Two and a half days later_

"You must be lady y/n if I'm correct?" a cloud ninja approached myself, Gaara and Temari when we entered the hidden cloud. The village was very interesting to say the least.

Lady? Fuck off with that.

"Yes. Please, just y/n will do," I replied. The ninja nodded.

"Please follow me, Lord Killer B is beside himself with excitement," he told me before turning, Gaara grabbed my hand and I just smiled at him before kissing his forehead.

"See you if I survive this rhythmic encounter," I joked before following after the ninja.

°🥀°

"Uhm—are you sure we're in the right place?" I asked the ninja. He nodded. I sighed as I looked at the massive stage in front of me.

"Yeeeeeeee!" a loud voice echoed around as a rather strange looking man jumped down in front of me.

"You're y/n, right?" he asked loudly, "you helped me survive my fight, I'd like to thank you alright?"

"You must be Lord Killer B?" I asked, he nodded and smiled a massive grin at me.

"Indeed I am, Lord Killer B, as you see, that is me!" he rhymed rather weakly, but it amused me.

This is why he's one of my favourite characters. He's one that made me smile with his strange but really funny personality.

"You're quite interesting, Lord Killer B," I smiled at the man who pulled out a notebook and pencil and started scribbling furiously into the book with a proud smile before snapping the book shut and spitting out a rap. I listened to it, smiling, and bobbing my head as I listened.

This is kind of weird but fun.

"Impressive!" I clapped and smiled brightly. He shot me a thumbs up.

"You're pretty ok, I say, I could do this all day," Killer B kept rapping. I smiled.

"... yay!" I added on.

"Y/n," I turned to see Gaara, Temari, Lady Tsunade and an older appearing double of Shikamaru, Shikaku.

"Gaara oh! And Lady Tsunade!" I cleared my throat and greeted them, Tsunade's head tilted to the side.

"I don't believe we've met?" Tsunade looked at me confused. I smiled.

"We have met! Twice—or was three now? But that's not really enough to remember me, I suppose. However, allow me to introduce myself again. My name is f/n l/n," I introduced myself. She smiled and shook my hand.

"Ah yes, I remember. You didn't get stuck in our Pain attack, right?" she asked, I looked away sheepishly.

"Yeah... I did... But I'm fine," I replied before turning around to see Killer B walking away.

"It was a pleasure to meet you, yo!" he waved at me and I waved back.

"You too, Lord Killer B, I hope we meet again!" I smiled as he grinned back before running off screaming 'yeeeeeeeee' again.

"Time to go now, y/n," Gaara says. I nodded and stretched myself out to run again.

"It was nice seeing you again, Lady Tsunade, please excuse us now," Temari smiled at Lady Tsunade before the three of us sand ninja started walking away again.

"Looks like you made a new friend today, hm?" Gaara asked as we walked. I smiled and nodded.

"He's very interesting," I nodded, "I don't think I could stay with him longer than half a day at the longest though."

"Have to agree with you there," Temari nodded.

We all fell silent as we walked.

"Y/n, you never did tell us what life back in your other home actually was like," Temari broke the silence.

"Before I died?" I shot her a glare. She looked at me awkwardly.

"Yeah..." she nodded.

I looked away and frowned for a moment. What was it like?

Come on, memory, don't fail on me now.

"Well... it was... fun? Uh—I spent a lot of time fighting, skating or being with my friends," I told them, feeling almost as if I was guessing about my own life as I spoke before some information I was certain about came to mind, "my world wasn't peaceful and to be frank, I'm certain another war would've been coming around soon. But it was peaceful enough for me to have a great life, as short as it was."

"What are your parents like?" Gaara asked. I sighed.

Why are we asking about my old life right now?

"Well, you know, both dead. My Mother died when I was 5 or 6 years old and my Father died when I did. Maybe hours or even a day earlier?" I started, recalling the terrible memories before pushing them away. They're still so vivid still, "my Mother, from what I remember, was very kind. She was gentle and loved to play the... vi—a... music. She loved to play music. It's what inspired my Father to start a talent agency back at home. The one thing he could cling onto was music and he did. My Father was goofy, he did a bunch of random stuff but he and I were really close."

"How did your Mother die?" Temari asked.

"Car ride gone wrong. Drove herself into a body of water because something jumped in her... way," I replied with a light sigh and frown.

"It was a dog, no?" Gaara looked over at me with a frown too.

"A dog?" I looked at him confused.

"Yeah. Was that not what you told me. You know, during our ten questions thing when you first came here?" he asked.

Was it?

"Ah. Yeah, you're right," I nodded, "must be tired. Weird."

"Yeah..." Temari trailed.

"... weird," Gaara repeated.

Troubling...

Never mind that though, I really miss my Dad. If only my OC's version of my Dad wasn't so... not my Dad.

"Well after running for days, naturally anyone would be like that, right?" Temari asked, giving me a small nudge as she fell into step beside me. I just nodded.

"Yeah. Totally," I replied, pushing the memory of my death back away again as it threatened to haunt me again, "anyway, tell me about your parents. I don't know much about them."

Days later_
Sunagakure_

"Gaara—" I started before being cut off by his lips hitting mine roughly.

One hand slipped up the back of my shirt while the other cupped my cheek, forcing me to give in and stagger back into the wall of my room behind me. I kissed back before we stopped for air.

I don't know, there's something different in his eyes today?

He watched me for a moment before taking in a deep breath and looking at me with determination.

"Y/n... Will you marry me?" Gaara asked.

What?
