I walked around a bit before spotting a park. Wow, who knew such a place like this could be found in a dry place. It is odd that no one is here though. I sighed as I sat down under a tree I opened my sketchpad. So I could put the finishing touches on my picture. It was a picture of Kakashi sitting in a tree asleep.
He got the first one cause he saved it to me. I have other doodles in there to. It is hot, maybe a nap would cool me off. Sitting my pad and pencil down I leaned back against the tree. I drove off the feeling I was being watched.

I came to the park to think. I have been doing a lot of that lately mostly about Sasuki Uchiha. I was sitting in my favorite spot to think when she came into the park. I watched as she took a seat under the tree I was sitting in. I watched as she drew a picture of her sensei. She sat the art pad down and looked up. I thought she would have spotted me by now. I jumped down to look at her to see that she was asleep. A small wind blew some hair in her face. I brushed it behind her ear I froze when she move toward my hand. When she didn't wake up I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding.
I sat down next to her and sat there a bit before looked more closely at her work. Wow she is good. I flipped there the book. She has only a couple of pictures in, it must be new. I looked at her work. She has one of her sensei, one of her brother and that Naruto boy together. I turned to the next page and drop the book when I saw the picture of myself. Is this how she sees me? I picked her book back up and walked off. Why does she see me like this? How can she see me like she does?

I woke up sometime later. I glared at the time. Shit I'm going to be late. My pencils in my case and hey where is my sketchpad. Needless to say I panicked. What if someone took it shit, shit. "Hey Sasuki what you doing, you are going to be late." Sakura said coming over to where I was looking for my art pad. "It is none of your business and if you do not want to be late then leave with out me." I snapped at her as I parted a small, shrub looking thing. I heard her blow her breath at me then stomp off.
Okay now she is gone. Think girl, you came into the park sat down under that tree pulled out your draw stuff that Kakashi gave you and put the finishing touches on his picture. It was getting a little hot so you thought a nice nap in the shade so would help cool you off. But when you woke up your book is gone. I sat back down near the tree and took a swing at it. I guess the pain I had hoped to get in my hand would lessen the pain of having to tell Kakashi that I lost his gift that he gave me. I pulled my knees up and put my head on top of them. I will not cry. Kakashi will just tell me it was just a book, but it wasn't it was the first gift I got from some one else beside my brother and Naruto that was something I wanted.
The guys and girls always get me things I do not like or want. "Are you looking for this?" some one asked form some place. I know that voice but from where? I jumped up and looked around the park no one is here. "Okay show your self." I said getting ready for a fight. I heard a soft thump behind me. Shit I forgot to look in the tree. Turning to find no one there I turned back around only to come face to face with Gaara.
Needless to say I was freaked out. So much in fact I fell on my butt. I watched as an odd look crossed his face before it was quickly gone. He stared at me for a bit. I crossed my arms in front of me and stood up and glared at him. He raised my sketch book up in front of him "Hey that is mine give it back" I said trying to take it from him only to fall on the ground once more. "Where did you go" I yelled "behind you" Gaara said I flipped over and looked at him sighing "Gaara please let me have that book back it means a lot to me" I asked him "Why" Gaara asked "it was a gift from my sensei for my birthday." I said getting another odd look before it was gone.
"Why the picture though?" He asked "If you have to know, who ever gives me a sketch pad gets the first picture in it. So far I have three of my brother and two of Naruto and then Kakashi gave me that one so he got the first picture." I said "no why the one of me?" Gaara asked I could feel my cheeks heat up I looked down at the ground then looked him in his eyes.
Wow they are so green. "I wanted to okay." I said running off without my sketch pad I had to get out of there before I did something like try and kiss him again.
Gaara pov
I just stood there as she ran off. I looked down at the ground and realize I still had her sketch pad. I took off running after her. I jumped on to the roof tops and spotted her. I quickened my pace a bit so that I was going fast then her and landed around the building. I stepped out into the street and grabbed her by her arm. Only to get a senick shoved into my shoulder. I growled and she stopped moving. She turned to look at my then she looked at my shoulder. I heard her gasp then she started to dig though the small pack she was carrying.
