I do not own any character, settings, items, etc from the anime/manga, Naruto! I do own Abby and Sarah, other original characters, and anything else that I came up with. Please enjoy and review :)

I skipped down the steps to the dungeon-area-thinger. They have everything in this place! The offices, Kazekage mansion-complete with any room a normal house would have, and now a prison/dungeon/basement.

"Hello?" I asked, to no one in particular.

I looked into the first room I crossed, and in there was the boy. He was sitting on his knees, being held up by shackles on his wrist. He was currently being investigated by two Suna-nins. The one shinobi, kicked the boy's stomach making him cough vigorously. The other shinobi patted the kicking one's shoulder in an attempt to calm him down, which worked. They nodded and told the boy something, which made him look up and yell. The kicking shinobi raised his hand, obviously going to slap the boy. The boy already had his head turned.

"U-umm." I eased into the room. Both Suna ninja's were startled and quickly turned around

"O-oh! Abby-Sama! What brings you here?" Mr. Kick asked bowing

"Yes, I don't think the Kazekage-sama would want you down here by yourself. There's dangerous criminals down here." The un-abusive shinobi reasoned

"It's fine." I waved it off with my hand. "I already told him I was coming down. Ummm.. Should I come back down later, or-?"

"Oh, no! Not at all. We were about to end anyways. He's all yours." Mr. Kick bowed

"Please have a nice day." Mr. Un-abusive did the same.

'Wow...Word goes around fast, when the Kazekage has a girl.' I thought watching the two men go. I looked towards the boy, who looked back up with hate filled eyes.

"What are? Some type of Sand Princess?" He spat

"Not really." I said, plopping down next to him on the sandy floor. "Unless I was adopted, and sent to a different world." Which got me thinking, "Then there would totally be a reason for me to be sent to this world!" I yelled gleefully, proud of my new discovery.

"You so weird." The boy mumbled, slumping his elbows. "So what do you want? Were you sent to interrogate me to? To befriend me for intel?"

"Noooope! I came down here 'cause I was bored."

"Because you were bored?"

"'Cause I was bored."

"Definitely weird."

"I know."

...

"So what's your name?"

"...Ryuu."

"Oh yah! They said something about that at the council meeting!"

"Council meeting? Your part of the council?"

"Nope. Just have connections." I shrugged

"Hmmmm...What kind?"

"The Kazekage."

He snorted, "Him?"

"Yes." I pouted, "And what would be wrong with that?"

"I just don't get how you guys could get him as a Kazekage. I mean, he's so young, and had a monster inside of him."

"Yah, but he also really loves this village and all the people in it. He's really strong to."

He looked at me, "Must be a good friend, huh?"

"You could say that."

He looked me up and down with a confused look, "Don't you think you two are...A little different?"

"Huh?" I asked, taking my gaze off of my intriguing surroundings.

"Well, the Kazekage seems not so good with people, non-talkative, tense, work-ative, ect, ect. But, you on the other hand, seem so outgoing, out-spoken, random, never-shut-up-type."

"Ever heard of opposites attract?"

"I guess..."

"Don't those hurt?" I asked looking at the red marks that protruded out from the shackles.

"Well, duh."

I stuck my tongue, and went on with my game of 20 questions. "Do they ever take them off?"

"Only when they escort me to my room."

"This isn't your room?"

"No."

"...Do you like turtles?"

"What the hell kind of a question is that?"

"Hahaha! An amazing one! Oh, is that a smile i see?"

"Hehe, shutup Baka."

"Neh, don't wanna."

"Don't make me hurt you."

"Say's the man in the shackles."

"No, says the bad ass assasin."

"Oooohhhh. Story time! Story time!"

"Hmmmm. Fine."

For the couple week or so, I've visited Ryuu down in the dungeon thingy. He had the coolest stories to tell about his ninja-y missions! But, I couldn't keep out of my mind how much me and Gaara have been apart. I have tried to see him. Everyday in fact. But, he's always caught up in something. The thing that I worry about the most is, is that when I do get to see a glimpse of him, or get to here that one sentence that may seem meaningless, but means the world to me...He doesn't even seem fazed at the lack of communications we've been having, or even that he misses me. I guess it's ok. I just want to make him happy, and he is an important person. Good thing I got Ryuu here!

"Hola, Ryuu!" I greeted, coming into the torture-investigation room. Which is actually the only place I have ever seen him. Which gave me a good idea

"Hey, Baka-chan."

"Would it kill yah to say my name?"

