Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto… too bad I know, just imagine owing Gaara. Sigh.

After waving goodbye to Kaeda I closed the door behind me. Humming I walked around the first corner and almost bumped into Gaara.

“You scared me!” I said slightly breathless placing my hand over my heart for emphases.

“You took long.” He said glaring at me.

“Was it so bad to give a young girl a ride home?” I asked wavering under his glare. He was angry I could tell. As an answer he turned around and started to walk to his room. I went after him only stopping in his doorway.

“Aren't you coming in?” The redhead finally opened his mouth again.

“My nightdress is still in my room I should…” I started pointing in the hallway.

“You don't need it.” Surprised sand wrapped itself around my wrist and pulled me to the bed. He quickly undressed leaving only his underwear and did the same to me. Then he pulled me in his arms underneath the covers. A little concerned I looked up at him and saw he was trying to sleep.

`What happened?' I questioned myself. `Normally we sleep in my room, not his.' With a sigh I snuggled more against him enjoying his fragrance. `This isn't so bad… we should sleep more often in his room…'

-

Half awake I snuggled closer to my heat source. Becoming more conscious again I noticed that I was warmer than usual. `Gaara's still sleeping?' I wondered with half open eyes. Looking up I saw that he was still deep in dreamland.

`This is the first time I woke up before him.' I chuckled to myself. `But I do wonder what was wrong yesterday. Did he run into trouble? I can't believe he would be angry because of Aya.' Staring up to him I noticed the peaceful look on his face. `He's so cute!' I couldn't help but think. Deciding to let him get the necessary rest I stayed silent until he woke up by himself.

“Good morning.” I whispered gently looking in his drowsy eyes. “Sleep well?” I asked after a sweet kiss. He made a sound of satisfaction and started to kiss me again. I got trapped under him and my breast came in the open to get a lip and tongue massage. Biting my lip to keep in the moans I looked at the red locks caressing my skin.

“Don't you have work?” I panted.

“I'll take the day off.” The quick reaction came.

“Really, you can do that?” I asked surprised. Gaara stopped his massage and it seemed he registered what he had just said.

“I'll start later.” He compromised in the end before going back to my breast. I could feel his arousal poke against my leg while he descended to my stomach. He left a few hickeys before removing my panties. My foot was already sliding the boxer of his and succeeded in removing it completely with the owner's help.

Our lips met again and he slid into me. Hugging him against me we moved like one and I moaned louder with every thrust till we both reached our climax. Panting Gaara caressed my face.

“I lo…” He started, but seemed to change his mind mid way. I kept looking expectantly at him and noticed the resolved look.

“I like you.” He said in the end to my surprise.

“Like…like in love?” I asked shocked. I couldn't be getting a love confession, could I, but his glare told me not to take it that far.

“Like as in like?”I tried again and he nodded satisfied. I couldn't help but smile. He clearly wouldn't give up the challenge just yet.

“I like you too.” I said in return and kissed him again before snuggling against his chest. Glancing up I saw the radiating smile on his face which stirred a warm, fuzzy feeling inside me.

-

“Ah Shizuka, you're back.” Temari greeted me, seeing me pass her doorway. I had just returned from my lesson with Kou-sensei and I'm happy to inform that he was glad with the bull's eye I threw. As reward for once I didn't get homework.

“What are you doing?” I asked noticing that she was packing her backpack.

“I've got a mission. I'll be gone for about three-four days.”

“Oh… what kind? A? B?” I couldn't help but worry a little, that something bad would happen. I guess I would worry even more if it was Gaara going on a mission, because for the Kazekage to go something must be really wrong.

“B, but don't worry I'll be back before you know it.” She waved her hand reassuringly at me.

“Oh yeah, what did you do to my dear little brother?” She eyed me playfully.

“What do you mean?” I asked not getting it. `I didn't do anything special… or maybe it's the `I like you' part.'

“One moment he's almost glowering and the other it's like he's angry.” Surprised I watched her raise her backpack.

“The glowering part I can answer, but not the angry part. He was already like that when I got home yesterday.” Now Temari frowned.

“Didn't you two go out together?”

“Yeah, but I asked him to teleport Aya home.” I explained, but clearly not enough.

“Aya?”

“Keiko's daughter.”

“Oh yeah, I heard some bad things about her. You better be careful.” She warned me. I couldn't help but think that everyone was warning me for her.

“So everyone keeps telling me, but I guess something happened on his way back.” I went back to the Gaara topic.

“Hmm, well as long as he doesn't tell us about it, we can't help him. So, now what is the glowering reason?” A blush crawled on my cheeks making the blonde even more curious.

“He told me he likes me and I said it back.”

“What that's so sweet!” Temari squealed and I could feel the temperature of me face rise even more.

“Actually, I think he first wanted to say `I love you' but he stopped at the `I lo…'.” I confessed, making the woman in front of me stare at me with stars in her eyes.

“Sweet! He actually made a love confession.”

“Not really.” I interrupted her. “He didn't say it completely. He still doesn't want to lose the challenge.” I reminded her and Temari sighed defeated.

“When will he learn love is more important than some stupid challenge.”

“One day, I promise.” I smiled.

