It was a dark stormy night, Harjuna was running. It looked like as if away from someone. She had came from the Mist village. She was injured and badly. She had nothing but cuts and bruises. Most of her wounds were deep. I need to get them off of my tail. She thought to herself narrowing her dark blue eyes.
She then went to the nearest place to hide out. She had suddenly crashed through the window of a young ninja's home. Though she was unaware anyone was even home.

She was sitting on the floor holding her side. A trail of blood followed her to the floor. She stayed away from the window so the people who were after her wouldn't know where she was and would give up on trying to find her. Her breath was heavy and unsteady. When the men who were following her were no longer in sight she sighed with relief.

((the wait was fine ^^ I'm not impatient. Btw: my character is Gaara.))
Gaara studied the young girl that had smashed through his window. She looked horrible. Her hair was messed up and she was covered in deep wounds. He spoke quite loudly. His voice was gruff and emotionless. "You'll have scars if you don't get help with those." Temari stepped up behind him. She had gotten quite skilled with medical justu and was willing to help the girl. Gaara went to the window and covered it with sand. He heated it up with his chakra and it turned to thick glass. He then went over to the pantry and got a broom. He sweeped up the glass and then mopped up the blood. "Who were you running from?" he questioned her

[okie dokie n.n] When she heard the boy's gruff yet emotionless voice she looked up seeing him. She didn't even know this was somebody's home or if this was someone's home. She just needed a place to hideout. "I-Im sorry i had intruded." She said in a soft but yet a guilty tone. "To be honest I'm not entirely sure who they were. But they attacked my village. excuse my rudeness. I'm Harjuna. I'm from the Mist village." She told Gaara. "I probably should leave. I wouldn't want anyone to get involved in the mix." She said standing up but she was still a bit weak as she stumbled a bit. He could tell she was a devoted young ninja who wanted to protect people.

Gaara laughed darkly and Temari simply smirked. "It would be worse for them if I got involved then it would be for me." he chuckled sounding slightly evil. He smiled at her. "Maybe you should stay here a while." he didn't wait for an awnser from her. He simply looked at his sister. "Temari. Get a pad and lay it on your floor. Also blankets and pillows." he barked the orders at the older girl. "This girl, Harjuna, will be staying in your room. You understand me right?" Temari nodded and went up to her room to do as Gaara had asked. He looked the girl over. She looked prettier now that Temari had healed her deepest wounds, but her hair and clothes were still horrid. Gaara picked her up and set her down on the bathroom counter. He got a towel and a wash rag. He then got some of Temari's pajamas and laod them out for Harjuna to wear. He went and got Temari to bathe Harjuna. She was still to weak to do so herself. Temari smiled brightly at the girl and Gaara went to finish setting up her sleeping arrangements. Temari then stripped the girl and gently washed her beaten body. She also washed her hair and combed it out. Then she conditioned it. She dried her off and then dried and flat ironed her hair. She helped her into the clothes. She was quite pretty. "So do you think you'll like it here?" Temari asked sweetly.

Harjuna was very surprised that these two were helping her. She knew she could trust them. Even though she knew those men would still be after her, she could at least have a good night's sleep knowing she was safe unlike the other nights. After Temari had changed her clothes, washed and combed her hair she looked up to Temari. "thank you." She said in a sweet tone. When she heard Temari ask if she would like it here she didn't know how to respond at first. "I hope I do. I've never been out of my village unless it was for a mission. But I've never had a huge mission before only small tasks. So I am hoping I will like it here." She told her. "Thank you both for helping me. I did not actually expect to land in someone's home to be honest. I was planning to be in an abandoned place. I guess i really wasn't paying attention to what i was doing. So I'm sorry that i broke the window before." She said sounding very sincere. "This is the sand village correct? It's more beautiful then I imagined." She said. She had obviously heard storied about the sand village.

