(9/04/2015)

Here we are chapter 2, I hope you like the changes, also all the songs in my story- I select carefully, they always have a message or theme for what is happening in the part of the story.

Song: Hold my hand by Akon

Declaimer for the whole story: I don't own Naruto or anything really lol, but I do own my OC's and this plot. I also don't own any of the songs being used in my story.


Previously:

And just like that my body gave up on me and my eye sight went black, vaguely I heard shouting getting closer but still couldn't understand what they are saying. Then I felt myself being lifted, I have no strength to open my eyes to see who it is.

"Don't worry little one you are safe now." A smooth, deep voice said softy in my ear. 'Could I really be safe? Are they not the ones that were after me? Am I really safe?' I wanted to cry at the possibility that I made it to people that could help me, but I didn't want to waste what little water I still had in my body, and if I wasn't safe it would have been all for nothing.

"How old do you think she is?" Asked a soft females voice, as I felt the male carrying me start to move, the kunai was gently pulled from my hand and a soft hand touched my extremely burnt face- and moved it to rest on the mans shoulder.

"I'll guess around five or six years old." I heard the man mutter, before he shifted me gently, I am completely shocked. 'How could they not see that I am nine years old? I mean that's three to four years younger than I really am! I couldn't have become younger could I?'

"What do you think a girl her age is doing all the way out here? And where are the child's parents?" The woman asked, I think she was in some kind of semi-shocked state, not every day they see a child wondering the desert I guess.

"I don't know but it's not our job to find out, so leave it be!" The man said. I was starting to feel very dizzy again and just before the world went black I heard the women say something but I couldn't make out what it was.

Then everything went silent.


Chapter 2: It's him, it's really him!

I woke to the sound of soft muttering; I tried to hear what is being said without letting them know I was awake, it didn't did seem like I had to try too hard as I feel dead as it is.

"What do you think she was doing out in the desert?"

"Do you think she is a spy?"

"Where do you think her parents are?"

"We should have just left her there to die"

"No she is only a child, we will have to just wait until she wakes to know the answers." Three different voices were asking before a very deep voice said to silence them, than I hear only silence. It feels like I am being stared at, so I stayed still and keep my breathing even. Then the soft mumbling started again but this time I can't hear what is being said. After only a couple of seconds, my body must have awakened because the sharp, throbbing pain in my back gave a sharp jab. I gagged and cried out in pain and moved to stop the pain as much as I could, then I remembered that I wasn't alone in the room as I hear footsteps coming closer. I slowly opened my eyes, but I couldn't see a thing everything was dark- then as fast of light as I felt a hand touch my face. I blinked rappenedly and moaned as the light in the room was too bright, after my eyes adjusted behind closed lids I slowly opened them and looked around. I seem to be in a big plain room with hard, red sand walls and floor. The room seemed to be empty except for the bed I am laying on and the men that were speaking earlier. There are four men standing at the end of the bed looking at me, and one standing beside my bed that seemed to be a medic.

"What is your name little one?" The man second to the right asked very gently as if the very breath of his words would blow me away. I curled up on myself and pulled the blankets closer to my body, I started wide eyed at the man.

"Well you my ask, why is it that I'm reacting like this? Well let me tell you standing before me is three elderly men and one in his late forties, that's okay right? Well there is also that these man are all man from the council in the Sand Village, not so bad right? WRONG! I know that I met a leaf village not too long ago but I was really hoping that I was dreaming, well that and I didn't really have time or the energy to really figure out that I seem to be in a FUCKEN ANIME! HOLYYYY SSSSHHHHIIIITTTT, OMG WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO? HOW THE HELL DID ALL THIS HAPPEN? WHAT THE HELLLLLLLLLL!"

"My name...is...is?" I muttered in a crockery voice, before having to give a dry cough, the medic quickly passed me a cup of water. At first I just stared at it and then ever so slowly I took small sips, making sure to restrain myself from gulping to all down in one go. They waited for me to finish before I handed the cup back to the man and then looked down at my hands, one of the man cough to gain my attention.

