All well, enjoy ^^

Six years passed since he met her, six years since she became his first friend and six years that they never saw each other again, after the visit to Suna, Gaara never saw Ana again. He knew that she was in Konoha but still, the feeling of being alone still hurt his heart but he had hope that one day Ana will come to him. Sadly the night he made his first friend, Yashamaru, the only person who he thought loved him betrayed him while trying to kill him in revenge for the death of his sister, Gaara's mother. Before killing himself, Yashamaru told him to love only himself, care for no one's existence but his own and that he was all that mattered.

And then, he was gone.

The shock of the event made little Gaara's heart shatter and then he made his sand carve the kanji of 'love' on his forehead .The once kind little boy became a feared person almost like a demon.

The twelve year old Suna genin was waiting for his older siblings at the border of Suna, they were going to Konoha for the chunin exams but the going was a plan to destroy the village hidden in the leaves and Gaara was going to single handedly destroy it and all who lived there.

Meanwhile in Konoha the sun rose from its night of rest, the rays peered through a window of a very nice house and began to shine upon three sleeping figures in a large bed. Of the three only one woke up, she sat up and stretched her arms with a big yawn that escaped her mouth. Looking at the other two she mumbled about how lazy they could be, not wanting wake up.

"These two, "She said to herself.

Twelve year old Ana Uchiha was the youngest twin by an hour; she was a surprise for her parents because they were only prepared for one child, her brother Sasuke. She grew those six years since she met the boy from Suna. Her child face was exchanged for a face of a young lady despite still being a child, her hair grew until it reached her knees and recently when she and Sasuke were turning ten, her chest started developing.

After her visit, Ana wanted to write back to Gaara as soon as possible but when she sent her first letter it came back unopened two weeks later, it broke her heart and she tried sending more but it was the same result.

Then a year later, members of the Uchiha clan were slaughtered by her older brother Itachi, she couldn't go to the academy because she was sick that day. It all happened so fast, when Itachi advanced towards her, Ana closed her eyes waiting to die. But instead she was picked up and placed in a underneath the floorboards with the then two year old Ayaka by the time she was found by Jonin, she, Sasuke and Ayaka were the only survivors of their clan. Ever since then Sasuke became cold and resentful and Ana tried once more to contact her friend only to have the letter sent back unopened once again so she just gave up but could never forget the boy with red hair and black rimmed teal eyes.

Ana got out of bed and pulled the covers of her siblings, Sasuke was asleep on his back with an arm draped across his stomach while Ayaka was squirming and mumbling in her sleep right in the middle of the bed.

Smoothing her bed head she spoke, "Wake up you two it's morning."

Sasuke groaned and woke up with irritation written in his face, "This early sis?"

"Don't look at me like that brother, Kakashi-sensei told us to meet at the bridge before noon," She said with the same irritated look she then looked at the youngest, "Wake her up please, I don't feel like getting scolded by Iruka-sensei because Aya-chan was late again."

Sasuke rolled his eyes as Ana left the room to make a quick breakfast, the mother hen she did almost everything their mother used to do. He got out of bed and shook Ayaka's shoulder.

"Wake up Aya-chan, it's time for another day at the academy," He said gently, totally out of character for him but it was only with his sisters did Sasuke ever show any signs of the boy he used to be.

Ayaka groaned and sat up rubbing her eyes, "Big brother why does Big sister wake us up so early?"

Sasuke grabbed his ninja outfit and went to the bathroom, "Because that's sis Aya-chan."

The little seven year old shrugged and stumbled out of bed and grabbed her set of clothes, the usual black long sleeved shirt and white shorts. Ayaka slipped out of her pajama set and threw on her clothes, she was currently standing in front of a full length mirror brushing her shoulder length hair when Ana came in already dressed in her dark blue zip up shirt and a white skirt with yoga shorts underneath. Ayaka frowned when she saw that she was wearing her wrist gloves and Konoha leaf headband that was wrapped around her head.

"That's why you woke us up early," She said as Ana took the role of brushing her sister's hair.

Knowing that her little sister hated the fact that her older siblings were always going to be away because they were now shinobi, Ana had to reason with her, "Gotta endure it kiddo."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know Big sister," Ayaka said with a smile.

After fixing her sisters hair on a loose ponytail Ana led her sister to the kitchen, since she and Sasuke had to leave early there were three rice balls on the table, Sasuke was already dressed and eating his quick breakfast while Ana looked at the clock, it was time to go.

"Alright Aya-chan it's time for you to go," She said handing a bento and rice ball to her sisters hands, "Don't be late."

Ayaka ran to the door, "Bye guys."

As she left the twins grabbed their ninja gear and went off to meet with their team mates, Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno. Even though it was supposed to be a three man squad because that Sasuke and Ana were twins and could not be separated for many reason only the third knew it was decided that they would be put in a squad together. They reached the bridge before anyone else and waited for their sensei, they waited and waited until Sakura came running greeting them, though it was directed only to Sasuke. Then Naruto showed up greeting Sakura but was ignored he then greeted his childhood friend Ana who greeted back and they continued to wait.

And wait and wait.

"Hello everyone sorry I'm late," Said a very laid back man who stood on an arch," I got lost on the path of life."

"LIAR!" Both Naruto and Sakura yelled.

The twins just looked at Kakashi and looked at each other with annoyed glances.

'And you said we had to be here early sis.'

'Shut up brother.'

After everything was settled squad seven began their D-rank missions, walking dogs, gardening and trash pickup all ended well, except that Naruto was almost blown to bit, beaten up by the lady who owned the garden they were tending and he fell and was swept to a waterfall luckily Sasuke saved him.

"Honestly Naru you need to be more careful," Ana said as she walked beside Sasuke who was carrying a limp Naruto.

Sasuke smirked, "Heh forget it sis, this idiot doesn't know careful if it was right next to him."

Naruto growled, "Shut up Teme."

Ana giggled at the response.

"It's true Ana, Naruto doesn't know careful just like what Sasuke said," Sakura replied who was also carrying Naruto.

"No one told you to but in our conversation," Ana said coldly, "And besides, Naruto is making more progress than you. Staring at my brother throughout all of the missions, I'm surprised the dog you were walking is still alive."

"I agree with sis on that," Sasuke replied breaking Sakura's heart.

And to make the next chapter from scratch!
