Gaara Love Story, Does He Only Love Himself? ll CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE ll

You ignore the stone stare of villagers as you stepped into the fruit shop. Why were you going into a fruit shop? Well...
... ... .. .... .. .... .... ... .... ... ... .... .. ... ..... .... ... .... . ....
"Looks like you guys have already met?" Okichi sensei smiled.
Daichi grinned: " YESTERDAY AT THE RAMEN SHOP!"
"Great! Let's have a little party tonight, then, just the four of us, to welcome out new team member!"
You glared at Okichi sensei, and her voice trembled a bit in fear that you were going to rise up and strangle your 'new teammate' on the spot.
But just to seem friendly, you didn't say anything. Hatsuyo squealed:
"YESSSS! I'LL MAKE MY APPLE PIE, THEN!"
You: "We don't have apples, moron."
Okichi sensei roared: " THEN YOU WILL GO BUY THEM THIS AFTERNOON, ISHIKO! WE ALL WANT TO TASTE HATSUYO'S APPLE PIE!"

You sigh, and walk up to the fruit stand, reaching for an apple.
"They aren't for sale." Said a stern voice. You didn't move, and look up from the apples. It was a girl around your age, the shopkeeper, most likely.
You stretch and crack your neck: " I see...I guess pears will do."
But as you tried to take a pear, she slapped your hand: " NO THANK YOU, THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE EITHER."
You eye her: "Don't shopkeepers put away what isn't for sale?"
A woman came by and picked up an apple: " How much are these?"
The shopkeeper smiled: " A hundred yen an apple, maam."
The woman smiled back, and started picking apples into her basket. The shopkeeper snorted:
"In other words, they are on sale, but only to humans."
A few people beside started laughing. You clench your fist and for a minute, you wanted to gauge her eyes out and pull her hair. But then, you sighed to press down the anger. This was nothing.
" NOW GET OUT, NO DEMONS ALLOWED!" She roared, throwing an apple at you. You ducked quickly, and you saw the girl's eyes widen.
"Demon...Where? I don't see a demon anywhere."It was Gaara's soft, calm voice. But even you could feel the scariness in that comment. You turned around and looked up at the Kazekage, who was tossing the apple in one hand.
It was only when he reached out the other hand to help you up, did you notice that you were sitting on the floor. You got up dumbly.
The shopkeeper blushed: " Kazekage-Sama...I just meant..."
Gaara waited for what she was going to say, and the silence was piercing.
Gaara: " Ishiko...You idiot." *BAAAKA!*
He led you out by the wrist, leaving everybody staring at the shopkeeper. You felt rather stupid. Sometimes, Gaara was likea little boy, especially when he stared atyou, confused. But sometimes, you ended up being the little girl. That's what you were right now---A little girl beside the Kazekage.
"You're so....so stupid, Ishiko." Gaara said simply.
You stuck out your tongue: " Heh..."
"I was suprised that you didn't strangle her."
You: "She's a villager, Gaara. Your villager, Gaara. I mean, your village is important to you, so..."
"Not as important to me as you."
There was silence again, then you stopped, and decided to give him a little scare.
You took his arm and hugged it: " OH GAA-KUN, YOU'RE SO CUTE!"
Gaara: " O - O"
You laugh: " Scared you."
Gaara was scared all right: " O - O"
You: " ^0^"
Gaara: " O - O"
You continued walking, and it was getting dark---It would be DINNER TIME soon. You flip over a few bushes and sit beneath a tree. Gaara sat down beside you, and stared up at the sky.
You folded your legs and leaned back: " I'm going back to Konoha tomorrow."
"Yeah, I know." He said without looking at you, " I'll be alone again."
You smile: " You've got many girls loving you to death."
" Do you think I would chose anyone in this world over you?"
You: " Aw...Come on, Gaara." You flick his head, " I'll have fun destroying Konoha."
" You're such a bad girl." He laughed, turning to face you.
You laugh softly: " Maybe I'm a demon. If you believe in demons."
He leaned incredibly close to you, and whispered: " I don't...But...I believe in vampires."
And with that, he leaned forward and you could feel his breath on your lips. You held your breath, as his lips touched yours, and he bit your lower lip gently. You flushed red.
You: " Gaara..."
" You're coming back, right?" He said, and the way he said it was almost like a statement: You ARE coming back, period.
You froze, and then nodded stupidly without a word.He smiled faintly, and lay down, his head falling onto your lap.
"Great." He said, closing his eyes. You stroke his hair, but inside, your heart was pounding. Had you just given your first kiss *yes, you still have your virginity* to the Demon King?
