smiles and sand

chapter 5

               As I trotted inside, the receptionist glared, and hissed at gaara, "If your pet "ninja" is going to get her mangy fur all over, she better clean up after herself." I simply growled and snapped my jaws at her. Gaara chose to ignore her. After quickly sniffing the air for anything that seemed put if place, we hurried up the stair, and into the suit we had been given, to find temari and kankuro glaring at each other. "Why didn't you say anything you moron?" Temari hissed at kankuro. I barked once to get their attention. "AYANE! WHAT HAPPENED?!?!" temari cried out as she wrapped me in a hug. I released the jutsu as she took a step back. "I followed the man as far as i could. I have his scent and a basic description. But I was unable to pursue him. I am sorry ma'am." I said, mentally kicking myself for talking to her so formally. But that was how I have always given my field reports. It just seemed like it was what i was suppose to do. She smiled at me and sighed. "Ayane, you know we don't blame you for losing the guy right? Our main concern is protecting garra. Now, give a description of the guy to I can relay the info to the hokage."  I told her the description. "the man was approximately 6'2, with a strong profile, the only real defining characteristic he had was a scar that runs from under his left eye to the corner of his mouth on the right side. The symbol on his head band wasn't any that I have seen before, but he wore it tied around his right upper arm. That is all i have to report." Tamari looked like she wanted to keep questioning me, but gaara cut in before she was able. "Tamari, she has been through quite a lot. Let's save the 20 questions for later. Right now she needs rest." With that being said, gaara gave his siblings his usually glare and they scrambled over one another to get out the door. "Goodnight you two." They called over their shoulders as the shut the door. 

        With Gaara and I being the only ones left. I sighed before setting up a chair by the window. "I'll take watch." I Said as I placed a hand on my weapons pouch. Gaara gave me the same glare her gave his siblings, only it had a softer edge. "You were just released from the hospital. You Will rest." He said with a frown. Groaning inwardly I calmly replied. "I am your guard Lord kazekage. Its Is my duty to protect you. Get some rest." I said, but I could tell before I opened my mouth that my words were futile. Because Gaara was already moving toward me. "Go to bed." His words were clipped as his sand began to weave about in the air behind him. "I'm really not tired." No sooner did i finish talking that His sand had wrapped and me and lifted me effortlessly. "DAMN IT! PUT ME DOWN!" I screamed as his sand obeyed. Plopping me down onto one of the two beds in the room. SCratch that. There was only one. What the hell? "Gaara, where are you going to sleep? There is only one bed." I said as I glanced at the floor. "In bed with you." He said so calmly I almost didn't question that. Almost. "The hell do you mean, in bed with me?" I nearly stretched.
