------Chapter 1 "And So It Begins" Part One-------

I stepped in front of the acadamy. "Sekai! Come quick!" said a faint voice. "I'm coming, Gaara! Wait for me!"

I ran to the 2nd building, finally finding Gaara to find out why he was wanting me. "What do you want? I was trying to find my classes!" I said, angerly. He looked at me, with his monsterist look, "We have the same classes! Isn't that great?" I gave him 'the look'. "Oh god, this can't be good. I'd rather be in a class with Kankuro!" RING RING! "Come on, Sekai!" I punched him. "It's Sora Sekai, Gaara," I said. RING RING! We ran to our first class.

"Could this get anymore boring?"I thought. I looked over at Gaara, and by the looks of it, he was thinking the same thing. Psst! He whispered. "WHAT!" I whispered back. "Come to my house today?" he asked. "Sure, not like I have anyone waiting for me at home." I replyed. He looked at me with sad eyes, "I didn't mean to kill them, they hurt you." I felt shock run through my body, we hadn't talked about that in years. His voice took me out of my thoughts, "Remember, you can always come live with Me, Kankuro, Temari..me...." He implyed. "You two in the back," the teacher screamed "Stop talking!" I knew he was talking about Gaara and Me.... Well, he can shut it!

After school, I went to Gaara's house. "Temari, Kankuro, I'm home!" Gaara shouted as he entered his house. "Konnichiwa Kankuro, Temari," I stated. "Sekai, stay here, I want to give you something." Gaara ran upstairs to his room. Just then, Temari and Kankuro ran downstairs, "Sekai, what a plessure to see you, again" enthused Kankuro. I looked at him, "Don't you ever get heat-stroke in that outfit?" I teased. Gaara came downstairs with something behind his back. "H...h..here you go, Sekai," He said, giving me a small wrapped box. I quickly opened the box, not savoring the wrapping paper. It was a promise ring. "I will always be here for you, whenever you need help. He smiled, I smiled. "Um...." said Temari, "Enough with the love, do your homework, I guess." We starred at her "No homework."

Today was a Saturday, that means no school. Whoo hoo! I awoke to find that my window had been open all night. Sand had filled my bedroom. I got my bags from my closet and packed. I was going to live with Gaara starting today. I ran through the crowds in the village. "Gaara!" I kept screaming. I finally made it to his house. KNOCK KNOCK! The door opened. "Who is i- Hey! Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Asked Kankuro. "Shut up, Kankuro. Where is Gaara, I have to ask him something."
