While Gaara went shopping, Harjuna and Tenten went shopping as well, Harjuna picked out a nice white dress that was knee length and it had glitter on it. It was dazzling. It had thin straps to it. She also bought matching shoes as well. After shopping for clothes they went to the salon and Harjuna had gotten her hair cut. She looked way adorable. At home, harjuna waited for Gaara with Tenten's company.
|
Gaara made a hand sign and was instantly in his room. No one knew he was home. He dressed in the dazzling suit and combed his unruly, blood red hair. He was trying to cover the dark circles around his eyes with foundation, but he ended up taking off the makeup. He walked down stairs and saw Harjuna. He gasped she was beautiful.
|
She blushed when she saw Gaara. She felt her heart skip a beat. "Y-You look really great Gaara." She said with a smile. She felt nervous and weird since her long hair was now gone and it was short. She twirled the short strands of her hair looking at Gaara a little shyly. He could tell she was probably nervous.
|
Gaara had a stupid look on his face as he gaped. Tenten cleared her throat. Gaara snapped out of it. "You're quite beautiful Harjuna, as usual." he walked her outside to the car. When they were there, they were taken to their seats and given good wine and menus. Gaara was blushing a bit and all of the waitresses and waiters were staring and whispering in their direction. Gaara said he had to get up for a moment. He then knealed beside her on one knee. "Harjuna..will you marry me?" Gaara held a box with a rather pretty diamond ring in it. He had gotten her size from Naruto who had gone through her jewelry.
|
Harjuna was having such a great time eating dinner with the man she loved. She felt so happy. Nothing could make her happier. Or so she thought. Since she couldn't really have wine she drank her water eating her food. Though when Gaara got up she tilted her head wondering where he was off to. Suddenly when gaara was on one knee with a diamond ring her eyes grew wide. "Yes! I will marry you." She said kissing Gaara deeply and passionately. She felt like nothing could bring her down today.
|
Gaara could now officially say he was the happiest man alive. Everyone in the restrant stated. "Aw.." they got from a few people. A little kid wrinkled his nose. "Ew..mushy.." the adults near him laughs. Gaara smiled and put the ring on her finger.
|
Harjuna smiled at Gaara. She felt ecstatic. "Gaara I love you so much. You've made me the happiest woman..or girl In the world." She said blushing. After the ring was on her finger she hugged him tightly. "Probably when we get married my stomach will be already big." she whispered giggling a bit.
|
He stroked her hair. "And you've made me the happiest man or boy or whatever I am." he smiled. "You'll still be pretty, even if you gain some weight.
|
she smiled and hugged him. "I love you so much Gaara. I feel like I can do anything as long as I am with you." She said smiling holding onto him not letting go of him just yet. "I want to stay like this with you forever."
|
He nodded "And I want the same." he paid for the few drinks and got the food Togo. He figured they could eat at home and watch a movie together. He'd even sit through a romantic comedy with her.
|
She smiled at him. After he paid for the food and drinks and took it to go, she went outside to the car with him hand in hand. She felt amazing at this point. Nothing could go wrong at this point. She at least hoped nothing would go wrong in the first place anyways. "This day has been nothing but blissful. First i find out I'm pregnant and then next we are engaged. Nothing could bring me down." she said happily.
|
Gaara went in the house followed by Harjuna. He stared glumly. Sitting in the living room was Temari and Kankuro.
|
She stopped and stood beside Gaara. She felt queasy. Her stomach felt like it was making flips. She held onto Gaara's arm trying to hide the ring on her finger from them. At least she wasn't noticeable by being pregnant. She had her hand on her stomach a bit but she was honestly afraid of Gaara's siblings. No. Afraid was in understatement. She was terrified. Gaara could feel him her hand tightening its grip on his arm. She was shaking.
|
Gaara walked right past them and sat with Harjuna on a vacant couch. The siblings stared at Gaara. "We know everything..were sorry we were so mean Gaara" Temari looked at him sadly. "We've come to help you prepare for your wedding and first child."
