This is just a little project for now. I need to equal myself out since 'Shadows Dancing Upon Sand' is full of angst and drama. I decided to rewrite it so while that's happening enjoy this! P This is mostly humor and romance. It's obviously about Gaara, since I'm obsessed with him. Well Enjoy.

The sweltering sun beat down on my unprotected skin; beads of sweat falling down my pale skin. My light azure hair plastered to my face, blocking my sky blue eyes. As I brought up a hand to remove the strands of hair from my eyes, I sighed. I've been out here for the last thirty minutes and I still haven't found Chi. Daichi is going to kill me when he finds out I lost his pet. I swear to Kami the second I find that damn ferret I'm going to ring its neck. Looking up at the position of the sun I estimated it was about four in the afternoon. Dai said he was going to be home around five, which gives me only an hour to look for his stupid ferret. Ah! This sucks!

"Mizu!" Dai called from his room as I continued to cut up vegetables from tonight's supper. I paused placing the knife on the cutting board; as I walked to his room and stood in the door way his ferret rushed past my feet almost succeeding in tripping me. As I stumbled, I hit my head on the doorway but caught myself. I glared angrily at Chi; eyes narrowed in a venomously cold glare. He looked back at me feigning innocence before snaking her way up my side and lying on my shoulder. I shot Chi a quick glare and returned my attention to Dai.

"What is it, brother?" I asked leaning in the doorway. He looked up from his bag he was packing as I looked at him questioningly.

"I'm going into Suna for a few days; we're running out of supplies and money. I'm going to try and sell some of those necklaces you made." I nodded my head in understanding. We were running low on food and such but I didn't understand why he was packing. Suna wasn't even a day away as we lived in the country of Wind.

"Why are you packing though?" I question walking into his room and sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I'm going to stay for a few days and visit with Kankuro. I told him last time we met that, when I visited the village I would visit him." I was about to protest that I would like to go also when he cut me off.

"You can't. Someone has to watch over the house and make sure no one steals anything." I pouted as he got up and walking into the kitchen to grab a piece of bread for his short journey.

"Besides, someone has to watch Chi." My eyes widened at this. That ferret and I had a vendetta against each other. I couldn't stand it and I knew if Chi was given the chance she would give me hell.

"No Dai! You can't do that, you know we hate each otherplease. Can't you just take the fur ball with you?" I asked glaring at her from her perch on my shoulder. Chi returned the glare with her little beady eyes; when she realized that I called her a fur ball he bit me.

"Ahhhh!!!" I screamed flailing my arms trying to get that damned rodent off of me. My quick movements and failing only cause Chi to bit harder to prevent her from flying off.

"Get it off. Get.it.off!!!! EwwwI'm going to get rabies." I cried trying to get her off, at my antics Dai had manage to swallow a chuck on bread down the wrong pipe and was now choking and sputtering. His eyes began to water slightly before he hit his chest roughly sending the item of food down the right tube.

"Chi, let go of Mizu. Mizu stop being over dramatic." He said rubbing his sore throat. At the command, I stop moving and Chi released her hold on my neck. Luckily, she didn't break the skin and only my pride was wounded. We both glared at each other quickly before turning back to Dai.

"I'll be back in two days around five; please don't kill each other" he begged. I nodded in agreement.

"Have a safe trip!" I said ecstatically. He waved goodbye and closed the door behind him. The second that door closed all hell broke loose.

The past couple of days had been fine. Chi and I have avoided each other in hopes of avoiding another confrontation between us. I was busy cooking some ramen for Dai when he returned when all of a sudden Chi zipped into the room. Knocking over the boiling water all over me. I screamed at the sudden wetness that soaked through my clothes; I was lucky that the extremely hot water had no effect on me. Otherwise I would be as red as a lobster.

"Chi!" I screamed azure eyes aflame with anger. "I'm going to kill you." Chi, sensing the immediate danger she had gotten herself into fled out into the desert.

That my friend's was how I had gotten myself into this sucky situation. I was now in the middle of Suna's desert searching for a ferret. A ferret I despised no less. As I brought up my hand to block out the blinding light I saw a figure. The hazy heat and sand floating by had made my vision fuzzy and I couldn't tell if it was a friend or foe. One thing was for certain though. It was definitely too big to be Chi. Oh dear kami, please tell me it's not an enemy ninja, especially since I'm weaponless and completely vulnerable. As the figure came closer I could see he had blood red hair and a giant gourd on his back. He was dressed in regular ninja attire and had a Suna headband attached to a strap that held the gourd. Oh dear kami I hope he's friendly.

"You are trespassing; why are you here?" His tone was cold and calm; his aquamarine eyes held a hint of annoyance. He doesn't seem too friendly. I remained silence as his cold stare froze me to the spot. I felt the sand beneath my feet begin to move, putting me slightly off balance. I looked down and to my horror sand was making its way up my feet.

"Answer me or I'll kill you." Yep, definitely wasn't the friendly type. I swear to kami if I get out of this alive, I'm going to kill Chi.


Please review. I wanted to know if this is crap. Critisim is highly appreciated. So are ideas. Flames not-so-much but they will be used to roast marshmallows!
