Love Lee's Room

She shook no rapidly and burried her face closer to her knees.

He frowned. "What happened..?"

She shivered and nodded at the bed not wanting to talk feeling that she might cry or embarass herself by telling.

He looked to the bed, then back to her, not really catching her drift. "...?"

And then he caught on, well.. somewhat, at least. "Oh.. um..?"

She held the sides of her face trying to stop shaking and uttered out, "He-hu-hurt me...." She blinked hard avoiding tears.

"Who did?"

She didn't want to say it feeling it didn't matter since they were related and shook no. Gaara might not've cared if she told him who it was so she kept quiet.

"I can't help you much if you don't tell me who did this to you.."

She looked around and then whispered, "Your brother..."

"Kankuro?" He glared, then sighed, shaking his head. "What a dim wit.. I'm sorry he has put you through this. I will do everything in my power to help you cope with this situation, please, say anything you need and I will give as much as I can."

She looked up at him from her knees and bit her lip, "Do not fire me..." she begged. "I will not be reckless again I promise..." Her mind was racing for she predicted the end of her position if she disobeyed one of the rules those who offered her the job told her and having affairs or invading the masters siblings lives was wrong.

"I wasn't planning on doing that. I'm not holding anything against you." He gave the slightest smile. "I would not fire you because of what relations you had with my brother."

She teared and shook her head trying not to shame herself in front of him by crying, "But I feel inside that I am....stupid. I am too gullable-too eager to be liked that now I got into this mess....Tell me Gaara-am I stupid?"

"No, your not stupid. Your not stupid at all." He shook his head, frowning. "Why do you feel that you are too gullible?"

"Because...I gave in to him all because I trusted him and I was terribly wrong to since I just met him."

"You weren't wrong, it wasn't your fault he did that. You trusted him, and he decided to lose that trust from such a kind hearted person. And what he did was horrible, I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to get him back."

"Get him back?" she asked.

"If you want to, you can."

"Um...you mean revenge?"

"Yes, that is what revenge is, is it not?"

She smiled sheepishly to herself and looked at him through reddened eyes while flexing her fingers. "You do not mind?"

He smirked. "Not at all."

She wiped her eyes on her wrist and glanced about before glomping him into a big hug. She didn't want to show she was crying but wanted to thank him.

He fell over, surprised, ending with them in a strange position on the floor. "Heh.. your welcome..?"

She shivered a bit from crying and refused to let go till she was presentable again. Small whimpers could be heard from her.
