"Again!"Termai yells whips out her fan, swinging it back then forward with full force. Sending a huge guest of wind at her target.

You.

Quickly you move just in time, but she didn't let up. Sending another attack upon you, this time including a few kunais that had a couple of explosive tags attached to them. Dodging them, landing a few feet away from her. The young woman didn't let up, she gets fan ready, unleashing her attack upon you.

A huge gust of wind infused with her chakra comes at you, fast and deadly. Thinking quickly, you take to the air. Smirking, Temari attacks you again. Hitting her mark, you fall out the sky from the force of her attack. Picking yourself up quickly, moving just as she threw two kunais at you. She throws two more right after, picking up one of the kunais you mange to deflect them.

Smiling at you, seeing you look serious. Looking for an opening, you go for her ready to strike. She just narrowly dodges you strikes, folding her fan to block your attack. Each strike upon her fan, pushed her back. The strength that came from you, surprised her. Not even using chakra, then again reminding herself, you where not really human.

Giving you an edge, moving quickly. Giving herself distance between the two of you, getting ready for another attack on you. This time you where ready. Remembering the hand seals and what she told you as well Kai. Doing four of them quickly, the water nearby in the four buckets she bought for today's training, began to move. Liquid started to react to, the hand signs. The second Temari launches her attack."Wind Release: Great Sickle Weseal Technique!"

Heavy air currents where released, collided together creating many vacuum pockets. She wasn't holding back, no mercy no sympathy at all. She was coming at you full force. Finishing up the last hand sign."Water Release: Water Dome."The water quickly and not a second late. Surrounds you in a breathable dome, deflecting Temari's attack. Not done yet, this was a fight between the two of you after all, and she expected you put up one. Doing six more hand signs, the water reacts."Water Needles."From the dome, sharp needles shoot out at towards her.

The young woman, dodges the incoming attack. Enjoying the fight. Deflecting the water needles, countering them with a gust of wind. Much stronger than before, the power was enough to even break your dome. Pushing you back hard. Not done, getting up quickly taking out two shurkiens throwing them at her. While two big bright blue eyes watch with amazement, in the shadows.

Kai knocks on the Kazekage's office door."Enter."Opening the door, Kai walks inside.

Gaara stood there waiting for him, greeting the young man respectfully."You summoned me, Kazekage."

"Yes, how is May's progression in the medical field."

Kai was surprised, that he knew Gaara watches the man's green eyes look nervous and guilty. But at the same time they where still strong. Swallowing hard, standing his ground the best he could, while still being respectful to Gaara."May's progression is quite fast. Infact, she's such a natural in the field I'm not sure what else I can teach her really. All of Lady Chiyo's documents she's mange to improve a couple of them, turning them into her own. The jutsu she has been able to get down, with ease. Using her aura and chakra. It is amazing, I'm afraid though. Her superior skills are much higher..."he stops biting his lip. Looking away from Gaara for a second, then turning back to him boldly."Kazekage, if by anyway I am at fault for teaching May. Then personally, out of no disrespect I feel that I have done nothing but a good deed. May is a good person, really she it. I have never meet anyone like her, she has the spirit and passion to be medic ninja. Never have I see someone with so much heart in them. No one like that, would want to become a medic ninja...so if I am to reprimanded for helping her, then by all means I will take the blame. But, please do not forbid her from stopping. She's already been cooped here in the village for so long. Like a prisoner really. Which is not fair, it is understandable, but not fair. I stand before you, telling you May is training hard to become one. But she is limited here, her skills in the area are far beyond my own. But she still manages to stay happy and content."

Gaara remained quiet looking at Kai, who stood his ground. Though quickly apologizes feeling he might have stepped out of line."You speak...so highly of her."

"Yes...I do."

Reading the young man, he could see it. It was the same like in Temari and from Ms. Sayuri and her family with May. "I see...so her studies require much more."

"...Yes"

"...Thank you Kai. You may go."Gaara dismisses the medic ninja, worried now about what just happen. Kai bows out and leaves.

Not exhausted at all, managing to stay up even with the thrashing from Temari. The two of you stopped for the day, using your aura you begin to heal her and yourself. She looks at you, feeling her eyes on you, you look up at her.

"Yes?"smiling at her.

She just shakes her head."Nothing. You're getting better though with your jutsu. Deflecting a few of my attacks on you."

"Thank you."

