Hey. I'm sorry I haven't updated. I've been working. Not to mention my stories have been irritating me.

Garra- You sound kinda sad.

K/Me- I feel kinda sad.

Gaara- Why?

K- I dunno. Anyway... I don't own Naruto. Just a heads up. It's starting out in Gaara's point of view.

He heard Mika scream. At least, he was pretty sure it was Mika. He quickly ran toward the voice.

"What is it Gaara?" Temari asked but he didn't bother answering. He finds her but when he does, he can't believe what he's seeing. He had found her alright but she was attacking a child.

"Sand Coffin!" Immediately the sand surrounded her, preventing her from harming the child. The child now noting them became frightened and ran off.

Mika, now covered in sand began snarling and hissing in rage. He looked at her shocked. "What has happened to her?"

"Let go of me fool!"

Her voice was different. It didn't even sound like her. He turned to Temari. "We need to bring her to a medic. Something is wrong with her." She nodded.

As Gaara began to walk he could feel a strain on the sand. She was struggling. By the feel of it, she was struggling a lot. He covered her face with the sand. After a minute he could feel her heart slow down. She had passed out. He uncovered her face, not wanting to hurt her.

Mika's point of view.

She opened her eyes. She was lying on her back in an uncomfortable bed. She began to lift her arms, but found that they were strapped down. Plus it was far too dark to see. She pulled on the straps using the bears power but it was useless. Her only choice was to call out.

"Hello? Anyone here?" The lights flickered on. Around her, stood four people wearing animal masks. She had heard something like this. They were supposedly called ANBU. They were elite ninja that were assigned to protect the village. What the heck to they want with me?

"Um... Hi. Can you please let me out of here?" One with a pig mask stepped forward.

"Do you know why you are here?"

"Umm... Not really..."

"You're here because you nearly attacked an innocent villager. A child no less."

She remembered the snake. Her eyes widened.

"How could I have lost control so easily? Kaya?"

"Yes Mika."

"Is it under control now?"

"Yes it is. You will be able to control it for the most part from now on, but don't let your emotions run too wild. He might try and use it to gain control again."

"Thanks Kaya." She sighed in relief. Then looked at the ANBU with the dog mask. He seemed like he was in charge.

"Please let me out. I swear that what happened wasn't my fault. I kinda wasn't in control of myself."

"Well how do we know that it won't happen again?"

"Well you see, due to my special justu I can take in the power of spirit animals. I was going to train when I got attacked. There was this really strange guy who attacked me. He gave me another spirit animal but this one took over. He had given me a snake. Now that I think of it the guy actually looked like a snake himself. His skin was super pale and his eyes were pretty much gold. He had little slits for pupils too. He was really odd looking."

Mika heard one of the Anbu hiss the name Orochimaru.

"Is that his name? Well, at least I know who attacked me?"

The ANBU stood in what seemed like thought. Mika couldn't tell due to the fact that their faces were hidden.

"So are you going to let me out?" She said hopefully. After a minute pause the dog masked ANBU answers.

"Yes. But due to the fact that we are unsure of your power, and the fact that you are now involved with Orochimaru we need to take precautionary measures."

"Precautionary measures?" she questioned.

"You are to be followed by a single ANBU at all times. Is that understood?"

Mika rolled her eyes. This was going to be so irritating. "Sure. I got it."

The ANBU did a few hand signs and the straps on her wrists released. She rubbed them in irritation. The straps had left a mark. She then stood up and stretched.

"Ok. Now what?" An ANBU with a bird like mask handed her a blind fold. "Oh come on! You've got to be kidding me." He stood and watched her for a few moments. "Fine." She looked around the room. It was a concrete room without any windows. Most likely an interrogation room used for criminals. Nothing special. She put the blindfold on and felt herself being led. She walked for about five minutes and then felt the coolness of fresh air. She must be outside now. After walking for a bit longer she felt the blindfold being removed. It was nighttime and she was inside of the village. Three of the ANBU left. This one was wearing an odd mask. She wasn't exactly sure what it was.

