Am I ready? No. Am I happy? No.. Do I want to leave my brother? No! SO why am I doing this? Because I need to be more powerful. I need more power, I was so weak that I couldn't protect gramps or Anyone! Or even myself! This village hates me. I hate them. And I am going to destroy it so that they understand how I feel.

I was walking home at night after shopping for Kunais and clothes. I rarely went shopping- but this was because I was leaving tomorrow. Tomorrow Night. Did I feel bad? Yes. Do I want to protect the leaf? NO. But I was going to miss everyone. I was going to miss EVERYBODY.

Neji. Hinata especially. Sakura-nee, Sasuke nii, Kakashi-Sensei, Shikamaru, Choji, Heck even Ino. Kiba, Shino (kind of),Definitely Nii-San. ESPECIALLY Nii-San. Heck she would even miss lee and Guy-Sensei's weirdness. Then there was that Gaara boy. She met him after the attack and they conversed quite well,She enjoyed his company. He understood her more than most, He knew what it was like to be hated and to hate back. The desire to destroy everything.

I Sighed as I placed the Kunais in my bag. I then went onto my roof and watched the stars. I Began to hum a soft tune with my arms behind my head. It was slightly cold but I honestly didn't care. It always feels cold, No matter how hot the day is.

"What are you doing here?" She turned her head towards the voice to see a familiar red haired boy.

"I could ask you the same thing" She replied. He walked over before laying next to her. The two sat in a comfortable silence for a few moments.

"Why did you come out here?" Naruko asked.

"I could not sleep" Gaara replied

"Oh."

"And you?"

"Same reason"

"Oh."

"..."

"..."

"Gaara. What is your dream now?" This question startled Gaara a little. He thought for a few moments before answering.

"Kazekage. I want to become Kazekage and protect my village." Naruko hummed and smiled.

"Gaara?"

"Yes?'
"Why? Why would you all of a sudden want to protect your village even after how they treated you?"

".... I know that they only saw the evil part of me. I want to prove I can be better, Better than the monster they see. When people fear something they resent it."

"Tch."

"You hold ill feelings towards Konoha?"

"Definitely."

"I see. Would you like to...Speak about it?" Gaara attempted to help her just as her brother helped him. Naruko Smiled brightly and turned her head towards him.

"Thank you for your concern but I'll Pass on the offer." She stood up as Gaara mimicked her. "I should get to bed. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Gaara nodded. "Oh and Gaara." She walked up to him and hugged him. He was shocked at first but soon accepted the warmth with a faint blush. "Thank you." She teleported away leaving the boy to his own thoughts.

'Your in love Brat.' The beast inside of him said. Gaara ignored him and teleported away.

Naruko woke up to her brother snoring and muttering something about ramen. Her thoughts drifted to last night and she felt her cheeks heat A little. Just a little'
