"So here's the room you're going to be living in from now on. Do you have any bags that we need to send up here?" Kankuro asked.

"No, I only have a backpack that has been lost somewhere in this building; it has books and stuff in it."

"Where are all your clothes?"

"At home."

"Where's home?"

"Yeah, I'm not going to answer that."

"Okay, then we'll just have to make you new clothes. Do you know how to sow?"

"Sow, as in needle and thread? No…"

"Okay then... we'll just get you some clothes."

"Okay."

"…"

"You can leave now."

"Eh…right." He said, and quickly left the room. So this is what I'm to call home now huh? I never would have imagined this happening to me. Or the kiss for that matter. I wonder if there are any books here… nah, I'd have to leave the room and wonder through the building. And with my past history I likely wouldn't be able to find my way back. I guess I'll just have to wait for someone to come here and I can ask them then. But for now I think I need some sleep.

"Can I come in?" I hear someone say. What time is it?

"Yeah sure." I said rubbing my eyes. I sit up and look at my clock. Around supper time, two hours of sleep at most.

"Did I interrupt something?"

"No Gaara, you didn't. I was just waking up." a little bit of a white lie, but so what, it's not like it matters.

"Kankuro tells me you have no clothes with you. As well that you don't know how to sow." I laugh and embarrassed type laugh, while scratching my head slightly, a bad habit of mine when stuff like this happens.

"Yeah… never learned how to. Oh! Did he find my bag?"

"Yes, I have it with me."

"Oh, thanks! So what did you come here to talk about?" I ask

"I'm told I am to take you out to find clothes for you to wear."

"Aren't you busy though? With the whole Kazekage thing."

"I am, but Temari can't stand you and Kankuro has to do something."

"So you're like the back up plan?"

"Pretty much."

"That sucks. I could go alone if I'm a bother."

"No it's alright. Besides, you have no sense of direction."

"How is it everyone knows that?"

"It's a common fact now."

"But I haven't done that much to make it a common fact yet! Ugh, stupid lack of skills."

"Don't worry about it. Do you want to go or not?"

"Sure I guess."

We walked downtown for awhile. Kinda ditched the whole 'let's get me some new clothes' idea. What can I say? I like books!

"Don't you think you have enough books?" Gaara asked me as I picked up another text book.

"It's not like you're carrying them so why does it matter?"

"Having twelve text books as well as other books can't be very healthy to be carrying in one hand!"

"Oh, I can put it on my back."

"Forget it. You're hopeless."

"So can I get the book or not?"

"It's your money I don't really have a say."

"I'll get this." I told the shop keeper. "Let's eat after I pay for the book." I say

"Good idea." He replies. I pay for the book and put it in the bag with all the other books I've recently bought. Gaara slipped his hand into mine (the one carrying the bag) and took it from my grasp.

"Huh?"

"How did you manage to carry this so easily?"

"Don't ask."

"Why?"

"Guys freak out when they know I can lift really heavy things with one hand. They think I have supernatural strength and run away."

"Oh, well I'm still here aren't I?"

"Yeah, I guess you are."

"Okay, take it back it's starting to get heavy. I tried to be all kind and carry it for you but it gets heavy after awhile."

"Haha, okay, give it back then." he hands me the bag.

"I know a good place to eat. C'mon, I'll take you there." he said grabbing my hand and pulling me in the direction of the store. He seems… lively. Totally different from what he was like before. And totally different from what I've read in all the books.

"Gaara." I say. He stops and turns around, still holding my hand.

"Yeah." He says.

"Are you happy?"

"Very."

"Why?"

"Because you're here. It hasn't been so lively here in ever. You give off a positive vibe; I guess I'm responding to it in positive ways. Now let's go! You must be hungry." Truth is, I am. Really hungry!

"So…" I say

"Yeah?" Gaara replies.

"Why did you appoint me as a council member? Without knowing if I have any skills in that line of work, or with fighting."

"Because I could see it in your eyes. I can always tell a person's true ability by looking at their eyes. Some are emotionless and only turn to hate and revenge, expressionless and dull. I know someone named Sasuke. He has those types of eyes; I did too at one time. But a guy named Naruto helped me out of killing for the sake of killing. I could see from your eyes that you wanted to help. That you held great knowledge, your eyes are kind, and they light up whenever you get happy."

"Well, your eyes aren't like that anymore. They're kind and gentle." I said smiling.

"I want to bring you somewhere, lets go." He said holding my hand as he ran.

"Where are we going?" I ask

"To my favourite place." He replied.

"Where's that?"

"It's a surprise."

"I hate surprises."

"Good to know."

"You're not going to tell me are you?"

"No."

"Damn!"

"Here we are."

"Gah! It's high!"

"Are you afraid of heights?"

"No, but I'm clumsy and I might fall, and I doubt I'd be able to survive that type of fall."

"Don't worry. I'd catch you before you'd fall."

We were on the walls of Sunagakure, we were able to over look the whole village, and everything was calm (just as it should during the night time).

"You should see it from up here when the sun is setting. It's to perfect for words. I'll have to bring you here again some time so you can see it." Gaara said sweetly.

"I'd like that."

Ah~ finally back home! I can't believe I had to be walked to my own room! Have I no shame? I really should get a map to this place. What time is it? 1:00! God, I have to get to bed! Wait I don't have PJ's…

I look over to the bed, a stack of clothes. I'll likely be able to find at least one pair of pj's in there, hopefully. Aha! Success! I can't believe I'm getting excited over a piece or pieces of cloth. I am so sad!

I jumped on the bed and hid my head in the pillow. It was too warm for blankets. So tired! Finally I'll be able to get some sleep, and maybe all of this was a dream and right now I'm at home in my nice warm bed and-

Why is the door opening?

"Um, hello?" I say. No response. A figure walks in. And no it's not a random person. It's Kankuro, okay so maybe a little random. Why is he in my room? He plopped himself on my bed and stole my pillow (my poor pillow!) Why is he in my bed? I'm not going to get any sleep as long as he's here.

"Kankuro! Get out!" nothing

"Out boy, out!" again no response.

"Kankuro get out of my bed, I need to sleep!" Grr why isn't he waking up?

"Kankuro!" this time he responded, but not with words, with actions. He grabbed my stomach and held be to his chest (my back is facing him). Why me? What did I deserve to have this happen? Bye bye sleep. I'm going to kill this guy when he wakes up.

~~~~Side note~~~

Hahaha! Another chapter done! Sorry this is short (and kinda weird, but I'm tired and things like that tends to happen (like my writing, and what happened I guess too) Sooooo, hope you liked it. I'm going to bed now, it is 1:40 am and I'm really tired. Bye Bye!
