Chapter 5

Rei woke up early the next morning. She stretched her sore muscles and was about to get up when she realized she wasn't' wearing pants. What the Hell! She searched the ground and found a few rocks. She threw the first one, hitting the Kazekage in the head. He just turned over. She threw a second one but this time it bounced off a wall of sand.

"What do you want?" growled the boy.

"Where are my pants?!"

Gaara turned over. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me! Where the hell are my pants?!"

"What the f**k are you tal-.. Oh..."

Did he just blush? thought Rei.

"Don't look at me like that" snapped Gaara. "I'm not a pervert. I didn't do anything to you. I had to wrap the cut on your thigh" said Gaara as he got out of bed and threw Rei her shorts.

"Creeper" mumbled Rei.

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing" replied Rei in a mocking tone.

"Well I see your feeling better" Mumbled Gaara to himself.

Reiko quickly put on her shorts and she and Gaara packed their stuff. They started towards the Sand Village, traveling silently. Because of Reiko's injuries they had to stop a few times, which cost them a lot of time.

The sun had already set by the time they came across the building. Gaara motioned towards the building. "We'll stay here tonight"

"A hot springs?" Gaara nodded. Reiko shrugged her shoulders, "I don't have an money so you're paying" she said as she walked into the building. The two of them bought a room from the small old woman in the lobby, and then went up stairs to drop off their stuff. Rei headed straight into the bathroom. She quickly undressed then hopped in the shower. The hot water felt good on her tired muscled. While Rei was in the shower Gaara also undressed then put on a robe. He headed down to the main floor and into the hot spring.

Rei enjoyed her shower. She thought it was better than sitting in used bathwater with a bunch of nude old ladies. So gross! After her shower she redressed and redid her bandages, then walked towards the door. At the same time Gaara was coming in and the two collided as they walked through the door. Reiko ran straight into Gaara's rock-hard chest causing her to almost fall backwards.

"Watch where you're going" he said

Rei stuck her tongue out at him as he walked by. "Well I'll be downstairs stealing from the restaurant if you need me" she said with a thievish grin. Before Gaara could respond she had slipped out of the door.

Gaara climbed into the one bed they had in the room after changing into some clean clothes. She is such a child! Rei was down stairs and he figured she would wake him when she got back, so he decided to take a quick break. She didn't...

When Rei woke up she was laying comfortably in a man's arms. She leaned into his chest. She could feel his hot breath on her face. That was one hell of a dream. "Tobi, I had the oddest dream last night. No more late night drinking alright?" She opened her eyes but it wasn't Tobi that was holding her. He was way too pale and his hair was dark red.

"Holy Shit! You Pervert! What the hell do you think your doing?!"

Gaara quickly woke up to find himself holding Rei. This didn't last long though. She sat up quickly and, using both feet, kicked him in the chest, sending him flying off the bed.

"What is wrong with you?!" she yelled

"Whats wrong with me? What is wrong with you?" He yelled back. "Crazy bitch" he mumbled to himself as he picked himself up off the floor.

Before they could finish their argument they heard a scream from downstairs. They grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the room.

A group of familiar men stood in the lobby, gathered around the front desk. The one in the front had the old lady picked up by the frond of her dress. Gaara looked over at Reiko and saw ten-inch steel daggers where her nails should be.

"It's them!" She said with venom in her voice.

"Who?"

"These are some of the men that attacked my village. They are the ones responsible for Tobi's death. I won't forgive them. They shall die where they stand!"

Rei rushed at the small group of men in the lobby. A fountain of blood erupted from the nearest man's chest as Rei's nails shredded through him. More blood came as she sliced the throat of another man. Blood splattered her face and clothing. The man in the front dropped the old lady and she quickly ran outside. He jumped towards Rei, but before he could even attack, a large steel spike shot out of the ground and through his stomach. The rest of the men charged after her, angry that she had killed their comrades. Gaara joined the fight when one of the ninjas made the mistake of coming at him with a sword. He easily blocked the attack and crushed him and two other men with sand coffin. The fight continued until all of the shinobi lay dead, their pools of blood spreading. Rei sat on the body of a dead man, continuously punching the face of the large ninja. Gaara used his sand to gently grab her hand, in mid-swing. A single tear rolled down her angry face. Gaara noticed how small she looked compared to all of her, now dead, opponents. He knelt down beside her and put his hand on her shoulder.

I know that last bit was a bit out of character for Gaara but these two need to start their relationship out somehow *saucy eyebrows*. You will just have to keep reading to find out what happens with these two. Well like I said I hope you found this a little funny. I also hope you found Reiko to be as bad-ass as I do :). Please let me know what you think.
