Recap:

"Tch...you're acting so cocky when you're the one who came here for advices...are you really that clueless about love?" he complained.

I stayed silent.

He gave me an evil grin and say the three words that I've never expected to do in my whole life.

"You...kiss...her"

*recap end*

I continued staring at him with my impassive face but my mind was racing. I have to KISS her? How do we even do that? I've never done it before...

"Forget about it. Don't tell anybody about our conversation." I muttered as I walked out of his room carelessly.

Before I could even shut his door, he rushed outside into the hallway too.

"Hey! I wasn't done yet." He shouted mockingly.

"I was done listening" I replied coldly as I continued walking to my room without turning around.

"Pft...idiot" I heard him mumble as he went back into his room and slammed the door.

----------------------

I was walking up the stairs silently when I bumped into Temari. I looked tiredly at her grinning face and continued passed her not caring what was the reason of her grinning.

"Kirino's in her room dummy. She just came back so stop sulking." Temari said from behind and I whirled around shocked.

She grinned and gave me the thumps up sign and walked away.

When she was out of sight, I hurried to Kirino's room and knock on it twice.

No reply.

I knocked again.

No reply.

"Kirino? It's me Gaara."

Still no reply.

I just stood there sad. Maybe she's mad? Maybe now she hates me. I gripped my hair in frustration and slid down against the wall next to her door.

For what seems like a few minutes I heard her reply.

"Go away."

I jumped to my feet and twirled the knob but it was still locked.

"Please...let me in"

"No! I said go away!" She screamed back. I can actually hear the hurt in her voice.

I frowned. "Ok..." I said as I walked slowly away.

Kirino Pov:

I was laying in bed trying to sleep but then I heard a knock on my door. I didn't feel like talking to anyone so I stayed silent.

The knock came again and then a voice said "Kirino? It's me Gaara"

My grip tightened around my pillow as I hear his voice. Tears came down again. I couldn't hold it back.

After a few minutes I managed to croak out "go away" but he insisted on coming in.

"No! I said go away!" I shouted through my sobs. Then my heart broke even more as I heard his footsteps fade away down the corridor.

I closed my eyes tightly and tried to calm down.

When I did, I sat up and grabbed for my alarm. I set it 12:00 p.m. and drifted into a dreamless slumber.

*ring* *ring*

I shot my eyes open to my alarm sound. I sat up and turned it off.

"It's time" I muttered and slipped into my ninja outfits.

I took a plain paper and wrote a brief letter for Hinata. It goes like this:


ᗪEᗩᖇ ᕼIᑎᗩTᗩ,
Iᗰ ᖇEᗩᒪᒪY ᔕOᖇᖇY ᖴOᖇ ᒪEᗩᐯIᑎG ᖴIᖇᔕT ᗯITᕼOᑌT TEᒪᒪIᑎG YOᑌ, ᗷᑌT I ᖇEᗩᒪᒪY ᖴEEᒪ ᕼOᗰEᔕIᑕK ᑌᑭ TO TᕼE ᑭOIᑎT I ᕼᗩᐯE TO ᒪEᗩᐯE IᗰᗰEᗪIᗩTEᒪY. ᑭᒪEᗩᔕE TEᒪᒪ ᔕᕼIKIᗰᗩᖇᑌ ᗩᑎᗪ TᕼE OTᕼEᖇᔕ TᕼᗩT I ᗩᑭOᒪOGIᘔE ᖴOᖇ TᕼIᔕ ᖇᑌᗪEᑎEᔕᔕ ᗩᑎᗪ ᔕᗩY TᕼᗩT I'ᒪᒪ ᗩᒪᗯᗩYᔕ ᗰIᔕᔕ TᕼEᗰ ᗩᑎᗪ I ᖇEᗩᒪᒪY EᑎᒍOY ᗰY ᐯᗩᑕᗩTIOᑎ TᕼEᖇE.
EᑎᒍOY YOᑌᖇ ᐯᗩᑕᗩTIOᑎ!
ᒪOᐯE,
KIᖇIᑎO

I tugged the paper into my pocket and went outside by the window. It was a full moon and I can see everything under the moonlit. I went to Hinata 's window and slid the note under it.

I jumped onto the Kazekage's mansion roof and took a last view of Suna.

