NARUTO

Tobi wasn't in any trouble, just, he needed to get me a new door for the office.

"Tobi, please, go out and buy a new door. What is this, the 5 or 6 time this has happened? I lost count."

"8 actually." Tobi corrected me.

"I would of went with the lowest number possible... like the 5..." I rolled my eyes. "Now, get."

He hurried out of the door like a little mouse. I laughed. So old, yet so young at heart. Sakura, my beautiful wife walked on, she kissed me on the lips. I embraced the kiss for a split 3 seconds, then I pulled away.

"Naru-Kun, why don't we go out tonight? You've been working all week." She said, while grabbing my hand.

"I wish I could say yes to that statement, but sadly I have paperwork to be done, and a mission to organize." I let out a sigh. "You understand don't you darling?"

"I understand Naruto. Just promise me you'll be home a lot more once you get everything settled."

"I can almost promise that."

"Almost?"

"Yes," I sighed. "Almost. I can't promise anything anymore since I can never let my guard down. Something is always going to happen in this village, or in Suna,"

She cut me off. "Gaara can take care of Suna Naruto."

"Let me finish."

"Fine." She sounded paranoid.

"Like I was saying, when things like this occur, me and him talk about getting teams together so basically, I can never let my guard down."

She sighed. "I think I liked you better when I first married you."

"What's that mean?" I was confused.

"You we're Hokage back then. Tsunade still was. Naruto, you've been Hokage for what, 9 years now? I liked it better when you were just the Toad Sage."

"Sakura, don't be like this alright? I'm sorry. I'll take you out to a nice place tomorrow."

"But can you promise that?"

I looked down.

"I knew you couldn't promise me. The only promise you ever made was marrying me." She sighed then walked out.

"And tell Sasuke I send best wishes to him and Ino. I know he sees you daily."

She walked down the stairs. Great, my marriage was probably long gone...

SAYU


After 5 hours, I had done it. Haku, and Zabuza. Back from the dead. They were both out of it and weren't saying to much of anything, but it was understandable.

"They seem like zombies." Jeraado stated.

"Well duh! They are zombies." Iirai replied.

"No they aren't. They are alive as you, Jeraado and myself. They are just getting reacquainted with the world they once knew." I pointed out.

Eclipse looked at me and let out a meow.

"I know Eclipse." I said.

"What'd the cat say?" Jeraado asked.

"Just saying that we should explain everything to them."

Both the boys nodded and away our mouths moved. We were explaining every detail to Haku and Zabuza.

i'll bring in haku after the next post

Temari

When that small rapping at the door last night had woken me i was mad at first, then over joyed. I open the door and who is it but Shika. I can't even say hi before he pulls me out of the room and...

I shake my head, I don't need to be thinking about that right now. I'm surpised i didn't get back to the hotel until just before sunrise though. I had really lost track of time. Naara was already up -something told me she didn't sleep- and we made quick to get out of the village. I offered to get her food but she ignored me and kept walking. Frowning i lead her into the forest. I didn't know if she knew anything about being a ninja so for a while we just walked.

Eventually i heard a long sigh and she was gone. lookign around i saw her above me, jumping though the trees faster than anyone i had ever seen. I went after her but she was too fast.

"Slow down!" I yelled, she was ticking me off a little bit. She stopped, her hand on a tree trunk and her multi colored hair blowing around her. I landed next to her and sighed, crosing my arms. "Listen if you wanted to race you should have said something!" i laughed and i swear i saw a falter in her unmoving scold. i counted down from three and we were off.

It wasn't long until we made it to Suna, or at least the deasert. She had beaten me and beaten me well. From then on we walked, i saw her eyeing the sand with a fire in her eyes like she loved it. i had the feelling she had been here before.

of corse. she's been out on her own since birth. she's probably traveled the world over...

we were silent and her head was down for most of our walk. i stayed behind her slightly and watched her. she was so quick i nearly jumped, her head shot up and she looked across the desert. she was gone. she ran toward whatever she had seen. I looked over and saw Gaara sitting in the sand as if he were... playing with it?

