Gaara shifted uncomfortably as he felt his sand leak from his gourd of it's own accord, it meant only one thing.

Kagome Higurashi.

The girl, Kagome, was only a year younger than him and worked in the Kazekage's personal healing wing as a nurse in training. Her clan's blood trait was a 'holy' power that could be used against youkai, which was how Shukaku was 'caught' in the first place, and for healing.

He always found her to be some sort of threat, if the way the sand reacted to her was any indication. Often it would surround her, leaving only an open area in his direction. It'd let her come and go as she pleased, but it seemed to keep a constant 'watch' on her anytime she was within a fifty feet radius.

"You're really going to do it?"

A soft voice asked from behind him, and he slowly turned to look at the girl who's hand was currently stroking the sand that shifted around her in circles.

"...Hai."

Her blue eyes saddened as they looked up at him.

"You know...Even if I think this is the wrong path...I'll always be here for you, no matter what."

Gaara bared his teeth at her. "I hate lies." He growled out before turning to walk away, heading towards the meeting place for him and his siblings.

They were going to Konoha today, and, under orders from the Kazekage himself, they would bring it down. Gaara narrowed his eyes when he smelled salt in the air, turning to see a lone tear trail down the girl's face, though she was trying her best to smile as she waved in farewell. "Goodbye, Gaara! I'll miss you!"

"Baka no onna." He murmured. "Just...shut up."

Kagome smiled as the sand caressed her while he walked away. It held her gently, hugging her, smoothing past her legs, bringing a warmth to her cheeks as she watched him leave. Under her breath she was able to whisper, "Goodbye, my love."
