He got up from the floor and stood up. He froze. "Wow…..your weaker then I thought." said Sai. He growled and pushed past him and started to run to his temporary room.

Saki groaned as she laid down onto the bed. She hated being here, have to act tuff and being the only girl is hard. She sighed as she remembered the times in the sand village with Gaara, Temari, Kankuro and soon drifted off to sleep.

Saki ran away. She ran away and never wanted to turn back. He lied to her. HE LIED TO HER! I have to kill him. I have to become a ninja, so I can kill him. She thought as she started to run out of the village.

One week later she knew ANBU members were looking for her. Apparently Itachi said she was a ninja in training so the considered her as a missing nin. But she was not a ninja and she was not in training, with him anyway that is. An ANBU member then suddenly jumped onto the tree was looking. She gasped as she ran in the opposite direction. "I found her!" the ANBU member yelled. She sighed in defeat as she walked out from behind the tree and the ANBU members jumped down. "It's okay, we are here to take you back." one assured as she came up to her. Saki stepped back. "I can't go back…he'll-he'll kill me." She muttered. "Who?" said the one walking to her. "Itachi." Even though she was 13, she thought she could at least still try to act hopeless.

1 year later

She sighed as she fell onto the soft sand. She opened her eye's after hearing some one stop beside her. It was a girl but she was to blurry to see. "Where's she from?" said one person, from what Saki could tell, there was three people. "I don't know, but all I can say is that she's not from around here." I sat up. "I'm from the Uchiha clan." I said . The one with the fan in her hand smiled. "I'm Temari. This is Kankuro and Gaara." They nodded to her. She got up and dusted herself off. "I think we should take her back to the village." said Kankuro. Temari nodded but Gaara didn't really care from what she could tell.

6 months later

"Hey Temari?" said Saki as she walked into their apartment. They shared an apartment until Saki could afford her own. "Yeah?" Temari said from the couch. Saki closed the door behind her. "What should I say if someone asked me out?" "Who asked you out?" Temari said from the couch.

"I'm not saying someone asked me out." She said walking to Temari and sitting next to her staring at the screen TV. "Seriously, tell me who!?" Saki mumbled something that she couldn't understand. "Well, I know you were just with Gaara and Kankuro. So……. Kankuro asked you out?" Saki shook her head. "Gaara!? I never could have expected Gaara to-"

"HE KISSED ME!" Saki cut off Temari. Kankuro and Gaara walked in a few minutes later and didn't see anyone. "Temari? Saki?" said Kankuro. Gaara sighed. "It was a waste of time coming here." said Gaara crossing his arms and sighing. "Shut up for once Gaara, you've been complaining about coming here since we started walking here. Why?" asked Kankuro. "None of your business." said Gaara looking away.

Temari walked through the main door with Saki behind here. "Oh, hey guys." said Temari walking past them and pulling Kankuro out the door with her. "What the hell Temari?!" They heard Kankuro scream from outside. "Shut up and come with me!" Temari yelled back. Saki looked down and sighed.

"I need to talk to you." They both said at the same time. Saki blushed and looked down while Gaara just looked down. "I need to talk to you about what happened an hour ago." said Gaara. "Yes….." said Saki walking over to him. "I wanted to say…I'm-I'm….", Gaara continued, becoming nervous. "It's okay. And my answer is yes." , she replied as she silenced him with a finger.

Gaara looked up at her. "Wha-I thought you would've said no-" "You thought. I never said no though, did I?" Saki said before leaning in and kissing him.

Where the Konoha dance, fire burns……

The shadow of the fire will flash over the village……

And the leaves will grow once again……

Saki shot up from her sleep as she looked around the room. "I came to say you were right and I do need to communicate more to other people and blah, blah, blah….." said Sasuke walking over from the door to her. "Get out." Saki said, tears streaming down her face. "Huh?" She looked at him. "Get out and don't bother me."

"What's wrong? I can help." he said closing the door and walking back over to her. "It's just….It's just I miss my friends so much and…..and I miss Gaara. I need him, at least to see him one more time before…… ." she said wiping away the tears. "…before I die."
