Yay! Here' chapter 2 part 1...


Acea trudged towards her apartment, getting pounded by the rain. Within a few minutes, she was completely lost.

"Great..."

"Acea?"

Acea spun around to see Gaara, standing, holding an umbrella over his head.

"What are you doing out here in the rain?"

She folded her arms over her chest.

"I could ask you the same question."

She saw a shadow of a smile on his lips, which was something she hadn't seen while they were eating dinner.

"...Well..."

Gaara pulled the umbrella over head, protecting it from the rain.

"You look lost... can I walk you to your apartment?"

This defintely wasn't the same Gaara that had she had met a few hours ago. He started walking away, leaving her in the rain.

"Hey wait!"

He didn't stop for her. Grumbling to herself, Acea ran after him.

"Okay, fine, have it your way..."

"How far away is your apartment from here?"

Acea thought about it as she looked at the paper the Hokage had given here.

"I don't know..." She handed the paper over to him.

"Oh, that's about five miles from here."

Gaara nodded and the rest of the walk was in complete silence, save for the sound of the rain falling.

Once they got there, Ami opened the door and ran out to meeting them. She gave Gaara an odd look, before raising an eyebrow at the rain-soaked Acea.

"I'l see you later. Good night Acea."

With that Gaara left, and Ami went into interrogation mode.
