I was still sitting in the alleyway, it was dark now. Its been that way for a few hours now, and it was getting pretty cold.

"What're you doing?" A voice asked next to me.

I jumped at this, I hadn't heard anyone approach me.

I looked up. "Sasuke? What're you doing here?" I asked.

He smirked at me "I could ask you the same question, why are you here?"

I looked away "No reason…" I lied.

He sat down next to me "I don't believe you…" He said. "…Just tell me" He demanded.

I sighed, I knew I was a terrible liar "Because…" I said quietly "…Emily, I cant help the feeling that she's out to get me"

He snorted "Really…" He said, it sounded like he didn't believe me.

I turned round to glare at him "I'm telling the truth, she almost threatened me. Ugh!" I said, frustrated "…You wouldn't understand"

He shook his head "I understand, I've felt that before, with my bother…" he went of in thought.

"Whatever…" I muttered.

I stood up, my joints cracked with a popping noise as I stretched.

"Ah…that felt good…" I said as a small smile spread across my face.

"Feeling better, are we?" Sasuke said, suddenly at my side.

I blinked and then looked at him, I shrugged "I don't know, probably one of my mood swings…" I admitted "…You never know when my mood will change…" I looked back down.

Sasuke's hand was placed on my shoulder "Listen…" He said calmly "…If Emily is acting up strangely, just come to me, I'll put her in her place"

I frowned 'Since when is he so generous?'

"Sure…" I said.

Sasuke nodded "I think you should go talk to Gaara, he's been running round looking for you all day, he's worried"

My eyebrows risen "I thought he was going to watch the sun set with Emily"

Sasuke shook his head "Apparently Temari had a few words with him that sent him on a rampage looking for you"

I nodded "Maybe I should go apologise to him, I've been avoiding him, but it's not my fault, I've only just been told who I really am"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow "And who are you?"

I smiled up at him "Rin Ryuu"

He blinked "…" it seemed that he was stunned at that.

"Ok, I'm going!" I said, running off "…Bye Sasuke!" I called back.

'What the hell was that! Did he do a mood jutsu or something? I wonder if they're real…'

I ran as fast I could up the dark, empty streets of Suna.

"RIN!" Gai's voice came, I froze, one leg out in mid air.

"WHAT'RE YOU DOING OUT AT SUCH A TIME OF NIGHT!" He yelled, popping out of nowhere in particular.

He approached me with a large smile on his face, I was still frozen but I felt shivers roll up my spine.

He put a hand on my shoulder.

I flinched and screamed "RAPE! SEXUAL HARASMENT!" I kneed him in the balls.

His face screwed up in pain before he crumbled to the ground in agonising pain.

"Right in the snickers…." He cried.

I shivered before taking off running again.

'I wonder if he knows what a snickers in…'

I followed the familiar path that lead to Gaara's house.


I barged through the door and slammed it shut, part of the reason I was running away from Gai, but mostly because I had to see Gaara.

Someone came running through, it was Temari, she had a half glare and a half relaxed face on. She pulled me into an embrace.

"Where the hell have you been!" She growled in my ear.

"I was…just…thinking…" I said, struggling for the right words.

Temari pulled back to look at me "Think about what?" She demanded.

I sighed "About Gaara and…Emily"

Temari's eyes tightened before she moved next to my ear and said "I don't like her ether" She whispered.

I felt myself relax, but I didn't know why.

"Temari" Gaara's voice called "Who's at the door?"

He walked down the stairs and seen Temari hugging me, he relaxed before bolting over to me and snatched me out of Temari's arms. There was a whirl of sand. Before I realised it, we were in Gaara's room.

"Huh?" I blinked.

"Where the hell have you been? I've been looking all day for you" He hissed.

"I was out"

"Where?" He growled, his arms tightened around me like a clamp.

"I was just sitting in an alleyway"

"Why?"

I shrugged, trying to ignore the pain that shook my heart, thinking about the memory about Emily and Gaara.

"Answer me" He demanded.

"You and Emily…" I said quietly.

Gaara froze "You think we're…"

"I heard Emily ask you out, what do you expect me to think?" I almost growled at him but I kept it quiet.

I could feel Gaara shake his head "No, no, I could never think something like that, I've already got you. Why would I want Emily? I feel no attraction to her to the way I feel toward you, don't you understand?" he whispered.

"Understand what?" I asked, not looking up at him.

He placed his hand under my chin and make me look up, into his deep sea foam eyes.

"I love you…" He placed his lips over mine, I closed my eyes.

It was those words, they comforted me, my stomach was sent on back flips and fluttered like a butterfly.

'I love you…' His words echoed in my head, over and over.

When we broke apart, I nuzzled his neck and whispered "I love you too…"


Sorry if it's a bit cheesy, but I couldn't resist!

Please tell me if you like, or hate it or you think it was plain boring ^.^ Thanks! But I still think I rushed this chapter.