Naara

I had to admit, this woman was kind of fun. Kind of. She was also borning. it was to easy to beat her, but at least she wasn't afraid of me like the others. Then again she seemed to be acostomed to those like me. We walked in the sand and i was so amused! I loved playing in the sand the last time i was here, it was fun to run around and cosy to sleep in, even in the rain. I looked around at the vast ocean of sand and then i saw it, a figure playing around.

around my feet the sand pulsed as if beconing me toward him -just like the trees had the other night in the forest to the leaf village....- I ran. It didn't take long to get to him. he was playing with the sand, it was funny. I looked down at him and saw his red hair slowly move as he looked up at me. I looked at the sand in his hand, i wanted to play too.

The sand started to dance, it moved in odd shapes and made strange beings. i saw him watch in amazement and i almost laughed. For once i wished i hadn't lost my voice. well... maybe i didn't loose it but i don't know if i've ever had one. I never talk.

I bent over and traced the word 'hello' in his palm. he was strange. his eyes were covered like a raccoons and were a dazed color. but then again, that ment we were both strange. I wonder if he's like me...

NARUTO

I had to get out early. I just had to. My marriage was counting on this and I was the one fucking everything up. It wasn't my fault. I don't plan things. I sighed.

"What am I going to do?" I banged my head against my desk.

"Maybe I can be of some assistance." It was Sasuke. I could tell his voice anywhere. I glanced up. He looked so much like his father.

"How can you help me with my failing marriage?"

"Simple." He walked over to me. I didn't want to kiss him again, but at the same time, I did. Was I falling for him? No! Yes! No I cant! Yes I could! Argg! It was all way to confusing for me to take in. He kissed me, right there. His ass was seated right on my desk. I couldn't help it. And I didn't pull away this time either. His kisses were soft and tender. I pulled him closer to me, and next thing I knew was we were in a broom closet...


---------


SAYU

Alright, so now that Haku and Zabuza understand where we're coming from, they followed us back to Konoha. After this, I was leaving. I couldn't take Konoha. I loved Naruto and all, but he had slowly started to forget about all the fun times we had, and how he helped me. Sakura. Err... I COULD NOT STAND HER! She was the ugliest woman alive and I just wanted him to leave her, but who was I? Naruto's student that's who I was. A simpleton. Nothing more. Hell, I would rather have him date Sasuke... and that's saying something since he is a man whore and an evil man. But I loved him as well. Both of them were very nice to me throughout the years. Ur... I was confused.

"So it's 4 days. You two ready?" Jeraado asked.

Both Haku and Zabuza nodded their heads yes and we were all off. Tree jumping. Haku was faster then I had expected but I still didn't know what gender it was.

"So are you a chick or a dude?" Iirai asked. Jeraado elbowed his stomach.

"Be nice you little dick-munch." He said.

"What the shit is a dick-munch?" I asked looked back at them and then stupid me not realizing it, smacks my head on a tree and falls to the ground. Not remembering to much.

Tobi

I ran out as fast as i could. I knew Naru Naru wasn't mad....yet and tobi had to be a good boy cuz tobi IS a good boy, yep yep good boy good boy!

I rand through the village loooking for a door. Many people straided away from me, running into houses and buildings, but the nice mister that knew tobi from teh door place would be nice to tobi!

I went in the shop and the old man laughed.

"you did it agian, eh?"

"yes yes tobi is a bad boy " i frowned. the man laughed again and threw me some candy, i love old guys with candy!

"You remind me of my son, always jumping about. He's dead now though. lets pick out a new door."

Me and the man looked at different colors. no one liked the green one last time, i was leaning toward pumpkin orange...

Gaara

I looked at the girl in amazement. she wasn't afraid. Even if i was accepted now, people still feared me, and people who didn't know me at all feared me even more so. was it that this girl had no fear?

When her frail finger touched my palm it almost made me shiver. her skin was ice. colder than ice...

I watched her finger trace the word hello onto my hand. i blinked, this was so strange.

