I Don't Want to be Alone.

Disclaimer: Don't own it…wish I did…I do own Rei-Rei Tenjo though.

When Gaara emerged from the village with a sleeping girl in his arms Temari thought that she had gone insane. Kankuro lifted a brow in question but Gaara said nothing as they followed him.

"Who is this girl?"

Gaara said nothing.

"Why are you bringing her?"

He stopped suddenly and turned to his sister.

"There is a lake not to far away right?"

She nodded, her purple eyes looking at the girls white face. The girl reminded her of the Hyuuga boy, Neji, as their hair was equally long. "Take her and wash her…change her into this shirt." He said handing her on of his shirts. When he tried to hand her to his sister the girl stirred then looked alarmed.

"Don't worry girl, I wont bite." Temari said with a smile. The girl looked back at Gaara for a moment as though asking if it were safe, he nodded and she let herself be taken by Temari and as Temari walked towards the lake the girl just starred back at Gaara. Her blue eyes still far away and pained but with a bit of relief.

"What happened to her family?" Kankuro asked suddenly. "Why'd you bring her?"

"They're dead, like the rest of that village."

Kankuro nodded.

"You still didn't answer my question."

Gaara said nothing, silently asking himself the same question. Why had he brought her with him?

Temari was finished washing the girl, dried her off and changed her into the long shirt that Gaara had given her. She took the slightly burnt, dirty kimono in her hands and began to wash it until the girl put her hand on Temari's and shook her head.

"It's soiled." The girl said. "I don't want it anymore."

"You sure kid?"

The girl nodded and so Temari just let it fall into the water. For a moment both just starred at the water and then Temari pulled out a brush and brought the girl in front of her and began to brush her long black hair.

"How old are you?"

The girl answered quickly.

"Four."

Temari nodded.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No."

Temari finished brushing the girls long hair and, like Neji's, tied it at the end. She turned the girl around and inspected her. She looked like a Hyuuga child, with the exception of bright blue eyes, and she was almost consumed by the large shirt. Temari thought for a moment before taking her hair down and fastening the ribbons that had tied her hair together and then tying them around the girls' small waist.

"Much better." She said as the shirt now looked less billowy and more fastened to the girls' body. She smiled kindly touching the top of the girls head.

"What's your name, girl?"

The little girl starred blankly.

"Rei-Rei Tenjou."

"Rei-Rei…well I'm Temari."

The girl nodded.

"Thank you Ms. Temari."

Temari shook her head smiling. 'Poor girl. She looks half alive.' She thought before picking the girl up and walking towards the clearing where she had left her brothers."It's Temari, not Ms. I'm not old."

The girl nodded with a small smile, hugging Temari. She shut her blue eyes.

"Is she alright?" Gaara asked looking at the small girl.

"Right as rain. She's just a bit shocked, poor thing. Her names Rei-Rei by the way." Temari said handing her back to Gaara, who surprisingly took her and held her tightly.

"Rei-Rei huh? Nice name." Kankuro said peering at the small girl in his brother's arms. "Looks like a Hyuuga to me. Any relation?"

"No, her eyes are normal, but I thought the same thing."

The three began walking. Kankuro and Temari arguing as normal while Gaara walked silently. Suddenly the girl stirred and looked up at her savior and smiled.

"Thank you Sir." She said quietly.

"You're awake."

She nodded.

"Where are we going, Sir?"

"Home."

'Home?' Rei-Rei thought hugging him and shutting her eyes again for a moment. Her home was gone, where would she go now? 'Do I have a home.?'

Almost sensing her thoughts Gaara reassured her with his monotonous reply.

"We're going to my home."

"It's okay with you, Sir?"

He said nothing for the longest moment.

"Sir?"

"Sure." He said. "As long as you like, you can stay with me."

"Thank you." She said with a sigh. "Thank you, Sir…thank you…"

"It's Gaara."

She smiled.

"Gaara…" She leaned into the crook of his neck. 'I want to stay with you forever…' She thought to herself sadly. 'Forever and ever…'

Sera: Cute and sad. Poor girl. Oh, it's so cute that she wants to stay with him forever isn't it? It's sweet that he doesn't know why he brought her with him but wants her around. She's like him, in a way, he thinks so anyway. She's dead on the inside. Comment if ya likes!

Oh! There will be romance in this fic but of course NOT between Rei-Rei and Gaara that'd be gross! shivers Ew Ew…my brother figured that so I just had to add that it WOULD NOT happen. But a girl from Konoha will be with Gaara-Kun…Comment please and OH! If you comment with an idea of who the girl should be, picking between :Ten-Ten, Ino, Sakura, Hinata and or any other girl…kinda like a poll I guess.

COMMENT PLEASE!
