My scream had woken up everyone. Only a couple of seconds after Gaara had caught me. Temari and Kankuro had rushed into my room. The blonde let out a little scream when she saw what was lying on my bed.

“Temari take Shizuka to my office and Kankuro get those guys from the poison lab.” Gaara ordered them. He pressed a reassuring kiss on my hair and let his sister pull me out of the room.

“You okay?” Temari asked once I was sitting in the Kazekage's chair behind the desk.

“The…poor…rat.” I mumbled still in shock, but feeling sorry for the little animal even in his death they didn't leave him alone.

“Yeah…people should respect the dead even if it's an animal.” The blonde said in agreement.

“But…how did they get into my room?” I asked; which was one of the many questions that were floating around in my head.

“It isn't easy to get into the private quarters. It must have been someone the ANBU downstairs trusted for them to let that person pass.”

“Or someone of higher rank, like a council member.” I exclaimed like I had just solved 6000 piece puzzle.

“I know what you're thinking and no it couldn't have been Daisetsu, in order of his wife, Keiko. He wouldn't gain anything and Keiko wouldn't be allowed to pass.” Temari said shaking her head in emphases.

“You sure she wouldn't be able to get pass them? They're not always at their posts!” I said referring to the ANBU.

“You should know that they find it more fun when nobody knows where they are.” The blonde shrugged. I could see the way ANBU make a game out of the boring job.

“But your thought of a council member, could actually be true. There's only one who I might see with the potential to go that far.”

“Really! Who is it?” I asked shocked.

“Eho, she's the youngest woman on the council, her age range is something, around thirty with bright purple eyes that stand out. She has made it quite clear she doesn't like Gaara as the Kazekage.” Temari gave me a quick description. I searched through my memories, but couldn't remember a woman with purple eyes.

“You'll recognize her immediately from the moment you see her.” My friend put me at rest, noticing my look. Then we saw sand appear in the office and not much later Gaara had joined us. His sister's eyes followed him walking towards me; the look in them demanded him to report his findings.

“Whoever it was isn't near the tower anymore.” The redhead said stopping behind the chair I was sitting in.

“No one suspicious...” Temari mumbled to herself. “The culprit could already have left the village, who knows, when that rat was placed in Shizuka's bed.” She continued looking at her brother.

“I don't think they have left. It was a warning and they'll want to see what our reaction is.” He answered.

“And what is our reaction going to be?” I asked looking up at the redhead behind me. I noticed his thoughtful look, he was planning something.

“Maybe we should hide you in Konoha.” He said in the end to my surprise. I had thought that he would want me constantly near him. “But for my plan to work you should know how to transform.” He continued and glanced at his sister to see if she got his plan.

“Oh, you want us to switch places?” She said surprised and Gaara nodded.

“In about a week Nara Shikamaru is being expected to arrive. Nobody will find it strange if you, his girlfriend left with him to Konoha.” I could see the surprise on Temari's face that her brother accepted her as Shikamaru's girlfriend.

“You want me to learn to transform in one week?” I said in a shocked voice. I needed a lot more time, I wasn't Naruto. I couldn't even control my chakra at will.

“Two weeks, Shika is staying for one week.” Temari corrected me.

“Two weeks?…Alright, I'll do my best.” I thought.

“And if you would succeed you would be at the genin level.” The blonde continued with a smile.

“Really?” I looked from her to Gaara with wide eyes. The Kazekage nodded also with a faint smile on his lips. He would be proud to make me a genin.

“Great, then I have to start training!” I jumped up from the chair ready for action.

“Good idea, but start tomorrow. I'm going back to bed. Good night.” And with a small wave Temari left us alone.

“We should also be going to sleep.” Gaara said eying the yawn I was trying to stifle. I had almost forgotten that it was still night.

“Yeah… and we're definitely sleeping in your room.” I joked a little. I felt his hand on my back and I let him guide me back to his room.

-

When we reached our rooms I crawled closer to Gaara eying the door of my room, remembering what had been behind it. Quickly the redhead pushed me in his room where I relaxed again. I heard the door fall in his place and when I turned around a pair of lips landed on mine. Deepening the kiss I wrapped my arms around the Kazekage's neck, twirling the red locks around my fingers.

Air became necessity and the connection between our lips broke. The redhead descended to my neck, leaving marks all over. A moan crept out of my mouth and my fingers tighten around his hair. His hand slipped under my shirt and cupped my breast, kneading it a little before teasing my nipple with his nail.

