Draco felt a bit happy when she heard Gaara say that her kindness was her greatest gift as well. Draco heard Gaara ask who she thinks could have killed Orochimaru and sighed. Draco said, "I still can't believe that Orochimaru is really dead...it seems so...surreal... But based on the description of the jutsu I'd say Renkaji was the one who killed Orochimaru..."<br/><br/>Draco looked at Gaara and thought about how Temari told her that Gaara did have feelings for her but didn't know how to tell her since he had never been in love before. Draco also thought about her own feelings for Gaara and decided to finally tell him how she felt before something happened that would shake her resolve. Draco said, "Gaar-I mean, Lord Kazekage, do you still remember the promise we made when we were kids? To always be friends and have each other's backs?" Draco waited for Gaara's reply and said, "I feel that by saying this I will be breaking our promise...but in a good way." Draco paused for a moment and drew in a shakey breath to calm herself and finally said, "I'm in love with you, Gaara. I always have loved you but when I decided to leave the Sand Village to protect you and your village from the Akatsuki...I realized that I loved you as more than just my best friend...Even if you don't feel the same way, I just felt I should get it off my chest." Draco was shaking a little from the feeling of finally telling Gaara about her feelings for him.
