Ishtar wasn't sure if it was a mistake or not, but she learned to use her resources, and it helped a lot when it came to looking for people. Gaara might have surprised her, by hiding it in there, but she was thankful for it just because it protected her, and it guided her when she needed the help from it. The sand was a unique little thing that she wouldn't throw away ever.

At least, until Gaara took that away from her, in which she hoped he would take it away. She liked it and having it as backup like a ruelle was great. She got used to it activating on strange occasions where she almost got hurt, and how it would always loyally protect her when she needed it to. Ishtar rolled around another corner, calling again for the teen, in hopes if finding the ninja. Ishtar didn't like to lie to him, and because he told her before, she wasn't going to let him feel the way he did back home. Well, she'll try her best. She couldn't make faulty promises.

She still would protect him if anything.

There was no way he was going to make her leave that easily. She wasn't prepared to leave until she could get through to him. It was a crazy idea, and she would probably be injured in the process, but she was still going to do it. Ishtar was not backing down because someone told her too, even if it that was Gaara who was telling her to leave. She stopped short of breath when she finally found him. She was stubborn in many ways, and those ways became worse since she had been at Facility.

"I'm not leaving," she started, catching her breath, "because, I'm pretty sure you're upset," she paused glancing at the mess around him, "and apparently you still are," she glanced at him, serious.

"Is that important right now? It doesn't matter if it isn't a place for me. I'm here now."
