"Does everyone get married right away?" Rose shifted her feet. "My parents didn't they weren't married till I was five."

Mayuzuki grinned."oh no,some people don't get married right away....Gara and I didn't get married until Yuki was two",she said thoughtfuly."there were times he thought i would just take off on him and take the kids,he was so worried i'd see him as a monster..did the kids ever tell you i proposed to him?"

"No." Rose smiled at her. "Thought that sounds like him. Am I an awful person for not liking the sand village?

Mayuzuki smiled."no your not horrible for not likeing it.You just have your prefreces...",she said calmly."besides,i use to hate the sand village when i was growing up, couldn't wait to leave it...then I met Gaara",she said softly."And I found a reason to love it.....",she smiled softly."sure there are day's when I wished Gaara and I HAD MOVED,BUT ,gAARA HAD FINALY MADE PEOPEL SEE HIM FOOR WHAT i ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS....and ,he was happy so that made me happy....there is also ,this part of you,when you really love somone,your willing to do this give and take thing...."

"What if I want to be selfish and not go to the sand village?" Rose scowled. "Besides isn't it a little soon for him to be asking me this stuff?" she studied her hands. "I'm not ready for that kind of commitment."

Mayuzuki blinked a bit looking confused then got teh idea."oh honey,if anything if the time comes and he does ask you,I'm sure he would do what would make you happy,that's just the way he is",she sm,iled."and knowing what you want isn't being selfish...."

"Thanks Mayuzuki." Rose hugged the woman. "I'm glad someone understands." she smiled. "But I don't want Kai to give up his dreams for me. Stuck been a rock and a hard place."

Mayuzuki smiled."well,he might try to become a leaf village member and then try to become Kohage",she said thougtfully and holding her close."i just ask that you talk to him too,he cares about you a lot,I can tell",she grinned."fpr a boy,he ,ay be more understanding then you think"

"OK." Rose stood and head back in hugging Kai from behind.

Mayuzuki smiled following and sat back down to finish.

Kai , lost in his own thoughts blinked a bit looking to Rose."hey, you okay?"

"Never better." Rose smiled at Kai. "Kai...did...where you trying to see if I would marry you?"

Kai twitched slightly."no,I was just curious that's all".he said softly

"Kai I love you but I'm not ready for that kind of commitment." Rose rested against his back.

Kai nodded."I know,its fine",he said softly

"Good." Rose smiled. "I just want you to know that I still love you."

Kai smiled back at her."good,cause I love you too"

"Are you mad?" Rose asked looking at the ground.

Kai smirkrf and managed to turn around and gently made her look at him."never.I could never be mad at you"

"Sure you could." Rose smiled. "can't be happy with everything I do."

Kai laughed a bit."true,well if i ever get mad at you, i cant stay mad at you"

"True I can pull one heck of a puppy face." Rose giggled softly then gave him a soft kiss.

Kai grinned and carefully kissed her bac."that you can"

"Know." Rose turned to the others. "Let's get this started."

kAI SMILED A BIT AND WENT TO HIS MOTHER HUGGING HER TIGHTLY."MOM,BE CAREFUL OKAY?"

Mayuzuki smiled."oh i will hun, we have some of the best guards of the sand village esscorting me"
