Learning to love (A Gaara love story)Lesson 24: The Test

Lesson twenty four, it’s time to take your test!

Your POV

You finally made it to the Wind country. Well this hot dry desert was pretty, but it was something you would have to get used to. Not seeing rocks and mountains everywhere would get depressing if you weren’t careful. You turned to Gaara who was silently sitting with his arms crossed and eyes close. You crawled over and whispered to him.

You: “Are you asleep?” it was about seven in the morning. He shook his head and looked at you.

Gaara: “I hardly ever sleep while traveling”

You raised an eyebrow: “But we’ve been traveling for about three days”

Gaara nodded: “I’ve been meditating, I need to be ready if an attack strikes, especially if anyone finds out you’re in here with me.”

You cocked your head the side: “How come?”

Gaara: “You’re the Kazekage’s wife Plum blossom, which makes you a big target, I know I’ve told you his before.”

You shook your head: “Nope, not once”

Gaara: “Remember when I told I didn’t want anything to happen to you because of me?” you thought for a minute.

You: “Oh yeah! Well you don’t have to worry about me, I mean, who would want me?” Gaara blinked.

Gaara: “When’s the last time you’ve looked in a mirror?”

You giggled: “Yeah well, I’m not that great”

Gaara: “I think so, and that means nothing to terrorist, just that, being that you’re so beautiful might mean you’re in more trouble”

You sighed: “Beauty; both a blessing and curse”

Gaara nodded: “Yet still, you have to be more careful now Plum blossom, I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you” he gave a little smile and softly kissed you. You kissed back and smiled too.

You: “Well if you’re that worried, I’ll try Tanuki-kun, but just for you” you tapped his nose and kissed him again.

Gaara: “One more thing, when we get to the village, there might be a crowd of people waiting for us.”

You: “A crowd? How big?”

Gaara: “A large one… Maybe the whole population of Suna…”

You sighed: “Get out of one Kage family… and Join other,,,” You laughed “Well at least I’m used to it” Gaara stroked your face.

Gaara: “Don’t worry, After a few weeks all the buzz will die down, but look on the bright side, no one will dare even look at you wrongly, if they do, just tell me and off with their head” you giggled and nuzzled your nose against his.

You: “Thangeww” you pecked his lips again “Now, do you know anywhere I can get some tasty fries?” he chuckled and nodded.

Gaara: “There are plenty places for that” you smiled happily.

You began bouncing up and down: “Soooo, when are we gonna get there?! How many people will be bowing down to me exactly!? I need to take a nice hot shower!”

Gaara smirked: “Soon, many, and is there room for one more in that shower?”

You blushed slightly and smirked back: “Yay, double yay, and yes I think there is” his smirked widened as he kissed you roughly and made his weight push you down on the seat kissing you all over your face. You giggled wrapped your arms around neck.

You giggled more: “Are we there yet?”

Gaara shrugged: “Doesn’t matter…” he continued to kiss you. You rested a hand his chest and bit back a moan.

You: “Not here…”

Gaara: “Yes here…”

You: “We need to stop before this goes to far?”

Gaara: “I’ve already gone far enough…”

You sweat dropped: “You mean… Already?”

Gaara shook his head: “Just almost”

You giggled again: “Then we need to stop, sorry Tanuki-kun, but you need to wait till we get home” he sighed and kissed you one last time before he got off you.

Gaara: “Fine, fine” he pouted and you giggled again. God he looked cute when he did that! Soon enough though, but not really soon enough, you made it to the village and just as Gaara, there a huge mob of people waiting for you. You were amazed, and you were used it. But just seeing how many people loved and respected the nine teen year old man that sat beside you was breath taking. I mean sure the same thing goes for your father, but he’s old, no offence and stuff. You looked over to Gaara and took his hand, smiling as you did so.

You: “So I guess I have to share you with all these people?”

Gaara shrugged and nodded: “I guess” but he smiled to and brought your hand up and then kissed your knuckles “Though, there are things only you get from me” you would have gone over there and jumped him then showered him in kisses, but, there were lots of people who could easily peer threw the windows so you decided to wait on that and just smiled bigger.

