🌹Chapter Twenty-seven🌹
🎉The Celebration🎊
"Come on, (Name), this celebration isn't a celebration without the heroine." Temari said,
"I'm not a heroine, I lost one life when I was supposed to save all of them.."
"She chose to die and set her chained spirit free, isn't
that a good thing?"
"Well, yeah but I still feel guilty.."
"Her soul is at peace, there's nothing to fret about.."
"Okay," I got up from where I sat and walked out with Temari.
"Thank you, for bringing our children back. Thank you so very much!" The mothers of Makoto and Kei came up and hugged me,
"I'm glad I could be of help to you.." I hugged them back. Gaara then appeared by my side, "You did a good job, (Name), I'm so proud of you.." He kissed my forehead. He then went up and addressed everyone. "Most of you may not know the story but, when I met name, I almost wanted to kill her. She wanted to talk to me, I tried to walk away but she entangled me with her love. She taught me that killing doesn't solve a thing, it causes more hatred, if there was love, the world would be a better place for this generation and generations to come. But sadly, light can't survive without darkness.. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be addressing you all today, she's my hero, she's our hero.." Everyone applauded and cheered, I decided to step up and give a speech as well, "I didn't imagine to be this well known and loved before in my life, well, I did wish for that so.. I always dreamt of going down in history as one of the most honorable women in the village hidden in the sand, haha that can wait for now. Though I had a normal life, a loving family, a stable household, a smooth reputation, I still felt that I missed something and I kept thinking over and over what is it that I'm missing. So that night, I decided to take a walk around the quiet town and I just so stumbled upon Gaara, I said 'No, let me leave him alone. Should I?' I finally picked up my courage, one by one, bit by bit, to talk to him. It went pretty good actually- you know what, let me stop beating around the bush, if I didn't talk to him, I wouldn't he how I am today; I wouldn't have met his brother and sister, I wouldn't have went to the Leaf to watch him and his siblings fight, I wouldn't have met Kōri.. I wouldn't have found my long lost squad members because of him. People are thanking me for returning their loved ones and friends back to them, don't thank me, thank him." They applauded livelier that ever, Gaara then approached me and kissed me in front of everyone. "Ooooooh!" They cooed, I immediately pulled away and blushed of embarrassment. "Again, again!" Someone in the crowed cheered, that someone happened to be my two squad members.
I rolled my eyes and kissed him again, and on the went.

As the people head off to their homes, Gaara held my hand as we walked to his home and yes, I was spending the night with him, "We have a lot to catch up on, huh?"
"Not really, we are where we are, I think that's good enough for us.."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, (Y/N).." he tightened his grip on my hand. "If that's what you want." I rested my head on his arm, we arrived at his house shortly after, "After you."
He opened the door for me, "Why, thank you.." I giggled and walked in, he walked in right after. "Wow, you didn't make any changes at all.." I looked at the place, nothing changed in my eyes.. "Just repainted it and got a few new furniture, nothing else besides that.."
"It still smells the same, that same rose scented candle.." You chuckled.
"You want anything?"
"No, I'm good." You sat on the couch, "So, what's on your mind? Work?"
"No, just thinking about what we can do tonight.."
"Oh, so what are your plans for the future?"
"Marry you, have children with you, hopefully modernize the village.."
"Nice, I had pretty much the same intentions." I rubbed my eyes that began to get blurry, "Are you tired?"
"Mhm.." You nodded as you yawned, "I had to wake up early this morning, all that running to the Leaf, all that running to the shrine, all that fighting and all that running back home.."
"I'm not surprised though, you deserve some rest. I'll get you some comfortable clothes to sleep in.." He went to retrieve me comfortable clothes to sleep in, he then left the room for me to change
"Did you have a girlfriend when I was gone?" I joked, wondering where he got women clothes from. "Huh? No, that's Temari's.."
"Okay, I was just joking about the girlfriend thing though. Even so, I wouldn't be mad if you did, I thought you would've *yawn* found someone else when I was gone. Especially that I left you when you needed me the most, I'm really surprised at how loyal you are and I still feel the guilt.."
"No, don't be guilty and besides what better woman to have than you? I mean, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have been where I am today."
"You're too sweet to me for your own good.."
"Hehe, okay you should rest.." He led you to the master bedroom, "You could've given me the guestroom, y'know?"
"I'll take the guestroom, get yourself comfortable.." I sat on the bed and tucked myself in, he kissed me goodnight and before he can leave, I grabbed his sleeve "Stay."
"I- I don't think-"
"We are lovers, right? We should learn to be comfortable around each other.."
"O-okay.." He laid himself right next to me and I hugged him, "Goodnight, Gaara."
"Goodnight, (Y/N).."
