A-chan: Now you get to see where that cliffhanger goes :D
Hidan: Why the fuck would you put a shitty cliffhanger anyways?
A-chan: Because of the lovely suspense that befalls my readers! It's TOTALLY nesassary. I don't wanna be a boring author!
Hidan: Bitch, you already are.
A-chan: Hidan, your so mean! I don't like you anymore!
Hidan: Hah! Since when have you liked me at all
A-chan: ...*Cocks head to the side with confussed look*...I've always liked you.
Hidan: *Blushes* W-Whatever! Just get on with your gay story!
A-chan: Fine fine. Please enjoy and remember, A-chan does not own any characters, settings, items, etc from the anime/manga, Naruto! She does, however, own Abby and Sarah, other original characters, and anything else that she came up with. Please enjoy and review :)
"U-Ummm...Gaara-sensei..." I chocked out.
"Aa?"
"I-I..."
"Woah! Are you guys ok?" I jumped as soon as I had heard Kankuro shout from below the stairs, and lo and behold, there he was.
Gaara-sensei tensed and in a flash got off of me, helped me up, and let the sand disappear. "Yes. I'll walk her the rest of the way to her room."
What the hell was I just about to say? I don't even know! Ok, ok. Let's be rational here...Wait...I'm never rational. Ok let's be irrational here...AHHHHHH!
The rest of the walk to my room was probably the most awkward thing I have ever had to endure. I looked down, trying to think over what to say to him that wouldn't make this whole catastrophe worse. Gaara just walked, looking straight ahead.
"U-Um..."
"Be more careful." Gaara-sensei said right as we got to my room, and looked away.
"Hey, I didn't do anything wrong! I was...well kinda still am...Sleepy and intoxa-poxa-ugh! Whatever! Drunk! Anyways, thank you... For not letting me fall before."
"Well, you wouldn't be able to train if you were hurt, now would you?" He stated coldly, right before he took his leave.
I blinked a couple times before turning around into my room. I let my back slide down the door, crouched down, and tilted my head back until it hit the door. I thought it was kind of fun, so kept doing it until my head hurt. I looked around the room bored, and clueless of what to do. So, I proceeded to jumping on my bed for a while until doing the big finale; belly flopping. The alcohol started to wear off, making me feel drowsy. I thought about Gaara-sensei, and how he had given me the cold shoulder. I looked down, as I felt my heart sink a little. Right when I thought we were getting closer, in a flash he was distant.
I woke up the next morning to be on the floor by my bed, tangled in my covers. I rubbed my stinging eyes, and winced. I never had a hangover before, but I am convinced never to never get another again. Oh, how I hate evidence of dreams about my home, and the alcohol last night.
I thought over everything that had happened last night, though was jolted out of my daze by light raps on my door.
I quickly went over to my vanity mirror to look into the face of someone who had messy hair and puffy red eyes. I quickly brushed through my hair, though could do nothing about my eyes until later.
I was surprised when I opened the door to see Temari there for a change. Usually it's Kankuro that was sent to fetch me. Weird.
"Oh my gosh, Abby, what happened?" Temari asked after taking one look at my appearance.
"Nothing that I want to talk about right now. But, can I borrow some makeup. Concealer or foundation?"
"Well, that's not really my department," she replied with a slight grimace, "But stay here. Im sure I can find something." It didn't take her too long before she returned with some makeup."Here you go. Just put it back on my dresser before you come down for breakfast."
"Thank you." I gave her a pathetic smile which was returned with one of pity.
After she left I went to work with splashing cold water on my face and applying the makeup around and under my eyes. When I was done the finished product wasn't as good as I had hoped, but good enough. I walked down to Temari's room which was a good distance from mine. I opened the unlock door and stepped in, closing it behind me. It was a little similar to mine except had different wallpaper and was decorated more thoroughly. I spotted her dresser and was about to set the makeup on it before I heard the door open.
"Temari, I need to talk to you. I-"
I quickly turned around to see Gaara staring back at me.
