PROLOGUE:

Kasumi led her six year old daughter, Misaki, into the village of Suna. She wiped her brow, as she looked towards the Kazekage tower. There she saw her lover, Ryozo, the Kazekage. They had been having affairs for years now, ever since she met him when she was 16 years old. As she reached the tower, she became silent. Ryozo looked at her with lust in his eyes. "Kasumi. It's been a year hasn't it?"

"Seems like it." Kasumi replied.

"What do you say we talk for a while?" He questioned her.

She smiled, 'talk' usually meant a quick fuck from him. "Sure, but..."

"Don't worry. Yashamaru will watch the little one."

Kasumi looked to her child and said, "You be good Misaki, Mama will be back."

"Yes Mama." Misaki responded. She then watched her mother leave with Ryozo. Misaki felt alone. She didn't often have friends. Misaki decided to walk around until she found some children playing ball, however, instead of playing ball with them, she saw a child with red hair watching them intently. He was alone too. Misaki walked up to the child and said, "Hi. I'm Misaki, what's your name?"

The boy turned to her and looked at her with beautiful jade eyes. "Are...are you talking to me?"

"Yes." Misaki replied.

"I'm Gaara." The red-head replied.

"Hi Gaara. Why are you alone?"

"They don't like me."

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"You look normal to me." Misaki said as she leaned in and tried to touch his shoulder. However, a wall of sand blocked her. She stepped back.

"Please...i'm sorry." Gaara cried out.

"It's okay. I'm not hurt. You want to play?"

Gaara looked at her in surprise. "Sure. What do you want to play?"

"How about tag?" Misaki suggested.

"Alright." Gaara replied happily, he felt so happy that he could play with someone.

They played for a while, tagging each other then running away from one another. They then drew animals and other pictures in the sand. After getting tired of playing, Misaki and Gaara went to an alley between two buildings and sat down. Gaara leaned back, his head against her lap, as Misaki stroked his bright red hair. They stayed like that for a while then Misaki said, "Gaara, I think you're my best friend."

Gaara sat up immediately and blushed. "You think so."

"I know so." She then kissed him on his cheek.

They both heard a feminine voice. "Misaki, what are you doing back there?"

"I'm with my friend, Mama!" She shouted back.

"Come out!" Kasumi responded harshly.

The two children got up and walked to the front of the alley. Kasumi and Ryozo looked at the two children who held hands. "Can I stay with Gaara tonight?"

"No Misaki...it's not proper for a girl." Kasumi replied. "Come, we have to settle in our apartment."

"Okay." The girl said sadly. "Bye Gaara."

Gaara replied sadly as well, "Goodbye Misaki."

Two Weeks Later

Gaara hugged Misaki tightly as he said, "I don't want you to leave. I'll miss you too much. Everyone hates me."

Misaki hugged him back as she murmured, "I don't. I'll be back soon Gaara. I love you."

She stayed like that until her mother interrupted her, making her pull away from Gaara. The two took off for their homeland, the Land hidden in the Waterfalls. She would miss Gaara terribly, but she could not stay.

A Week Later

Misaki was crying terribly as Ryozo led her to a room within Kazekage Tower. "It's okay Misaki. You'll be staying with us. It's what your mother wanted." She sniffed, at least she would be able to see her friend, Gaara. She saw him as he rounded a corner and ran over to hug him.

"Gaara!" She tried to hug him, but he pushed her away. "What's the matter?"

"I don't want you around." He said as if he was talking about a bug on his shoe.

"What? I don't understand. I thought we were friends." She responded as more tears sprang to her eyes.

"I don't need friends."

Tears fell down Misaki's cheeks as she turned around and blindly ran to the nearest person she could find, which happened to be Kankuro. She wept in his shirt, thus she formed her next friendship, for so much had happened to her in the last week. Her mother had been killed by rogue ninjas and now her best friend hated her. What more could happen?"

Ryozo murmured an order, "Kankuro, Temari, take Misaki to her room."

When the two left with their new charge, Ryozo confronted his son. "You could have been a little more affectionate."

"Why? You tried to kill me." He then walked away, avoiding the person who hated him most.

Their friendship had been broken in less than a month, would it ever be formed again?

A/N: So I sort of wanted to rewrite the two stories (Between Brothers and Trip into the Past) and combine it into one. This time Misaki becomes a Sand-nin and is Kankuro's partner in battle. She has issues with Gaara after she comes back and well…let me not tell you the entire story, but I hope you enjoy this rewrite. It's not a true rewrite, because there are new events. Hope you enjoy! Please review!
