"ne ne onii-chan!" the blond girl chirped enthusiastically, clinging the younger boy. Her pale arms wrapped around his arm, her small chest pressed against his forearm. She rubbed her cheek against his shoulder in a very cat like fashion, making soft purring noises, a large grin painted across her face. She had been like this for a while, overly hyper, and excited, only for the fact she got to travel with her siblings, last time they went off she was left behind, seeing as she wasn't really part of the team.

The two walking behind him had looks of disbelief, even though they were use to seeing such a site, and living with the two, they still couldn't fathom why the red headed boy never really minded her hyper, and clingy ways. Even though the Sand nin had calmed down considerably, it was still odd to see their brother do nothing. Both held their breath as his aqua eyes turned to her, the look on his face seem almost murderous.

Instead of hurting the girl like the two expected he reached out and patted the blond haired girl on the head, rubbing her head a few times like one would do to a child or a pet, then tucked her blond pale hair behind her ear. Gaara wasn't normally affectionate, for the girl though he seem to treat her more like a younger sister then a older sister. "yes rin?" he asked, his voice laced with a bored tone.

Rin cooed softly, puring like she was before as he rubbed her head, she pushed her head up into his hand, then giggled softly as he tucked her hair back. She looked up at him tilting her head curiously "nyan" she mewled happily. She opened her cerulean staring up at him, her eyes sparkled playfully "where are we going again?."

Gaara shrugged "I never told you, so why do you say again?" he asked staring down at her, in his own way he was being playful albeit in a dry sort of way. She scowled slightly at him, "no I mean were are we going?" she asked glancing around at the forest scenery, truthfully she knew by the direction they were going, but she was hoping they were going to pass through the hidden village, and their destination were else were.

Gaara grunted softly, not even looking at the pouty look on her face, he hated that face, perhaps because it was to childish, and it annoyed him, or it was the fact that sometimes it actually worked. How the little wench wiggled her way into his life was beyond him, he still had his moments were he wanted to kill her, or at least damage her a bit, she never seem to care that he could take her life at anytime. Perhaps that's why he liked her, because she was the only person not to be fearful of him, and seem to expect him even with being a 'monster'

"We're going to konoha, and will be living there for a bit, sort of a mission if you want to see it that way.." he said softly, glancing at her, at the mention of the hidden village in the leaves, the girl seem to have a thoughtful look on her face. He knew that she came from konoha, and she transfered to Suna as a student, but he never figured out why she never liked to go to her village.

The girl was a puzzle in it's self, initially from reading about her past, she was the heir of the Inuzuka family, and well know family in konoha. She had good grades, nothing seem to off that gave him a inkling why the girl didn't like Konoha. He guess it had to do with family relationships, knowing she was on rocks with her father, she had told him once that she despised her father. She never said why, but Perhaps that was the reason she seem to abandon hope for the village.

"oh I see" She said placing a soft smile on her face, she rubbed her cheek against her shoulder leaning against the sand boy, she was quiet for a few moments, reflecting on the last time she had visited konoha. Her beautiful little sister was now grown up, and it seems her sister didn't like her all that much. So it ended up with a fight between the two, truthfully Kokoro wasn't even in her league of fighting the girl was to rash, and ran into battle. Which annoyed Rin, why was her Family so stupid?.. she supposed it had to do with genes. Though she didn't hate all the family, her and kiba were Kinda close, he was kinda brash too, but at least more mellow then her younger sister.

She seem to zone out until a cold nose pressed it's self against her hand, unknown to her, Shinku had returned from his hunting, his bushy auburn red tail swayed excitedly as he greeted his mistress. She jumped slightly not expecting the Wolf hybrid to appear "shinku!, my baby" she cooed, stopping to lean down and pet the lean wolf on the head, the wolf gave her what seem to be a grin, his tail wagging excitedly.

Rin starred down at him, "we're going home" she muttered to the half-breed, her hands rubbing his head absent-mindedly, licking her lips slightly. She scowled softly, staring into the hazel orbs of pup, then smiled ever softly as he licked her cheek happily "I suppose it's about time to return home ne?" she asked softly hugging the dog.

Before she could get any reaction from Shinku, she jumped at Kankuro's voice "Rin hurry up your falling behind!", at his words she finally took notice of the fact that the three had walked ahead "coming!" she said she patted Shinku on more time on the head "stay with us baby okay?" she muttered softly before running after the three.
