Chapter 13
SPOV
I stood there after Gaara had left and to be honest I couldn't exactly understand what I was feeling. Every other girl (besides Gaara's fan club girls) would be happy to be away from him, but for some reason…I felt abandoned and lonely. Sure Gaara was a pervert and he was annoying sometimes but, the whole time that I have been here, he has never been more than a few feet away. And if he was away, he wouldn't stay away for more than an hour. I was I suddenly feeling this way?
I mean it's not like I lov-…..
Oh Kami, you have to be kidding me.
I quickly rushed and grabbed my stuff and headed home to get the address of the Neenah person. I had to pick her up and I didn't want to be late.
As soon as I started thinking about the girl Neenah I was suppose to pick up, I felt my anger boil up inside me, but why? I didn't want to see this girl have her hands on Gaara but I had no reason to stop her. As I started thinking about it more and more, I noticed that every time Gaara was with a girl, I got this feeling and usually I acted on it and kicked their ass to where ever was farthest. But why did I get so angry?
I was so deep in thought that I hadn't noticed that I had gotten home until I was standing in front of the kitchen counter and the address was laying there. Start looking at it made me get angry. Why then hell was I getting this way!
I grabbed the address and headed up stairs. I had a few minutes to at least change into my usual medic uniform that my mother gave me. At least it was comfortable enough to take the edge off of my unexplained angry.
As I started to walk to this Neenah's place I couldn't help but start to get angrier and angrier by every street. Where was this feeling of jealously coming from!? I hated Gaara so much! He never thought about other people just himself and his little friend!
But, that wasn't true. As much as I wanted to say all that, it wasn't true. It might not have been very obvious or outgoing but he did care and I could tell. And I cared about him. Whenever there was something wrong, I would find myself going to him instead of Temari or someone else. I could trust him and if I couldn't sleep I felt safe going into his room and going to sleep with him by my side. Had I really fallen in love with Gaara and, not only not noticed it, but lost him before I could even act upon my feelings.
A Cold shiver began to devour me as I walked down the Confer St. to apartment 309, Neenah's apartment.
I tried to calm myself and put on a professional expression as I rang her door bell. "One moment Gaara, I'll be right there!" a flirtatious voice called out from the other side of the door. I sighed heavily and counter back form ten to control my anger. I would be polite for Gaara. He wanted this and…I love him. I love Gaara.
The door began to open then and the woman a presumed was Neenah was saying something but I wasn't paying attention. I was too focused on controlling my anger and not smacking the shit out of this person standing here in front of me. She was a skinny strawberry blonde girl with bright blue eyes and smooth cream colored skin. She was very beautiful, and I could see why Gaara would want her, and not me.
"You're not Gaara," she said suddenly, leaning against the door glaring at me with her hand on her hip. I sighed again, "No I'm not. I'm his personal bodyguard, Sakura. Kazekage-sama has sent me here to pick you up and take you to his house so that you may get dressed. And ready for the ball tonight. He will be there at shortly to pick you and his siblings up."
"Ok," she shouted as she shoved a case, full of makeup no doubt, and a hanging dress bag into my hands. Great, now I was a luggage carrier. "Oh, I really think Gaara is serious about our relationship! I mean, he has to be if he is willing to let me into his home and meet his family," Neenah giggled on her way down the stairs and back on the street heading for Gaara's house. Her voice wasn't annoying at all to be honest, just hearing her talk about Gaara like that made me irritated.
All the way back to the house she went on and on about how Gaara had called her up so suddenly to ask her to become his new receptionist/assistant as well as his date to the ball tonight. He had also told her that he liked her a lot and that he wanted to see more of her. By the time we finally reached the house she had told the same story sixteen times.
We walked into the house seeing Kankuro in the kitchen making a sandwich and the shower upstairs going, guess it was Temari. "Follow me," I said behind me to Neenah as I lead her up the stairs. I had just passed me room on the right and Gaara's on the left and was two steps away from the guest room when I heard her squeal like a pig, "OMG! THIS IS GAARA'S ROOM!!!"
With another heavy sigh, I went into the guest room and dropped her things on the bed. But when I went back into the hall to get Neenah, she was no longer there. I tried to control my anger as I pushed open Gaara's already cracked open bedroom door. Neenah was lying there, in Gaara's bed, where I usual slept whenever I couldn't sleep. I couldn't help but want to grab her by her ankles and pull her off the bed and into the wall, but if I did that I would anger Gaara. He cared for this girl so I had to care too.
"Neenah," I said as calm as possible, "You must get out of this room and go into the guest room to get ready for tonight. Gaara will be here to pick us all up in a few short hours." But Neenah wasn't listening. She stayed where she laid and giggled, "I never knew Gaara's bed was so comfortable and it smelled so nice! Usually when he visits me, it's at my house. But tonight should be different. I wonder how much better the sex will be when we're not so cramped up on my little bed."
