I sighed as I stood up, I just needed to get some air. But the girls have helped me, they've taken my mind away from…

I shook my head, shaking away some unwanted thoughts.

"Hey Rin! Where're you going?" Sakura asked,

"I'm going to get some air, please don't follow me" I said, opening the front door and walking out it, still in my pyjamas. I ignored the cold as it hit my bare legs and arms.

I huddled up against myself and started to walk away from the house, slowly making my way down the empty street of Konoha.

I watched my bare feet as I walked, not looking up once to check around.

I could see my breath coming out of me in a white cloud of smoke, not a good sign, especially since I'm in my pyjamas.

A shiver rolled up my back and goose bumps rose on my arms, the hairs on the back of my neck were sticking up as well.

I rubbed my arms, trying to warm myself up, it worked a little but not enough.

I looked up at the almost full moon, it was waning crescent moon against the starry sky, there were some clouds floating across the moon, making the clouds seem brighter.

I breathed out again and watched my breath float away like a could of its self.

A small smile lit my face. 'I wonder what it's like to be a cloud, to be free and careless, not bothering to what happens'

I stopped to stare at the moon again.

A gust of wind blew over me, making me shiver violently.

'Maybe I should go back, I'm freezing and if I don't move now I'll get sick'

"What're you doing out here? It's cold, you could get sick" A worried voice said, pulling me out of my chain of thoughts.

I spun round at the familiar voice, my eyes widened.

"G-Gaara…" I breathed.

"Rin…" Gaara said, his face looked pained and sad "…Please, you have to listen to me"

I looked back down, thinking if I should run or stay, but at the moment, every part of my body was telling me to run. But I couldn't find the will to do it, I didn't want to see him sad.

I felt my heart tighten and my throat close in on me, making me feel like I was going to cry. I held it all in, trying to be brave.

"Rin, what you seen wasn't what you thought it was, I was just-"

"-Kissing someone else! Do you have any idea how that made me feel!" I yelled, shocked that a bubble of anger had slipped through my lips.

I felt something wet drip on my cheek, it was starting to rain.

Gaara winced "Please Rin! Listen to me!" He yelled, his voice cracking almost.

"Gaara…" a voice said beside him. It was that girl from before, she looked over to me, her face apologetic "…and you must be Rin, please, I need to say something-"

"-That you love Gaara, I think you've said enough. Goodbye" I turned on my heels and starting to run away.

"Rin!" Gaara's voice cried out.

I felt my vision become watery, tears were foaming but I wiped them away.

I turned round a corner to fast, I tripped over my feet and fell over into the now muddy ground. A tear I tried to hold back, fell from my eye and slid down my cheek. I curled into a ball and continued to weep.

I could hear footsteps coming my way, I didn't make a move, just stayed motionless as best as I could, but my panting breath gave it away.

"Rin…" The girls voice from before said "…Let me talk to you, please"

I didn't say anything but I could hear her sit down in the mud next to me.

"About Gaara and I…" A cry escaped me. "…I was only telling how I felt, I kissed him, he didn't kiss me. It was all a mistake, I didn't even know he was dating, or engaged for that matter. But please, hear him out, he loves you, I can see it in his eyes. Please, just listen to him"

I heard her get back up and walk away. I stayed in my small ball, but what she said had made me feel better a little bit, but what she said could have just been words.

It was a few moment later that I heard the footsteps of someone else approaching. I tightly closed my eyes.

"Rin…" I heard Gaara's voice, coming closer and bending down to me. His hand touched my cheek, he gasped "…You're freezing!" He yelled. "I've got to get you out of here!"

I felt him lift me up, my body was almost completely numb with cold. Just a small buzz of pain. He lifted me against his warm body, I couldn't help but snuggle up against it.

I suddenly felt the cold air whip around me, was he running?

I was soon overwhelmed by sleep, it came crashing down on me, making me fall unconscious.

"Gaara…" I whispered before going under.

I know it's a short chapter, but the next one will be longer! Please review! ;D