|
Harjuna's eyes widened when one of his siblings said they knew everything. It made no sense to Harjuna. How did they know everything. She felt like she was going to be sick. She even looked pale. She felt the room spinning. She even felt warm. Though throughout what Temari was saying, she didn't want any help. "We don't need help building out life. It'll just end up being some sort of charity for you and we will have to pay you back. That's how it always is!" Harjuna shouted. Harjuna was very moody due to her mood swings from her pregnancy. "I don't want you two around me or my fiance or our child if your only going to beat my fiance!" She blurted out. She looked more then angry. Though if her anger rose any more the baby could be in danger. Most of them knew that. Though Gaara would probably be amazed how she faced his siblings like this. "I lives through enough hurt and so has Gaara and I know we are both done with seeing abuse. I will not let our son or daughter be born in a place full of abuse and pain."
|
Gaara looked at his love and gently shushed her. "it's ok baby..just calm down. Everything is ok." he hugged her and gently sat her down. "Just rest. You wouldn't want our little one to be hurt. Everything is fine." Temari looked ashamed. She looked at Harjuna. "You won't have to pay us back...were doing this because if what we've put both of you through. Gaara nodded. "we could use a little help." Temari smiled and handed Harjuna a new baby bottle and pacifier. They were both yellow. She looked at Harjuna. "Can we be friends?"
|
Harjuna just nodded at Gaara sitting down. She didn't really trust his family. She didn't know why. It was probably because from what happened when she had first met Gaara. Everything was so complicated back then. She saw Gaara was always in pain and it terrified her. She couldn't stand her loved ones being hurt. "Okay. But if you dare hurt my fiance you will face severe consequences from me." She told her. Temari could probably tell Harjuna was dead serious.
|
Temari nodded and ran a hand through Gaaras hair and cupped one cheek. "I want to treat my little brother like I should." she kissed his nose like a mother would her child. Kankuro just smiled.
|
Harjuna only nodded and was silent. She honestly didn't feel like she even belonged here sometimes. She was an outsider. Harjuna went upstairs. She did kind of look kind of sad. She felt like she being alone to let Gaara and his siblings talk.Going upstairs Harjuna was silent. She didn't even say she was going to go upstairs. She didn't want to be rude but she felt lonely. When she got upstairs she went to Gaara's room to get changed out of her clothes and the heals she wore were killing her feet. Getting into her pajamas she was thinking about a lot. She stood in front of the full length mirror sighing. She couldn't believe she was having a baby still. She lifted her shirt up to show her tummy. She placed her hand on her stomach. She could even feel there was a baby inside. It scared her but she also thought it was exciting. She stood in front of the mirror for several minutes.
|
Gaara sighed and placed his face in his hands, softly gripping his own hair. Life could be so hard for him at times. His siblings were here and wanted to be a part of his life, yet that seemed to upset Harjuna. They were both family and both important. He hated to admit it, but he cared about Harjuna more. He wanted to throw a tantrum, but kept all of his emotions bottled up. He peaked over his hands at Temari. "Make this talk quick..I need to go talk to Harjuna." Temari stares at Gaara. "It's no fair that you chose her as your baby mother." She said suddenly. Gaara looked confused. "Eh? What do you mean?" Temari frowned. "It's an honor to have your baby Gaara. What if I wanted to he the one to have it." Gaara groaned. "Temari...you're my sister..that would be...well let's just say i don't want a in family relation." he shook his head. Temari could he so damn complicated at times. She looked at him sadly. "Gaara..I love you..not just as your sister. I want you Gaara." he looked at her like she was insane. "Temari...I'm engaged..to the love of my life I might add. You need to find someone else. Someone who can love you...I love Harjuna.." Temari tilted his chin up and pressed her lis to his. His eyes went wide and he tried to push her off. Sheheld his arms down. When she broke the kiss, Gaara stared at her blankly. "Temari..stop..I don't want this with you." Kankuro looked suprized and sat there like a dumbass, his mouth hanging open. Temari kissed Gaara agian. "I will have you Gaara. I always get what I want." Gaara bolted away from her, up the stairs to his room. He sat down beside Harjuna. "Ugh! My family is so messed up!"