"Your mind surely does process things much faster than any normal brain. Where you analyzing my jutsu too?"

Nodding your head."Yes, I was. The scanner built in me allow me to do such a thing. I process the information quickly, store it away. But you still did surprise me. I was kept on my toes a great deal."

"Good, but you need to stop."her words became like steel. Making you slightly flinch."Your thinking takes way to long, you have to combine the two together otherwise, your attacker could easily defeat you. I found way too many openings."She gets up from her seat."You shouldn't have so many openings. You also need more offense in your jutsu. The rest is fine. Do you understand?"

Nodding your head, standing up when you felt the presence of another. Looking in the direction of the big blue eyes that had been watching you a Temari this whole time. Knowing that aura well and those emotions."Kaito, come out."

"Wha-"Temari looks in the same direction, waiting a few seconds Kaito pops his head out and casually walks over to the young women.

Getting down to his level."This is a surprise, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to watch you fight."he says honestly."Though wouldn't your jutsu go smoother, if you just used your aura instead? You're jutsu would be stronger right? Plus...you wouldn't struggle and it would be more powerful. Water already come natural to you, anyway"

His words surprised you, he looks straight at you. What he said was true, you where not upset from what he said, just more surprised at his keen observation from watching. You, had to admit to yourself being tempted to use your aura instead of relying on chakra. It would be much smoother, you felt more connected more so than using chakra. Kaito looks waiting for you say something. Searching your eyes, he could see he was right, smiling.

It wasn't a mocking smile, more of a happier one."Don't be afraid to use your aura. It's still along the same line of using chakra...besides."he gushes."I think it's so cool."

Temari looks at Kaito, this kid who for some reason felt more comfortable about May than anything. This bright personality came out all the time, she nor his father really knew why he grew a liking to May. But it was cute, it was then she realized something."Aren't you suppose to be at the Academy?"

Dang. He knew he was trouble now, the brightness in his eyes fades away dropping his eyes looking down."Kaito, what is wrong?"

He shakes his head."It's nothing..."he mumbles."I just don't like school."

Sensing something else, becoming concerned."Why? Is the Academy not a wonderful learning experience?"

Biting his lip,"No...just don't tell my dad, please!"he pleads with you.

His pleading look was intense, his whole fiber in his body was begging you. Smiling gently at the boy, placing a tender hand upon his head."I shall not."Standing up."Would you like some lunch? It is late, but come and join us."

His smile returns."Yes, though do you think it would alright if..."looking embarrassed just a bit. Wondering what it was he wanted, you waited.

"THIS IS SOOOOO, COOOL!"Kaito throws his hands up, laughing the wind pushed up against his face and hair. The thrill of excitement was clearly shown, on him.

"Kaito, please hold on."you tell him.

Listening to you, he hold on your became tighter, Temari was below following the two of you. She looks up at you and Kaito, who you allowed to ride on your back, while you flew. He asked if you could allow him to ride you. Which was a strange request, but you didn't mind at all, the joy and happiness in his eyes when you agreed to this, made you enjoy the idea to agreeing to this.

Those down below heard Kaito's screams of joy, they couldn't help but look up seeing the pink haired girl zoom bye, with the black haired boy on her back and the blonde following them. It was a strange sight, someone found it awing, mainly the younger ones. Pulling on their parent's arm, pointing wanting to do the samething as Kai, whining. If their parents would not allow them. A few try to imitate you flying.

Looking over your shoulder, down below at the villagers."They look so small...you have the best view."

"I suppose."you think about it."It is relaxing, though."

Raising his hand up."I can almost touch..."

What he said puzzled you, there was weight upon his words. Curious about what he said, opening your mouth to say something."May!"Temari calls to you, snapping you out of it.

Looking down to the her, she was standing by someone. It was Kankuro, he waves for you to come down. Feeling, you might be in trouble infact you and Kaito thought the two of you where. Slowly you land down by Temari.

"I can explain..."you try to explain.

But Kankuro puts up and hand."It's fine, you're not trouble. I came to get you, because Gaara wants to talk with you."

Shocked."Mr. Gaara does?"Looking to Temari, she shrugs her shoulders not sure why either. Turning back to Kankuro, nodding your head."Yes of course."

"Alright then, this way."Kankuro starts to walk off, you follow him after helping Kaito off your back. The watches, and decides to follow anyway with Temari behind.

