Yuki and I ran through the woods. Our paws pounding on the soft vegetation laying all around us. I had learned a while back that I could transform into Yuki without a scratch. Just make my self smaller and whala! A snow leopard in the middle of summer. That's not standing out too much...is it?

"Concentrate Suzuka! You're losing your prey." Yuki growled at me as she chased after her rabbit. Right. I let Yuki out earlier, since no harm's going to be done by doing that. I forgot to feed her so after I finished talking to the Hokage, I brought her out to hunt. Pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Oooh! Maybe I can use attacks like Yuki does! I chased after my rabbit as it swerved around the trees looking for a burrow to hide in. I focused chakra in front of my mouth and saw ice forming. Yay! I guess I can!

I shot the ice at the rabbit, and with one hit it froze and lay on the ground. I ran up to it panting heavily and took a sniff while I lay on the ground.  All that running has gotten me tired. I don't know how Yuki does it. "Are you done here?" I looked up to see Yuki to her her holding her rabbit in her jaws without any signs of exhausation coming from her.

"See Yuki. Even I can catch something as simple as a rabbit." She sniffed it and cringed at the smell. "You over froze it. Now its hard on the outside and the inside. You can't eat it now. Such a waste of good prey." She shook her head in a dissapointing matter. "All I used was ice to freeze it's movement."

"That was my  ice that you used, wasn't it." She growled stepping down to my level. I shivered at how her eyes were practically boring into my soul. "Yea. It was. Why?" I could see no harm in using her powers. "My ice is nothing like the normal one. It is designed to freeze completely. Inside and out. It's an instant kill as well." She sighed as she sat down and started eating. "You can try to catch another one. One rabbit is not going to fill me that easily."

"How many more?" I dreaded the answer even before she said it. "Like a thousand or so." She saw my face and chuckled. "One more is fine." I raced back into the woods and stopped a couple feet away from a boy who was sitting with his back leaning against the tree. I walked up to him cautiously. He looked up and me and I froze, staring at him in curiously.

This boy had red hair and captivating teal eyes. The most beautiful pair I have seen all my life and one so familiar I can't miss it. It's Gaara! The cute and handsome boy that looks like a panda and becomes an awesome Kazekage in the future that saves his people until the show was still updating at the fourth ninja war when he was fighting Madara.

 He held out his hand to me and I slowly came forward until I was in front of him. I sniffed his hand for a couple seconds before I touched it with my nose in greeting. He then started petting my head. I purred as I snuggled up to him and lay down, enjoying the nice feeling of being with my anime crush. I was about to doze off before I remembered Yuki's rabbit. I got up quickly startling the boy and sniffed around the air for any faint smell.

I didn't have to do much, cause just my luck. A juicy looking squirrel was coming down the tree for nuts. I slowly walked around its tree, keeping downwind so it can't smell me, then I pounced on it, killing it with a quick bite. I held my head up in satisfaction just as Yuki came up behind me. The boy stared at us with curiosity. I gave Yuki the squirrel and she picked it up before she went back to finish her quiet meal.

I walked back up to the boy and sat in front of him. My tail swished side to side happily. Maybe from the fact that I finally caught something for once in my life. "My name is Suzuka. What's yours?" I asked him. He stared at me with a shocked face before replying. "Gaara." Well. Its not everyday you see talking animals, except if it's ninja animals. Or tailed beasts.

"Well. It's nice meeting you Gaara." I bowed and left after we talked for a while. It was interesting to hear he would like to talk to me sometime. My otaku heart fluttered from getting a chance to talk to him. I guess that's a good thing? "Ready to go back?" Yuki asked as she buried the bones under a heap of soil. I nodded and we ran back to the village, making sure I kept up with her so I wouldn't get lost. Cause she left me last time which was a few hours ago.

When we got to the village, Yuki dispersed into chakra and went back into the seal. I transformed back into a human and checked to see if my clothes were on. Yes! They were. I walked into the village and bought some dango before walking to the house the Hokage assigned for me. But as soon as I passed the ramen shop I heard a loud voice calling my name. "Suzuka-chan! Let's eat ramen!!" I looked behind me to see Naruto come up and grab me by the arm, then he dragged me into the shop with him. He ordered at least twenty bowls of ramen while I only ordered five.

After I finished eating, I thanked Naruto. For some reason, he insisted on paying for me. Since he felt sorry for dragging me her. I argued about money and how you should spend it wisely, like how I spend a hundred just to play a raffle. In the end he paid and I left thanking him over a million times before heading off. I don't know what his secret is, but if he eats too much ramen the shop will be robbed of its ingredients by Naruto. If not, it's gonna be by me. Hehehe.

But all I thought about was that boy. Gaara. Underneath his hard surface I saw sadness he kept inside himself just like the anime had portrayed him. He was lonely. He was hated. All he wanted was to be loved. But no one gave it to him, so he learned only to love himself. I listened to his whole life story, but I didn't get a chance to tell him mine. I listened and put my opinions when I could. He listened to what I had to say about it. And he agreed with me. I can't believe he trusted me, an animal, enough to tell me about himself.

Maybe when I see him next time. I can help him with anything he wished. The first thing on mylist is. Become friends with him, and then...help him make friends. I never thought I'd see him so soon.
