Hmm… I have to…sneeze…for..some odd reason.. EH? Oh yeah read on to the next chapter! A lot of fighting scenes coming..Not in this chapter…err well you know what I mean… (Maybe you don't but whatever! Lol) And sorry but I really needed that break.

It was relaxing to sit at home and do nothing. (Nods. Anyway here is the chapter!)

Temari felt a loom of darkness creep over her face. She was close to backing up or hitting him till she felt his cold lips press on hers and made her mind go blank.

They were cold but they warmed her to the toes. In an instant she felt a tongue slip in and started to caress the inside of her cheeks. Another numb feeling spread. When she realized what she was doing she shook her head and jerked back, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU-"

He chuckled and pressed his finger over her lips, "Shush my lady. People sleep to gather. And forgive me to know that they will need it."

She didn't roll her eyes but she was about to. "Ugh! Whatever. Don't you ever kiss me again!" And she started to smack his hand away.

He easily flipped to his palm and caught her fingers, "Is that so? It seems as though you were quite into it as much." And a smirk touched his lips, "But I guess if you kiss a flower with thorns it is bound to bite back." She squinted her eyes at him, Where did she hear that before? Why was it so familiar to her? His small smile turned grim, "So you do not remember…" He said and looked hurt.

Temari gave a confused look, "W-what?"

He started to whisper. "Do you not remember Temari? Was our love too foolish to even exist in this horrid life?" and he lowered his eyes to her hand, he rubbed her knuckles gently and smiled a little. A foolish question… He closed his eyes and bent down while raising her hand. Kissing her he held his lips there at the top of her fingers.

She gasped,

"W-Why did you do that?"

The white haired boy smirked and stood up, "Your going to be late for your class if you don't go soon." He closed his eyes, "I can walk you."

She blushed and shook her head while twiddling her fingers, "N-no its ok." Before she knew it the little boy had taken her hand and started pulling her toward her class. After silent walking he raised her hands to his lips and kissed between the two.

His long eyelashes rose, "I'll see you tomorrow Mari."

Her face grew redder, "I-Its Temari."
He smiled, "Mari is cute too." He winked at her then started walking away with his hands stuffed in his pockets.

She gulped and opened her mouth to say bye, "I-I'll see you later Eze!"

The little boy glanced back then rose his hand, a bit laughing to himself.

Temari narrowed her eyes and felt tears beginning to gather up. She let a whimper escape when he let go and started to walk away to his room. She balled her fist up and called out, "What you can't call me Mari anymore?" She choked out and stood angry.

Ezekiel stopped. A shocked look upset his face and he turned to her a little. His voice was calm and smoothing but his mind was going crazy. His features snapped back to a relaxed tone and he looked at her dully, "Shame is it not?"

"Shame is it not?" The wounded Ezekiel limped to Temari and almost stumbled to the floor.

She rushed to his side and could see his bloody eyes as it leaked into the white snow. Red filled and he had closed them in pain. More strings of red slipped out in place of tears.

She wept and held her mouth while he rested his head on her thighs, "E-Ezekiel w-what?"

"I was punished for my foolishness.." His lips trembled when he said this and he felt his breathing die down.

"W-Who did th-?"

"I can't see you Temari… Isn't it a shame?"

Temari fell to her knees still gazing at him. Tears went around her cheeks and cried under to her chin. "Eze…"

He stood grim. "I still can not see you and it pains me to know I never will."

She started to sob and her chest started to heave up and down, "Eze…"

"Sleep my love…" He quietly did a jutsu and kneeled so he could touch her forehead. He had not walked too far and it was easy to reach over. "Later on will finally end our sorrow." He first pressed his two fingers on his lips then onto her head.

She widened her eyes then slumped to her side. He caught her in his long arms then carefully rose up. I tried.. I really did try to stop from loving you but… His thinking was stopped by a sharp pain and he placed Temari on a nearby couch. Another thump echoed in his head and he groaned out, "Damn it.." He breathed out and his icy eyes glared outside, "It's time."

At the very same time Ezekiel felt that painful thump in his head. Gaara opened his eyes and sat up when he felt it too. "What the hell?" He mumbled out and saw that Temari wasn't there in her bed, "Temari?" He said and stood. Its too quiet. He focused his thoughts then heard sand whipping outside his house. Its sounds… like..its inside.. And he opened the door to the living room. Warm air rushed to his bare chest and he walked suspiciously. "Temari?" He said in a rough whisper. When he saw that she was knocked out cold on the couch he ran to her and pressed his fingers to her neck. She was breathing, "Hey wake up." He smacked her cheek a little and when she didn't wake up he knew something was wrong, "Temari?" A crunching noise ran through his ear and he turned to look at an opened front door.

He narrowed his eyes and headed toward the front doorway when he saw Hotaru's room door was open. "Hotaru?" He whispered to himself and rushed inside.

….No one… They were gone… "Hotaru?" He said again angrily and looked at the empty spots. Damn it… He spotted a note on her bed. He grabbed it then narrowed his eyes even more when he saw what it said,

Come and get me…

He growled in anger and crumbled the paper up. Throwing it to the floor and starting to run out the door. "I'll kill him.." His thoughts pulsed over and over in his brain.

Outside sand circled around in small tornadoes and wrapped around Gaara as to touch him and bring him to his knees but he had easily ran through and was following his instinct. Hotaru…. I can help you.. I don't know whats going on but I can try! He jumped onto a building and looked around panicky, "Come on.." He noticed a little pair of two eyes glancing at him. It was a little further and was in another forest nearby. He squinted his eyes to see better.