My patient was thinning and my anger was slowly starting to take over. I was going to say something but another voice behind me interrupted, "Hey! Look girly get out of my brother's room and get dressed or I'll come in there and get you out myself!" Temari put her hand around my shoulder and gave it a good squeeze as Neenah got out of Gaara's bed and out the room, hopefully into the guest room.
I blushed bright red when Temari whispered in my ear, "Don't worry Sakura, this girl is no competition for you. You'll win Gaara, one way or another!" I looked at her speechless. How did she know? "Sakura stop looking at me like that, please. I already know you and Gaara love each other, hell I think I knew before you two knew yourselves. HAHA," she laughed all the way back to the bathroom before turning on the blow drier.
I just shook my head, smiling as I went into my room and closed the door. It was nice to know I had someone on my side for this. I finally had a moment of peace when I turned on the water in my shower, but before I could even test the water I loud crash rang out through the house. Kami, what now?
I walked out my bathroom and to my door just in time to hear Neenah call out for someone name Pink Body Lady. I presumed she meant me. I quickly walked down the hallway to the guest bedroom when another loud scream was heard, but it wasn't Neenah, just Temari. "Her name is SAKURA! S-A-K-U-R-A! SAKURA!!! And she's not your lap dog so DON'T call her like one!" Temari was really mad, and I was too as soon as I walked into the room and saw that Neenah had, not only started getting dressed, but gotten Gaara's clothes and ruined them with her makeup. The anger inside me started to bubble again as I went and picked up Gaara's cloths off the floor. I must have looked scary or something when I spoke because Temari was starting to back away slowly. "Neenah," I asked in a calm voice with my eyes closed, "Why the hell are Kazekage-sama's clothes on the ground, in your room, with your makeup stained on them?" I have to admit, Neenah covered up her fear good but she couldn't stop shaking, "I don't have to answer to you! You're nothing but a servant! You have no rank and power in this house!"
"Shut up!" boomed I a voice at the door. All three of us looked to see Kankuro there at the door, glaring at someone, Neenah I think. We were all silent as he walked over and draped his arm heavily over my shoulder and shouted, "If anyone in this house doesn't have any power it's you Neenah! Don't talk to Sakura like that or I will personally send you home in your bath robe!"
It was the most I had ever heard Kankuro speak since I arrived here. It was shocking that for one, he would back me up and two, send a GIRL home in nothing but a bath robe without threatening to do anything else.
Neenah nodded and went to the bathroom, and I few moments later, the water in the shower began. I looked up at Kankuro with his arm still draped around my shoulders. He was smiling down at me. Kankuro ruffled up my hair before walking away yelling, "What can I say, I'm protective about my two sisters!"
"Aw, how sweet, Kankuro thinks of you as I little sister! How cute," Temari commented as she walked passed me and out the door.
After that everyone got ready quickly and quietly, without anymore drama.
I was ready before everyone else so I had about an hour to get my weapons set before Gaara arrived. But first, I needed to make a call. Gaara did say I could bring a date.
Grabbing the phone book, I dialed up Nekio and asked him to meet me at the ball. It was official business and I needed help watching over the whole party as well as Gaara. I figured I could have a little fun at the same time.
I only had 45 minutes left until Gaara would be here to pick everyone up. I went to my room and looked over my outfit to see where I could hide a few things.
I wasn't wearing anything special. I usually wore this outfit whenever I had something formal to attend to. I had on a deep blue vest, just like my red medics vest, except that this one hugged my curves a little more. I also had on a black mid length skirt on with slits on both sides that started at my thighs. I still had on my medic boots and gloves but oh well. I attached two weapon harnesses onto the tops of my legs so the skirt would hide them and another one around my back that contained my emergency aid kit. I tied my hair into a high ponytail and let my bangs fall to my face. I heard Gaara's carriage pull up and everyone start to walk out the door. I quickly hid my mouth piece, usually attached around the neck, into my glove and put my ear piece in.
I tried to ignore Gaara as I got into the carriage and sat between Kankuro and Temari. I could feel Gaara's glare on me, no doubt Neenah had already told him everything that had happened and now he was mad at me. I sighed again and looked up just in time to see Gaara and Neenah share a soft, loving kiss. A kiss that I wish Gaara would share with me. I shook myself out of that thought as we arrived at the ball.
I got out before everyone else, checking around to make sure there was no immediate danger. I turned back, nodding, and one by one, everyone gets out. I was about to follow behind Gaara and Neenah, when I tap on my shoulder startled me.
"Hey, Sakura-chan," Nekio said smiling widely at me. I smile back and hooked my arm through his and started ascending the stairs. I looked up to see Gaara looking sadly at me and glaring at Nekio.
With another heavy sigh, I looked back down and continued to up the stairs with Nekio
It was going to be a long night.
Alright thats it for now but another chapter is soon to come! Please review and tell me what you think ^-^
