Komojin
Disclaimer: I own the plot nothing more…Sorry for the long wait…I just figured no one really liked it but ya know what? I'm goin' on with it. So here it is.
It seemed like a bright light pierced through his covered eyes, that were shielded by his now large hands. He stared on at the tree tops and lush green grass, moist from mornings dew.
He wondered whether they would remember him, truly.
"Are you coming little brother?"
He stared at Kankuro for a long moment, followed suit with him, before stopping just before reaching the large gates of Konoha.
"Will I be excepted, you think?"
Kankuro nodded.
"They're your friends right?"
Gaara smiled and nodded.
"I suppose so."
They continued on their way slowly.
Then in the distance they saw an image of a woman with sandy blond hair and dark navy eyes in the arms of…
"Who is that?"
Gaara was met with a man whom looked exactly like him only tanned with black sclera and golden pupils. His ears were long and pointed, elfin like with red hair framing his face in a messy array of spikes.
"Who are you?"
The man said nothing, only smiling brightly to reveal white teeth.

Gaara awoke to bright light in a bed he was not familiar with. He sat up, cotton sheets falling to his lap in a heap.
"Where am I?"
"In the Nara compound." Came a low voice from the other side of the room. Shikamaru stared at his guest before walking further into the room. "You've got quite a nasty bump on your head from last nights encounter."
"Encounter?"
Shikamaru nodded.
"Apparently you had a little scuffle with some missing nin while on your way to Konoha. Kankuro practically dragged you here yelling about how you might be dead."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Gaara leaned back on the bed and sighed. He barely remembered last night, aside from giving Baki a stern look before leaving Suna for Konoha.
"This must be so very 'troublesome' for you, right, Nara?"
Shikamaru merely shrugged.
"Where is that idiot brother of mine?"
"He's at Hokage Tower, going over the incident of last night with the Hokage. Apparently he says they were not human." Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "But then, Kankuro has always been an idiot, right Kazekage?"
Gaara nodded.
"I suppose so."
"Well, you might want some privacy then? When you come out, you'll be escorted by the Hyuuga's to the tower."
"Hyuuga?"
-
Hinata and Neji were standing just outside the Nara residence when Shikamaru and Gaara, accompanied by Temari, whom was already there, outside.
"Hello Kazekage."
Gaara nodded at Neji.
"Hello."
"G-good morning."
Gaara nodded at the blushing girl. He didn't even take a second glance at her as she asked him how his trip had went, after all, he didn't feel like going over the night previous scuffle that he had still yet to remember.
His mind went back to the dream.
'Who was that man?'
