Sandy, Bloody, Cookie Sweet Love

Chapter 14

Mizumii's POV

I saw the sand and recognized the smell. It couldn't be him, it just couldn't I saw a figure with red hair, icy bluish green eyes, a gourd, and a 'Love' tattoo on his forehead.

It was him! It was Gaara. The only thing that changed was his clothing. Instead of black pants and matching t-shirt, it was reddish brown pants and a matching long sleeved shirt.

He still had that thing about him that made me have that weird feeling I had at the chunin exams. He saw me, and I could've sworn I saw a glimpse of happiness in his eyes. I felt my stress melt away as this new feeling grew.

Gaara told me to get behind him so that he wouldn't hurt me by accident. I obeyed, still in a slight daze. I watched him as he started fighting, and the bone guy got stuck in a sand coffin, but lived. I snapped out of my daze when Kimimaru turned into a bone dino and almost hit Gaara.

Gaara's sand stilled protected him, and the sand is glad it did or I'd kill it... even though that's not possible.

After Gaara buried the bastard under tons of sand, he still wouldn't give up. He made like a forest outta his bone, which made Gaara use the last of his chakra in order to save himself, Lee and me.

Then Kimimaru came out of a bone tree like thing and his bone swirl drill arm thing was centimeters from getting Gaara between the eyes. I almost cried because of how close it was to Gaara, thank the lord the dumbass froze before the bone touched Gaara.

I breathed as Gaara brought us to safety. His sand disappeared from under me and the first thing I did was tackle hug Gaara to the ground, crying from worry and joy.

"Mizumii? What's the matter?" Gaara said, hugging me comfortingly.

"I was so scared when Kimimaru came and almost hit you. I'm so happy you're safe and okay." I sounded like a worried mother or girlfriend.

"I'm okay Mizumii see. Calm down." Gaara was trying to stop my tears with his words, but it didn't work. When I looked into Gaara's eyes I saw an emotion he had never shown before, kindness. He wiped a tear away and cuddled me. I giggled and snuggled into his chest,totally blowing off the fact Lee was there.

"Um, are you two done yet? We need to get back to the village and see if Sasuke's back yet." I glared at Lee and said:

"You can go see if Mr. Popular is back. For all I care he could be in the hospital and not allowed to leave it for the rest of his life." Gaara started playing with one of my ears.

"I wanna stay out here and catch up with Mizumii if you don't mind, you can stay if you want Lee but I'm not gonna leave." After a few minutes of hugs and cuddling Temari showed up.

"Well, well,well will you look at this." I looked at her, smiled, and went on snuggling into Gaara's chest. *Click* I saw Kiba with a camera.

"Well what do ya know. Mizumii found herself a boyfriend. And who else would it be but Gaara. So cute, don't ya think Kankuro?" Kankuro was standing next to Kiba and Shikamaru next to Temari.

"Wow Mizu. Didn't think you'd be like that after a battle."

"I was stressed Shika! I couldn't even fight." I was now pouting.

"Oh poor you. Should I go get you a little punching bag."

"Shika, I couldn't even snap. I was at my breaking point, over the breaking point, but I couldn't generate my black chakra, I couldn't SNAP!" As I was telling this to him his eyes grew wide, along with everyone else's. Then Temari noticed my tear stained face.

"Mizumii? You ok?" I knew telling her I was fine wasn't gonna fly.

"Gaara almost got stabbed between the eyes. And with the amount of chakra he has used he would've died if the stupid bastard up there didn't freeze up. I was worried. And happy that I get to hang out with him again." I blushed saying the last sentence. Everyone but me and Gaara did this little 'awww' thing. Gaara and I had no clue why they were, but continued to cuddle.

We left after a while and when we got to the village, Naruto wasn't there, neither was Sasuke. Choji and Neji were in the hospital, so we went there to get Shika's finger fixed and waited for them. Me and Gaara left the hospital after they checked me for anything that I couldn't heal myself.