"Um…I can't….remember…. but I guess you could call me….Yuka." I said in a small voice as I placed my hand to my head and closed my eyes, 'well I do like the name Yuka and I can give them my real name, it's to different and they will think something is up and then I would have to answer more questions.'

"Why Yuka? Why do you want us to call you that?" One of them asked- I slowly opened my eyes and looked up at them; I frowned and tilted my head slightly.

"I…I don't know, I guess the name just sounds…pretty." I said with a bright smile, I saw the medic and two of the others trying to cover their chuckles with coughs, and a hand- while the one of the others looked gobsmacked and the last one looked about ready to tackle me in a hug and never let me go.

"Sooo cutee-" He managed to get out before the one next to him elbowed him and cleared his throat, the man snapped out of it and cleared his own throat as he straightened out his clothes.

"Well Yuka, do you remember why were you out in the desert all alone? Where are your parents?" He asked once he was composed again, the smile fell and I frowned again. I chawed my bottom lip as I tried to think of what to tell them, and then that's when and image of the man handing me a scroll flashed in my mind. My eyes widened and I moved out from under the covers and reached into my pocket, only to find it missing.

"Um I remember a man he have me a scroll and told me to run." I said with a frown as I scratch my head and looked down at my empty hands.

"But I guess I lost it. I'm sorry." I muttered as I closed my eyes and cover my head with my hands, before bowing my head so it rested on the bed, before I started to cry. 'I can't believe it after everything that happened I lost the only thing that man gave me, he told me not to lose it! What if it was really important and it's just lying in the dessert somewhere? Those men risked their lives so that I could get away with the scroll! Damn it, I'm useless.'

Suddenly the door to the room was thrown open; I jumped at the noise and shifted back away from it, because there standing in the door way was the leader of the Sand Village himself- the Kazakage- Gaara's father.

"So this is the girl." He said in a bleak tone before stepping into the room and walking over to stand beside the bed, faster than the blink of an eye he had my chin in his large hands. I squeaked when it registered in my brain that someone was touching me, and tried to move back- only for his hand to grip my face tighter. I winced and scrunched up my face in pain, but didn't dear move again, after a second I relaxed my face and reopened my eyes. The Kazakage stared blankly at me and I stared right back, he continued for a moment longer before humming and dropping his hand to move back.

"Hm. Interesting." He muttered under his breath, I reached up and softly massaged my sore chin, as I frowned and blinked up at him. Slowly he reached into his robe and pulled out a scroll, no wait that's my scroll, my eyes widened at the sight of it.

"I have already sent a message to the leaf, until we get a reply rest." He said before he held out the scroll to me, hesitantly I held out my hand- he moved his hand a bit more and dropped it into my waiting palm. I frowned as I brought my arm back it my body, I looked down at it for a second before I looked back up at the man.

"Um…thank you! For helping me and-." I started to thank him, but he just held up a hand to silenced me, I closed my mouth and watch as he signalled for all the council members to follow him as he left the room.

I sat there for a second wondering what just happened. I am very curious about the Scroll, what could be written on it to make them so nice to me? I lifted it and saw a symbol on the top- then I opened it.

"Please contact the hidden leaf village Hokage, to get him to send shinobi to collect the girl. Make sure no harm comes to the girl; if she is harmed there will be war. Protect the girl and please make her stay comfortable. She is no threat to your village; she is merely a precious noble's child of the Leaf Village."

I don't understand how I am precious to the hidden leaf village; I'm not even from this world. I am so confused so many questions have been running though my head and it's starting to make my head hurt. I grabbed my head between my two hands to try to stop my head from splitting in two. After a minute the throbbing subsided and I let out a deep breath.

"Man that hurt! I wonder why? But I think it's best to just leave it be for now." I laid back down and re-pocketed the scroll, the medic worked in silence- as he healed my newly sore chin and the stiffness of my body. Once he was done, I thanked him with a kind smile as he left.


