Gaara hod nodded then Closed His eyes again.

Ryuke nodded slowly.

After several seconds, the sadness was gone, once more pushed into the back of his mind, and his calm indifference returned in his eyes.

With that he jumped off the window ledge and was gone.

(I know but ANBU don't just walk around, we pop in and out mysteriously)

Hinata peers into Gaara's room after knocking on the door.

H-hello?

Gaara had slowly re-opened His Eyes, Rotating His head He looked over at Hinata



Hello Hinata

Minutes Later, Kiba comes Barging in, not Noticing Hinata, Kiba Bumps into her.

Hinata squeaks, nearly falling over but she catches herself using the wall to keep her balance.

K-kiba!

Kiba shakes his Head, and Looks at Hinata, Laughing Nervously.


Heheh...Sorry Hinata, didn't see ya there

Energetic as always

Gaara glares at all this commotion then he Returns His gaze to the ceiling.

She lets out a sigh and nods.

I-it's ok, Kiba.

Hinata goes over to Gaara, smiling sweetly.

How are you?

Shino quietly slips through the door

When will feel good, Gaara?

Kiba Smiles, then Looks at Gaara.


Getting any better....?

Gaara returns His gaze to the group of 3 with a iotic expression


I've been better...I should be able to leave in one to two days
