A/N: I'm so sorry I didn't update! I was stuck at my grandmother's house… She does have a internet connection but all I had was my PSP. I attempted to update with it but it took a minute to write every word so I'm like 'Screw this shit…'. You know? In the end… all I could ask myself was, 'If grandma doesn't have a computer… why does she have a internet connection?' It truly puzzles me… also, the fact that Gaara killed Suzy's parents won't be important for quite a while. Here's the new chapter.

Oasis

Suzy sat on her window sill and leaned on the glass. She was on the outside and her window was closed. Why was she sitting on a outside window sill tree stories up you ask? This was the best place for Suzy to think. There was only one thing. She didn't have anything to think about. Sure she was puzzled but she didn't know why. Maybe that's why she had to think? To question why she was puzzled?

Suzy thought back to the fight she had earlier today. She won but it was hard. And since they were fighting one friendly terms, Gaara probly held back. And she gave it her all. 'God I'm so weak…,' Suzy scowled herself, 'No. It's just that you've never fought under those conditions before,' she told herself.

Feeling better for no particular reason, Suzy pushed of the building and headed toward the village gates. At the same time, Gaara headed for her apartment.

Gaara, being pushed throw the air by his sand, looked for Suzy. He'd head over to her place and look there then look over the village. He would no longer deny the fact that he needed her, Gaara, just wouldn't admit to it. He appeared outside her door and knocked. Getting no answer, Gaara let some of his sand seek under the door and to where he remembered the lock to be. When he successfully got the door open, he walked in.

"Suzy?" called Gaara. He froze for a bit. It was the first time he ever really used her name. It rolled of his tong and felt good to say for some reason. "Suzy?" he called again but a little louder.

"You won't find her here."

Gaara turned his head to look at a certain tan-furred feline, "Why's that Selia?" he asked.

"She probly went to the oasis. Suzy often goes there to calm herself down," the cat informed him.

Gaara looked at her, "There is no other oasis in this desert except the ones the villages are built around."

Selia's eyes stared at him with the message, 'Are you stupid? No wait. You are,' when she continued, "This desert is vast. You think that there wouldn't be at least one watering hole we overlooked?"

"Very well," the impatient boy said, "Where is this oasis?"

"Come," the cat hopped pass him and out the door, "I will lead you there if you choose."

Gaara gave the feline a nod before hopping on his sands and following her.

The two traveled a few miles away from the village before the feline used her ability to speak.

"Stop," Selia demanded before lifting a paw and using her own paw to remove part of a barrier, "We use a this barrier to make the place invisible from the outside. I'm only showing you where it is. Just walk right through and start looking for her. I'm going back to the village."

"Wait," Gaara said before Selia could run off, "How do I know if this is not a trap?"

Selia let out a few grunts that where probly meant to be laughs but had to much of a cat like accent, "If we really wanted to kill you… We would of a long time ago. Bye."

Gaara walked through the barrier not bothering to watch the cat leave. There were somewhat dense tropical trees, then bushes all surrounding a little body of water to small to be called a pond but far to large to be a puddle. A tree in Gaara's gaze blocked half of the body of a brown haired girl dressed in a black shirt and blue-jeans.
