A beautiful girl named Manami Kazuo met Gaara when they both were eight years old. Naturally, sharing the same fate , they became best of friends.
Happiest days of Gaara's life ended with Manami's sudden death. Alone again, Gaara became what he ne...
Next day: Manami wakes up hearing someone knocking at the door. Manami opens the door. A hiden sand shinobi told her that the kazekage wanted to see her.
AT KAZEKAGE'S OFFICE:
Knock... Knock!! Kazekage : Come in. Manami enters in the office hesitantly Manami : Y..You wanted to see me sir?
Kazekage : Yes!, you see... Some one told me that you were with my son Gaara yesterday. Manami : He is your son?...he'swaylessscarythanyouare... (mumbles the last part)
Kazekage : Yes he is and you need to know some things about him....... He is a jinchuriki and so you should stay away from him.He can be dangerous.
Manami: y..you're so mean...how can you say that? ISN'T HE YOUR SON?!!

Kazekage: That's my problem not yours. You're new here. You know nothing so take my advice and beware. Manami: I'm grateful that you allowed me to stay here but Gaara is my friend and I'm not gonna change that!
Kazekage : Listen child, you have barely seen the world to know what darkness is like. Worst enemies lie in the shadows of people we think are harmless.
Manami : I might be a child but I know what you're saying because I have seen it all. I have seen my father killing everyone and trying to kill me too! I have seen the person I trust the most become my worst enemy! But we can't stop loving and trusting others because of that! I want Gaara-kun to know what it's like to be trusted and loved so he will do the same! Seeing your behaviour I can tell that he and I, we are both the same.... hated by our fathers... Even though she was sad, she smiled.

Kazekage: That's the most I have seen you speak. Who are you really?
Manami : I'm not sure. Who or what I am.... But I'd like to be a part of this place someday....
Kazekage : .........Choice is yours. Every one in this village hates him and they will hate you too if you are his friend. You'll be treated as bad as he is.
Manami : I don't care.
Kazekage : Well then you can leave.
Manami : Thank you.
Kazekage's thoughts: strange child.
After that she leaves. In the park Gaara is waiting for her.
Gaara's thoughts : Will... she really bother to come? No one is my friend so why would she be? She can hate me like everyone else. ...but instead she wants to be a friend. Why?.....
Manami : Gaara-kun~~! (waving from far and running towards him )
Gaara : Manami-chan!
Manami : sorry I'm late!
Gaara : it's okay. ( blushing a little )
Manami : So, What would you like to play today? Gaara : I don't know. .. anything ?
Manami : Well we are friends now so let's tell each other about ourselves.
Gaara : Okay but I don't think that it is a game.
Manami : (giggle ) It isn't silly.
The children from last evening enter the park.
A boy : Manami! Come here.
Manami : excuse me Gaara -kun.
Manami runs to them.
Manami : yes? Boy : why are you with that monster? Manami : one. . He is not a monster and two. . He is my friend!
Boy : but he can hurt you.
Manami : no he can't and plus why would he. .. we are the same.
Boy : I knew it! You are a monster too. I'll tell everyone!!
Manami : sure! (Turning away )
Manami walks to Gaara and grabs his hand.
Manami : come on Gaara-kun. . We shall go somewhere else.
Gaara's thoughts : finally I found a friend of my own. I hope we stay friends forever. . Why is she my friend though? And isn't she HOLDING MY HAND? ! (Blushing madly )
Manami's thoughts : I want you to be happy Gaara-kun after all we are living the same fate. I hope we can be friends forever. (sigh )