It was quiet with you and Kankuro. Your mind kept racing wondering what it was that Gaara wanted with you. Trying to think if you had broken any rules in any sort of way. But there was none that you could process at all. So what was it that he wanted? Keeping yourself calm, following Kankuro into the Kazekage's building. Kaito trailing closely behind, guilt rushed over him. He hoped he didn't get May into any sort of trouble. That wasn't want he wanted at all. If he had to, he would defend her. From the corner of her eye, Temari could see the worry guilt written on the boy's face. She remained calm, wanting to see what was going on. Even if she was slightly jumping to conclusions.

Reaching the office, Kankuro knocks on the door. Waiting a few seconds, he opens it telling you to follow him. From down below Kaito sees you walk in after Kankuro, he hurries to reach you. Only to meet with a the door shut in his face.

"May!"he screams for you, getting ready to knock on the door, when it opens up. Looking up to find Kankuro coming out shutting the door behind him, almost bumping into Kaito.

"Wh-"he sneers looking down at the boy."What are you doing here?"

"Kankuro!"Temari comes running up the stairs. Looking to his older sister, she looks passed him to the door, about to open it, but he grabs hold of her wrist she looks at him sharply. Yanking it back."What's the big idea!"

Holding up his hands in defense."Calm down, Gaara just wants to talk with her, that's all."

"Why?"Kaito demanded. Kankuro looks down at the boy who looks back not the least bit imitated at all.

"That's between Gaara and May."he tells him, looking to Temari, she demanded more. The look she gave him, made him flinch slightly."I don't know how long they're going to be in there for. I'm pretty sure it's not bad. But you can't go in there."

Planting himself infront of the door not moving, folding his arms across is chest, Kankuro was not going to move. Not even from his sister's heated look upon him, Kaito couldn't help but feel his guilt rise more. It weighed on him, like a ton of bricks. Looking to the door, he just hope whatever was being said between Gaara and May was good.

Time went by, seconds felt minutes, minutes felt hours. Temari didn't leave, Kaito wanted to stay but he had to go meet his father like always. Kankuro stood infront of the door, not moving like Gaara told him. Though his face was calm, he was worried just like Temari. But not as much, she was starting to become impatient and her worry was not making any better at all. Itching to barge in, but it would be disrespectful and going against the Kazekage's wishes.

The sun rose high, then started to settle. And still neither you nor Gaara came out. Feeling his legs starting to fall asleep, Kankuro shakes them just a bit to wake them up, when the door opens. Both of them look quickly anxious to know what happen and was said. Temari rushes to you.

"What happen?"she asks. Looking at you, but mainly directing the question to Gaara.

Kankuro looks to his younger brother. Wondering too, the look upon your face told him it was something that was either good or not, but it seem more so not good.

Inhaling you tell Temari a huge smile started to appear with each word."Mr. Gaara knows of my progression on becoming a Medic ninja. And he is so kindly going to allow me to become one. He is aware of my skills being higher than most, and I might be able to get the full training that I need here. So he has decided to allow me as well you Temari, to go to Konohagakure. To help further my skills, there is someone there name Tsunade, whom he was able to get in contact with. I am not in trouble, so there is no worry. He just wanted to know if I was alright with that. I am to train there for bit, and you Temari are you my jonin during this time. While I am your genin, he wanted to know of my chakra nature as well. Which I told him, it is Water. He said in Konohagakure that I will also learn the use of Water Release. Tsunade is a descendant of such a master, and she might have some information for me to study. So all is well. I am sorry..."you look to Temari and Kankuro."If there was any sort of distress that you both felt."

Relaxing and relived, and happy to hear the news, though also surprised. Temari congratulates you, she looks to her Gaara, thanking him.

"So, she's a offical Sand Shinobi then?"Kankuro asks Gaara.

"In a manner of speaking."he tells him."When Tsuande feels her training is solid, then yes."

With you and Temari."So when do we leave?"

Smiling at her."Tomorrow, bright and early. I cannot wait to see...Lee, Hinata and Naruto. It shall be sincerely nice."

"Tomorrow!? That's so soon."Temari smirks."Guess we better get everything packed, then. The journey there is a bit long."

Nodding your head in agreement."Yes, we should go pack." Putting an arm around you, she walks off with you from the guys.

Gaara and Kankuro watch you both."That was pretty nice of you, Gaara."

"She's working hard...it's only the right thing to do."he states.

