A/N Thanks for the comments

GaaraRules29- Thanks for the pairing ideas, I'm even going to use some of them. ^-^ I really like the idea for OC/Gaara because I love Gaara, he's one of my top favs with Shikamaru, Choji, Naruto, and Lee. I also like others but I'm not going to say which (hehe) because I want them to be a surprise.

This chapter is going to be a flashback chapter so that you can see how Gaara and Sora met each other so don't freak out or anything, just give it a chance. ^-^

Sorry about this chapter being late. My mom made me build her a patio (and I'm talken about the block patio where I had to dig up the grass, lay down new dirt, lay the blocks down (99 of them, 42 pounds each), then sand blast them). I will tell you right now that it's hard as fuck and that I'm never doing it again. It took me 6 days (7 hours each day) by myself with a small ass shovel to dig up the grass. Oh and on the third day at dinner my mom's boyfriend asked me in a rude ass voice what was taking me so long. I'll tell straight up I hate his guts and it took even fiber of my being not to shove my fork into his hand that he had on the table. My back, arm, hands, and legs are still killing me. I mean for fuck sake I'm a 17 girl and I still have to go to school and do homework do you think they could give me a hand, FUCK NO, lazy asses. I have so many blisters on my hands that it hurts to bent them in any way, I feel like crying as I'm typing this.

Chapter 4

(Flashback) (Sora's is 8 and Naruto is 6)

"You want me to help you Ojii?" Sora asked as she repeated what the Hokage said.

"Yes, and it is a very important request! I need you to baby-sit the Kazekage's youngest son, Gaara, for me while we are in a important meeting" he told her as he took his pipe out of his mouth. Sora's mouth was hanging open at his request.

"But shouldn't someone else do it, like a Jounin? I can't protect him!" she asked and told him at the same time, very confused. He smile at her and chuckled.

"There will be Anbu around the room protecting him but I would like you to play with him. I have heard that he has trouble with other children and seeing how you handle Naruto I thought you were the best for this job" he told her as he turned to look out the window, though watching her out of the corner of his eye.

"Alright I'll play with him that doesn't seem to hard... So when are they coming here?" she asked now filled with more confidence.

"They are already in the village, and are on their way here" he said with a slightly grim face.

"WHAT? And your just now asking me!" she yelled at him frustrated at him. She tilted her head up and looked at the ceiling thinking about the request and how she would get through to the boy. She sighed and looked back at Hokage. "How old is he?"

"6, the same age as Naruto."

"Fine, but I'm going to need some thing from my house" she told him with a determined voice. The Hokage nodded for her to continue, but also signaled for and Anbu. "I'm going to need the black bear that's in my room." The Anbu nodded and shuhined away.

"Alright now that, that is taken care of why don't you have a seat and we'll wait for them" he told her as he motioned to the chair next to the wall by his desk. She nodded and went to sit down. After she sat down the Anbu appeared and handed her the bear, then went to work putting two chairs in front of the Hokages desk. As she looked at the bear in her hands she smiled at it. It was an old bear with worn patches of fur and she had lost the red ribbon that was suppose to go around his neck, but she still loved it.

As she was looking over the bear there was a nock at the door. The Anbu from before opened the door and a tall man walked into the room followed by a young boy with messy bright red hair holding a brown bear. Sora smiled at the fact that he two had a bear.

"Ah Its good to see you again Kazekage" the Hokage said as he stood from his chair. The Kazekage nodded toward him in response. "Well have a seat." The Kazekage and Hokage sat down in silence before the Kazekage noticed the Sora was in the room.

"Why is there a child here?" he asked eritated.

"Of yes I forgot I have asked Sora-chan to play with your son while we are in our meeting" Sarutobi told him with a smile. Sora stood up at the mention of her name.

"I dont think that is wise. My son doesnt like other children" The Kazekage said in a stern voice, becoming suspicious of the child.

"I think it'll be fine, Sora is a great child and is good with children that have issues making friends" Sarutobi told him. Sora looked at Gaara the hole time their were talking. She was getting bord of them so she just walked over to Gaara seeing that he had not sat down next to his father. She stopped in front of him.

"Hello I'm Sora what's your name" she said as she held out her hand to him. She saw something move before her hand was smacked away from him by sand, and she was scratched in the process.

If you couldn't feel the tension in the room before it was obvious now. Sora looked down at her scratched hand seeing it was red and stung a bit. Then looked up at Gaara, she could see in his eyes the fear and loneliness that she once saw in her brothers. So she smiled at him.

"Thats pretty cool sand, do you control it? I wish I could do that I could make the best sand castle ever. Do you ever make them with it?" she asked him never losing her smile. The Kazekage looked at her with suspicions as Gaara looked at her with worry.

"Sora are you alright?" Sarutobi asked worried that the boy had hurt her, but she turned to face him with a smile.

"I'm fine it doesn't even hurt, see" she said as she squeezed open and shut her hand, but for a split second her face changed to one that was in pain before she was smiling again. Everyone notice except Gaara because she had her back to him.

"May I ask who exactly this girl is?" the Kazekage asked Sarutobi.

"As I said before this is Sora. She is from one of the smaller clans of the village" Sarutobi said once again facing the Kazekage.

"And which clan is that?" he asked a little uneasy at the mention on the child being a clan child.

