Sorry for the delay.

-Kimimaro's P.O.V-

I set up the tent for the night as Hiot-sensei strated his turn at watching over the camp. Reana sat there looking bored as she watched me. I had no idea why, but her stare distrubed me very much. Odd. I crawled into the tent and sat my things on my side and crawled onto my pallet.

Reana quickly followed and even though the tent was unusually large, she laid her bed not far from mine. I shook off the strange feeling and tried to sleep. After what must have been hours, I gave up. If I were back with Bretanie, we would have just finished our reading lesson.

A picture of her face sprang to the fore-front of my mind. I began to feel a slight burning in mys chest and wondered if this is what it meant to mis someone. I had never felt this way when HE had left me alone, even as a child.

My thoughts were interrupted by an arm sliding it's way around my waist, which was still very thin from my former days of malnutrition. I grasped the arm and gently placed it on Reana's stomach. I have known people who try to hold others in their sleep. Kabuto did this often.

Once again her arm waund it's way around me. I was almost certain that Reana-chan was not asleep. Her breathing was not that of the dreaming. When I turned once again to replace her limb, Reana was smiling at me. "You feel so cold Kimiaro-kun. Can I warm you up?", she asked, giving a lusty grin. I sighed in annoyance.

"I am not cold Reana-chan.",I said as he turned back around to go to sleep. Reana pouted. "But Kimiaro-kun, I want to!", she whined. "We do not always get what we want." I said, repeating what Bretanie had said to one of her friends when they were displeased.

I heard her get up and stomp out of the tent. The world went black and I entered the gentle blackness of sleep.

-Bretanie's P.O.V.-

I am very worried about Kimiaro, but Hito-sensei appeared very capable and everyone on the team seems nice. I tried to settle my worry as I began the Saturday job. Cleaning...ewww. I was just about to put away the instruments of torture a.k.a. cleaning supplies, when I saw that the door to THE ROOM was open. Strange, considering noone had been here to open it. I put my hand on the knob to shut it, when a draft pushed it open further.

I saw the room in all of it's dusty, unused glory and I felt ashamed. Momma would have hated to see her room in such a state. I covered my face with my sleeve and opened all of the windows to let it air our for a bit. I hadn't been in here for almost five years. Not since the sickness had taken her from me.

I was suddenly filled with the oddest urge to sob. A gentle wind carressed my cheek and I wiped my eyes and began to clean. Underneath all of the grime, my mother's scent was still prominent from the room's undisturbed existance. I washed the bedding, but left her clothing were it was, only dusting the abandoned cob-webs here and there.

My hand grazed one of the chests that were once used as bedside tables and I remebered my childhood. I had greatly loved to open all of Momma's chests and examine each of her treasures. She had been all over the world, all across the nations. There were pressed flowers from Suna, scupltures from a little town deep in rock country, exotic packets from tea country , and all manner of other things that fascinate a little girl.

I found my hand opening the chest and before I could stop myself, the lid was flipped back and all the treasures I remember were settled lovingly at the bottom. However, there was something that I was certain had not been there before. I grasped the piece of paper gently and read the heading.

It said, "The Last Will and Testament of Ai Salin."
