Chapter 4: Full Moon

"Will this room be alright for the girl?" the guard asked Mera.

"Yes, it'll so." She replied. Then she pushed Yukinko in, gave Yukinko her bag,
told her to be good and was off to her own room. Yukinko looked around the room. It
was quite big with a cabinet for clothes, a huge bed, a desk and chair set, a carpet on the
floor and two windows to let the light in.

She walked over to the window. 'A full moon tonight.'

=On the roof=

Sand. Everywhere he turned he saw sand. Suddenly, a figure was in front of him.
'Who's that?' He began approaching the figure. She smiled at him. "Gaara."

It was the woman in the picture. 'Ka-san. Ka-san!' But as soon as he touched her
she turned to sand. Gaara opened his eyes in shock. He didn't fall asleep. He was sure of
it. He just relaxed for a while when that, that, 'dream' hit him. 'Did I have a dream?'

He looked up to the sky a full moon was out tonight. The moon. It always gave
him this weird feeling when it was full. Gaara looked down and saw the bear still in his
hands. He hadn't let it leave his side since Yukinko gave it to him. He looked down at the
village that hated him. His eyes were beginning to tear.

"Are you giving up?" A small timid voice said to him, stopping him from crying.
Gaara turn to his side and saw Yukinko. He was shocked at first but calmed down.

"Are you giving up?" Yukinko said, her green eyes looking at him questioningly.

"W..what do you mean?" Gaara asked wiping the tears from his eyes.

"Crying. You're crying. So are you giving up?" She replied.

"What? No. I'm sad. People mostly cry when they are sad." Gaara said. "At least
that's what Sister says when I cry."

"I haven't cried in a while. Ka-san said it means you have given up if you cry." Yukinko said.

"Why are you here?" Gaara asked suddenly, face turning a little serious.

"I have to stay here for a month."

"Why?"

"Something between the adults."

"Oh." Gaara looked at Yukinko properly now. She wasn't wearing her cloak. She
was wearing a plain black top with a pair of dark blue shorts and a sling bag. Her body
was really small and her pale skin look paler than his.

"Do you sleep?" Yukinko asked Gaara out of the blues.

Gaara looked downwards and said, "No. I'm not allowed to. Why are here out so
late. Don't you sleep."

She smiled and said, "I don't sleep when the moon is full. I don't know why but I
can't. I always feel this odd feeling when it's out."

"Me too. An odd sort of want." Yukinko giggled and said, "Ka-san said you're
really nice. Your hair is also such a pretty colour."

Gaara blushed a little. "W-w-would y-you still w-w-want to b-be f-f-friends?"
Yukinko asked, stuttering again.

"Huh?"

"I asked you during the day but you didn't answer me." Yukinko said.

Gaara looked at Yukinko. He didn't know what she meant by wanting to be
friends. No one wanted to be his friend so why her.

"Why do you want to be friends?" Gaara asked her.

"Your eyes are the same as mine when I look in the mirror." Yukinko replied
looking into Gaara's flat green eyes. "Ka-san said you are the same so you won't hurt
me."

"You have a mother?" Gaara asked remembering his…..nightmare, sorta say.

Yukinko smiled softly. "Emm. She is always close to my heart." She said holding
her hand slightly above her heart.

"What's it like to have a mother?" Gaara asked a little jealous.

"To me it's wonderful to have Ka-san in me. But everybody at homes doesn't like
me. I'm not so sure why. The old lady said it was because of Ka-san. But I love Ka-san
so why does everybody hate me because of that?" Yukinko said watching the village for
anything.

"So it good to have a mother."

"Emm." Yukinko sounded as she looked at the sky. Then she turned to Gaara.
"What is your mother like?" She asked him. Gaara looked down and replied sadly, "I
don't know. I never met her."

"Oh. I'm sorry if I hurt you." Yukinko said. She didn't know what to do because
she hadn't really talk to anyone long enough to feel bad.

