Also, I'm sorry that the first few parts are so short.
The light of the full moon was all that provided illumination in the still office. It was the dead of night, a time when no normal person would still be up. Only one lone, solitary person was still awake in all of Sunagakure. His two eyes stared blankly at the wall opposite him, waiting as time inched slowly by. He had been that way for a few hours now. All of his work had been finished, and he had nothing to do.
Silently, he got up, walking without a sense of hurry to the door. It opened and then closed shut, leaving the room now empty. He slowly made his way along the empty halls before going outside. There was a slight breeze that stirred the sand along the paths of the village. Night was such a peaceful time compared to during the day when people constantly bothered and gave work to the Kazekage. Now, it was just him.
It was nice to not have people staring at him for some reason or another. He enjoyed moments like these, though he tended to have plenty of them. Every night was basically the same routine, though he wasn't complaining. It was nice to have something this peaceful be a part of his life.
It was only a few more hours until dawn when the first of the villagers would awake. Then he would return to his office for the day to carry out the matters that had to with running Sunagakure.
As he rounded a corner, he stopped suddenly. A little girl stood a few yards away, her eyes closed. He stared. She slowly opened her eyes, raising them to stare straight into his. The Kazekage couldn't move. All he could do was stare back unblinkingly. For who knew how long, they just stared into each other's eyes without a single movement, two statues not disturbing the quiet night. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his head before extreme dizziness. He couldn't think straight at all. He blinked, breaking the connection before crashing down to the ground, passed out.
Temari was suddenly wide-awake. There was no reason for her to be. She just felt something nagging at her, causing her to get up. On her way out, she grabbed her fan. A feeling told her that something had happened to someone important to her. She could hardly keep herself from running as she walked through the streets. The sun was just starting to rise, and only a few people were up and about right now. She quickened her pace, rounding a corner before immediately stopping short.
"Gaara!" she shouted, running over to her brother on the ground.
