A 5 year old Gaara sat alone in a sandbox in Suna. His Head Dropped and his flaming red hair covering his eyes, so your couldn't see the sadness in his jade-green pools.

"why are the always like that? Why do they hate me? What have i done?? why, why do the always run? they always run away..i just wanted to play..." Said the broken hearted little boy.

He dug his spade deeper into the ground and lifted the sand, then watched it fall back down. Gaara liked the sand, he always had, it had alway been his friend, one that could never run away from you or call you a "monster" or a "demon child" or break your heart like the villager people were. Gaara wiped away a tear and kept playing in the sand, until a small sweet voice said. . .

"h-hello i-I'm, I'm Sakura..."

Gaara looked up but didn't see anyone so he turned around, when he did a girl, around his age, with pivk hair and brought sparkling green eyes, was shuffling her feet nervously. his eyes widen at the fact that she had talk to him.

"um hi I-I'm G-Gaara."

Sakura stood there a moment, Gaara was suddenly scared that the villagers had said something bad and that she herd it, got scarred and ran away like the rest.

But those fears vanished when she broke out into a smile and said, "i like that name!" she took a step forward "um Gaara can i please p-play with you?" Gaara sat there gaping at her, then asked

"really?! this isn't a cruel trick? your not playing a mean trick on me are you?" Gaara asked

Sakura cocked her head to one side in confusion. "Of course not! Why would i do something so cruel?"

She smiled at Gaara and it melted his heart.

She sat next to Gaara and giggled. "hehehe" "whats so funny Sakura?"

"This stuff feels funny" She said still giggling and wriggling her toes though the sand.

"What stuff?" asked Gaara confused.

the little girl picked up some of the sand and showed Gaara.

"This stuff!" she exclaimed happily. "this place has lots of it and before now I've never seen it" she continued.

"Really?!" Gaara said shocked

"Yea."

Gaara had a small smile on his face when he said, "its called Sand"

"whats your home like Sakura?"

About 3 hours later

They played for a long time, until the sun was going down.

"Gaara your remind me of my panda bear." the little girl giggled and Gaara blushed. (awwwwwww)

"SAKURAAAAAAAA TIME TO GOOOO!" yelled Sakura's mother.

"YES MOM! I'll be there in a second!!!" Sakura called back.

"Wait! you have go?! now!?" Gaara said in a scarred but much more, a very sad voice.

Sakura saw his sadness and understood how he felt, he had just made a friend, and now she had to leave. She hugged Gaara. He was shocked at first but then closed his eyes and hugged Sakura back. The pulled back and both smiled.

"NOW SAKURA!" Called her Father.

Sakura looked at Gaara and gave him a peck on the cheek before saying.

"goodbye Gaara my panda friend, always remember there is a place for you in my heart.

Gaara watched the girl run to her parents until she was a fading dot in the distance.

"Bye-bye Saku-chan"

THE END!!
