*Door bursts open*

Hidan: You bitch! I knew you couldn't be that quiet without a better reason!

Konan and I: Shit.

Konan: *poofs away*

Me: Don't leave me!

Hidan: Hahaha punishment time~ *cracks knuckles*

Me: *Gulps* Enjoy and remember I not own any characters, settings, items, etc from the anime/manga, Naruto! I do however, own Abby and Sarah, other original characters, and anything else that I came up with.

"On the road again. Just can't wait to get on the road again. Lalalalalalallaa!"

"Abby."

"Yeeees?"

"Shut. Up."

"Your such a meanie, Kankuro!" I stuck my tongue out at him, only to receive the same gesture.

"Why do I have such an immature brother?" Temari sighed, as she rubbed her temples. Kinda reminds me of a certain sister.

"You can't have the best of both worlds." I walked up beside her, and laid my hand on her shoulder sadly.

"Huh?" She looked at me questionably.

"Well, you have Gaara. Who is a lot less stupid and louder than Kankuro. Not to mention having me with you right now. And I'm just super fantastic. Hey look! A pebble!" I crouched down and picked up the majestic mini rock. I stuck it in my pocket, but shhhhhh! It's for world domination!

"You had me. Then you lost me." She sighed again. Maybe she's the one who's Sarah's sister?

"How long until we get to Suna?" I asked. It already feels like forever!

"3 days, so 2 nights camping." Temari answered.

"What do slugs eat?" I asked Kankuro, completely ignoring what Temari just said.

"How the hell should I know?"

"Oh! Never mind, sorry. I forgot that was dream."

"You had a dream about me and slugs?"

"No. Why?"

"Never mind." He face palmed, and moved faster, seeming to trying to get away from me. But whoever would do such a crazy thing?

We walked, and walked, and walked, and walked. I looked around and saw a squirrel. I named him Mr. Nutty Mc. Nut-nut. How do I know it's boy? The thing is- I Don't.

"Tag you're it!" I yelled as I poked Gaara-sensei. "Hahahahaha!" I giggle-laughed retardedly as I ran away from my sensei, and face planted into the dirt.

"Ow," I mumbled as I staggered up. I swear I could see some sand retreat into Gaara-sensei's gourd-thinger-majiger! And that he wore a small smirk! Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara-sensei just kept walking.

"You're it. I quit." Gaara-sensei mumbled to me as he lightly tapped me as he went past.

"Hey! You can't tag me then quit!...Can you?" I ran up to them.

"Yes." Gaara-sensei stated simply.

"That's butt." I pouted, and crossed my arms.

I looked up to the sky and noticed it would be dark soon. Oh, how the time pasts when you're having fun.

Temari took notice of this as well, and looked around. "We're pretty close to the next village. When we get there we can get a room in a hotel."

Just as plan we got to the village got a hotel room, and now we were all exhausted. We all fell fast asleep. Well, at least I thought all of us did,

Time Skip...Of Turtles!

Thanks to the dreams I have every night about home, I woke up in a daze, and still feeling tired. I took notice that Temari and Kankuro were still asleep, but Gaara-sensei was no where in sight. I quietly got out of my bed that I shared with Temari, hoping not to wake either of them. I went over to the little kitchen section and saw Gaara-sensei sitting at the table. He had his elbow on the table and his hands weaved together under his chin, with a look of boredom.

"Good Morning! Did you sleep well?" I sat next to him, and slumped down into my seat.

He was silent for a while before replying, "No. I don't sleep at all. I-"

"Morning, guys. Sorry we slept a little later. Should we go?" Temari asked, Kankuro beside her and all ready to leave.

"Aa." Gaara answered, getting up from his seat. I wonder what he was going to say. Was he having bad dreams to?

Now we were on the road again, making our way to the sand village. We were quiet for most of the day. I kept wondering why Gaara-sensei didn't go to sleep, he didn't look that tired. I looked back over to Gaara-sensei. Did he ever go to sleep? If not, is that reason he has black rings on his eyes? When was the last time he slept?

Temari and I talked about random things for the rest of the day while the boys were behind, Gaara-sensei listening to Kankuro's stories.

Instead of a hotel it was time for bum-bum-bum- CAMPING! The last time I went camping was when I was in home world. My sister, her one daughter, and I went to her ex-husband's families camping ground at like 3-5 A.M. Good times, good times...I wonder what there doing right now...

"Ok, Kankuro will get the sleeping bags out, I'll make a fire pit, then get water, Abby and Gaara, you guys get some firewood." Temari directed strictly. It kind of scared me a little. I doubt I'd ever want to get in her way when she's serious.

We all went to work. Kankuro went to our bags, Temari went south to the river, and Gaara-sensei and I went to the right to get wood.

Yay...More awkward silence. We already had some wood and were now going back to the camp. "So, what were you saying before? At the hotel. I- Ah!" I squealed, as I tripped. Thank goodness for Gaara-sensei and his cool sand of epic-ness or I would have fallen face first!

"Th-thanks..."

"Aa."

...

"Do you ever sleep?" I asked, looking up at him through my bangs.

"No."

"Ever?"

"No."

"Why?"

"... I...have a monster in me." His voice seemed unusually quiet, and even a little strained as he said this.

My eyes widened at this. A monster? What did he mean?

"What do you mean... A monster?"

"I'm a jinchuriki of the one-tailed Shukaku."

"The what of the whatty-Mc. What what?"

He sighed and then proceeded. "The jinchūriki are humans that have Tailed Beasts sealed within them. The Tailed Beasts are large, living forms of chakra, sometimes referred to as, "Chakra Monsters," giving them power that far outmatch most shinobi. However, this immense strength is tempered due to their bestial nature, which restricts them from being intelligent enough to use it effectively. When the Tailed Beasts are sealed within humans, they are able to benefit from the knowledge of their hosts, giving them the ability to better utilize their powers."

"I'm not 100% sure of what you just said...But I think I get it. What one do you have again?"

"The one-tailed Shukaku."

"I see..."

"It's ok... To be afraid. I was shunned for most of my life, not loved by anyone but myself. I gave into the blood lust of my beast and killed so many people, thinking it was proof of my existence. I saw then how that was all wrong. I strove forth to become the Kazekage and become one with my village. To be accepted." He sounded... So sad... Afraid even. Even so, I could hear the courage that rang through his voice. All of the persistence and strength he used to do what he knew he could.

I think I was even more shocked by what I did then Gaara-sensei was, but I couldn't help it. I let the wood fall out of my hands, as I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around him tightly. I didn't think he would have such a troubled past. Sure, he didn't seem like the biggest social butterfly, but just hearing this made my heart hurt.

"I'm not afraid. Gaara-sensei is still Gaara-sensei no matter what. Right?" I slowly looked up at him with a soft smile. His eyes were wide. He let a small smile touch his lips.

"Aa." He patted my head, then crouched down to help me pick up the fallen wood.

The rest of the walk back to camp was quiet, but blissful. I'm glad that I could learn about Gaara-sensei. I actually think we're getting closer.

Next Morning...Woooooo!

"I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves! And this is how it goes! BUM BUM BUM!"

"Abby."

"Hai?"

"Shut. Up.!"

Hope you guys liked it! More Gaara and Abby time! :D Please, Review, Favorite, Alert, Ect!