"I'm sorry, Sensei," I huffed, my voice sounding colder than I intended, "but Temari's already downstairs."
He looked a little surprised by my tone, but none-the-less his expression turned back to neutral within a second. "Thank you." He turned around and left.
...What the hell was that? That was not Abby! Who am I? Ok, maybe I am Abby, but I don't usually act like that. My lips which usually held a bright smile turned into a hard line, then just a quickly turned into a pathetic smile.
What am I thinking? It can't be because of his coldness lat night?...Right? Ugh! I'm acting as If I like him or something...Naah! That can't be it.
Of course it can, baka!
Woah. Who are you?
Your inner-Abby.
What?! Wait... That's kind of cool! Imma beast!
Hellz yah you are! A beast who is totally falling for the Kazekage! Get your act together, yo.
Hold on there bucko! Since when was it established that I was falling for Gaara-sensei?
Dude! Look at yourself! You're a total wreck just because he gave you a little bit of the cold shoulder. The Abby I knew wouldn't even care if there was a scary hobo in front of her begging for money!
I remember that! That was so fun! He was my first friend. Good times, good times.
...I'm scared for your future
Me too...
Anyways, just act like your usual self. So what if Gaara did that? Just show him that you don't care, and that'll give him a reason to not do it again.
Ohhhhh. Your smart. It's no wonder you're me. Woah! Wait! I'm not a total mess, nor do I like Gaara-Sensei like that. Sure, maybe he's becoming more of an important person to me, but not like that...
Suuuureeee he's not... You'll see soon enough.
Ok! I'm gonna be the same old fantabulous Abby that I always am!
...Well let's just say I didn't have that much courage when I actually got down to the dining room and everything was as awkward as last night. Not even Kankuro thought of spewing one of his signature, stupid jokes. Stupid inner me, giving me stupid ideas.
Bakaaaaaaa-chan~
Hey, If you're me, aren't you calling yourself a baka then?
No.
I'm confuzzled...
As always.
What do you want?
Act like your own stupid self our nothing will change!
It's harder than you think!
Well, you need to at least TRY!
"U-Uhmm!" I gulped as everyone turned their attention to me. "I-I was wondering if you wanted go shopping with me later Temari. I thought your room looked cool and all since it was decorated and I want to get some bed sheets and curtains too."
"Sure!" She gave me a small smirk, seeming happy that I broke the silence. "Why don't you guys come to?" She turned to her siblings. "Didn't you guys say you needed to get some stuff and you don't have any duties today?"
I couldn't help but stifle a giggle at the 'duties' part, but also tense up at the 'Gaara' part.
"Yeah, yeah." We waved a dismissing hand to Temari which she glared at. He then turned to Gaara, and encouraged, "I need to get more puppet supplies, and you don't have anything to do todays anyways. Why don't you tag along?"
"Fine." Gaara nodded once. He didn't seem either please or annoyed at the suggestion of a small outing.
"Ok let's go then." Kankuro said as he and Gaara-sensei started getting up from their seats.
"WAIT!"
"What?"
"We have to get ready! Give us like, 10 mins." Temari huffed, she grabbed my wrist and dragged me up the stairs to my room.
"Girls." Kankuro sighed, and shook his head.
Temari sat me down on my vanity bench and went to work with some makeup. A tiny bit of cover up, eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss.
"I thought you said this wasn't your department," I questioned.
"It isn't, and hold still! What's so bad in trying it?" She murmured, a soft, embarrassed tinting her cheeks.
When she was done she let me look in the mirror.
"Wow! I look so cute! Not like a clown at all!" I giggled.
"I'm not that bad! Ugh, anyways, let's go!"
When I went back down stairs Kankuro whistled getting him a slap from Temari. Blushing to say, Gaara kept staring at me. I can only imagine what this trip is gonna be like. I HOPE WE BUY PANCAKE MIX!
Be excited for the next Ch. yet? One can only imagine all the trouble Abby's gonna get her self into at the market. Not to mention all possible scenes with her Gaara *Suggestively moves eyebrows up and down* Anyways, PLEASE REVIEW!