"The Uzumaki Clan. It once held a great deal of clansman but during the Third shinboi War most of the clan was killed off. Now there are only few members left" Sarutobi told him (lying through his teeth because Sora wasn't a real Uzumaki but it helped his story because she had red hair a 8). "The clan has always been good with children and Sora, the clans heiress, is by far the best with children." The Kazekage relaxed at the mention of the clan name (but didn't show it), knowing that it was true most 98% of the clan was wiped out during the war, but knowing the child was a clan heir took precaution. "Sora why don't you two go play in the next room."

"Alright, come on I know we are going to have a great time" she told him before she started to walk toward the side door in the office. She stopped half way and looked at Gaara, he was standing in the same spot, so she went back to him. "Do you want to hold my hand while we walk?" He shook his head. "Okay. Do you want to hold Mr. Bears hand with me as we walk?" Gaara looked down to the bear she held out to him. "But if you do you have to be careful because he's one of my best friends." Gaara nodded to her as she gave him one of the bear's paws to hold as she held the other. "Alight let's go." This time Gaara followed her.

Sora lead Gaara out of the Hokages office and into the adjoining room. He looked over at her when he thought she was not looking but she noticed.

"Okay we can play in here without bothering anyone... I never got your name" she told him even though she already knew it.

"Subaku no Gaara" he told her in a small voice. She smiled at him for talking to her for the first time.

"Well Gaara-kun what do you want to play? We can play ball, though I think we should go outside for that. Or we could play with your sand? Or we could even play with Mr. Bear" she told him the different things that came to her mind. She waited for him to pick something to do.

"You really want to play with me?" he asked her in shock, because for the first time in his life someone wanted to play with him. She smiled at him with a now sad smile realizing that he truly didn't have any friends.

"Yes I want to play with you, silly. Why would I ask if I didn't?" she asked him not really expecting an answer. "So what do you want to play?" He didn't answer right away but looked down at his bear. "Do you want to play with our bears together?"

"What?" he asked her confused at her sudden question.

"Well you have a bear and I have a bear so we can both play with a bear but do it together so its more fun" she told him sounding excited, but her smile faltered for a second as Gaara brought his bear to his chest, as if to protect it. "We don't have to if you don't want to I just thought it would be nice if Mr. Bear had someone to play with." She tried to calm his fears by telling him this, and it seemed to work as him hold on the bear loosened, before he nodded.

So Sora sat on the ground and started to play with her bear, having it walk around and do things waiting for Gaara to sit down and join her. She didn't want to force him to do anything he didn't want to. Gaara eventually sat down next to her and started to play. She waited a few minutes before she had her bear interact with his.

She had her bear walk up to his and held out his paw (as if he was trying to shake hands) and waited Gaara slowly brought his bear's paw up to meet hers and they shook. Sora looked at their bears shaking and decided to take it up a notch. She had her bear hug Gaara's (she rapped her bears paws around Gaara's bear's neck). Gaara froze at the action and his sand rustled around them so she let go of Gaara's bear and had her bear bounce with joy to show it was happy to have hugged the other bear. The sand slowly settled down.

"Mr. Bear is really happy that he gets to play with your bear Gaara-kun" said Sora as she has her bear play around his. Sora and Gaara played for a while after that.

After about an hour Sarutobi and the Kazekage came into the room. Sarutobi was smiling at them and the Kazekage looked alittle mifted but Sora assumed that it was him everyday face.

"Its time to go" the Kazekage said to Gaara. Gaara stood up and was about to walk over to his father when Sora jumped up after him.

"Wait Gaara... I want you to take Mr. Bear with you as a gift from me, because he had so much fun playing with you I think he would be lonely without you and your bear" she told him with a smile as she held out the bear to him. "Just promise you'll take care of him for me, he's very important to me." Gaara looked shocked at what she was saying to him but still took the bear from her. He looked between the bears in his hands and her then nodded to her. She gave him a big smile and said, "Thanks and I hope we can play again when you come back!" He nodded again then went to stand by his father waiting for instructions.

"Lets go" the Kazekage said as he turned to leave with Gaara following him. Though when they got to the door Gaara looked back at Sora. She smiled and waved at him, while he looked suprised but then lifted up his bear's paw and waved it before leaving the room.

The room became quite as she and Sarutobi watched the door close.

"So did I do good?" she asked a little shy.

"Yes you did fine. Everything worked out in the meeting as well... You might want to get back to Naruto-kun before he gets upset. Oh and I'll have you money you earned for this delivered to you today" he told her. She nodded to him before making her way to the door herself.

"Okay see you around Ojii" she told him as she left the room heading to her apartment to tell Naruto all about her play time with Gaara.

As the years went on Gaara did come back with his father along with him siblings, and Sora played with them evey time. Though slowly they stopped coming to the Leaf Village and Sora didnt see Gaara or his sibling for years. Sora did write them letters every month to tell them all about her adventers with he little brother and his friends (well Sasuke hated Naruto but was still her friend, and Hinata had a crush on Naruto so she would always faint when Naruto got to close to her, which made Sora laugh even though Naruto didnt know why).

A/N Sorry if you dont like that Gaara acts differently then in canon. If you have any comments on it or anything else in the story just let me know.

Sorry about the rant at the beginning of the chapter I was just really made
