    Keitous POV~

    You were walking with your team, Team 7, to deliver a sacred scroll to Suna. It had been two days now, and you had a short time left to go. Kakaaaaaasshhiii-Senseeeeiii! When are we gonna get there? I ate all of the ramen! Im hungry! As future Hokage, I dont think that I should be under these circumstances, BELIEVE IT!!! Naruto exclaimed. Shut up, loser. Sasuke stated smoothly as he walked a bit ahead of the group. Yeah Naruto, shut up. Sakura stated, running up to Sasuke, and grabbing his arm. Naruto just looked down and kept walking. Oh, Naruto! Dont be so down! Come on, I know what will cheer you up! Lets go climb a tree! Or better yet, lets jump off of a roof of a building when we get to Suna! You smiled from ear to ear. Okay, that sounds fun Naruto trailed off. You just sighed and bribed him in a sing-song voice, Hey, Narutoif you dont cheer up, I wont buy you ramen when we get there like I promised! What, you promised me? When?! He looked up at her, confused yet smiling. Just now. Oh, well then, okay! He jumped up and down for literally three hours until they got to the gates of Suna. Who are you and what is your purpose here? A guard asked. I AM NARUTO UZAMAKI AND I AM SENT HER BY GRANNY TSUNADE TO DE- CLONK! Naruto got hit in the head by Sakuras fist. O-ow he said, clutching his head. Here are our passes Kakashi said, handing the guards their traveling passes, not once looking up from his book. AhI see. The Kazekage is in the largest building here. Just go to the receptionist once you get there. One guard replied, handing them their passes. Okay, Ill go to the Kazekages, Keitou, go get three rooms at an inn, Sakura, go buy some food for dinner, Sasuke and Naruto, goer, dont get in troubleand, follow Sakura around, actually helping her. Kakashi said. Hai Kakashi-sensei. They said in unison as Kakashi disappeared. Well, Im offbye now! You said, running off. Yay! Come on, Sasuke-Kun, lets go shopping! Sakura grabbed Sasukes arm, dragging him with her to the nearest market, leaving poor Naruto alone. Hmokay, I have some moneyoh, look! A ramen stand! He ran off towards it. You were walking around, looking for the nearest inn you could find, but you werent having any luck. You sighed and closed your eyes for a brief second when all of a sudden you crashed into someone. GAH! You looked up at the person after shrieking and said, OH! Im so sorry! I didnt mean to! You then saw he staring at you with his beautiful aquamarine eyes and crimson hair that blew in the wind. Hn. Just dont let it happen again, or I may have to kill you. He sternly replied. O-ohokayIIm sorry. You turned around and started walking away. GreatI was just walking, and I already have somebody to hate meAND I DONT EVEN KNOW THEM! You thought. Waitmaybe he possibly, maybe couldno, never mind. Well, maybe he could help me to the nearest inn! You spun around only to see him talking to a blond-headed girl that looked much older than him and a guy with purple face paint and a mask on. You nervously walked up to them and whispered, E-excuse m-mebut if y-you wou-wouldnt m-mind as to t-tell me where the ne-nearest inn I-is Huh? Oh, did you need something, Miss The blond one said. O-oren. Keitou Oren. You spoke again, softly. Ah, I havent seen you around here, you new? She asked. I-Im actually a leaf n-ninja from K-kohona. I h-have to find an I-inn, if you w-wouldnt mind You said. Ah, a leaf ninmust be on a mission. Well, Im Temari. This is Gaara She pointed to herself, then the redhead you ran into earlier. And this is KONKURO! Nice to meet you, how about I show you where the inn is. Then, maybe dinner and a night over at my-OW! Temari hit him upside the head. Sorry about himhere, Keitou, Gaara will show you to the inn and help you sign in. I already heard that you had an encounter earlier, am I correct? She stated/asked. Y-yes, Temari-Sanuh, what? OH! N-NO! I DONT NEED A-ANYONE T-TO TAKE ME T-THERE! JUST D-DIRECTIONS! You exclaimed. Oh nonsense. Gaara was rude to you and he will escort you to the nearest inn. No, hurry off you two Temari said, pushing you two along.

