Part 11- He is in Charge.

Memo: Hey every one. We are almost done we have only two more after this part. So you all have to tell me what you really think of the story when the last chapter is posted so on with the story.

Two days later I was walking to my appointment with the sand village leader. Everyone, except Gaara since he was never really home, wouldn't tell me who the sand village leader was. All I knew was that he was male, young, and worked very hard. It described Gaara for god's sake. I stopped for a second. Gaara as the leader of the village; know that was funny. I laughed and giggled the entire way to the building. I walked into the building and stopped. Neji was in my way.

"Yuki please don't run." He said, as I was about to turn around.

"What do you want? I said that I never wanted to see or speak to you ever again. I also know that Tsunada did not send you because I said that I would kill her if I did. And I have the power to do so." I was pissed at the Huuga. I glared at him so hard that if looks could kill he would be six feet under at the moment.

"I wanted to as for your forgiveness." He pleaded.

"No way in hell." I was about to pass right by him, but he grabbed my wrist.

"I am so sorry. I never meant to hurt you." I world around to face him.

"Never meant to hurt me? You slept with one of my best friends. I can never truly trust you or Ten-Ten ever again. It hurt when I walked in on the two of you. I am tired of being walked on. I won't let you do it any more. I was serious when I said it was over." He sighed and looked at me.

"Fine. Stay mad at me, but at least forgive Ten-Ten. She was drunk and barely even knew what was going on until she saw the look on your face when you walked in." Remember that night I went out with the girls. Well that same night I walked in on Ten-Ten and Neji sleeping together. I thought about what he was saying. To be honest I don't even think I was mad in more. Hurt, yes a little bit, but not mad. I don't even think I was mad in the first place. Just upset that my trust was broken. And I don't think I ever truly loved Neji. If I wanted to be a hundred percent honest with my self I had probably been in love with some one for a while now. All that hit me at once.

"Holy shit. I'm so screwed." I said for three reasons. Reason number one I realized who I had been in love with. Reason number two one very pissed off girl was heading my way. And reason number three Gaara was wearing the sand leader's clothing. Meaning he was THE LEADER OF THE SAOND VILLAGE.

Gaara's Pov

I was talking with the jounin Aya when I saw the Huuga walk up to Yuki. She didn't look happy about seeing him. From what I could tell he had pissed her off and he wanted her to forgive him. I saw her take the time to actually think about it. Her eyes closed and she took a deep breath. I don't think she ever notices that she doesn't that when she is thinking.

"Kazekaga are you listening to me?" Aya said. I turned my attention back to her.

"Did you say something Aya?" She turned her head to see were my attention had been a few moments ago. Once she had seen Yuki Aya became very angry. "Is there a problem Aya?" I asked. I knew that the Sand village jounin liked me, but she wasn't worth my time.

"Who is the girl with the blue hair?" She asked trying to control her temper.

"Yuki is a Shinobi from Kohana. She is helping us with the war threat. Her skills are very useful." I actually had no idea how helpful her skill would be. I just wanted to get Aya riled up.

"If you will excuse me." I watched Yuki's eyes snap open and go very wide at the sight of the angry girl heading her way. I saw that Yuki's eyes flickered from Aya to me.

"Holy shit I am so screwed." Were the first words from her mouth.

Your Pov

I looked back and fourth between Gaara and the angry girl coming my way.

" Neji if you manage to stop the girl from reaching me with out violence both you and Ten-Ten are forgiven." He looked at me hesitantly, but agreed to it. He then walked up to her. She refused to listen to him so he grabbed her and kissed her. Hey what ever works for him. I saw that Gaara had gone up to his office. I ran up the stairs and barged into his office.

"Took you long enough." I heard raccoon face say.

"What the hell is wrong with you. You knew that I didn't know who the leader of the village was. Why didn't you tell me it was you?"

"It wasn't important. You would have found out any way, and I saw no reason to tell you."

"No reason? I don't have person relationships with people I work with. Tsunada sent me to help you. Y.Y.You raccoon man." His eyebrows, if he had any, would have been at his hairline at the moment.

"First of I am a human not a raccoon. Secondly we don't have a personal relationships." I mentally slapped my self for the relationship comment.

"You know what I mean."

"Know I do not. Care to explain."

"Nope. I think I shall be taken my leave know." I was about to walk out, but sand covered the door.

"Take this sand down right this instant." I said very unpleased and angry at man.

"Not until you explain by what you meant by personal relationships." I looked around to see id I had any place to escape from. Sadly I didn't. I was going to have to face the man. Then an idea hit me.

