The New Girl (A Naruto Fanfiction)

Twenty-One

Kyamyi's POV

"Run along, then." I told them and they left.

"What do we do now?" I jumped at the sound Gaara's voice, I had forgotten he was there. But then I snapped out of it and I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I was thinking we could go back to finish what we started." I looked at his lips, and licked my own.

"I was thinking that too." He said in a husky voice.

"Then lets go." I pulled away from him. "I'll race you!"

"And what are the odds of me winning?" He smirked.

"I'd say about one in five million, maybe six million."

"The odds are not in my favor."

"You can still try. I'll give you a ten second head start- go!"

He ran and I counted in my head, I even gave him fifteen seconds; then I was off, I smiled at the wind rushing past my face, it felt good to run again, to stretch my legs. Of course I won, I sat on the steps to wait for him, but he never showed. After two minutes I got nervous, and after five minutes I went to look for him.

Gaara's POV

I ran, expecting to lose, when I heard my name being called in the distance. I stopped in my tracks, thinking it was Kyamyi. I turned around, only to find it was Kiba racing to meet me.

"What do you want?" I spat at him when he reached me.

"Listen, Gaara I just want to talk." He said calmly.

"Then talk." I crossed my arms against my chest.

"Well actually I had some questions..." He trailed off when I glared at him. Then he got serious. "Do you love her, Gaara?"

"Yes." I said surely, knowing exactly who he was talking about.

"I do too." He whispered and looked at the ground. "I thought she loved me, I thought she wanted to be with me."

"She's mine- I'm hers."

"I know that now." He looked back up at me. "Do you think she will ever forgive me?"

"Yes."

"Gaara, have you kissed her?"

I licked my lips, I could still taste her on them. "No." I lied, it was for his own good he didn't know.

"Gaara!? Kiba?" I heard Kyamyi calling and I turned around and smiled at her.

Kyamyi's POV

His smile let me know that they were't fighting, but the tension between the two was nearly palpable. I walked and stopped beside Gaara and mimicked his stance; of course I couldn't mimic how intimidating he looked. I stared at Kiba waiting for him to speak.

"I'm sorry for overreacting. I just thought we had something... something special." His gaze flickered to Gaara for a split second then went back to focus on me.

"We did have something, but that something turned out to be a friendship."

"But I love you, Kyamyi." He pleaded with me.

"Do you love me, or are you in love with me? Because I love you, but I'm in love with Gaara."

"You love me?" His eyebrows knit together.

"Yes. You're one of my best friends, if you want to be, that is."

"I'll settle for second best, for now." He clenched his jaw. "But just know, if he hurt- when he hurts you, I'll be there for you."

"I would never hurt her." Gaara growled.

"Hush, Gaara." I whispered. "Thank you for that, but you can't wait forever." I told Kiba.

"I'd wait any amount of time if I knew I would be able to be with you." Then he smiled. "I'll wait for you, but I'll still be your friend, up until the moment you leave him and we can be together."

I grimaced at his false hope, but shook it off. "Friends?" I held my hand out for him.

"Friends." But he didn't take my hand, he pulled me up in a big bear hug. Out of the side of my eye I could see Gaara grimace but he didn't complain. Kiba put me down and grinned, I smiled back. "I'll leave you two be, my mom is probably worried sick about me." He waved and started walking.

"See you later." I waved back. I stood there until I couldn't see him anymore, and when he was out of sight I turned to Gaara and hugged him. He stroked my hair. "I have a very hungry kitten at home." I smiled up at him.

"Then lets go feed him." His hand fell to grasp mine and we started walking.

        A|N: Yay! Update! Sorry its short and sorry about any mistakes. I just really wanted to get the Kiba 'conflict' out of the way. Also I wanted to tell you that this story is almost coming to an end, there might be maybe like seven more chapters... I might make a sequel, but I don't know.