    Temaris POV~

    You watched Gaara and Keitou walk off towards the inn. You think shes the one, dont you? Konkuro asked. Hm you replied, putting your hand to your chin in the thinking position. I think she might be the onewell have to see later on. Give them a couple of days you finished. But her team is probably leaving tomorrow he made a good point. Then well have to make her stay. How? No more questions. Just follow me. You demanded, walking towards your house.

    Keitous POV~

    You silently walked two or three feet away from Gaara, keeping to your own self, hanging your head down slightly. Gaara stopped in front of a medium-sized building with a sign that said, Suna Inn. Here you go. He said, blankly. O-ohth-thank you, G-gaara-San. You replied shyly. Dont call me that. He said, turning to you. Oho-okay, sorry, Gaara. You looked at him with hair in your eyes. I wonder why he has love written on his headhm. you thought.

    Gaaras POV~

    You reached the inn and said Here you go. O-ohth-thank you, Gaara-San. she replied shyly. why is she so shy? And, why did she use a respect name for me? Dont call me that. You said, turning to her. Oho-okay. Sorry, Gaara. She looked at you with hair in her face. Its okay. you turned back around and started to walk off. why is she so shy? Her face is beautiful andwait? I did NOT call her b-bea-beautiful! She shall die for th- your thoughts were interrupted by someone grabbing you from behind. What the he- You looked to see that girl hugging you. Im sorryI-its j-just II wanted to g-give you m-my th-thanks. She said, pulling away from you, turning around, and walking away pretty fast. You jut stood there and felt your face a little warm. w-what was that feeling when she h-hugged me? Wait. She wasnt afraid. She hugged me. your thoughts were once again stopped by a familiar voice. YO GAARA! What cha doin? Temari shouted, running up to you with Konkuro behind her. Leave me alone. You replied sternly. Aw, my little brother was just embarrassed when we saw that a girl hugged himAND HE BLUSHED! LISTEN TO THAT EVERYONE! MY LITTLE BROTH- you stopped Temari from shouting by slapping your hand over her mouth. My brother is going to get some action? And yet I am older and stillGOD! Konkuro stormed off while Temari moved from your hand. Just a joke, Gaara. Sheesh. Get a sense of humor. But stillwhy was she hugging you? I dont know you said, walking away from her confused.

    Temaris POV~

    Phase one complete. Got that Konkuro? you asked into your earpiece. Got it. What are you going to do now? He replied/asked back. Youll see

    Keitous POV~

    I cant believe I hugged him! Especially someone that I dont knowoh, that was so embarrassing! you thought, going into the inn. Konichiwa. I w-would like th-three rooms p-please. you said to the receptionist. Okay, here are your keys and the total is 5000 yen. She replied, handing you the keys while you gave her the money. Th-thank you. You decided to walk outside to find Sakura, Sas-butt, and Naruto. You walked around for about an hour until you saw a huge crowd in a circle. Whats going on? you thought, walking up to the group. You saw a couple shots of bright orange in between the many people. N-Naruto? You asked to yourself. Wait, do you know this kid? a random guy asked you. You nodded your head slightly and he grabbed your arm and pushed you into the middle by the body. You looked down at it and saw Naruto there. NARUTO!!! You shouted, jumping down quickly so that you were beside him. N-Narutowhat happened? you asked with tears coming out of your eyes. K-keitou? I am so glad y-youre here. I dont know w-what happened. I w-was walking down the s-street, looking for Sakura and Sasuke when something hit me. He said, weakly as he coughed up blood. He looked horrible. He had a huge bump on the top of his head, cuts everywhere, he was bleeding immensely and he looked like he was going to pass out any minute. Do you know who did this? He shook his head and closed his eyes. GAH! NARUTO! NO! COME ON! ILL GET YOU TO THE HOSPITAL! You screamed, grabbing him and running towardswell, you didnt know. GAH! WHERE IS THE ******** HOSPITAL!?!?!?!?! you thought, searching frantically. Need help, baby? a voice said behind you. You shot in their direction and saw Konkuro. Ohmygod! Konkuro! IREALLYNEEDYOURHELP! PLEASE! WHEREISTHEHOSPITAL?!?! you shouted really fast, forgetting your shyness for your friends case. WAIT! DONT YOU EVER CALL ME BABY YOU PERVERT! OH! IM SORRY! I DIDNT MEAN TO CALL YOU A PER- So, what happened to your friend here? He asked, pointing to Naruto. Oh! Naruto! He doesnt know! He got hit and ireallyneedtogettothehospitalifyoudonttakemeillkillyou! you said really fast once again, glaring at him until you realized what you just said. OHMIGOD! IM SO SOR- Uh, yeahthe hospital is that way he said, pointing east. OH THANK YOU SO MUCH! you yelled, running off in the direction that he pointed.

