Well basically, this kinda sucks, you should seriously put this through a
rewrite because it needs to be fleshed out more. I love the storyline, but it
could seriously be better, and all of the grammar and spelling mistakes are
just about killing me! And I shame myself saying this, but please update
soon...no matter how badly written this story is... you still have me hooked,
and I also must say, that lemon a few chapters ago SUCKED! It was Rape dammit!
And not even good!

-The extremely aggravated and now headache ridden, XxBloodyRiverxX

((This story is basically written straight from my mind to the internet and I've gone through the spell-check thing so at least I know that I need to work on the grammar and spelling bits on my own. I'm sorry that it's not appealing to you, my writing, but at least I have you hooked so you must not've lost faith in me yet. As for the lemon-rape, you're right. It did suck but I've never had sex so if anybody has any ideas on how to make a good lemon (or lemon-rape), please let me know. This is why I put my stories on this site. It's not just about the "good job" and "I love this story" reviews. It's also about the critique that'll help you become a better writer. Thanks for your review!))

((Okay well... ON WITH THE CHAPTER!!!))

Chapter 34: Temari's Outburst

Genma was searching for the run-away Chi. After his comment, she'd left him in a fit of frustration. 'Trying to make her fall in love with me is proving more difficult than it's probably worth...' he thought spotting a familiar tuff of red hair on the roof.

When he looked up, he saw Gaara, in the flesh, looking for something. Probably Chikage. But Genma was sure that there was nothing to worry about. In his opinion, he hadn't been gone for as long as he needed. There was no way he could have gotten to the point where he was in love with the girl. And since Genma was officially engaged to Chikage-- not that he'd told her yet-- there was NO WAY he could LOSE. "Looking for something?" he called up with a grin.

"Where is she, you piece of filth?" Gaara asked, not even bothering to look at him. Obviously, he figured that the boy was no longer a threat to him in the game of love.

"Ran off when I told her about our engagement. Said that she had to get over you first." Half truth... half lie.

And Gaara finally looked at him, death in his aura. "Take that back. You are not engaged. She is mine."

"I've got papers to prove it. Seems your sister found out about something you did and decided to give Chikage to me. But it's for the best, you know. She deserves better-- hey, where're you going?"

Gaara turned his back on Genma, mumbling, "I'm going to go get rid of a blond hag..." Then he vanished in a swirl of blood-ridden sand.

Temari was cooking-- scratch that, TRYING not to BURN anything. She figured that now that she was done with her duties, she could try cooking again. And she hadn't burned anything yet. Kankuro wasn't there so maybe she could pass it off as take out food and make him eat it. 'And when he does, I'll tell him that I made it and will cook for them from now on without ANY complaints!' she thought, laughing in evil-happiness.

Suddenly, the scent of blood drifted to her nose and she felt itchy-scratchy sand wrapping itself around her body. "G-G-GARRA! DON'T!!" she yelled, instantly growing afraid.

"What did you do?" Cold fury was all that was in his voice.

"Huh?"

"Chikage is ENGAGED to that slimy punk?! He said that you had something to do with it, now TELL me or I WILL destroy EVERYTHING just to keep HER from HIM!"

Temari felt as though she couldn't breath. "G-Gaara... don't squeeze me... too tight..."

"Give me one good reason why I should let you live?"

"Because it was for your own good! If they found out that you--" She couldn't say it. If anyone had told her that Gaara had gotten lucky, she would have asked for pictures and a sworn statement from the girl-- or boy-- with whom he was rumored to have "done it". And even then, she would have still doubted it. But her own findings were enough to convince her.

"Chikage is mine... tell that bastard to stay away from here or else."

"I can't! You'll get blamed for taking... her... v-v-v--- gah, why couldn't you keep it in your pants!?"

He stood his ground, his glare now widened. "Excuse me?"

"It's obvious that you totally raped her, Gaara! Your sheets are covered in... stuff...!"

He looked away. "Stop yelling. She gave me the okay because she "loves" me."

"Well, she won't be in "love" with you for long! And then, you'll be off the hook when he takes her. I'm guessing that it was only once that you took her like... that... so she'll still feel really tight. Hope that he doesn't know the difference between a virgin and a second-timer."

Gaara just dropped her on the floor and disappeared in a puff of sand.

"... and hope that you finally decide to let that girl love you... and you her..." Temari whispered softly, looking at the floor. Yes, she was ashamed of her brother. He'd never gone that far, never been that "evil". Now that he was trying to be good, he goes and does something that stupid? And how was it NOT obvious that she was TOTALLY in love with him? Did he really think that that was just a fabrication of her mind? If so, it must be so "made-up" that Temari thought it was real.

No matter how much of an asshole Gaara was acting like, she knew that he deserved someone who could take all of him, good and bad. Everyone deserved that.

((Okay, thanks to XxBloodyRiverxX's comment, I realized that I did not portray the sanctity of both a woman's first time and a couple's first time appropriately. I've been stuck on this whole horror and trauma-drama genre for this entire story... but that was because my last Gaara story had him OOC, if even a little. So I will rewrite this story and claim this one as discontinued. I will not delete this one so it can hopefully serve as a reminder as to not make the same mistake again but I will start over with a remake that will hopefully make everyone happy. I will also formally apologize to XxBloodyRiverxX because the very fact that his/her comment has bothered me for so long must mean that the words in that comment were right. I'm sorry and I hope that the remake will not give you a headache again *huggles XxBloodyRiverxX*))
