Sasuke leaned out his window and stared up at the moon. He pulled a picture out of his pocket. It showed him as a child with one of his old friends. He stared at the young girl in the picture and sighed, "I was so close to saving you."
He walked over to his bed and shut off the light. He had nightmares all night of the night his brother killed his clan.
Star looked up at the moon and smiled. She turned to face her longtime friend, Gaara, and beamed.
"What are you so happy about?" He asked coldly.
"The Chunin exams are starting soon, so we have to go to the land of fire! I haven't been there since I was taken away from home. Plus I know in my gut that Sasuke survived!" She spoke confidently.
"You know he probably isn't. You say it yourself all the time. If he was alive, you would've found each other by now." He replied grimly.
"You never know!" She said as she clapped her hands together.
"Time to go already?" He asked.
"Yup! Early to bed, early to rise sweet Gaara. I'll see you in the morning!" She smiled as she went out the door.
She went to bed and dreamt all night of meeting Sasuke again. She hadn't seen her best friend in so long.