Time skip: about 3 hours

One of the men that was here earlier re-entered my room with a small knock, I quickly sat up at the sound and told him to enter, the man walked into the room with a younger man following close behind him.

"We have received word back, the leaf village is sending shinobi to come and get you. They will be here in two days' time, which will give you plenty of time to heal for your travel back." The man said very nervously, not once meeting my eyes.

"In the meantime, would you… I mean if you feel you are well enough, would you like to go out and take a walk around our village? I understand that it can be quite boring to just lay here." He said still looking at the ground, I didn't even have time to think about it before my stomach answered for me, I blushed remembering that I haven't eaten for two days.

"Um would it be OK if while out, I could have something to eat and drink, I haven't eaten for a couple of days." I said fiddling with the blanket on my lap, and I could fell the burn of my cheeks. 'How could I forget the last time I ate, it was with… and then it got all emptied out after that body flicker move.'

"Ow food, yes of course- this young man will be your guide and make sure you don't get hurt or lost." He said with a slight bow before moving back slightly and had the young man move forwards.

"Hello I am Yashamaru, what is your name?" He said given me a small kind smile, I blinked and took a closer look at his face- he looks so familiar, I wonder if he's an important character?

"Um…Ni...(cough, cough) sorry my name is Yuka, it's a pleasure to meet you Yashamaru." I said as I gave him a small smile of my own. 'Damn I almost told him my real name I have to be more careful.I can't remember but I think I have seen him somewhere before. So I'm not sure if he can be trusted or not because in the beginning most of the sand ninja's are bad guys, but then again I don't know where I landed in the story. Hopefully going out and looking around will help me figure out just when I am.'

"Well aren't you a polite young girl and it is nice to meet you too, now are you ready to go?" He moved to the side and held one arm out towards the door, before turning sideways and holding his other hand out to me. I gave him a big smile and nodded, I jumped out of the bed and ran over- hesitantly I grabbed his waiting hand. 'I am still not sure whether he is good or not but I am really excited to see the sand village, I mean how many people get to walk around in a village that's in an anime, this is so AWESOME I can't wait.' We left the building but he stopped after exiting the door, I turned and looked up at him.

"So what do you want to do, like where do you want to go?" He said as he knelt down so he could be eye level with me, I frowned a placed my finger it my bottom lip and hummed.

"Um could we get something to eat? Then do you know any good look out places? We could have like a picnic!" I said giving him a big smile, he chuckled and patted my head with a nodded, before he stood back up. Taking my hand again, he turned left and started walking.

"If you don't mind me asking how did you come to be in this village?" He said looking down to me as we walked; I noticed that the smile is no longer on his face. 'So they sent him to get information out of me, he is probably really good at telling when someone is lying I have to be careful.' I took a deep breath to calm myself and steady myself as well.

"Um I don't really remember much but…I was traveling with some ninja's… I think they were from the leaf village. Then out of nowhere other men from a different village started to attack us." I frowned and closed my eyes trying to think of how to explain to.

"There was so many, one of my traveling companions appeared out of nowhere and then we disappear and then appeared somewhere else- it was so awesome but scary." I said opening my eyes to look up at him with a smile, before I remembered what happened next and I the smile dropped, I squeezed his hand and squeezed my eyes shut.

"But…but then he was already injured, he…he told me….he told me to run but…but I couldn't just leave him, he would have died. So at a much slower pace we ran, but… (sob) they caught us and he got injured again, but he still got back up and this time demaded me to run. I… I couldn't do anything to help him… and I was just in the way…" I sobbed out as I started to cry again thinking about the man who saved me, all those man- all that blood, I didn't even know them and yet they did everything to save me.

