Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

POV

A wave of tiredness swept over me, and my arms began to feel heavy.

Why was I so tired all of the sudden? I had barley gotten started yet.

Another wave of weakness swept over me, and I struggled to stay on my feet. I groaned horribly, and collapsed on the ground.

Something began to rack my body from the inside.

The tiredness grew thicker, and the racking became harsher.

The sudden weakness grew to hurt, and then to pain soon after.

I had blacked out.

Gaara's POV

My sister Temari who was the ambassador between Konoha and Suna had just told me what had happened to Kiyoshi.

I was eager to get to Konoha as fast as I could to see her, but we could not leave until tomorrow.

This enraged me.

I was gripping the side of my desk so hard that if I squeezed any harder it would shatter into a million pieces.

Temari had also told me that the Akatsuki had destroyed Konoha.

I was so eager to go there; I hadn't seen Kiyoshi in forever.

As much as I tried to hide it, I was really longing to see her face, smell her sweet smell, and peer into her amethyst eyes and be swallowed into their abyss like depths.

The next day…

Gaara's POV

I was at the city gates.

I was alone; I didn't want any one to come with me.

If I used my sand for transportation, I could make the trip in one day opposed to three.

POV

"uuurrrggghhh… what the hell happened?" I groaned as I opened my eyes.

I looked around with half opened eyes, the world spinning around me.

The first thing I noticed was the ruins of our precious home- Konoha.

This was enough to make me faint.

When I regained consciousness, I noticed I was lying on the ground.

I let my head settle for little while.

When I finally tried to sit up, I groaned in pain. I was sitting up halfway and propped my self up on my elbows.

I noticed a bloody hole in my shirt, and nearly fainted at the sight of the outcome of the battle.

I noticed a familiar voice franticly telling me to lie down again.

I easily recognized Sakura by her pink hair, and whispered some incomprehensible curses under my breath.

She kneeled down next to me, and told me what had happened, and I was shocked.

I was so shocked that I barley herd the last sentence that she said: "… and Temari told Gaara and he is coming later today."

I was dead meat.

Two hours later…

POV

"Wow, Kiyoshi, your healing rate is incredible" exclaimed Sakura.

"You heal so fast…"

She said almost as if she was talking to herself.

"Don't bother even trying to heal me. When Gaara gets here, I'm as good as dead"

"Why?" She asked.

"I uh… kinda promised him that I wouldn't put myself in any life threatening situations, and that I would at least value my life a little bit…. And you know what happens when Gaara snaps," I said glumly.

Sakura was trying to change the subject for a reason I couldn't put my finger on.

"Ummm… Kiyoshi, I think its time you told me what the big deal is with that ring." Sakura said and raised an eyebrow at me.

"oooh… I don't know…" I said warily.

"I've asked you like, a million times! JUST TELL ME." She glare at me icily.

"You'll find out pretty soon any way, so I don't need to tell you… Anything." I replied, My words deadly and my chakra flaring.

"what time did you say Gaara was coming?" I asked nervously.

He said he would be here by around eleven the latest. I was totally dead.

me:Ohhhhhh, you gon' get It, gurl freeeend!

Kiyoshi: stfu! (slaps me)

Kakashi: Sooo… inappropriate for children! Bwa hahaha!!! )(reading a book)

Gaara: um… we gotta go make out kiyoshi…
