A: ON WITH THE STORY!

Gaara's POV! ;)

"Can I get this? Oh, wait! I want this. No! No! This one! This one!" She went stand to stand, store to store excited as could be. Skipping around, practically screaming and singing her head off about the most randomest of things. I had never seen anything like it before.

"I think she's worse than Temari. If that's even possible." Kankuro sighed. "You know how her feminine switch gets turned on with shopping.

"This ones more your color." Temari prompted her. Abby. She's a strange one. She's always so happy and hyper. What surprised me the most about her is that she's so excepting. When we went out to eat... She was sad that I had to leave. Of course, then she didn't know about the monster inside of me. But, even after she found out, she didn't care one bit. She amazes me to no end.

"Ne, Gaara! Are you listening?" Temari shook my shoulder lightly.

"Hm?" I looked over to her, snapped out of my thoughts.

"I said that you and Abby should walk around while Kankuro and I get our stuff. You two are the only ones who don't need anything specific." She prompted and gestured to the short girl a few feet away. I looked over at her to see her looking over at another stand, mesmerized by something.

"Ok." I agreed.

"Abby! Come over here!" Temari yelled, and waved her over.

"What? What?" She asked skipping over, and then jumping up and down.

"We're splitting up. Kankuro and I are going together, and Gaara and you are going together." My sister gave her a sly smile. I honestly didn't want to know what it was about.

"Roger that!" Abby saluted.

So, then Temari and Kankuro went their separate ways, while I was stuck with the over hyperactive girl. Speaking of which... Where is she?

"Abby..."

...

Where could she have gone? I looked around all the stands that were close, and then I started getting agitated. Or maybe... Panicked. I walked for about 5 minutes, until I came by many stands that were placed in a circle, so the people could stand surrounded by merchandise. I mentally sighed out of relief when finally I spotted her. She was peering into shelves that held treats, being protected by glass.

"Here you go, young lady," The man that was in charge of the stand chuckled, offering her a chocolate dipped strawberry.

"Eh? Really?" She asked shyly.

"Of course!"

"Thank you so much!" She took the strawberry and bowed politely. They exchanged a few more words and then she left, going onto the next stand that caught her eye which held jewelry. She seemed pretty oblivious that we're supposed to be together.

I went closer to inspect what she was looking at. I was then right behind her, even though she didn't notice. She was looking at a black heart locket that had rubies outlining it.

I stretched my hand over her shoulder and grabbed the necklace.

"Eh..." She sounded before tilting her head back to see who it was. "Oh. he-llo, Gaa-ra-sen-sei." She said every syllable with a pause. "Isn't it pretty?" She stood straight and turned to face me.

"Yes, it is," I responded truthfully. It was neatly put together, and probably valuable and rare. You don't see many of these around, and it being on an obviously expensive stand, being display proudly was a pretty big hint.

As soon as the owner noticed the necklace off the display hook he almost hyperventilated.

"Oh. My. God. No! No! No! No! No! I knew having it displayed was a bad decisions! Some street rats probably scurried off with it!" He went around frantically looking for the necklace. When he caught sight of it in my hand he growled. "Hey! That's extremely valuable. You can't ju-" His eyes went up to my face as he ranted, and stopped. "Oh! Kazekage-sama! Having you here is a pleasure indeed! Does that necklace interest you? Let me tell you, it's one of our prized possessions. I can guarantee it's one of a kind, and beautifully made. I'll even give you a little discount!"

I inspected it closer, a little amused at how easily his persona changed at seeing who I am. Why would I have a need for something like this? "I was just lookin-"

"Ah! Are you buying it for your girlfriend? She's a cutie alright. Youre a lucky man Kazekage-sama, as are you young lady."

My eyes trailed to Abby, so was holding her red face.

"N-No! We a-aren't like that! Not at all!"

"Aw! No need to be shy! Although, being the Kazekage's girlfriend is quit the role to fill, not to mention the competition. So, I guess it is reasonable to keep it on the down low. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me." The man winked.

"I'm telling you, it's not like tha-" Abby whined childishly.

"So? What do you think, Kazekage-sama?" The man turned to me, leaving Abby to fume.

"Do you want it?" I turned to Abby.

Sudden change To Abby's POV Of Desks!...Yes...Of Desks, Deal With It.

"Stupid dumb sales man person not listening to me. What a butt head. So rude. I'll totally get Steve to kick his butt-... Eh?!" I snapped out of my frustrated mumbling to look up at the sexy redhead before me with wide eyes. "What do you mean? Didn't he say it's really valuable? You shouldn't waste something like that on me!"

No matter how beautifully and incredibly shiny it is!

Yeah! No matter how beautifully and incredibly shi- Hey!

