-Saya-

I didn't see Gaara downstairs and Neji told me he'd gone up to his room after all of us girls disappeared upstairs. Sighing, I walked up the steps and stopped infront of Gaara's door. I took a deep breath before knocking three times.

"Go away."

I heard Gaara's voice say from the other side and flinched. I could hear the anger in his voice and sighed.

"Gaara, I'm coming in."

I said before pushing open his door and sliding inside shutting it after me.

"Saya, leave."

He said without turning to look at me and I sighed again and held the stuffed raccoon closer to my chest.

"No, I need to tell you something."

I said and that got his attention.

"What?"

He asked curiously and I looked anywhere but his eyes.

-Gaara-

I couldn't believe she was hiding something from me. I was her fucking boyfriend and she was hiding shit from me. I tensed when I heard someone knock on my door and growled to myself when I realized who it was.

"Go away."

Hoping she'd listen.

"Gaara, I'm coming in."

Was the response I got instead.

"Saya, leave."

I said without turning to look at her. I didn't want to look at her and know she was keeping secrets from me. I didn't like people keeping things from me. I had trust issues, so sue me.

"No, I need to tell you something."

She said and that got my attention and I turned to look at her.

"What?"

I asked curiously and I noticed she looked away from me. I sighed before running a hand through my hair.

"Well come on in."

I said and she simply nodded and walked over to my bed. She sat down a little ways away from me and I noticed she had that stuffed raccoon I'd gotten her clutched to her chest. It was when I saw the bandages around her hands that I remembered seeing them look like she'd burned them.

Without saying a word I moved so I was sitting right next to her and gently grabbed one of her hands. I heard her breath hitch, but she didn't pull her hand back. I unwrapped the bandages around her hand and glared at the pink skin on the palm of her hand.

"So you did burn yourself."

I said and she simply nodded.

"Does it hurt?"

I asked and she nodded.

"But I'll be fine, I can heal it anytime."

She said and I looked at her confused until she got up and walked into the bathroom connected to my room. When I heard the sound of the faucet being cut on I followed her. I stood in the doorway and watched as she unwrapped her other hand and stuck her hands palm up under the water. The water seemed to glow and wrap around her hands and I watched as the pink hue of her skin faded to leave pale, flawless skin behind. She shut off the water and dried her hands on a towel I had hanging up in the bathroom and held her hands up for me to see.

"See?"

She asked and I blinked in surprise before nodding.

"What did you want to tell me?"

I asked as she walked past me and sat back down on my bed. I followed and looked over towards her to see her still avoiding my eyes.

"First I want to let you know I'm sorry for not telling you when you asked."

She said and I just waited for her to continue. It'd do me no good to interupt.

"You asked me who that guy was, well his name is Jayden Markus and he's a Mythical like us. He's an Ogre to be exact."

She said and I blinked in surprise. That was unexpected.

"How did he know you?"

I asked and frowned when I realized the jealous tone in my voice.

"You won't like the answer."

She warned and I just looked at her until I heard her sigh and she continued.

"He was my ex."

She said and I tensed.

"How long ago?"

I asked slowly so as not to lose my temper.

"Four years."

She said and I relaxed a little and looked at her.

"Why didn't you just tell me that?"

I asked and noticed there was something else she wasn't telling me.

"What is it?"

I asked and she finally looked me in the eyes.

"Gaara, what I'm about to tell you is either going to disgust you and make you want to leave me."

She said and I opened my mouth to say I'd never do that, but she held up a hand and stopped me.

"Or make you want to murder Jayden. I'm afraid to tell you because either of those scenarios scares me. You leaving me and the possiblility of you getting hurt."

She said and I looked at her confused and curious as to what she could possibly be about to tell me.

"You know about my past with my kind and all."

She said and I nodded.

"Well my sisters tried for years to convince me to go out and live my life, not stay in the past. Well I did one day after meeting Jayden."

She said and went into a long story of how she met hmi at school, how he was different from the other humans, then how she learned he was a Mythical like her and her sisters, then how they started to date. Thankfully, she skipped over some details that I personally didn't want to hear about. I could barely stand to hear her tell me about her going out with another guy, but I did because I could tell there was something really important she was leading up to.

"He'd called me over to his house and when I got there it was empty as usual. We got to drinking, though he was already smashed, and he started kissing my neck. I thought it was harmless at first till he started to take off my clothes."

She said and I stiffened. She wasn't about to tell me she had sex with her ex right? I really don't want to hear that.

"I really don't want to hear about you having sex with some other guy."

I said through clenched teeth as I got up and started to walk away from the bed.

"Gaara wait!"

She called out, but I ignored her and started to head for the door. How could she possibly think I'd just sit here and listen to her tell me shit like that?

"I was raped!"

She shouted and I froze.

"What?"

I asked in shock, staring wide eyed at my closed door.

She didn't just say what I think she said.

I thought.

"I was raped."

She said again, quiter this time and I turned around to see her sitting in the middle of my bed with her knees drawn up to her chest and the raccoon cradled in her arms.

-Sheera-

"Do you think she'll actually be able to tell him?"

Star asked me as Sakura popped in another movie. During the credits her and the others talked about their favorite bands and silly things like that.

"I don't know, but I just hope she'll be okay."

I said and Star didn't say anything in response, but I knew she felt the same way I did.

-Saya-

"Wha...I mean how...who?"

Gaara struggled to speak, but finally managed to get his question out as he made his way back over to his bed and sat down next to me.

"Jayden."

I whispered quietly, but I knew he could hear me.

"I was only fourteen and I wasn't as strong as I am now. He easily over powered me and took me on his couch without caring about anything but his own primal urges. Thankfully he passed out before he..."

I trailed off as I felt tears stinging my eyes. It was hard enough to have to relive the memory to tell someone, but this was Gaara. I didn't want him to know this part of me and feel disgusted by me. I didn't want him to leave me.

"I'm going to kill that bastard."

He said suddenly and I looked up surprised and saw pure hatred in his sky blue eyes.

"The reason I reacted the way I did was because when my father found out he made a contract with the Mythical Council saying Jayden isn't allowed to be in the same town as me, so when I saw him I freaked out and just wanted to get away from him. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you, I was just so afraid you'd hate me after you learned the truth and-"

I said, but stopped when he suddenly kissed me. He pulled back and wiped away my tears with his thumb.

"Saya I could never hate you. What happened to you couldn't be helped."

He said and I felt a weight lift off my shoulders at the fact that he wasn't going to leave me.

"But if I ever see him again I'm going to kill him."

He said seriously and I smiled at him. I could tell he was serious. I'd heard him say he was going to kill Naruto and the others millions of times, but he was always playing or wasn't being serious. But right now, I could hear the malice and promise of pain in his voice and felt touched that he cared so much about me to go through so much trouble. I smiled up at him and frowned when my eyes started to droop.

"You should get some rest."

He said and I shook my head.

"I'm fine."

I said and heard him chuckle.

"No you're not Saya, you're practically falling asleep where you are. Lye down."

He said and I was going to protest, but with everything that's happened today the invitation of sleep was too tempting to pass up, so I did as he said and moved so that I was under the covers on his bed. I whined when he got up.

"I'm only cutting out the lights."

He said with a chuckle before the lights flicked off and he was suddenly back on the bed next to me. I instantly curled up beside him and felt his arms wrap around me.

"Thank you for not leaving me."

I whispered as my eyes drifted close.

"I'd never leave you Saya."

I heard him whisper before I felt him press a kiss to my forehead. I heard him whisper something else, but I was out before I could actually hear what he said.
