Gaara had been talking with Kori for quite a while now…

"You've changed a lot…" he said, playing with a strand of her hair. "Your hair was so long… Why did you cut it? You worked forever to get it that length."

"It was in my way, I guess. What do you mean I've changed?"

"Do you remember a long time ago when you wouldn't even smile, or laugh, or anything? You practiced Gen-jutsu like crazy.. what happened? I bet it's that Kyo person. He's softened you. I think that you've softened him, too."

"Well, we have a lot in common. He smiles a lot now."

"Hatori got this call, it said that Kyo was freaking out that you were gone. What is this world coming to.." Garra asked her. His face was expressonless.

"I still do practice martial arts… Kyo does too, you know." She said, cracking her fingers.

"Have you been in love yet?" he asked all of the sudden. Kori looked up at him, questioning his motives.

"Well… no. Guys don't talk to me much. Are you still going to school?"

"I'll be going to the same one as you are, only I'll be a senior."

Yuki, Tohru, and Hatori stood by the door, listening.

"I think it's working…" said Shigure, giggling with excitement. "I love watching this soap opera unfold O"

Yuki looked at Shigure. "What are you talking about?"

"Wouldn't it bee cool of Kori and Gaara's friendship were to say, deepen?"

"Um, I still don't know what your talking about…" said Yuki. Tohru was all: o.o

There was a long silence…

"YOUR SO DENSE! Your as dense as an ogre!" said Shigure. Tohru looked at Shigure.

"What….?" She asked. Shigure came over to her and blocked her away from Yuki.

"He's too dense! You musn't get near him!"

Yuki frowned. "Nice to know that I'm REALLY being made fun of…"
