So my authors note is at the bottom this time so get along with the reading!
The trip back was uneventful, by that I mean, Gaara just sat next to me and just sat there. Gahh! He was so frustrating, and in a pathetic attempt to get him to hold my hand I left it in the middle of the seat like a middle schooler, but he didn't get the memo. We had arrived back to find the streets bursting full people. It was main trading time and a shipment of foods that we can't grow here came from the Leaf Village. People stopped and stared at Gaara, but then all the girls around our age, crowded up to Gaara. Fangirls. I was never one of the crazy girls who followed him around, but I saw five girls I knew. I stood a good distance behind him, not wanting to run over by the vicious girls. I rolled my eyes and watched as he tried to pry their fingers off him, but when he touched the girls they went even crazier. He looked annoyed, and that was saying something because he never showed emotion, but glancing around it seemed like I was the only one who could see his faint annoyance by the changes of his face, the slight clinch of his jaw and the look in his eyes, those perfect sea foam green eyes. I could tell when the idea hit his mind, he struggled over towards me, through the ocean of girls and reached out and grabbed my hand, and as soon as we made contact I could feel the dagger stares piercing me from every side. One girl got an idea, I had recognized her from before and knew her, her name was Seira. Seira was beautiful, long brown hair with tints of red, curvaceous body, and pale blue eyes. She remembered me and took that as her chance to get with Gaara.
"Amaya, is that you? Wow, you must have gone up on the food chain to hang out with the Kazekage. Feel free to take me up next time." Her tone was sickly sweet and that was annoying.
"Why should I, because if I remember correctly the reason you know me is because you used to make fun of how poor my mother and I was. So you and all you other fangirls can fuck off!" I snapped at the now shocked girl. She humphed and spun around on her heels and ran off. He raised a slender eyebrow in my direction, a look that said, 'wow did you really say?'
Feeling taller I lead Gaara away from the girls hand in hand. We entered the Kazekage building and a smile brightened my face when I faced him and he looked completely dumbstruck, I giggled at the man who stood before me, so drastically changed from when I first met him. Still holding his hand, I led the red head upstairs. As we reached the hallway that our bedrooms was on I took the chance to see if he would let me in his room. He got that memo.
Taking the lead he led me into the bedroom. It made my bedroom look like a mosquito next to an elephant. The gold and auburn hues went well with Gaara, and I'm sure the bed was twice the size of king bed! Walls were lined with shelves of books and records, and like me he had a large gramophone. I left him watching me and went to the records collection and picked out one I liked.
I played it and the soft music came out as I swayed around the room to the song. I stopped at Gaara, put his hands on my waist and with my arms wrapped around his shoulders we swayed around the room.
After the song we lay on his bed and read. I enjoyed reading with him, because I layed across the bed with my head on his chest and him laying against the pillows. We looked like a capital L. I eventually got stiff and stood to stretch. He didn't look up from his book, but he pulled my back down and rested my head back on his chest. At lunch we joined the rest of the household in the kitchen.
"How was the skiing?" My mother inquired
"I learned I am a horrible skier!" I proclaimed to my mother. Temari frowned.
"Gaara said you weren't that bad, and from what I saw you looked like you were starting to get the hang of it towards the end!" She argued, I rolled my eyes earning a laugh from the table, including a small chuckle from Gaara. We then went our separate ways for he had a meeting to attend and I was to go to the animal shelter with Temari
When I arrived home I was covered in fur and a big smile across my face. I played with the lion cub rescued from the desert, he had been found wandering the streets and was taken in by the shelter. The poor thing was harmless, but had been declawed and now couldn't be let back in the wild due to the fact he had no claws to hunt with. Nobody bothered giving him a name, for the were planning on putting him down it two days time. I begged Temari, but she said that she would talk to Gaara.
I went straight to dinner, hoping to see Gaara but the cook said he had already eaten. After eating a small meal I went to my to grief for the small big cat. I snuck into Gaara's room and grabbed a record of his shelves and closed our connecting door to the empty, surprised of the fact it was unlocked. I put on a loud song with a good rhythm and the lyrics wasn't just random words.
I never heard him enter. He was unknown until he touched my back and I quickly turned to him.
"Hi." I said breathlessly.
"Follow me!" His voice was full of excitement, so I obeyed and quickly walked behind his fast pace. He led me outside to where the sun was setting and a small box sat. The box was wrapped with striped paper and and had holes poked in the top. Curiously I tore away the paper and opened the box. I found myself face to face with the lion cub.
"Temari told me you were especially attached to this little one!" He seemed anxious to hear her response.
"Kazuo, his name is Kazuo, and it is perfect!" Tears of joy leaked from my eyes as I picked up my cub. I turned to him.
"Thank you" I whispered, holding Kazuo between us I stood on my tip toes and kissed him. A sweet kiss, right on the lips. At first he seemed lost then his lips responded with mine.
I have had a horrible week so far. First my twin sister got in trouble for writing on a desk and the Dean of Discipline, who is a total bitch, was like "the drawing was signed with your sister's name, but I think it could have been you because you might have been trying to get her in trouble and I was so pissed, especially when said sister asked me to take the blame, huh no! Anyway I am happy I got to write because it makes me less likely hurt somebody! So again please review and see you next time! And to all those who read the authors note I need something to call y'all, like people will sometimes say stuff like "goodbye my lovelies" and I want something to call y'all so suggestions? Well thanks again and please review!
By the way the first song mentioned is "When Darkness Comes" by Colbie Caillat and the second is "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" by Cage the Elephant!
