It was a wonderful day in the sand village. Gaara, the present Kazekage, was preparing to visit the village which was busy as usual. On the streets the people were rushing to their jobs. The markets too, were filled with busy customers. Children were playing on the streets, making it noisier than ever. As Gaara made his way through the village, the people started to greet him. Some kids stopped running about and watched Gaara with awe.
As he crossed the markets, Gaara came across a pretty little cottage with a beautiful garden. He was fascinated to see such a lovely garden. It was full of all sorts of desert plants, with insects flying here and there. As he drew nearer, he saw a girl planting accacia seeds.
"Excuse me, does this garden belong to you?"asked Gaara softly.
The girl stood up and was startled to see the Kazekage standing near the gate.
"N-no, this is my granny's garden."answered the girl, hastily.
She was as beautiful as an angel. Her vermilion coloured hair was tied to form a long pony tail. She had a milk rose complexion and a pair of leaf-green eyes which dazzled on her pretty face. Her soft thin hands clutched together as Gaara stood spellbound. After a moment's silence, the kazekage spoke.
"I-I see...w-well...w-what's your n-name?"Gaara stuttered.
"M-my name is Misaki, nice to meet you Kazekage-san. If you need something you can tell me without any hasitation, sir."answered the girl, witha resonating voice.
Gaara quickly gathered himself and once again looked at the garden. The cactuses looked quite pretty.
"If you don't mind, can you give one of those cactuses ?"asked Gaara, slowly making his way into the garden.
"Sure sir! Granny will be very happy to know this. A storm destroyed all the plants and we were not able to sell cactuses for 4 days. Well, untill I get the cactus you can wait in the house." replied Misaki, quite excited.
As soon as Gaara stepped into the house, he was astonished. It was a beautifully decorated cottage. Though it was small, it was the most wonderful house Gaara had ever seen. He started to watch the decorations with wide eyed curosity. Misaki felt elated to see Gaara's interest in their small house, as she made her way back to the garden.
"Do you like our house?!"shouted Misaki, excitedly.
"Yes I do. Is this all your doing?!"asked Gaara, making his way outside the house.
"Yes! I worked hard in decorating it. Truthfully...even I myself like it very much. My twin brother, Yohei, also helped me."said Misaki, pleased at Gaara's compliment.
"It's lovely, I think it is the most beautiful cottage I have ever seen."said Gaara looking at Misaki. She took the pot and carefully handed it over to Gaara.
"Thanks."said Misaki, barely able to hide her excitement.
"It was really nice to spend time with you. I loved your garden as well as your cottage and I hope to visit you soon."said Gaara, as he moved out.
The Kazekage bid a elaborate goodbye and slowly walked towards the market as Misaki kept looking at him.