"Maybe I should of ran when he told me to instead of arguing with him. But I just couldn't leave him there… he could barely stand let alone try and fight but I couldn't just leave him there- all alone surrounded by the enemy… trying to protect me but I also know that I was more of a burden then an real… help." I started crying more, and he stopped and knelt down again and placed his hands on my shoulders.

"You are a brave- and kind-hearted and an extremely smart young girl. I understand that you were just trying to help him, but you need to understand that there was nothing you could have done, he is a ninja and is his job to protect people like you. So no more tears, okay?" He then pulled me into his embrace and I couldn't help but cry even more. After a little bit I started to take in deep breaths and tried to stop crying. 'I mean you never know he could still be alive.' Yashamaru moved back slowly and placed his hands on my shoulders again.

"I am sorry I didn't mean for you to get upset, he must have been a really kind man to have someone as gentle as you to cry for him." He said as he wiped away the rest of my tears and gave me a kind small smile. 'You know what I am starting to think he is a good man, if only I could remember who he is.'

"It's OK, it's not your fault but yes he saved me many times in the short time we were together, he was a very kind-hearted man." I said looking at him, I don't really feel like smiling so I just wiped my face with my sleeve so that there were no more tears, and took a deep breath.

"So... How far is the lookout place?" I said trying to change the subject, his face changed into a look of shook. I think he almost forgot where we were meant to be heading, he stood back up and then straightened out his clothes. He held out his hand for me to take again, he smiled down to me and started to walk again.

"It's not far, you should be able to see it soon." He said after that we didn't talk and it felt kind of unconfutable, we stopped into a café and bought some food, before we continued. Every now and then he would point out some sights, or some harmless information about the village, but just before I could say anything I heard shouting and screaming coming from close by. I noticed that Yashamaru had heard it too and we took off running towards the sound, we turned a corner and saw some children up a head, then Yashamaru took off even faster and jumped in front of a little girl that is about to be hit with flying sand.

"You can't do this Gaara!" He shouted and I just remembered where I have seen the man before, 'he is Gaara's uncle, man I am so stupid why couldn't I have remember that sooner.' I do however remember this scene it's where the children are playing and then their ball lands on top of a ledge, Gaara gets it for them hoping they will let him play with them, only to have the kids run away and say that he is creepy- which makes Gaara upset and almost hurt the kids. I ran to the girl behind Yashamaru.

"It's ok, your safe now?" I said and bent down to help her up, I ran to the other children doing the same thing, all the children went straight to Yashamaru. He looked them over to make sure they weren't seriously injured, which I know they weren't so I just walked over to Gaara.

"Stop don't go near him, he is dangerous and creepy." One of the children that were just injured shouted to me when she saw me move towards him, but I chose to payed no attention to them I kept walking and stopped just I front of Gaara. I bent down and picked up his teddy bear that he always carries with him in the anime when he was a child, I stood back up and held it out towards him and gave him a big smile.

"Here this is yours isn't it?" He only nodded and took the teddy and hugged it to his chest and then looked at the ground again.

"My names Yuka, what's your name?" I hold out my hand as I introduced myself, he slowly looked up at my hand and then at me and I gave him a small smile.

"I'm… I'm G-Gaara" He said hesitantly but didn't shake my hand, I moved forward slowly. Even slower I reached out my hand and wrapped it around his.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Gaara." I said as I shook his hand up and down. 'OMG I just shook Gaara's hand, I mean The Gaara, if I could pick any Naruto character's hand to shake it would be Gaara's.'

"Will you play with me Gaara?" I said as I bent back down and picked up the ball. 'Gaara is the most misunderstood and feared in the Beginning of Naruto, if I can make his pain go away even if only for a couple of minutes I'm sure it will make his life a lot easier. I just can't stand it, how could everyone be so mean to him. Because he is even more hated and feared the Naruto, I just wish this world wasn't so cruel to people like them'

He nodded his head slowly and gave me a very small smile, I took a couple of steps back and then placed the ball on the ground and gently kicked it to him, it went straight to him and he stopped it with his foot. He swung his leg back and kicked the ball back to me, I giggled and kicked it back to him. We moved around a bit and I couldn't seem to keep the smile off my face, once again I kicked it to him but as he kicked it back, it lifted off the ground and went flying through the air. I turned and ran never taking my eye off the ball, I got in front of it intending to catch it, but as the ball hit my chest I fell backward and hit my head on the sand wall.

