Author's Notes//: I see now what my friend was talking about my story being confusing, so I wanted to clear a few things up…

grist: thnx so much for the review! To answer your questions, yes she is suppose to be a childhood friend. There is going to be a flashback in this one that should explain how she met him. About my transition, I'm going to be putting in (P.O.V.) This will also be included in this chapter. I hope this will clear up some confusion!

Italic: Is used for thoughts and centered. I think this might clear up some of the confusion as well.

Note//: Also don't be confused about the opening for each one… It's something extra I was putting. I it gets to confusing, please tell me and I stop opening each chapter in that way! Bare with me I'm new at making stories.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I only own Amaya and this story line…Seriously I think we all get it by now!

The innocence you once owned, stolen from you your grasp. Aimlessly walking in circles with no sense of direction. This path of life you no longer walk, with reasons you both know and hate.

I found a place to live after then gruesome paperwork from yesterday. I was going to register for a new headband tomorrow, but today I had one goal in mind…find him. First thought of where to look was obvious, his house. And that brings me to where I'm out now…standing…here…right outside his door. For a few seconds I argued with myself.

"What if he doesn't answer?"

"What if he doesn't remember?"

-Flashback-

Rocks, lay scattered on the ground. They were left from what I used to throw at a bunch of kids. Before you go and jump to conclusions, they had it coming. I saw them…They were pushing and shoving some kid around…I heard what they called him:

"Monster."

I turned to the red head boy who was laying on the ground. His eyes widened with shock when I offered him a hand. At first he didn't take it… Maybe he thought it was some kind of joke? He soon took my offer. His hand were soft and I gave him a small smile. He struggled a bit at first, but eventually gave one back. It was then that I made my first friend.

"Gaara."

"Hello…HELLO," yelled a blonde hair girl. I guess I forgot what I was doing. I must had knocked on the door involuntary. I recognized her to Temari. I quickly ask if Gaara was here and I was surprised to find out she understood what I had asked.

"I'm sorry, but he is not here right now. You can come in and wait for him if you like," she offered holding the door wider for me to get past. I hesitated, but went inside anyways.

"You look familiar do I know you by chance?" She asked. I pulled out a picture from my kunai pouch. It was the one take with me and Gaara before I was forced to leave the sand village. We stopped in the kitchen and she took a seat and patted the chair right next to her. I seat down and waited for her to say something. Silence fell across the room for what seemed like forever. When she finally spoke I was overwhelmed with words.

"I can't believe it! You look good, I hardly recognized you. How have you been? Would you like to go shopping with me sometime? We can get are hair done," Temari said in one breath. It was apparent that she didn't get much girl time. Things fell silent once again, but this time it was different. Temari's face held distress. She shifted her head towards the side.

"You know…he's changed, Temari spoke. The words were filled with sadness. "A lot happen after you left," she said without looking at me. "I'm sorry, but it's not my place to tell you what happened. You must ask him yourself, but I don't think he remembers you," she finished and finally turned her head back towards me. I was afraid he wouldn't remember, but I wouldn't let my face show it.

"I understand," I said while giving her a smile.

"I'll just have to remind him."

Gaara's P.O.V.

I was standing on the tallest building of Suna. I watched the people below go about their business. My mind drift to yesterday.

"I didn't get her name," I said to myself. The only reason I cared so much was because she looked so familiar, it drove me crazy. Shukaku was at bay, so it gave me time to think to myself. I considered finding her and demanding she tell me who she was. In the end I decided to wait. She would eventually show up…eventually.

Notes://: Okay next chapter up I know I'm slow but I have limited computer access! Anime Central is also coming up and I need to prepare! I hope for more reviews, there my writing drug…
