Iron in my Mouth (Gaara love Story)

Chapter 2- Chance Encounters

"Lord Kazekage! Are you okay!?" A girl with four short, spiky ponytails on her head approached the boy I had stumbled into. The red haired boy spoke, his eyes never leaving my own, "I'm fine, Temari. Leave me be." Temari stopped fumbling and instead turned to me, "Watch where you point that thing! Lord Gaara could have been killed!"

Ignoring her, I scooted forward, trying to place where I had seen this person. He scooted back, and seething clicked in my mind, "You're that boy from my school trip!" The Kazekage stared at me for a moment, before glance down at our position, cheeks reddening. I looked down.

I was practically straddling the Kazekage.

I felt my ears heat up, and I quickly scrambled off of him, instantly missing the warmth of human contact. Naruto ran up, lip bloody and eye swollen. Gaara stood up, eyes still not leaving me. He leaned over and whispered something to Naruto.

Oh God. He was probably asking what all my weaknesses were so that he could find the easiest way to kill me for assaulting the Kazekage. No! Don't tell him Naruto! I'm too young to die!

Naruto grinned, and whispered something back to Gaara. He was enjoying this!

I'm going to die.

Gaara's POV

I kept eye contact with the girl, and leaned over to speak to Naruto,"Naruto, who is this girl?"

Naruto gave me a cheeky smile, and said,"Why? See something you like, Gaara?"

I felt my cheeks go red, and whispered defiantly back, "No! I-I just want to know her name. Please."

Naruto rolled his eyes and mumbled incoherently. I jabbed him in the stomach with my elbow, "So help me Naruto..." Naruto winced, and blurted it out,"Fine! It's... Akira. Akira Hiragame."

"Akira..." I murmured. It was then that I noticed how frantic she was. Her eyes darted back and forth, filled with anxiety. I took a tentative step forward, and she took a step back. I took another step, and at the sight of her moving back again, I inwardly groaned. "Why are you scared?" I asked her, seeing that she had started to shake. She took a breath, "GodI'msorrypleasedon'tkillmeIdidn'tmeantoassaultyou." I stared. She thought I was mad by the whole sand and water thing?

On the contrary, I was merely intrigued.

I shook my head, biting back a smirk, "I'm not going to hurt you, don't you remember me?" Seeing the slight nod of her head, I took another step, bowing my head slightly, "My name is Gaara, Lord Kazekage."

Akira's POV

At least I wasn't going to die.

I bowed my head towards the boy, and smiled a little, "I am Akira Hiragame." I took in the Kazekage's appearance for the first time.

He was wearing a red outfit, with a grayish vest partially covering the top. His aqua blue eyes were just as piercing as the first time she met him. His red hair was in a state of disarray, due to the fall we took earlier. He held his hand out to help me up, and I hesitated.

Would it work a second time?

I reached out , and he grasped my hand, pulling me up. Again, once he let go, I yearned for the warmth his touch brought me.

I heard a lethargic voice behind me, "Akira, stop bugging the Kazekage. Asuma-senpai has a mission for us."

I sighed, giving a slight wave to everyone. I spun around to face Shikamaru, ready to go. Except, black spots clouded my vision, and I fell forward, the ground spinning towards me at a heart racing speed.

The last thing I felt before blacking out was warmth enveloping my body.

DUN DUN DUUUUUN!

Ooh a cliffy!

I'm kinda lazy today.

Still in bed, and it's 1:26 PM.

Is it just me, or is Shino gay?

Awww Asuma senpai! TTOTT