'Ka-san. I made my friend sad. Can you help him.'

{Sorry. What I do only works for you. Why don't try what makes you happy
when you don't want my help}

'Okay.'

"Err. Ga-kun." Gaara looked at Yukinko at his new nickname. "'Ga-kun' he
thought. "Do you like strawberries." Yukinko asked rummaging through her bag.

"What are strawberries? And why did you call me Ga-kun?" Yukinko looked up
from her bag giggled.

"Well strawberries are fruits which are really good and Ga-kun sounds cute." She
smiled. She finally pulled a container from her bag. She sat beside Gaara and opened the
container. It was filled with a block of ice.

"What is that?" Gaara asked. Yukinko looked at him. "Strawberries." Gaara
looked at the ice suspiciously. He touched it and pulled back his hand quickly. "Are
strawberries supposed to be cold?"

Yukinko began to giggle. "Ga-kun. This is ice. The strawberries are frozen. Hold
on." With that she touched the ice and it began to melt. Little red bumps started to appear
in the now melted ice. Gaara watched in wonder.

"These red things are strawberries. The old lady helped me wash them and I froze
them. I was going to give them to the other children but when I woke I was with Mera-
san. Here take one." Yukinko said passing the container to Gaara after taking one. Gaara
wasn't sure if he should but since Yukinko offered him one, he accepted. He took one
and took a small bite. A sweet and sourish|(is that a word?) taste filled his mouth. It
wasn't bad really it was quite good.

"Do you like it?" Yukinko asked.

"Emm. It's really good. I've never tried anything like this."

"In my village. The weather is quite cool there. Perfect for growing these. Would
you like another?"

"Ok. Where are you from?" Gaara asked taking another strawberry.

"Cloud Village. Our villages were supposed to be having some fight but Mera-san
took me here to help stop it. I'm not sure what that means though." Yukinko said. "Do
you want anymore?" Gaara shook his head. Yukinko smiled and froze the water again,
closed the container and places it in her bag.

"How do you do that?" Gaara asked.

"Do what?"

"Turn water hard and cold?"

"Water to ice. I'm not sure. I always could. I had to wear gloves for a long time
until I could stop freezing things by accident." Yukinko said a little nervously.

"Really. I know how to move sand without touching it but I had to be locked in a
room until I could control the sand. I'm not so sure wear the sand came from though."
Gaara said, twitching slightly at the memory of being locked in the room.

"Can I see?" Yukinko asked eagerly.

"See what?"

"Ga-kun moving sand without touching it."

"Umm. Ok but please be careful of it." Gaara warned.

"Ok." With that Gaara slowly aimed for a spot on the ground and raised the sand.
Soon sand was floating in front of them.

"Wow. Can you change the shape? I can change water into a few shapes. So can
you change sand." Gaara looked at Yukinko not understanding. Yukinko took out a bottle
of water and spilled some on the ground. Gaara watched while supporting the sand.
Yukinko began concentrating. The water began to rise. A blob of water was in between
her hands now. Slowly it began changing to different shapes. First, a square, a triangle,
than a five-petal flower. "See like that." Yukinko said. Then she froze to flower and put it
down.

Gaara thought for a while of what shape to do, and decided to try to make a
flower like Yukinko's. He tried to mold it but it didn't come out so well. Yukinko giggled
and told him it took her some time to make a flower as well and its better to start with
basic shapes.

It took all night. But by daybreak, Gaara could mold sand into a few basic shapes.
They both laughed at the memory of Gaara's failed attempts as they went into the tower.

"Thank you Ga-kun." Yukinko said. " I had a fun time last night. Ka-san said it
was a good night for me as well. Here." She put the flower in Gaara's free hand and went
of to her room.

Gaara walked back to his family's part of the place. He looked at the bear and the
flower. The flower was simply and pretty. He held the bear closer as Kankurou walked
by him. Without a glance at his brother, Kankurou disappeared. Gaara than went into the
dining room to wait for Temari.
