Gaara walked along Ino under the sun. He took a lot of glimpses of her that day, he was amazed by her beautiful hair which shined in the sun. He suddenly took her hand, afraid that she would refuse, but she just held it tighter. A warm feeling came up inside Gaara: he was happy.

"I think whe should go through the parc, we'll get to the beach faster." said Gaara.

"Um, ok!" answered Ino, smilling at him.

So they went at the parc, still holding each other's hands. Kiba, Lee, Neji and Shikamaru were playing soccer there, Hinata, Tenten and some other girl were watching the match. Gaara and Ino approached them and sat by them on the grass.

"Oh, hi Ino, and Gaara! Happy New Year!" said Hinata.

"Hey! How's it going?" said Tenten,"This is my cousin, Musica, she's from the part of the sound village that's actually friends with the leaf village. Lemme tell you something, she has a crush on Kiba!" 

"No, I don't!" said Musica, blushing. "I... I... I just like Akamaru, that's his name right?, he's so adorable!"

"Okaaayy" said Ino, visibly bored. "Gaara and I gotta go, so see you guys one of these days! Bye!"

"Score!!!" yelled Lee.

"Hey Lee!! That doesn't count! You kicked Akamaru! I'm gonna kill you jack*ss!"

The match ended in a tie, Lee and Neji who lived in the same street left together. Lee's clothes were riped apart by Kiba's claws.

Gaara and Ino finally got to the beach, there they changed and on the sand, Gaara's element. He made a incredibly gigantic sand castle. They both entered to look around. Gaara made a sand rose and gave it to Ino. Ino climbed to the top of the sand castle to have a good of the surroundings. There, she lost her balance and fell from the top of the castle.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Help me!!!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" screamed Ino.

"I'm coming!" said Gaara.

Gaara jumped, catched Ino in mid-air and landed flawlessly on the sand. 

"Oh Gaara! Thank you!" said Ino still in Gaara's arms.

"You should be more carefull bec..." Gaara didn't finished his sentence because Ino was kissing him. So they kissed for a while and decided to go back home. They took the same way through the parc, holding hands and confessing their love.

 When they arrived at Ino's house, they stopped holding hands.

"Well, this is it! So I guess, I'll see you tomorrow." said Gaara.

They kissed once more and seperated. Gaara took the road to his house, alone once again but happy this time.
