Kakashi listened intently on Akuma as she finished her story. Akuma turned to look at him, and narrowed her eyes. Kakashi flinched as he asked what's wrong.
"Don't you dare say a word to the others or i will burn your books while you're tied to a chair" Akuma said with a deadly glare
Kakashi gulped as he nodded his head furiously. Akuma sighed and pulled him up, which he gladly took her hand.
"You should go on ahead, and do something about Sasuke" Akuma said
"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked
"Just go!" Akuma said rolling her eyes
"Alright...by the way, that smile is cute" Kakashi said as he disappeared right after he said that
Akuma was then left there, still processing what he said. It was then she realize that she was smiling. She touched her lips, and smiled widely as a tear of joy escaped her eye.
"You can come out now!" Akuma said
"So you do know that i was here"
"Yeah, i do......Gaara" Akuma said
Gaara jumped down from a tree and walked towards Akuma. She looked at his figure as he walked towards her. And somehow...she felt her heart racing.
"Hey...i heard all of it..." Gaara said with his emotionless look
"Yeah i know, remember? I knew you were here" Akuma said
"S-so...you uhmm..." Gaara stuttered as he can't seem to find his words
"Don't worry about it, i know you're not good at this stuff" Akuma said
"How?" Gaara asked curiously
"Cause i've met your siblings before this chunin exams started" Akuma said
"Is that so?" Gaara said acting like he's not curious at all but Akuma was able to notice as always
"You're curious aren't you? How we met?" Akuma said, Gaara took a moment but he eventually gave up and nodded.
*FLASHBACK
"Well well...we've met again..." Kankuro said
"So it seems" Akuma said giving him a cold stare making him shiver. In the distance was Temari, running towards them.
"Oh it's you!" Temari said as she reached them
"Hang out with us?" Kankuro offered
"No thanks" Akuma said coldly
"Then how about next time then, we need to tell you something" Temari said, Akuma only nodded and was about to leave. But again bumped into someone else.
"Gomen! I wasn't looking!" A boy wearing spandex suit bowed. Akuma got an irked mark because she's been bumping into someone a lot.
The boy whose name is Lee, stand up to face her. He then quickly change expression when he looked at her. It was a dreamy look he's giving.
Akuma sighed as she got irritated by the boy's action. She turned around and pulled Temari and Kankuro. Leaving Lee behind as he cried his hearts out.
"This doesn't mean anything!" Akuma said as she pulled the two inside a barbecue shop
Temari and Kankuro was speechless at first but soon laughed. While Akuma looked at them like they were into some crazy shit.
"Sorry, you were too cute" Temari said
"And beautiful..." Kankuro added as he looked at Akuma with a sexy face which clearly doesn't suit him.
"What do you guys wan't?" Akuma asked seriously, brushing their compliments off. Making the two sweatdrop.
"Well it's about our brother...Gaara" Temari said as Kankuro nodded
"Yeah, he somehow flinched under your strong gaze when we first met, we think he's-" Kankuro wasn't able to finish his sentence because Temari elbowed him
"He's not really the type to start a conversation since he doesn't talk to anyone..." Temari said
"So if ever you two met...well, i don't know...just bare with him" Kankuro said
"Oh! It's late already! We need to hurry Akuma-san!" Temari said as she pulled Kankuro up
But before they disappear on her sight, Kankuro turned around and gave her a flying kiss. Akuma got mad and accidentally punched the table of the shop.
(It was when she was running back home after spending time with Shika&Choji and bumped into someone)
*FLASHBACK END
"So yeah...that's it, i was confused you know" Akuma finished, Gaara only looked at her shock
"Hey come on! Say something..." Akuma said waving her hand on his face
"Sorry..." Gaara said
"It's alright, by the way...can you punch Kankuro for me?" Akuma said
"Why would you wan't me to?" Gaara asked
"I washed a mountain of fucking plates because of him that night" Akuma said as she balled her hand into a fist, already thought of 5 ways to torture Kankuro.
"I'll gladly do that for you" Gaara said as he somehow blush a bit
"Thanks! But don't kill him okay?" Akuma said as she ruffled Gaara's head
Realizing what she did, Akuma's eyes widened. She quickly retreated her hand away and turned her back on him. And guess what guys! Our Akuma is blushing!.
Gaara grabbed her hand turning her to face him. He put Akuma's hand on his head again. And the next thing he did was....smile...
"This is the old Akuma isn't it?" Gaara asked, Akuma looked at him and smiled back.
"Yes...yes she is.." Akuma said
"Suddenly i'm glad...." Gaara said
"Gaara....i didn't know you have the guts to do this" Akuma said
Gaara's eyes widened realizing how close they are. This time...he was the one who retreated. Akuma suddenly can't help but laugh at his reaction. It has been a long time since she was able to let out her laugh again.
"Hey...you need to come back now..." Akuma said putting her hand on his shoulder
"What about you? When can we meet again?" Gaara said as he was shocked of the words that's leaving his mouth for a while now.
But there's a part of him that didn't really cared about his actions right now. Because he somehow can't go cold mode when he was infront of her.
"I'll be staying here for a while...now go.." Akuma said shoo'ing him away, Gaara nodded as he got ready to leave.
"Oh and Gaara..."
He disappeared into grains of sand.
----------------------------------------------
Gaara was leaning against the wall, as the preliminary round continued on. All of a sudden, his heart started beating.
It started beating because of her last words. A smile somehow made it's way out. Temari and Kankuro notice this and can't help but smile as well.
"Oh and Gaara...send your real body a message for me, Gaara...thanks for this sweet moment"
----------------------------------------------
Author's note:
What do you think? Surprising right? So Gaara has a romantic side. And Akuma is coming back to her old self.
\(>o<)/ hope you enjoy~
