Leaving Konoha with all my memories here, I'll remember everything.
Everyone said goodbye to me.
Even my sister and Neji came to see me off today. He had taken the role of older brother after the exams. I'm glad he cared.
I was going to change too.
My destiny…wherever it takes me…is going to make me a better person.

Gaara-san was the only person that was escorting me to his village.
Now out of Konoha borders, we rested around a cloister of trees. Gaara-san made the fire and sat at the other side of the fire. It was more quiet than usual in the forest. Either that or it was just me.
We just sat there staring into the fire. I took out two lunchboxes. I know it was nearing midnight but we hadn't had a chance to stop and rest.
"Gaara-san? Would you…like something to eat?" I offered him.
If I was going to be married to him I better start talking to him more. So I could get used to his presence. Gaara-san nodded.
He ate everything. He must've been hungry. Or just polite.

Early next morning. The fire died out as it should but I didn't see Gaara-san anywhere.
"Gaara-san?" I called out.
Did he leave me? He wouldn't. He must've gone off to use the bathroom or something.
I calmed myself down before I panicked even more. I sat back down and waited. It wasn't too long I waited. He came back. I was glad to see him. He said he was only checking the area.

We reached the end of the forest. I could already feel the heat radiating off of the sand.
"You might want to change into this," Gaara-san handed me some clothes.
"Why is that?" I took the white clothing.
"Your skin looks sensitive to the sun. It's best to wear this and not have a heat-stroke," he plainly said.
I nodded and went out of his sight to change.
It was all white, like one of those long robes, kind of like all the Kages' wore. There was a long robe, with a long jacket, and a hood that looked like a scarf. It fitted just right and I didn't have trouble hiding my weapons and medic gear.
I came out behind some trees and looked at Gaara-san. There was a flicker in his eye. It disappeared and he nodded.
It was rather cool in the desert. There were many clouds hanging about so it looked like it was going to rain tonight or the night after. Gaara picked up the pace and we got to the village in the afternoon.
I saw his two siblings waiting for us at the entrance of the village.
Already done, just needed to revise that clothes part and finish provcrastinating with this chapter.
