Me: I do love the smell of sand!

Aubrey: Why?

Me: IDK...

Temari: Well its just us girls in this disclaimer, who's going to do it?

Aubrey: I have done it plenty enough times! (Turning away from us)

Me: This is my story, I shouldn't have to do the disclaimers!

Temari: Fine then I'll do it!

Me: NOOOOOO! We should make Gaara and Baki do it...TOGETHER!(Evil laugh)

Aubrey, Temari and Me looking for the boys.

Baki: Why us?

Me: Because I said so!

Baki dancing around and singing: Aishachase97 does not own Naruto or their characters...

Gaara standing next to me: But she does own the story in which they were placed, and the oc's...

Aubrey: Great...

Chapter 13

Split again!

"Why? They can stay here and train!" Temari yelled in Granny's face. We were in the living room at the Kazekage's mansion, and Granny has come up with a plan to help Aubrey and I get used to our powers. Temari was against it, saying that we had "Grown on her" but I thought that it was a good plan. Aubrey said nothing along with Gaara, each one on one side of me. Granny glared at Temari.

"They will be back in two years! Gosh! That and they will exceed your power within a few months, because of personal reasons. With me they will be able to continuously get stronger," She clarified. It was true. We were going to get stronger than them way faster. Within a few months we would be at there levels, but after the two years we would be way a head of them. I think that Kankuro was irritated by that fact and the fact that he liked Aubrey, made him speak up.

"You can't just take them without letting them think about it!" he barked at her. Aubrey rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed with all of this bickering.

"Do you really think that we could stay here forever?" Aubrey snapped at him. Kankuro glared at her, then stared back at Granny. I had made up my mind, and I know that Aubrey was thinking the same, so I spoke our decision.

"I think that we should go. It would give us a chance to get stronger, and we could come and visit. Its not like were traveling very far, right?" I asked Granny. She nodded, and I smiled. That was good, we could come and visit! I would get to see my friends, and my crush. I had talked with Temari the other night, and we had come to the conclusion, that I had a crush on Gaara. I didn't mind. He was cute, and sweet, and just the nicest boy I had ever met...other than Joey, but he could be a butt sometimes.

"If you really want to go, we cant hold you here against your will, but you have to write or visit us sometimes, ok?" Temari asked grabbing my hand. I grinned at her and nodded enthusiastically. Aubrey stood up and pulled me with her.

"Well now that we have that all sorted we should get going, we have a long journey ahead of us! Bring water, food, a pair of clothes and a medic kit...just in case!" Granny shouted, hand pointed in the air, fire coming from behind her. She was old, but highly energetic. It was kind of scarring...

I was fighting back tears. We had gathered all our stuff that we would need for our travels, but Temari was hugging me, really tightly.

"Be careful! Don't let Aubrey kill you! Don't forget to write!" she gushed before going over to Aubrey telling her not to kill me. I grinned at my friend with unshed tears. I moved to hug Kankuro who just stood there like a stick in the mud.

"Bye bye Mister Puppet Master," I whispered before glommping Baki. He hugged me back hesitantly. But wished me luck, like an older brother would. Then I turned around and saw Gaara. His arms were crossed, but he had left his gourd at the mansion. As I headed to him, he uncrossed his arms, and hugged me when I was in reach. As I hugged him I let out just one tear, just one. I pulled back and grinned at him.

"Lets get going human!" Arashi barked from the gate. Kero had disappeared. As I went to say my good bye, something rocketed off my back, pushing me into Gaara. We fell down into a familiar pose, but this time it was different. Our lips were touching. From behind us I could here Kankuro dog whistling us, and Temari squealing. I pulled away blushing like crazy, but I was NOT going to apologize. I was to embarrassed. My face was deep red, but nothing compared to Gaara's blush.

I pulled away. Standing up, my face cooled down a little. Gaara fallowed me up.

"Lets go!" Arashi growled. I turned to glare at him. Then I looked for the thing that knocked into me.

Kero sat on Aubrey's shoulder, smirking, along with Aubrey. Then it hit me... Aubrey threw him into me, pushing me into Gaara...

"IM GOING TO KILL HER" I screamed lurching forward to them. Aubrey ducked and ran to the gate to stand with Granny and Arashi. I gave up pretty quickly. I sighed, this was going to be so awkward.

I walked back over to Gaara, blushing all the while, but I hugged him again, then kissed his cheek.

"I'll see you in about two years, ok? Don't forget about me!" and with that I moved over to the gate with everyone else. I waved and winked, then Granny poofed us away.

When the smoke cleared we were in front of a glacier. And the only thing I could think, was if the training didn't kill me, then the weather would...

IM SO SORRY THAT THIS CHAPTER WAS SO SHORT. IM GOING TO WORK ON MAKING THEM LONGER! PLEASE REVIEW! :D
