-Fayre-

It had been two days since mine and Gaara's talk in the kitchen and now we talked every night. He'd go to his office, and me, Temari, and Kankuro would go about our day. I'd go with Temari when she took Gaara his dinner and smiled when he dumped it into the trash. Then once Kankuro and Temari fell asleep around ten, Gaara would come home and knock on my door. I'd cook us some food, then we'd talk. Each time we'd get interrupted by Temari and Kankuro and I'd disappear upstairs while Gaara used his hand to disappear.

"Hey Fayre, do you ever get up and cook in the middle of the night?"

Temari asked as she served us breakfast. It's not that I didn't love the girl, I did, but I swear she was trying to kill us. She just couldn't cook.

"No, why?"

I asked, feinting innocence. I stole a look at Gaara to see him smirking down at his plate of burned eggs and charred toast.

"It's just that Kankuro and I keep smelling these delicious scents after we got to bed and we get up to find out what it is, only to find the kitchen empty."

She said and I bit the inside of my lip to keep from giggling.

"Weird, but it can't be me. I can't cook to save my life."

I said and heard Gaara try to stifle a laugh, but wound up coughing instead.

"You okay bro?"

Kankuro asked and Gaara just nodded. I smiled before standing up and putting my plate in the sink.

"Later guys."

I said and everyone looked at me surprised.

"Where are you going?"

Temari asked. I usually never went anywhere without telling them or being with one of them, but I needed to do something I'd been putting off.

"Just out. I'll be back for dinner."

I said before walking out of the room, putting my shoes on, and heading out the door.


-Gaara-

"That's odd. She usually never goes anywhere."

Kankuro said and I shrugged.

"She's been cooped up in this house for a while now, can we really blame her for wanting to get out for a bit?"

Temari asked and silence met her question. I left shortly after Fayre and headed to my office. I had a lot of paperwork to deal with and the council was starting to bug me about falling behind. I'd like to see them run the city and keep up with all the paperwork I have to deal with.


-Fayre-

"Ok, so I collapsed right around here."

I said to myself as I looked down at the area outside of Suna that Temari had found me. I looked out over the vast expanse of desert and sighed. I'd always loved the desert, mainly the sand which was why I was so happy Raja had given me the ability to control sand. Even though he was gone I still had that part of him.

"I've found a new place to call home Raja, but it still feels lonely without you with me."

I said to the wind around me. I knew he was gone and couldn't hear me, but it made me feel better to act like I was talking to him.

I sighed again before noticing I'd been staring out at the horizon for a while. I turned and started to head back to the gates. I was stopped by the guards.

"Show us your papers."

The one on the right said and I looked at him confused.

"What? I live with the Sand Siblings."

I said and the guards both laughed.

"Right, and my sister's engaged to the Kazekage."

The one on the left said sarcastically and I growled.

"Show us your papers or get lost."

The one on the right said and I looked both of them over. The right one had short brown hair, plain brown eyes, and was a foot or two taller than me. The one on the left had blonde hair to his shoulders, blue eyes and was shorter than the one on the right but was still taller than me. I hated being short.

"Let me through."

I said through clenched teeth. I was really getting annoyed with these two.

"No. Now get lost before we have to get violent."

The blonde said and I just ignored him and tried to walk into the village, only to be grabbed round the waist and thrown to the ground.

"Try that again and you'll get hurt."

They both said and I growled before trying to run past them. The brown haired one hit me in the stomach making me stop, while the blonde grabbed me and threw me to the ground. I heard them laugh.

"You're weak, there's no way you can get past us."

The blonde said and I lifted my head and glared at them. I saw them flinch under my gaze, but tried to act like it hadn't effected them.

I slowly got to my feet and crouched down into my fighting stance. They both looked at me confused before the brown haired guard charged at me with a kunai. I side stepped his attack and grabbed the arm extended out with the kunai in hand. I spun and wrapped his own arm around him and bent his wrist backward making him drop the kunai. It landed at his feet and he looked down at it before looking back at me. I saw fear flash in his eyes and smirked. I pulled and heard his arm pop out of place. I brought my leg up and kicked him away from me. He landed and cradled his arm to his chest. I turned to the blonde when I heard him start to say something.

"I need backup at the gate. A rouge Shinobi is trying to force their way inside the city."

He said and I sighed as he charged at me much like the brown haired man had. I ducked and knocked his feet out form under him. He landed on his back and I grabbed the kunai the other guard had dropped and pressed it to the blonde's throat as I straddled his waist and pinned him down.

"Don't move!"

I heard someone yell and looked up to see we were surrounded by ten or twenty sand ANBU. I groaned as I looked back at the blonde who had passed out from his fear. I sighed before getting to my feet.

"I said don't move!"

The voice from before said and I looked around till I found who it came form. All ANBU were dressed in black with their faces covered, but I could just make out light brown hair peeking out from behind the mask.

"Look, I just want to get inside the city."

I said.

"We can't let you do that. If you didn't have papers then you can't enter the city."

He said, I could tell it was male form the voice.

"Let me through or you're all going to get hurt."

I said and heard laughter form all around.

"Do you have any idea who we are? We're the ANBU of Suna, the Kazekage himself trained us. You don't know who you're messing with."

The guy from before said and I glared at him as I saw more ANBU start to surround me.

"I believe it is you who doesn't know who they are messing with."

I said as I took my stance.

"Just don't say I didn't warn you."

I said before drawing my own kunai and charging at them.
