Love Works In Very Strange Ways (A Gaara Love Story) *Chapter 11*

Chapter 11

*Three Months Later*

I stood at the gates in front of Konohagakure. I looked up at the wooden doors that protected the people sealed within the village. The doors opened and there were two guard ninja at this booth on the left-hand side of us. “Who are you and state your business.” The one with spikey hair and bandages on his face immediately asked us. “We’re from Sunagakure, the village hidden in the sand, and we are here to attend the Chunin exams.” Baki-sensei stated.

That’s right; we had come here to participate in the exams in the hope of advancing to the rank of Chunin. At least, that was what we were told.

‘We will be attending the exams for another reason but that will be addressed the day before the exams.’ This is what kept on replaying through my head ever since we took off for Konoha three days ago from Suna. It’s been bugging me the whole way we travelled here. ‘What else are we here for?’ I thought.

“May we please see your permits?” The other guard with a cap asked. We showed them our permits and they allowed us inside the village.

“Go to the apartment. Just follow this main road down 3 blocks and turn to the left side. It should be the 5th building on the right-hand side. Our reservation is under ‘Hiragana’. I’m going to check in with the Hokage and Administrator.” He said, and then he took off.

I turned around and saw nobody. ‘Thanks. I’m on my own. I have no idea where to go…” I muttered to myself.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see a young boy wearing an eskimo coat with his hood up even though it was like 90 degrees outside, sweat pants, red fang markings on his cheeks, canine teeth, ninja sandals and a white and brown puppy on his head. Alongside him was a young girl the same age with dark-bluish hair, pupiless light lavender eyes, a tan Eskimo coat, sweat pants and blue ninja sandals. Finally, next to him was a rather tall boy with dark shades and long trench coat with a high collar that covers his nose and mouth, brown sweats and blue ninja sandals.

“May I help you?” I asked nervously. “More like May I help you. I can see that you’re not from around here. The name’s Inuzuka Kiba by the way. What’s yours, beautiful?” The boy with the Eskimo coat said.

“Well my team just kind of left me. You’re right about me not being from around here. My name’s Hiragana Miyuki.” I said extending my hand to shake his with a slight blush at the compliment.

“We’ll try to help you find them. My name’s Hyuuga Hinata.” The girl with pale lavender eyes said shaking my hand. “Nice to meet you. I appreciate the offer, but I think I can manage on my own.” I said.

“We’ll keep in touch with you if you ever need anything. Name’s Aburame Shino by the way.” The last member said.

“Thank you. I really appreciate it. I’ll be staying at the White Lotus Apartments for the duration of the Chunin exams. See you later!” I said waving them goodbye as I leapt on roofs to try to get a better view of the people with a bird’s eye view.

I instantly saw Temari and Kankuro as they stood out with their outfits and objects strapped to their backs.

I jumped into a branch unnoticed to everyone else in that area. It seemed that they were arguing with some weak-looking genin and academy students.

Gaara’s voice was heard loud and clear and everyone froze in shock except for me.

“Miyuki come out. We should get going.” I heard him say. ‘How did he-‘I thought wondering how he knew where I was hiding, but I saw his third-eye behind me. “Oh…never mind.” I muttered as I made myself known.

One of them was looking at me with love-sick eyes. He had black hair which reminded me of a duck’s rear and onyx eyes. He wore a blue shirt, white shorts and arm warmers, blue ninja sandals and a Konoha headband. His entire appearance and attitude just seemed to scream ‘conceited bitch’.

Gaara seemed to have taken notice to the way he was looking at me. He frowned and snaked an arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. The boy looked a little heart-broken but that just made me smirk. Temari and Kankuro just looked confused.

“I’d like to apologize for my team if they did anything unacceptable or inappropriate.” I said bowing respectfully towards them after Gaara let go of my waist.

They nodded and we turned around towards the direction of the apartment.

“Hey, who are you? What is your name?” The emo looking boy said.

“Me?” Temari asked with a slight blush.

‘No Temari! Away from the bitch!’ I screamed mentally.

“No, the one with the gourd on his back…and the girl with the long black hair and crystal blue eyes.” He said pointing at Gaara and me. We turned to face him with identical piercing glares.

“My name is Gaara…of the desert. I’m curious about you too. Who are you?” He said angrily.

“My name is Miyuki Hiragana. What do you want?” I asked rather harshly. I don’t usually act like this, but ever since the Kazekage forbid Gaara and me from ever meeting outside of missions and training, I grew colder and harsher when it came to my attitude and behavior.

For a split second he looked slightly taken aback, and then smirked slightly.

“My name is Sasuke…Uchiha.” He said.

‘What?! I thought all the Uchiha were dead!’ I thought as my facial expression never changed.

“We’ll meet again in the future. This isn’t that last you’ve seen of us.” I said coldly as I turned around walking away.

“Hey! I bet you want to know who I am, right!” A blonde boy with cerulean blue eyes, bright orange jumpsuit, blue ninja sandals and a blue Konoha head band on his forehead.

“I could care less.” Gaara said immediately turning his back and walked next to me. We jumped away from them and to the apartment.

We checked in and went up to room number 23. It had a balcony with a nice view of the village, a gorgeous bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen and surprisingly one bedroom.

“That’s not right. There are 5 of us here. That means that we’ll all have to share.” I thought aloud.

“That’s exactly why you’re sharing this apartment with Gaara.” I heard slight giggling from behind me. I turned around and saw Temari and Kankuro grinning as wide as the Cheshire cat.

I frowned at them and flipped them off. They figured out about our secret relationship last week and like to tease us about it.

“Have fun, you two!” Kankuro said laughing and shooing us into the big room at the end of the hallway. He opened the door and pushed us inside, locking the door on us before we could do anything.

I sweat dropped and looked at the room. My face went beet red as soon as I realized that this was a Honeymoon suite.

‘Shoot…’ I thought.