"Woah" I gasped softly. The view was amazing under the bright moonlit. Everything was so calm. There was no sound except for the breeze brushing my hair making it fly into my face and block my view.

I took the red strands of hair and tucked it behind my ear. The houses were dark and the roads were silent. I frowned slightly and then my heart felt heavy.

"I hope I'll never have to come here again" I whispered and bit my lip.

"Why not?" I heard a voice behind me say. My eyes widened and I started shaking. That voice...I know it all too well. Gaara. How did he know I'm leaving?? I mentally asked myself.

"What are you doing here late at night in your ninja clothes?" He asked me again.

My heart thumped faster and I fought the urge to turn around and face him.

"It doesn't matter. What are you doing here then?" I asked him in my best serious tone but it still came out in a squeak.

"I don't sleep remember? I was the jinchuriki of the one tail." He replied calmly.

I stayed silent.

"Were you....trying to go?" Gaara asked. I tried my hardest to detect any sadness in it but found none.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath trying to hide my shaky hands.

"What if I really do" I replied while exhaling.

He stayed silent and then I heard footsteps approaching me. I tensed up but stayed as still as stone.

His footsteps kept coming until he was standing right behind me. I felt his hot breath on my bare neck which sent shivers up my spine. We stayed in that position for awhile when he started moving again.

He placed both his hands on my shoulder and twirled me around so that I was facing him.

I didn't look up into his eyes. I was short so my head was only up until his collarbone. I stared at it.

"Why are you leaving? Don't you like it here?" He asked me quietly.

I bit my lip and stayed silent.

"Look at me...Kirino." He spoke up again.

I shook my head slightly and look away.

He sighed and crouched down so that he was at my level. With one of his hands still placed on my shoulder he took the other and grabbed my chin gently and turned my head to him so that we were fully facing each other.

"Look at me" he said again. At this point it was hard not to so I forced myself to shift my eyes to his aqua ones.

I was surprised that they look so....sad and pained.

I stare at him my eyes boring into his.

I clenched my fist and dug my nails into my palm.

'Dont cry. Don't cry in front of him...not now please' I mentally pleaded myself.

"Answer my question Kirino...please. Why were you leaving?? Is it because of me?" He asked solemnly.

I shook my head.

"No" I said shakily.

"Really?" He said raising an eyebrow.

"You know what? You're a terrible liar...Kirino."

I started shaking and I gave up. I let my walls fall down and tears came rolling down freely. Why was I so frail and emotional?

"Yes...I'm l-leaving cuz of you...so what?? Stop acting like you actually care."

"I really do care. It hurts when you leave" he said softly.

With that anger took over me.

"Stop lying. Stop acting like you care! Ok?!? When ever I thought you really do care I end up seeing you making out with other girls"

"No...you got it-" he started but I cut him off.

"I-I love you so much!I love you...do you not notice??! That's why I'm leaving. I'm trying to stop loving you. I don't want to have a stupid one sided crush forever!! I-It....hurts when I see you with Matsuri. It hurts when I see her taking care of you." With that I broke down into a sob again clutching my heart .

"Do you *sob* know how much *sob* I tried to ignore *sob* the pain? Do you-" I was cut short by warm hands cupping my cheeks and something soft on my lips. My eyes widened and I looked up to see that it was Gaara's lips. His lips were soft and surprisingly warm.

I tried pushing his chest away but he only cupped my face tighter. After awhile, I closed my eyes and both my shaky arms automatically wrapped around Gaara's neck pulling him closer deepening the kiss. Under me, my feet wobbled and gave way but Gaara immediately wrapped his arm around my waist keeping me in place. I melted into the kiss...this is what I was always longing for. This is what I was always dreaming about....

Gaara broke the kiss and hugged me tight. My cheek was pressed against his strong chest.

"G-Gaara"

"Please Kirino...don't...leave. Don't avoid me...don't EVER stop loving me. I...love...you. I love you so much Kirino." Gaara whispered softly and hold me in front of him to wipe my tear-stained face.

I was stunned but I ended up hugging him burying my face into his chest. A feeling of safety overwhelmed me as he returned the hug. I smiled and hugged him tighter.

"I love you too, Gaara" I mumbled into his fuzzy clothes.
