Love Works In Very Strange Ways (A Gaara Love Story)

Chapter 46

Hello! Sorry this is a day late! I went to anime expo yesterday as L (Lawliet Ryuzaki) from Deathnote and I had SO much fun even though it was my first time over there. I think the highlight of my day was going to the Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods panel and listening to Vegeta sing xDDDDD HILARIOUS. It was SO worth that hour and a half wait. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter! <3 -Animeluver42

Chapter 46

I followed him outside the village.

“Come on kid, I don’t want us to be followed by your fiancé.” He said.

“Huh?” I asked.

“I’m not stupid, kid. I know that he’s using a jutsu to spy on us. Speed up, I really need to talk to you.” He said rushing ahead.

“This should be good.” He said stopping.

“What the heck Miyuki?! You’re getting hitched at this age?! You’re way too young for this kind of commitment.” He yelled in shock.

“I-I can explain Jiraiya-sensei…” I said nervously.

“How can you possibly explain this?! You’re 15 years old and getting married!” He said grabbing my shoulders.

‘I have to tell him. At least tell him…he’s like my father now.’ I thought.

I need to tell him.

“J-Jiraiya-sensei…um…there’s more to this than you think. I need to tell you everything.” I said frightened.

“Oh no, this already sounds bad.” He responded.

“I think you need to sit down for this Jiraiya-sensei.” I said.

“Um, alright.” He said sitting down.

“Jiraiya-sensei, I see you as my father figure now and I feel like I can trust you with anything…” I said.

I looked up at him and started twiddling my thumbs and looked up at him nervously. He looked serious and was listening intently.

“Um…almost a month ago, I came to our apartment after training with my cousin for the day and Gaara was being taken over by the one tail Shukaku that resides inside him. He became possessed as I tried to leave the room and he…he….or more like Shukaku a-actually…” I muttered.

“Miyuki, tell me what he did right now!” Jiraiya demanded.

“He…he raped me.” I finished curling myself in a ball.

“WHAT?!” Jiraiya screamed at the top of his lungs.

“It wasn’t his fault! It was all Shukaku!” I shouted trying to defend Gaara.

“Miyuki, you better not be lying to me!” Jiraiya screamed.

“I’m not!”

“You swear you’re not lying?” Jiraiya said calming down a bit.

“I’m not lying. I swear it.” I said. “And I’m afraid that’s not everything…”

“What do you mean?” Jiraiya said becoming angry.

“Afterwards I became sick like avoiding food, throwing up, getting weaker, getting exhausted and dizzy quite frequently as soon as I entered the Chunin Exams. I fainted after the second round and was taken to a hospital. I woke up about a week later and found out that I have a heart condition that makes me weaker and could kill me if left untreated. I was given medication to stabilize it but at the same time…” I sighed heavily, ready to tell him the biggest secret.

“Jiraiya-sensei…I-I’m pregnant.” I softly said.The color drained from his face as he looked at me in shock.

“W-what? Are you serious kid?” He asked.

“Why would I lie about something as serious as this?” I asked.

“So I’m assuming he proposed afterwards judging by the fact that you guys are planning to get married.” He said.I nodded and he sighed while placing his head in his hands.

“What mess your kid has gotten into Shiro…” I heard him whisper my dad’s name.

“Miyuki, this is always a hard decision to be in and I can tell based on how you defended him just now that you really like him, but the question is, are you both ready to have a child and be committed to each other?” He asked.

“I am. I want to have this child and I love him so much.” I said.

“You guys are still so young…” He said.

“I know we are, but we’re going to have to grow up some day.” I said.

“But you guys should be living your lives and do whatever you want when you’re this age.”

“I know, but we need to take responsibility of our actions.”

“You mean his actions. He’s the one who caused this.”

“No, you mean Shukaku. Gaara would never intentionally do this.”

“Hm…”

“Jiraiya, will you do us the honor of wedding us?” I asked.

His eyes widened.

“Kid, I never said that I’ll let you guys even get married in the first place! However, since you seem to love this guy so much and there is a baby going to be involved, I guess I’ll allow it. As for wedding you two…I’d be honored to do so.” He responded.

“Thank you!” I shouted throwing my arms around him.

“You’d better be kid. I’m making a huge exception for you.” He chuckled hugging me back.

“Are you planning on having a party?” He asked.

“We haven’t planned anything yet.” I said.

“Hmm. Leave that to me. I know a few people on my travels who can help set up a party. Give me a theme, a date and a guest list by tomorrow. I’ll pass by your apartment tomorrow to pick it up.” He said.

“Will do! Thank you so much Jiraiya-sensei!”

“No problem kid. Now if I were you, I’d get to planning right now.”

“Ok. Thank you so much!”

“I’ll take you back. A pregnant lady shouldn’t be doing this much physical work.” He said picking me up and running towards the village.

He dropped me off in front of the apartment and helped me through the window where Gaara, Kankuro and Temari were waiting.

“Thank you Jiraiya-sensei!” I thanked.

“No problem kid. Just don’t forget to make up that list for me.” He said flashing a smile.

“Okay. Thank you sensei!” I said waving him off.

He waved and took off.
