Hi! I know I usually post things and then don't continue them… But this time I'm trying a Gaara fan-fic! I think this should keep my interest sense it's about him, but I'm sure reviews would help to… *hint, hint* . Anyways, I do not own Naruto sadly (insert all the dramatics here) But I do own Ai Shinigami, and any story changes that differ from the show! So, I think I'm done ranting for now! Bye readers (hopefully reviewers!)

….

I walked down the brick fence as if it were a tight rope, my arms outstretched on either side of me as I let the cool desert night wind blow carelessly through my dark brown hair. I sighed knowing there probably wasn't anyone or anything that could keep me from boredom at the moment. I stopped walking and twirled around searching for something of interest. I smiled once my eyes settled on a park near where I stood. Jumping down from the fence, I made my way toward it, brushing the dirt off my black shorts. I skipped up to the gates and hopped over them and scanning the area. I spotted a red headed boy sitting on a swing holding onto what looked like a teddy bear. He stared straight at me as soon as my boots touched the ground. I smiled nervously and threw up a peace sign. "Um, hi." I spoke in attempt to break the silence. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but paused as a look of confusion, and shock, dawned his pale features. I walked up to him and sat on the swing next to his, swaying back and forth slightly. He clutched his bear to his chest tightly. "He sent you didn't he?" He asked in a pained voice. "Hm…well if by 'he' you mean boredom, then yeah sure." I said blankly. He looked at me oddly, almost hesitantly. "You're…You're not an assassin?"He asked slowly and with a pained look in his eyes. I looked at him confused before replying, "Of course not! I'm a traveler." I said smiling at him.

"I can prove it too." I said before pulling out a scroll from my jacket pocket. "Here." I said handing it to him. He raised a non-existent eyebrow before slowly opening it. I looked at it with him and smiled. It was a map of all the places I've been and all the places I can go to get stronger. He handed it back to me and then looked at me seriously. "You're not an assassin…and yet you don't seem afraid of me. Why?"He asked somewhat sadly. "Well I haven't got a reason to fear you, have I now?" I stated more than asked. "But I'm a monster!" He spoke louder this time. I shook my head in response. "A monster likes to make people fear them, and they never have that sad look in their eyes as you do. You're not a monster." I smiled a tiny bit, while he only looked shocked. I giggled softly at this. "So… What's your name?" I asked trying to change the subject. It took him awhile to answer, and when he did it was in almost a whisper. "Gaara… And you?" He asked looking at me. "Ai… Ai Shinigami. It's nice to meet you Gaara-kun. So, is there anything fun to do around here?" I asked him looking around. "I don't know… I don't normally have 'fun'." He said blankly. I stood up quickly and grabbed Gaara's free hand and brought him to his feet. "I shall change that Gaara-kun!" I giggled softly at his expression before dragging him along, before suddenly coming to a halt, and poking him gently in the chest. "You're it." I smiled and turned around skipping away.

After I was comfortable with the distance between us, I charged chakra to my feet and leaped up on a roof. I looked back to the road and smiled as I saw Gaara looking around confusedly. "Maybe this will one of my better adventures…" I whispered to myself before lying down on the roof and looking up at the moon. It was a full moon. My favorite, and in the desert, it only looked more beautiful than when the other villages lights would have taken bits of its view from the townspeople. I jumped slightly and sat up when I heard Gaara land on the roof. He was smiling, and I had to admit he looked cute. When he was close enough to me I pulled him down by his hand. "Isn't it pretty Gaara-kun?" I asked softly. "Yeah…" He said looking up. I yawned tiredly and looked over at Gaara. "Hey Gaara-kun, do you know if you're comfy?" I asked him seriously, which only earned me a confused look from him. I rolled my eyes and soon rested my head against his shoulder and closed my eyes. "You are..." I said closing my eyes and falling quickly to sleep.
