Sorry about the chapter mix up before, I had accidentally skipped a chapter. My apologies.

Chapter three:

"Lord Kazekage! Open the door immediately!" a loud yelling came through the otherside of the buildings front door, Temari snapped out of her daze and stopped polishing her fan to get up and walk to the door.

"What is it?" she asked in a sharp tone and narrowed her eyes. Two of the sand's shinobi had burst through the door, panting heavily and drowned in sweat.

"A young girl, she is in critical condition!" one of them yelled. Temari shown no interest in helping her, "So?" she spat, "Why are you telling me this when you should be taking her to the medical corps?"

They shook their heads, "This girl knows the Kazekage's name!" they panicked, "We wanted to know why she has been in critical condition looking for our lord"

Temari raised a brow, "She knows his name huh?" she muttered to herself, "Well bring her inside and I'll see if I know her and fix her up while I'm at it"

As the ninja carried my limp body inside the home they carefully lay me on the cold floor. Temari gave me a good observing, her eyes narrowed at my dusty and torn black cloak, "She has been working hard to get here. All her clothes are tattered" she observed and dusted off her cloak a little. Her eyes wondered about the girl until she reached the head that had a cloak hiding her face.

Temari carefully for the hood and slowly began to take it back, and as soon as it was off her eyes widened, "N-no!! It can't be! Its impossible!!!" she cried out in fear and shook like a rag doll. The ninja came to attend her, "What is it my lady?"

She looked past her shoulder and had a pure fearful look inside her jade eyes.

As the people took in my limp body, they didn't realize they were being watched. The Kazekage narrowed his rimmed eyes as they took me inside. This was not bitterness but cautiousness. Almost as if looking straight through me, he growled as he felt a strange aura hidden deep within my body. It wasn't ripping at him like a demon's aura but just looking at the young body, he felt a strange sensation. A comforting one and he felt good. Although the aura wasn't an evil one, his own demon seemed to cower at it, it was a demon killer. More powerful then his own by far he could tell almost instantly.

"Don't be afraid Gaara…" a feminine voice suddenly rang, in his head. His heart almost seemed to stop at the power in the voice yet also holding a comforting melody to it.

"So your that source of the strange aura?" he growled almost bitterly.

"Gaara please do not act so bitter, it hurts me," she whispered sadly and a soft wind seemed to brush past him and caress his face.

"I promise not to harm a hair on your beautiful head, my dear" she whispered and he felt a warm breath on his hair and his face felt like it was being held by an actual lady.

Gaara hesitated and took a step back, "how are you familiar with me?" he demanded an answer to, trying his best to put up a guard in the spirits presence.

He glared at the spirit as she laughed quietly to herself, "You'll see my dear, you'll see"

Gaara then felt the surge of power leave him, he felt so confused. But now that he'd heard her voice, he wanted to see her host that contained the beautiful spirit. Praying to god it wasn't a trap, he looked at his hands and ran as fast as he could down the stairs and to the door leading to the main entrance room after ten minutes of running through the large mansion, going through the many rooms, looking for her desperately.

As he finally reached the wooden door leading into the entrance room, he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Lord Kazekage, you have a stack of papers to attend to" a stern voice reminded him. Gaara looked over his shoulder to see his previous sensei, Baki once again. Gaara's eyes widened, "But!" he argued and looked to the door where Temari and the girl were.

Baki shook his head, "You've been slacking off, and its time you made up for it" Baki scolded Gaara. Even though Gaara was Kazekage now, Baki still acted as if he was still his sensei. Old habits die hard.

"Lady Temari! Please tell us what this girl is!" the ninja begged her, Temari remained as quiet as a mouse, shaking heavily. She looked towards the ninja, "Get me a glass of water now, she's critically dehydrated!" Temari ordered them.

"Yes!" They responded and ran for water. Temari sighed and looked back at the girl, "Is… is that really you…" she felt tears come to her eyes and continued to dust her off, "…Rani?"

She brushed her thumb on my dry skin and a tear fell, "well… if it really is you…" she whispered to me and wiped her tears away, "For my brother's sake… if I can help it your going to live!" she stood up and ran after the ninja and swiped the glass from his hands before running to me again.

"Please… wake up…" she whispered to me and splashed the glass over my face. A great smile went to her face as I spluttered and coughed, "She's coming to!" she cried in joy and held me up as I coughed.

The ninja ran to me, and knelt behind Temari.

I put my hands on my head and groaned, my head throbbed from before.

"shh… don't rush yourself" I heard a comforting and feminine voice try to settle me and I felt her give me something cold in my hands.

"Just drink up" she told me and I did as she said, it felt like such a relief to drink some water after this long. I drank it all down and panted afterwards, I felt her put her arms around me and lay me back down soon after, but now, I felt something soft underneath me. I didn't have the strength or the energy to open my eyes and get up. So for now, I was tired and as I opened my eyes I saw a yellow, black and purple blur.

I felt a soft hand on my cheek, "Its gonna be ok Rani… now have some rest…"

The voice felt so familiar, like an older sister and I smiled warmly to the blurred person before closing my eyes and dosing into my own little world.

Temari smiled as I slept quietly, she thought about how calmed I seemed to be only in sleep.

"Its so strange," the thought, "You've barely changed at all…"

But then she looked down, "What would Gaara think?" she sighed and looked at me again, "Maybe we shouldn't tell him just yet… lets wait until you wake up…" she whispered to me and eventually got up then walking out the door, standing in the door frame to look at me once more, "Gaara…" he thought quietly and smiled, "mother nature must like you a lot…"