"Ouch, man that hurt!" I said as I rubbed the back of my head- where there is now a lump, I looked up at Gaara and saw his face. 'Oh no he is going to think that it's his fault and that he hurt's everyone, no no no that's not good, quick dummy think of something fast, Ow Got it.' I smiled and stood up, dusting myself off with one hand as I made my way back over to him.

"Hey Gaara that was quite a nice kick, you really got some power in those legs." I said laughing before I ran back over to him, so he wouldn't run away himself. He looked at me with shock written all over his face, his eyes were wide and he was clutching the teddy even harder.

"Hey, what's with that look? Did I got some dirt on my face or something?" I questioned with a tilt of my and a pouting. 'I really don't want him to be upset; he needs to be more confident.'

"I'm sorry, does your head hurt. I didn't mean to! Everyone around me always gets hurt." He said and looked at the ground, I can see that he is just about to cry, 'oh man now I've done it.'

"Hey it wasn't your fault that I hit my head and it doesn't hurt that bad anyway. I'm pretty tuff, so a little bump on the head is no biggy, ya know!" I said giving him a smile which he didn't see because he is still looking at the ground and I can see that tears have started to form.

"Gaara, will you be my friend? Oh I have an idea hold out your wrist and close your eyes." I said as I placed the ball on the ground and then held out one of my hands for him to take.

"You… you want to be my friend? But I just hurt you!" He said losing the battle to keep his tears in, I quickly moved forward and hugged him. I felt his body tense, so I wrapped my arms tighter before rubbing small circles on his back. His body didn't relax but I didn't hear him crying ether, so slowly I moved back and rested my hands on his shoulders.

"Of course I want to be your friend, you are so nice and I already said that hitting my head wasn't your fault, I am kind of clumsy so I manage to hurt myself all the time." I said laughing at myself and rubbing my head he looked up at me and gave me a small smile.

"So how about it, can we be friends or am I to weird, you know I only have two other friends everyone else thinks I'm to hypo and weird." I said giving him a smile, he smiled bigger at that so I held out my hand again, and he didn't hesitate to put one of his hands in it.

"Now close your eyes until I say so, OK?" He did as I said and closed his eyes, I smile before reaching up with my other hand and removed one of the coloured bracelets that my friends gave me for my birthday last year and tied it around his wrist.

"OK, you can open your eyes now!" He slowly opened his eyes and lifted his hand to look at the dark green bracelet that I gave him, a small smile came to his lips.

"This is a friendship bracelet, so as long as you wear it we will always be friends- no matter what!" I said before giving him a big smile (A big closed eyes smile), I opened my eyes and Gaara gave me a big smile quickly moved forwards to hugged me. 'OMG Gaara is HUGGING me this is so totally awesome, this is a dream come true.' I hugged him back, and giggle at how amazing this is.

"Promise me that no matter what happens we are always going to be friends! I think you're awesome, and I know that I'm really nothing special but I like you a lot!" I said when he pulled away; he blinked a couple of times before nodding his head.

"Are you OK Yuka? Here let me see your head." Yashamaru said as he came up behind me making me jump out of my skin. 'Man ninja's can be so quite when they want to be, it's so not fare.'

"AHH, OW MOTHER OF GOD SHITTY DUN." I shouted in surprised and his behind Gaara in a flash.

"Um, Sorry about that you just snuck up on me!" I said with a embarrass smile, when I saw him look at me strangely, slowly I moved to stand beside Gaara again.

