"You're sure you're ok?" Kiba asked for the 100th time.
"For the last time yes!" I giggled. "I'll see you on Friday." I turned to unlock my midnight blue door.
"Why Friday?"
"I have to go to Konoha Elementary every Tuesday and Thursday."
"Why didn't you go on Tuesday?"
"1. It was my first day. 2. Anko-sensei just gave us the project. 3. I probably wouldn't of met you or anyone I know so far if I did go. Well I would still know Shikamaru, Gaara and Kankuro but, you know what I mean." He started to blush the same strawberry red and smiled shyly. "Anyway, see ya." I waved, stepped into my empty house and shut the door behind me.

I dumped my stuff at the bottom of the wooden stairs while I ran up them. I locked myself in my room and got changed. When I emerged, I was wearing a plain white sun dress, my hair was down, I wasn't wearing any jewellery, I wasn't wearing socks or shoes. I felt completely pure as I looked like a wingless angel.
I slowly walked up the stairs to the attic, which lead to the roof. When I opened the hatch to the roof I felt the breeze smother my entire body. I could feel each tile beneath my feet, they were warm from the sun's maize coloured rays. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. I laid myself on the hot tiles, facing east so the sun didn't get in my eyes. I placed my hands behind my head as a pillow. I took a deep breath.

"I need to get a grip." I thought aloud.
"Why's that?" A familiar voice and a familiar figure was lying next to me, in the same position.
"You should know by now Onii-chan. Every time I'm confused or weak, I talk to you." I turned my head towards my 'brother' and smiled. He chuckled and turned to look at me.
"So...how's Konoha High School?"
"It's so complicated and sad!" I sighed.
"How so? Have you made friends?"
"I've made friends! I'm not a loner!"
"I never said you were!" He stuck his tongue out. "Let me guess, the majority of your friends are boys?"
"Yeah, that's the problem..."
"Go on..."
"These three girls, Ino, Sakura and Karin, think I'm a boy toy! They think that I act like a boy so I can get any boy I want!"
"Eh?! That's the most stupidest idea I've ever heard!" He laughed. "You! A boy toy! What next?! Kurama has super powers?!"
"Tatsuya! I'm serious!"
"I know you are. You used my name."
"It's just I don't know what to do; I have a plan in mind for the boy toy thing but what about myself? I mean, I'm a wreck."
"Remember what I told you all those years ago?
"Um...to meditate when under stress?"
"Yes, that's basically it. I told you to be one with nature. You sit outside, close your eyes, forget about your surroundings and listen to nature. Think of nothing but you, and the noise, the noise of crickets and owls, bats and birds, flying and screaming without a doubt. And the one last thing you need to do is: Let it all out. Express what you feel with one move, a move that doesn't trigger violence, but a move that triggers emotions, and opens your heart to yourself, let you soul take over. You only live once so live your dreams, even though you're in reality..." He rubbed his thumbs over my cheeks, removing my silent tears and tear streaks. "Now tell me. When did you start to lose yourself? When did you forget who you really are? And why?"
"Tatsuya..." I smiled weakly. I couldn't hold it in any longer. Waterfalls flowed out of my tear ducts and onto my cheeks, yet they still stayed silent.
"You may not be able to answer the questions I asked you, but I can tell you one thing, I will always love you, Nagareboshi, because you are my family. You really are a shooting star because you made my wish come true, to have a little sister." He leaned in and kissed my forehead.
"I love you too Tatsuya." I cried my last tear as he started to fade away into the thick breeze. I rubbed my eyes and dried my tears. Tatsuya isn't my real brother, he lived in the same orphanage as me in Oto. He stood up for me when no one else would. I started calling him Onii-chan because he was like the older I never had. Eventually I fell in love with Tatsuya, he was my first kiss, my only kiss, and I wanted it to keep it that way. I'm not being picky but only someone who loves me for who I am and what I've done is worthy enough to kiss me.

I locked myself back in my room, I reappeared again wearing some baggy jeans and a baggy t-shirt, but not too baggy. I started cooking dinner and Yume came in through the door.
"Hey Nagare-chan." She was smiling. I didn't answer. "Your hair's down."
"I know..."I said coldly.
"Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing for you to worry about." I turned off the gas and strained the pasta. I gave myself a portion. "Serve yourself." I faked a smile. I sat on the sofa and watched some TV with Kurama as I ate my food.
"I need to cheer up. Maybe tomorrow I'll have fun..."

I followed the same routine as yesterday, and the day before. I got to school earlier than usual. It was pretty empty so I decide to do something, more like talk to someone. I walked up the stairs to the older students' classrooms. I tried looking for a auburn red head. Suddenly, I felt a someone hug me from behind. My search was over, the certain red head was behind me.
"Sasori-sempai, let go." I sighed. He released the half embrace and I turned to face him. "About yesterday...why did you-""I could see it in your eyes." He interrupted. I gave him a confused look. "You clearly didn't want a kiss so I didn't give you one." He smiled. "Plus I don't personally want to kiss you, no offence,"
"None taken." I smiled back. "And thanks."
...

...

...