"What are you doing?" I asked pulling out the shickne. "Getting some bandages out." She snapped at me. "Why?" I asked her "Your hurt and it is my fault that you are. Seeing as I am the one that did that to you. So let me fix it." She pleaded with me.
I sat down and lead against the wall. "Well" I heard her ask "well what?" I asked her "I can not bandage your shoulder if your shirt is still on, now can I?" she said placing her hands on her hips. "You really shouldn't bother. In fact I surprised you got me." I said she just looked at me oddly "What do you mean by that? Doesn't your mom ever take care of your wounds when you come home hurt?" she asked I don't know what kind of look I gave her but she did don't look me in the face after that.
She just handed me the bandages and walked off. I sat there for a bit before bandaging my shoulder. I looked at the blood on my hands. I realized something then and there. My sand protects me for those that wish to kill me. Is that why she got through it? She did not want to kill me, but just wanted to defend her self. I leaned my hand against the wall and sighed. I shoved the left over bandages into my pocket. It was mid day before I decided to get up and move around. It was the hottest time to so not too many people where out. So needless to say I was surprised when I stopped the fox boy running around. I quickly stopped him with my sand.
Sasuki pov
Sighing I kicked the sand under my feet. I still didn't get my book back. I looked up at the sun and sighed once more. It is almost mid day, I best get out of the heat and cool off a bit more. I walked into a small café. I glanced around at the people in the cafe some cooling off other eating and hanging out. Needless to say I did not look too welcomed.
"Can I get a glass of water please?" I asked nicely "Get out of here we don't serve leafs here." The owner or cook one told me. I just walked out and headed back to the place where we all were staying. I made it half way before stopping to rest witch I should not have done because once I sat down. I knew I was going to pass out. Damn sun, damn heat, damn them and not servicing leafs. Damn it I don't want to pass out here.
Gaara pov
I held him as he tried his best to get out. "Damn it let me go, I have to do something important." He yelled luckily no one was around to here him. I smirked "and that would be what?" I asked "I am going to make sure Sasuki is out of this damn heat." He yelled "Why does her being in this heat concern you?" I asked he growled at me "I do not have time for this for all I know Sasuki could have already passed out by now."
I did not realized I had let him go till I went to ask him something else and he was gone. I growled at myself I let her dictated me again. I walked off to my home. I could not help but to think about her. Sasuki Uchiha one of the top shonbis of her class, second only to her brother. I thought of the things I had found out about her today. She liked to draw, did not want to kill if she did not have to. It was or will be her birthday soon, maybe I should get her a gift, where did that thought come from? I was almost home when I spotted a crowed of people from the village. I jumped up onto the rooftops to go around them picking up bits and peaces of what they where talking about.
"Think she has any thing wroth any value on her" some one asked "She is a leaf why would they have anything that is valuable on them you know how poor they must be. Just look, they are taken jobs from us." A man said "If she doesn't have any thing on her I am sure we could have some fun with her." The first man said with a wicked smile. I stopped to see just who they where talking about. I only knew of two female leaf ninja that where here in town Sasuki and the one with that odd hair color.
Sasuki pov
I woke up when some one tossed some warm water on me. I growled and slowly opened my eyes expecting to see my team members. Naruto smiling at me Sasuke smirking at me and telling me she was sorry for letting them do that and Kakashi holding an empty bucket. But instead I found my self in the middle of a group of sand ninja. I quickly looked around hoping and praying to find a friendly face. I stood up when I did not find any I stared to walk away when I was stopped.
"where do you think you are going?" some man asked "Back to the hotel" I said taking another step only to be stopped when he took a hold on my arm "let go" I said looking at him "Make me" he said My blood burned knowing the fact I would get in trouble if I did make him. I looked at the sky for answer and found one. I smirked and looked at him "what are you smirking about girl?" he asked tightening his grip on my arm. "Only the fact you will be letting me go now." I said "and why is that?" he asked, "Because I say to." I heard Gaara say as many people whispered his name and backed up. The man held my arm let go like I burned him, Gaara walked off and I followed him. Once we where away form them "here" he said handing me my book. I blinked a few times "thank you for returning it and for the help back there." I said as I quickly kissed him on the cheek and made myself disappear in a poof of smoke.