"Haha right, Sorry. I didn't mean to, just a force of habit I guess!" He said with a chuckle as he knelt down to look at my head, I stood still and looked at Gaara. He looked sad so when Yashamaru started to poke around the area I started to pulled a silly faces.

"Haha Your... so… Weird.." Gaara said though laughter. 'YAY I made him laugh, and he's so cute when he laughs. Ow I just want to squeeze him- what a CUTIE, which considering that I barely get to see him smile in the anime it's actually quite a sight see him laughing.'

"OK so your head doesn't look too bad but-." Yashamaru started too said before I turned around and gave him my best puppy dog eyes.

"So can Gaara here join us for our picnic? Please it would be so fun, Pleaseee?" I begged, and pocked my bottom lip out for extra with bringing my hands together in a begging manner. He flinched back slightly when I decided to throw in a couple of tears for the effect.

"Ahh alright fine he can join us, just stop already! I thought we agree no more tears?" He said waving his arms around to try and stop me from crying, and muttered the last part more to himself then me.

"Yay! Isn't this awesome Gaara? So do you wanna come eat with us? Yashamaru here says he knows where some cool views are, but I get the feeling he doesn't!" I cheered as I turned to Gaara with a large smile and only whisper the last part to him, he giggle at my comment but we both cracked up when a offended noise came from Yashamaru letting us know that he heard me.

"Yeah, yeah very funny. So are we going to go or not?" He said before muttering something about 'damn cute kids, and there puppy eyes.' I stopped laughing and nodded my head before turning to Gaara again.

"Come on Gaara, I be you know some beautiful spots right?" I said as I grabbed his hand and started to skip away, for the first couple of steps he stumbled before he righted himself and then started to pull me along.

"Yeah I know this amazing spot, come on." He said happily as he pulled me quicker, I giggle and moved for a skip to a jog to keep up.

"Come on Yashi, or you'll get left behind." I called back to him when I looked behind me to see that Yashamaru hadn't moved, before turning back to squeeze Gaara's hand. He turned his head to look back at me; I smiled widely and squeezed again. He laughed and squeezed my hand back before he stopped near a really large rock wall, he tugged my hand and my body moved forwards to stand really close to his.

"Um… don't be scared okay!" He said softly before wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to his chest, then I felt chakra move around us before moving beneath us. Slowly I looked down and saw sand lifting us, I gasped before looking back up to Gaara's face.

"Are you doing this?" I asked with wide eyes, his face fell and he looked down before slowly nodding his head. I squealed and tackled him in a hug, before pulling back and giggling.

"This is so cool, it's like we're flying! You're so awesome Gaara; can you do other things with sand?" I asked happily as I practically jumped up and down, he looked wide eyed at me before slowly nodding. I smiled widely as I looked all around us, I could see Yashamaru running up the wall under us and I waved down at him. When we got to the top Gaara gently moved the sand away so we were once again on solid ground, before he slowly removed his arms from around me and stepping away.

"Wow this is incredible." I gushed as I looked around to see the beautiful lay out of the setting sun and the golden sand dunes; I turned and hugged Gaara with a smile.

"Thank you, this is so pretty." I said before moving slightly onto my tippy toes to kiss his forehead- where the tattoo will be, slowly I moved back with a smile only to see Gaara with wide eyes and a bright blush on his cheeks. I cover my giggle with my hand before grabbing his hand with the other and move to face the setting sun again, just then Yashamaru made it to the top and started to set up the picnic.

"Your right Gaara, this place is amazing." Yashamaru said as we all sat down in a circle to eat, I nodded and smiled over at Gaara. He looked down with a shy smile and squealed before tackling him in a hug.

"Ow your just too cute." I squealed, Yashamaru chuckled and held out two containers of food for us. I smiled and moved back to take mine.

"Thanks Yashi." I said with a bright smile, shook his head with a smile and picked up his own.

"Thanks uncle." Gaara muttered before starting to eat his own food, I coughed and nearly choked on my food.