Morning couldn't have come sooner, before the sun was up. You where already up, getting somethings ready, talking to the picture of you and April. Ready to go, Temari comes knocking on your door, calling to you. Up and ready to go, your pack the two of you leave the house. The was not up just yet, but by the time the two of you reached the cavern, the only way in and out of the village, the sun was slowly rises. You could feel your heart raising, this was actually happening. Nervous and excited the two emotions collided together. Following Temari, she told you to stay close with her. The stretch seem so long, feeling an itch to just fly through, when something crossed your mind.

Just a few more steps before exiting the cavern, you stop in your tracks looking back the way you both came. Your eyes weigh heavily with worry, feeling you stop, Temari stops and looks at you.

Reading your face."What's wrong?"

Your eyes drop, she could see the concern on your face."Temari...do not believe I am not happy. I am truly, it is just...I will be gone. Will Mr. Kankuro and Mr. Gaara be alright. It seems rude to leave, I mean he had been kind enough to allow me to stay, and I leave. This does not feel correct..."

Piecing it together, you where concerned about Gaara and Kankuro, guilt was slowly starting to show."Don't worry, they'll be fine."

She tries to comfort you."...I thank you, but...I did not even get a chance to say good-bye to either of them or Mr. Kai and Kaito."

This was really eating you up, Temari could tell. You where really a gentle person, who's mood would be affected greatly. Not wanting this to interfere with your training, she gets ready to suggest to go back, when she felt the presence of others. Turning around, she smiles at the faces at the end of the cavern. Shaking you, to look up. Doing as she said, you look up a glad smile appears on your face.

Kai, Kaito, Kankuro and Gaara where there. Your spirits back, you fly to them happy to seem the."Mr. Kai, Mr. Kankuro, and Mr. Gaara. Good morning."you smile to them, Temari comes walking behind you, stopping.

"We came to see you off, the Kazekage told me."Kai smiles at you."I hope you learn a lot, May. It's going to be weird not having you here. But don't worry, when you come back we can still have our dinner."

"Yes, I would like that very much. Thank you for coming out here."you thank him. He smiles at you, he then presents you with something a small pouch.

"This is a medical pouch. Ever medical ninja needs one. So here you go."he hands it you, touched by his gesture."It's small, but it's a start." He places a hand upon your hand, affectionately.

Attaching the pouch to your side, thanking him gratefully. Turning to Kankuro and Gaara."There's no need to worry May."Kankuro tells you."We can take care of ourselves. Have a good time thought, something tells me though, you'll be back here before you know it."

"Thank you, Mr. Kankuro."you bow to him, he cringes at what you said, but lets it slide. He smirks mumbling to himself.

"Won't miss that, really."

Temari couldn't help but laugh, lastly Gaara. You smile warmly at him, he doesn't say anything instead he holds out something for you. It was a forehead protector, with the village's symbol on it. Shocked by this, looking at it, then to him.

"Though, not one yet. Doesn't mean you are not one at heart."he hands you the forehead protector. Taking it from him, honored by this, your eyes well up. Holding it close.

"Thank you...I will wear this with great pride."you look to him.

Feeling a hand on your shoulder, looking up to find Temari."Ready?"Nodding your head."Good, let's go."she sprints off, you take off flying after her. The guys watch the two of you, until almost out of sight. Turning around to back inside, when.

"Gaara!"

Gaara turns around, the second he does, he was meet with a surprising embracing by you. Almost knocking him over, his sand didn't even react at all. Hugging him tightly, this caught off guard. No had ever touched him like this before, not even is own siblings. Kankuro and Kai watch surprised just as Gaara.

"You are so kind."you tell him."I shall make you proud."Just as quickly as you came, you let him go, but he was sure he felt something brush up against his cheek, turning around still in the air, you wave bye to him and fly back to Temari.

"Well..."Kankuro."You don't see that everyday."He looks to Gaara who was still in a state of shock."Well, let's go. Gaara."

Snapping out of it, Gaara takes his leave with the two young men. Instead of going back home, Gaara goes to his office, making his way all the way there. He was greeted with a gift, another one of May's paper's flowers, the color his eyes. Resting on top of box lunch, with a note. Picking up the note he read it. Opening the box, to find the meal inside. He wondered how, she manged to get in here and deliver it. Picking up the flower, he places a hand on his cheek, feeling that sensation, he was sure he felt something brush up against his cheek when May came to hug him. It felt warm, so very warm and tender. It was quick, but its lasting effects where still there.
