My brother was away for the night, leaving me alone in the hotel. He said he had to take care of a few things. This was the perfect opportunity to go into the village and look around a bit.

I took a bit of money and the spare key that my brother left for me. He said it was for emergencys, but i thought it would be good to take it with me know.
I locked the door and left the hotel.

The village was made of sand, at least it looked like it was made out of sand. It was very hot outside, but thats normal for the dessert.
There weren't allot of people outside, so i decided to walk around a bit more.

I swept my tail from left to right, I was so excited to finally go around the village. The last two years i wasn't able t go outside much, because my brother said that it would be dangerous. He told me that there are many people who do know that were demons. They would hunt us down and kill us.

I walked around some more until i came at a huge building in the middel of the city. I reconized it as the Kazekage building.
The Kazekage was the best ninja of the whole village and everyone looked up to him, it was the same as the Hokage.

I haven't met the Kazekage yet.
When we came into the village, he was gone and we had to state our purpose to someone else.
I bet it's a really old and wise man, just like the Hokage.

The door of the KazeKage building openend and a redhead and a guy with cat ears left the building.
They stopped and started to argument about something.
This would be a good moment to ask who the Kazekage was, i was really curious.

"Good day, gentleman." I greeted, smiling.

They turned their head to me and al three of our eyes widenend.

"G-Gaara?" I breathed out.

"AZAMI!" Gaara said with his mout slightly open.

Gaara and the kitty guy had changed. They were more manly now and Gaara looked in one word : HOT! I couldn't help but blush a bit. His eyes had changed, they were more friendly now.

"Were have you been all this time?" Gaara asked.

"With my brother. I left the morning after...t-that night." I blushed even more.

Gaara noticed my uneasiness and smiled. "Want to drink something in my office?"

"Y-Your office?" I tilted my head.

Was he working in a office now? I thought he was a ninja... Or...

"I'm Kazekage now." He smiled.

"Woah! Oh i'm sorry for my rudeness." I bowed. "I would love to eat something with you, my lord."

Gaara chuckled. He didn't like the formalities, but he found it pretty funny how i acted.

"Just call me Gaara, no need for formalities." He said and he chuckled.

I felt stupid, but i didn't knew how to act in front of him. We both changed and i wasn't sure if he still felt the same about me.

He gestured me to follow him and i did. He led me through the Kazekage building and told me about the change he went through. He also told me that it was because of Naruto.
I should have known that Naruto had such a influence on people.
I missed Konohana with all my heart.

"Are you still listening, Azami?" Gaara asked worried.

"Oh. I must have dozed of. I'm sorry." I bit my lip and hoped he wouldn't be mad.

Gaara smiled. "It's okay, i understand that there's a lot on your mind."

We were in lounging room right now and i took a seat on one of the very comfortable couches.
The room smelled like oranges and frankincense, it made me feel very relaxed.
I closed my eyes and breathed in the scent. There was also a scent of cinnamon.

I openend my eyes to see Gaara looking at me. When i looked back at him he blushed a bit.

"Y-You have become even prettier, Azami." He said, almost whispering.

This made me blush aswell. Gaara may have been an old crush of mine but i still held te same feelings for him. He was even more handsome now and his eyes were even more lively.

"I think you look very handsome aswell." I giggled nervously.

There was a silence for a few seconds, cause both of us didn't knew what to say.
Gaara was staring at the ground, his cheeks a bit red.

"So, how is it like to be the KazeKage?" I asked, trying to break the silence.

"It's allot of work, but its never boring." Gaara replied, while he stood up.

"You wan't something to drink?" He asked.

I nodded and he walked over to a large bar. He must have everything he wished for over here. I bet he even had a girlfriend. I felt a wave of sadness. Well i couldn't expect him to wait for me.

Gaara came back with some Lemonade and gave it to me.
I suddenly realized how thirsty i was and drank it up in no time.

Gaara chuckled. My eyes shot up to look at him.

"So your staying with your brother here for a few days?" He asked.

I told him about me and my brother and what had happend the past few years. He didn't react weird at all. As if it was the most normal thing on the earth.
I mean i'm a demon, come on!

I suddenly became aware that my brother must be home by now.
He would get realy mad if i was late.

I stood up. Gaara looked at me confused.

"I'm sorry Gaara, i have to go. I promise i'll be back tommorow. Okay?"

He nodded. "That okay, i understand."

He let me out of the Hokage building and waved at me while i walked back home.
It took me a few minutes to come home. And i was right , my brother was indeed already home.

"Where were you?" He looked at me with anger.

"I was looking around town." I said, truthfull.

He nodded and pinched his nosebridge. "Your not good at folowing my orders are you. Hm, it doesn't matter , were leaving tommorow."

"Tommorow?!" I replied in shock.

That would mean that i have to break my promise to Gaara. I hate breaking promises.
