4:53 a.m.

Hakujōna makes a tad smile, "Well, well… if it isn't Sasori!" He says, making Fukushū scoff under her breath. Sasori looks at Hakujōna, then Fukushū. She looks back at him, her blue eyes staring into his dull brown ones. Fukushū looks away, getting irritated by Sasori as much has Gaara annoys her. She makes a face and thinks, I have a bad case with redheads, don't I? Fukushū turns to Hakujōna, "I'll see you later, I better get home and rest."

"Home? Rest?! But Fukushū… don't you have insomnia?"

Fukushū stops, making the wind the only thing audible. Sasori eyes Fukushū, but asks Hakujōna, "In what relationship do you have with her, Hakujōna?" The blonde turns to the redhead, making him eye him with cold green eyes. He then says, "We're just friends, Sasori." Sasori nods slowly, then turns around and walks away. Hakujōna makes a huff through his nose and says to Fukushū, "We'll talk later." He then catches up to Sasori, making Fukushū turn her head slowly.

Sasori is rather suspicious, and what's up with Hakujōna? Hmm…

Fukushū walks the opposite direction and makes a sigh. She looks up at the bright moon in the cold dark sky of Konoha, feeling at peace being alone in the quiet streets where not even a mouse stirs among the sidewalks. Fukushū blinks at the moon, and keeps walking along the street of emptiness. This doesn't bother her, she's used to being alone for quite some time until she meet Hakujōna at the age of thirteen… having to be alone for eight years takes a toll on someone. Of course, she knows she doesn't know the real meaning of solitude as of Naruto, the redhead she wishes to kill, and some Uchiha she can't remember well. Fukushū closes her eyes, trying to remember her family's massacre when she was but five of age.

Tap, tap, tap!

Fukushū turns around and quickly draws out her Buster Sword, looking around to see who or what that was.

Tap, tap, tap!

"SHOW YOURSELF!"

She cries, looking every which way she can. Fukushū makes a face of anger, looking around… ready to strike anyone or anything that comes across her path! She turns behind her, to see a cat with white fur and red eyes… simply staring at her. Fukushū makes a face, and slowly puts up her sword. She goes up to the cat, and the cat hisses at her with passion and runs away from her. Fukushū makes a dreadful sigh, knowing that the animals hate her for some reason. She doesn't know why, but they always run away from her. Even loving animals get away from her and head for a different person, making Fukushū not surprised that the white cat would run away from her. Fukushū stands straight up again, and keeps walking to anywhere the street takes her… or which way to cross on her own without leaving the village. Fukushū hears the echoing of her own footsteps stepping onto the road, making her feel slightly sad.

"I don't really need someone, but it's always nice to have a friend around once in a while… right?"

She questions herself, since she does have Hakujōna. Fukushū finally looks up to see she's come to an ally, making her turn around to walk somewhere else. But she stops, and looks at the man before her that makes the whole world stop for a split second. That split second was enough to make her blood race and boil with anger, making the person in front of her sense her instant rage.

"Why are you so angry every time you see me?"

"That's need to know until further notice!"

"Why is it "need to know"? Do you wish to kill me?"

This strikes Fukushū, making her make eye contact to the Kazekage. He keeps staring at her with emotionless eyes, making her huff at him.

"You did something to me in the past that I can't forgive, let's just leave it at that."

Fukushū says to him, making him look down with painful eyes. He then looks up at her, sadness has taken over his sea green eyes and his arms slightly coming loose. He closes his eyes, and opens them to see the fury in Fukushū's neon blue eyes. He looks down again, "What did I do, that made you hate me?" He asks, making Fukushū recall her family's death. But, some of the details are a blur to her… making her quite unsure now that she's actually thinking about it.

No, he's the one! He was bloodthirsty enough to do such a thing! It was him…

Fukushū looks at him with pure hatred, not going to swallow his guiltiness and discard her revenge. She goes up to him and says with pure fury laced with bitter calmness, "You killed my family, my dear parents and baby brother. You killed them all but me!" Fukushū makes sure she doesn't reveal her true intensions, doesn't tell him that she'll end his very life… making sure he suffers before dying a painful death. Gaara looks up, and says, "I remember the killing, but I'm not who I was long ago. That person is dead and gone, now I am the Kazekage of Sunagakure. Protector and peace-maker of my village and those closest to me. I understand your anger towards me, but I hope in the near future that you accept who I am now and forget the past." He turns around, and walks away. Fukushū makes a huff, and thinks, Who thinks I'm that forgiving?! He's underestimating me, thinking I'm one of those people who'll just simply forget the harsh memory he's bestowed on me! No, I'll soon show him that some people don't change and stick to their word! She gets out of the ally and walks toward wherever the road takes her…

8:00 a.m.

Konoha's front gate

Hakujōna smiles, waving good-bye at the Kazekage's fellow friends and the Hokage herself. He then turns his gaze at Sasori, who just plainly stares at the Konoha ninja. Hakujōna then turns his gaze to the background of the ninja of the Leaf, trying to spot a certain female. He makes a sigh, thinking, That's a shame she's not coming with us, I could've gladly-

His thoughts were interrupted by the Hokage, "Kazekage, you're recruit is sure to be coming any second now." She says, smiling. Hakujōna makes a face of confusion, and turns to the Kazekage. Hakujōna wonders what's going on, wondering who the new recruit is. Suddenly, they all look up to see a certain black haired woman standing on the top of the gates of Konoha. She jumps down and lands on all fours, without hurting herself. She gets up and turns to the Hokage, bowing in respect.

"What is your will, Hokage-sama?"

"Fukushū, you shall be going with the Kazekage. I'm sure your skills are sure to help out Suna."

Hakujōna makes a sleek grin, but turns his grin back to a shockful face as Fukushū turns around to see the Kazekage. She stares at him, but says to the Hokage, "Lady Tsunade, I don't wish to go with them." Tsunade makes a face, "And why not? You wanted to be a ninja at a late notice, and now this is your chance to a ninja." Fukushū eyes the Kazekage with bitter hate, and replies, "Fine, I shall go along with them as commanded…"