"H-hello..." i was taken away by this girl. I couldn't believe she was so brave. I stood up and she came just to my chin, pretty much a perfect hight. I stared at her for the longest time. "what is your name?" I needed to know it.

Her fingers came to my empty palm again, there was no sand so how could sh-

sand sprung to her finger like a pen and wrote out the words 'Naara, you'

"Gaara...Gaara of the sand." she smiled at me and i was amazed, i though her face was frozen. how could she smile at someone like me?....

Temari

I was shocked.

Not only had the girl gone over to Gaara -with out fear- she touched him. Skin to skin contact. I was in complet shock. Gaara was looking at her in ways i didn't know he looked at anyone like that. I don't think i ever saw him look at lee liek that.

I slaped my forhead. No i wont think about that. if i brought it up gaara would go insane.

as a cold breeze hit my skin i shivvered, it was getting close to sun down. these days were passing quickly. I walked over to them, just in time to hear gaara ask for her name and see her write Naara on his arm. so stange.

"Gaara, Can she stay with us or do we have to find her lodging? its getting late."

he looked over at me with a glare. i msut have interupted something. it quickly left though.

"She'll stay with us. we have enough room." He got up and headed toward the village, i guess that was cue we were to follow. scratch that, i was to follow because Naara -i guess is really her name- was already following him. this surpised me. It was hardenough to get her to follow me.

things were getting intersting. I'd have to have Gaara help train her.

"Gaara! Your helping me train her!"
"Says who?"
"Says me, and that means your going to do it!" he glared at me before nodding and i smiled. he was getting a lot more safer to be around.

Haku

I looked at the children that had awoken me. they were odd. we headed toward the leaf village, it would be good to see naruto again. I was surpised when i looked at my hands that i had aged. my hair was even longer and my nails long and fine. I looked more like a woman than ever.

when the kids asked what i was, i laughed and stopped running, Zabuza stood behind me, his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm a man."

the kids looked at me like i was insane. i just laughed and kept going. we had a long journy to go. we could get to know each other on the way. Zabuza was the last of us. that was because he was the protection and the slowest. i smiled, we were back and i could see him again.

Naara

I smiled. i couldn't believe i smiled. i couldn't remember the last time i smiled. how odd. i felt, strange... warm.... so very very strange.

i wasn't paying attention but i did know they were speakin of me and it bothered me. i didn't like the attention. when Gaara left ahead of me i followed him. we went into the sleepy village and foudn ourselves in a grand house. Him and the woman, Temari, lead me to a spare room between theirs. there seemed to be a room acrose from me. when i looked at it questionally temari told me it was the third sand sibling, konkoro. i nodded and left to the room given to me. I don't sleep, don't need to. don't want to. but i did want rest. the lone window in this room had a cousion to sit in, i did and looked out at the sky that as slowly becoming night.

temari came in a while later with a pile of clothing and some food. She told me to eat so i would have my strength. I left the food alone but took the clothing. It was just a pale red dress and black pants. I sneered at it and took a needle from my hair. Cutting away at the material i made it into a short shirt and shorts. I couldnt' stand being covered in much, and rags suited me best. i got dressed and sighed. ok new clothing did feel nice.

Temari had mentioned a bath down the hall, i decided i'd look into it later in the night. I looked out the windo again and gazed at the cresent moon above me. home.... home was somewhere knew again. it always moved every night.

I opened the window and climbed the building to the roof. i sat there, my knees to my chest, and listened to the night air.

"who's there?" came a deep voice. i looked up and saw gaara walking toward me. i was surpised to see him. He stood in front of me, blocking the moon and tilted his head. slowly his eyes widened before they moved as if to say he knew why i was here.

"you don't sleep." it wasn't a question, it was a statement. and a right one. I nodded and looked at him. I couldn't see his face but i swore i saw a smile. he moved and sat next to me.

we spent a few hours with him showing me constelations in the sky. i knew them all and more, but i jsut couldn't stop listening to him.

