Chapter One

-Suna-

Five Years Later…

"Hah, I can't believe my little sister is going to get married." A tall redheaded man with dark jade eyes smiled.

"I know," the girl smiled brightly, her fiery hair matching that of her brother and her father.

The large family convened at the enormous gates of Suna. An older redhead stood silently, watching the scene between his children with his still lovely wife by his side. Two blonde girls, about sixteen years old, crowded around the older girl, latching onto each of her arms. "Yuki! I can't believe you're leaving forever!" Kallen cried, her green eyes now watery with tears.

"Yeah! What are we going to do if you're not here?" Yuri said, sighing deeply.

"I'm sure you guys will find things to do. You could always get boyfriends." Yuki suggested, laughing happily.

"True." They said together, detaching themselves as they laughed with her.

Temari and Shikamaru both sighed, for two very different reasons. The blonde aunt was sad that her precious little niece was leaving Suna to go marry the new Hokage, Uzumaki Shuhei. Yuki took turns hugging her aunts and uncles. She was really going to miss them, even her Uncle Kiba. "I'm going to miss everyone." She said, taking a step back and joining her mother and father.

"I'm sorry we can't go with you to say goodbye." Toshiro smiled sadly. His little sister was all grown up and so happy now. The young blonde from Konoha had really done an amazing thing, pulling her out of her depressive state. His gaze then shifted to his twin sisters, who had mirrored expressions. Now, for Satomi, the look was natural. But Natsumi had grown dimmer over the years. "Natsumi," he called, getting the woman's attention.

"Huh?" she blinked, watching her brother wearily.

He gestured over towards him and stepped away from his beautiful wife, who was holding the loveliest little auburn haired girl with dark teal eyes. The pink haired woman followed him and stopped when he did, "What is it Toshiro?" she asked, searching his eyes for an answer.

"Be careful." He told her, placing his hands on her shoulders.

She stared at him oddly and nodded, "You know I always am." The redhead sighed. He didn't like when Natsumi left the village. Over the years he had been able to fully take on all the work of being a Kage, but he still left all the criminal affairs to his sister. "Don't worry…" she said softly, placing her hand on his arm. "I already talked to Aunt Temari. She's going to handle what I do…well for the most part."

Toshiro laughed and flicked his sister in the forehead. "I know. So…" he arched a familiar brow. "I just want to tell you something, something I want you to really take into consideration."

She mimicked his action and stared at him oddly. "What?"

"Don't shut him out."

Natsumi went wide eyed and her throat felt dry. She hated how much he still affected her. Her brother didn't even have to say his name and her body gave reaction. "I don't shut him out." She replied as normally as she could, but her heart felt raw and hollow.

He gave her a skeptical look, "You know what I mean Natsumi."

"I can't Toshiro. I just can't." she stated, staring down at the ground.

"Why not?" the Kazekage asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

She glared at him, now being defensive. "I can't forgive him for what he did to you. I just can't…he betrayed me."

"He betrayed me too." Toshiro pointed out, fighting the smile that was forming on his face.

"It's different," she tried to protest.

"Is it?" the redhead smirked, leaning closer to her so that she could only see his eyes. "There is no difference, only depth. It's been five years Natsumi, and you haven't smiled once. You joined Anbu, and you command it with an iron fist. There's something wrong when Yuki is happier than you."

"She has a reason to be happy." Natsumi protested, moving away from her brother. "I am happy. I have my family and that's all I need. They give me all the love I need." She glared harshly at him. "I'm done talking about this Toshiro, I just can't okay? It was the choices that Akito decided to make. I don't have a problem being aquatinted with him…he is my friend. But those deep feelings were lost a long time ago." With that said, she left her brother and joined her sister, ready to leave for Konoha. Gaara's gaze shifted from his daughter to his son. Toshiro locked eyes with his father and then went back to Minako's side.

With a deep sigh, Gaara looked at Sakura and then the rest of his family. "We should probably head out now. We'll be back soon."

"Be safe." Minako said, smiling softly at her family. She would miss them while they were gone.

"I don't want Aunt Yuki to leave!" the little girl in Minako's arms cried, holding her arms out to her.

The young redhead ran back and slowly took Ami from her mother. "Oh Ami, it's okay. I will see you again. I promise. I will come to visit and you can come see Konoha. It's where your mommy is from." She told the small girl with a beautiful smile.

"I know." The three year old sighed and hugged her favorite aunt. "I'll miss you a lot."

Yuki kissed her niece on the cheek and handed her back to Minako. "Goodbye everyone!" she waved and ran after her mother and father, who had already started towards the desert. Natsumi and Satomi followed silently. She came between the two and grabbed both their hands, enjoying the last moments she would have with her family.

"Bye!" the blonde girls yelled, waving excitedly. Once the five Sabakus were nothing but spots on the horizon, the family started trickling away, either to go to work or off to play.

Toshiro sighed and took Ami, who was stretching out towards him. "Hello my little sand muffin." he teased, making her giggle.

She looked back out at the desert and sighed. "Why does Aunt Yuki have to leave? Why not Aunt Tomi or Aunt Sumi?" she asked, staring up at her father.

He laughed and shook his head, "Because Yuki is marrying Uncle Shuhei, and Tomi and Sumi can't marry Shuhei. He's too young for them."

Ami huffed and snuggled into his shirt. "But they're both mean."

"Now sweetie, I told you Aunt Sumi wasn't always like that, she used to be very happy." He said with a nod.

"Well if she would just forgive Uncle Kito she would be happy, and so would he." She said, crossing her arms.

"Honey I told you. It's complicated." Minako said, putting her arm around her husband and smiling at her daughter.

"No it isn't. He did something bad, and hurt her feelings. Then he felt sorry and apologized, and she should forgive him. Because didn't you say Daddy that you should always forgive someone, especially when they apologize?" she asked, looking up at her father.

Toshiro nodded and kissed his daughter on the top of the head. "Yes, you should always forgive. When you're older you will understand. Sometimes, sorry just isn't enough. Maybe something will happen when Aunt Sumi is with Uncle Kito for a long period of time." He explained and turned around, walking with Minako back to their house. Suna was going to be pretty dull without the bulk of the Sabaku family.
