Gaara was released from the hospital the next morning. The first thing he did was pay a visit to the Hokage so that they could get down to business. Once the original business was taken care of, the Hokage brought up a new order of business.

"Kazekage-sama, there is something else I would like to ask of you," Tsunade said with a sly smile. Gaara sighed, not wanting to do anymore paper work, but he nodded for her to continue. "How would you like to have a new personal assistant slash interrogator?" Gaara looked at her in confusion.

"We have several shinobi in our village that would make fairly good interrogators," Gaara grumbled. "We don't need any more charity." Tsunade frowned at him and shook her head.

"It's not charity. One of our shinobi requested to be transferred to Sunagakure, and has been requesting it for some time now." Gaara's heart began to race hoping that she was talking about the person he was thinking about. Tsunade smirked at him and chuckled. "Now that you are here, we can actually make it happen."

"Who exactly are you talking about?" Gaara asked, doing his best to keep a straight face. Tsunade looked at him as if he were hopeless, seeing hope in his eyes.

"Who do you think?! It's Hana of course!" Gaara looked at her with a blank expression on his face. Gaara was silent for a moment, not moving a muscle. Finally he nodded.

"What kind of compromise do you propose we do?" he asked, his voice showing no emotion. Tsunade chuckled and took out a manila folder, sliding it across the table. Gaara looked at it, grumbling to himself.

"Just what I need," he muttered, "More paperwork. That girl owes me big time now."

Tsunade scoffed at him.

"You fuss too much Kazekage-sama," Tsunade sighed.

Gaara was exhausted by the end of the day. He hadn't fully recovered from the day before, and negotiating was so troublesome. The sun was beginning to set of the village and Gaara was safely back in his hotel room. He was just about to collapse on the bed when he heard a knock on the door. He sighed in aggravation, but went to answer the door anyway. He was glad to see Hana standing in his door way.

Hana looked Gaara up and down before giggling at him.

"What's so funny?" he asked, glaring at her. She smiled innocently at him.

"It's nothing really," she told him. "It's just seeing you all bandaged up like this is something I wouldn't have expected to see."

"What do you have there?" Gaara asked, looking directly at the small paper bag in her hands.

"It's healing ointment. Hokage-sama wanted me to bring you some and make sure that you cleaned your wounds properly. She also gave me some painkillers that she wants you to take." Gaara nodded and stepped aside, letting Hana come in. Hana set the bag on his dresser and took out a small bottle of pills. She opened the bottle and gave him one of the pills inside. Gaara popped the pill in his mouth and swallowed before he sat down on his bed.

"Would you like me to clean your wounds for you, since you only have one arm?" Gaara rolled his eyes at her, but nodded, knowing that he wouldn't be very successful with only one good arm. Hana helped Gaara get his shirt off without hurting his already injured arm. She then removed his bandages and applied the medication to his wounds, and finished off with re-bandaging them.

"I see that you still have the necklace I gave you," Hana said softly as she was putting all the supplies away. Gaara fingered the crystal that was dangling from the chain around his neck.

"Why wouldn't I still have it?" he asked, his face expressionless. Hana didn't answer. She just continued putting the supplies away. She got up and put the bag back on his dresser. Hana turned away from Gaara and started to walk away. She stopped when someone grabbed her wrist, spinning her around.

Hana was shocked for a moment when she felt Gaara press his lips against hers, but it quickly passed. She closed her eyes, melting beneath his kiss. Neither one of them wanted to break it, the wonderful feeling they were feeling. Eventually, Gaara pulled away but pulled Hana in close to him. Hana wrapped her arms around his waist, letting him run his fingers through her long hair.

"I missed you so much," she whispered, squeezing him a little tighter.

"I missed you too," Gaara replied softly, "Which is why you're coming back with me." Hana smiled squeezing him even tighter still. Gaara grimaced in pain and Hana instantly loosened her grip on him.

"Sorry," she apologized. Gaara nodded and kissed her forehead.

I am really sorry about taking so long to update. I kind of had writer's block for awhile and was working at my summer job, and now school started up again. Finally I was able to get this chapter up and hopefully I'll be able to get the fourth chapter up soon also.

What do you think will happen between Hana and Gaara? Let me know. I'd love some suggestions, or what you want to see happen. Please Review! I'll take all the constructive criticism i can get. The more reviews I get, the more motivated I am to get the next chapter up and the easier it is to get past stupid writer's blocks. So PLEASE REVIEW! Love you all!