“Ga-ara…” I panted and started to open his red coat. Gaara released me for a second to drop it to the ground and to my delight I noticed that he was wearing a fishnet top underneath it. Teasingly I licked his nipple through it and felt a shudder go through the delicious body in front of me. Smirking I let him remove my shirt and bra and let him attack my breast again, but this time with his mouth.

Without releasing it he picked me up and walked over to the bed. He laid us down and his lips descended to my stomach only stopping at my waistband. He opened my pants and pulled it down together with my panty in one smooth movement.

Before he could go back to his earlier occupation I was pulling at his pants and pouting as sign that he had to lose it. Smirking Gaara crawled off the bed and gave me a seductive striptease. Once he was naked I pulled him back on me claiming his lips. He let me take the lead and I turned us around. I adored Gaara's chest as he did to mine and did my best to mark him. Satisfied I took in my work and smirked.

`This is the first time I've marked him.' I caressed the hickey above his left nipple and gave it a quick kiss before rising and capturing his lips. Gaara clearly couldn't hold out anymore and raised my hips before thrusting into me. Surprised, but in pleasure I fell down on the redhead, who kept moving me.

“Ga-aah!” Automatic I started to move myself grabbing a fistful of sheets on both sides of Gaara's head.

“Shizuka…hnn…” I kissed him again and screamed when I felt him release inside me triggering my own climax. Satisfied I let him slip out of me and snuggled back against him. His arms accepted me greedy.

-

Still sleepy I rolled around to end up entangled in the warm sheets, but during my rolling I noticed something odd. To be certain I rolled again and just like the first time I noticed that my bed was moving with me. A little scared I opened my eyes and jumped up when I discovered to my surprise that I was in some kind of sand bed. Taking in the rest of my surroundings I realized that I was in Gaara's office. My sleeping corner was isolated from the rest by a sand curtain.

I wrapped the sheet around me and tried to lay my hand on the curtain, but the sand started to retreat from my touch. Surprised I watched from the opening that could contain my head and saw the Kazekage working at his desk.

“Gaara?” I asked still a little confused.

“You sleep well?” He asked without looking up.

`He probably noticed I woke up.' I muttered. The redhead wrote the last signature on the paper, let out a sigh while laying the paper on a big pile next to him and finally looked at me.

“You've already done that whole pile?” I asked shocked. `How long have I been sleeping here?' The Kazekage nodded and got up from his seat. He walked over to me, making the opening larger, till he could sit next to me on the sand bed.

“And why am I sleeping here?” I asked snuggling in his arms.

“I wasn't going to leave you alone in my room.” Hearing this, the unpleasant memories of last night came back.

“Thanks.” I said silently. Only the thought of waking up all alone in the room next to mine was sending chills down my spine.

“Where are my clothes?” I asked shaking the awful memories to the back of my head.

“Clothes?” Hearing this I looked up sarcastically.

“Do you want me to run around naked?” Gaara's eyes got a considering look and I poked him in his stomach.

“Don't even think about it.” A pout made the other's regret clear.

“Oh, you really would want me to leave your office naked?” I teased and his eyes widened in protest.

“Kidding. You really are too cute you know.” I kissed the redhead's lips.

“You can run around naked, but only when you're alone with me.” Gaara answered seriously when our mouths had separated again. I couldn't help but smile at this and wanted to say something back, but we got interrupted by Temari.

“Oh Kami, why does it look like you two just did it?”

“We didn't just do it!” I yelled our defense.

“It happened a couple of hours ago.” Gaara mumbled, making me jab him with my elbow. I glared at him while straightening the sheet around me.

“Well, I just came to inform you that Kou-san is waiting in the training room.” The blonde gave us a last glance before leaving the office again shaking her head.

“Alright, teleport me back to my room!” I cheered snuggling back against the Kazekage. “The rat is gone right?” I asked to be certain and when he nodded I got back to snuggling while the sand curtain was starting to swirl around us.

-

After a quick inspection of my room, it was like the rat had never been here, I showered and dressed myself where after Gaara guided me to the training room. Only when I was safely in Kou-sensei's care did he leave.

“Are you alright? I heard what happened last night.” My sensei asked concerned. I could imagine the story going through the village like a whirlwind.

“Yeah, and as you can see Gaara only leaves me with people he trusts or else he'll chain me to him.” I chuckled, not that I was complaining. I was happy that I was spending more time with him then a couple of weeks ago when I only saw him at night.

“I'm certain that nothing bad will happen to you under his watchful eye.” I smiled at this. For the rest of the training I learned out to control my chakra and I'll admit that it isn't easy. At the end of the lesson I couldn't help but question myself if two weeks were going to be enough to learn how to transform.