NARUTO


I was back in my office. My shirt was on backwards, and my coat was on the back on my chair. My head band was placed nicely on my deck. I looked around. Sasuke was on the floor by my door.

"Why are you still here?" I asked.

"I didn't want to leave you. I can't leave you. I won't leave you. Not again Naruto. It was to painful the first time." He replied.

"What are you saying Sasuke?" I had a good idea but I wasn't positive about it.

"I love you. I always have loved you. Please Naruto, be with me. No one has to know. We'll be together in secret. What do you say?"

"Well... I..." He got up and kissed me once more. How could I say no to that?! Wait a second Naruto, don't get carried away. You have a wife and kids. But on the other hand, Sasuke was attractive, my friend, and I've always had a thing for him. But wait, he's also married and he too has children. Arg! This was confusing.

"Well, what do you say Naruto? Be with me?"

"Well... ok, but it has to be in secret. No one can know about it." I replied while spinning around in my chair to face the window.

"Really? You mean it Naruto? Unlike the last time..." He brought it up.

"Dammit Sasuke don't bring that up. It was 11 years ago alright? It's the past. Leave it there."

"I can't. It was painful to know that I had lost you to Sakura." He looked away. He never has liked her and he probably never will like her.

"It's not my fault. But you moved on. You got Ino, didn't you?"

He sighed. "Well yes, but I wanted you more then anything in the whole world. You're perfect to me Naruto. Please Dobe?"

Dobe. There was the nickname again. He always called me that as kids. It grew on me.

"I mean it Sasuke. Now, leave before someone gets suspicious."

He kissed me once more. "Alright. I'll be back here tomorrow." He walked out of there opening in the wall where the door once was. I let out a sigh and went back to the window. The sun was setting. Sayu needed to get back, and fast.

--------


SAYU

Of course they would get onto a weird subject like cheese and mash potatoes. Only Iirai would be so stupid. We were almost back to the village. Haku apparently knew who Naruto-Hokage was, but I didn't want to tell him about him becoming the 6th. I would let him find out on his own since no one every thought he would make it. Well, he did. I'm proud of him. A father-like figure to me.

"Boys, it's not to much longer. We're making good timing. We'll make it just before the sun sets." I said.

"Thanks Sayu." Jeraado said with a grin. I think he liked me but I wasn't to sure. Whatever.

Well, we made it. Konoha. A beautiful village when the sun is setting. So pretty.

"Alright Haku, Zabuza, me, Iirai, and Jeraado need to go make our report. Stay with us, but don't enter until we tell you to, alright?" I asked.

"Understood." Zabuza said.

Tobi

Tobi was so happy that I got the orange door! it looked like tobi's mask and naru naru's cloths!

I hurried and got it to the hokage building, carring the door above my head. I set it down and took a paint frush with black paint and painted the lines of my mask around the leaf symbol.

"Now Naru Naru will always remember Tobi is a good boy!" I opened the door and saw Sasuke walked out, he had a smile on his face, he doen't look like a good boy...

I walked up the stairs and nocked on Naru Naru's door.

I hope he likes the door Tobi got him!

Gaara

I had been surpised when the young girl was on teh roof. most would be asleep by now. She looked different in the moonlight, more sorrow, more greif. She didn't seem curious any more. I was intreaged by her, she was different from the others. I sat by her and decided to show my knowlage of the skys. I knew she must have known it as well, after all she comes from the night and doesn't sleep either.

She listened to me, her head on her knees as she looked between me and the sky. Finally i stopped and just looked at her. her dazed, dark eyes looked into mine and shone. I found myself getting slowly closer to her. as soon as i noticed i pulled away quickly. what was i doing?!

Something pulled me to this girl, thats right she's a girl. I'm a grown man! this isn't right.

so many things were going through my mind that i didn't notice her small hand grabbing mine. when i looked down she was writing on me again.

'You know much. Thank you, Sandman.'

If i had eye brows i would have lifted them.

"Sandman?" no one dared call me anything so foolish and yet i didn't mind her saying....wrting such things.
again seh wrote.

