I never thought I can fall in love yet here I am: a side story (continuation of Nichole's lucky day)

(Gaara's POV)

Nichole said, "When do you want to go out?"

I said, "Tommorow at 7:00"

Nichole said, "Where do you want to meet me?"

I had to think about this one... I am in a different country than I am used too so I said the first thing I had thought of, "Hollywood boulevard right where all the hand and footprints are."

Nichole said, "Okay. Well anyway; Kat, my best friend told me that she went there once and she said her hand fit directly into Hermione Granger's actress' (Emma Watson) hand." "It was weird."

I said, "That is weird..."

That's when every screaming fangirl of Naruto came in to try to fight for the prizes that Nichole had already won: including me.

The fangirls said, "Oh Gaara-Kun!" ^-^ Then they rammed into my sandshield that had already sprung up to stop them with just my thought of Go away.

The fangirls said, "No fair!" "That girl is In There with HIM!"

With doing that I let Nichole to be inside the sandshield with me: oh dear. I didn't think that would be possible.

Nichole said, "Wow... this is the first time anyone other than you got past the sand so this is where you've been all that time hiding from the world."

I said, "Why yes." I like the way her red hair is similar to mine. I like the way she talks. Hell, I like everything about her, period. I know I should be freaking out that she got past my ultimate defense without even trying but it just feels like the way it's supposed to be.

Before I knew it: my fingers were aching to touch hers... I held my hand up for a second then I set it down.

She saw me and said, "It's okay Gaara." then she put her fingertips connecting with mine and then set her palm facing mine.

I felt for the first time in my life another human's gentle physical touch. My arm shot up with signals that someone is there; as a result I have got a tingly pleasant feeling all over my body.

(somewhere in the corners of Gaara's mind)

Shukaku said, "So you finally answered boy."

I said, "What do you want?"

Shukaku said, "What has this fucking Girl done to you?" "You and I used to loads of fun, remember all that blood and havoc we caused?"

I said, "The 'fun' we had is now a thing of the past and this girl; I can tell is special."

Shukaku said, "In more ways than you know."

I said, "You've said that once before... what do you mean?"

Shukaku said, "Let me out and I'll tell you."

I said, "Forget it." Then I kicked him out of my consciousness. While I was back in the real world I was breathing slightly heavier than usual.

Nichole said, "Gaara; are you okay?"

I said, "I'm fine; it's nothing I can't handle." "He's just more talkative today than usual."

*meanwhile outside of Gaara's sandshield*

Naruto said, "Sorry girls; the contest is over and we already have a winner."

The fangirls said, "But it said 'One of the Lucky Winners..."

Naruto said, "No one but the winner had signed up so she had to get Both Prizes."

The fangirls said, "If it Hadn't been for that Neko..."

*meanwhile while Kat is hiding in the hollywood tree she suddenly sneezes*

Naruto said, "Anyway girls the comic-con is over." "Better luck next time."

The fangirls said, "Aww... I wish I had at least been able to get an autograph from him." Then they left.

Naruto said, "Gaara; you can get out of your sandshield now."

I had let it down right when Nichole and I's hands weren't connected anymore.

Naruto said, "Gaara; it's time to go to the hotel."

I said, "Coming." I looked at the girl who had done what I had thought was impossible: she is making me fall in love and said, "Bye Nichole." I wanted to add I like you so much...

Nichole said, "Bye Gaara." "I've got to go... my uncle is going to wonder where I'm at if I don't call him soon." then she turned to leave.

I said, "Nichole..."

Nichole said, "Yes?"

I said, "Be safe."

Nichole said, "I will." Then she left.

Naruto said, "You really like her, huh Gaara?"

I said, "Just shut it." "Before I sand burial your ass."

7:00 one day later at the hollywood hands place...

I just spotted her right in frount of the Harry Potter hands and I walked behind her then said, "Hello."

Nichole said, "Oh hey Gaara." "Are you ready to go?"

