People became disgusted with how close she got to the monster or became sad for the child trapped by him when in actuality she was extremely happy. She had noticed he had gotten colder and cruel to the world around them but to her she was the same kind boy she knew since they were children. For now they made their way to the leaf village for the chunin exams with his siblings to them she was nothing more than his pet she was there to support him. Right as they got into town they encountered a blonde boy a pink haired girl and an uchiha with 3 small children. A scene would ensue. The uchiha was freaked out cause he couldn't feel gaaras presence at alall. He was upside down on the tree branch and haru appeared in front of him
I'd appreciate if you didn't stare at master like that kid.
That scared the uchiha enough to fall flat on his head which caused the blonde boy to laugh while the pink haired girl got mad.
How dare you talk to sasuke like that you cow!
She tried to slap haru but she already had moved to sit beside gaara who was standing on the tree branch which was very lucky for her cause gaaras sand was ready to send her to an early death.
Sensei's waiting gaara
With that the three disappeared leaving haru to deal with the leaf genin
Who are you guys?
Sand village ninja. Here for the chunin three should really work on your hospitality.
She smiled as she flipped off the tree and started walking to observe the village.
Who do you think you are!?
Haru.
Whay are you doing here?
I'm here to support my master
The smile never leaving her face
The red hair kid? Aren't you a bit young have a master?
No... aha! I found it!
She was so excited she found exactly what she was looking for she ran off smiling they thought she was strangest was running straight to gaara till a ninja attempted to tackle her down but she dodged it flipping over him.
Haru!?
Sorry stranger don't have time to sit and talk.
She made it to the balcony of the room gaara was staying she laid there feet dangling over the edge smiling gaara Sat behind her.
You didn't have to run all the way here
I wanted to be with my master
She sat up smiling at him he got closer running his hands through her hair pulling her close to whisper in her ear causing her to blush.

He touched her pendant
You still have that?
Of course only thing that connects me to my past even if I don't remember it I'm really happy to have you Gaara ALWAYS.
And forever.
Which reminds me. I got you something close your eyes and stick out your hand.
He did as he was told once he felt something wrap around his wrist he opened his eyes to see a leather wrist band and cake with candles.
Happy brithday gaara! !
He kissed her on the cheek when she wasn't paying attention which caused her to blush temari walked in.

Any reason why?
Not a clue. You'll be able to go when we're taking our first exam don't forget.
I won't thanks temari
She closed the door.
Alright then make a wish!
He blew out his candles they smiled at each other after eating the cake she laid her head on his lap as he looked up at the moon she was about fall asleep.
Hey gaara?
Yes haru.
Are you happy?
Of course. As long as I have you.
Next day:
Gaara and his siblings were about to go into the first part of the exams so they had to say their goodbyes.

She said whispering his name and smiling. They had gone in she was making her way to the hokages office till she ran into the kids from yesterday.

He opened the door and she stood in front of the third hokage he seemed to be shocked and relieved he immediately hugged her she wasn't sure what to do so she just let it happened stared at her tears rolling down his cheeks another ninja came in and did exactly the same thing.