"Very much so."

"Butt-munch," I mumbled. "Anyways, I gotsa idea!"

"Oh, this should be good." He grumbled

" Shhhhh! The amazing idea of amazingness isssss!- I'll escort you to your room today!"

"...You'd set free a criminal?...Who's after your Kazekage?...Who's supposedly your friend?...Are you retarded?"

"No, I'm only escorting you. Besides, it's not like I see you as a criminal. He's a big boy who can take care off himself, and has his two older siblings, the rest of Suna, and Konoha backing him up. Aaaaand, questionable." I looked around the room before asking, "Where's the keys?"

He sighed and mumbled something about me being weird, and told me they were hanging on a hook outside of the room. And wad yah know? That's exactly where they were.

I got on my knees, and brought the key up to the hole of the shackles. I knew we were close, but I paid no attention to it, although Ryuu seemed a little tense. At this, I decided to have my fun. "Neeeeeh! Ryyuuuu!" I sang, and looked at him. We were so close that our bangs brushed against each other. His face turned bright red and I giggled. He knew what I was doing, and smirked. I saw this as that he took it as funny, but noticed it was actually a smirk of revenge after I unlocked the shackles. Right when he was free, he pounced on me, and started tickling me.

"Hahahaha! Ryuu, Ryuu! Hahaah, stop! You butt munch!"

He pulled up my shirt, so my stomach was showing. I panicked a little, when he restricted my hands, by pushing them down with his own. This panic went away, as soon as he brought down his mouth and raspberry-ed me. I couldn't keep in my laughter, and I was in hysterics. Ryuu, himself, starting laughing his butt off.

"Abby, What are you doing!" I heard Temari shrieked. She looked utterly terrified, and tried to block the door. "Ahhh. Gaara-sama, she seems to not be in here." I heard her stutter. Gaara moved past her, and took in the sight. Kankuro, soon came up behind him, and whistled. Temari elbowed him, causing him to cringe.

This must look soooo awkward. Me laying under a supposed to be shackled assasin. My hands restricted above my head, and my shirt up.

"G-Gaara." I stuttered, knocking Ryuu off of me. He landed on his butt with a grunt, and my eyes widened as sand enveloped him. He cringed, as the sand constricted the air out of him. He was pulled off of his feet, and ascended into the air.

"Gaara! Stop!" I yelled.

The sand whooshed away from Ryuu's body, making him fall back onto the floor.

I ran over to him, and helped him sit up. "Are you ok?" I asked, then looked at Gaara, "What are you thinking? You could have hurt him!"

"Not that I'm not already hurt." Ryuu half chuckled, half huffed, as he got to his feet.

Temari took out her fan, and Kankuro got his puppet at his command. "Don't move!" Kankuro commanded.

Ryuu frowned, and put up his hands.

"What were you doing?" Gaara turned asked, never taking his eyes aways from Ryuu. He turned them onto me. He asked again. "What. Were. You doing?" The strong-ness in his voice made me wince. Ryuu saw this, and decided to be an idiot by coming to my defense.

"She was helping me. Or is the Sand's Kazekage to stupid to realize that?"

"How dare you!" Temari came over and raised her hand, ready to slap him.

"Wait!" I cried, jumping in front of him. "Let him go. He's probably just tired, physically and of being interrogated."

"Don't interfere." Temari ordered. "This is not your place." She said a little softer, "Your not even a true citizen of Suna."

I blinked at this...She's right.

"G-gomen." I stuttered, surprised about how harsh they were being.

"Cheh," Ryuu spat. He glanced at me, then looked at Gaara. "What? I thought he was your friend? Some friend that is!"

"Ryuu." I elbowed him, and he smirked at me. Guilty to say, I cracked a teasing smile back.

Gaara closed his eyes, and opened them back up, seeming kid of irritated, "My authority as Kazekage comes before any type of friendship, or even relationship."

My eyes widened. 'What? Oh yeah' They went back to normal. I knew that. I knew what the circumstances were for going out with Gaara. Who wouldn't? He's the Kazekage. He has so many responsibilities. His village, the people in it, the people and ninjas who are citizens, but are currently away, and even his own life which is in danger every second. On that list...I'm last. No matter how much I want to be first. To be the most important thing in his life. Well, expect for himself. No matter what, even if it kills me-I want Gaara to be happy. To live. I know that his most valuable wish is to be precious, and needed to other people, to his village. But, I wonder if it means anything to him, that's he's already that to me...