You: “I love you”

Gaara’s smile got bigger too: “I love you too” the carriage came to a stop and the driver got out first to open Gaara’s door, he signaled for you to wait and you nodded and waiting for him to come around and open your door. You smiled again as he took your hand and helped you out, grounding you as you wobbled after sitting for so long the now almost nine am sun almost blinded you but you looked put your hand in front of your face. Once you got used to it you looked around, and smiled at Gaara’s and you guessed now your people. You noticed the children looking at you in awe.

You waved: “Hi!” your voice was cheery and polite for once. They smiled and waved back then people began clapping and cheering for no reason. You beamed your smile up at Gaara who was giving you a loving one in return. Then he held your hand tighter and began walking. You followed and looked around as you did, hearing all the hussle and bussle.

Village woman one: “Aww you would look at that, he looks truly happy”

Village woman two: “Yes, yes he does, our Kazekage is in love he is”

Village woman three: “And she’s sucha nice looking girl too, good for him” you felt yourself blushing slightly at all the talk. You’ve never heard so many nice things about you at once, it was almost over whelming. You felt a tug at your lose hand. You looked down to see a small boy, maybe five or six. He looked up at you, and you looked at him. You stopped walking, and so did Gaara.

Gaara: “Hm?” he looked at you, and you shrugged, and looked at the boy.

Boy: “Lady are you really married to that grumpy Kazekage?” Gaara grew a vein.

Gaara: “Takoshi, where’s your mother?” so he knew the boy?

Takoshi: “I don know! I ran over here to talk to the pretty lady!”

Gaara: “Don’t you think she’s worried?” Takoshi ignored him.

Takoshi: “Are you the Ume lady that the grumpy Kazekage was talking about?”

You nodded: “Well if was talking anyone named Ume, it’d be me”

Takoshi smirked evilly: “Oh so you’re her, I remember him saying to my mommy how beautiful he thought you were in every way shape and form and that you’re perfect and-“Gaara covered his mouth slightly blushing his vein doubled.

Gaara: “Go find your mother Takoshi.” He huffed and walked away. Gaara rubbed the back of his little embarrassed. “Sorry about him…” you giggle a little pink yourself.

You: “its ok” you took his hand again and commenced walking “So, how do you know him?”

Gaara: “His mother is my secretary, she sometimes bring him with her to work and he bugs the hell outta me”

You: “And apparently listens to your conversations?”

Gaara blushed a little again: “Apparently”

You: “I think its sweet, and I bet you’re like his hero” he gave a lazy smile and you both continued walking. You continued walking, smiling, waving, and introducing yourself to people.

Gaara: “One more stop before we get to go home, I must introduce to the Suna council.”

You nodded: “Kk”

Gaara: “Ok now Plum blossom, they are not as forgiving as I am, you must make a great first impression”

You: “Tanuki-kun I’ve come a long way, you don’t have to worry about my mouth running”

Gaara: “Good, because they don’t give second chances”

You chuckled: “Well let’s just be thanking God I didn’t know that when I hated this whole marriage idea or else I wouldn’t be married to you” you smiled but Gaara didn’t. “What?”

Gaara: “They could still… Cancel this if they don’t like you…” your mouth dropped.

You: “What?!”

Gaara nodded sadly: “They planned this whole wedding, so, they have mostly all the say in it”

You: “But-but-but!”

Gaara: “Its ok, I’ve spoken highly of you, …as you’ve heard… So you are already the best choice for me in their eyes, just smile, introduce yourself, and be polite.”

You: “and for the love of God Ume don’t be yourself”

Gaara chuckled: “Hey, I like yourself”

You: “Buuuut, they might not”

Gaara shrugged: “Depends on which side you show them”

You: “My best side?”

Gaara nodded: “Bingo”

You: “Was his nameo?” you laughed slightly and shook his head and you both made it to the Kage tower them up some floors and down some halls and finally an office filled with old men. You’d have to remember everything you learned. Gaara cleared his throat.

