Dance of the Sands

When lines are crossed in the name of love nothing can stir the sand more. Young Akina and her constant companion Yasu have only ever dreamt of freedom; freedom to be who they want and chose how to live and love. Taken from a life she had never known and forced into servitude by the Akatski, a band she would have once called her family, she and Yasu have never known the true meaning of love and friendship. Similarly the young leader of the Sand has made leaps and bounds in the few years since he took the role of Kazekage, but still something was missing. All that changes when their two worlds collide. In this story of love, loss, and the courage to know the difference between the two both Akina and Gaara find what they are looking for in the most surprising place-eatchother.