She began walking toward Chiyo's house. She thought about what had happened the prior day, but there was still one thing she couldn't remember. She turned to the ANBU. "Um. sir?" She asked not knowing how else to address him. He looked at her. "Um, about yesterday. When I lost control. They had said that I had attacked a child. What happened? How was I stopped?"

"Sabaku no Gaara. He protected the child and brought you safely to us."

"Gaara?" She questioned happily. He actually does care. "Do you know where he is right now?"

"Perhaps he is at the hotel with his siblings."

"Ok. Let's go!" She took off in the direction of the hotel. Jumping from building to building,she arrived there in no time. Sadly she found that they weren't there. She sighed miserably.

"They probably left. I'll never be able to thank him. I'll never know if I actually made a difference." She sat on the roof and let tears drip down her face.

The ANBU, who was still following just watched from a short distance away, unsure what do do with the now crying Mika.

Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Acting on instinct she swung her arm using the bear's power.

Her arm collided with sand.

"Gaara!" She exclaimed happily tackling him in a hug. His sand didn't even attempt to block it. After pulling out of the hug she looked at him sadly. "So, That's how it feels to have something evil in you?" She asked quietly.

He looks at her. His sea foam green eyes staring into her green ones. He smiled slightly. It was barely noticeable but she saw it. "Something like that." She smiled and hugged him again. She stopped only to look into his eyes again. They were so captivating. She felt like saying so but suddenly felt rather shy. (A/n awww... puppy love.) She had almost worked up the courage to say so when without warning Kaya pushed her face forward so that her lips were touching his. Her eyes widened and she jumped back. She was blushing furiously.

"Damn you Kaya! Why the hell did you do that?" Kaya simply giggled. A confused look crossed Gaara's face.

"Ohmygod. Iamsosorry. Kayajust..." She was speaking so fast it was barely understandable.

"It's alright." He said cutting her off. Then he leaned over and kissed her lightly on the cheek before blushing and looking away. She blushed even more. Then she remembered that the ANBU was still with her. She turned to find that he was on the next building facing in the opposite direction. She giggled and turned back to Gaara.

He looked back at her. "Is this what love feels like?"

"Yes." She said smiling softly. Then, without Kaya's help she hesitantly placed her lips softly against his. He returned the kiss and for about ten seconds they kissed each other. It was gentle and sweet, but filled with so much emotion that it was absolutely incredible. After, she immediately hugged him again.

(A/N Just for the record they were not making out or doing any sort of crazy kissing. The kiss was an innocent kiss a way of expressing emotion. They are way to young to be seriously kissing)

"Thanks for stopping me Gaara." she whispered softly.

He smiled. "Thanks for giving me a reason to stop you. A reason to do what was right." He hugged her back causing her to blush.

She grinned. "I'm going home. Chiyo is probably worried about me. Thank you so much. Goodbye Gaara.Or should I say Panda-kun." She giggled then she yelled to the ANBU which looked at her. "It's time to go home." He nodded and she began to slowly walk home with him following.

Gaara's point of view.

He smiled and walked into his hotel room. There was still a large blush on his face. Both Temari and Kankuro were there. They both looked at him.

"Hey Gaara. Are you feeling alright? Your face is all red." He nodded at his sister and walked over to his bed. He really didn't need one but still. Sitting down he smiled. "So this is love..."

"Hey Gaara. You sure you're ok?" It was Kankuro speaking this time. He ignored him and continued to think about Mika. "Hey Gaara!" He says loudly, trying to get his attention. He gave Kankuro a death glare.

"What is it?"

"I just wanted to know if you were alright..." His voice was quiet.

"Yeah... I'm fine..." he said, a smile forming on his face.

Mika's point of view.

She had that odd dream again. The one about the sandstorm. Only this time, instead of a monster in the storm she saw the smiling face of Gaara. She had woke up smiling. She was still smiling when she looked out the window to find that there was a different ANBU then the night before. "The night before..." Her smile grew and she got dressed and got ready for the day.

I think I'm going to leave it off here. It's rather late and I want to go to bed. Once again a big thanks to Sukiraofthelight for reviewing. I would also like to say that I'm not sure whether or not I should continue with my other story, To Kill An Avenger. I've actually gotten a review for it but I'm not really sure if anyone likes it. It was more of a suggestion than an opinion. Please review.
