I point my gun toward the door, watching it open little by little. I'm ready, ready to defend myself and my love. I'm not going back to my father, I'm not going to let Kale take Bara away from me, and I'm certainly not going to let Bara be forced to be with someone else besides myself. She's mine, and I'm hers. My hearts races, not by fear… but by satisfaction of finally killing Kale for what he did to Bara. I turn my head, to see her eyes looking at the door in total fear.

"I'm here."

I whisper to her, not the most comforting thing to say in a situation like this. But at least it's better than nothing. I turn back to the door, which is opened halfway…

"Hey! Come look at this!"

The door then closes again, leaving us in total darkness. I tell Bara to stay where she is and quietly walk toward the door, so I can hear them.


He goes up the door, due to his footsteps, as I sigh in relief! I thought we were going to get caught, I'm so relieved. Suddenly, I hear yells outside of the closet.

"DAMN IT! I want Bara back, and your fucking brother took her! Now you're saying no one is here!"

"Look Kale, you seem like a threat to my brother's eyes if he beat your ass."

"Fuck you Kankuro!"

"Watch it now, I have the advantage Kale. One against five isn't a smart idea, is it?"

I swallow; not knowing what's going on or see what's in front of me. Suddenly, the door opens widely and I see Gaara flip back and as he lands… he shoots the guy at the doorway! He goes over to me and grabs my left wrist, and then we bolt out of the closet.


We have to get out of here, and right now… no one seems to be in the ship anymore. Of course, I must make sure no one is at the entrance and our only exit. We hide at a hallway corner, seeing by brother talking to Kale at the corner. I make a face, and I can feel Bara's wrist shaking. Damn it, why is happening?! I won't let them take her… I won't and can't let them! I turn to her, and whisper, "I have a friend located three miles from here, and his name is Uzumaki Naruto. Please, don't say a sound-"

"GAARA?! I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!"

NO! I can hear them going inside and I make my appearance, then turn to Bara and tell her with my eyes to get away from us.


I watch, I can't move. Gaara turns to his brother and Kale, I think, and point his gun at them. He doesn't say anything, but his brother does.

"Gaara, put the gun down-"

"WHERE IS BARA?!"

Gaara closes his eyes, and drops the gun. The gun suddenly fires as it hits the floor, hurting someone! Gaara is then pinned to the ground by three people, his eyes looking at me. He then screams, "TELL HIM THAT I HATE HIS WORTHLESS ASS AND HIS SHIP! I WILL NOT GO BACK TO TOKYO SECTOR! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! I, SABAKU NO GAARA, WON'T ALLOW IT!" I can hear the words he wanted me to remember, and then he's gets kicked in the face by Kale… who's half of his face is gone. Kankuro just pushes him away and says to his brother, "I'm sorry Gaara, but Father wants you to take over the company." They carry him away, as I rush toward the room where he let me sleep.

I then close the door, and wept. I promise Gaara… I WILL GET YOU BACK FROM TOKYO SECTOR!