It was Hotaru and she was looking straight at him. Her white eyes were frightened with fear but her expression stayed dry. She looked tired and she was wearing a weird, a bit baggy, purple dress. Her hair glowed beautifully to him and he reached out to her while running. "Hotaru." And he panicked. His angel… My angel? Was.. Was she the angel I saw when I was younger? Wait.. How do I know- Gaara was confused, pissed and panicky at this point and was heading super fast toward her. He saw her mouth the words Gaara then a hand gripped over her and pulled her into dark bushes.

He stopped when a pain grabbed at his leg. Ice…

"Now Gaara you must not ruin the fun just yet." A voice mumbled and disappeared away from the quiet sandstorm which turned into tiny snowflakes.

He pounded his fist on the ice and it broke apart with a small loud crack. He growled in frustration. Shit…What now.. I lost them…

Neji and Sasuke sat by Temari and Hinata poked her fingers, "W-What do you think happened?" She asked and lowered her eyes.

Sasuke crossed his arms, "And its weird how the weather turned…"

Neji nodded, "Something is happening and I fear our lives are in danger.."

The front door slammed open and Gaara shook snow off his hair and shoulders as he walked in. "We need a plan." He said as he went to them.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. Neji held his chin, "It seems as the snow was caused by that guy named Ezekiel. I believe his main clan is ice."

"Ice?" Hinata cocked her head to the side and sat on an armrest.

Sasuke looked at him, "How do you know Neji-kun?"

"When we were fighting those sand monsters. I noticed every time you destroyed one that it ended up bursting into blue ice pieces instead of sand. Then observing from Ezekiel and Hotaru that their clan controls ice. Therefore if Hotaru is strong as you say and Ezekiel is older and taught her. He is strong enough to change simple weather."

Sasuke chuckled, "Good observer."

Neji smirked in a smart aleck way, "I know." He smiled out.

Hinata looked at snoozing Temari, "S-So whats the plan?"

"I can forgive that you have given us away but next time you will be punished." Ezekiel rasped in Hotarus ear and pushed her to the floor, "Start."

She shivered and her arms trembled as she picked herself up to sit down.

Ezekiel's watched her with cold icy eyes and turned his back, "Continue with your life Hotaru…. You.. You have to forget.. And keep going.."

She nodded and her tired eyes lulled into a trance.

As he turned away the same sharp pain pulsed in his head. Stop … haunting me.. He squeezed his eyes and pressed his hand on his head. "I-I'm trying mother.." He mumbled and wandered off so Hotaru wouldn't hear. "Why do you still curse me with this dread? Have I not suffered enough?" He struggled to breath and a red tears almost slipped down from his white pupil.

"I see I'm not the only one with the problems." A familiar voice came from behind a tree and he showed his face.
Ezekiel continued breathing hard and was almost to his knees. "Gaara." He mumbled and gave a frightened troubled look.

Gaara took a step forward, he recognized that look. Its me… my own reflection from long ago.. "You're in pain… I can see it in your eyes.."

Ezekiel slowed his breath down and slowly straightened. Still breathing hard he smirked, "Its too late Gaara. There is nothing you could do. It is too late. You're late."

"Late."

His eyes narrowed, "Our suffering will end along with yours if you please."

"What?"

"If she does it correctly I will fulfill my mothers wish and we can live in peace.."

"W-What?" Gaara clenched his fist, "She? You mean Hotaru?"

"My mother Gaara. Do you wish to know what she wanted me to do to make her proud? To make her appreciate me?" He almost rasped this out but calmed his anger. "All I wanted was her to tell me she loved me… That was all… Even if she didn't mean it.. I…" His eyes showed pain, "I just wanted her to tell me it was going to be ok… and now… look.. Here we are still living under her curse and forced to bid by her rules…"

Gaara had enough, "Ezekiel I don't care about you or your damned mother and I'm sorry about that. But I only care about Hotaru! Damn it I LOVE HER!"

Ezekiel wasn't hurt.. Instead he smirked, "Really… then.." He stared off a certain direction, "Prove it.."

Gaara looked at him for awhile then followed his gaze in a rush.

"For now.." Ezekiel stepped back. Kunai and darts flew past him and hit a tree with a strong thwack.

Gaara pushed through bushes and went around trees. It seemed hopeless and he began to think Ezekiel activated an Illusion jutsu until he saw Hotaru sitting down. He ran to her and clear ice quickly wrapped over her in a dome. He punched it as he came closer to it, "Hotaru!" He banged on it twice and she didn't budge. The air rushed to his hands and could feel it getting colder by the second.

He didn't notice as black clouds suddenly began to sink in over the bright moon and about to cause hectic.

"Hotaru answer me!" He begged and hit the cold ice again. "Wake up! You don't have to do whatever you're doing! I'm going to save you!"

She opened her glowing eyes and stared straight ahead. Gaara backed up when a fuming blue light peeled from her skin. It made tiny crackling noises and it had crept outside her protected dome.

Shards of ice began to build up in a shape of her. "Save me?" It said as soon as she got a mouth, "I never said I wanted to be saved."

Gaara's breathing grew heavy and he knew a fight was about to take place, he frowned and narrowed his eyes, "I never asked." And they both got in fighting positions.

I finished… I'm still really tired.. Now.. Ugh.. Now to work on my other story. Oh hope you enjoyed this one! Please Review! And I didn't spell check. Sorry!
