Fire style: Burning Love Jutsu

Chapter 30: Morning of a good sleep

I heard lazy footsteps come from the stairway to Gaara's room followed by 2 yawns. I turned around to see Azamuku and Gaara standing there. "Aww. I forgot how cute you two looked when you wake up." Temari teased. They both raised their right hands which held something and flung it towards her. She shrieked and ducked, dodging 2 small shuriken. "I also forgot how cranky you both get." She said, ducking back into the kitchen.

"Morning, sleeping beauties." Kankuro said from the couch. "Why are you all so noisy this early?" Azamuku asked, running her fingers through her hair. She looked beautiful even first thing in the morning. "Breakfast will be done in a bit." Temari called. Gaara and Azamuku both walked to the couch and flopped down on it, forcing Kankuro to move over and Gaara laying his head on her lap. "Looks like someone had a good night sleep." Temari said with a grin. They both ignored her as Kankuro chuckled. "What's so funny, cat?" Azamuku asked, glaring out the corner of her eye.

"Nothing! Nothing." He said quickly. "It's just. This is exactly how we used to be. You two would walk out of Gaara's room last, everyone else would be awake, you'd be greeted, you both groaned or threw something at the greeter, then you'd push Temari and I over on the couch and Gaara would lay his head on your lap." Kankuro said, smiling. "Old habits die hard." She said. I got up and walked over to her, leaning over the back of the couch and placing a light kiss on her cheek.

"Good morning, beautiful." I said in a low voice. She shuddered and I immediately got hate messages. "You do that again and I will tape your mouth shut." I heard. I chuckled and kissed her cheek again before sitting back in the chair at the counter. "Breakfast!" Temari called. "Not hungry." Azamuku and Gaara chimed. "I figured as much. Looks like nothing changed for you two." She said, laughing. One of the best things about being new to a relationship was learning all the quirks and tricks to your partner.

I shot a glance over at her, staring for a bit and hoping I implanted a picture into her head before returning to my plate and eating. "Dammit." I heard from her, letting me know it worked. A grin spread across my face as I took a bite. "Gaara. I'm going to go shower. Go get some fresh air. It'll wake you up." She said. He groaned before getting up and dragging himself back upstairs and onto his balcony.

She followed only to grab clothing then I heard the bathroom door shut. "So is that what I have to look forward to, every morning?" I asked. "Considering she's done that exact routine every morning since she was a child? Probably." Kankuro replied. I heard a soft noise coming from upstairs that sounded heavenly. "She was always so cranky." Temari said. "Quiet!" I told them both as I listened. They silenced themselves and listened as well. "Is she... Singing?" Temari asked. "What have you done to our sister, kid?" She laughed.

I got up from my seat, abandoning my plate and slowly crept up the stairs. The closer I got to the bathroom, the louder it got. "I want to change the world! I won't lose my way again. With you, if we could shape the future, we can fly anywhere." She sang. I listened, Gaara had joined me, clearly interested as well. "Change my mind! Without losing my passion, I spread my wings to an unknown new day. I'm sure they will unfurl. It's wonderland." She continued. The water shut off and we heard her get out.

The rest of her singing became humming as we both went back to what we were doing. "Did she use to sing in the shower?" I asked. "No, actually." Temari said. "Well she was and it was beautiful." I said, stuffing my face with more food. The bathroom door clicked open and she stepped out in another outfit. She wore a half shirt that went to just above her belly button and a pair of shorts that had a half skirt on her left hip. This outfit wasn't nearly as bad as the second one but it still made me want to sweep her up and run away.

"I like that one." Temari said, giggling. "Gaara picked this one out for me." Azamuku said. "I like it. It makes you look sexy yet classy." Temari said, smiling. Gaara walked downstairs, fully awake and changed as well. "Gaara? I never did ask the second question." Azamuku said. He turned his head, looking at her. "I want to show you something that I've been working on since I left." She said, heading outside.

This all peaked our interest as we followed. "I'm going to need you to trust me on this once we get to a safe distance." She said, running. We all followed her to outside the gates, wondering what she was up to. She stopped in the middle of an empty area, us stopping as well. "Gaara. I need you to trust me. This is a justu I've been working on. Never perfected it because I needed you to do it." She said. "Do you trust me?" She asked. Everyone looked at him as he thought for a moment then nodded
