It was almost lunch time and Garra, Temari, and Kankurou were walking around. Garra turned around suddenly, Temari and Kankurou did the same as Garra. Garra started to search the woods. A girl walked out from behind the tree, her hands by her side. She had a soft strawberry-blonde hari color. It was mostly strawberry, as for her eyes, they were a deep, ocean, dark blue. She was serious and then put her hands out in front of her, she began to speak.
"I don't want to hurt you, I just want to talk Garra." she tikd them, then placed her arms by her side.
"How do you know my name?" Garra asked, very suspicious.
"Don't you remember me, Garra? After all, you kiled my drunk father and the only person that was like my father on the same night. I witnessed both deaths," she paused, looked at Garra, then continued. "My name is Rekunia Shemarikia." Garra winced and grabbed his head.
"Rekunia? I remember now. I killed your father because of the way he looked at me, like I was a monster." Garra said.
"You also killed your uncle, the man who treated me like a daughter unlike my father. My father was always drunk since the day my mother died, the day of my birth. He took care of me, he treated me like anormal child who's father wasn't always drunk. He turned into my father. I was born in the Village Hidden in the Mist, moved to the Village Hidden in the Sand, and now I'm apart of the Village Hidden in the Leaves," she paused and saw Garra fall over in pain from his head, she bowed her head and continued. "That night, Garra, I was looking for you to give you something you left behind earlier that day. With the village children and the ball and you. I always wanted to play with you, be your friend, but the other kids wouldn't let me even talk to you. No matter how hard I tried to get away from them, just to talk to you so you wouldn't be lonley, they kept pulling me away."
"Garra!" Temari and Kankurou shouted in unison reaching for Garra. They helped him up, Temari spoke.
"Who do you think you are?! Coming from the blue and hurting Garra?! What did you do to him?!" Temari wasn't so much as asking, as she was demanding an answer.
"I didn't do anything, so much as he did make me alone. I had no brothers or sisters, now I'm alone with my dead father and mother and the person who cared for me is dead too. Garra, I'm like you, you see the sand won't let me get hurt. Or the leaves, or water, or anything. You know why? A little something called love. Yashamaru's love actually. Yashamaru was the only one who really loved me and cared for me. His love for you, and his sister love for you, are in the sand. You know, everyday he told me how great you were, I only counted down the days until we could be friends," Rekunia looked up to the sky and smiled, then looked down and continued with what she was saying. "I was trying to give you something and I see you kill Yashamaru with your sand, I tried to call out and tell you who it was but I was too late. He even told you that you did good, he really loved you and you loved him, I loved him as well. But now I love this village, and the people in this village who accept me, like my squad. They love me like family, like the way I love Yashamaru like a father, Garra, here." she threw the teddy bear he had always held on the ground in front of him.
"Wh-what's this Rekunia?" Garra asked her.
"This is what I was going to give to you that night, I was running around the village looking for you to give this to you. But you were too busy killing the only people that I loved left, the only two people. Garra, I hope that someday we can be friends." Rekunia said, then she turned around and started to walk away. Garra picked up the teddy bear and held it. Then put it in a sack, it was the only thing he had left of Yashamaru, and the sand as well.
"Why didn't the sand protect me that day I battled Sasuke Uchiha?" Garra asked the heavens, no, he asked Yashamaru and Yashamaru's sister.
"Maybe they thought you needed some pain Garra, not just heartaches. Garra, she acted like she really knew you." Temari had started, a few seconds later Garra answered.
"She did, we grew up together. She wanted to be my friend but the village children wouldn't let her near me because they said I was a monster." Garra ended his statement angerly.
"Do you want to go after her Garra?" Konkurou asked. Garra shook his head.
"No, we have a mission." Garra said getting up.
"Right." Temari said following after Garra, Konkurou followed them.
"If you ask me, she loves Garra like a brother." Konkurou whispered to Temari.
"If you ask me you need to shut up." Temari replied.
"Right." Konkurou bowed his head in shame.
"Konkurou? Why do ask such silly questions?" Garra questioned stopping.
"What do you mean Garra?" Konkurou asked, knowing what he meant.
"I mean that you need to worry about yourself and not me or Rekunia. Got it? Don't make me kill you." Garra said, then he continued to walk foreward.
"But Garra-" Konkurou began. Temari nudged his shouleder.
"I said shut up! Do you want to die?!" Temari shouted at him, he just cowered down and shook his head.
"Konkurou, you are really asking for it. Shut up and mind your own buisness, got it?!" Garra was angrey now.
"Y-yes Garra." Konkurou managed to squeze out, he gulped then followed Garra as he started to walk again. Temari kept an eye on Konkurou. She felt like a babysitter, not a ninja.
"Look, are you done rambling?" a voice sounded from behind. They all turned around frightened, excpet Garra who could really care less.
"Great, now you?" Garra asked rolling his eyes at the sight of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. "Well, I don't feel like fighting so go away."
"No! We wanna fight!" Naruto shouted.
"Does it look like I care?" Garra asked annoyed.
"Well-no-but still!" Naruto had nothing to say.
"Shut up Naruto." Sakura shouted angerly.
"Both of you shut up." Sasuke said keeping his eyes on Garra who's mind was somewhere else. Sasuke grabbed a kunni knife, as well as Naruto and Sakura.
"Take this!" all three of them shouted at the same time, throwing their kunni knifes at them. Something, or soemone jumped out of the branch above them at that moment. It was Rekunia.
"Get out of here!" she shouted, they were shocked, so they stayed. "I said go! NOW!" she shouted, there was dirt, leaves, and even sand protecting her. Garra was frozen. "GARRA GO!"
