"Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?"-Alfred Lord Tennyson

Gaara entered his home. But everything seemed different. It was peaceful. He didn't know what had caused this feeling, but he really liked it. Then he saw someone. It was a girl about his age with short pink hair. She had emerald green eyes and she was wearing a white dress. "Who are you?" Gaara asked.

"You'll find out soon Gaara-sama." The girl said.

"Where am I?" Gaara asked. If he couldn't get the girl's name, he might as well know where he was. It looked like home, but it didn't feel like it.

"This is where you live." The pink haired girl said. She walked toward a balcony.

"This is where my father goes to think. Anyway, this isn't my home. There's no terror, no fear here. It's just peaceful." Gaara tried to explain to the girl.

She looked at him. "This is your home. You may not recognize it now, but you will."

"What is this? A dream? If this is…the Shukaku must be enjoying himself." Gaara said. He glared at the girl.

She looked at him. The girl tilted her head to the left and back into its original position. "You're not sleeping. You're just… getting a message."

"What message?" Gaara asked. He wasn't used to having these kinds of conversations even if they were in his mind.

"My message to you is that you will find someone who will appreciate you just the way you are, not because you have a demon inside of you, but because you are you." the green eyed girl said.

"When? Where? How?" He asked her.

"You'll find out sooner or later. See you at the chunin exams." The girl said. She disappeared.

"Gaara, are you okay?" Baki asked. They were on their way to Konoha.

"I'm fine." He answered. They had made it to the front gate of Konoha. Baki had given the papers to the guards. They nodded and let Baki and his team proceeds.

Gaara sighed. He was separated from his siblings, but he really didn't care. As long as he doesn't attract attention, he doesn't care. He sensed something and teleported to the place. He saw Kankuro picking on some random kid. "Kankuro, stop it." He said.

"Sorry Gaara." Kankuro said as he placed the kid down.

Gaara noticed a boy with hair that looked like a chicken's butt was staring at him. He ignored him. He saw a kid with blond hair that was spiked all over the place yelling about some nonsense about being the next Hokage. He got down from the tree branch and that's when he saw her. The girl that was standing in front of him looked exactly like the girl from his so called dream. He heard her say, "You must be from Suna. The Leaf's allies."

"Yeah, we are. We're here for the chunin exams." Temari said. Gaara couldn't believe it. He remembered what the girl had said. See you at the chunin exams.

"We'll see you there then." The girl said. Gaara and his siblings turned and left. He still couldn't get over the fact that their voices sounded the same; the girl from his dream and the girl he had just met. I wonder if they're the same person. Why should I care anyway? She'll just run away like the others. Maybe she will and maybe she won't. I was wondering where you were. What was that crazy thing I had earlier this morning? I don't know what happened. For some reason I was blocked out by something. I saw the whole thing though. I think you should avoid that girl. She's seems bad news to me. For once I'll agree with you…this time.

The chunin exams came and soon Konoha was under attack. Gaara saw the girl named Sakura. But all he could think about is killing the raven haired boy. She jumped out in front of him and he pushed her to a tree. His head throbbed with pain. Why do I feel this pain? You just knocked a girl unconscious! So? So? Is that all you can say? I know what that girl wants…she… Gaara was knocked out of the way by a blonde kid who goes by Naruto Uzumaki. The battle continued on and on and he finally lost. That day Gaara realized a lot of things. That boy had saved him from continuing to be a monster. He left with his siblings. I wonder if that Sakura girl is okay. She better. Why do you care? I care because that girl is… Before the Shukaku could say anything more Gaara fell unconscious.

So what did you think? Review to let me know!
