Soma walked out of the abandoned studio, her two books in her arms. Her song book, with all her lyrics and what not, on top of her journal… or diary. She whistled one of her songs as she walked, happy that her wrist didn't hurt anymore, but confused to why Katara had tried to snap it in the first place.
She turned down an alley way and froze. Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were there… but so was a strange girl and boy. The boy was wearing a kind of black jump suit… and was bullying one of the little kids there. She walked past Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke, dropping her books on the ground. "You bully!" she snarled, punching the boy hard in the face.
Sasuke grabbed her, pulling her back, "idiot… we have this under control," he hissed in her ear. "I don't care… and don't call me an idiot," she said, freeing herself from him. She turned on the boy again, who had just recovered from her punch. "What the hell?" he said in surprise, looking at her. Soma glared at him, "you scum! You coward! you… you… GAH!" she exclaimed, punching him again.
Kankuro dodged her, returning her glare, "you've got a problem?" he asked, taking his fighting stance. "Yeah… and it's standing in front of me," Soma retorted. "Soma?" Sakura said, not use to seeing Soma like this, especially with strangers. She bent down and picked up Soma's fallen books, wanting to stay out of this fight.
"Kankuro," a cold voice said, seeming to come from above them. Soma looked up, seeing a boy with red hair standing upside down in the tree. "Let's go," the boy said darkly. "Wait… what's your name?" Sasuke asked, stepping a little in front of Soma. "Gaara," the boy answered, coldly. Soma's eyes widened, 'Gaara…' she thought, 'so he is a real person.' Gaara turned to Sasuke, "I'm curious about your name too." "Sasuke," he replied.
Not thinking Soma took a step forward, "wait," she said. Gaara looked back at her coldly, "what?" he asked. Soma walked closer to him. "What do you want?" he asked again, getting confused by her actions. Soma seemed to lose her voice for the first time; she didn't understand what she was doing either. Without warning, she tripped, landing face down right in front of him.
'Well this is embarrassing,' Soma thought, picking herself up and brushing herself off. Sakura giggled slightly, 'that's our Soma,' she thought. Gaara glared at her, "if you come any closer I'll kill you," he spat. Soma froze, 'maybe he's not the one from my dream,' she thought. "Fair enough," she said, finding her voice. She turned and walked away, after getting her books from Sakura.
