"Huh?" Kita looked around at her; he hadn't listened to a word she had said, being so lost in his own manic-depressive thoughts.
Noticing she was ready to leave, he figured she was wondering where to stay.
"Oh....Gaara told me to walk you there...." He said, sounding completely unlike his normal, chirpy self.

"Are you alright?" she asked concernedly, turning the knock and walking out onto the landing. "You don't sound good. Did you eat to much pizza?" Knowing this probably wasn't the case, desided to forget the matter for the time being. If he chose to tell her what was wrong, that was fine.

"yeah it's nothing...." He muttered, standing up and grabbing a clean hoodie from the back of a chair. Pulling his old worn one off, he tossed it onto the floor and wandered out the room, scratching his bare and burnt shoulder; served him right for spending so long in the sun.
"Its nothing to do with you....nor anyone else for that matter"
His voice was barely fathomable as he called from the other room.
He sat on the edge of his bed, burying his face in his hands.
"get it together...." He gritted his teeth, scolding himself, "You've been through worse...."
A few moments passed before he re-emerged from his room. Clad in a black tank-top that revealed his lower abs, and a new pair of full-lenght combats, he grabbed his forehead protector and tied it round his neck.
"You ready?" He chirped, disguising how he really felt. He was thankful he'd paid attention in drama class.

Haruka nodded. She clenched her hands behind her back and began the decent down the stairs. "You know," she said thoughtfully, "It isn't good to keeps things bottled up." She knew from personal experience some of the consiquences of hiding what you felt. She pickily fiddled with her headband, tightening it on her right shoulder again and again. It felt like it had cut off her circualtion, but she didn't care, as long as it didn't slip off.

"Yeah well as hard as it may be to believe, im an introvert," He sighed,
"I have a smart-mouth on me and i dish as good as i get but everything you see here," He gestured to himself,
"Its a front. I cant emote my true feelings as i have trust issues. Mizuki's been my best friend my whole life and even she knows very little about me," He pushed the apartment-block door open and stepped out onto the sandy street.
It was after midnight and it was completely deserted. Ironically enough, they were in a desert.
Kita snickered to himself; he really was one of those sad people who laughed at their own comments.
"This way," he gestured his head to the right, his bangs falling into his eyes. Flicking the silver strands out, he began walking down the street.
"I think Gaara set you up in a penthouse sweet......nice one....." He smirked, "You've only been here a day and already you're getting the special treatment!"

She shook her head. There he went again, with his little preach of his smart-alec attitude. It was completely starck dark when they walked outside, but it was the perfect tempeture out. Nothing like the blazing hot weather during the day.
Haruka smiled. "Oh, well, yippy for me!" she said peppily, jumping up and doing a quick heel click in the air. "Though i really don't see why you, Gaara, maybe even Ikara slightly, have become so trusting of me."

"Ikara? Pft no way. She trusts noone. I sometimes doubt her trust in herself sometimes. She's cocky but most of the time, she can't back it up," He teased his sister, worrying about her at the same time.
"Me? Meh, you seem like a cool kid without a hidden agenda. As for Gaara - Gaara doesn't do trust so easily; you're probably just a connection to Konoha for him." He added, rather harshly.

"Well, she trusted me to show up and kill you, didn't she?" Haruka taunted back giggling a bit. Then with his sudden mention of Gaara's possibly true intentions, she frowned.
"A connection?!" Haruka said a bit anger at the possibility that she was being used for contact to Konaha. "Well, he better not think that i can be buttered up with special treatment..." she mumbled, folding her arms.

"Not Gaara's style," Kita shook his head, completely blanking her previous comment.
"Mizuki arranges all that kind of thing - he just pays for it! She's too nice for her own good that girl!" He smirked, "Me? I'd have given you a blanket and a pillow and sent you up the nearest alley for all the scary men to lurk!" He teased her, nudging her arm jokingly.

"OH... that would make sense." she said, placing her finger on her mouth. Mizuki did seem to be a bit of a push over, so it would makes sense that she would give someone good treatment. She punched him lightly on the shoulder. "That's not funny. Girls my age are targeted for sexual abuse. Don't even joke about things like that."

"Who would target you?" Kita smirked, teasing her. "I, on the other hand, am the perfect target. That's why i brought you with me; to scare away all the scary men!"
Joking aside, something was bugging him. Gaara had told him he'd let him know of any details involving Kankuro and Ikara's trip to Konoha. It had been over a day since they'd left; they should be close now. It was unusual that they hadn't contacted Gaara. Kankuro especially would never have broken a promise to his brother.

Haruka dropped her mouth, a small smile still on her face, "Ouch!" she said, putting her hand to her chest as if she had been stabbed there. "Now that... that hurt...." She did a fake sob quickly before laughing a bit.
She looked over to him smiling, but it quickly faded when she noticed the serious and worried look on his face. "Umm... Kita?" She poked his shoulder, hoping to break him out of his trace-like state. "Kita? You-who? Anybody home?" He was probably thinking about his sister; either that or what his hair looked like, but that was Kita.

"Somethings happened...." He muttered enigmatically.
"Something's happened to Kankuro and Ikara......" He frowned, forcing Haruka out the way and rushing towards the kazekage's office.
He didn't bother to check whether Haruka had continued to follow; the cold night air hit his skin like daggers, a gentle breeze blowing, ruffling his hair.
He kicked the office door open and slammed a hand down on the desk,
"WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THEM?" He yelled at Gaara, venom in his eyes.
Gaara stared at him for a long time, his face remaining emotionless.
"It appears they ran into some trouble along the way," He replied, his face still deadpan.
It wasn't that he wasn't feeling anything, in fact, it was far from that. Knowing that the two people closest to him could be dead pained him more than anything.
But as leader of Sunagakure, he couldn't show any trace of emotion. He had to remain strong; he was the pillar which held this village up. If he were to crumble, the village would fall apart around him.
***********************************************************************
"Um....." Mizuki stepped towards Haruka, biting on the tip of her index finger.
"What happened there?" She looked concerend.
