Theme: Waiting
Kagome sighed as looked at the dinner she had prepared. He was late again. She stood, grabbing her coat as she moved to leave his apartment.
She paused and looked back, then walked over to the table. Grabbing a napkin and pen, she wrote slowly, as if it would buy her more time to wait. Just in case.
Goodbye.
She turned, leaving the food where it was, the napkin placed right in front of the chocolate dipped strawberries. She walked quickly, leaving his apartment with a hint of sadness blanketed with a thick layer of anger.
She knew where he was, too. There was a barbeque place just a few blocks a way.
He went there to pick up girls.
It's not that he didn't like being with Kagome, she was delightful. However, he was getting nowhere fast with her, and he had plenty of women wanting to be with the Kazekage's brother.
Especially since everyone knew the Kazekage was not interested in a relationship.
Kagome shook her head and turned the corner—right into said Kazekage. "Gomen." She murmured, turning to move around him.
"Weren't you suppose to be celebrating?" He asked and Kagome paused.
"Kankuro...didn't show up." She said, smiling at him. "There's nothing left to celebrate."
Gaara nodded. "When you're ready...I'll be waiting." He said and Kagome blinked, turning to him, however he was already walking away. Her face slowly began to burn.
Had he been waiting...for the past 3 years?
