The first day of the final part of the Chuunin Exams...

Yui-

I could tell that Kimi was still angry about what had happened in the Forest of Death, but she really had no reason to be. I mean, I understand that she doesn't want to lose me or Yuji, but she's taking it a little too far. But no matter what I say she won't listen, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying to talk her out of it.

"Kimi, are you still going to go all out on Gaara if you two face off in the ring?"

I asked and she just gave me a look that said 'what do you think?' and I sighed.

"I was afraid of that."

I said before taking a deep breath and looking at her.

"Listen Kimi, you don't have to do anything. Ji and I are both fine, it's over and done with. Just let it go."

I said and she glared at me.

"Not until I show him I'm serious about protecting those I hold dear with my life. I'm going to make him regret attacking you two."

She said and I sighed as I realized she wasn't going to change her mind.

"Fine, go all suicidal on us. But did you ever think that you acting this way towards him isn't helping anything?"

I asked and she looked at me confused.

"What do you mean?"

She asked and I sighed.

"He already had an unstable childhood right? Well so did you. He met you and you two are so alike so maybe he thought he'd finally found someone who didn't want to kill him. But now, you are bent on showing him that you'd kill him with no problem. Think about it from his point of view. If you were in that situation, how would you feel?"

I asked and her eyes widened before she shook her head and glared at me.

"I don't care. He's still going to be sorry for what he almost did."

She said before walking away and I sighed as I watched her walk away.

"Forget about it Yui. You know as well as I do that there's no reasoning with her once she's made up her mind."

Ji said and I sighed again.

"I know, but I can't help but think this isn't going to end so great."

I said and he simply nodded.

-Kimi-

'I don't care what he thinks. He shouldn't have done what he did.'

I thought as I walked down the hallway, away from everyone else.

'As much as I understand how much you want to protect Yui and Ji, you don't think you're going just a little overboard with this?'

Yuu asked and I stopped and glared at the wall since I couldn't really glare at her.

'No, I'm not!'

I snapped and heard her sigh.

'Think about what Yui said. He had a point for once. Out of everyone you should understand what it's been like for Gaara because you've had a similar childhood. People you thought loved you and were your friends suddenly wanted to use or kill you. All the people you held dear suddenly turned against you.'

She said and I growled.

'I don't need a replay of my life. I lived it, I know what happened!'

I snapped and heard Yuu sigh.

'Yes, but listen anyways.'

She said and when I didn't say anything in response she continued.

'How do you think Gaara felt after all that? Probably the same way you did, alone. And you know what loneliness can do to a person. Now, think back to how you felt when Yui and Ji came into your life.'

She said and I did.

'What's your point?'

I asked and saw Yuu smile at me sadly.

'That is probably how Gaara felt when he realized you had a past just like his. He might not have shown it, he might not have even realized it himself, but he was relieved that he wasn't alone. That fact alone probably lifted a great weight off his shoulders and made it seem possible that not everyone he gets close to wants to kill him.'

She said and I thought about what she was saying. It was starting to make sense.

'Now think of this. Think if because of one incident where you couldn't control something that Yui and Ji suddenly turned on you and were trying to kill you. How would you feel?'

Yuu asked and I scoffed.

'That will never happen.'

'Just imagine it!'

Yuu growled at me and I did as she said and frowned.

'Exactly. That is how Gaara is feeling right now. He felt like because your pasts were similar that it would be alright if he let you close. Even if you two haven't realized it, he has let you in and with you now wanting to kill him that is most likely making him feel like all hope is lost again, making him feel alone once more. I'm not telling you what you should or shouldn't do because that is ultimately up to you. All I'm saying is think about what you're doing before you do it.'

Yuu said before going back inside her cage. I stared at the wall in shock. I hadn't thought of it like that at all. I was just trying to protect Yui and Ji and my emotions got in the way.

'Oh my God what have I done?'

I wondered, but before I could think about it anymore the Hokage's voice came on over the speakers and said for us all to get inside the arena. The final stage of the Chuunin exams was about to begin.
