Lithium
Chapter 18
--------
She could have sword she felt someone shaking the hell out of her, but right now… she didn't care. She wanted to stay asleep for as long as she possibly could. She felt as though she was floating; and she loved the feeling. Distant sounds of someone talking registered into her senses, but she really couldn't tell who was saying them.
"-C.P.R!"
…C.P.R? Why would there be a need for that? She's just sleeping, right? She could hear people and felt fine other than the floating feeling… Wait. If there was a need for that… then this 'floating' feeling was her… dying? She wasn't breathing?
Oh, God. She wanted to panic, but she couldn't, only let her silent screams echo in her head. She couldn't see anything due to her eyes being closed and the fact she was practically dead.'
This is a great way of dying…' A picture of Gaara flashed through her mind quickly, and she only had a second to memorized his face before something else caught her attention. Someone was holding her nose, tilting her head up and breathing into her mouth. 'Please let it be a really hot person and not a hobo…'
A picture of Gaara flashed through her mind quickly, and she only had a second to memorized his face before something else caught her attention. Someone was holding her nose, tilting her head up and breathing into her mouth."Tsuyahra, Wake up!"
Eyes snapping open quickly she tried to gasp for breath arms reaching out to grab onto the nearest thing before she started to cough heavily, and move to the side to let all the air that was forced into her esophagus reach her stomach and come back up, along with anything and everything she had eaten and drank today. It really wasn't a pretty sight, but at least she was breathing once again.
Taking in deep shuddering breath's she slowly let her body calm down before turning around and looking at whoever saved her… and it wasn't who she expected.
"K-Kankuro?" He seemed scared, or at least worried, but she was pried away from he before someone decided to choke the living hell out of her. Using her hands she tried to get her hands between her neck and Kayla's arms. It took a minute but she managed and broke the contact, gasping for air.
"Are you trying to kill me!? I don't need CPR again, god damn…" She mumbled more curses under her breath while she rubbed her neck. Hearing beeping, she looked at Kankuro who was apparently calling someone.
"Well, Gaara's not really… happy. He's quite pissed off." Kankuro slowly hung the phone up, sticking his pinky into his ear and twisting it.
"Why would he be pissed…? I didn't do anything."
"Yahra-chan, you've been missing for more than seven hours. What the hell happened?" Kayla sat down next to Tsuyahra and took out a cloth to clean the dry blood on the side of her head.
"Seven hours?! Oh my God. How much crap do I have to throw myself in?" She sighed softly, wincing as Kayla rubbed over the wound that caused her to bleed profusely earlier. "I had been kidnapped… Well, some people had thrown me into a van, and I managed to get out by kicking someone hard, and jumping out of the car… I tried to call both of you, but no, no one answered."
"I heard some where's if you have a head wound you shouldn't sleep for two hours." Kankuro piped up, trying to sound smart.
"Yeah, I know. I had wandered for more than an hour and a half before I gave up and came here. I'm surprised I'm not completely soaked anymore…"
The sound of a car door slamming and footsteps from behind Tsuyahra caused her to turn around and see who it was. She smiled lightly, but the look on his face told her that he wasn't happy… and here she thought Kankuro was kidding… somewhat.
"Tsuyahra…" She visibly flinched at the coldness in his voice. She lowered her eyes and slowly stood up, wiping at the dry blood on her face, feeling as it crumpled against her fingers and fall to the ground. She felt Gaara grab her arm and pull her towards him and started to walk.
"G-Gaara! What are you doing!?" Kayla took a step forwards, only to have Kankuro stop her with his hand and shake his head at her. "So help me God, if you hurt her Gaara-!"
"Kayla, stop." Kankuro cut her off, eyeing her warily.
"…Fine…" Kayla sighed and started to fidget with her fingers, worried for her Sister..
"G-Gaara, stop, your hurting my arm." Her response was a glare and the opening of a door before he pushed her inside the car and onto the backseat. When she was inside, he slammed the door and go into the drivers seat.
To say the least, the drive was very uncomfortable. She could practically feel the anger radiating off him in waves, and she knew it was her fault. Sighing lightly, she just looked down at her hands and started to clean the dirt and such out of her fingernails.
------------
When they arrived at the house, no words were exchanged and she went and got changed and cleaned up. After finishing her shower, she quickly towel dried her hair and threw on a red robe and walked out of the bathroom, taking a quick glance at the clock and seeing that it was almost six in the morning. Sighing, she rubbed her forehead and walked into the bedroom only to see Gaara sitting on the edge with his elbows on his knee's.
She didn't know what to do, so she just stood there in the doorway looking at him. He stayed like that for what seemed like hours, was only minutes.
"I thought I lost you, Tsuyahra." His voice was amazingly calm. As if he was scared. She didn't speak though, fearing that he might lash out at her.
"You vanished… I didn't know where you went when I found out you weren't at Neji's…" He paused, raising his head to look at her, jade eyes showing the emotions he was feeling. "I thought something bad had happened…"
"Gaara…" She watched him stand up and move towards her, coming to a stop inches away from her. "I…I tried to call. I did, re--mmph." She found herself pined to the wall behind her with lips pressed against hers. She couldn't help but melt into him, pressing her hands against his chest as he pried open her mouth and shoved his tongue into her mouth, seemingly trying to memorize her mouth as best as he could before she decided to tackle his tongue.
It went on, neither of them breaking until they both needed air. Pulling apart They were both panting, staring at each other as if it was their last. Tsuyahra smiled lightly, wrapping her arms around his chest and hugged him tightly. Slowly, she felt Gaara's arms circle her and hug her tightly, his chin resting on the top of her head.
"I'm sorry for worrying you, Gaara."
"I'm… sorry for hurting you earlier…" She felt her shake her head.
"No… you were worried. Acting possessive, I know."
"I'm not possessive."
Tsuyahra pulled her head away from her chest and looked at him with the 'yeah right' look. She smiled and shook her head, laughing lightly.
"Tsuyahra…. Marry me."
It was completely sudden, so blunt and off guard she openly gaped at him, eyes wide as saucers. She'd never thought she'd actually be asked to… marry someone. She could tell he was getting nervous and she nodded, too speechless to say anything.
Gaara smiled lightly, as best as he could do and embraced her tightly. She'd make the best wife… and possibly a good mother too, if he played his cards right….