“I'll be waiting for that day, but now I really have to go.” The backpack got tossed over her shoulder and with a last wave she walked away.

-

“Gaara?” I knocked and popped my head in his office. I noticed three ninja's in front of his desk and to my displeasure the rude friend of Matsuri was one of them. Looking back at the Kazekage I noticed his face relax a little.

“You're busy I'll come back later.” I said ready to disappear again but just like yesterday sand had already wrapped itself around my wrist and was pulling me to the redhead. He pulled me against him and laid his arm around my waist.

“We're done.” He said in a low tone to me before looking back to the three in front of us.

“You can leave now.” The three bowed and for the first time I noticed the constipated look on the rude nin. When they had rushed outside I could feel the arm around me relax completely. I hadn't even noticed he had tensed again.

“What's wrong?” I asked now certain something was wrong.

“You're not a whore.” He said serious to my surprise.

“Yeah, I know.” I answered with a confused look on my face.

“I do respect you.” He continued, making me even more confuse. I held his face between my hands and pressed my forehead against his.

“Who has been putting those filthy words in your head?” I stared intensely in his eyes while caressing his cheeks. For a second his eyes glanced at the door, but that was enough for me.

“So, she made her move?”I asked separating our heads.

“You know her?” The surprised voice came out.

“Yeah and we didn't really get along.” My hands replaced themselves around his neck.

“Don't listen to her. She's just jealous.” I mumbled and gave him a butterfly kiss on the lips while settling myself on his lap. He seemed to take it all in and accept it.

“Would you like presents?” He asked throwing me of balance.

“Presents? Where did that come from?”

“Kankuro has already giving Matsuri a ring.” He explained.

“His present to her was a ring? They only have been together for a couple of days!” I exhaled surprised.

“Yes… so, do you want something?” Now getting where he came from, I couldn't help but smile.

“You… naked wrap up on my bed and I'll be very happy.” I chuckled seeing his shocked face. He clearly hadn't thought that I could come up with something like that. “But seriously… I don't need anything… although getting something is always nice.” I admitted.

“So, what?” The redhead asked again.

“Anything is fine with me.” I noticed his struggling face and could read his thoughts. Now he still didn't know what to buy.

“You're so cute.” I chuckled, making him shoot out of his thoughts.

“Cute?” He asked shocked which made him only cuter in my opinion. “You're the first one to ever call me cute.” He mumbled and I couldn't help but laugh.

“I think that if you keep glaring everyone to death they're not going to call you cute.” He pouted playfully. “So, how do you know that Kankuro gave Matsuri a ring?” I changed the subject.

“He came to me for advice since I trained her.” My mouth made an `O' shape.

“And what was the meaning behind it? I can't see him already asking her hand in marriage.”

“He wanted her to wear something that tells everyone that she's his.” I couldn't help but find that sweet.

“He's really a softy at heart, isn't he?” Without a second thought Gaara nodded.

-

Very quickly the week of the bet had passed and to my relief had the rude ninja not even been one meter near Gaara again. And since I had convinced the red head to make it public that I was his concubine… she was so going to kiss my feet. The Kazekage did say since I would be his official concubine that I would need to switch rooms into the one next to his. Not one word of complain had left my lips hearing this.

“Which obi goes best with this kimono?” I asked turning to Temari, who had succeeded her mission in just two days to my relief and Matsuri, who we had gotten to know very well since she came over almost every day.

“I would go with the white one, it gives you a more innocent appearance with the light blue of the kimono.” Kanky's girl said and when I looked at Temari she also nodded.

“White it is then.” With their help I finished dressing and made my way outside where Gaara was waiting for me.

“Ready?”He asked linking arms with me.

“Yeah, I'm ready.” Under cheers and applauses we walked on the terrace that looked out over the people beneath us.

“I'm happy to see everyone here today.” The Kazekage started his speech. I looked out over the crowed, searching for the rude ninja. I found her on the side leaning in the shade of a building clearly not happy with what was going to be expected of her. Continuing my search through the people I found Aya with some friends and behind her, her parents and aunt.

Kaeda was cheering like a made woman while Keiko was glaring at the people around them. Then Gaara linked our hands and everyone cheered even harder. A small smile was present on the Kazekage's face which only made the crowed happier.

I noticed the rude ninja straighten herself and walk over to one of the ANBU underneath the terrace. They exchanged words and the ANBU looked up at me. I nodded giving the sign that she could come up and they teleported next to us. Under Gaara's watchful eye the rude ninja bowed and after a small hesitation she pressed her lips against the leather of my sandal.

After that she quickly jumped back up bowed to us and teleported back down with the ANBU under Gaara's glare. He clearly didn't like her very much after their first encounter.

Wrapping his arms around me the redhead pulled me closer and together we watched over the people that where cheering us on. In my daze of happiness I didn't noticed the hateful glare Keiko was giving me.

Stephke23: The rude nin did kiss Shizuka's feet like she should. Hehe. And for you who don't get what was wrong with Gaara. After he brought Aya home he had an encounter with the rude nin. She said some bad things about Shizuka which made him doubt if he treated her good enough. But it did lead to him saying he liked Shizuka. Sigh. Review please!