|
Harjuna wanted to check up on Gaara to see if she upset his family though she peeked seeing what temari said and did. she actually had tears rolling down her cheeks. she rushed upstairs unnoticeable. when Gaara was upstairs she didn't know what to say. "I thin I'm just going to go to bed." she said softly. her tone was softer then usual. She layed down still her back facing towards him as she pulled the covers over her head. She was defiantly going to let Temari help her with the baby. When it was morning, Harjuna got up though she gave a glare to Temari. "If you think Gaara is going to leave me for his sister you have another thing coming. Don't come near Gaara or me. You are not going to be involved in this baby's life if you are just going to get me fiance in bed with you!" She shouted. Harjuna stormed out of the house slamming the door on the way out. If Gaara was asleep. She was extremely upset. She decided to go for a walk to cool down but she was truly scared what was going to happen. she still had tears rolling down her cheeks.
|
Gaara sighed. "I'm going for a walk..see you in the morning.." he grabbed his gourd and made a one handed sign. He was gone in seconds. He ended up at a large bridge. He looked into the lake. The starlight reflected in it along with the moon. It was pretty and there were clouds in the sky even darker than the darkness of night. Gaara knew it would rain and sure enough, within minutes it was pouring down. Thunder crackled and lightning light the sky. Gaara just sat on the bridge like it was perfectly normal to sit on a bridge in a thunder storm. A girl saw him and ran away screaming that he was a ghost. Her mother came ti see what her child was talking about, bit Gaara had climbed a nearby tree to escape being seen. The girl described the 'ghost'. Her mother sighed softly. "Gaara.." she whispered. The woman was Sakura. She had not known Gaara was in kohana. She figured he was in Suna. Had he died and hated the bridge? Not likely. Gaara climbed down as the woman turned her back. He stood by the bridge with his arms crossed. Sakura turned around as more lightning allowed her to see. She saw Gaara's form. She gasp. "Gaara?'" she ran towards him and the lightning was gone and all was dark. He had escaped by the time she was where he had been. Sakura paled and grabbed her child. She ran ti Naruto's house and busted in. She was shaking and looked sick. She saw Naruto. "Naruto..I think Gaara's dead.." Naruto dropped a plate and it shattered. Temari and Kankuro heard it all the way upstairs.
---------- Add; With Harjuna gone, she would have no idea until she got back. It was still raining and very dark. Temari stared. "Dead?" she doubted he was dead. |
Harjuna didn't even have the guts to go back inside to Gaara's house. she knew where she stood. she didn't belong. She stayed outside but if she did much longer the baby could be in great danger. she walked back inside eventually though her eyes widened seeing Gaara.
|
Gaara laid on the couch in a state of panic. He could hear their voices, but his body refused to move.
He couldn't open his eyes. What if they burried him? He was freaking out. Temari had tears all down her face and her voice was odd. She yelled at Harjuna. "This is all your fault." Kankuro looked at Temari. "Um...Temari It's probabaly more your fault..She screamed. "It's not my fault! I didn't do anything!". |
"Kankuro is right this is your right. If you didn't kiss my fiance then none of this wouldn't have happened!" Harjuna shouted. "I love Gaara more then anything and your willing to risk anything to break us up so you can have him all to yourself. Well you can't. Gaara isn't an item! He's my fiance and the father of this child. He loves me and I love him and he loves this child more then anything! You are not going to ruin Gaara's life." she said glaring. "Now i get why you were here. You wanted to become friends with me so when i would let my guard down you would take him away from me." she said with her head down. "I don't understand...I don't want to loose everything I have worked so far for. I can't..." She said softly. "I can't begin to understand what you want from him. He's your brother not your lover. Are you willing to actually ruin his chance at being happy with me!?" She asked.Though when Temari looked away from her direction Harjuna had fallen onto her knees. She didn't even look so good. "Just take care of Gaara..." Harjuna said softly. she had her head down the entire time.
