Oh wow it's been like forever since I put up a new chapter. Life's been a little crazy here for me. I tried out for my school's musical because Gaara always tells me I have a nice voice. So now if I make it in I won't be able to put up chapters so often. Sorry in advance. Okay last time in Gaara and Sara had a little bit of a lemon. Hehe... (points fingers shly like Hinata.)

Chapter 16

Gaara's POV

Morning light streamed down on Sara and me. Her eyes flickered open.

"Good morning my Vampiric Angel."

She got up off me and grabbed her clothes. "Don't call me that." She started pulling on her clothes. I stood up and got dressed as well. I was confused. "Did I do something?"

She was fully dressed as I pulled my fishnet on. She glanced at me then out to the water. "No, I just don't like you calling me that."

"Oh, sorry I didn't realized it bothered you so much."

"It's fine."

I pulled my shirt on and walked to her side.

"We must return home now."

"Yeah, probably a good idea. They're going to wonder where we are."

"I don't care a damn about who's missing us."

I was surprised at her cold manner. She jumped up into the trees and continued on jumping branch to branch. I followed her. 'Something's wrong and she won't tell me.'

"Maybe it was something she dreamed. Did you think of that?" came Shukaku's voice.

'But what could it have been for her to get so mad at me.'

"Hey I'm the wrong guy to ask. I don't have all the answers."

Sara's POV

I jumped up into the trees and continued on jumping branch to branch. My thoughts troubled me. 'Could he really do that to me? Like in my dream…? My own lover…I don't want to believe it but my dreams have never lied to me before. I finally find someone to love and he has to-- grrrr…' I felt my hate building up. I took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. 'The future is not set in stone. He merely has the choice. I can not hate him for something he hasn't done yet. I must give him a chance…' I stopped and waited for Gaara to catch up. He stopped beside me. I glanced at him then looked to the ground. We were standing in sand. We were soon to be home. "Ummm… Gaara. I'm sorry I was a total bitch to you earlier."

"It's okay. Now let us return home."

Gaara's POV

I opened the door to my home and walked in. Sara stepped in after me and closed the door behind her.

I looked around. "It's good to be home." I sighed then turned to her. "It's late, why don't you go get ready for bed and get some sleep." I went down the hallway to my bedroom and opened the door. I felt Sara come up behind me as I looked around. My dresser was splintered and the dresser mirror was shattered. The shards were scattered around the room along with glass from the broken window. A little of Sara's blood splattered my walls and there was a pool of blood near the door.

"I'm so sorry…" she whispered.

I walked to the center of the room and picked up a kunai-knife covered in blood. "What for? For protecting yourself?" She was quiet as I twirled the kunai-knife around my finger. "Is any of this blood theirs? Or is it all yours?"

"I'm afraid I didn't spill any of their blood. All of this blood is mine, including the kunai-knife you hold in your hand." She looked all around the room and then back at me.

"So what were you doing in my room to start with?" She turned around and began to leave the room.

"Look over by your bed and you will find the answer you seek."

She closed the door behind her, locking the scent of blood in with me. I heard the shower turn on as I walked slowly towards my bed. I looked down at the floor near the bed post and saw my teddy bear. I smiled as I picked it up. I noticed a little blood splattered on it. I then carefully took the covers off my bed and shook them out outside. When I came back to my room I saw Sara standing in the doorway, her hair hanging down wet, and she was dressed in black pajamas with red roses on them. I thought she looked adorable.

"Sara you should got to bed. You need to rest." She nodded returned back to her bedroom and closed the door behind her.

Sara's POV

I returned to my room and closed the door behind me. I crawled under the covers and closed my eyes as sleep crept in.

When I opened my eyes again it was still pitch black out. I groaned as I looked at the clock. It read 2:42 a.m. 'Why the hell did I wake up?' I shivered. "Why is it so cold in here? I can see my own breath."

"Saaraaaaa……" whispered a voice. "Saaaarraa… Saaraaa…Saara…Sara…Sara…" it whispered in a ghostly voice.

"Who's there?" I barely whispered out.

"Saaraaa….Sara…Sara….Sara…."

I was freaking out. 'Maybe I'm dreaming….but, no, I'm actually cold. This is real.' I stumbled out of bed trying to get to the door. Fog seemed to seep in from no where, covering my path. I began to feel drowsy and my mind started to cloud up. I fell to my knees.

"Are you trying to leave me? No I can't have that. You must stay here at my side. Come my dear child. Come, come, come."

"No! Stay away from me!!" I tried to crawl away but I felt a hand grab my ankle drawing me back, back into the denser fog, away into a unknown place. I kicked trying to get away. "No! Let go of me! LET GO!" the hand let go and I jumped up and ran for the door. I grabbed the doorknob.

"No, don't leave my dear child."

"Leave me the fuck alone!" I flung the door open and ran out…right into Gaara. I collapsed into his arms, sobbing loudly." He pulled me tight against his bare chest. I cried into his shoulder, thankful that he was there.

"Sara? Sara, what's wrong?"

I couldn't talk I was crying to hard.

"Why is are you so cold?

I shook my head, trying to get myself under control. Then I guess he felt the air from my room.

"Why is your room so cold?"

Gaara's POV

I had cleaned up my room and the changed into my pajamas. (Which are black draw-string pants with no shirt. J ) I laid down on my bed and pulled a book off my bookcase. It was a Anne Rice book. I was a fan of her work and any good author of horror. It was really late when I thought I heard Sara walking around her room. I put my book down and got up. I went down the hallway listening to her muffled voice. I couldn't make out any words. Then I heard her scream "Let go." I reached for the doorknob and the heard her say, "Leave me the fuck alone!" Then she came out, running into me. I pulled her tightly to my body letting her tears drip onto my chest.

"Sara? Sara, what's wrong? Why are you so cold?" She shook her head. I felt the air seep out of her room. It was freezing. "Why is your room so cold?"

I scooped her up into my arms and carried her into my room. I pulled the covers down and gently laid her down, covering her up with the covers again. I then crawled in beside her. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her tight against me again.

"You getting any warmer?"

She nodded. "Thank you…" she whispered.

"So what happened?"

"I don't really know….There was someone there in the room with me. I didn't see who it was, all I heard was his voice calling, calling for me to come to him, be with him. I was so scared. He grabbed me not wanting to let me go."

"Did you recognize the voice?"

"It was so familiar…but yet… I can't seem to place it."

"You should go back to sleep now."

"You won't leave me if I do?"

"I promise you I'll stay by your side until you awaken."

Her eyes slowly closed pulling her back into a deep sleep. "Thank you."

Okay so there's chapter 16. Whew! Now on to chapter 17. Next time Sara meets someone... that's all I'm saying. By the way you should try singing to Gaara once in awhile. The results are sometimes intersting. Hehe... (For those just tuning in I'm Gaara's wife. Sorry but I have the ring to prove it. Of course Gaara being married never stops him from flirting.)