Temari smiled. "Yes this is our home" she took th pretty young girl to sit in the living room. It was raining hard outside and Temari was glad that Gaara had repaired the window. She looked to Harjuna. "So what's it like in your village?" Suddenly a half naked Gaara entered the room. He wore only his boxers and was carrying a glass of water. His eyes widened as he saw Harjuna sitting there and he dropped the glass in suprize. A dark blush covered his pale face. He hadn't expected them to be in here. He felt naked. He regained his senses and wrapped sand around his body in the shape of a large cloak. He then got up all of the glass and went into the washroom. Temari giggled. When Gaara came back he was in pjs. They were made up of shorts with little Kunui on them and a dark red sleeveless shirt. He sat across from the girls and listened to their conversation.

"Well my village is as it sounds. Its usually very misty. Their are quite a lot of mysterious but friendly people there." She told temari with a smile. When Gaara came in half naked, Harjuna's face flushed bright red as well. Though she thought it was cute how Gaara reacted. She knew he probably didn't think they would be in the room. When Gaara came back Harjuna smiled at him. "You know back at my village i don't exactly have friends and you both have been so nice to me. I want to thank you so much. Is there anything i can do to pay you both back?"

Gaara shook his head. "No. Were nice because it's the right thing to do. If it had been either of us that was in danger we would want someone to care for us." and because your pretty. Gaara added the last part in his head. She was pretty her hair was shiny and had three colors. Blue, purple, and pink. Her eyes were brown and glimmered. He felt his face go hot with a light pink blush. He hoped they thought it was just hot in here. He got up and turnned on the air, then sat back down.

She nodded. "I see. Well thank you." She smiled. She twirled her hair a bit as she looked at Gaara. Noticing he turned the air conditioning on she tilted her head. "You feeling okay?" She asked placing her small petite hands on his forehead to check if he had a fever. "Hm..you do feel a little warm and your face looks a little pink." She said. She wondered if he was getting sick. "maybe you should Lay down."

Gaara's face went from pink to dark red at her touch and he heated up even more. "Y-yeah maybe I should lay down for a bit." he leaned back on the couch, his body as stiff as a board. He could feel embaresment, and that made him blush darker.

She smiled at him. She thought he looked very cute when he was embarrassed. "So..what's it like in the sand village?" she asked trying to start a conversation between either of the siblings. She thought they were very nice and she wanted to get to know them better as well as get to know what the village itself is like as well. "I've heard great things about the sand village."

Temari smiled. "It's nice here. It's kind of hot at times, but it's still nice." Gaara merely acted sick and laid there silently. He could feel that his blush was still there and figured shed think he had a fever or something. Temari supersede a giggle.

"sounds nice to me." Harjuna said with a smile. She stretched a bit yawning. "Well I think I'm going to get some sleep. I feel really tired now." She said standing up. "Good night to you both. Hope you sleep well tonight." she said with a smile before going to Temari's room getting under the covers in her bedding arrangement that Temari and Gaara arranged for Harjuna.

Gaara was relived that the akward miments were over and went up to the roof to see the stars. Temari went with Harjuna. "So, do you have any family?" Temari asked the sleepy girl. She wanted to know about this stranger and what her life was like. She seemed nice and sweet:

She shook her head. "No. My parents abandoned me when i was only a baby. Since then my grandmother had been taking care of me. Though when she died i was left to defend myself. So you could say I have been on my own since the age of 5." She said looking up at the ceiling. "i didn't even know if my parents had to abandon me because they had no choice or because they didn't want me. I've questioned myself about this my whole life. I've felt like I was a stranger to myself..I didn't know who I was where i came from even."

Temari smiled sadly. "Gaara has a similar story only, his dad tried multiple times to kill him. His mother died in labor and everyone hated him or feared him. Even Kankuro and I stayed away from him until he was nearly 13. He was scary. He still is in a way. He could kill and never be harmed. It was his demon. He had been tormented by his demon since birth. He can't sleep and almost never eats anymore. That demon will keep him alive no matter if he eats or not, so to him it doesnt matter. It's sad really. Maybe the two of you can help each other heal old wounds."