    Konkuros POV~

    Hello? Temari. You there? You spoke into the earpiece. Hai. What do you want? she replied, sounding aggravated. Hm. Nothing its just that the same girl that hugged Gaara asked for directions to the hospital. Youre point? Did you do anything to a boy in an orange and blue jumpsuit? Hm. she smirked. Yeahthat was my way of making her stay a couple of daysto put one of her team mates in the hospital. Temarieven for youthats cruel. you said. Hn. Whatever. Just make sure her and Gaara get closer together. Im out. she demanded. yeahokay. you whispered to yourself.

    Gaaras POV~

    You were walking through the streets of Suna when you saw a girl run by you holding a boy with an orange jumpsuit. Is it that girl? you wondered. She ran to the hospital and you followed her. what happened? Wait, why do I care? God, Temari and Konkuro are rubbing off on me. Greeeaaat. you smirked and walked into the hospital to see the doctors taking the boy away and the girl sitting in a chair with her hands up to her eyes, shaking. You were about to leave, but then something that never happened before, happened. There was a voice in your head telling you to go to her. You sighed and walked up to her, sitting next to her. She looked up at you and grabbed you in a tight embrace. You were certainly shocked by this action, but the warm feeling came to your heart, and you just let her hug you. She eventually let go and looked up at you, wiping her eyes off. O-ohI-Im s-sorry. she whispered. You sighed and the strange voice came back to you telling you to say Its okay. She smiled and the two of you talked for about 2 hours about your pasts and why she was here and stuff.

