Gaara looked at Moeka, a little shocked by her question.

"That was really random," he commented, looking at the girl sitting across the table.

"I'm sorry," she apologized, "I just want to know about her. She's my mother after all." Gaara looked at his daughter with gentle eyes. He sighed and nodded.

"You're right," he told her, "You deserve to know." Moeka just looked up at him with her teal eyes. He sighed and continued on. "You are so much like her."

"Really?" Moeka asked, giggling and blushing. Gaara smiled and nodded.

"The resemblance is quite amazing. She was a very kind person, and very ambitious. She never judged anyone before getting to know him or her first."

"I wish I could have met her," Moeka sighed, looking down at the ground. Gaara frowned.

"I do too," he replied softly.

"When did you meet her?" Moeka asked, looking up at him with a grin.

"She found me unconscious on a trail in the woods," Gaara answered with a smirk. Moeka giggled. "We ended up doing a couple ninja missions together and got to know each other."

"Did you like her?"

"At first…. no." Moeka frowned. "We were two very different people. At the time, I was still coping with my hurt emotions. She was always smiling, and I was always frowning. She kind of got on my nerves. Still, she was determined to be my friend."

"I'm glad she did."

"Me too," Gaara replied. "She became my first true friend." Moeka smiled and took another sip of her hot chocolate.

"Do you think she would be proud of me?" she asked. Gaara smirked at her and nodded.

"Why wouldn't she be? I know I am." Moeka blushed and hid her face, making Gaara chuckle at how timid she was. "I was going to wait until your birthday, but I think now is as good a time as ever." Moeka looked up to him and gave him a confused look.

"What are you talking about?" she asked. Gaara smirked.

"First, you have to close your eyes." Moeka smiled shut her eyes tightly. Gaara got up from his chair and walked over to where Moeka was sitting. He then took off the silver chain that he wore around his neck and let the blue crystal dangle. He reached around Moeka's neck and hooked the chain in place. As he pulled away, he planted a kiss on Moeka's forehead.

"You can open your eyes now," he told her. Moeka quickly opened her eyes and looked down and the crystal hanging from her neck. Her eyes were big with happiness.

"It's so pretty!" she exclaimed, touching it with her fingers. Gaara smiled, and nodded.

"It was your mother's," he told her softly. She looked at him with shock. "She gave it to me when we were kids. It's very special to me, as are you. I think that it is only right that I gave it to you.

Moeka smiled, her eyes brimming with tears. She hopped down from her chair and threw her arms around her father. Gaara smiled and lifted her up in his arms. Moeka wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face into his shoulder.

"I love you father," Moeka told him, her voice muffled since her face was buried in his clothes.

"I love you too Moeka," Gaara replied, holding her tightly in his arms.
