Gaara had experienced a very interesting day; everything happened so quickly that it took him a few minutes to process what had just happened. In the outside world everything seemed to happen in the blink of an eye. But within one's mind, time seemed to have stopped or never been. Looking back, it was all that transpired when he met those deep blue eyes. His consciousness was first drawn into a blank white space that was silent and consisted of nothing but a white, level planet that stretched on for miles in all directions. Secondly, the person responsible for everything, Naruto, the blonde with whiskers and quite small height for his age, accompanied with that irritating smile of his, he'll propably grow accustomed to it all in due time.

This incident was caused by the blond, who said that he was brought into this different world or as he would call it, the mindscape, to negotiate and make friends. He said that jinchuriki's, or those who are similar to them, should watch out for one another and that they don't have to be alone since they have each other. He listened, but there was one word that stood out above the others.

Friends.

That one word stood out for him the most. A friend. Something he had always yearned for when he was younger, and now, he was given the chance to be friends with a blond, a friend, with how everything just happened so fast, Gaara was surprised he didn't feel even the slightest of anger, stress, Frustration, or any other negative emotions that might have already triggered him into killing the blond right then and there.

Gaara had considered the blond's offer and of course accepted it; as a result, he was now friends with someone who could relate to him and his suffering. Even though they had only recently met, that was enough for them to form an unbreakable bond that would only get stronger with time. In less than five minutes, Gaara went from being the cold-blooded killer that everyone feared—a demon that hunted blood to feed his mother—to someone who was changed in less time than that after suggesting they should be friends with a short, blond kid who had whisker marks on both cheeks.
