/Temari's P.O.V.\
I couldn't hear anything anymore. Kankuro was trying to use his puppet by allowing it to go to the window. I had argued that Gaara would see it, then he would have one less puppet. He didn't listen, of course. "Asura's sleeping against him. He looks like he always has, but he's allowing her to sleep leaning on him like that," He explained. I tipped my head to the side and decided to take a peak myself. 1


I was soon on the roof, I hung myself upside-down and glanced to the window. Kankuro was right! Gaara was even resting himself. Their heads were against each other's, and Gaara's arm was wrapped around her shoulders! I fell from the roof and into Kankuro's arms. He set me down and grinned. "Lucky dog. Come on, let's get food," Kankuro decided, pulling me along. 2

/Gaara's P.O.V.\
I grabbed a lock of her brunette hair and slipped it around my fingers. It glittered in the light, and felt so soft, like silk. There was a heavy aroma of Strawberries from her hair. I closed my eyes and sat there for a moment, taking in her body heat and gentle breathing. She shifted a little closer to me, burying her face against my neck. I stared at her for several moments, her eyes opened. "Gaara-Sama?" She yawned. My fingers released her hair and lied lamely against her waist. She blinked a few times, rubbing her eyes. "How long was I asleep?"
"Almost an hour."
"Oh kuso! Ino's gunna kill me!" She paniced. I glared slightly. "Why is she going to kill you?"
"Not really, Gaara-Sa-er, Gaara. I promised her I would train sometime," She explained. I let her get up and fix her hair a bit. "Do you wanna come, Gaara?" She inquired carefully. I stood, glaring at the window. Temari was heading back with Kankuro. "Fine. I need to measure your power anyways," I responded. She spun on her heel and grabbed my hand. Her smile was gentle. "Alright, come on!" She giggled, dragging me out the door.3

/Asura's P.O.V.\
I was blushing madly when Gaara wasn't looking. We were holding hands, well, sorta. I was mainly doing the gripping on his hand. Poor Gaara, he's stuck with a girl like me for awhile. "Well, here we are!" I praised. He over looked the house with interest. "Your room is that one, right?" He questioned. I looked up to where he was gazing. "Yeah! How'd you know?"
"It's window is open, and I can smell Strawberry, like your hair."
"Oops!" I giggled. Ino came running and tackled me to the ground. "Your here!" She squealed. I coughed a few times, trying to breath. "Ino . . . Too tight of a hug!"
"Oh! My bad!" She gasped excitingly. I glanced around. Gaara was hiding within a tree. I smiled at him and helped Ino up. "Time for training!"
