It was a few moments after the 'voodoo doll' incident and Kyuu had started getting a bit fidgety. Rei, who had finally woken from her green-torture, looked over at the impatient girl and asked her what was wrong.

"I wanna see Gaara!" Kyuu said bluntly. Rei could only blink at her response. Seconds after Kyuu's declaration, she latched on to her friend's arm and began to whine. "Already see Kakashi! Want see Gaara! GAARA NOW!"

Rei pulled her arm away stiffly and made sure the circulation still worked. "Well I don't see him any where…so how are you gonna see him?" Rei asked, poking fun at the girl who was now on the ground kicking a screaming like a toddler. "If you act like that, we won't go see him at all." Rei warned, seeming like a scolding parent. Her words had their desired effect as Kyuu stopped immediately and stood.

"Well, if you don't take me to see him I'll…I'll…I'll hold my breath and I'll die and it'll be all your fault!" With that, Kyuu filled her lungs and puffed her cheeks out with air, looking for all the world like a deranged chipmunk.

Rei rolled her eyes and shrugged. "Go ahead. When you pass out you'll start breathing again."

Growling, Kyuu exhaled, her face already a little blue. "TAKE ME NOW!" She bellowed. Rei blinked and backed away slowly, a sweatdrop already forming. Kakashi walked over soon after coming to stand next to the frightened Rei.

"Why don't you just go to Sunagakure? He'll be there."

Kyuu instantly perked up as she looked at Rei, her childish demeanor already back. Kyuu skipped happily over and started tugging on Rei's sleeve, her expression resembling that of a small child begging for candy.

"Oh ok…fine we'll go…"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Kyuu squealed as she jumped up and down for a moment before running off.

"Um, Kyuu…" Kakashi stated as he lazily watched her back become smaller, his finger pointed in the opposite direction. "You're going the wrong way." A few seconds later, Kyuu slowly walked past him following his finger and mumbling incoherently.

They had just entered the border of Suna with Kyuu leading the way, Rei and Kakashi not far behind and the rest of the group pulling up the rear, when Rei heard a familiar tune from the skipping girl in the front. Gasping excitedly, Rei rushed to catch up to her friend and sing along with her, providing the back up.

"Bum bum bum bum."

Kyuu began, smiling brightly. "Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.'

"Bum bum bum bum."

"Make him the cutest that I've ever seen."

"Bum bum bum bum." Rei giggled slightly.

"Give him two lips like roses and clover."

"Bum bum bum bum." They joined together for the final line.

"And tell him that his lonesome nights are over!" As they finished the song, Kyuu noticed red hair in the distance and darted off after it. A few feet away, she tripped, falling face first into the sand. She looked up and sputtered, sand flying from her mouth, only to see him a few feet in front of her. She jumped up and started running towards him.

"GAARA-KUUUUUUUUUN!" She squealed excitedly as she jumped through the air at him.

"NO KYUU!" Rei shouted a bit to late, already knowing her friend's fate. She could only close her eyes.

CRASH!

Kyuu was violently stopped by Gaara's barrier. She slid limply to the ground, drool slightly slipping from her slack mouth.

"Stupid girl…" Gaara sighed as he looked down at her pitiful state. She stood moments later and latched on to him with lightening fast reflexes, even faster than his famous absolute defense.

"Oh Gaara-kun! You're even cuter in person!" She snuggled into him, her arms and legs were wrapped around him tightly.

Rei's face was blank, a sweatdrop firmly in place. "What the heck? What a silly fangirl…"

A flashback of Rei's reaction to Kakashi suddenly fills the screen. Rei pushes it away and laughs nervously. "Back to the show, ne?"

Kyuu was still latched onto the poor sand-nin, little pink hearts floating up from her as she giddily chanted 'Love love! Gaara! Love!' Gaara's face slowly started to blue and Rei made sure to point this out.

"Hey Kyuu! You're killing him!" Rei said harshly as she pulled her off of Gaara. He bent double, taking long deep breaths before he looked at the two girls before him.

"How dare you try to kill me! ASSASSINS!" He screamed and both Kyuu and Rei sweatdropped. 'He could have killed her…but he didn't…' Rei thought before Kyuu interrupted her thoughts.

"Hey Gaara, paranoid much?" Kyuu asked him and Rei laughed.

"If so, you made him that way, Kyuu." Said girl growled and once again punched Rei. After watching her friend writhe on the ground in pain for a moment, she noticed the gourd on Gaara's back.

"Ooh, can I poke that?"

Gaara blinked and crossed his arms. "No." He walked stiffly towards Konohagakure and Kyuu followed closely behind.

"Can I poke now?"

"No."

"Poke now?"

"No."

"Poke now?"

"No!" He said, finally agitated after hearing her pleas the entire way to Konoha. Rei and Kakashi were a bit perturbed as well, but had taken to playing a warped game of 'I Spy' to drown out Kyuu's chatter.

"You know what? I poke anyway!" Rei would have warned her, but she wasn't quick enough. POKE! The sand came out of the gourd before her finger even got half way and smashed Kyuu into the ground.

"EEEE! Sand!" Rei exclaimed happily as she ran over and proceeded to make a sand castle, complete with a twig/leaf flag on the highest peak. She shrieked when Kyuu shot up from under her castle, ruining it, a small pile of sand on top of her head, the flag still in it. She coughed and shook her head, sand flying in every direction.

"I's still love the Gaara!" And she glomped him.

Gaara stood still for a moment, still trying to comprehend a 'glomp' before he devised a brilliant plan to rid himself of the offending girl now hanging from his waist. It would take a brilliant mind. Ridged discipline. Cat-like reflexes. He took a deep breath and readied himself.

"Hey! What's that?" Gaara said, pointing behind the two girls. When they turned to look, he shimmied out of Kyuu's grip and ran off.

"NO! GAARA-KUUUN!" Kyuu ran after him, pulling a rope out from behind her back. She caught up to him quickly and tackled him to the ground before tying the rope around his waist. "Haha! I caught a Gaara!" She stood and pulled him up with a tug of the rope. "Ok Gaara-kun. Walk."

Rei was laughing so hard she was crying by the time they got back. Kakashi's eye was a little watery and he held a hand over his stomach, but overall he seemed oblivious.

"That looked so much like a messed up rodeo…" Rei spoke through her laughs. Kyuu and Gaara glared darkly causing Rei to squeak and shut up.

They continued their trip to Konoha as Rei made a quick observation. "You know Gaara…you could get outta that if you really wanted to…With your sand and all…" She let the sentence die, allowing everyone the chance to let her true meaning sink in. They all stopped walking and Gaara blushed and babbled incoherently for a few seconds.

Rei poked Gaara's arm. " :3 Somebody likes bondage, doesn't he?" Gaara only blushed deeper and sat on the ground in a huff. Rei burst out laughing as did Kyuu, Kakashi even chuckled slightly, but they all stopped when they heard the girls' stomachs growl.

"Ok! On to Ichiraku!" They said together and led the way towards the town, dragging Gaara behind them.