"Hey, hey take it easy, you alright now?" Yashamaru said as he patted my back, I coughed a couple more times before nodding my head.

"Uncle? You mean he's your uncle Gaara?" I asked as I started wide eyed at them. 'Well have to make it look like I didn't know.'

"Um-hm, uncle takes care of me." He said as he continued to eat, I looked over at him sadly and lowered my head.

"Ow do you have any other family?" I asked as I lifted my head slightly to continue eating myself, he nodded his head slowly before he lowered his food.

"Yeah I have a big sister and brother but they don't like me, and dads always busy so uncle looks after me. What about you? Do you have any family?" He said softly before looking over at me, I frowned and looked down.

"Gaara-." Yashamaru started to scold him before I cut him off.

"No its okay, um to tell you the truth I don't really know! I don't even know my real name, I just thought that Yuka was a nice name, and I figure it would be easier for people to call me that instead of 'you' or 'kid', ya know!" I said with a sad smile before starting to eat again when my stomach groaned. 'I really don't want to lie to him, but I need to keep a front that I can't remember anything.'

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you sad. Here you can hug teddy if you want?" Gaara said moving closer to me and holding out the bear, I looked up at him and then covered my giggle with my hand.

"Thank you Gaara, and it's okay you didn't make me sad. I mean it's not your fault and I'm sure I will get my memories back seen, but I'm glad that I got to find a kind and amazing friend while I'm here." I said with a wide smile, he returned the smile before sitting back- but closer to me.

"Well I am going to have to return you to the hospital now. I am afraid we are already late getting you back, and I think it would be good if you don't move around too much more." Yashamaru said as he stood up and dusted off his clothes, Gaara and my head shoot up to look at him.

"Gaara I think it would be best if-." Yashamaru started before I cut him off.

"Hey can Gaara come with us to drop me off please?" I begged as I wrapped one of my arms around Gaara's shoulder.

"Please I would really like to talk to Gaara more please, oh please." I said hoping that he doesn't make Gaara go home by himself because if he does I don't know if he is still going to kill that drunk man or not but I just don't want to take that risk.

"How about it Gaara would you like to come with me to drop Yuka off at the hospital?" Yashamaru said looking down at Gaara with a smile.

"Can I really come with you uncle?" He said looking up at Yashamaru with hope in his eyes.

"Yes if you want too! I don't see way not." He said as he reached out and ruffled Gaara's hair.

"Yay then let's go." I said as I grabbed Gaara's hand and took off running, only to stop at the edge of the wall, I gave a nevus chuckle as I looked back at them.

"Haha I forgot we were up here." I scratched the back of my head and dipped my head a bit- when I saw Yashamaru shake his head and sigh.

"Alright you two wait for me at the bottom, I'll pack this up and be down in a second!" He said before he started to collect all our empty containers and put them back in the back, I nodded before smiling and turning to Gaara. He had a wide smile of his own as he opened is arms wide; I didn't hesitate to move into them. Again I felt the chakra before we were lifted and started to move over the side.

"Catch us if you can." I said looking back at Yashamaru and stuck my tongue out at him and laughed, I looked over at Gaara and saw him smiling.

"Come on as soon as we get to the bottom, we need to run faster so he doesn't catch us!" I said laughing, I felt us move downwards quicker. I looked up to see Yashamaru charging down the side of the wall- trying to catch us. We landed and I quickly grabbed Gaara's hand, we took off running as I laughed- ran just a little bit quicker when I hear Yashamaru yelling at us not to far behind us. I was never very good at running and having become younger doesn't help any. Of course me being so clumsily I tripped over my own foot and fully face planted it into the ground.

"OCH." I moaned as I stayed facedown, lucky I had let go of Gaara's hand at the last-minute- or he would have been pulled down with me.

"Are you OK?" I hear Gaara and Yashamaru say at the same time.

"Yep I'm fine" I said with my face still in the dirt, I rolled over onto my back and sat up and wiped my face with my hands. Yashamaru walked over to me and lifted me up to stand.