'you control sand like i can, your the sandman'

she had a slow smile, a false one and i almost laughed.

"Does that make you the sand girl?" i smirked and she llooked at me with her one open eye, the other covered by scars, and glared in a playful way.

'No, i'm not a girl. I'm the sandwoman.'

I looked at what she wrote and then at her. she was right. even if she was a young woman she was a woman, she was developed enough and smart enough to be called that. i smirked again and nodded.

"Sandwoman it is."

Haku

Zabuza and I walked with the children through the village. we had been here once on a mission but we were never free to walk around.

God it felt good to walk. my body was all stiff and i knew by the sound of cracking bones zabuza's was too. I couldn't wait to seen naruto, to eat, sleep, do anything living people do. I missed it all!

most of all i wanted to fight, to kill, to trap, to have a REASON for living.

Temari

I wrote my logs of the day on a scroll in my room. It was an interesting day, I was glad we came back to suna. I had a feeling Gaara and Naara would help each other in was no one else could.

I closed teh scroll and sighed. There was a picture surrounded by sand stone on my desk. In the frame was a photo of shikamaru and me when he snuck up on me and kidnapped me for our anaversary.

I missed him so much already. I wished one of us could just move but with me being head of Anbu in sand and him being in charge of major missions in leaf it just wasn't happening.

I looked out into the night, whishing for his arms to warm me against the cold.

Naara

He smelled so good. like fire at midnight. why he had gotten close to me i didn't know but i just loved the smell of him. it was exilarating! when he pulled away i remembered i should thank him. usally my nights are lonely.

I was glad he aggreed i was a sandwoman, not in a playing along sense either. no i knew he really aggred because i saw it in his eyes as he looked at me. i quickly looked up at the sky again and smiled to myself. i had just realized this was the closet contact i've had in a long time. i also relized how dirty i was. i started scrubbing my legs, trying to get some dirt and sand off of them.

for the first time i was somewhat embaressed, no enough to be noticed, but enough that it bothered me. I wish i could just go kill something. that was easier than human contact.

"your tear open your skin, just go in the bath." he said and i swear i would have blushed if i could have. i nodded and got up. i walked to the edge of the roof, waved, and jumped. i heard him scramble over to the side of the roof and look down, he smirked when he saw me hanging from the window screen. i smirked and pulled myself in.

The bath was lovely. I was so happy to be able to have it. i had forgoten how increadibly pale i was. now i saw that i was a clearer white than the snow i had seen in the land of ice.

NARUTO

I glanced at Tobi with a look of confusion on my face.

"Tobi... what the hell is up with this door?" He backed away as if he was in trouble.

"Because I like it a lot." I smiled.

He was thrilled. He ran towards me and gave me a hug.

"TOBI IS A GOOD GOOD GOOD BOY! GOOD BOY! GOOD BOY! GOOD BOY!"

"Alright Tobi, stop hugging me."

He put me down.

"What's the mark on your neck Naru Naru?"

He asked me. Oh great. Hes looking at one of the hickeys Sasuke had given to me. I had to make up a good excuse that he would fall for which was everything since he was like a child.

"It's a bruise. I fell off my chair and hit my desk."

"OH OKAY!" He was so damn cheerful all the time. But he was a good kid, man? Um... good person. Yeah, he was a good person.

"Where is Sakura- Chan? Maybe she can fix it for you?"

"No no. She's a little upset with me right now. I would rather not bother her."

"What did Naru Naru do?"

"I'm a lousy husband." I slumped down in my chair and my coat fell on my head. I left it. Tobi of course fixed it so you could see my eyes again.

"No you're not Naru Naru." He said.

"Thanks Tobi."

He tilted his head and looked out the window behind me.

"Why is Sasuke out there?" He asked.

I looked. He was out there.

"Excuse me for a second Tobi." I grabbed my coat and dashed past him. "FIX THE DOOR!" I called as I hurried down the stairs.

-------

SAYU

I saw Naruto running. Me, Jeraado, and Iirai ran to catch up with him.

