A/N: Okay, I have a present for you all!!! Gaara you can come out now!!!

-Enter Gaara in a cute little panda costume-

AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at him, he is so ADORABLE!!!!!!

Gaara: I hate you

Me: Love you too, now say your lines.

Gaara: She doesn't own anything, except Kira and Haru, she thanks everyone for their reviews and says please review on this chapter………….Can I get out of this now?

Me: If you wanna dance around naked go ahead

Gaara: What do you mean?

Me: I had Kira burn all your clothes -runs as sand flies towards her-

Gaara groaned as another load of paperwork was dumped on his desk, he really felt like just whacking his head against the desk, but his stupid sand protected him, damn the stupid sand to hell.

"Kankuro!" he shouted.

Kankuro appeared at his door, "yo, bro, what's up?" he grinned.

"Hurt yourself in some way, I need cheering up," Gaara replied boredly, "and my damned sad protects me."

"I will not hurt myself in some way, use Haru as your jester," Kankuro laughed, leaving the room.

Gaara groaned again and rested his head in his arms.

"Do you want some help?" a feminine voice asked, Gaara looked up and saw Kira standing in the doorway, "if not, Temari wants me to go shopping……..again."

Gaara nodded once and she came over to the desk.

"What do you want some help with?" she smiled, pulling a chair round next to Gaara's and sitting in it.

"That," Gaara answered, pointing to the large pile of paperwork in front of him, "but what are you doing in the Kazekage tower, I thought you had to go to the Academy?"

"That starts next week, and I needed to talk to the council member about what I should teach," Kira explained, pulling some of the paperwork toward her, "what do you want me to do?"

"Read through it, make sure it's all in order, any problems, ask me," Gaara said.

"Why is there an order for puppet boxers?" Kira asked, raising an eyebrow, "and another for sandcastle ones?"

Gaara went slightly pink, "their Kankuro's," he muttered hastily, reading the paperwork quickly, avoiding her green gaze.

"Kankuro has puppet and sandcastle boxers?" Kira giggled, "puppets I can see, but sandcastles? Nah uh."

"Okay, okay, their mine," Gaara cried, the pink slightly darer than before.

"Aw, that's so cute," Kira grinned, using the Kazekage's stamp signature thingy and stamping the order through.

"Shut up," Gaara growled, signing a piece of paper and putting it in the 'confirmed' box.

They worked together well, Kira often asking questions about the purchases Gaara made and giggling slightly at the ridiculous demands some of the villagers made.

The work was done quickly and Kira decided to drag a reluctant Gaara round town, steering clear of any and all clothes shops, she'd been in enough of them to last her a lifetime.

"Gaara, is there any good places to train?" Kira asked, frowning slightly as they wandered round the weapon stores part of town.

"The back garden," Gaara shrugged as Kira stopped beside a shop that mainly sold katanas, kunais and shurukin.

"Ah," Kira replied, her eyes fixed on a pair of katanas, they were black, the blade, the hilts, everything was black, then on one in fine sliver a dragon wound its way up the hilt and blade, its eyes gold, while on the other it was the other way round, the dragon was gold and its eyes silver, she gazed at them dreamily, "they're so pretty."

"Do you want them?" Gaara questioned, but it was a pretty stupid question as she standing gazing transfixed at them.

"It's okay, I've got my katanas," Kira shrugged, patting the hilt of one of her katanas, tearing her eyes away from the katanas displayed in the window reluctantly.

"You can have them," Gaara insisted.

Kira was almost at breaking point.

She shook her head, "what's the point if I've already got two perfectly good katanas already?"

"Last chance," Gaara warned, "if you want them, you can have them."

Kira shuffled awkwardly, she really wanted those katanas, but she couldn't just let Gaara buy them for her, she turned to the window, they were gone!

She turned to Gaara, wait, where the hell was Gaara?

Kira looked into the shop window and saw Gaara exchanging money for the two black katanas, she gaped as he came back out the shop and held the package which contained the two katanas out for her.

"Gaara, why did you- you didn't have to- THANK YOU!!!!!" Kira hugged him tightly, "I'll pay you back, I promise, even if I have to take ten S-Class missions in a row, I promise I'll pay you back!!"

Gaara was rather stunned at this, as was everyone else in the street, they were all gaping at the either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid enough girl to hug the Kazekage, Gaara patted the ecstatic girl's back as she clung onto him, hugging him happily.

"Uh, Kira, get off," Gaara ordered, trying to unlatch her hands.

Kira pulled away and grinned at the startled person before her, "thank you," she smiled softly as they carried on down the street, Kira holding her new katanas tightly, "like I said, I promise I'll pay you ba-"

"It was a present, to say welcome to Suna," Gaara cut in, catching the startled look on Kira's face out the corner of his eye, "so you don't have to pay me back."

"Thank you," Kira repeated as they arrived at the house, as they entered the house Kira went to run up the stairs, but then turned back and kissed Gaara's cheek gently, before bolting up the stairs, her cheeks slightly pink.

Gaara touched the spot on his cheek where her lips had touched, a surprised look on his face.

'Her lips are soft,' he thought, before going into the kitchen.

Haru jumped away as Kira sent a few kunai at him, then a volley of shurukin straight after.

"Fire bomb attack," Kira stated calmly, sweeping her new katanas in a cross motion and load of bombs were sent straight at Haru, she appeared behind him as he dodged the small fire bombs and kicked him to the ground, placing chakra and fire into her attack, "Fire Tornado."

An small, but powerful tornado made of the strongest fire Kira could muster flew directly at Haru, as he jumped away the fire followed him, growing quicker every time he moved.

"Shit," he swore, trying to think of a water justu, he came up blank, "okay, okay you win!!" he cried.

Kira smirked and snapped her fingers, the tornado disappeared instantly and she admired her new katanas, they didn't store the heat as long after she'd gotten rid of her fire around them, unlike her other ones which stored the heat for a long time.

"I now believe that you, Haru dear, are my slave for a week," she grinned, sheathing her katanas and placing her hands on her narrow hips.

Haru pouted and Kira laughed, she skipped into the house, her shoulder length purple hair bouncing on her shoulders, she saw Gaara and smiled at him. He simply nodded in return.

"Yo! Haru! Bring me a nice cold glass of lemonade, oh and some ice cream, chocolate!" Kira shouted out to the grumpy Iwa shinobi, "thanks Haru, in my room, 'kay?!"

Haru nodded and slouched toward the kitchen, leaving Gaara and Kira alone.

"Thanks again for the katanas, they're amazing," she said sincerely as Gaara made his way toward her.

He stopped directly in front of the smiling girl, then lowered his lips to hers, one hand on the back of her head, the other on the small of her back.

At first Kira was frozen in shock, but slowly responded, resting her hands on his chest as he pulled her closer to him.

CRASH!!

The sudden crash caused them to leap apart, they turned and saw Kankuro gaping at them, his jaw practically hitting the floor.

"Uh, I, um, I gotta go," Kira muttered, bolting up the stairs.

A/N: So uh what d'ya think?