    Keitous POV~

    You talked with Gaara and actually opened up to him. You never did that with strangers. You were usually really shy; but, when you were with himyou felt like youve known him forever. You felt bad for him about Shuukaku, but you werent afraid at all, which looked like it surprised him. Just then, the doctor came in and spoke up. Okay, Naruto is going to be fine. He will just have to stay here for two days. And you cant visit him until tomorrow at 11 am. He will be resting. Itd be best if you two went home for the night, its almost midnight. you got up, bowed, then turned to Gaara. I suppose I should find my team and go to the inn. They cant get in with out meheh. you smiled nervously and he spoke up. okay, lets just go. then you and Gaara walked out of the hospital and led you to the inn. Thanks for walking me, I forgot where it was againand by the way I had fun. you smiled and walked to the front door, but stopped for a small second. We should hang out while Im here with that you flashed a quick smile and walked in, coming up to an angry team. You explained the whole situation as you noticed Gaara leaving. They said it was fine and the three of you went to your rooms. Kakashi got his own room, Sasuke had to share his room with Naruto, but since Naruto wasnt here at the moment, he got his own room. You and Sakura ended up sharing a room, which was great because you and her were best friends. You fell asleep as soon as you hit the bed, which kind of surprised Sakura, seeing how tired you were. You woke up the next morning to see Sasuke, Kakashi, and Sakura standing over you. AH!!! you flew off the bed, panting. Are you alright, Keitou? Kakashi asked, helping you up. Yeahthanks. you replied, so, whats up? We are staying here until Naruto gets out of the hospital. Its 7:30 now, at 11 we all can go visit Narutoif wanted. So, until then, go ahead and do whatever you want. As for me, Im hungry, and Sakura lost all of the food on the way here. Anyone want to come? He said/asked. No way! Sasuke and I are going on a date! Sakura exclaimed, grabbing Sasuke and running out the door. Sakura! Get off! Sasuke shouted back, his voice trailing off into the distance. What about you, Keitou? You snapped your head up to him. Oh, no thank you, I wanna go look around. you bowed, smiled, then walked off. You ran out the door. You didnt really want to look around, you wanted to find Gaara, your new friend. You walked for about ten minutes until you saw him, Temari, and Konkuro walking through the village. You kept walking, since it looked like they were having fun, and you didnt want to ruin it. YO KEITOU!!!!! you heard a girls voice call out to you. You quickly turned around to see Temari waving her hand to tell you to come to them. Konkuro was just smiling widely and Gaara was looking away. You ran up to them and said, H-hey T-temari, Ko-konkuro, Gaara. Temari smiled at you then looked at Gaara. Konkuro winked and replied with a wass up? Gaara glanced at you and said with just a hey. You felt your heart drop some when you heard his reaction, but you just faked a smile. D-did you n-need me, T-temari? you asked. Oh, yeahbut too bad now, Konkuro and I have to gowe were going to ask to get breakfast, but seeing as we cantmaybe, Gaara will take you. BYE NOW!!! she shouted, leaving you alone with Gaara. Umhello Gaara, would you like to go to breakfast? you smiled as he turned to you. Sure. you and him walked towards the ramen shop. You guys ate, talked, and walked around together, completely loosing track of time. The sun was setting and you two were sitting at the lake, watching the sun go down. Thank you, Gaarafor everything. You looked up at him, smiling and blushing a bit. What do you m-mean? he stuttered, having a barely visible blush across his face. For today. Its been fun! you laughed at his stuttering and looked back at the lake. Uh, umKeitou-Chan? Gaaras voice startled you. Huh? Oh, what is it, Gaara? you looked at him, smiling. Iuh, do- dont know h-how to say this b-butI h-have t-this we- KEITOU!!!! KEITOU!!! WHERE ARE YOU?! ITS ALMOST 9!!! OH! THERE YOU ARE! COME ON! TIME TO GO!!! Sakura shouted. Oh, um okay. you said, getting up. Oh, wait. What were you saying, Gaara? you looked at him. Ohits nothing he replied. Oh, okay! Just tell me tomorrow if you want, bye Gaara, I had fun! you yelled, running off. Who was that? Sakura asked as you two left.

    Gaaras POV~

    Yeah. Nothing. you sighed as you heard someone sit next to you. What were you going to say, Gaara? Temari asked. Whats it to you? You glared. You didnt have to be rude about it. I saw what was happening. I think that you love her, and you were just about to tell her. Am I right? She smirked. Just leave me alone, its none of your business. You replied, getting up. Well, even if its notjust remember that tomorrow is your last day and chance tell her. She may feel the same way, Gaara. She said seriously. Hn. You ran off to your house and sat on the roof. The sun had already gone down and you were looking at the moon thinking about Keitou.

    Keitous POV~

    You told Sakura everything about Gaara and how you thought he was cute and you may have really like himor more. She said to go for it, flirt all the way, she gave a good point that we only have one day left, so use it wisely. You agreed and went to sleep.

    ~~FF: NEXT MORNING~~

    You got up and got ready really quick, you ran out the door, down the hall and so on until you got out of the inn. You walked around, looking for Gaara, thinking. Okay, this is the only day I have left, time to make the best of it. I know I can be really shy, but I have to tell him! you then saw Gaara walking down the street. GAAAAAAARRRAAAA!!!! you yelled, running up to him. Hey, whats up? Wanna hang out? you asked. Huh, ohum, okay? he replied, slightly blushing, but you didnt notice. Hey, I have an idea! Lets go to a place I found the other day when I was first looking for an inn! Its really beautiful! you suggested, dragging Gaara with you to the place. This will be the perfect time to tell him! you thought.

    Gaaras POV~

    A beautiful place, eh? That may be my only chance like Temari said. I cant let this get interrupted like yesterday. you thought, walking next to her. You blushed at the fact that she was still holding your hand. She noticed this and quickly took her hand away from yours murmuring sorry. After about ten minutes of walking, you reached a clearing in a valley away from the sand and saw fields full of flowers with mountains in the background. There was a small stream running through the valley. Wow you muttered. Yeah, I know! Come on!! Lets go sit! She ran ahead and sat down by the stream. You followed her and sat next to her.

