Aimee woke up early to pack her bags. Well, she really didn't unpack, she just took out cloths from her bag and put it back. She dressed up, and went in Gaara's room. He was already up, and she smiled at him, "Goodmorning sunshine" she said in a perky voice. He gave her a strange look, "'Sunshine?' Since when did you say that?" "Sorry, I'm just really happy today" "I'm not" "You're never happy Gaara" He shrugged, "True, true, can't argue with that" She went and sat next to him and kissed him. He quivered after they parted. "What?" asked Aimee. "I-I'm just not used to someone...er...doing that" She cocked an eyebrow, "Doing what?" "Doing...er...what you just did" "Oh, this?" she went close to him and kissed him again. When she pulled back, his eyes were still closed, but he opened them slowly. He cleared his throat, "...yeah, that" "Well, you're going to have to get used to that, 'cause I'm not going anywhere"

She stood up, "When are we leaving?" she asked. "Why are you in a rush?" "I'm not, I'm just asking" "When our Sensei comes to pick us up" "What's his name?" "Baki" "Ah...I see. I'm going to get something to eat, wanna come?" "Nah, I'm good" She was about to walk out the door, but then he grabbed her wrist and pulled her against his body and kissed her. "Whoa...where did that come from?" she asked smirking. "Well...uh, you said that I should get used to it". She smiled, and kissed him on the cheak and walked downstairs.

She couldn't believe she was leaving them. Sure she would visit in the weekends, but things wouldn't be the same. Things would be different. But she knew things would be alright. Then she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around, and it was Gaara. "Something wrong?" she asked. "Uh...umm...I think I'm going to eat with you" She smiled, "great"

While they were eating, she noticed that he was a little sad...well, more sad. "Gaara, are you okay?" she asked. "...Aimee...I-uh...umm...when we go for the Chuunin Exams...don't expect everything to be...er...normal" "What are you talking about?" she asked. "Well...I-I don't want you to get mad at me" he said. She cocked an eyebrow, "Mad, why would I be mad? Gaara, what's going on?" "I just wanted to tell you that this wasn't my idea" "...okay..." "Umm...are you familiar with Orochimaru?"

"...don't tell me he's your leader or something" "Aimee-" "Please don't tell me that" "But...Just listen" He went closer to her, so no one would know what he was going to tell her, "Things will happen, I can't tell you what, but it won't be pretty. I just want you to be careful" Aimee took Gaara's hand and put it on her chest. "Do you feel that Gaara? That's my heart, and it's beating fast. That means I'm nervous. Gaara, just tell me" He looked away.

She touched his face, "Gaara...I could never be mad at you, and you know that" He looked at her, and kissed her. A different one...like a goodbye kiss. "G-Gaara, are you leaving me?" "I don't want to...that's far from I want. But I'm doing this now so I won't cause you pain. If I wait later...I will hurt you" "Gaara, please...I love you" "Don't make this harder for me. I don't want to have to give you up, but I have to. I don't deserve you" "But it's too early. Not now, please" He closed his eyes, and it looked like he was about to cry.

"I don't want to lose you" "Aimee...if we stay together, it'll make things worse...I'm sorry but...jesus christ" He took her hand and kissed it. "No matter what...I will always love you" He stood up, and went to her room.

They Arrived To Konaha

When Aimee reached Konaha with them, she split right away. Going on her own buisness.

Sasuke threw a rock at the man with the puppet. "What are you doing in my village?"

Aimee looked ahead, and saw Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, three little kids, Sakura, Naruto...and Sasuke. Sasuke... she thought. She started running calling his name, "Sasuke...Sasuke!" Tears were running from her face.

Sasuke looks behind him, and sees Aimee crying and running to him. He jumps from the tree to the ground, "Aimee? What happended?" But all she does is crashes to him and cries in his chest. He puts one hand on the back of her head, and the other on her back, "Aimee, Aimee, what's wrong?" "I want to go home" she said. He knew she was staying with Gaara's family, and he looked back, "What did you do to her?" he said. "No, Sasuke, just please, take me home" Sasuke picked her up, and brought her home.

I know this was short, but it's only an intro to the next chapter. And I'm SOOOOO sorry if it took me this long. :[