"No." He growled at my defiance.

"You will tell me or I will force you." He was starting to get angry now.

"I said no. You can try to force me, but it won't work." I was hoping that he would get so angry with me that he would just through me out of his office.

"You troublesome girl. Just remember that I gave you the choice to tell me." I just shrugged my shoulders. I then notice that he got a little gleam in his eye. He then started to physically move closer to me.

"What are you doing. Gaara stay where you are." He still kept coming closer to me as I moved back. After a few seconds my back hit the wall. I was unable to get away.

"Now tell me," To finish his sentence he moved his head so close to my ear that I could feel his breath on my neck "What you meant." It brought me back to my train of thought from before. I looked at Gaara. I had probably loved him since the chunin exams.

"Great, just fucking great." I said out loud at my discovery. He would never love me back.

"Care to tell me your thoughts?"

"Not really. I just realized something that absolutely sucks." Unintended I had rested my head on Gaara's shoulder.

"Must be very horrible if you are crying."

"I'm what?" I snapped my head back and brought my hand to my face. He was right, I was crying. Just because this stupid man didn't love me I was crying. "Damn." I said and the tears started to flow harder.

"You shouldn't cry." He whipped the tears off of my face with his thumb. We were so close that when he had hugged my I had no time to react. When I got use to the fact I was in his arms I relaxed and let the tears come. I felt safe in his arms. Just like the time when I pasted out from when Nikuron had been taken from my body .My eyes went wide as I realized something. Gaara had been the one who had held me.

"It was you." I said to him.

"What was me?' he said in confusion.

"That night."

"What night?" He really had no idea what I was talking about.

"The night that Nikuron had been taken out of my body, it was you who held me and carried me home."

"Yes it was, but I fail to see the importance.

"I am so stupid. Neji said it was him.

"The Huuga obviously lied. I still don't see the point of this." Did I really want to tell him that I was head over heels in love with him? In some ways I just want to scream it at him. In others I wish I were in a different place at a different time. "Yuki?" When I heard Gaara say my name I opened my eyes.

"What do you think of me as a person?" I needed to know this. Based on how he answered would depend on how much I told him of my feelings.

Gaara's Pov

I really thought bout her question. I could tell that it was important to her. What did I think of her? Well she is an annoying woman who is stubborn and never gives up. But she is also remarkably loyal and kind, strong, intelligent, and very beautiful. She will always pay her debts and a great cook. A smirk played on my lips.

Your Pov

I watched as Gaara smirked as he thought. It scared me. I should have never asked him this question. I tightened my grip on his arm to brake him out of his thoughts.

"Don't worry about answering. The question was stupid." I was about to brake away from him when he pushed me up against the wall.

"You are a very remarkable person you know that." He said it here it comes. All about how annoying and foolish I am. "Even though you started younger than most people as a ninja you kept pushing your self with your intense strength that many people wish they had. You are beautiful, kind, smart, and you care deeply about people." I knew it he called me beautiful, smart, and hey wit a minute.

"What?" I said with a doe eyed expression.

"Do I have to repeat myself?" I let everything he just say sink in.

"No, it is just that you called me beautiful." I blushed a dark red.

"Yes I did. Now are you going to tell me what this was all about? You're not the type of person who would cry just for anything." Here goes anything.

"Gaara."

"Yes?" I took a deep breath and tightened my grip on his arm.

"I'minlovewithyou." I said really fast. I closed my eyes tight and waited for him to speak.

"Could you repeat that. You spoke to fast that I couldn't understand you." When I opened my eyes I saw that he had a smirk on his face.

"You heard what I said." I saw his smirk widen.

"I truly did not." I rolled my eyes.

"I'minlovewithyou." I said even faster.

"What?"

"I SAID THAT I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU!" I was a very dark red by this point.

"I thought that was what you said." I was about to retort sarcastically, but he covered my mouth with his. After the initial shock that he was kissing me I kissed him back. He bit my lip to ask for entrance and I gave it to him. For a while our tongues were battling for dominance. My hands were running through his hair, it was really silky and soft, and his hands were on my hips as the door busted open.

"Hey Gaara." We broke away as fast as we could when we heard the familiar male voice. I looked at the door to see the faces of team seven and company. "I think we will see you at your house when you are finished here." Naruto said as he closed the door.

"Well that was embarrassing." I said. I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall. I felt Gaara hover over me so I opened my eyes, but didn't move from the wall.

"I agree." He put his forehead against mine. "Oh and Yuki."

"Yea."

"I love you too."