    Both Gaaras and Keitous POV~

    There was about 30 minutes of silence and during that time you were thinking, Okay, its now or never you opened up your mouth and looked at the other. You spoke up, noticing that the other spoke at the same time you did, Uh, Gaara/KeitouI wanted to tell you something You blushed and spoke again, Oh, sorry Once again, you blushed, looking at the other.

    Keitous POV~

    Hereyou go first. You smiled, blushing. Uh, okay Gaara replied, blushing slightly. Um, Keitou. I dont really know how to tell you this, but, I have never been loved before and had never loved anyone before, either, so I dont know how it feels. But, I have a warm feeling in my chest, in my heart to be exactand it only comes when Im around youand, I think that what Im trying to say is-

    Both Gaaras and Keitous POV~

    I think I love you.

    Keitous POV~

    You blushed, thinking about what you and Gaara said. R-really? You asked. I d-dont know w-what the f-feeling ist-to love, b-but, y-yesif that is it. He replied. What about you? I d-doGaara, I l-love you! You jumped into his arms and he hugged you back for once. You slowly pulled away, looking into his beautiful, aquamarine eyes. You leaned closer to him, closing your eyes as you lightly kissed him on the lips. He apparently caught this by surprise, by the way he slightly jumped. But he soon kissed back with just as much love. You pulled away slowly and smiled, blushing insanely. He the same. Gaara then walked you home, holding hands. It was midday and you knew that you were leaving for Kohona soon. Once you got to the inn, you saw Kakashi-sensei, Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto there, all packed even with yours stuff. Your eyes widened and you let go of Gaaras hand, and you ran up to Naruto and hugged him. Naruto! Youre back! And okay! Im so happy! you exclaimed. Believe it! Like I am going to let one bump and a few scratches get to my head! he grinned. Im just gladthats all. You turned to Gaara, walked up to him, grabbed his hand, and pulled him to the group. Kakashi-Sensei, Sakura, Sas-butt, and Narutothis is Gaara! Gaara this is my sensei, Kakashi. you pointed to Kakashi. This is Sakura Hurano and Sas-buttI mean Sasuke Uchiha. you then pointed to Sasuke and Sakura. And finally, my best friend, Naruto Uzamaki. They are my team. Lastly, you pointed to Naruto. Theyre from Kohonaoh, yeah. We were leaving, werent we? You asked Kakashi. Hm? he didnt even look up from his book (shocker) just spoke again, Oh, hai. Yes, we are. That reminds me, we should get goingdont wanna be late. Come on team. you looked down, slightly depressed. Gaara. I have to go home. I dont wanna leave you. Will you come with us? You looked up at him. KeitouI-I cant. I have to be the next heir for Kazekage. My brother is too foolish to do it. I guess that love was just something made upto play with peoples hearts, and then crush them. I found out that I love you and you back, but nowit was too good to be true. Gaara you whispered. Or Gaara continued. Or you canstay with meforever. You looked at him. R-really? I would love thatbut, my team. you say, a tear escaping. If you wantyou can leave. Gaara said, with sadness in his eyes. Keitou, come on. We have a couple day trip. Kakashi stated. Im sorry. Gaara looked down. Kakashi-Sensei! I cant go! I love Gaara too much! Can I stay here? In Suna?! Kakashi looked up from his book (SHOCKER!) and sighed. Are you sure, Keitou? Kohona could really use a talented ninja like you Yes! Im sure! Please? You pleaded. Oh, okay. Ill tell Tsunade about this when we get there. Goodbye, Keitou Oren. Well miss you all. He replied, walking away. Thank you! Tell everyone bye! You cried, you were going to miss everyone, but you loved Gaara more than anything. You ran up to him and hugged him tightly. Im here to stay. I love you, Gaara. you whispered. II love you too, Keitou. He smiled (O.O) and kissed you on the lips. Righ when he did that, Temari and Konkuro walked by, stopping and staring. My plan worked Temari smirked. Who wouldve known? My little bro found love. Wait, he found it before me! I. Hate. Him. Konkuro said. Just drop it, lets go. Temari grabbed him, and they walked away. After Gaara and you broke away, you both stared into each others eyes and walked off into the sunset, holding hands, living happily ever after.
