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.
"Karura…" Hoshi said in his sleep for the tenth time. Moegi was having enough trouble taking care of the Tanuki Demon, the nights were proving to be the most difficult, however, as Hoshi tended to have nightmares.
"I'm so glad that Mama and Papa are on a mission." She said to herself as she scratched the back of the Tanuki Demon's ears, like a dog, and calmed him.
He'd been with her for several nights, keeping her company while she spied on Kazekage. He told her only once, after she had asked for his particular interesting the red headed boy.
'He's the son of someone special.'

Hinata had been in the company of Gaara and her cousin for several days.
Being Hinata, shy and at times introverted, those days did not go without blushing, incoherent sounds, and fainting-due to the fact that Gaara walked out of the bathroom, that she had knocked on, wearing nothing but a towel-she was dying for him to return to Suna and leave.
'I love Naruto…I love Naruto…I LOVE Naruto…' This was a mantra she said a thousand times before falling asleep on the futon after being switched with Neji for guard duty.
It was all too much, being around the red heard was frightening yet exhilarating! He seemed to read her eyes and call her out on her blushing. He even spoke to her during lunch one day while he excused Neji as a favor to a certain blonde, allowing Neji to see Ino-who is said certain blonde.
She giggled at the memory of Gaara, with Hinata in tow, following a surprisingly oblivious Neji, to the flower shop.
"Why are you awake Hyuuga?" Gaara asked, stepping into the room.
"…um…snore…" She flipped on her side, shut her eyes and faked sleep. Of course she felt stupid, but what else was there. 'Stupid STUPID Hinata!'
"Hmmm seems that Hinata is sleeping…what ever shall I do to wake her?"
She squeaked when she was flipped on her back and Gaara was sitting on her stomach, holding her hands by the wrist over her head. He stared deeply with no trace of emotion.
"Don't pretend with me girl. I find it humorous- a bit- that you are under the impression that we are friends."
She didn't respond.
"I only know three emotions in my life, anger, sorrow and acceptance-though that isn't classified as an emotion." He said, and it was then she noticed how dull and lifeless his eyes were. "I have hated, killed and changed to protect others whom don't deserve it."
"…Gaara…"
"I have only two friends-Uzumaki and Yamanaka…they know what I am and despite it, they wish to learn more about me with unabashed eyes filled with fright-like yours."
He paused.
"Even Neji's eyes hold that very same emotion and it makes my blood boil with anger and yet…" He leaned closer, his nose touching hers, eyes now closed. "I want to get close to you, I want to know you body and soul. What does it mean?"
Her eyes widened.
She let out the sigh she'd been holding in.
'Just like I felt for Naruto.'
"I think that's called love."
Sera:…I'm disappointed with this chapter and sorry it's so short. It's just that I'm working on a whole bunch of other fics plus I'm never home and only have a tiny amount of time to work on this…thanks for the reviews and if I get a whole lot more-wishful thinking-I will so continue!
Isn't Moegi cute? She's going to be vital to the story, just you wait!
