So...yeah. I'm kinda sad that I'm leaving it on this chapter...but I need to end it before the story becomes too long. And I'm making it so that the Sand Village is extremely far away. The chappie's long because it's the last one.T,T (noooooooo!) Oh! Thanks to my reviewers. Srry to keep you waiting!

Time

The silent moment stretched on for a few more seconds before Naruto said something.

"I want to go to bed. I think we should forget about what just happened here- for now. We can be angry tomorrow, when we have enough energy to kill them."

The gang looked at him in surprise. Naruto had never said anything that made more sence than that.

"-Or we could kill them now..."Kiba growled.

"G-good idea N-Naruto-kun." Hinata said, making Kiba shut up.

"Well, let's just go to bed. It's 2:00a.m already." said Neji, not needing his Byakugan to see quite a few tired faces. "Boys follow me."

"Girls follow me." said Hinata.

The gang said their goodnights and went to their rooms.

As the days went by, Shikamaru, Ino, Naruto, Kiba, Hinata and Sakura eventually forgave the pranksters. They would have random parties, more sleepovers, and train together, with the Kazekage coming over every three weeks.

Katara trained with team Gai, because, since the time she came, she had found a best friend in Tenten. She would train with her, leaving Neji pissed off because he would have to train with Lee and Gai-sensei.

A month later

"Hey Katara!" She turned around to see Sakura running at full speed up to her. Katara, Hinata and Kiba were talking about different types of dogs, and they left a few seconds before Sakura called her.

"Tsunade-sama ...wants to ...see you!" She gasped.

"Do you know what it's about?"

"She said...something about your...family-" Sakura said, catching her breath.

"Oh." Katara said, even though her stomache flipped. 'WHAT!?!?!?!' she thought.

Before Sakura could say anything else, Katara shot past her and booked it (ran as fast as she could) to the Hokage's office.

Hokage's office

"...So?" Katara said stepping into the office when Tsunade told her to come in."What is it?"

"Well...I don't know any other way to put it- We found your family."

Katara was hit with a wave of emotions.-Happiness, excitement, relief...and something she couldn't make out.

"...For real?" she asked, trying to keep calm.

"Well sort of. Your father and twin sister are living in the Sand Village. I don't think your mother is..."

"...You don't need to say anymore...but...how will I see them?" Katara asked. The unknown feeling inside her was growing.

Tsunade looked thoughtful for a few moments. "Garra is still here. I have asigned Lee and Shikamaru to take him back to the Sand. You will go with them. "

"When?" The unknown feeling was now taking over the happiness and excitement.

"Thursday...and I'm sorry, but, I don't know if you will be able to come back..." The Hokage looked for a reaction and found one, even though it was small. Katara was excellent at hiding emotions but this was a bit much.

Katara flinched."...but...that gives me only two days..." She started to recognise the emotion now.

"I'm sorry Katara. This is the only way to do this. I can't send you back another way."

"I...I understand. I shall say goodbye to everyone today." looking at the floor.

It was sadness. Something she hadn't felt for a long time. The only thing the people in the Leaf Village had taken away from her. It was back again, and it made her feel like crying, an emotion she hadn't shown since she was 8.

"See me before you guys leave. That's all."

back in the sand

Katara's POV

As I watched Shikamaru and Lee leave, my heart felt heavy. Why? Why did I have to leave my only friends in a Village probably too far to ever go to again. We all felt exhausted after the trip here. I needed more time.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder, but I didn't flick it away.

"Katara...I think I see them." I turned around to see the Kazekage looking at me with sad eyes. He pointed down the street, where a man and a girl were sitting at a table in a shop. They were smiling.

The man was tall, which was odd because I'm so short, with short spikey hair like Naruto's but it was jet black like mine. He had the normal Sand Jounin outfit on. The girl was almost a mirror image of me- except her hair was a little shorter, and tied into to ponytails at the back of her head and she had the same type of hair as that $$ Itachi in the front.

I nodded at the Kazekage. We shook hands.

"Until we meat again," I said close to crying. He nodded back at me and he turned around and walked away toward the Kazekage office building.

"...Garra."

T.T I'm so sad it's over!!!!! Oh well. I didn't put the goodbye's part because I didn't want to feel sadder than I already was. There's gunna be a sequel! Oooohhhh! I can just see it! Katara and her sis'...fighting side by side...
