A/N I don't ownany of the people from Naruto but I do own Hotaru.


It has been five years since the Shukaku spirit has been removed from Gaara. He is now use to sleeping every night, but once in a while he can't sleep at night that all right with him. He has a girlfriend now. They have been dating for three years now. They both love each other very much. Life is good for Gaara. He is still the Kazekage of Suna.

Early in the morning Gaara is just waking up. He gets out of bed and stretches. "That was a good night I slept well," said Gaara as he walks into the bathroom. He has a bathroom in his bedroom so he doesn't have to worry about anyone else coming in so he can take his time. He takes a shower and combs his hair, puts his cloths on and walks out of the bathroom. "Hi Gaara!" yelled Temari. Gaara jumps. "WTF Temari?" he yells. Temari laughs. "How many times do I have to tell you not walk in my room?" "At least I didn't walk in when you were getting dress like last time." Gaara roles his eyes. Ever since Temari walk in on his getting dress Gaara would always get dress in his bathroom. "What do you want?" asks Gaara. "I here to tell you that today's meeting will be at 1:00pm instead of noon," said Temari. "Any reason why?" asks Gaara as he yawns. "None that I know of," shrugged Temari. Gaara grabs his Kazekage hat and puts it on. "Well whatever doesn't bother me," he said. "I'll be in the office." "OK," said Temari.

Gaara was glade that the meeting was at one, because now he can have lunch with his girlfriend. "Wait a minute she isn't back from her mission yet," said Gaara. He walks in to his office and sits in the chair behind the desk. "Time to get to work," said Gaara. One good this about staying up all night was that he could do his paperwork at night and do whatever he wanted in the day, but now he sleeps at night so he has to do his paperwork in the day. That fine with Gaara. As long as it gets done he didn't care. It keeps the council happy.

It is now noon and Gaara was eating his lunch. He hears humming. Where is it coming from? He looks around the room nothing was there. He looks out the window. Nothing. "Odd." Gaara thinks to himself. Gaara gets up and walks to the door and presses his ear to it. "Maybe it's coming from the other side of the door." Thinks Gaara. He hears nothing. So he opens the door. Nothing he looks to the left then the right nothing could be seen. "Odd." Says Gaara. He closes the door and turns around. There sitting on his desk was a person. She had a white kimono with lavender flowers design on the top and bottom. She has lavender eyes with no pupils and long strait light brown hair that goes down to her knees. She was smiling and looks at Gaara. "She looks familiar," thinks Gaara. Then it hit him. "Hotaru!" he yelled. "You remember me," she said. Gaara smiles and walks up to her. "It as been a long time," he said. "Five years," giggled Hotaru.

Gaara smiles leave as soon as he remembers where he last seen Hotaru. "Why are you here?" he asks. Hotaru's smile leaves and she looks down like she was sad. "I hate it when I have to do this," she said. Gaara blinks. "What do you mean?" he asks. Hotaru looks to the right then back at Gaara. "Sorry Gaara." "Why are you sorry?" Gaara looks up at the clock 1:00pm. "I have to go," said Gaara. Hotaru nodes. "I know that is why I am here." Gaara looks at her confused. "It is time," said Hotaru. "I know the meeting starts now," said Gaara as he walks behind the desk. He stops dead in his tracks.

"What the hell is going on here?!" yells Gaara. Hotaru sighs. Gaara looks at Hotaru. She turns around to face him and his body. Right there in the chair was Gaara! His head was laying on his desk and his arms were down by his sides. As Gaara saw his own body in the chair was speechless and very confused. "What the fuck is going on here?" Hotaru sighs. "This is the reason I am here," she said pointing to Gaara's body. "What does it mean?" ask Gaara. "I think you know why," said Hotaru. Gaara just stood there. There was a knock on the door. "Kazekage-Sama the meeting is staring now remember?" came a voice from the other side of the door. "I'll be there soon," said Gaara. The knocking continued. "Kazekage-Sama is very thing all right?" "I said I'll be there soon." The door opened and in walks Baki. He jumps back and runs to the door. "Some call the medical ninjas in here now!" shouted Baki. He runs past Gaara and Hotaru. He runs to Gaara's body sitting/laying in the chair. He was shaking the body and yelling Kazekage-Sama. Gaara runs to Baki. "I'm right here Baki," said Gaara waving his arms. "He can't hear or see us," said Hotaru. Gaara turns to her then back at Baki and his body. Gaara takes a step back. "Don't tell me," he said. Hotaru nodes. The medical ninjas.

They run to Gaara's body. They examine him and look to Baki. They both shakes there heads. Baki nodes. "Understood I'll tell the council and his siblings," said Baki. He walks out of the room. The medical ninjas puts Gaara's body on a stretcher and carry him out of the room. Gaara stands there and watches as they carry his body out of the room. Gaara slides down to the floor. His back and head against the wall. "This can't be. How? I'm only 20," said Gaara he sound like he was going to cry. Hotaru was sitting next to him. She pats him on the shoulder. "Age has nothing to do with it, I'm so sorry Gaara." Gaara sight has he looks down. He shakes his head and looks at Hotaru. "Now what?" he asks. Hotaru held out her hand. She is now sitting on his desk again. Gaara looking next to him and at Hotaru again. He smiles and gets up. He grabs Hotaru's hand. "Look into my eyes Gaara, and tell me what you see." Gaara nodes and looks into her eyes. "I see white clouds and blue skies," said Gaara. "Is that all?" asks Hotaru. "That is all I see," said Gaara. "I see," said Hotaru. Gaara notice that her eyes are white. "I see your eyes still change color." "They always have and they always will." "What are you?" asks Gaara. "You will get your answer soon," said Hotaru. She close her eyes and tell Gaara to do the same. He does. In a flash of a white light they were gone.
