Oh wow, yeah...So with my magic computer in my room I was able to type a few chapters, but it's annoying how I have to transfer them onto a disk and then bring it down the other computer to put on the internet. I wish I had internet on my other computer but my mom said absolutly not. Sigh Oh well it's better than nothing. Ok let's see last, wow a lot happened. Ummm...Sara met a new friend, Gaara fixed his room, there was lemon, blushes uh twice... Gaara almost dies and then Sara goes sleepy sleep.

Chapter 18

Sara's POV

When I woke again I looked over to the clock to see that it's red glowing numbers reading 5:33 P.M. I rolled out of bed and stretched. I pulled myself together, brushing my hair and teeth. I walked out into the kitchen to see Gaara reading a Stephen King book. I couldn't see the title. He looked up.

"Well look who's finally up."

"Hey! You made me really tired this morning!" I defended myself with a smile.

"You started it."

"No, it was you when you walked into the shower."

We both laughed. It was like we erased everything bad that had happened this morning. I made dinner and we ate talking and enjoying ourselves. He helped me clean up and when we were done it was 7:42 p.m.

"What now?" I asked.

He went to a closet and pulled out a game. "We're playing 20 questions!" he announced. (If you don't know what 20 questions is, well, you make me depressed.)

"You got to be kidding me!" I laughed

"What? Are you afraid you'll lose?"

"No way!"

We played for awhile, laughing at each others crazy guesses. I picked another card and looked at it. "I'm a person." I read. I looked down at the answer and frowned.

"Number 4."

"I come from the village Hidden in the Mist."

"Uh…number 10."

"My husband was also from my village."

"Number 11."

"I had only one daughter."

"Number 5."

"I moved to the village Hidden in the Sand.

"Number 20."

"I could control many elements, but my favorite was water."

Gaara looked at me. "The only person I know of that lived in this village and could control water was Hikari. Hikari Kyuuketsuki. Your mother."

"You got it." I put the card down and went through the stack of cards. I pulled out my father then my uncle. The last card I saw surprised me. It was Gaara. I pulled that one out too.

"Guess the games over."

I nodded and looked over to the clock. It read 9:17. We cleaned up the game and placed it back in the closet. I still held the four cards in my hand and I was unsure what to do with them, but I knew I didn't want them back in the game box. I went to my room and placed them in my dresser drawer. The I changed into my pajamas and laid in bed. Tomorrow, I decided, I would train.

Gaara's POV

It was morning and Sara was cleaning the kitchen after breakfast. She wasn't 100 herself but she stilled seemed okay.

"I'm going out today. I should be home by around 5:00. If I'm not home by 9:00 come get me. I'll be at the forest outside the village." I nodded and she glided out the door.

"Maybe I should go train too. Learn some new jutsus." I went out of the village and began to train.

Sara's POV

I've had both Oruchimaru's and Gaara's blood. I needed to master their jutsus, add them to my collection. I started with Oruchimaru's . He had a vast collection of seals and jutsus. I found the one for immortality.

"How very interesting…. But it looks like it didn't work to well for him."

I began with simple attacks, like his shadow snakes. I found the one he used on me in our fight. It was only a mind trick. It brought up your most hated memories and plays them.

"Very useful when fighting certain people." I was out all day then came home and made dinner. I went to sleep, repeated what I did the day before. It took my seven days to master all of Oruchimaru's jutsus . On the eighth day I was ready to begin Gaara's jutsus. I started with just learning to control sand normally, then to defend and attack. Then I started with sand clones and other easy jutsus. On the tenth day I had learned all but Sand Avalanche. It required a lot of chakra, which wasn't a problem since I had almost limitless supply. I built up the chakra and made the hand signs. A wall of sand formed in front of me then crashed down. I changed the entire landscape. I took in a breath.

"Amazing…" I did my best to bring the sand back and put it back where it had come from. It was getting late and I headed back to the house.

When I got back Gaara wasn't there. I looked at the clock and saw it read 4:00 p.m.

"Oh, I'm early." I quickly got a shower and changed into to a dark green kimono with blueberries on it. I brushed my hair and put on a little make-up. I smiled at my reflection then grabbed a vampire novel entitled "Dead Until Dark" and walked into the living room to read and wait for Gaara. I always enjoyed reading vampire books to see what others thought we should look and sound like. The door opened and Gaara stepped in.

Gaara's POV

I was surprised to see Sara home already showered and changed. She looked up from her book. She smiled at me.

"I'd say you were out training, since you're covered in sand." She giggled.

I took off my gourd and leaned it against the wall. "What are you reading?" She looked down at her book.

"Dead Until Dark. It's a vampire book."

I gave her a look. "Vampires?"

"Yeah. It always amuses me how people think vampires are. For instance, this author seems to think vampires are dead. No heartbeat, always cold, very pale. I am none of those things. That and we can't eat or drink anything but blood. That's kind of stupid. I mean Really?! They are so judgemental. I can eat and drink human food, I don't need to, but I can. This author thinks I can't go out into sunlight otherwise I'll die.

"What does she write that's true?"

"Our inhuman strength and speed, our hynotizing eyes and our fast healing abilities. Oh, and of course our teeth." She stood up and came over to me. She kissed me softly. "Go wash up before dinner."

I took a shower and changed into my red outfit(? I really don't know what to call it. Do you know what I mean? The one that Gaara fought Deidara in.) Sara and I ate dinner together then we cleaned up. It was 7:14, to early to retire to our rooms..

"Let's go out for a walk." I suggested. We walked around town enjoying the rush of the people hurrying home, for it soon would be dark. I took Sara to my favorite spot, a sand dune tall enough to look over the whole village. I sat down and pulled her into my lap. My hands rested around her waist as I kissed her neck tenderly.

"It's so beautiful out." She whispered.

"Yeah and tomorrow will be the new moon." I heard her breath catch. "Sara? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just didn't realize how many days had passed."

"Something troubles you about it?"

"No, I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"Yes! I'm sure! Now stop asking."

"Well you don't seem fine. I'm worried about you, that's all."

"I know and I'm sorry."

"It's okay." I nibbled on her neck. She leaned back into me and began to relax. We watched as the stars began to come out and wink at us. She began to sing softly.

"For each child that's born a morning star rises and sings to the universe who we are."

"You sing beautifully." She blushed at my comment.

"Thank you."

"You should sing more often."

"If it brings you happiness, then I will. You should sing too."

"No way."

"Why not?"

"Can't sing. It takes a much purer soul to sing and mean what you sing."

"Hear the song of hope come out in liquid form. Like a whip poor will who did weather through the storm. Always look beyond, good is waiting in the wing. When you find it, come, come and join him now and sing."

"Keep singing." I whispered as I closed my eyes to relax into her sweet voice.

"What should I sing?"

"Anything you want."
"Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you
I want nothing more than to see you there
And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

If only night can hold you where i can see you, my love
Then let me never ever wake again
And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

somehow I know that we cant wake again from this dream
it's not real, but it's ours

Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn"

I sighed and rocked her back and forth. She laughed lightly.

"What?"

"Music tames the beast."

"Hmmm…."

"Sorry to disturb your peace, but it's getting late and we should go home." She stood up and held a hand out to help me up. I pulled myself and brought her closer to me. I kissed her passionately. We walked home together hand in hand.

I'm going back and forth with stories. This one and my vampire story. I need some serious help on the vampire one. Can someone give me an awesome way for someone to become a vampire?? I want it to be interstingly weird and I can't think of anything I really like. Well anyway I hope you might kinda sorta like my writing if you've read this much so far. I only have like 1000000 more chapters left to type.