I said, "Yes."

Nichole said, "Oh where shall we eat...?"

I hadn't thought of that: I said, "Uhh... how about someplace American?"

Nichole laughed and said, "Hardly anything is dubbed 'American' except hamburgers." "Oh I know this great hamburger joint."

I said, "Let's go then: I'll pay."

At the hamburger joint right after Nichole and I ordered:

I was just staring at her putting her face into my memory waiting for her to speak with that voice of hers.

Nichole said, "Gaara; what do you do in your spare time?"

I didn't expect her to ask that: no one asks me questions ever. I had to think about it... hoping that she doesn't think this as a sissy thing to do I answered honestly, "I cultivate cacti."

Nichole said, "Cool. I have never even seen a cactus in my entire life." "I would like to someday..."

I said, "You could join me one day."

Nichole said, "Do you have any hidden talents Gaara?"

I half smiled and said, "Besides killing people?" I was wondering what her reaction might be.

Nichole said, "Why yes; Sabaku no Gaara." she said it in a teasing tone.

I said, "How can you be so... puzzling?" "You always keep me guessing."

Nichole said, "I make the Great Gaara of the Desert guess." "Hmm... you'll find out soon enough."

Rendon walked in at that second while getting in line to order the food..

Nichole said, "Oh great... it's that asshole again."

That's when I made it my mission to kill Rendon.

I said, "What did he do to you?"

Nichole said, "That asshole has been around forever; he caused my friend Kat to be kicked out of the school and he's been calling her and I names since the day we met him."

I said, "Is that how you got those bruises Nichole?"

Nichole flinched because she had hoped that he didn't notice it. Nichole said, "No. That wasn't Rendon... that was my uncle Logan." "He's an evil son of a bitch."(side note: Nichole doesn't have an evil uncle and his name isn't Logan either... it's a ref to Fable 3 and she has no abusive people in her family)

I decided that I'll kill Logan too.

*My sand subtly slid under the table and wrapped around Rendon's ankle then brought him outside into a dark alley with his hands and feet wrapped up in sand and hanging 10 feet in the air.*

Rendon said, "What the fuck is Happening to me!"

1 hour later... right when we left out of the door of the restaurant

I said, "Hey Nichole do you want to see something?"

Nichole said, "Uhh... sure, Gaara."

I brought her to the alley where Rendon is now freaking out at the sight of people.
He lost his voice a long time ago.

Nichole said, "You shouldn't have!" "For me?" "There is such a thing as Karma!"

I said, "Shall I?"

Nichole said, "Do it already!"

I use my hand to squeeze the life out of him with my sand... 4 seconds later his blood is everywhere.

Nichole said, "Sweet!" "It looks like a gang shooting of some sort." "I'm not surprised if he was a gang member anyway."

I said, "He did seem that type."

1 hour later in frount of Nichole's house:

Nichole said, "Bye Gaara." "When will I see you again?"

I said, "Tommorow same time and place." "This time bring what you want to take to Japan."

Nichole said, "We're running away together?" "My Uncle will never allow it."

I said, "Don't worry about him." *suggestive*

Nichole said, "I understand." Then she went inside while I hear drunken yelling.

'It's lucky that I don't have long to wait..' I thought as I was walking to the passport agency to get Nichole one. She had already gave me a photo of her because she had an extra. That I will use to be her photo, with a top quality fake birth-certificate, and an airplane ticket to make sure that things go smoothly.

10 minutes later I walk out with everything I need to make my plan in motion.

The next day at 7:02... I was at Nichole's house right after I had killed Logan and I looked through Nichole's room to see if she left anything that is important. I see a silver hairbrush on the corner that read: for my beautiful daughter. I took it and then I left for the Hollywood hands.

*back in the present*
(Kat's POV)
Nichole said, "You guys all know the rest!"

Gaara said, "We went to the airport and got here smoothly."

I said, "That's a terribly romantic story!"

Nichole said, "It still is."
