*Door bursts open*

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

Me and Konan: Shit.

Konan: *poofs away*

Me: Don't leave me!

Hiodan: 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. I'd also like to thank Jestie Uchiha for being the most recent review and giving me the motivation to write this new ch. Also please read the A.N. at the bottom. I'm sure you'll be interested.

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

"Abby."

"Hai?"

"Shut. Up."

"Your such a meanie Kankuro!" I stuck my tounge out at him and he did the same

"Why do I have such an immature brother?" Temari sighed

"You can't have the best of both worlds." I stated

"Huh?" She questioned

"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 pepple!" 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 Sara's sister?

"How long until we get to Suna?" I asked

"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 sighed giving up

We started to walk some more. 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 your it!" I yelled as I poked Gaara-sensei. "Hahahahaha!" I giggled/laughed retardedly as I ran away from my sensei, and face planted into the dirt.

"Itai. (Ouch/Ow)" I mumbled as I staggered up. And could swear I saw 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.

"Your it. I quit." Gaara-sesei 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

"That's butt." I pouted

I looked up to the sky and notcied it would be dark soon. Oh, how the time pasts when your having fun.

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

We got to the village, went to a hotel, got a 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!

I woke up in a daze still feeling tired, thanks to the dreams I have every night about home. 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.

"Ohayo! (Good Moring-Formal) Did you sleep well?" I asked

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

"Ohayo, guys. Sorry we slept a little later. Should we go?" Temari asked, Kankuro beside her

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

And 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 me 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 fire wood." Temari directed

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 tripped and almost fell on my face if it weren't for Gaara-sensei and his cool sand of epic-ness!

"A-arigato."

"Aa."

...

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

"No."

"Ever?"

"No."

"Why?"

"... I...have a monster in me."

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

"W-what?" I asked

"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 outmatches 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 with my village. To be excepted." He smiled down at me

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 gave him a hug, tears wanting to fall. 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.

"G-gomen. Datte (But, Because), I'm not afraid. Gaara-sensei is still Gaara-sensei no matter what. Right?" I smiled up at him, 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 get's on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerve. I know a song that get's on everybody's nerves! And this is how it goes! BUM BUM BUM!"

"Abby."

"Hai?"

"Shut. Up.!"
