when i found you

she saw him and frowned

The soft breeze was sothing and calming in a strange way

shinki was normaly not the type to be sentimental

he was  cold and calculative in all  he did

he was proud and always takes the action that would bring pride to  suna

but somehow, today he could not bring himself to put up the cold wall around him even his iron sands were not enough berrier today

the bright rays of sunlight streamed down over the vast garden of flowers creating a charming aura

this garden had been a gift from his adoptive father

gaara was aware of   his love for flowers  and being the busy person he was did not have  as  much time as he wanted to with  his three adopted kids

so giving them everything they desired was the least he could do right

it was highly considerate for his father to have gone through so much effort for them

and it was  highly appreciated even if his pride worn't let it out

but it seemed even his garden wasn't enough to smoothen his mood today

he did not get it

could  it be that he was forgetting something

it was not like him at all

" is  something  wrong"

shinki did not even bother looking behind  him to know who it was

he had felt her presence even from a mile away

" mind your business yodo"

she tsked, walking in front of him blocking his view

" your my brother so obvousely you being like this is my business"

shinki glared at her

yodo shivered slightly at the cold glare he was giving her

" when i tell you to mind your business, i expect you to mind your business"

shinki let his eyes close signaling that whatever conversation they were having  was over

yodo sighed

her brother was realy something,  she  knew something was wrong with him heck it was so obviouse

he had been acting strange and it was so unlike him

sometimes he would suddenly go quite and lock himself in the his garden for hours on end

shinki was not realy one to talk much, he was rather reserved

but not this much, even that glint in his eyes the one he had whenever he thinks he has found a formidable opponent was missing

and all this strangness had started since they came back from konoha for the chunin exams

that was four years ago

that was way before konoha had sent her cousin along with the other four clans of konoha away

speaking of her cousin, she heared from uncle konkouro that he was back from training

it had  come as a surprise to them when they heared the leafe decision regarding the attack at the chunin exams

she had found it unreasonable that konoha would send out a bunch of children to who knows where

but it wasn't  her choice to make anyway, if konoha thought it was the best  choice to make then who was she to say otherwise

besides as much as she hated to admit it, those kids were strong

her cousin had actualy managed to eliminate her and that one akimachi girl what was her name...ho chocho had putting up a fight against shinki, she could remember the look on his face when the girl had managed to land a killer blow on him

ofcourse he had won at the end, but she could have sworn she saw him stealing glances towards her afterwards

she normaly just brushed it off, but she could not help but think otherwise the day they recieved news from konoha

she could hardly getover the dissapointment on his face but it was gone  as fast as it came

now that she thought well over it, it made so much sense now· but just to be sure

she grinned mischievously

" shinki？"

he glared at her

she took out  her ear plugs

" you know akimachi chocho？"

his breath hitched

she smiled wickedly

he missed a heartbeat· she knew it！

" YODO"

she dashed towards the  exit  but not before muttering loud  enough for him to hear

" i heared uncle konkouro say that they are back, father said were going to konoha to visit aunt tamari tomorrow, get ready~"

shinki froze

' they are back？ even...that person'

after four years

he was going to see her again
