Gaara's Neko

Gaara's Neko Chapter 24

Tsk Tsk Tsk...  Bad Neko, ne?  Poor Gaa-kun!  I actually call him that...

______________________________________________________________________________

When my eyes open, I notice that it's about dawn.

I walk downstairs and make breakfast, before cleaning the livingroom.

Since I've been gone, it has gotten messy.

Kankuro's the first one awake, and he grabs some food mindlessly.

Temari comes down next, and I hand her a plate of food.

Then I make Gaara a plate before making my own.

As soon as I finish, Gaara comes down.

When he notices me he starts towards me, but I walk past him, shoving his plate of food at him.

He grabs it, and then I'm upstairs, going into Kankuro's room.

I eat quickly, before cleaning.

First the bed, the scrolls, the puppets, and the dirty clothes.

Then vacuuming, wiping the windows and surfaces, before putting everything away.

I got all of that done in three hours.

After a year of cleaning the sensei's houses, you get fast at cleaning.

I don't touch Gaara's room, it's doubtlessly immaculate, but I go on to Temari's.

There's a few scrolls out, and some dirty clothes in a pile by the corner, so it's pretty quick.

The next place I go is the bathroom, but I'm hesitant.

I clean the everything in there, and it took me the rest of the day.

I'm not going to repeat what all I had to do.

Then I go to the kitchen and make dinner, filling three plates as fast as possible.

Every time Gaara has come into the same room as me, I left.

I'm really not in the mood to deal with him right now.

Every time I think I've finally satisfied him, he wants something else.

Be different, go back to the way you were, defend yourself, don't touch anyone.

Kankuro corners me in my room after dinner.

"Why are you avoiding him? It's hurting him, you know."

If looks could kill, he'd be six feet underground by now.

"Okay, that's it, I'm out of here! It's always about him!"

I go lock my window.

"It doesn't matter that he's screwed up, I should go and apologize for everything!"

I push whatever was on my floor into my closet.

"He puts me into the Institute, I change, and he doesn't want me to! Oh, I'm SO sorry, Gaara!"

I start to making the bed for whoever's here next.

"Well, that's it! I've had enough! If I haven't payed off my hospital bills, send my master the tab!"

He finaly is able to form a sentance.

"Your master? But isn't that..."

I rearrange the pillows so that they look correct.

"Gaara? No! I don't even know his name, and I don't care! Anywhere is better than here!"

And with that, I slam the door shut, and stalk to the front door.

Just as my hand touches the doorknob, Kankuro comes racing in, intterupting everybody.

"Kitten! Don't go! Are you sure you even want this?"

I fix him with a glare.

"Let me tell you something, Kankuro. I'm sure of a lot of things."

I tilt my head back, looking at him.

"I'm worthless. I'm a servant. I should be dead. If anyone catches me, I'll end up as a sex-slave."

My tail arches over my head as I glare again.

"But I have never, ever, been so sure of anything in my LIFE, as the fact that I am leaving NOW."

And with that, I swing open the door, do a full shift and start walking away from the house.

I can feel their shock from here, before they start to follow me.

"Ataishinai! Get back in here this instant!"

Gaara's usually not that loud.

And now there's sand racing after me.

I run as fast as I possibly can, which is quite fast in full shift.

I can see ths gates just up ahead, before the sand catches me.

Hissing and spitting, I'm brought to a disapproving Gaara.

"Let me go! NOW!"

He simlpy glares as his answer.

"You are not leaving this village, Ataishinai the Neko."

I growl, and he lets a hand stray to my ear.

When he scratches it, I instantly relax, before remembering that I'm leaving.

I close my mouth around his arm.

The sand still acts as armor, but my teeth sink right through it.

He shouts and the sand lets me go for just a second.
