Chapter 2:

A blood lust began to overcome Gaara as he followed her restless body through the streets of Suna.

The same possessed face from when he had killed others years ago had appeared on his face. How dare that woman put him through this after he had saved her ass?!

His feet dragged through the village subconsciously following her trail.

'I can smell her blood already, Gaara! This one is definitely worthy!'

He would show this girl what fear really was...just she wait...

He searched for her chakra. Though very low on it, she was quick on her feet and by the feeling of relief he felt running through her, he could tell she was at home by now.

Soon beginning to calm down, he found he was at her house.

He glared up at the fairly nice, two story house. There was a light on at the top floor but only in one room. It seemed there was only one person awake at this time. Riko.

He saw a tree right above the window and used his sand to transport himself on it. Peering into her home, he saw a sight he wouldn't believe...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

She fingered the slightly torn picture of her and Gaara when they were younger as a single tear landed upon it.

Why would he do that to me?! Come back after so many years and act as if it's alright?

She frowned at the picture as her grip tightened. "I-I...loved you," she mumbled through gritted teeth.

'Loved' being the key word...

She thought about it. Could 'loved' ever be 'love' again?

Her anger was taken over by pain.

Riko had been so scared. Scared that Gaara had died and would never come back for her! Ever! But what hurt her more was when she thought about him still being alive and not caring for her enough to come back.

She let out a sigh as her eyes softened.

"You can't hide that chakra from me, Gaara. Speak up! Why have you followed me here!?"

Riko turned toward the window as her eyes hardened again. "Hard of hearing? I said speak up! I want answers!" she ordered.

She noticed Gaara come back to his blood lust state.

"Do you know who you're mouthing off to?! I'm Gaara of the Desert! Kazekage of Sunagakure!" he uproared as he transported into her room.

Her face stood emotionless as he walked up to her slowly. "You're not the brightest are you?! You should learn to respect your leaders!" he sneered, his arms crossed as he glared down upon her.

His sand soon came out of his gourd as it circled uncomfortably around her.

Riko only sat still on her bed as if nothing was happening and then she looked straight in the boys light blue eyes. "Have you forgotten of our relationship, Gaa-chan?" she asked innocently.

Gaara eyes widened at her words as his sand suddenly began to withdraw itself and head back to his gourd.

He slowly backed up; she was right, he would never lay a hurtful hand on her. Even when Shukaku got the best of him, she was not touched intentionally.

"Gaara-kun..." she whispered as his back finally hit the wall. "Arigato...I'm so glad you're alive," she said as she smiled.

His eyes widened. All this time...she just wanted to confirm his safety?

She had probably not gotten word of him being Kazekage when she was away from the village. After all, it had come to a surprise for Uzumaki Naruto-kun when he returned to Konoha.

So that was it? Problem solved; they would best friends again?

"...but..."

After that word, a frown appeared on both of their faces.

"Times have changed...and I can't! I can't do it anymore! I...I don't want to see you anymore Gaara..." A few tears escaped her eyes as his widened noticeably.

He couldn't find a thing to say and he froze in his place. Even Shukaku was speechless at this moment.

"Goodnight...Kazekage-sama," she spoke respectfully.

Gaara stared at her as his body shook involuntarily. "Ri...ko...?"

"I said goodnight...!" screamed Riko as she closed her eyes.

She looked down at their picture as her hot tears trickled off her nose and splashed on the torn paper. "...and goodbye..."

Gaara's pupils shrunk in his widened eyes as he slowly slid out the window.

As he dropped to the ground, he stared into the distance.

...He had lost his only real best friend. No. He had lost more than that...

He had lost his only friend.
