Omoi Tamashī's P.O.V
"Come on Hinata!! Pleeaase?????" I begged. I'd been here in Konoha for seven years already. There wasn't a day that went by that I wasn't thinking about Gaara. I tried to go back to the sand village a couple of times, but each time I was attacked on sight, and I doubt Gaara was informed of me being alive. Hinata was the person I'd grown closest to. She knew all of my deepest darkest secrets, she knew everything about me and I her. She never stuttered around me because she felt safe around me; when she first told me she felt safe around me, I cried because my heart was filled with joy. Whenever I was sad Hinata was always there, and I loved her for that. I'd developed quite the crush on a certain genin that controlled bugs. I told Hinata and she completely fangirled. She said I should tell him, but I refused unless she told Naruto. Kakashi says the chunin exams are coming up. I call him dad now. He's legally adopted me. He's not worried about me going ino the chunin exams, he says that if I use Kurai and Hikari then the chunin exams will be a breeze. But I've been training hard. I know I could get through this without them, though it would be nice to use them in an actual battle for once. I'd gotten a lot taller and I also had a pet now. His name was Kiyo and he was an adorable little blue fox. My hair went down to my knees now and I wasn't as pale as before. I wonder if Gaara would recognize me. I was currently begging Hinata to come with me on my trip to the forrest where my Kiyo came from. I can understand why she doesn't want to though, it was quite the creepy place. But personally I thought it was beautiful. Finally giving up with a huff I stormed off. What I saw brought tears to my eyes. There right before my eyes were Temari and Kankuro. I stood there, tears streaming down my face. Time seemed to slow down in that moment. I ignored the little boy Kankuro was bullying and just stared. I ignored there little spat with Naruto and Sakura. I ignored them until I felt a familiar presence. Gaara.
"Gaara." His voice was a breathless whisper coming from my lips. When he came down from the tree threatening to kill his brother, my eyes widened. I ran to him, throwing my arms around his neck and sobbing.
"G-gaara!!" I wailed. His own arms slowly and hesitantly came around my back. I sobbed harder.
"A-anii... I-I'm so s-sorry!! H-he w-w-wouldn't let m-me b-back in!! I abandoned you... please f-forgive me a-anii!! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" I wailed into his chest.
