Kaya

"And start..."

There was a loud bang and the training had started. I've been out of hospital for a week and now suddenly they decided it was time to test me, to see if I was o.k. for still guarding, I mean I've only been scratched slightly and they've had such a big up roar about it. They know I'm fine but it's Tadashi who is making most of the fuss such as saying I'm not a good enough guard or sensei and Gaara isn't fit enough to be Kazekage.

Urgh I could kill that ugly little man, I kicked a clone coming my way and punched a couple of others. I sighed, this training was too easy, I mean a couple of clones flying at you and chucking Kunais isn't exactly a ninja war...

I stabbed my Katana in the ground and balanced on top of it, lets finish this quick..."Byakugan, 360 wind twist!" I yelled spinning around in a blue chakra whirlwind defeating most of the clones...

Killing the last one I stopped spinning and jumped down from the Katana and felt the result of the wind twist, wooh too much spin... I put my hand to my head mentally noting never to do that move again, too much of a dizzy affect.

"Finish time of 1 minute and 48 seconds. Good job Kaya" I heard one of the guards, Haru, say as I walked up the stairs to the spectators box.

"Meh, could have done better" I replied sticking my sword away and picking up the paper with my results on it. Not a bad score...looks like I'll keep both of my jobs.

"Kaya?"

I turned my head to the voice, "Hey Gaara, what you doing here?" I asked seeing the red head walking up to me, being followed by two other guards.

"Well I need you to check something out with me" He replied taking the score paper from me and nodding respectfully at the score

"Right boss, I'm on it" I grinned taking it off of him and giving it back to Haru, "See you Haru, I've got important things to do!"

Gaara

"So what we doing" Kaya asked as we walked through the town to the entrance of Suna, she was holding my hand and smiling quite happily. I didn't mind since everyone in Suna had heard of the 'Gaara and Kaya' thing, I guess Temari and Kankuro have bigger mouths then they should have.

"There's something like a big mud quick sand puddle outside the entrance and we going there to see if it's dangerous" I replied looking at her annoyed face and laughing, "It'll be quick"

"I guess so..." She shrugged as we walked over to the group of people staring down at the mud sand, Temari, Kankuro and Daisuke were amoungst the group as well.

"Kazekage-Sama, this is the thing we discovered last night" A guard said addressing me and gesturing at the dipped sand hole filled with a muddy coloured liquid.

"Nice..." Kaya remarked letting go of my hand and standing to the right of Temari as I stood amoungst the group of guards the other side of the mud sand, "Is it dangerous?"

"We aren't sure" Daisuke replied staring down at the muddy pit, "It seems to have just appeared, could be just to do with the rain last night causing the sand to give away."

"That sounds resonable" I stated nodding

"Can you control it, Gaara?" Temari asked before I raised my hand to see if it responded, but the muddy sand just bubbled and didn't react.

"Guess not..." I sighed, this was strange but not dangerous.

"Oooooh Gaara can make sand bubbles!" Kankuro laughed getting a well deserved hit on the head by Temari's fan.

"What can you do about it, Maybe fill it or something?" Temari asked standing beside me and I nodded, filling it would be the best option.

"Yeh that'll solve it Temari" Kankuro sneered, I sighed, not another of their fights...

"Well I don't see you offering any good advice" Temari replied turning and facing him, getting angry

"And it's better then your lousy advice" Kankuro yelled at her. Temari let out an agitated scream and swung her fan back wht arm in order to hit Kankuro but there was a sudden thump and a splash as Temari swung it back.

I turned to look who she hit and knocked in the mud pit, and I suddenly saw a flash of yellow hit the mud, that means it was...

"Kaya..." I said alarmed, my eyes widening as she went under the surface of the mud, I raced round the other side and stared down.

"I-I didn't mean to..." Temari stuttered panicking.

Kaya had still not come up...

Kaya

The mud engulfed me before I had a chance to breath, I went completely down under the surface waving my arms around to get my way back up, the problem was the mud was thick and gritty due to the sand in it too. It was too dark as well but pushing my way up I gasped as I hit the surface and the sun hit down on me.

"Kaya!" I heard Gaara yell as I fought to stay up and wipe the mud from my face to see. He was knelt down with his hand extended out for me to grab.

I thrusted out my arm for him to grab, blinded by the thick mud but I felt his hand grab mine securely, maybe I was going to be ok, but I thought too soon as another wave of mud engulfed over the top of me, pulling me down...

