?', she said in a sarcastic tone. Gaara glared at her, then sat down. Kazumi continued to stare at him, confused. Then it hit her. 'Oh!', she shouted. She stood behind were Gaara sat, and started rubbing his shoulders. 'Aw, Gaara. Were you jealous?', she cooed. She felt Gaara's shoulders tense. Kazumi smirked and rested her head on his shoulder. 'How was the paperwork today?',She asked softly. Gaara stayed quiet. The blue haired girl jerked back up, placing a hand on her hip. 'You didn't go?',she growled. The kazekage focused his attention on her. Kazumi rubbed her temples. 'You're going to get an earful from the elders, you know.', she sighed. Gaara opened his mouth to speak, but was silenced by Kazumi. 'Really Gaara? How could you just decide not to go to work? You're kazekage!', she scolded. The redhead had enough. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up. Kazumi glared at him. 'Don't try to shut me up! I'm not done scolding you!.', she yelled. Gaara walked over to her. They were chest to chest. 'This discussion is over.', he hissed, looking down at the short, blue haired girl. Kazumi tiptoed, trying to seem more intimidating, 'It's not over until I say it is.',she spat back. Gaara couldn't help but smile at the girl. She looked adorable trying to gain height. The kazekage bent down a little more. They were nose to nose now, bodies pressing against each other. *what's this...urge? No. I can't. I must resist.* Gaara couldn't hold it in anymore. He wanted to grab her, hold her against his body,kiss her endlessly, and confess all his feelings he was developing for her. *fuck it!* Gaara wrapped his arms around kazumi's waist, and sat her on the table. She blushed. 'W-what are you do-'. Her speech was interrupted by Gaara's lips against hers. At first she hesitated,but eventually gave in and kissed him back. She closed her eyes, letting her hands coil around his neck, she ran her fingers through his messy, fire red hair. Gaara slowly pulled back, they rested their foreheads on eachother. 'Is this what 'fixing puppets' meant to you?', Kazumi teased. The kazekage chuckled, giving her a soft kiss on the nose. 'It was what I was afraid it meant.', he replied. She smiled and traced the kanji on his forehead. 'I'm still mad at you for not going. Tomorrow, you and I are going to hit that paperwork hard.', she whispered playfully. Gaara hung his head and groaned. 'Okay. Just as long as you're there with me.', he sighed. He gave her a kiss on the forehead, before carrying Kazumi to her room.
