Yoshinos POV

It's been about three days since we started our search for Yoru. And in those three days we have found a couple on Hentas minions who so kindly after some....brief....questioning gave us the location to where Henta might be.

"Yoshitsune how much further?"

Taking a quick glance at my dark haired friend I ducked to avoid an oncoming branch.

"600 meters. We'll be there shortly if we pick up the speed."

Giving him a small nod I started to jump faster. Anger started to fuel through me as I jumped through the forest.

"Hey! Hey! Yoshino! Slow down!"

I stopped on a thick branch and looked back. Slightly sweat dropping realizing how far I had left them behind. Waiting a minuet or two they all reached the tree I was in.

"I know you want to go and rescue Yoru as much as any of us. But when we get there what will we do? What's the plan?"

Sakura, who had spoken, gave me a small smile.

"She's right Yoshino. We can't just run in blind. That's suicide!"

I clenched my fist and gave out an exasperated sigh.

"I know the consequences for running in blind. But I don't care if I get myself killed! I will do anything I can to get Yoru back even if it cost my life!"

They all stayed silent after that. Only the sound of the wind blowing through the trees disturbed the tense silence that hovered over us all.

"Do you really feel like that?"

I looked over to the owner of the voice. Gaara was looking through the trees, the wind moving his red hair in every direction.

"Yes. I do."

He slowly closed his eyes than reopened them to look at me. Sadness, that was all I saw in his eyes.

'He must really have feeling for Yoru. ugh. I know what I have to do.'

"But. I'm not doing this just for me."

Looking into Gaaras eyes I continued.

"I'm doing this for you Gaara. I understand the feeling that you both share. And that I'm only coming between that. As much as I really do love Yoru, I know for a fact that she loves you more."

Looking away from the red head I looked up at the sky. The sunlight streaming between the leafs on the trees.

"As much as I don't like the fact that the love of my life doesn't feel the same way as me and wants to be in the comfort of another man. I'll have to accept that."

Gaara gave me a grateful look after I finished.

"T-that was-"

"So beautiful!"

Kai and Sai were now both sniffling wiping the tears running down their faces.

"You both are idiots."

Yoshitsune looked at them as he anime sweat dropped and crossed his arms.

We all gave a light laugh before getting to business.
