(Kiara's point of view)

After a day of lounging around Gaara's house, well now our house, and running around in the woods I was exhausted. I walked into my bedroom and grabbed some clothes to change into. I grabbed some black and white zebra pants and one of Gaara's black shirts that I never gave back to him and never will. Before I went into the bathroom I walked into the hallway and into the living room where he was sitting.

"I'm taking a shower so no perving." I said teasingly. He just narrowed his eyes at me and slightly nodded. I rolled my eyes, typical Gaara.

After my shower I got dressed and headed into the living room. I didn't sense Gaara in the house or around it, so he must be out on one of those missions. I was going to go to bed, but I knew I wouldn't have been able to go to sleep if I didn't know for sure Gaara was in the house safely.

*2 Hours Later*

I was slowly drifting in and out of consciousness from tiredness. I was drifting out of consciousness when I heard a 'click' sound. In less than a second I had thrown a kunai at the direction it came from. Now I was fully awake. I looked at where I threw the kunai and I saw

Gaara looking at me holding the knife between his fingers.

He looked at me questioningly and I just smiled sheepishly.

"I thought you were an intruder?" I answered the unasked question embarrassingly. He just shook his head at me and tossed the kunai back. I caught it easily.

"What are you still doing up so late?" He asked me. I looked at the clock, 1:00AM, and shrugged. I had no intention to tell him I wouldn't sleep without him here.

"You should go to sleep now then since you were half-asleep when I entered." He said emotionlessly, yet the words were caring.

"Nawww someone cares about me..." I cooed at him.

"Yeah that's it." He said sarcastically.

"Either that or you were inviting me to come sleep with you." I said teasingly while wiggling my eyebrows suggestively.

"That was most definitely NOT an invitation." He replied, but I could see the blush starting to form. I giggled, he was too easy to embarrass.

"I know Gaara, I was only kidding." I said as I jumped off the couch and headed to my room.

"Night." I said as I opened my door. He just nodded in response.

I shut my door and hopped into bed. The second I layed down I was pulled into a deep sleep.

***************************************************************************************************************

I watched my mom's dead body hit floor infront of me. More blood spilled onto the floor from her open wound. My dad lifted up a knife and went to slash my throat, but I was able to kick his legs so he fell backwards.

I ran down the hallways of my dark house. The once bright,happy hallways were now eerie and they mocked my helplessness. I kept running, but it felt like they would never end. I tripped over the carpet and hit the ground with a 'thud'. I quickly scrambled back up and kept running.

I turned down one of the hallways and ran up the stairs and into my bedroom. I locked the door to buy me some time. I opened up the window and pushed out the screen. I knew it wasn't a far drop so I shut my eyes tightly and jumped. I waited for the impact of the ground, but was shocked when I landed into someone's arms.

I opened my eyes to meet my father's evil, cold one's.

"You're too predictable Kiara." He said and I screamed...

****************************************************************************************************************

I shot awake, but before I could cover my mouth I let out a ear-peircing scream. I quickly covered my mouth with my hands and shut my eyes, hoping I didn't wake Gaara. Who was I kidding? He's a ninja, he would wake up at the slightest noise, so he would definitely wake up if someone was screaming bloody murder.

I opened my eyes again, but I felt my blood run cold. I couldn't see anything, at all.

"I'm blind!!!" I yelped. Then I got confused when the darkness crumbled and disappeared.

I looked to my right to see Gaara standing there with a ton of sand retreating into his gourd. Ohh, the sand was around me, that's why I couldn't see... I felt myself blush from embarrassment.

"Why were you screaming?" He asked void of emotion. I look down at my hands.

"No reason." I mumbled.

"Oh, so you just scream in the night for fun?" He asked sarcastically.

"Yeah." I said innocently.

"I don't believe you. Tell me why." He demanded.

"Ihadanightmarethatswhy..." I mumbled really fast and incoherently.

"What?" He asked confused. I let out a huge sigh.

"I had a nightmare. There happy?"

"You have nightmares?"

"Yes."

"Do you usually have them?"

"Yeah, mostly every night."

"How come you didn't scream the other nights?"

"I cover my mouth most of the time, I just wasn't fast enough because I was really tired from waiting up for you." I let the last part slip and I felt my face get really hot. I didn't mean to tell him that...

"You waited up for me? Is that why you were on the couch when I walked in?" He asked softly in shock in confusion.

"Maybe..." I said shyly, he probably thinks I'm a creeper now.

"Why would you wait up for me?" He asked and I looked up at him, now realizing I had moved to face him. I was shocked to see him look so confused, he was usually emotionless, but now he looked so lost and confused, almost vulnerable.

"Because I wanted to make sure you came home safe." I answered and felt my face go even redder. I looked back up at him to see him looked shocked.

"B-but why, why do you care if I come home safely?"

"Because I care about you Gaara and I wanted to make sure you actually came home and weren't hurt, or worse..." I stopped before I broke out into tears at the thought of Gaara not being around. Right there I realized how much this boy means to me.

"Oh." was all he said still in shock. I just silently nodded my head.

and we both stayed in silence, unsure of what to say.
