It had taken hours for the rain to finally stop. There hadn't been rain in the Sand Village for several years, and of all the days it just had to rain on this one. Gaara cursed under his breath as he came to the cliffs that surrounded the village. They had agreed to meet here the previous day, but she was no where in sight, as expected. Why would anyone want to wait in the pouring rain for him? With a heavy sigh, Gaara turned to walk back down to the village, but froze as he heard a familiar voice call from behind.

"Wait, Gaara! Gaara! I'm here!" The young redhead quickly turned to see Matsuri walk from behind one of the high walls of the cliffs. She was soaking wet.
