"SATU!!! Get up sleepy head!" screamed my dear beloved sister Midori. "What damnit?" I growled. "You know why birthday girl!!! HAPPY THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY!!!" she said jumping on me.

"Ok, geese! I'm up! Now get off fatty!" I growled pushing her off. "I'm not fat! Meany!" she said laughing. "What ever. And didn't I tell you that I didn't want any sort of 'special' treatment?" I said sitting on the edge of the bed, watching my sister make a fool of her self by jumping up and down like a two-year-old.

"Hey be nice, I let you sleep in till' two in the afternoon. You know, you never wake up early. Not even for school." Midori said pushing my closet open and choosing an outfit for me. "Would you stop going threw my cloths?" I asked. "Sure, after I pick an outfit for you. Ahh here!" she said throwing a plaid skirt and long sleeved black shirt at me.

"Are you kidding me? I'm not wearing that skirt! It's so short!" I gaped. "Yes, I know. That is the reason I am going to make you wear it." She said tackling me. We started to laugh as soon as we hit the floor. "Ow! Ok, ok! I'll wear it if you get off!" I said giggling.

"Thank you! I'll be down stairs! HURRY UP!!!" she said, obviously excited. I don't know where she gets the energy! Wow… I thought putting on my cloths. (The is when your thinking)

"Finally! I thought you died or something!" Midori huffed. "Ok I'm sorry. What's the rush?" I asked. "The rush is we're going to be late!" "For what?" "For a show I'm going to take you to! So let's go!" well ok then…

Midori and I spent the whole entire day fooling around at stores. Afterwards we went home to watch a movie. "Hey what ya want to watch Hun?" Modori asked. "I'm up for anything." I said plopping down on the couch next to her. We both decided to watch the movie 'Sweet Home Alabama'. Suddenly, I started to cough and choke.

"Satu, are you ok?" Modori asked frightened. I tried to respond but couldn't. I could hardly breathe. I felt Midori's hand on my back. Suddenly, I was having flashbacks of everything. I remembered when my mother and father died in a head-on car crash and how my sister had to take care of us at the age of six-teen.

The scene changed and I remembered when I broke my arm. That was horrible and painful. Then I was looking at a red-headed boy. He was about 5 and little older than I was. I remembered how we used to play in a sand box. Now that I think about it, the whole place was made of sand. I only knew him for about a week though. He was always alone, sitting on a swing with a little teady bear. Sometimes he even cried.

"Why are you crying?" I asked the boy. He looked up at me, afraid. "Who are you? What do you want?" he asked as a tear rolled off his cheek. "I'm Satu Nashasawa. Who are you?" it took awhile before he responded. "I'm Gaara." He whispered. "Why are you scared Gaara?" I asked. "Because I-I-I killed someone." He murmured frightened.

"Why?" "Because someone tried to kill me. I-I didn't mean to! It just happened!" he cried out. I laid my head on his leg. "It's ok Gaara. Don't cry." I said trying to comfort him. "Aren't you afraid of me?" he asked. "No. I think your just really strong Gaara. Will you protect me?" I asked. "I-I-sure. I'll protect you Satu." He said.

I came back, every day for a week. Then suddenly a blonde girl came. "Gaara? Who are you talking too?" she asked. "Satu." He replied. "Gaara, no ones there." She whispered. Gaara got upset. "She is too! She's right here!" he yelled. "Gaara, don't you think you're a little too old to have imaginary friends..?" she asked hesitantly.

"Gaara, it's ok. I should go." I whispered in his ear. "No, don't go! You're the only friend I have!" he cried. "I promise I'll come back soon." I said kissing him on the cheek. "Do you promise?" he asked, heartbroken. "I promise. As soon as I'm old enough, I'll come back here." I muttered. The little boy named Gaara whispered something into my ear. I nodded my head and smiled. "Take my bear for you to remember me by." He said handing me his beloved bear. I smiled. "Gaara, I promise I'll come back and keep my promise and you keep yours." I said fading into the wind.

BACK TO PRESENT

I screamed as a pain shot through my body. damnit this hurts! What's going on? I asked myself. Finally the pain wore off. I felt cold and suddenly slipped into a large pool of water. The last thing I remembered was opening my eyes to see a strange world, only to be forced to shut them in exhaustion.
