when i walked through the door the chattering that was hear able from outside stopped

"is she home?" i heard Kankuro whisper. i smirked and walked right to where they were hidden; behind the couch, and said

"is the view of the TV better from  here?" they both jumped and looked up at me. shock and fear was evident on their faces. i smirked some more "so, are you going to tell me what that was all about this morning?" i asked them. Temari hit Kankuro and he mumbled

"we just never seen your hair straight before" i raised an eyebrow. that was it? my grumpy morning mood was because they had never seen my hair STRAIGHT BEFORE?! i growled and knocked them both on top of the head

"Jashin you two! why didn't you just say that?!" i growled before stomping over to my room. i sat on the bed and pulled out a book (not ichi ichi paradise) and read. the hours felt like minutes as they passed and soon enough it was Dark out. i pulled up my hair and walked out of the apartment. the stars were bright here, but not nearly as bright as they were back home. i walked through the seemingly empty streets of Konaha and hummed to myself. i found myself in the middle of a field, and i didn't know where. i was quite relaxed and then my hum began to form a song, and as the words formed in my mind I began to sing

"I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.

[Chorus:]
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better

'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.

[Chorus:]
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt something die
'Cause I knew that there was the last time, the last time!

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you.

[Chorus:]
I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt something die
'Cause I knew that there was the last time, the last time, oh, oh!

Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh" the wind blew and my hair swung out of the hold of its bands. i felt at peace at that second. someone behind me sighed and i turned to see Kakashi, leaning up against a tree. his eyes were closed and he was just standing there

"you have the voice of an angel" he murmured. i blinked and turned back to face the wind

"its part of the siren. a way to lure my prey to me..." i whispered, looking at the stars "what i wouldn't give to be able to go back before my birth and change it, to stop this curse" i continued "to learn what love is before its to late" i knew he was standing behind me to the side, staring at the stars that i was so encaptured by. he was silent. "what is Love?" i asked him out of the blue.

"Love? its the feeling you get for someone close to you, someone you'd die to protect, someone that would make you feel ontop of the world when you kiss. Love is when seeing that person with someone else makes you want to kill them, when all you ever need is that person to survive" he said quietly. i nodded and after a few moments of silence i said

"we aren't in love are we" it wasn't a question.

"no, I'm afraid we're not" he said back quietly. i nodded. the calm in this field with Kakashi was so serene.

"thank you" i whispered. a single tear rolling down my cheek as i stared at the sky. i was crying, but not out of silence, but of relief and joy, the fact that i can still learn how to love.

"for what?" he asked. his arm was now around my waist and i was leaning into him.

"for showing me that its all okay.... that i can.... open up.... that there is hope still" i whispered, my eyes finally looking up to meet his. he stared down at me, taking in the joy in my face, the tear that was caught on my cheek, and the small smile that graced my lips. he smiled then, pulled down his mask and kissed me gently, kindly, filled with warmth and comfort. a type of kiss i had never experienced before. he pulled away

"your welcome" he whispered. he took my hand and silently led me back to the village. i looked back at the spot we were standing and smiled. following Kakashi out of the Forest. Little did i know we were being watched.

Gaara's POV

i was sitting on the rooftops, watching the stars when i heard something above the sound of the wind. i knew that everyone in the village had heard it, due to the sudden calm. a voice, that rose high above everything, carried by the wind

" i let it fall.... my heart, and as it fell you rose to claim it......" i froze and stared out at the city in wonder. the voice sounded like Liirans. i followed it in silence "it was dark... and i was over" the voice was louder now i quickened my pace "until you kissed my lips and saved me...." i froze when i saw Liiran in the middle of a field. the wind blew her hair around her, and she stood there, staring at the stars, singing her heart out. my breath caught and i quickly hid myself. what is this feeling? i asked myself as she raised her hands to the sky

"i set fire to the rain! i watched it pour as i touched you face" she cried. my eyes were glued to her until i sensed someone familiar lean against my tree. i looked down and saw Liirans boyfriend Kakashi. he closed his eyes and seemed to be enjoying her music, and i calmed myself so i could do the same. when she was done she turned and Kakashi sighed

"you have the voice of an angel" he murmured. i wanted to kill him, i really did. i don't know why exactly, but i clenched my fists and tried really hard to listen to what they were saying over Shukakus roar in my mind

"its part of the siren. a way to lure my prey to me..." Liiran whispered. i heard pain and longing in her voice. the emotions she still held on to that i would never understand "what i wouldn't give to be able to go back before my birth and change it, to stop this curse to learn what love is before its to late" i saw Kakashi move so he was just behind her and stifled a growl

"what is love?" Liiran asked. i felt that pain in my heart and clutched at my chest in silence. i asked this question once, but that was so long ago that i had forgotten, that i no longer cared. i listened to every word that the man said to her and held my breath.

"we aren't in love are we?" Liiran said. i knew what was going on before even he did. a tear rolled down Liirans face as they talked and a small smile graced her lips. she thanked him for teaching her that there was still hope and i narrowed my eyes. how could she have grown so much in this week that has passed? i watched in horror as they kissed and she left with him. i felt a strange wetness to my cheeks and looked up at the sky. it wasn't raining. i jumped from the tree and pulled out a kunai, chopping the tree down till it lay shredded at my feet. i walked back the apartment and stepped in. Temari looked up at me, her mouth dropped

"were you crying?" she asked. i looked at her with a glare

"no" was all i said, before climbing up to my room and sitting on the bed in silence.
