-Saya-

I pulled on a red tank top and a pair of denim shorts before heading downstairs. Everyone else was already up and they were seated around the living room.

"Morning guys."

I said and they all greeted me without turning away from the T.V. I sighed and shook my head as I made my way into the kitchen. I grabbed an apple from the bowl in the fridge and hopped up onto the counter, swinging my legs as I bit into my apple. The door pushed open and Gaara walked into the kitchen. I blushed as soon as I saw him and looked away. We'd spent the majority of the night making out, no words were said between us until the others had started coming up the stairs. Then he'd kissed me one last time, said goodnight, then left my room. Now, I didn't know how to react around him. I wanted to smile at him and say goodmorning, then go up to him and hug him, but I wasn't sure if that was out of line or no. So I just stayed seated on my spot on the counter and continued to eat my apple while looking anywhere but at Gaara.

"What? No good morning?"

He asked and I turned to look at him only to gasp as I saw him standing right infront of me. I stopped swinging my legs so I wouldn't hit him and he moved closer, standing between my legs.

"G-Good morning."

I said with a blush and he smirked at me.

"You don't need to be so embarrassed."

He said as he leaned in close and rest his forehead against mine. I stared into his eyes and tried to see what he was thinking, but as usual, he was hard to read.

"Just act the way you want, nothing more, nothing less."

He said before he turned and took a bite out of my apple and stepped back.

"Hey! That was mine!"

I shouted at him and he simply smirked at me. I glared at him, but then smiled as I realized Gaara had helped me get over my unease, just like he had before.

"And? What are you going to do about it?"

He asked and I playfully growled at him before launching myself from the counter at him. I tackled him to the floor and he instantly rolled us over so that he was hovering over me. He smirked down at me and I glared up at him before kissing him on the cheek making him freeze. I used that moment to flip us over and straddle his waist to pin him down. I took another bite out of my apple that I still had in my hand while he glared up at me.

"That wasn't fair doll."

He said and I smirked down at him as I swallowed my bit of apple.

"All's fair in love and war babe."

I said before leaning down and kissing him to make up for it. Apparently I was forgiven because his arms wrapped around my waist pulling me closer to him and his tongue found its way inside my mouth again.

-Gaara-

I couldn't help but smile as I kissed Saya. Her mouth tasted like the green apple she had been eating. I couldn't believe I was actually kissing her after so long, and she was kissing me back. She'd put me through so much and we'd fought over the stupidest of things. I'd learned of her past and she opened up to us. We picked and played, and it took her forever to finally figure out I liked her-albeit it took me a while to figure out I liked her too-but there was no denying it anymore and we had all summer to enjoy our new relationship.

I broke the kiss to let her breathe and stared up at her. She was blushing and I smiled up at her before moving to sit up. She stood up and I followed shortly after. She moved and sat back up on the counter as I walked over to the fridge and grabbed the cookie jar from ontop of it. I reached in and pulled out a chocolate chip cookie and happily started to eat it as I leaned against the wall next to Saya.

"Haha, I never would have pegged you for a cookie lover."

She said with a giggle and I looked at her just as she threw away her apple and turned to look at me. I simply took another bite from my cookie.

"What was that sound earlier?"

Sheera asked as she and the others walked into the kitchen. They all sat around the dining room table and Saya and I glanced at them before glancing at each other.

"Saya tripped and almost fell."

I said simply as I finished the last of my chocolate chip cookie and started debating on whether or not I wanted to get another one.

"It wasn't my fault you came out of nowhere and surprised me."

Saya said, playing along with my lie. It wasn't that I wanted to hide our relationship, quite the opposite. I didn't care who knew, but Itachi had become rather protective of Saya, Star, and Sheera. He'd given Deidara hell for accidentally leaving a bruise on Star's arm, and I personally didn't want to hear him bitch at me to never hurt Saya. That and Saya's sisters were downright scary when they wanted to be.

"Okay you two."

Temari said wearily and we just smirked at each other before turning back to look at the others.

"So what do you guys wanna do today?"

Hinata asked and everyone was silent as they thought about it.

"We could always go to the boardwalk."

Temari suggested and everyone looked at her.

"What's so special about the boardwalk?"

Naruto asked sounding bored and I moved over closer to Saya.

"They've got movies and shops and an arcade."

Temari said and I heard Saya squeal at the word arcade and I looked at her surprised to see her forest green eyes were wide with excitement.

"I wanna go!"

She yelled and everyone other than her sisters stared at her in shock.

"Okay, we can go now if you want-"

Temari started to say and Saya suddenly hopped off the counter, ran over to my sister, grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the room. I stared after them in shock.

"I take it Saya likes arcades?"

I asked Sheera and Star without looking at them and they both laughed.

"More than she likes apples."

They said in unison and I couldn't help but smile before we all followed after Saya and my sister.

-Sheera-

We walked into the arcade and I looked around for my sister.

"Look, there she is."

TenTen said and I looked to see her pointing at a particular blonde standing next to the only person with blue and purple hair in the entire arcade. I shook my head as I saw them playing Dance Dance Revolution 2. We made our way over to them just as the song ended and Temari practically fell to the floor, but Shikamaru caught her.

"Aww come on! There's still another two songs."

Saya whined and Temari groaned.

"Sorry Tem, I should have warned you about Saya's addiction to arcades. She loves them."

I said with a laugh and Temari sent me a half hearted glare since she was too tired to do it full force.

"Come on."

