Two nights later, we lay in the garden by the Amaya, looking out the glass roof. The moon shining like silver above our heads. It was full tonight. Despite the fact it was early December and the desert night should be freezing, we were blissfully warm in the small greenhouse due to the heaters placed everywhere.
"The moon is beautiful tonight, I love it." I said with a dreamy quality to my voice.
"Mhmm, Amaya, am I the moon to you. A beautiful thing you love?" He questioned, hoping to get me to say that I love him.
"No, you are not the moon to me." I heard him sucking a sharp breath, but continued, "The moon is an unconstant thing, never showing the same face every night. To me you are the sun. The thing that brightens my day and is the whole world to me. You are much better than the moon, I love the sun more than the moon."
A small smiled cracked his emotionless facade. His smile shined brighter than the sun.
"Guys, the leaf village people are leaving!" Temari's voice called from below, if anyone other than Temari yelled that, we wouldn't hear it, but damn that girl has some lungs on her. We reluctantly stood.
"Why are they leaving so late? Couldn't they left tomorrow?" I asked the red headed boy.
"An urgent call came in from their Hokage. Speaking of her, next week I am leaving to visit her and work out some new things with her. Do you want to come?" The Leaf Village? It was supposed to be one of the most beautiful village in the Land of Fire.
"Of course I would love to come!" I probably seemed like an overly excited puppy as I did a little dance of happiness!
"Come, we say farewell to our friends." I nodded and he lead me out of the garden by the hand. Waiting downstairs were the four friends I had made. The girls and I took turns hugging each other. When it came to Sasuke we shook hands and said a small goodbye. I came to Naruto and before I knew it I was engulfed in a bear hug.
"Stay safe Ama," He used the nickname that the four leaf shinobi and eventually the sand siblings took accustomed to, "and if Gaara hurts you, gimme a call and I will beat him up! Believe it!" I smiled and forced him to release me.
"Be safe." That was the last thing I said before the four vanished into the night.
One week and one day later Gaara, Temari, and I took off for the Hidden Leaf Village. We traveled in the desert for the first day. It was a boring march, well it was boring until Gaara abruptly stopped. Still walking I bumped into the boy.
"Why are we stopping you lazy asses!" Temari called from ahead.
"Sandstorm, I can feel it. Five minutes away." Gaara said, urgency in his voice.
"Well shit, that wouldn't be very good if we got buried in the sand. Work you magic, brother" She said jogging towards us. As soon as she was next to us, sand started to swirl, but not the way it would in a sandstorm. Gaara was building a wall surrounding us.
"So, what happens next?" I questioned.
"We wait." And wait we did, we sat in the sand for a few minutes until we could hear the sand raging around us. It was a quiet time, until what seemed like forever the storm stopped. Gaara stood, and opened a hole in the ceiling and made a staircase to the top. Once all of us were out we headed up again.
It was nearing dusk when we reached the forest. It was a gradual transition from the sand to the woods, starting with a few trees here and there, then more and more, until the only sand was on Gaara's back.
"We will camp here tonight." He pulled out a mat, obviously meant for two people, but a sleeping bag for one. "Come on Ama, you are sleeping with me." If it wasn't dark my blush would be visible to everyone.
"Yes, captain!" I said in a voice that caused Temari to laugh. I place my pack at the foot of the mat and left my shoes right next to it. Gaara was already in the sleeping bag. He motioned me to get in with him! I happily obliged and curled against the warm boy. I laid my head upon his chest and listened to his strong and steady heartbeat. The beat the soothed me into a deep sleep.
My sleep was interrupted by a harsh tug on my arm. I was being pulled out of the sleeping bag.
"Oh no, looks like our little girl is waking, don't worry. Your friends won't be able to save you now, they have be injected with a paralysis poison. It won't wear off for a few hours, and we will be long gone by then."
Gaara's POV
I watched the men take her, rage filled my body but I couldn't move! They were taking Amaya, they girl I loved, and they just took her! Who gave them the right to take her! I will kill those men! I will save her! A single tear fell from my eye as I watched the biggest man throw her helpless body over his shoulder and carry her off with two other men flanking him.
It was morning when the paralysis wore off. I went straight to Temari to explain.
"I saw," She stated as I neared her and she stood, "but we can't charge into this, we need back up." I nodded my head in agreement. We sent a messenger bird to the Leaf asking for assistance, then took off running ninja speed to Sunagakure. I promise Amaya, I will save you!