I said goodbye to Kou-sensei, who only wanted to leave me when I promised to stay next to the ANBU we had crossed in the hallway. Watching him disappear around the corner I sighed and turned to the ANBU.

“So, where do you hide when you don't want us to see you?” I asked conspiracy. The nin chose to ignore me.

“Shizuka!” Surprised I twirled around and noticed Aya with Kaeda behind her running towards me. I got a big hug from the girl.

“She was scared that something would happen to you since we crossed Kou-sensei.” Kaeda explained her cousin's behavior.

“Don't worry, this guy here…” I wanted to point to the ANBU behind me, but he was gone. “He's mocking me I can so feel his eyes on me.” I mumbled angrily, glancing around me. “ANBU's are just plain weird.” I sighed in the end.

“So, what are we going to do?” I asked. I knew that Kaeda was again playing bodyguard since Gaara hadn't showed up.

“Well, this little girl's birthday is coming up and I promised that we would go look for a present.” Aya's eyes threw the best pleading look she could make at me.

“I'm in. So, how old are you becoming?”

“Twelve, I'm definitely not a little girl anymore.” She glared at her aunt, who just laughed the threat away.

“Twelve, then you're almost graduating.” I remembered that Naruto was twelve when the show started.

“Yeah, over a couple of months is the last transformation exam.” She said proudly.

`She at least has a couple of months I only have two weeks.' I couldn't help but compare the two. “I'm sure you're going to pass without fail.” I smiled. The girl almost shined from happiness and hopped in front of us out the Kazekage tower. She led us to the weapon store and turned around before, beaming us with the pleading eyes again.

“Fine, but your mother isn't going to be happy with such a present.” Kaeda lectured her, but Aya almost jumped in the air and rushed in the store. We went after her and Kaeda quickly accelerated when she saw her cousin ogling the weird sword that had caught my eye last time.

“Definitely…not…that!” Aya pouted, but knew not to press her luck and went to look at another sword.

“So, how did the Kazekage find your new nightwear?” Kaeda asked teasingly while her eyes glanced at me for a second.

“Oh, I haven't used it yet.” I mumbled. I had actually almost completely forgotten about my new lingerie set.

“You're keeping it for a special occasion?” My friend continued while her face got a curious look. She really wanted to see what Aya had picked up. She signed me to follow her towards her cousin.

“Maybe…” I smiled answering her question and got a smirk back.

“What about this?” Aya asked showing something that looked like an axe and we both called her nuts with our faces. Pouting the girl put it back and walked to another table.

“She really wants something big, doesn't she?” I asked and Kaeda nodded.

“She probably wants to break through her mother's cage. Keiko wasn't that happy when she chose to become a ninja and if she would come home with such a big weapon…” I imagined Shori's older sister with a face like her world had ended and couldn't help but chuckle.

“Kaeda-neechan, what about this?” Aya showed up in front of us with a katana that was decorated with hooks.

“No honey, can't you choose something less… big?” Her aunt asked almost pleadingly.

“Oh, I guess.” The disappointed child went to put the katana back. I looked around and my eye got caught by a small knife. Curious I picked it up and accidentally pushed a button making a thin sword shoot out of it.

“Aya, what about this?” The girl's face appeared in my view and her eyes shone again watching the weapon in my hand. Kaeda gave me a displeasured look, but when I turned it back in a simple knife she seemed to change her mind.

“If you only show it in this form to your mother she isn't going to kill me.” She told her cousin as an okay sign.

-

One happy girl left with us the store.

“Oh, Aoi. I'm going to show her my new weapon.” Before Kaeda or I knew it Aya had disappeared around a corner.

“Wait, Aya!” We ran after her and I noticed that we were running to an isolated place.

“I have a bad feeling.” I mumbled and saw Kaeda glance worriedly at me, but we couldn't leave Aya alone. We saw the girl run through a gate and her aunt pulled a couple of ninja stars out of her bag. She glanced once more at me and I nodded that I was ready for a fight if it would go that far. Now it was our turn to run through the fence and once on the other side we heard the gate fall close. Kaeda jumped behind me, back to back, eying the nins on the gate.

“We really appreciate this visit, ladies.” A big guy said in front of me while holding Aya hostage. Next to them stood the other girl, Aoi, who quickly transformed back in her true form. A young man with white dreadlocks appeared in her place.

Stephke23: And now I have to stop or you'll be waiting even longer for this chapter. But like you can see the second attempt is less subtle. Review like always (I always get more in the mood to write when you do).
