I don't know how long I had stayed still for, but it felt like years. I was in Emily's arms. But I was too confused. Wasn't Emily supposed to be dead? And who exactly is 'Melrose'?

"I don't understand…" I said, frustrated.

Emily stroked my head "I'll tell you everything you need to know, right now, you need to go see your boyfriend, he looks like he's about to murder someone…" She whispered, I couldn't help but blush at her words.

I looked over my shoulder, Gaara was glaring daggers at Emily.

I let go of her "What is this…?" I pointed to the sphere like thing that was all around us.

Emily chuckled "I'll tell you soon, right now, he's the main priority…" She nodded in Gaara's direction.

I sighed and turned round to face Gaara, I smiled a small smile, I didn't fool him. He glared at me. I winced at his cold look but kept my smile on.

I started to walk over to him, slowly, wondering if he hated me right now. I could see him relax as I walked near him, but not much, he kept glancing back at Emily.

As I approached the ice sphere, it quickly started to disappear, until it was all gone.

I was a few feet away from Gaara, my smile still planted on my face.

I reached out to him as I took another step toward him, he quickly grabbed my hand and slammed me against his hard chest. I blushed.

His arms wrapped round me possessively, now I could feel him relax.

"What were you thinking…" He growled.

I pulled back to look at him "This didn't happen on purpose, it just…happened" I admitted. He searched my voice, seeing if I was lying or not. He sighed after he realised it was the truth.

"So who's that then…?" He asked, glancing up at Emily and then back at me.

"She's my--"

"--I'm her sister…" Emily said kindly "…And I am sorry for disturbing your village, Kazekage-sama" She bowed.

'Since when did she know him?'

He nodded in acknowledgement before continuing to glare at her. "I think we should go somewhere less…crowded…" Gaara said, looking around at the people that were watching us. I suddenly felt nervous as their stares bored into me, I swear that I had seen a group of girls glaring at me for reasons I don't know.

Emily nodded and smiled at us "Where shall we go?" She asked sweetly.

"I'll take you to my house, then you can answer my questions"

"And mine" I added.

Gaara looked at me from the corner of his eyes, he smirked at me.

She nodded as Gaara started to lead us through the crowd. Emily followed behind us.


Gaara sat down on a chair and pulled me down onto his lap, I held in my blush.

Emily sat on the sofa, looking perfectly at ease.

"Now…" Gaara said "…How did you get here? I remember Rin saying that you were dead, explain yourself" He demanded.

I smiled to myself.

Emily took in a deep breath "Well, my name is Emily Suzuki. You obviously know that much…" She said "…sixteen years ago, if you remember, there was the grate war against the nine tailed fox. Our family…" She looked at me as I gave her a confused look. "…Fought to defend the village hidden in the leaves, Konoha. But before we could deliver our last blow, something happened…" She frowned as she continued "…Our family rivals had decided on ambushing the Ryuu clan. We were all at a disadvantage, we were all weak from the fight and our chakra supply was pretty much low…" She stopped and looked at me.

"You said 'Ryuu' not Suzuki, why is that?" I asked, frowning at her.

She sighed "Let me finish…" She said "…They wiped most of us out, they wanted to be the most known and powerful clan known through all the nations. But as they were attacking, our mother was giving birth to a baby, Rin…" She turned to smile at me, I didn't smile back. "…By the time she had given birth, almost our entire clan had been destroyed in the fight, mother was on her own for the next few days, trying to survive and provide for Rin. But when she had almost gotten to the Konoha gates, she was ambushed by the clan that had tried to wipe the Ryuu clan out."

My frown deepened 'Something's not right…'

"She only had moments before they slaughtered her and Rin, but with all her strength she fought back until she was beaten badly and only found one possible answer…" She looked me in the eyes, I shied away from them, there was something in her eyes I didn't like.

"…She did the forbidden jutsu, she sent you into the other dimension. Our opposite world."

My eyes widened and I stiffened, Gaara's arms wrapped round me protectively.

"They h-how does that explain to why I'm here?" I almost yelled at her.

She smiled sweetly at me "You know how you're good with the elements water and ice…" she said.

I nodded slowly.

"When you came here the first time, that was because of the water. You unknowingly summoned the dragon spirit to help you. And the second time you came here was because of the blue moon. Those elements are both water, the moon is the waters source of energy. That's why our clan name is Ryuu, dragon spirit. The dragon spirit of the moon. But sorry to disappoint you…" she said "…You can only transfer twice so there's no going back, you're stuck here"

I sighed and put my head in my hands and slid onto the floor, quiet sobs escaped me.

"So…" I whispered "…My whole life has been a lie"

Emily got of the couch and walked over to me and then bent down.

I peeked up at her, she was smiling.

"At least you know the truth" She said cheerfully.

It was at that moment, at that time, that I wished Emily would just disappear.
