Fallen Angel

18. Gaara of the Funk

~DISCLAIMER~

Entire chapter is in Seiko's P.O.V!!

I ran to the training grounds to meet with Gaara. I can't believe Kiamie did that yesterday! I rolled my eyes and smiled. She's so weird.

As I neared the training grounds, I felt the chakra pull, and I knew that he was there already. I got there and looked around for Gaara.

He was leaning on a tree, watching my every move. "Hey Gaara! What's up? Sorry about yesterday....My friends like to do that sorta stuff." My cheeks were pink as I stood with my arms behind my back. "You think I'm cute?"

I looked up and my face got all hot and red. "Oh umm y-yeah I do think your cute and I understand if you don't feel the same about me and-" I was shut up when he put a finger over my mouth.

"You talk fast when your nervous and your face gets red when I talk to you."
I felt my face get hotter. He removed his finger and I smiled at the ground.

"I'm sorry I don't know why I do it I mean I don't really do it around others it's just that-" I was cut off again by his finger. "I think it's......cute." I think I might like this guy.

He removed his finger and watched me, waiting for me to say something. "Gaara, what can you do with your sand?" We sat on the ground criss cross applesauce.

"I can do almost anything." His sand formed the shape of a rose and it floated in front of me. "That's amazing Gaara." I watched as he made animals using his sand that would run in the air. It was so cool!

"Your so lucky! I wish I had sand powers!" I said smiling.

His sand floated through the air around me, and I touched it as it floated by. It felt like normal sand. Just then Gaara reached out and touched my blue hair, playing with it in his hands.

"I've never seen anyone with blue hair before..." I smiled. "I've never seen anyone with red hair before either." He let my hair drop back into place. There was something about this boy that made him special.

"Oh my gosh! Gaara look! You have blue eyes and red hair while I have red eyes and blue hair! That's awesome." He glanced at my eyes then my hair and nodded. That was actually really cool.

"Yeah that is awesome." After about an hour of us talking, I noticed that he had started to talk more casually to me, and was starting to open up to me.

"Gaara, why is the Kanjin symbol for love on your forehead?" I asked poking it with my finger. He seemed surprised by my question. "I understand if you don't want to tell me." He sighed and put his hand on his forehead.

"Do you know what a jinchuuriki is?" I nodded. Naruto was one.

"I'm the jinchuuriki for the one tails, and the day that they sealed Shukaku, the one tails, inside of me...that was the day it appeared on my head." I thought for a moment. "Maybe it's a sign. Maybe it's there to guide you to happiness or something. Or you know, it's just there for no apparent reason.."

He chuckled while I giggled.
"I never really thought about it. It was always just there." I nodded.

"Gaara, what do you like to do in your spare time?" He sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "Your probably going to think this weird because it is, but I like to cultivate cacti." I tilted my head.
"What's that?" He explained to me what it meant, and I didn't think it sounded weird at all.

"That sounds cool! Maybe I can come visit you and you can show me how to cultivate cacti!" We both laughed.
"What do you do in your spare time?" I thought for a moment.

"I love to embarrass my friends, especially Kiamie." We both stood up and I took his hand. "I'll show you!" We ran around the village trying to find her, but we couldn't find them.

"She's probably busy making out with Uchiha." He raised an eyebrow. "They're going out?" I shook my head no. "Not technically."

"So that's why she was so friendly towards him." I smiled.
"She really likes him. There really cute together. Maybe we'll see them doing something cute!"

We walked around some more. That's when I sensed her chakra. It was coming from a tree.

"C'mon Gaara! There in that tree!" I whispered we snuck over to the tree and saw Kiamie sitting there, drawing. "Aw man she's not doing anything but drawing." I frowned.

"How rude, not even spending the day with your boyfriend." She heard me and glared at me. "He is not my boyfriend!" I smirked. "Yet." Gaara chuckled.

We got back to the training grounds and I laid down. "See, I told you it was fun!" He rolled his eyes smirking while I giggled.

The sun began to set and I frowned.
"I better get going Gaara. See you tomorrow?" He nodded. And I waved as I walked off towards my house.

I brushed my wet hair while sitting in front of my mirror. I had came home and gotten a shower, and I was now in long blue pj pants and a black tank top with a penguin on it.

After I finished brushing my hair I cut my lights off and laid down on my bed. I sat up when I felt his chakra. I went to my window and opened it.

"Psst....Gaara? You there?" I whispered. I looked everywhere but couldn't seem to see him. Then I looked up and his head was inches from mine. "What are you doing?" I whispered. I got out of the window and he jumped in.

"I got bored and the chakra led me to you." I nodded and flopped down onto my bed. "Aren't you tired?" He laid down next to me and shook his head.
"I don't sleep."

I sat up and stared at him. "You don't sleep?" He shook his head again. "Is it because of Shukaku? Is he not letting you sleep?" He nodded his head. "Why won't he?"

Gaara sighed. "He told me not to sleep or else he would take that chance to come out, and hurt people." I laid back down.

"So he talks to you?" Gaara nodded.
"He seems to like you." Gaara said smiling. So he....likes me? I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

"Gaara, if you had the chance to kill me during the Chunin Exams, would you?"
He was silent for a moment. He turned his head and met my gaze.

"I would never be able to hurt you, even if I wanted to. I don't know why, but I feel calm around you, unlike the way I do around other people. Your different from anyone else I've ever met, and it's weird. Shukaku even likes you, and he's not very found of people. I guess what I'm trying to say is that your special to me." I felt my face heat up. I'm....special to him?

(A/N: this chapter is so cheesy XD)
