Kitsunae arrived home to see her favorite Ambu black op. that took care of her as a baby. Quickly she ran up to the Black op and gave her a huge hug and said " Ami, what are you doing here?" Ami responded " Sasuke is going to train with Kakashi for the rest of the month and will be gone. He asked me to tell you." Kitsunae's mood dropped quite dramatically when she heard that. " And I came to inform you that I've been keeping tabs on you since you were released into the village." Kitsunae instantly became serious and said " So, you know?" Ami nodded her head and replied " Yeah, I haven't told the Hokage or Sasuke, because I know full well that you could have killed that boy if you wanted to. But I think you should know what your getting into." Ami dropped a file at Kitsunae's feet. " I'll be watching you and remember to stop by my place for dinner every now and again. I haven't seen you since you were reintroduced to the village. At least to your knowledge. Well what did you expect I'd just let you go into the village on your own unprotected? See you later Kitsunae, oh and " she added her eyes softening up " be safe."
With that Ami disappeared. Kitsunae picked up the file to read the word Gaara. Kitsunae though " She left me Gaara's file? She must be really worried. I don't know if I should read this." Kitsunae took the file into her room and stared at it for hours. It was the wee hours of the morning and she was hugging the file to her chest, unable to sleep, rocking back and forth trying to decide what to do. Finally she opened it and began to read. Horrified tears ran down her cheeks and she read about Gaara's life. She read about the demon sealed inside of him, how he was created to be a weapon but was deemed to powerful and that his father tried to kill him often because of it. She remembered her own pain of losing her own parents because of her power and if just a little bit, understood Gaara's aversions to humans and his assumption of hate to everything. She learned as a child he was feared by everyone, even his siblings. She knew at least she had people to take care of her growing up, some kind of substitute for the parents she'd never had and was sad Gaara never even had that.
She cried over the terrible life Gaara had had. Really not even giving much thought to the extremely high killing total on his file. She cried the tears she knew that he would never shed ( at least now he would never shed).She had read from early morning well into the afternoon. Finally sleep over took her causing her to fall into a deep slumber, still holding the file. It was late at night and Gaara grew impatient waiting for Kitsunae, finally decided to go to the Uchiha district and find her. He made a seal in his sand and disappeared and reappeared by her bedroom window. Quietly he went in it careful not to make any noise not sure if Sasuke was there or not. He found her sleeping and when he saw her so peaceful a barely perceptible smile crossed his lips. But then he noticed the tear stains on her face and saw her clutching something in her sleep. He swiftly grabbed out from underneath her with out waking her to see what it was.
As soon the file was gone Kitsunae began to toss and turn restlessly, saying Gaara over and over. When Gaara realized what the file was he began to put everything together, but to him the picture was she was afraid and horrified with him. He stayed for hours watching her wondering what would happen when she woke up. Finally as the sun started up to come up Kitsunae woke. When she realized it was morning she shot up wondering how to explain to Gaara why she wasn't there last night until she heard Gaara's voice " So now you know." Gaara waited for her to run or scream for help or anything. But she just sat there and said " Know what? " So Gaara said angrily " Everything in that is in that file. My past the truth you didn't know. Are you afraid of me now!"
She waited for him to finish and told him " NO!! I'm not afraid of you if you mean by afraid want you to leave. Gaara your past it makes me sad at what people have done to you, but I don't care about your past it doesn't change how I feel about you!!" Gaara stared at this girl trying to figure out if she was an angel or completely insane. Gaara walked over to her and picked her up, made a seal in the sand and brought them to the training grounds. He quietly set her down and stared and her for a while. Kitsunae couldn't bare it anymore, she threw her arms around Gaara neck and cried into his chest. Gaara was a little shocked, for she had never touched him on her own except to slap him. He very slowly wrapped his arms around her waist not wanting to startle her. He held her very lightly as if afraid he would hurt her. But she is so tiny and delicate who wouldn't be afraid of that. When she her sob subsided he took on hand from her waist and grabbed her chin to make her look at him. Very carefully and very gently Gaara bent down and kissed her. Kitsunae shocked, shivered as he kissed her, but slowly yielded to the kiss. Finally she had to break away from the kiss gasping for air. Gaara's eyes flashed yellow for just a seconded making Kitsunae gasp. Quickly Gaara leaned down to her ear and whispered "Your mine, Kitsunae!" Again this caused Kitsunae to gasp, but she did not deny what he said.
All of a sudden she pulled away and said " You know Gaara, I've always wanted to climb that tree. The one we always stand under." When Gaara heard this he couldn't help but grin. She never did what he expected. To him she was a very hyper, energetic angel. Kitsunae climbed all the way to the top waved at Gaara and was making her way down until a branch under her broke. And before she could form a seal to save her self her head hit a branch knocking her into unconsciousness. Gaara jumped up into the tree and caught her before she hit the ground. He checked her head to find it was bleeding horribly. Gaara didn't know what to do. He knew if he took her to the hospital there would be more questions then he was willing to answer.
Finally he decided to take her to Temari. She had a lot of experience with wounds, a good portion of them he'd inflicted. He formed a seal in the sand transporting them to hid hotel where he knew Temari would be. Gaara gently set the unconscious girl on his bed in his room in the hotel. He opened Temari's door and called in with the usual cold indifferent voice "Temari, I need your help." Temari was asleep when he yelled that, but the instant she heard that she shot up awake. The last time she had heard Gaara say that he was about 3. It was before the whole evil Gaara had set in.
Flash back. Gaara came into Temari's room and said " Temari, will you help me?" Temari looked at her little brother and saw some how he had tangled a hair brush into his hair and couldn't get it out. The scene was just so cute and funny she couldn't help from hugging him and laughing. Temari asked " How did you mange to do that?" Gaara simply shrugged while Temari worked the brush out of his soft hair. Flash back over. Temari got up and went into her brothers room to find out this was no small cute little thing, that this was serious.
