Chapter 11

Dun!

Previously: "Well, Gaara, I have one question for you. What did you do that was bad?" Kai asked.

"Um…well" Gaara thought for a long period of time. "Well…just random stuff."

"Oh, I thought you were going to say that you are a junky or alcoholic. Because I would not let that in my house."

Gaara breathed in relief that she believed him and didn't ask any more of it. "So, where's your house?"

"I get off at eight. So just wonder around, but don't steal anything, I'll get fired. You can go in the back room, and if anyone stops you, just say Kai said I could. Okay?"

"Okay." Hinata answered, looking at the jewelry. She walked with Gaara to the clothes department. No one was around, so it was just the two of them. "Gaara." She said while picking up a dress with pink purls on it. "What random stuff did you do?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean. What did you really do that was so bad?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"Curiosity and that you got really nervous and distant when Kai asked you about it, that's why she didn't push even more to get the answer. She just left it alone, knowing willingly that it made you uncomfortable. So really, what did you do?"

"Nothing that you are interested in, if you know that it makes me uncomfortable, why are you asking? Just leave it alone."

"Curiosity killed the cat. *sighs* Do you have any money?"

"Why?"

"Because I want to buy this dress."

"How much is it?"

"Um…" looks at price tag "$99.99"

"It's one hundred dollars! I don't think I have that much!" pulls out a ten dollar bill "this is all I have!"

"You think ten dollars will pay for this! It's a beautiful dress! It wouldn't only be ten dollars."

Looks at watch "It's half an hour until eight. We better hurry up; I want to meet with her early."

*sighs* "Gaara, how do you think I'm going to pay for this?"

"I don't know, my best thought would be to ask Kai for some money."

"No, I don't want to borrow money, get out of here, and never see her again without paying her back. Give me another suggestion."

"Why don't you find a job? Just a temporary job."

"Gaara! That's a wonderful idea! But you have to find a job too."

"What! I'm not the one who wants a dress that's a hundred dollars! What makes you think I have to too?"

"I don't know, I just don't want to be alone."

"*sighs* fine, but if I get a job as well, it probably won't be the same as yours."

"That's fine. Hey! Since we both are going to have a job! Let's make it a competition! When we get rescued! We have to count our money and see which one has more! You can spend your money however you like, but just remember the competition!"

"Why?"

"Because it will be fun!"

"How?"

"Err, that's enough with the questions! Let's go meet up with Kai!" Hinata grabbed Gaara's arm and pulled him towards the front of the supermarket, looking at Kai.

"Took you two long enough. I have been waiting here for about seven minutes now. I don't like to wait." She said while walking out of the store with Gaara and Hinata following her. "This here is my car." she pointed to the red ford excursion. Kai got in the driver's seat, Hinata got in the passenger seat, and Gaara got in the seats behind them. He was directly behind Hinata.

"So, you have a nice car." Gaara smiled while putting on his seat belt.

Kai looked in the rearview mirror "just wait until you see the house." She drove for about ten to fifteen minutes, then pulled into a large driveway. The premise was about five anchors. Grass covered the land, except for the part that an immense house stood on. It was made of brick, the windows were clear and clean. Everything was outstanding about this house. It was surrounded by an army of roses and lilies; some jasmine was in there as well. The inside of the house was just as big. It was three stories; the first story was the living room, the kitchen, the library, and the game room (which had many electronics). The whole second story was Kai's room that you could go in by only one door. Her room was the biggest; it had a walk in closet and an extremely large bathroom. The third and final story had two quest rooms, each having their own bath rooms and a closet.

"Okay, go three stories up and pick your room while I'll fix us something to eat."

Gaara picked the room on the right. He opened the door slowly, the encounter with the kidnappers made him uneasy about this woman, all people in this town. When he opened the door, all he saw was a bed, dresser, bathroom, closet, television, ceiling fan, and a lamp. "*sigh* nothing…"

"So! Gaara! How you liken' your new room?!" Hinata shouted in his ear.

"Aw! Hinata! Don't do that! Anyway, um…yeah it's okay. And by the way, we aren't staying here; we are calling the police and telling them we are here, to pick us up."

"Fine, you're no fun." Hinata remarked while walking down stairs for supper.

"*sigh* I have a bad feeling about this place."