"Naruto- Sama!" I called.

He turned and faced us. He had a smile on his face. He always had a smile on his face.

"Sayu, Jeraado, Iirai. Nice of you to have returned. Mission report?" He asked.

"Very well. Sayu was able to bring both of them back." Iirai stated.

"What now Roxudaime-Hokage?" Jeraado asked.

"Go find them and settle them into a hotel for the night. Tell them to come to me in the morning so I can explain the mission to them. The more rested they are, the more willing they are to listen." He glanced over our shoulders. "I'll be right back." He dashed right past us. My eyes followed him. He was with Sasuke. Hugging him. Was he cheating on Sakura with HIM?! No... He loved Sakura. Sasuke was a friend. I let out a sigh.

"SAYU! COME ON!" Iirai called over his shoulder. I followed them to find Haku and Zabuza.

Tobi

I watched Naru Naru run away and i almost went after him but then iremembered he didn't call tag. We must be playuing hide and seek!

I closed my eye and counted to 500 and then took off. I couldn't wait to find Naru naru. I started looking everywhere. I ran into Sakura Chan

"Hello tobi what are you doing?"
"Looking for Naru Naru!"
"Where is he?"
"Playing Hide and seek!"
"really... want my help?"
"No that is cheating!" I waved and ran off. I thought i saw naru naru's coat ruffle on the side of an allie so i followed it...

Gaara

That girl scared the shit out of me. I thought she had just jumped to her death.

why the hell i was worried over her i didn't know but it was agravatiing. I've known her, what three hours and we're acting stupid. I walked down a secret set of stair and into my room. I heard the shower running next door, and laughed.

she must be taking a long shower... i sat on my unused bet and stared reading some paper work. suddenly i heard the most heavenly sound. Sining, coming from next door to me. no words, just sounds, but heavenly sounds. I couldnt' believe my ears. i had never heard anything like that. i opened my door and walked closer to teh baths door. i heard it, the notes moving magicly. i stood there in awe as i listened.

It was the most amazing thing, my heart jumped.

temari is like out of this one sowwy me

Haku

The children came back to us, the girl named Sayu walked us to a hotel and got us a room. It was nice and cozy. Zabuza laid down and fell asleep in minutes. it was funny.

Sayu stayed and talked with me though.

"How old are you?"
"Soon to be nineteen. you?"
"Depends on how long i've been dead..."
'I couldn't answer that, sorry."

"its ok, i don't mind."

we talked all night about what has been happenign and some mission i was to do. eventually we got some food and kept talking until she fell asleep in her chair. I carried her over to the bed and laid her down. sitting in a chair, i watched the two sleep. It was peacful agian.

Naara

I was so jubreant that i didn't notice i had opened my lips and sounds were coming out. I didn't hear anything, but i felt something. my mind was freeing, my heart was loosing its tightness. my pale skin glowed when i got out. my hair was the exact same way as before, three buns, two needles, many colors.

I wrapped a towel i had grabbed [temari had left it out side my door with night time cloths i had forgoten to grab] and opened the door.

staring at me was Gaara. My eyes widened as i felt water drip down my barely covered chest and thigh. we stood there for i dont' know how long just staring at each other akwardly. i had no idea waht was going to happen next.

NARUTO

Okay, so maybe it was stupid of me to hide with Sasuke in an alley way and make out but it was the safest place that Sakura would never go. My children on the other hand... But Sakura was watching them. It was dark so she wouldn't let them out of the house. That was a fact I knew for sure.

"You sure Naruto?" Sasuke said muffled while kissing my neck.

"I'm sure Sasuke. Just continue." I ran my hand down his back. He was grinning. I just knew he was.

I adjusted my head, but sadly enough, I saw Tobi. I pushed Sasuke away.

"What was that for?" He was angry. I turned his head.

"Hey cousin." He was nervous. He didn't know what to do. I knew that.

Tobi stared at us. I was scared. I was busted for sure.

