Chapter Three
Gaara glanced warily at the female beside him. They had, for some reason unknown to him, began watching many Disney movies and just happened to be on Bambi when she had started blubbering uncontrollably.
At first Gaara had tried to ignore it but it eventually got so loud he wanted to smack the woman. Then Gaara, being the clever guy he was, decided to muffle the sound the only way he could think of on short notice, by pressing her face into his chest.
Apart from a small squeak of suprise no more sound passed her lips and she finnally began to be quiet. Gaara was very thankful of this and was about to apologise when he froze.
He looked down to see her face cradeled against him, her eyes glistening with left over moisture, hair mussed and lips slightly parted. That was all it took for Gaara to snap.
he don't know what happened but he felt a small string of restraint break inside him. He bent down and gave her, a rather hard, kiss.
She gasped in shock and the further parting of her lips compelled gaara to lick her bottom lip as he entered he warm cavern. Gaara found the feeling heavenly.
After seemingly getting over the initial shock she finally relaxed enough to kiss back and tentativley reached her tounge out to brush against his.
Gaara felt himself groan as she did and began to brush his tounge against hers. Slowly they began to battle for dominance, Gaara of course winning.
He then began to slowly carress her hip and slowly slid his hand higher and he was just about to grab her breast,
"Love!" Gaara's eyes snapped open in suprise as he noticed the rather exasperatted looking woman in front of him. She shook her head at him. "Jeeze, I've been calling you for hours! I know your still recovering but you shouldn't sleep every hour of the day, it's not healthy you know."
Gaara in dazed confusment nodded as he ruffeled his bed just sighed at his antics. "I just wanted to ask you what you wanted for dinner, I was thinking of ordering in."
She heard him mumble a dissinterested 'anything' and her eyes widened slightly, Gaara was usually thrilled at eating take away because it meant something she hadn't cooked, which meant something greasy and fried. Giving up she went to the kitchen to order, mumbeling about uncooperative teenagers, when Gaara started to think.
What was with that dream? It had been years since he had dreamt anyway, unless you counted the nightmares, which he didn't. Why had he dreamed about Sakura? In that way? He was so confused, he felt air whoosh past him as his head hit the sofa pillow. Why had he enjoyed it so much?
He was in the middle of organising things in his mind when suddenly thier earlier conversation came into play.
"I want duck Sakura!" he yelled to her "Good meaty duck!" A distressed looking Sakura looked at him suddenly.
"But Love! What if it had little duckling babies! Wouldn't you rather some noodles?" She gave a hopeful smile to which he responded with a hard, stubborn gaze.
"I want duck." Those three simple words ended any hopes Sakura had of changing his mind. She gave a small pout before shrugging.
'Oh well,' she thought absentmindedly 'At least he's acting normal again' she paused before reconsidering. 'Normal for Gaara anyway.'
That night Gaara pushed away thoughts of his dream and tried to focus on other things, he also enjoyed his duck and in an act of pity gave Sweetheart some to fill his stomache as the cats own food bowl remained empty once more.
"Oooh Sakura look at that! Wouldn't you kill for one of those!" Sakura turned a bored gaze towards the sparkly handbag her friend was pointing at.
"Yes I suppose so if my pay check had an extra three zeros on it." Ino did not apprieciate her friends humor and let her know it.
"Sakura, can't you just pretend to enjoy it! I mean I'm just trying to cheer you up a bit, it's been ages since you've hung out with us." Hinata turned to her friend and gave a small nod in silent agreement.
"I know Ino. It's just I've been a little busy at the moment I guess. I haven't even called Deidra since last week, the poor boy must think I'm dead."
Hinata gave a brief worrisome glance at that news, knowing Deidra he just might come to that conclusion and if he did he may take drastic action.
"I think I'll just go call Deidra and make sure he's okay." Hinata stated with a pleasent smile, silently thinking 'and that he's alive.'
Sakura gave a small wave where as Ino barley noticed the quiet woman leave the shop. She shook her head exasperatedly. She knew shopping wasn't really Sakura's cup of tea, but usually she would at least fake enjoyment to keep her happy.
She was about to question her more as she glanced out of the shop window, she gazed briefly at a store opposite and a light suddenly lit up her eyes.
Skaura gave a weary glance at her friend as she noticed a glint light her eye.
"Ino what are you -
She didn't get a chance to finish as she was suddenly dragged out the store by her friend and into another one rather quickly, She was about to question her friends sanity when she was alerted to the sounds of animals.
She looked up before noticing fully that they were in a pet shop. She also realised Hinata had followed after them as she ented behind them.
Turning to her friend with a curious gaze Sakura questioned "Why are we here?"
Ino smiled. "I know you've been busy with that stray -." she paused thinking "Speaking of which although you did briefly mention you took in a stray you never mentioned what type of animal you took in."
Sakura paused, she had been delibratley brief on the details for a reason, if Ino ever found out she had taken in, and was now living with a young man, six years her junior, she would freak, literally. Which Would definitley not be good for Sakura.
"Er, he's," pausing she tried to imagine wether Love would take more offense at being called a cat or a dog, thinking of such things brought an image of Love with floppy ears and a wagging tail. Sakura paled at that. Definitley less offensive to say cat. "Cat Ino, he's a cat."
Raising a single blonde eyebrow Ino gave her a worried glance. She new of Sakura's bad habits when it came to looking after one cat, somehow she imagined having two would be a great deal more difficult for her.
"Okay then. Let's get your new kitty cat a collar!" Sakura panicked when 'collar' left the blondes mouth, she however had no time to protest as Ino was already glancing through the extensive collection of cat collar's.
As both Ino and Hinata presented her thier choices, a glittery purple one and simple plain blue with a silver bell respectively, she said it would be better getting a dog collar as this was a very, very large cat.
'Oh yes' she thought wryly 'a very large kitty indeed.'
I did it! I updated finally! Enjoy and please read and review :)
