A/N: Been a LONG time, eh? I'm truly sorry, but now I'm back! I'll make sure to update more, been busy, lazy, and bad case of writers block... enjoy this bad chapter...

12:58 p.m.

I see the ship going farther and farther out of my sight, my heart pounds with agony and tears cover my cheeks with its cold streams. I cry out for it to stop, to bring back Gaara… my love. But it doesn't hear my cry, my desperate plea. So I stop, crying my heart out and could believe that I was so weak to let Gaara go out of my reach. Only if I was stronger…

Riding through the snow, I see a woman crying… so I stop my levitating skateboard and step down and ask what's wrong. I jumps and I couldn't help but jump too! I mean, she scared me as much I scared her! She turns to me, then says, "Th-Th-Th-They took him! They took Gaara!" My eyes widen from behind my sunglasses.

"WHO TOOK GAARA?!"

"WHO TOOK GAARA?!" He asked, and I sniff. I told him what happened, and he takes of his sunglasses. He announces himself to be Uzumaki Naruto, and I was shocked that Naruto came at a good yet bad time! I explain what happened, and the secret message Gaara tried to tell me. Naruto's eyes were like blue flames… burning with rage and anger! He grabs my hand and we rush through the forest, holding his skateboard under his right pit. He mumbles something through his gritted teeth, and I see a big shack that can hold three football fields and that seems really old. He takes me inside, and inside this shack… is a ship big enough to carry eleven passengers. He looks at me and says, "Gaara and I have been friends since we were twelve, I knocked some sense into that fool and now here we are! That damn father of his, he only wants to control him is all!" I make a sad face, and he makes a sigh.

"I'm sorry, but don't worry… we'll get him back! Believe it!"

I look at him; his eyes are now full determination instead of full rage. Anger still lingers in his eyes, but right now… he hurries inside the ship and I had to make sure we had supplies. I look around to find anything useful, but Naruto grabs me by the arm and makes me enter the ship...

I get Bara inside my ship called "The Hokage's Village". I get on my captain's chair and press some controls, then says to Bara, "Hey, I going to have to pick up three other people in order to make this mission to work. Are you ready?" Bara nods to me, "Thank you Naruto." She says to me, making me smile with pride. I will get my friend out of that hell hole with his father! BELIEVE IT!
