Ino was very picky. "Nooo! I want peanut-butter!" She whinnied. I fell back into a chair from exhaustion. "Please Ino, just pick something!" I pleaded helplessly. She sighed and grabbed a few crackers, munching on them lightly. "Thank you!" I threw my arms in the air, she giggled. "Funny," She added. I snorted and worked my way to my bedroom. The whole Gaara thing was fresh in my head, but I was just too tired. When I opened the door to my room, a rush of air hit my face. I in-hailed the nature scents and fell onto my bed. "Ahh," I sighed in contentment. I even got to fall asleep.1

  /Gaara's P.O.V.\
I stared at Asura's sleeping body. Her chest built up, then fell as she breathed calmly. I stepped over to her and knelt next to her gentle face. Her eyelashes were relaxed against the milky skin that I slowly began to caress. Her delicate fingers began to curl against her palms. I kissed her on the lips. She stayed perfectly still. I pulled back and stared at her features. Shinning hair, stunning complexion, ripe lips . . . I brushed my index finger against her lower lip. Her tongue escaped her lips and licked them, along with my finger. My skin tensed, goosebumps ran down my spine. She settled herself on her side, facing me. I brushed her hair away from her face before leaving. 2

/Asura's P.O.V.-Dream\
"Gaara! Wait for me!" I cried. He continued walking away, his back facing me. Temari and Kankuro were following him, then they faded. "Gaara! Don't leave me! Please!"
"Why do you cry over them? There is no point." I recalled Gaara's words. I stopped running for my dream Gaara. He wasn't the real Gaara. I sat in the darkness of my dream and curled into a small ball. There was a warm hand on my head. I looked up to see Ino, she was smiling. "Wake up, Asura."3

/Awake\
I jolted up and nearly hit Ino. "Hey! Sorry if I disturbed ya! But mom wants ya down for dinner." She sighed before leaving the room. I leaned up and felt my lips and temple, there was a warm tingle around those areas. I shrugged and skipped down the staircase. "Lord-Hokage?" I asked. Ino smiled to me. "He's joining us for dinner, so is Konahomaru, his grandson."
"Ah," I nodded and sat next to Ino. "There is also a matter I would like to speak with you, Asura, after dinner," The Hokage noted. I nodded and offered Konahomaru a bowel of potatoes.
