What did he do?" He asked sounding dazed.
"Talked." I stated flatly thinking why he asked if i knew what being Gaara's mate ment.
_ON TO THE STORY_
*Next Morning*
"Morning." Dawn mummble to Gaara as she climbs sleepily out of bed.
"Morning." He grumbles back also half asleep.
"Come on Twerps time to get up." Tem yells knocking on thier door.
"M'Kay" Dawn sighs walking out of the room looking for something edible.
"Hey Tem, Mate means friend right?" Dawn asks her psudo sister.
"Usually. Sometimes when talking about animels it means husband or wife." Temari answers looking confused.
"Why do you ask?"
"Just curious." Dawn replies shuffling back upstairs to take a shower and get ready for whatever was in store for her.
"Good Morning Dawnie." Kankuru smiles as they cross paths on the stairs .
"Kazekage-sama wants so see you in two hours."
"Meh." She glares at him.
"I'll be there." She continues on her way. Once shes out of the shower and dressed she decides to go to the Kage Tower early. On the way there she stops to get Gaara an 'I have no idea why your mad but im sorry pesent.' Seeing an adorible, inexpensive stuffed panda she just had to get it for him 'He doesnt like stuffed animels much but its sooo cute if he doesnt want it I'll keep it.' she thinks paying for it. 'Crap. Only ten minutes till my meeting with the Kazekage.'
*8 minutes later*
"Kazekage-Sama." Dawn bows to the leader of the Sand Village.
"Dawn. It's time you complete the mission given to you when you first started living with my children." He tells her.
"Mission?" She asks.
"I'm sorry but I don't remember being given a mission."
"Perhaps this will jog your memory." He hands her a statement signed with an 'x' saying she will gain the trust of the Shukaku's host and kill him.
~Flashback~
"Kazekage-Sama, I wouldnt ask this of you but my wife is dieing and there is no one that can care for our daughter. Perhaps you can take her in?" A young man pleads.
"On one condition" was the mans reply
"She will have a mission to kill the demon that killed my wife" The man paled
"She will carry it out at the age of 12 and should she fail she will die" The poor man had no choice but to agree to the awefull terms, if only so his daughter 11 more years of life. He brought her in the next day and held her hand to sign an x saying she would do it.
~end flashback~
"What? No I wont kill him hes my best..." She freaks out
"Silence. You will do as your told or you will die." He states coldly.
"You have one week to complete this mission." She looks down
"Yes Kazekage-Sama." She whispers dejectedly(sp?).
"Good now leave. I have a group of monks coming and I must prepare for that meeting"
"Hai." She bows before practicly running from his office to her house. When she gets home she collapses on her bed sobbing.
"Dawn?" 'Great Gaara's here' she thinks.
"I'm sorry" she hugs him still sobbing.
"Okay..." he awkwardly pats her back.
"Why do you have a stuffed panda?" He decides to ask hopping it will make her stop crying.
"Oh... Uh its for you but if you dont like it its fine i can just keep it or something." She babbles glad that he isnt asking her why shes crying.
"...Thanks..." He says slowly inspecting the panda before putting it next to the bear he had since he was a baby.
*One week Later*
"Hey Gaara." Dawn calls to her friend sadly thinking about what she was about to do.
"Yes?" He came over.
"I'm leaving and I wont be coming back." She tells him trying to hold back tears that threatnd to spill.
"Why?"
"I refused a mission. I had to complete it by today or i would..." She stops not wanting to tell him she was gunna die "I would be exiled" she finishes after a second of thought.
"Alright." He walks away from her slowly 'Why would she refuse a mission' he thinks 'That isn't like her. Wonder what it was.'
_Kage Tower_
"I didn't kill him." Dawn states coldly refusing to bow to the jerk that had ordered his sons death.
"Your in luck. There is a group. They call themselves the Monks of Dagon. They need someone to, lets say, experiment, on. You will be their test subject." The Kazekage smiles sadisticly at the girl before him.
"Alright." She gulps afraid of what experiment might mean.