"Thank you, well I guess you caught us then. Meany!" I said pouting as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Yes I did, but I am pretty sure I told you two to wait and the bottom and that you shouldn't move around so much with that head injury?" He said as he reached up and started to pull my cheeks- he made his face look angry, but I know he is just trying not to laugh.

"OCH okay I'm sorry, stop please stop." I whine as I reached up to try and remove his hands, he pulled them further- which made me whine louder and stop moving my head.

"Now are you going to listen to me or am I going to have to conti-." He started and he pulled a bit more, I squeezed my eyes shut and started to wave my arms around.

"Yes, yes I'll listen just STOOOPP, PLEASE!" I begged, I heard him sigh before he let go, I instantly reached up and started to rub my abused cheeks with a pout- while glaring at him.

"I'm sorry but if you keep moving around like you are, you're going to put yourself in a coma." He said looking down at me with worry in his eyes.

"OK fine but Gaara is still coming with us just no more running deal?" I said holding out my hand to Yashamaru, he gave a small chuckle and shook my hand.

"You make a one hell of a bargain young girl." We all laughed at that and walked back to the hospital.


"I'm sorry." I said as I turned to Gaara and wrapped my arm around his shoulder, he turned his head and looked at me with a frown.

"I know I made you sad earlier, but hey look at it this way, it's kind of good that Yashamaru isn't weird-looking." I said raising my voice a bit so Yashamaru can hear me; he turned his head to look at me with a frown of his own, I held back my evil chuckle and just focused on Gaara.

"Why?" He asked as he tilted his head, I just smiled and lend over so my head was right next to Gaara's ear.

"Because now you can make him look weird by drawing on his face while he's sleeping and make him look really silly." I whispered in Gaara's ear which made him giggle and look at Yashamaru, Yashamaru looked from me to Gaara and then back to me again.

"What did you just tell him?" He said looking at me, I just smiled and grabbed Gaara's hand again and walked past him.

"I guess you will never know until it happens." I said looking back at him with a straight and slightly scary face, and then I released my evil chuckle.

"Hey Gaara would you like to learn a song that will help you never feel alone?" I asked as looking straight ahead, with a small smile on my face

"Yes please!" He said with a bright smile, and I felt him squeeze my hand.

"OK I can't remember all of it but I'll song for you what I remember?" I saw him nod out of the corner of my eye.

"This life don't last forever.
So tell me what we're waiting for.
We're Better off being together.
Than being miserable alone.

Cause I've been there before.
And you've been there before.
But together we can be alright.
Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold.
We hold each other till we see the sunlight.
So if you just.

Hold my hand.
Baby I promise that I'll do,
All I can.
Things will get better if you just hold my hand.
Nothing can come between us if you just hold,
hold my, hold, hold my, hooold, hold my hand.
Hold my hand

The nights are getting darker.
And there's no peace inside.
So why make our lives harder.
By fighting love, tonight. "

"Um… I know there's more but I just can't remember what it is, it's really easy to learn but I can write it down for you to remember if you like?" I asked before I looked over at him and saw that he and Yashamaru had their mouths open and were staring at me.

"What?" I asked with wide eyes as I backed up a bit.

"You have a really nice voice." Yashamaru said as he shook his head as if trying to wrap his head around it.

"Yes! It's really beautiful." Gaara said nodding and smiling, as he moved over to stand in front of me.

"Thank you both, I do like sing, but I normal don't sing for people." I said smiling at them as I blushed and ducked my head.

"Anyway we better get going it's gotten quiet dark now." I said feeling a bit uncomfortable with them still staring at me.

"Yes your right, let's go and when we get there I'll write the song down for Gaara." Yashamaru said smiling at Gaara.

"Thank you so much uncle." Gaara said returning the smile.

And we started walking again; little did we know that we were being followed the whole day but a mysteries figure that stayed to the shadows- just waiting for the time to strike.
