Gaara sat at his desk, small lights illuminating the room. It was past 10 o'clock at night, a time where most people were going to sleep or already were asleep. Gaara should be doing the same thing, but he just couldn't bring himself to do so. Ever since Hana was admitted to the hospital 3 days ago, he hadn't any sleep. Consequently, the lack of sleep caused him to have a lack of concentration, preventing him from getting any of his work done. He just sat back in his chair with his eyes closed. He kept thinking about the promise he made with Hana the first day she was back in Suna.

FLASHBACK

"Gaara, I want you to promise me something," Hana said, sitting next to him. Gaara looked at her, raising an eyebrow.

"What kind of promise?" he asked, a little suspicious. Hana took his hand in hers, and looked up into his sea foam colored eyes.

"I want you to promise that no matter what happens to me, you'll put the village first." Gaara gave her a confused look.

"I promise," he said. Hana smiled.

"Alright but don't forget that you promised." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek before skipping off.

END OF FLASHBACK

Gaara's thoughts were interrupted by someone banging on his door and barging in. Gaara opened his eyes to see one of the medics standing in front of him.

"K-Kazekage-sama," he said, trying to catch his breath at the same time. "We have a problem." Gaara's heart began to sink. He nodded for the medic to continue, afraid of what he was about to hear. "We kind of had a problem with Hana."

"What happened?" he asked, his voice soft.

"She's gone sir." Gaara could hear his heart shatter into a million pieces. "I'm really sorry sir. None of us were expecting this to happen."

"How... exactly did this happen?" he asked, ignoring the lump in his throat. He could feel tears forming, but he didn't let them fall.

"We're not exactly sure. We were going to change out her I.V. Fluids, but she was gone."

"I want to see her," he said softly. The medic gave him a strange look, then suddenly realized he miscommunicated.

"My deepest apologies sir, but that's not what I meant. Hana isn't dead, or at least I don't think she is. She just disappeared from her room. We're looking everywhere for her." Gaara stared at the medic with frustration. He finally sighed and got up.

"I don't know how a person who has been in a coma for three days can just get up and walk away, but I think I might know where she is."

"Really?!" the medic asked in shock. Gaara nodded and walked out of his office with the medic. He turned the lights out before shutting the door and locking it for the night.

"Do you want her back in the hospital?" Gaara asked the medic. The medic shrugged.

"I would say to just use your best judgment," the medic told him. Gaara nodded and exited the building.

Gaara quietly opened his bedroom door and slipped inside. He smirked at what he saw. It was Hana curled up on his bed and probably fast asleep. Gaara only took one step towards the bed and Hana rolled over to face him. There was a small smile on her peaceful face.

"I was wondering when you were going to get here," she said softly, her eyes glistening playfully. Gaara walked over to his bed and sat down beside her.

"Why do you always have to be so troublesome?" he asked, petting her head. He jumped when he felt something pinch him in the side. He glared at Hana who was looking up at him with big, innocent, blue eyes. He sighed, shaking his head in disappointment. "Those eyes really get on my nerves sometimes," he said with a smirk. Hana blinked at him and smiled.

Suddenly, Hana grabbed him by his clothing and pulled him down so that he was laying across the bed.

"Be my pillow Gaara-kun," she mumbled sleepily. He sighed, but nodded at her. He scooted farther onto the bed, letting Hana lay her head on his chest. Hana quickly fell asleep, relaxing from the sound of his heartbeat. Gaara's eyelids became heavy as well and it wasn't long until he fell asleep as well.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Did I scare you for a moment? Mwa-ha-ha-ha! I scared the crap out of my dear friend with this. I'd like to thank my poor friend Sashia for reading my story and giving me little tid-bits to make it a bit better, even though I scared her. Lol. Just for a future warning, in a couple of chapters, there will be a bit of a time skip. Just so that you all know what to expect for the future.