---------

SAYU

Haku was fun to talk with. Very nice. Iirai and Jeraado had gone home, but I had no home. Eclipse was with me though.

"Haku, do you like cats?" I asked.

"Sure I do." He replied.

"This is Eclipse, my cat."

She looked at me and meowed.

"I know. He won't hurt you any darling. So say hello."

She jumped off my lap and walked over to Haku. She sniffed him then managed her head under his hand. He was unsure at first, then he warmed up to her. She wasn't a loving cat. She just liked being pet. Not held. I watched and laughed. She was so funny.

Tobi

I stared at cousin and Naru naru. I was a little curious at to what they were doing.

"What you doing?"

"Um, nothing Tobi." Naru naru was nervous.
"Tell tobi!"
"No!"

"Is it bad or good?"
"uh..." they exchanged looks before cousin said." good"

i jumped for joy.
"Tobi want to be a good boy too!"

"I ran over to naru naru and hugged him, giving him a kiss through my mask. "TOBI A GOOD BOY TOO!"

Gaara

I couldn't take my eye off her for the longest time. Finally some loud noise down the hall [from temari's room?] shook me back to reality. For once i felt blood rushing to my face, i blushed horribly and faded away into my room in a blink of an eye. locking the door behind me, i gasped for breath. I couldn't believe myself.

I felt so wrong.

She was beautiful though... her skin so pale and glowing, she looked even more beautiful cleaned and yet she looked to be in even more pain that way. the bandages she had on eariler were gone and scars covered her body and looked painful, bleeding from within.

I shook my head and slid down the wall. I couldn't belive i had looked over her, tracing her wounds and everyting without moving at all. It had my normal stance, my glare, but still, i had wanted to touch her, to feel what her skin felt like, shimmering like diamonds.

I'm sick, so freakin sick...

Temari

I've lost it. I can't take it. I'm so sick of being alone like this all the time. Kanko and Gaara didn't care about me- ok they did but they didn't pay attention to the me behind the loud bossiness. I took the picture frame and threw it across the room. tears streamed through my eyes.

I couldn't do this any more. I just couldn't. I fell to my knees and cried. i streaced over and grabbed the picture, pricking my fingers on shattered glass as i cleaned its serface. the picture was happy, shikamaru had come up behind me and picked me up bridle sile when i wasn't paying attention, i was surpised as hell and then his mom showed up and took a picture. i loved the picture.

i clung to the picture and rocked back and forth.

"Damn you shikamaru!, look what you've turned me into..." i laughed a hiccup as i dried my tears. Slowly, cutting my fingers up, i cleaned the glass and shattered sand stone up.

Everyone is asleep in hotel woo so haku goes night night...nigh tnight

Naara

I grabbed my chest and breathed heavily. i had no idea what jsut happened but i couldn't move. i was litteraly frozen in the spot, water dripping onto stone. I heard temari murmer something loudly and finally i realized if i didn't move Gaara might come out again, or someone else for that matter.

I hurried back to my new room and got the night clothing temari had left me on quickly. even though i couldnt' sleep i got under the covers of my new bed and hid. I was embased so much.... i'll forget in teh moring though. i'l forget almost everything...

I sighed and went to my old clothing. i took out some bandages and started to warp my whole body in them, arms, legs, chest, thighs, neck. everything.

i did this until all my scars were covered exsept the ones on my face. i looked in the reflection of the glass on the window. i saw my face in the moon and sighed. It wont be logn until i have to return.

god i need to fight or something....i wish i had a friend, a companion. something...

NARUTO

I stared at Sasuke and gulped. I had to tell Tobi. He was like a child who would find out eventually. But, at the same time, he might go off and tell Sakura which would be bad!

"Tobi, please let go of me, alright?" He was squishing my stomach, and I was still in pain from earlier in the day. Sasuke knew I was in pain. He could see it in my eyes.

"Here cousin, give me a hug."

Tobi ran to him and hugged him. Sasuke was in pain as well, I could see that.

"Alright Tobi, please stop."

He let go and looked at us confused.
