A story with no need to name.
Gaara closed his eyes and sat plopped onto his bed. An old memory came floating into his head. One of long ago when he made new friends and experienced… kindness? But, with the unexpected upbringing of this memory he was forced to think about what had happened oh so long ago…
Flashback
A young Gaara wandered around the abandoned streets of the village, a village unfamiliar to him. He had no memory of how he had gotten there. He was only six years old; it's a mystery how he got so far away from Suna. So he walked around clutching on to his teddy bear, hoping for someone to find him. Eventually, he heard the barks of a dog, and they seemed to be getting closer. Gaara tensed, he had never really been a dog person and before Temari and Kankuro had been there to protect him. Now he was alone. The dogs had never really scared him, it was just the fact that they were so wild and spontaneous that frightened him. The barks were getting louder and soon he saw a small white dog standing in front of him. " Shoo doggy…shoo…" Gaara said trying to sound unafraid. "Shoo!" He pleaded once more, but the dog just stood there. " Akamaru! Akamaru! Where are you?" The dog turned and so did Gaara. There stood a boy with red paint on his face. At first he seemed not to notice Gaara, he was just so overjoyed to have found his dog. But, then he looked and just blinked at him. "A-are you lost?" The boy asked Gaara. "Maybe, why?" The boy smiled exposing a missing tooth and four fang like teeth. " If you are, I think I can help you, but only if you want me to." The boy replied. "Help…, please." Gaara pleaded. The boy nodded. He extended his hand to Gaara. Gaara took his hand as the boy led him under a street light. The boy took out a kunai a waved it in the air. A flash shone every time he turned it as if a signal. Soon Gaara could see various lights turning on in different houses, only one or two in each dwelling. So the boy started again. " Come on, we have to have a meeting." The boy said. "We?" Gaara asked. Eventually they came in front of a small shop and the boy whistled twice. So children began to gather in the center around Gaara and the boy. One of the boys complained " Kiba, you gotta quit calling meetings so late at night. Sasuke needs his sleep." Another boy mumbled something about being a big boy now. " Every one shut up!" The boy, Kiba as Gaara now knew, screamed. Every body became silent. " He's lost and needs our help." Kiba said pointing at Gaara. " Here let me introduce you, these people are Ino, Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, Itachi, Choji, Shikamaru, Neji, Shino and I'm Kiba…. What's your name?" "G-Gaara" Gaara replied. " Where you from?" asked Kiba. "Suna" Gaara replied. Itachi, being the oldest, asked, " That's a far way out how did you make it here?" "I-I don't know…" Gaara replied. After that the children took Gaara to Uchia community ( whatever it's called) and had Sasuke's parents contact Suna and tell of finding Gaara. Soon sand nin came and Gaara thanked all of his friends, especially…Kiba…
End Flashback" Kiba!" Kiba opened eyes and popped up. " I wasn't sleeping, I swear." He said to Hinata and Shino who were standing above him. " Right, come on Kiba, you said you would help me train." Hinata said. But Kiba wasn't listening to her. He was thinking of that dream he had, the one where he had found Gaara and helped him get home. But he knew it wasn't a dream, simply a memory. A lot of things had changed since then, Itachi's betrayal, Sasuke's too, The Attack… "KIBA!!!!" Hinata screamed "what?" he replied with a sad look on his face. " Kiba, you were thinking about Gaara again weren't you?" Shino asked. Kiba blushed slightly and turned his head. " Shut up Shino, you make it sound like I'm in love with him." " You aren't?" Shino asked. Kiba stood and told Hinata, " Come on… I said I'd help you." He said as he left with Hinata Following. " He didn't deny it…" Shino said too himself, unaware of the listener in the shadows.
