"I used to hate you." Gaara said.

Benji looked up from his book, surprised. Why would Gaara say something like that? Especially now, when Sakura was in another one of her depressions.

But she looked at him and she laughed. It was strange how the random things Gaara told her would make her feel better. Benji wished he could do that for her. Ever since he was eight, he wished he could do that for her.

"You know, I used to hate you too."