"YOU GOT ME REALLY EMBARRASSED FOR NO REASON! YOU TOTALLY OWE ME!" I complained. "But then again...I owe you because you didn't kiss me..." I thought aloud. Now, Sasori was smirking.
"I have an idea."
"Oh Kami..."
"Don't worry. Text me on Sunday, then I'll tell you." He turned around and started walking.
"But I don't have your number."
"Yeah you do. I put it into your phone while you weren't paying attention."
"Oh"
"Well, the bell has gone so see you later." He waved and walked off.
"But the bell hasn't g-""BRING! BRING! BRING!" I sighed and walked over to my empty classroom.

As soon as I opened the door to 1-A, another red head was standing, this time it was Gaara.
"Anko-sensei, Nagareboshi's here. Can we go now?" He said coldly.
"Huh? Oh yeah sure. Enjoy" She started laughing. I think she could tell that Gaara didn't want to go to Konoha Elementary, neither did I but I didn't show it as much as Gaara.

As we walked down the quiet streets of Konoha, I decide to make conversation with Gaara.
"So..."
"So what?" He said, again coldly.
"You don't look like you're from Konoha. Are you?"
"No. Kankuro, Temari, Sasori and I are all from Suna. You don't look like you're from Konoha. Are you?" He mimicked me.
"No I'm not. I'm from Kumo." I said in his cold tone.
"You've travelled a long way."
"So have you." There was an awkward silence between us until we finally reached the Elementary School, or in Gaara's case, Hell on Earth.

We walked through the colourful hallways. The walls were a custard yellow. The doors were a baby blue and the ceiling and floor were a baby pink. Posters and pictures made an excellent collage to the walls and doors. We could hear the children laughing, we could hear the scribbling of pencils, the flickers of paintbrushes. Everything was buzzing. When we got to the Office, we explained why we were here.
"I'm Gaara and this is Nagareboshi. We're in 1-A at Konoha High."
"Oh good! Just go to class 3-B." She pointed to a door down a hallway. "Do you know what you're meant to do?"
"Sort of." I replied.
"We're doing a mentoring program so the students can experience interacting with older students. You each get a student to bond with. Gaara, you will get to bond with Susumu. And Nagareboshi, you will get to bond with Ryuu." The woman started to frown when she said Susumu and Ryuu.

We stopped at a emerald green door with 3-B that was painted in gold on the door. I opened the class door and peered in. There were other students from Konoha High, some were clearly older than others. The classroom was glowing with happiness, yet something felt strange, cold, sad, lonely. I walked forward so Gaara could come in. I tapped a boy on the shoulders. He turned to face me.
"Excuse me, do you know where Ryuu and Susumu are?" I asked politely.
"Huh? Oh you mean the Fuyona twins? There over there." He pointed to two lonely children sitting in a corner.
"Fuyona?" Gaara asked.

(A/N: Fuyona means unwanted.)

"Yeah. They're orphans so that means they're losers!" The brat started laughing.
"Oi! There's nothing wrong with being an orphan!" Gaara and I shouted at the brat. We were about to beat some sense into that kid when I felt a slight tug on my jumper. Gaara also felt the slight tugged on his jumper too. We turned to face a little girl sitting in a wheelchair. She had short yet wavy lavender hair. Her eyes were of a hot pink shade. She looked adorable with her freckles and the yellow bow in her hair. She had a curious look on her face. Behind her was what I was assuming, her twin brother. He also had a lavender hair but it wasn't wavy. He too had hot pink eyes and freckles.
"Are you two orphans like us?" Her voice was so gentle it could put a baby to sleep. Gaara and I smiled at her. I know right! Gaara's smiling!
"Yes we are." Gaara bent down to her level and looked at her in the eye. "You're Susumu, aren't you?" She nodded her head slowly.
"And you're Ryuu." I turned to face the boy. He nodded like his sister.
"I'm Gaara. I'm your...um..."
"Onii-san." She completed his sentence.
"And I'm Nagareboshi. But everybody calls me Nagare-chan. I'm your...um..." Ryuu started writing something on a whiteboard. It said 'Onee-san.' He was smiling, just like his sister. He rubbed it out and wrote something else: 'Before you ask, I'm a mute, that's why I have a whiteboard with me at all times. I don't mind being a mute, but I do mind it when people bully me sister. That's why I'm always with her.' I nodded my head.
"So you're an overprotective brother? Just like Gaara." I smirked. Gaara and Ryuu sweat dropped, they knew it was true.
"So...what do you want to do today?" Gaara asked Susumu.
"I wanna go to the park!" Susumu cheered.
"Ok let's go." Gaara went behind her wheelchair and pushed her out of the door. Ryuu started to follow them until I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Where do you think you're going?" I asked him. He pointed to his sister and Gaara. I shook my head and wagged my finger. "That's what Susumu wants to do, not you." He was stunned. "What would you like to do?" He stood there for a minute.
'Can we watch a film? Not at the cinema, I don't like cinemas but we can rent a DVD and watch it at your house?'
"A film it is then." I felt a cold touch grasp my fingers as I realised that Ryuu was holding my hand.
"This kid really is an angel..."