Gaara: “This is my wife” he gestured to you. Remember, first impressions are everything.

You bowed: “Sabaku no Ume, honored to meet all of you” they nodded.

Elder one: “As to you young lady, we are the Suna council, now tell us, are you fit to stand by our Kazekage?”

You nodded: “I have perseverance” they raised an eyebrow “Yup, I can assure you, you’re Kazekage is in good hands. I will love and protect him” Honesty is the best policy.

Elder two: “Love?”

Elder three: “Protect?”

You nodded: “I do love him, it took me a while, but I realized it, and as far as protect, I may not look like much but uh I could actually do a lot”

Elder one: “such as?”

You: “Well I have a mean right hook, and an even meanier left one, I have pretty good aim, and can kick hard” they actually cracked a smile and a laugh. Mission accomplished. Get them to laugh and they’re putty in your hands. Communication is key, right?

Elder four: “And as far as an heir?”

You: “We both agreed when we were ready” then they all nodded.

Elder five: “Last question” thank god cause you think were sucking on this “Do you promise to always stay by the Kazekage’s side and see to it that he is happy always?” you looked at Gaara, who was looking back at you, and took his hand.

You: “I don’t see why I would ever want to leave, and I’ll be the best wife I can be” you grinned and rubbed the back of his hand against your cheek. Compromising is very important. He smiled gently. Elders silently consulted with each while you and Gaara just kinda stood there in the moment, looking into each other’s eyes smiling. One of them cleared their throat and you both turned to face them.

Elder one: “Very well, and Kazekage, does Ume already make you happy?”

Gaara nodded: “Very”

Elder: “then it’s decided, live your lives long and happy” you both nodded and bowed then left. After you were out of their ear shot you jumped up and yelled.

You: “Yes! I did it! Excellent!”

Gaara nodded: “You know what that means?”

You looked at him: “What?” he picked you up bridal style and continued walking, you snickered “Where are we going?”

Gaara looked down at you and smiled: “home” you nodded and wrapped your arms around his neck. It didn’t take long before you made it to your abo. It was not little, but not too big. As soon as you got inside and Gaara closed the door you attacked his neck, kissing, licking, and sucking. Gaara moaned and smirked.

Gaara: “Don’t you want a tour?” you sighed and nodded, getting down. “I put this place together during my week here; this is wear I was staying, trying to fix it up nicely for us. Temari and Kankuro will no longer be living with me seeing as though I moved out so it’ll be just you and me.” He paused “till we have children” you nodded and giggled and he pulled you off into the house.

You: “I like, it has that warm and cozy feeling”

Gaara: “There’s a flat screen for you anime, the kitchen is that way, I already put food in there, a patio and slight backyard. There are three other bed rooms beside ours, though our room is the only one with a bathroom, there’s a bathroom down here and another bathroom upstairs.” You nodded.

You: “Ok, well, give me the tour my love” he nodded and showed every inch of the house till you got down stairs to the basement. “Our master bedroom is in the basement?”

Gaara nodded: “I thought it might come in handy when we have guest and children” he smirked “you know, so we don’t disturb anyone?” you gave an evil giggle and nodded.

You: “Good thinking, another reason why I love you”

Gaara: “I love you too, and don’t worry, it won’t even feel like a basement” he pulled you down the wooden stairs and you marveled at your new room. You loved it! The bed was your favorite part.

Picture of your bed-

You: “Oh Gaara… It’s amazing” you gaped in awe. He smiled and nodded. There was a desk, and a computer, and flat screen, and a mini fridge, and a small sofa, and a night stand with a lamp on each.

Gaara: “I’m glad you like, it took forever” you squealed and hugged him. He showed you the master bathroom. Also awesome!

Picture of your bathroom-

You threw your arms around Gaara’s neck and kissed his sweet spot.

You: “You even remembered my Jacuzzi tub!”

Gaara: “Now, would you like to join me in the shower?”

You blushed and nodded: “Ready when you are” he was already taking off his shirt; you giggled and did the same.
