A/N: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters, Misashi Kishimoto does. I'm sorry that it's short, but I promise it is important to the story… I'll try to update soon, especially since Spring break ends in like… 3 days and I've done nothing. ENJOY!

"Why are you sorry Tenshi O Kaa-san?" Gaara asked, giving a small, reassuring smile. Sobbing, she pulled the eight year old into her arms and hugged him tightly.

"I'm so sorry Gaara… I have to… I have to… I have to leave the village…" Tenshi sobbed, clutching Gaara. (For the record, she's sad for leaving Gaara; she couldn't give a rat's ass about her village)

"W-why?"

"Sabaku wanted me t-to kill you!" The ravenette exclaimed. "I refused, and he named me a traitor! I have to pack what I can carry and l-leave by morning…" The red head tightened his hold on Tenshi.

"B-but… Tenshi Kaa-San…"

"I'm sorry Gaara…" She whispered. "You can spend the night if you want…" she offered, after a while. The small boy nodded his head and they left for the ravenette's apartment.

The fourth Kazekage rubbed his neck, still in shock. I can't believe she did that, he thought.

The two spent most of the night watching movies, before Gaara closed his eyes. Smiling, Tenshi kissed his head and hoped he would actually get some sleep before putting a blanket over him. It was nearly midnight by the time she had finished cleaning and packing her satchel and duffel bag. Sitting on the bed, the ravenette took out Yuuki, the small violet snake, and wrote down a report for 'Shadow dude'.

I watched as Yuuki disappeared in a puff of smoke, then looked over to the supposedly sleeping red head. Sighing, I placed my hand on Gaara's head soothingly. the window creaked open and I turned to look at it. Hanging there, with one leg in and one out, was Sasori. I turned back, my hand still on Gaara who had already opened his eyes. Sasori sat next to me and cupped my right cheek.

Using the leverage to turn my face towards his, he probed my eyes using his own. Scowling, the puppet master ran his thumb along my cheekbone. "Tenshi… what's wrong?" I pulled form his grasp and looked down.

"I have to leave the village by morning…" He got angry at this.

"What? Why?" I shrugged.

"Where are you going to go?" I turned my head and looked him in the eyes.

"I don't know…" My expression fell even more, if that's even possible.

"There's a small village on the border of the Fire country…" he offered. "It's a small gambling town, but it's a good place to lay low. You can even find a job if necessary." I leaned on his shoulder and thought.

"Alright… Promise to visit?" I looked up and met his blood red orbs. He smiled and gave me a chaste kiss.

"I'll visit you, but you'll have to give Pein-Sama a reason to keep sending me, otherwise he won't let me." There was some shuffling and a groan from the other end of the bed. We both turned to see Gaara sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

"Tenshi Okaa-San?" chuckling I pulled Gaara over and hugged him.

"Did we disturb your pretend sleep?" he nodded. "I'm sorry… Gaara this is Sasori." I smiled as Gaara shrank away, hiding behind my arm. Sasori smiled slightly, chuckling and patted his head.

"It's nice to meet you, Gaara, Tenshi speaks of you often."

"Oh! You're Tenshi Kaa-San's boyfriend!" I might as well have had a heart attack! I can't believe he actually said that! Sasori chuckled and nodded.

"Yes, I am." What the hell! He just admitted…. Wait… huh! "I should go, Leader just called a meeting." He kissed me before jumping out the window and disappearing. Sighing, I crawled under the covers and ruffled Gaara's hair.

"Good night, Gaa-Kun." I kissed his head and fell asleep.
