"speaking" 'thoughts'

Ai's p.o.v.

We walked through hallway upon hallway, which was until Kankuro stopped at a door. He knocked. A woman opened the door. She had blonde hair that was tied up into four different spiky ponytails. She wore a black kimono like dress with a red obi around her waist. In her hand was a huge fan.

"Kankuro wh..." She looked over at me and then continued. "Who do we have here now?"

"Temari, this is Amaki Ai." Kankuro said pointing to me. "Ai this is my sister, Temari."

"It's nice to meet you Temari." I said then bowed. She did the same.

"Likewise, may I ask something?" I nodded, "Why is a Konoha ninja here in the Sand village?" She said as she put her hands on her hips and waited, impatiently.

I stood there dumbfounded, I never thought how it must have looked. A Konoha ninja, wanting to see the Kazekage. It must have looked suspicious.

"Oh, I almost forgot...I have a message for the Kazekage, from the Hokage." I said and took out the scroll.

"I see, then come in and welcome to the Hidden sand village." She stepped aside and let me through the door. When I walked in I was a boy, which I guessed to be the Kazekage, standing in front of a round glass window. He had blood red hair and from what I could tell, his skin was pale. Temari walked over to the boy and said something in his ear, she then led me to a chair in front of a desk. The red haired Kazekage then turned slightly, then turned back to the window.

sigh "The Hokage sent you," He said in an emotionless tone, his voice was deep, not what I had expected from someone my age. He then turned to face me. pound I gasped when I saw his face. He had pale blue eyes, they were rimed with black. He had a kanji on his forehead, it said love. My eyes widened at the sight of it. "with a message."

I couldn't speak, it was like I had no vocal cords. So instead I nodded and handed him the scroll. To my surprise sand came up and took it from my hand. The sand brought it to him and he opened it up. His eyes widened as he read. He looked at me, his brow scrunched together. He looked deep in thought. "What is your name?" He asked like he was uninterested in what the answer was.

"Amaki Ai, Kazekage-sama." I said as I looked to the ground.

Gaara's p.o.v

I looked at her, eyes wide, I knew that the shock showed on my face. It quickly went back to having an emotionless look. Her voice was gentle but yet it was...unique. There was something about her that interested me. I fingered for Temari,

"Get her a place to stay and show her around, understood." I whispered so Ai couldn't hear.

"Understood Gaara-sama. If you don't mind me asking...but what did that message say?"

I didn't say anything.

"Gaara! I'm asking you was a big sister, what did the message say?" I looked into her eyes, big mistake. I could see the pleading in them.

sigh "I will tell you when I get back from a meeting with the elders...ok." I said not wanting to discuss it anymore.

"Kazekage-sama, may I leave? I haven't eaten anything in almost three days and I'm parched."

"Please call me Gaara and yes you may leave. Temari show Ai-chan around and take her out to eat."

"Yes Gaara-sama." With that they left, leaving me alone.

' Apparently, lady Tsunade said that Ai is just like me. But I didn't see anything wrong. She...blush...she is perfect.' I felt my face redden. I never blush, I just don't. Maybe I was more interested in Ai then I first thought...
