Part 42
Everyone left after a couple of hours. They'd had a fun evening even though Neji and Gaara glared at one another every chance they got. Kankuro tried getting Gaara to tell him what was wrong with RUE the puppet. Neji even tried to stay the night. But Hinata reminded him awkwardly about a training session he had with her father.
Though not everyone left. Gaara stayed. She did want him too after all.
After everyone else was gone Rue turned to him sharply.
"Was that really necessary?"
"What?"
"You kept giving Neji the evil eye, like some kind of territorial dog."
"Was I?" Gaara asked, feigning innocence.
"Yes you were. Why?'
Gaara only shrugged, looking her over slowly.
That was enough to get Rue blushing. Which in turn made him smile.
"Is it okay if I used the shower? He asked.
Rue nodded, not really paying that much attention as she tried to calm her blush.
After she calmed down she went to the kitchen and made herself some toast with jam on it.
"Hm. Should I make Gaara something?" She pondered softly.
Setting her food on the table, she went to the bathroom. The sound of water running met her ears and she took a deep breath.
"Gaara?" She asked and knocked on the door
As she did the door opened a crack. Gaara must not have closed the door all the way.
"Hm?" She heard him respond over the shower.
"Is there anything you wanted for -" She started asking only to cut herself off after pushing the door open more so he could hear her better.
An action she some what regretted afterwards as Gaara was undressing himself. His shirt lay on the floor and his pants were coming off. He turned and looked at her.
Rue's eyes widened and a dark blush covered both of their faces.
"Um... Nevermind." Rue said quickly as she backed up. Closing the door in front of her.
Then I small smile crept onto her face.
"I told you I wouldn't screech!" She called to him as she went back the the kitchen to eat.
Also!
Happy Holidays everyone
