As I walked in, I yawned silently, I realized that I was more tired than I thought. I sat next to Kankuro and leaned on him a little, hoping he was asleep.

I had a horrible dream, my companion and only friend, Shawnie was sitting there, waiting for me to come back, but I never came, she started to walk away, and leave me. I was crying a little as I watched Shawnie walk away.

"Girl wake up," I heard a voice; I thought it was a dream; I opened my eyes and realized that I was still on Kankuro, he was awake and his arm was damp, I was still crying.

He was looking at me angrily, "Get off me." He scolded me, I sat up and wiped my face with my sleeve, Temari had turned on the light and Gaara was still outside I guessed. Gaara walked in, I was still crying a little, I looked at him and wiped my eyes again.

Temari walked out as her sensei had called for her, Gaara stared through me again. It made me shiver and forget about my dream, "I want to go back." I declared.

I really wanted to see Shawnie again, she could make it through the terrain better than me and if she tried to follow me, I knew she could, but she was just as afraid of everything as I was. I stood up, still tired and tried to walk through the door, Temari came in and nearly ran me over, "We have to go today." She announced.

I looked at her, "Go where?" I asked confused. Temari replied, "To the Kazekage." I obviously appeared confused because she explained to me, "He is like the Hokage." I thought for a moment then nodded.

"I don't want to go," I said reluctantly. Kankuro walked up behind me, "That's not a choice." I walked casually between Gaara and Temari, when I go to the door I stopped, I didn't know why, I just did. Why won't I move? I kept asking myself, I could walk, but something in my mind said stay.

I took a step out and found it easier as I walked through the strange town, People were watching me from the shadows and I felt uneasy, now I had realized why my mind was saying that. I looked around and realized that just about all the buildings looked almost exactly alike; I didn't know which one I had just come from.

When I walked in one, something was thrown at me and I ran out as quickly as possible, I checked another one and it wasn't the right one, it smelled of alcohol and smoke, I looked around, trying to remember how many steps I took, I went into another one a little frantic now and nearly ran into Gaara.

I sighed, a little glad that I had found the right one, I smiled, "I'm back." I whimpered a little as I smiled. "You got lost didn't you?" Temari appeared from out of one of the rooms. I crossed my arms and was going to say something, but what she had said was true, I got lost.

Kankuro walked out of the room too, it was cool in here considering it had only a fan about the size of my head. If I lived here I might get used to it, if Shawnie was here with me. "We will leave now," Kankuro stated. Gaara walked out first; I followed him, not wanting to get lost again, then Kankuro and Temari.

Every person there was either staring at me or giving me nasty looks, I was frightened, and I realized that no one was even looking at Gaara. I ran up to him and decided to walk beside him, if we were any closer our shoulders would touch. He looked at me; I probably looked terrified because he didn't say anything.

There was a greenish sort of dull looking purse on the ground, I ran over to it "Hey guys! Look!" I bent down to pick it up, Kankuro flinched as the Kunai went right past me, I stood up, not noticing that it was a trap. I held up the purse, "We should return this to the lost and found!" I looked around and saw a broken sign that read lost-and found.

I waited for Gaara to catch up, while I saw waiting, a man grabbed my wrist and held a kunai to my neck, "You little brat," He had a gruff voice, "Trying to steal from my daughter." I looked over to where he was gesturing, there was a timid, almost frightened looking girl standing there, I let go of the purse and it fell to the ground.

"I was going to return it to the-" Before I could finish, I saw a blur and the man had let go, it looked as if he was hit, but I saw nothing, then the blur stopped. It was a girl, she was visibly taller than Gaara but looked exactly like him, except for the eyes, and she looked nicer and had longer hair.

She looked at me and held out her hand, "I'm Nagoshi." I looked at her hand then suspiciously back at her; Gaara was next to me, he was so quiet it made me jump when he talked, "Move." I looked at him confused, "Gaara, she jus helped me," I looked back, the man had already left and the purse was gone.

Nagoshi repeated herself, "I'm Nagoshi, who are you?" Sand had started to come out of Gaara's gourd, I didn't get why she was so happy in a place like this, she must be lost. She suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Gaara, I turned quickly to face her but she did it again and again I got dizzy and fell over, but Gaara hadn't moved.

I stood up, Nagoshi repeated herself once more, and Gaara had made a hand sign, it was the same one he used before. I put my hand on his shoulder, "Gaara don't," I pleaded; he just glared at me and brushed my hand off. Nagoshi ran at him in a visible speed, just before she hit him, she disappeared and tripped him, I flinched but the sand caught him.

Temari and Kankuro had run to where we were, Temari looked at Nagoshi, who looked a lot like Gaara even though they weren't related. I watched as she easily picked on Gaara, he seemed to get more and angrier, then a small tree grew in her path and tripped her, the tree went down before the dust cleared, so no one would notice.

Gaara looked at me, he saw it, I acted as if I hadn't done anything, Nagoshi got up and brushed herself off, we started walking again, I stayed as close to Gaara as he would let me. She followed us asking many questions, mostly Temari would answer, then she asked, "So why are you here?" she asked pointing to me, "You aren't from around here."

We stopped, I wanted to keep walking but no one spoke, she poked me, I decided that I liked her; she was just as annoying as me, only maybe more. I smiled a little as she kept repeating her question and poking me, my arm was starting to bruise, but I didn't care, I was watching Gaara's face change, he was annoyed, as I wasn't, it was fun.

The next time she poked me, something grabbed her finger, it was sand, Gaara was finally annoyed, "Just answer her already." He grimly said, there was annoyance in his voice, I could tell. I was going to say that they kidnapped me, but I didn't know how any of them would react, "I moved here just recently," I replied a little nervously.

Temari stepped up, "You aren't from around here either, what do you care?" I looked at her, I felt relieved that the attention was off of me, even though I did like Nagoshi, she seemed like the perfect friend for me, but now I didn't feel like talking.

I watched as the sand tightened, I elbowed Gaara un-expectantly, "Let go." I whispered so only he could hear. The sand let go but grabbed my ankle discreetly and tripped me, so it looked like I fell down on my own.

I was embarrassed, I knew what had tripped me but no one else did, so it looked like I fell down without even moving. Nagoshi was standing there and helped me up, she was smiling but I don't think she thought it was funny, "It's ok, I'm clumsy too."

CLUMSY?! I thought angrily as I clenched my teeth, I forced myself to smile and Gaara had already started walking again, not wanting to be starred at, I walked beside him.
