I sat in Temari's bedroom, Kankuro was currently sleeping on the sofa, snoring.

Temari was filling me in on what had happened over the last few years, like how Gaara had become Kazekage, it made my heart flutter to know he was still here and more importantly, here in Suna!

She had also filled me on how Shukaku, Gaara's inner demon had been extracted from him and in the process, killing him. But lady Chyo had revived him. If she was still around, I'd be at her feet, thanking her.

Sakura had also became the best medic nin in all of Konoha. While Naruto was still training to become Hokage. Gai was still kicking around, which scared me to no extent.

Sasuke had also returned back to the village after Orochimaru, Itachi and the Akatuski had been beaten.

"Temari…" I said.

"Yes?"

"What happened to Gaara when I…" I couldn't finish my sentence.

Temari's face suddenly went sad "He went into depression, he even tried to take his own life to be with you. But Naruto came to the rescue and stopped him. Gaara from then on, wanted to protect people. But he's still in his depression, he hardly ever talks unless it's with the elders but other than that…nothing"

"When can I see him?" I asked, determent to make things better.

Temari's face lit up "You're not"

"Huh?"

"We're going to hide you"

"But what about Gaara!? You cant keep me away from him!" Anger rose up in me.

"I know, but I want to make this a surprise for him…" Temari said.

"Does Gaara sleep at all?"

"Oh, yeah, ever since Shukaku was extracted, he's been able to sleep. But he's both a light and heavy sleeper so it's hard to tell if he'll wake up"

I nodded "So what're we going to do?"

"Well, there's going to be a celebration tomorrow, for Gaara's first year of being Kazekage…" She said "…I'm going to dress you up and when he sees you, I want you to run"

I stared at her blankly "How's that going to do any good!?" I nearly yelled.

"Just listen…" Temari said "…You'll lure him out onto the roof top, he most defiantly will follow you"

I sighed "This better work"

"It will, I promise. My plans never fail, and besides I've already got a kimono picked out for you"

"Oh joy…" My voice was flat an unexcited.

Temari glared at me "What's wrong with it?"

"Think about it, how do you know he'll recognise me? I've changed"

Temari thought for a moment, examining me over.

"True, but you still have that cute little button nose…" She put her index finger on my nose "…And trust me when I say this, you're still as cute as ever"

I puffed my cheeks as I felt head rush to my cheeks.

Temari laughed and then tackled me to the floor "You're just so darn cute!" She laughed.

My eye twitched. "Let. Me. Go" I said through clenched teeth.

Temari laughed nervously "Sorry…"

I sighed and sat up as she let go. "But what do you expect us to do after we sort things out?"

Temari grinned at me mischievously "I cant tell you that…"

I was about to answer but there was a soft knock at the door.

"Yo! Temari! Gaara's back." Kankuro said.

"Kankuro! Come in here for a moment and shut the door behind you!" Temari called back.

Kankuro quickly came un and shut the door behind him.

He smiled at me and glanced at Temari "What'd you want?" He asked, rather rudely.

Temari glared at him and said "Gaara cant know about her, we've set a plan up so they can sort things out. Got it?" She growled.

Kankuro sighed but nodded "And I was looking forward to seeing the look on his face when he sees her"

"Well sorry for bursting your bubble, but their relationship needs some thinning out so keep your trap shut" She barked.

Kankuro raised his hands in defeat "Alright! Alright!"

Temari sighed and turned to me "I want you to sleep under my bed, just in case he walks in, ok?" She said kindly.

I blinked and nodded, mostly because of her strange mood swing.

"Alright…" I whispered and crawled under Temari's bed. "…Is this good enough?"

Temari grinned "Perfect"

Ok! That's da next chapter!
