-Kankuro-

I sated in disbelief at the spot where Fayre and that girl Kiyomi disappeared up the stairs. I couldn't believe Fayre'd been serious when she'd said her and that girl were friends, but there was no doubting it now.

"Did that really just happen?"

Temari asked and I just nodded.

"Gaara's not gonna like this."

She said and I laughed a bit at how true that was.

'Fayre, I hope you know what you're going to have to deal with once my brother finds out.'

I thought as I followed Temari out the door and headed towards the Kazekage tower.


-Gaara-

"She what!"

I yelled as I stood up, knocking my chair over in the process.

"Fay says she's not dangerous."

Temari said and I glared at her.

"And you two just let it go? That girl attacked us with the intent to kill us and almost killed Fayre!"

"We know, but Fayre trusts her. What do you want us to do? You know how Fayre is."

Kankuro said and I growled in both anger and annoyance before using my sand to appear outside of Fayre's room. I heard screaming and burst through the door, sand at the ready only to freeze when I saw Fayre and that ninja girl attacking each other with pillows. Fayre paused in her assault on the girl when she noticed me.

"Oh hey Gaara, what's up?"

She asked with a smile and I glared at how at ease she was with an enemy in the room. Despite if she 'trusts' her or not.

"Fayre, we need to talk."

I said as I straightened back up form the crouch I'd been in when I'd burst through the door.

"Uhh…I'll just leave you two alone."

The girl said before she walked past me and headed downstairs. Even though I knew she was out of earshot I stills hut the door.

"So what's up?"

Fayre asked as she sat on her bed.

"What's that girl doing here?"

I asked, trying to keep my anger from coming out in my voice.

"She's my friend."

Fayre said and I fought down the growl that wanted to escape.

"She tried to kill you."

"No, she tried to kill you."

"Even more of a reason not to trust her. How can you be friends with someone who not even three days ago tried to kill me!"

I asked and she glared at me.


-Fayre-

I couldn't believe the nerve of him. How dare he. Like I wasn't capable of choosing friends. I trusted her and that's all that should matter.

"You don't know her story Gaara! You don't know hwy she did what she did!"

I yelled at him.

"I don't want to know why she tried to kill me. The fact is she did!"

He yelled back and I threw my pillow at him as I stood up.

"Dammit Gaara, what's your problem! Do you not think I can choose trustworthy people to be my friends!"

I yelled and he glared at me.

"I have no doubt that you can, but you didn't when you decided to be friends with her. For all you know she could still be trying to kill us. She could be waiting for a time when we drop our guard then she'll strike."

He said and I stared at him in shock. How could he think that? He doesn't know what she's been through. If he did he'd be more open to accepting her like I am.

"Fuck you Gaara!"

I yelled at him before charging at him and pinning him to the ground. He tried to use his sand against me, but I blocked it with my own. He grabbed my arm and flipped us over so he was pinning me down. I growled up at him before grabbing his arms and using my legs to kick him off me and throw him against the dresser on the far side of the room.


-Kankuro-

We all flinched when we heard something break from upstairs.

"What exactly has Lord Gaara so upset?"

Kiyomi asked and I was about to answer when we heard yelling from upstairs.

"She's my friend and I trust her and that's all that should matter!"

We heard Fayre shout before there was a loud thud from upstairs and more yelling ensued.

"She attacked us! You got injured because of her and you expect us to just forget that and be okay with it!"

Gaara yelled before more crashes and thuds muffled out their yelling.

"It would seem he's upset about Fayre choosing you as a friend."

Temari said and Kiyomi silently looked at her feet. I could feel her discomfort and sadness through her chakra.

"Well I think that if Fayre trusts you, then so do I. You seem pretty cool anyways."

I said and she smiled slightly, but still looked at her feet. I nudged Temari and she rolled her eyes before saying something.

"Yeah. Fayre can usually see the good in people before they themselves see it. If Fayre approves of you, then so do I."

She said and Kiyomi's smile widened and she lifted her head to look at us with her light purple eyes.

"Thanks."

She said and I couldn't help but smile back at her before a loud bang from upstairs had us all look up.

"Fine! If you dislike the idea of me having her as my friend so much then I'll just leave!"

Fayre yelled as she appeared at the top of the stairs.

As she walked down them I noticed a few cuts on her arms and face.

"Fayre?"

Temari asked as she headed for the door. She stopped and looked back at us.

"Sorry guys, but I won't put up with someone treating one of my friends like an enemy just because they don't think they can be trusted. Come on Kiyomi."

She said and Kiyomi nodded before going to join her. Then I watched the woman I'd come to think of as my sister walk out the door followed by the hot sand ninja that had become her friend.

'Oh Gaara, what did you just do?'
