Fallen Angel

29. First Kiss

Let me say...

BEST.

NIGHT.

EVER!

Sasuke and I had a contest. Who could stay awake the longest. Whoever fell asleep first got there face drawn on by the winner.

We played Shoji, and you wouldn't believe how competitive Sasuke is. "Rematch!" He said as I made the winning move. I giggled and cleared the board. "I'll win again, just like the past four games." He was determined to beat me, but he didn't.

"I give up!" He said throwing his hands in the air as I won once again, for the seventh time. "About time Sasuke!" I said while giggling.

He glared at me, which caused me to burst out laughing.

"One day Sasuke, one day." I said patting his shoulder as I walked by him. "Hey, let's make cookies?" He smiled slightly and stood up, following me to the kitchen.

Seiko

FESTIVAL IS AWESOME! I was practically dragging Nari through the crowds. They had booths and stands where you could buy food and play festival games. There were lanterns lighting up the streets and it looked beautiful.

I saw Gaara and Kiba waiting patiently at Ichiraku Ramen. "I see them!" I said pointing in there direction. Nari smile and we walked over to them. "Hey Nari! Wow, you look beautiful!" Kiba said as we approached them.

Her face went red and I giggled. Kiamie would have loved to watch this. "Hey K-Kiba-kun. You look g-great." Nari said, stuttering. His cheeks went red as she said that.

It took all I had to not push them into each other and shout,'Now Kiss!' I was tempted to do it.

"Hey Gaara!" I said to him. His cheeks flashed pink but they quickly went back to normal. "Hello Seiko." I took his hand in mine and waved to Nari and Kiba. "Remember what Kiamie said! Keep it PG!"

That made both there faces tomato red. I giggled and looked at Gaara. "What should we do first?" I asked looking around excitedly.

I then saw a game stand, which had a Panda bear as a prize. I want it. "Can we go there Gaara?" I said pointing to the stand. He nodded and we walked over there. You had to throw a ring around a bottle in order to get a prize.

Each bottle was a different color, and that color would determine your prize. You had three tries to throw the ring.

"Excuse me sir, but may I play this game?" He nodded and handed me three rings. I threw the first one and I missed. Ok, you can do this. I threw the second one and it missed. I closed my eyes and quickly threw the third one. I opened my eyes to see it go around a yellow bottle.

"Congratulations!" The stand owner said as he handed me a stuffed flower plushy. Seriously? I sighed and glanced at the panda.

"Let's go play some more games, Gaara." I was about to walk away when Gaara pulled me back over to the stand. "I wanna play." Gaara said. I watched as the man gave Gaara three rings.

Gaara threw all three of them at the same time, all three landing on the the same bottle. A red one. "Wow, you must have some good aim!" The stand owner said. He took the panda of the shelf and gave it to Gaara, who gave it to me.

"Thanks Gaara, you didn't have to get it for me though." I said hugging the panda. He smiled. "I wanted to." My face went red and I buried my face into the stuffed panda. Gaara chuckled and took my hand. We played A LOT of games.

"Seiko, I wanna show you something." I nodded as Gaara led me out of the festival. We came to a field with knee high grass that swayed in the breeze. He led me to the middle of the field. "Watch." He said pointing up to the sky. I waited.

Suddenly, fireworks began to go off. It was so beautiful! There where beautiful red, white, and pink fireworks lighting up the night sky. We had the perfect view! "Oh Gaara, it's so beautiful!" I said while watching the fireworks go off.

He was holding my hand and I turned and before I knew it, I hugged him. "Thank you Gaara!" I said happily. We pulled away, but he kept his arms around me. My face heated up. Was this really happening?!? Calm down Seiko! "Gaara..." I whispered, gazing into his blue eyes.

There was about an inch between our faces, and my heart was pounding. Fireworks erupted in my head as he closed the gap between us. My first kiss. Butterflies were fluttering in my stomach and my heart was skipping beats. Best. Day. Ever.

We pulled away and he rested his forehead against mine. It felt so....right to be with him.

Gaara

My heart was pounding. Our faces where about an inch apart. Should I? Should I do it? I had never felt this way before, and I only felt it around her.

This girl. She was perfect. Her voice, her personality, her smile, her laugh, everything. She was beautiful and kind, always looking on the bright side of things. She was everything I ever wanted.

That's when I made up my mind and closed the space between us. It felt so...right to be with her. My heart was pounding and my head was spinning. We pulled away and I laid my forehead on hers. This girl....