Shikamaru said before picking Temari up and carrying her bridal style to a set of tables and set her down to rest. I smiled when I saw how red Temari's face was, and it wasn't from the game she'd played with my sister.

"Star! Get your pink haired explosion loving ass up here and dance with me."

Saya said and I heard Star laugh at her before she did as Saya said. I noticed Naruto and the others had moved off to other parts of the arcade and only me and Gaara were still standing behind my two sisters. I glanced at him and was shocked to see the way he was looking at Saya. Normally I could see how he felt for my sister in his sky blue eyes, but he tried to keep them hidden. But now, I could clearly see it and he looked happy instead of sad like he usually did. That's when it hit me and I couldn't help but smile.

It was about damn time.

I thought as I turned and watched my sisters start the next song.

"You better treat her right Gaara."

I said casually to him while keeping my eyes trained on my younger sisters and felt him tense beside me.

"I'm glad you two finally hooked up, but I swear to you, if you hurt her in any way I will find you no matter where you are and I will hurt you."

I said turning to look at him and saw his eyes take on a serious look.

"I won't hurt her."

He said and I smiled at him.

"Good."

I said before turning back to look at my sisters.

"Sheera! Get up here!"

Saya and Star shouted at the same time and I sighed at them both before going up and joining them.

-Gaara-

I watched as Star and Saya started to dance to the song playing from the game. I'd never really seen Saya dance this way. I'd only seen her slow dance, and despite how good she looked doing that, she looked a thousand times better dancing like she was now.

"You better treat her right Gaara."

Sheera suddenly said and I tensed.

How the hell did she know?

I wondered and she continued.

"I'm glad you two finally hooked up, but I swear to you, if you hurt her in any way I will find you no matter where you are and I will hurt you."

She said turning to look at me and I looked at her seriously.

"I won't hurt her."

I'd never hurt her.

I thought to myself and she smiled at me.

"Good."

She said before turning to look at her sisters.

"Sheera! Get up here!"

Saya and Star shouted in unison and I heard Sheera sigh before joining them. I noticed they had attracted a crowd, but nothing too big. When the song ended Sheera stepped off and said she was gonna go find Itachi. Star came over to me and stared up at me intently.

"Wha-"

I started to ask, but she cut me off.

"I may be small and seem like I can't do much, but I promise you, if you hurt my sister you're going to wish you had never even met me."

She said seriously and I shivered. It was so rare to hear Star be serious that when you did you knew she meant business. I just nodded and she suddenly smiled at me before running off after saying she was going to go find Deidara. I shook my head at what just happened before turning to look back up at Saya who was starting another song. She moved her hips and did the moves perfectly. I couldn't help but smirk at the way she moved effortlessly. I noticed she'd attracted a much larger crowd than before and frowned when I heard some of the guys in the crowd talking about her.

"Look at her ass."

One said.

"No man, look at her tits."

Another said and I growled.

"I wonder if she's taken."

The first one asked and I glared at the crowd.

"A hot thing like her, there's no way she's single."

Another said and I was having a very hard time staying put and not ripping their throats out. It wasn't until the first one spoke up again that I lost it and pulled Saya away from the game.

"Gaara!"

She whined, but I kept pulling her along with me trying to keep from going back and killing the little twerp who had the nerve to say he was getting turned on by watching her dance.

"Gaara you're hurting me!"

Saya said and I instantly let go of her arm.

"What was that about anyway? I was having fun dancing."

She said and I glared at the wall while keeping my jaw clenched tightly so as not to do anything rash.

"Babe, look at me."

Saya said and I ignored her.

"Babe."

She said and I felt her hands reach up and cup my cheek and forcing me to look at her.

"What got you so upset?"

She asked and I looked into her forest green eyes and took a deep breathe before slowly letting it out in a low hiss.

"You were drawing a lot of attention and I didn't like what the guys watching you said."

I said through tight lips and she frowned up at me.

"Babe. We just got together last night and I couldn't be happier, do you really think I'd even consider going out with someone else?"

She asked and I frowned at her.

"That's not the point."

I said and she looked at me confused.

"Then what is?"

She asked and I sighed.

"I don't appreciate other guys talking that way about you."

I said and she smiled up at me.

"Then ignore them."

She said and I opened my mouth to say something else, but she leaned up and pressed her lips to mine and I decided it wasn't that important. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to me and felt her smile into the kiss. She pulled away and smiled up at me.

"Come on, I wanna play another game."

She said and I couldn't help but smile and shake my head at her. She laced her fingers with mine before pulling me along after her towards some random game. I found myself completely relaxing as she put her money in and used her free hand to try and move the claw within the machine to get a certain black and sand colored suffed racoon. When it fell out of the claw I heard her curse and try again. After the third try she was pouting at the machine and looked like she was about to cry.

"Here."

I said and moved towards the machine and put a dollar in. She moved back and watched as I moved the claw easily towards the back of the machine and snatched up the raccoon with ease. She watched as the claw got closer and closer to the drop down shoot and started bouncing up and down excitedly. When it dropped down I reached in and pulled it out. I held it out to her and she squealed happily as she took it from me and hugged it to her chest.

Is she really that happy that I got her a stuffed raccoon?

I wondered as I saw her hugging the stuffed animal tightly then she suddenly moved forward and pecked me on the lips quickly before stepping back.

"Thank you."

She said before smiling widely as she clutched the raccoon to her chest.

I guess so.

I thought and found myself smiling at her before lacing my fingers with hers again and starting to walk around the arcade. Seems like this summer was going to be fun after all.
