Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

I gaped at the woman standing before me.

all I could think was:

Oh.

Freaking.

Kami.

((a/n I'm really really sorry on any spelling errors in the Japanese names or things.))

My MOTHER!

Like, where the hell did that come from?

I realized that I was staring at my mother in shock, and put a normal expression, trying hard to be impassive.

Some how, I knew this person was my mother, I could sense it.

"Why am I here?" I said a few moments later.

"Because I want you to stay with me." My mother replied, in an almost demanding tone.

"I… can't." I said, truly thinking about it for a few quick fantasizing moments of mine.

She looked at me sideways. "what would keep you from me… Your own mother?" she asked softly.

"Love." I stated simply.

She gaped at me.

"You are suppose to be the bringer of death." She snarled. "The impassive, hateful, beautiful, cold-hearted, Kiyoshi."

"Sabaku no Kiyoshi to you." I snarled right back at her, and contentedly decided that it was a perfect come-back.

"What!" said my mother. (Ha ha, serves her right!)

"you heard me right. I'm married. And I love. Oh, and… I killed father a few years ago." At this news, she was shocked.

The white space started to howl with wind.

Anger was coming off of my mothers petite form.

"Who do you… love" She spat out the last word.

"Sabaku no Gaara, the Kazekage of Suna." I said casually, an evil smirk playing across my lips.

She just looked at me.

She than whimpered, and tears brimmed in her eyes.

"You're weak." I growled.

"P-Plea-Please. I Ju-just w-want to be wi-with… you, ag-… again." Whispered my mother.

"Be-because… I… I love you."

"Hah! you tell me that you LOVE me? I guess you got your facts messed up when you died, because last time I checked, forcing me to live with only you in this… place without the people that I really love. And you tell me you love me."

My mothers face twisted into a vicious snarl, and she said "You passed your worthless little test. Leave. Now."

I was swept into black mist again, the angry face of my mother drawn behind me. Everything had turned black, so I decided to open my eyes.

Gaara's POV

Kiyoshi blinked, and her eyes turned back to normal.

I was relieved that her eyes were restored to their natural amethyst with ripple pattern, and even more relieved that she was alive.

She stared at the ceiling for a few minutes until she noticed my presence next to her.

My arms snaked around her thin waist, and she buried her head into my shoulder.

I felt little droplets running down my arm and wiped a tear out of her eye.

"what happened?" I asked quietly while running my hand through her hair.

"I met my mother." Kiyoshi stated simply.

I didn't understand at all. "How?"

"She… she was my test. he asked me to come with her… but I told her I couldn't. For a minute, I actually was thinking about it, but… then I wouldn't get to be with you anymore."

The tears stopped coming down my arm, and Kiyoshi looked at me, so I smiled ad pulled her in for a kiss.

" I love you." I murmured into her hair.

Her milky skin was lit aglow by the moonlight shining in from the window.

I could not think of anywhere else that I would rather be right now; just being with Kiyoshi was like eternity to me.

This was where I belonged, here with her, in love.

*sniff* *sniff* that was sweet.

Please reviewww! I decided that I am only going to start the sequel if I get a certain amount of reviews.

The next chapter is gonna be the last one in Equinox, then the sequel. (I think you get the point already…)

But I need names and reviews, or I'm not going to start the sequel.

(since I have like no followers and almost no reviewers I think this is gonna take a while…)
