Okay so the inspiration for this story comes from my obsession with Gaara. He is just so friggin hot…..eh, well, I decided to write a fic about a girl who is as obsessed as I am! So, please read this and review. I’m okay with flames because this is my first Naruto fic.

Disclaimer: Do I own Naruto? No! Do I own this story? YES! Do I love Gaara? YESSSS!

Prologue

The mission was simple enough.

Go into the village, get the scroll, get out undetected.

Easy. But…

I goofed…

Leaping from rooftop to rooftop, I noiselessly approached the village center. Pausing to take in my surroundings, I took note of the shrine in the center of the village, where the scroll was located. After checking to see if anyone was near, I slipped down to the ground and approached the shrine. On reflex, I checked the ground around the structure and the shrine itself for traps. I was positive there would be none. As I suspected, no traps. I was in and out of the shrine in less than 10 seconds with scroll. Slipping it into my jacket, I prepared to leave when I heard it. A thin, high-pitched wailing coming from the shadowed area behind the shrine.

Sliding a kunai silently into my hand, I slowly approached the noise. As my eyes adjusted to the shadows, I made out a bundle of cloth on the ground. The bundle shifted and moved. As I got closer, I realized the bundle was a baby. Moving even closer, I leaned over and peered into the cloth. A pair of emerald eyes glowed up at me. The baby was an infant, with a bright, bright shock of golden-red hair. She’d obviously been abandoned and left to die. Waving her little hands at me, she nearly hit me in the face. I jerked backwards and stumbled. What am I still doing here? I thought. The Hokage needs this scroll. What was it? Something to do with the Kyuubi... I stood up and moved as if to leave. The baby began to wail again. If she doesn’t shut up, I’ll be discovered! I turned back around and looked at her again. She stopped crying instantly and began to squeak.

“SHH!” I whispered. She was silent. I moved again to go, and the baby began to cry again. This time, when I turned around again, she didn’t stop. She sobbed and stretched her little baby arms out to me.

She wants me to pick her up? I wondered. I’d better, or she’ll wake the whole village! Far off, I heard the tramp of many feet, accompanied by shouts and yells. Too late...

I’d been discovered...

Scooping the baby into my arms, I leapt up onto the roof of the shrine and from there, to the rooftop of a nearby house. The infant girl snuggled quietly against me, as I escaped the Sand Village...