Gaara

I thought I had hold of her but she slipped back under the mud, I didn't let go of her hand though which almost pulled me in with her but too female guards grabbed hold of my free arm and kept me up from falling in.

I could barely see her under the thick mud but I kept pulling on her hand till she came gasping up from the mud again, this was like quick sand but more muddier and harder to get out from.

"Kaya hold on" I yelled down to her watching her struggle to break free from the mud. She nodded and held on as I tried pulling her up, she was sliding out easier now but the girls who had hold of me started to squabble.

I held on to Kaya ignoring the fact that their grip was slipping and if they let go any more I would end up in the mud pit, they continued to squabble as I pulled harder on Kaya until their grip completely slipped...

Kaya

I had perfect grip on Gaara and I thought that I was going to be pulled out but then Gaara's grip slipped and I fell back under the mud hearing a muddy glump next to me, did Gaara fall in too?I pulled myself up from the mud just to see worried looking guards staring down and two sheepish looking girls, the ones who had hold of Gaara...

I gasped and let myself be dragged down in the mud, I had to find Gaara before it was too late, thrashing around a bit because I couldn't see my hand hit something so I grabbed whatever it was and pulled it up with me...

Gaara

I hit the mud and sunk under, the mud was really thick and I found it really hard to move, I couldn't breath and I couldn't see nothing lucky I wasn't wearing my gourd to pull me down.

I tried pulling myself out but I couldn't manage it, the mud had completely engulfed me. I thrashed around and then I felt something hit into me, I would have gasped but the mud was an issue, the thing that hit me grabbed me and I felt myself being lifted up...

Kaya

I gasp as I hit the surface and used both of my arms to hoist the thing I hit up, my hands slipped slightly and I kept my head up to adviod the mud from drowning me. I heard a sudden gasp as my arms hit the surface, it was Gaara!

I pulled him completely out and he gasped and wiped the mud from his face, looking shocked. I smiled wiping mud from my own face, using Gaara as a support as mud tried to engulf us again but it couldn't since we had each other.

"T-Thanks" He murmured gasping again, spitting out mud from his mouth. I nodded kicking my legs in the mud to propel myself back up.

"Hey kids, play-times in the mud over" Kankuro teased, using his puppet to pull us out, "Grab on"

Gaara

Exhausted from being in the mud, me and Kaya sat on the bank gasping for breathe. I was tired and I could tell Kaya was to since her eyes fluttered now and then, we were completely covered in mud.

"I'm so sorry Kazekage-Sama!" The girls apologised again and again. I just nodded, wiping mud from my clothes, no way this was coming out.

"OMG Kaya are you alright, you're not dead are you?!" Temari asked kneeling down and looking at Kaya, who only just gave a short laugh.

"No Temari, just Look at us!" Kaya laughed grinning, "People pay money to be covered in mud!" I grinned and laughed as well.

"You're not mad" Temari asked shocked

"No,no I'm happy" Kaya laughed again before standing up, "Lets get cleaned up"

Kaya

I walked out of the shower in my flat feeling refreshed and clean, it was nice to rid myself from that mud. I smiled at the thought and wrapped a soft towel around myself and walked out to the front room to tell Gaara he could go in.

Walking in the room I saw Gaara standing and looking at the pictures on the wall, he was just wearing a towel around his waist and he still had mud flaked on his pale skin and hair.

"What you looking at?" I asked standing next to him and he looked down and smiled pointing to the picture of me and Sasuke when we were younger. I smiled recalling the memory.

"It was a hot day that day and Sasuke dropped his ice cream on the floor, so I simply gave him mine, he thanked me but Itachi bought me another one anyway" I said and Gaara nodded

"You were close?" Gaara asked looking at the other pictures.

"Yes, we were before I went away, we were best friends" I replied, my throat chocked slightly and I felt tears in my eyes.

Gaara didn't say anything but he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in close for a hug, I let the tears fall from my face as I leant against him feeling his warmth.

"What about you?" I asked as we still embraced, Gaara stroking me.

"Never been close to anyone" He answered truthfully, "I didn't get on with people that well, most just called me a monster and hated me, there's always been that bridge"

"You're not a monster in my eyes" I replied holding him tighter, "I'll always be here for you"

I looked up at him and lent forward and kissed him, he cupped my face as we kissed, I felt complete trust in him. We had something special, I wasn't going to let him down, even if the prophesy stood in the way and stopped us being together, it can't I wont let it ever...

Kaya and Gaara are growing closer and closer to one another, the prophesy is still looming and will Kaya get to meet her brother Sasuke soon?

Next chapter....To Konoha! Review please :)