Yes?

I'm trying to have a conversation!

Fine, meanie! Be that way!

"Just think of it as a gift. Sensei to student." He urged with a faint, gentle smile as he put it around my neck. I couldn't help but blush. Gaara-sensei is never this close voluntarily.

"Th-Thank you," I stuttered, as he pulled away. Damn me and my girly ways that happen when...Well something like this!

Holy Shit! Look! Quick!

What? What?

Look at Gaara!

...What about him?

Look very very closely at his face!

No way!

Yes way!

It can't be!

Oh, but it is!

I'm totally mind fucked right now!

Gaara POV

Damn... I hope she can't see it. I don't think this has ever happened to me before in my life. Me. Gaara. The ex murderer of hundreds. The one with a blood thirsty monster in him...Blushing... I just hope it's light enough for her not see...

YAYZ! Abby's POV! Not that Gaara's Isn't cool or anything!...Yeah, I'm just gonna shut up now...

"You guys are such a cute couple!" The owner cooed. Grrrr! How many times do I have to tell him!

5,845,573,735,723,960,633!

That's a lot!

When does the narwhal bacon?

When the time is right!

Noooope!

Ehhh?

Midnight.

And that is when the time is right!

Damn. You just mind fucked yourself.

Wow...I'm badass. Wait! I'm trying to be in shock by the fact that Gaara is blushing!

Yes, that's right. The almighty, neutral Gaara is blushing! Of course it was so faint I had to squint and concentrate really hard-

Which is mad fuckin hard for you.

Shutup! Anyways, I'm really happy that I got this necklace. I've never had anything so pretty and valuable. Woah, wait! Question for inner-me! Inner-me do you read me, over?

Sorry, but I'm not aloud to talk! I was ordered to shut up! ... Over.

permission to speak, over.

Sweet. Ok whats the Q?

Well...Gaara's the one that gave me the necklace and all but...

Uh huh?

Who's picture should I put in it? I mean, it is a locket.

"Ne, How about I take a picture for you two! It is a locket after all! And it would be my pleasure to do it for Kazekage-sama." The owner offered, already getting a camera set up.

You physic, bastard...

Shhhh!

"I'll take the pictures separately. I'll take one of the pretty girl, and then one of the Kazekage-sama. That way you can put a picture on both sides of the locket." He pushed me over in front of a camera. Pushy, pushy person.

CLICK!

Push, Push!

CLICK!

"These are wonderful! Can I see the necklace?" Ok, Ok! Wonderful! It's beautiful!" He admired his handy work, having put the pictures in.

"Ohhh! That's why you made us do that!" I looked at the necklace. Smart owner dude! I was looking down at the necklace on the left of it was me, smiling while looking to the right. And Gaara was on the right, smiling very softly, looking to the left. It was actually really cute. "Looky, looky!" I practically shoved the necklace in Gaara's face.

"Yeah..." Gaara looked down at it with the same gentle smile he had showed to me earlier.

"Uhmm, Gaara?" My voice rang out shyly as I bit my lower lip and looked down. Him looking at me silently, waiting for me to proceed was no help. "Can you put it back on me?"

He nodded, and took the necklace out of my hand. He stood behind me as I lifted my hair to get it out of the way, which was hard because I have a lot of it. Right after he finished putting it on, we heard Temari.

"Hey, guys! We're done!"

"Did you get everything you needed?" Gaara asked the two.

"Yup. I got all my puppet tools, and Temari got some new tools and clothes."

"Abby, that's so cute! It looks like it cost a fortune where did you get it?" Temari gawked at my new locket, gently inspecting it.

"Talking about it's price. No need to pry Kazekage-sama, but you must pay now." The owner said behind us with a small, nervous chuckle.

He turned around and paid, as I talked to Temari about what she bought. Mostly, she just ranted about how annoying Kankuro was and how he refused to go to any "girly" stands. As soon as Gaara walked back towards us I couldn't help but ask, "Was it expensive?"

After a small silence he answered, "Don't worry about it." He began walking, Temari and "Kankuro close behind.

"Eh! That's not fair! I have a right to know!" I pouted, catching up to him.

The rest of the day went by in a flash, and it was soon time for bed.

Hey.

Hola!

Good job today. Your advancing. *Wink Wink*

Eh?

You didn't notice?

What?

You haven't added -sensei to the end of Gaara lately,have you?

I could feel a little heat rise to my face.

S-so?!

Geez, for being me, you're totally dense.

About what? I don't like him like that! You're being a total butt head!

You'll see soon enough. You'll see.

Ewww, I could practically feel you smirk. Yuckyness!

Whatever! Just go to bed.

Hmph. Fine. Night inner-me!