"I see" she said softly. "I will everything I can to help him." She said in a devoted tone. "He seems like a kind guy underneath it all. I don' think i have ever met such kind people as you two after my grandmother died." She said with a smile. "Even if I do have a chance to go home..i don't think I would want to because at my village you both aren't there." She said softly.

Temari giggled." Wait til you meet Kankuro. You'll like him a lot." and then as if on cue Kankuro walked in with a limp, lifeless Gaara in his arms. He laughed. "Looks like it's his time of the month." Kankuro giggled at his joke. Temari rolled her eyes and explained to Harjuna. "Gaara passes out about once or twice a month. It gives his body rest and since it's unwilling, the demon can't take his body." She grabbed Gaara out if Kankuro's arms and laid him on her bed. "He also likes to be with me when he wakes up. He feels vunruble if he awakes alone, and he doesn't want to wake up to Kankuro's face." Temari smirked.

Harjuna sat up and nodded. "I see" She said nodding. "Also its nice to meet you Kankuro. I'm Harjura." she said with a smile. She looked over to Gaara. "He looks so peaceful when he's asleep." she said softly. She couldn't help but to look over at Gaara. He just looked so peaceful and handsome when he slept and even when he wasn't sleeping. She just hoped she could do something to help him. She looked like she was trapped in her own thoughts as she gazed upon Gaara. She sighed a bit laying back

Kankuro smiled and waved at Harjuna. "Nice to meet you as well." He then left and went to his own room. Temari ran her hand through Gaara's silky, scarlet hair. He didn't stir. She noticed Harjuna staring at him. "His pretty when he sleeps huh." Temari smiled. She also looked at the boy laying on her bed. He looked calm and sweet. He also looked kind of venerable. Temari laid down completely and Gaara gently snuggled into her. Temari laughed. "He always does that when he's asleep. She reached up and turned off the single lamp.

"Yeah" she said nodding. When Temari turned the lights out, Harjuna thought she should try to get some sleep. She layed on her side so her back was facing Temari as she closed her eyes. She had many thoughts running through her head. She wished she could just turn off her mind and just rest and actually relax. Soon She had began to drift after an hour or so. Throughout the night she slept pretty well besides tossing and turning. When it was morning, Everyone seemed to be awake first except her. She rubbed her eyes sleepily. She stood up putting her long hair into a pony tail going into the kitchen.

Gaara got up around noon and noticed everyone was in the kitchen. He waves to Harjuna. "Hey." he said sleepily. There was a girl about five sitting at the table beside Harjuna. She was blonde like Temari and had seafoam eyes like Gaara. She had be silent until now. She had a small panda plushie in her arms. When she saw Gaara she screamed with delight and ran to him. "PANDA!" she yelled, dropping the panda plush. Gaara's eyes widened. He grinned happily. "Lilla." he said happily. The girl jumped into his arms and squealed. She then feed him some toast. "Let me feed you panda." She screamed. He ran squeeing.

Harjuna didn't know who the little girl was but she assumed her and Gaara were close by how they acted around each other. Harjuna felt a bit out of place since she didn't really know anyone in the sand village except for Gaara, Temari and Kankuro. Though she barely knew any of them. Hanjura was quiet and ate her breakfast quietly. Harjuna was usually quiet and felt awkward when she was around people she didn't know. She's felt out of place almost her whole life so she had been use to being quiet.

Gaara smiled and hugged the girl. She was sitting on his lap. Gaara noticed Harjuna was silent so he started conversation. "Hey do you want to go on a tour of our village after brunch?" he figured since it was noon breakfast want the word.

"s-sure." Harjuna said softly. She did want to take a look around the village since she was probably going to have to stay in the sand village for a while. Harjuna continued eating her breakfast. After she was done she cleaned up after herself. She didn't want Gaara and the others to do everything for her. Even if she was badly injured yesterday she wanted to pull her own weight around here still.
