TITASHI: *Face turns pale* God help me.
YOU: HAVE FUN!!!
You headed towards your home jumping from roof tops when you saw Gaara ahead of you.
YOU: Huh? OI, GAARA!!!
You landed on the roof top Gaara sat on. He looked at you for a second before turning back to the moon.
GAARA: So you passed the first exam?
YOU: Ya, and Kitia-Sensei's training us like dogs for the second exam.
GAARA: How ironic.
At first you didn't get it then you relised he was talking about you being a neko.
YOU: Heh, I guess it is.
You rub the back of your head then looked up at the moon. Soon Gaara stold up and walked beside you.
YOU: Huh?
But in a split second you and Gaara were surrounded in a whirlwind of sand. You covered your eyes in attempt to keep the sand out. When it stopped and you opened your eyes you both were on a cliff.
YOU: W-what just happened?
You looked up at Gaara who was close to you.
GAARA: I thought...
You saw in the corner of your eyes the sand raise around you.
GAARA: This was a good place to train.
In an instent the sand darted towards you and, just in time, you dodged it and did a backflip away from Gaara, landing perfectly. You smiled.
YOU: Can't I go one day without training.
The sand darted towards you again and you dodged each one.
YOU: How is this training if you don't move?
You asked while you ran towards him. You tried to attack him but his sand blocked the hit and you jumped back.
YOU: I'd like to see you fight without your sand.
GAARA: Not likely.
Hes sand shot at you but froze half way. You both stold still. You lifted your head and snift the air. The scent of a third presence filled the air. Both yours and Gaara's eyes moved to the location of the scent.
GAARA: Come out.
Suddenly two kunais shot at you from the direction only to be stopped by the sand.
GAARA: If you don't come out I'll drag you out.
You heard a chuckle before watching someone step out from the shadows. His eyes were on yours. He was tall with short black hair and blue eyes. He had a leaf headband and a grin on his face.You could tell he was atleast a Chuunin rank ninja.
GAARA: What do you want?
BOY: Same as you and everyone else. The reward money.
He chuckled while looking at you smuggly.
YOU: Reward? What are you talking about?
BOY: *Chuckles* You hun, your worth your weight in gold. Someones paying a pretty penny for your head.
You moved your hands to form a seal only to have Gaara's sand hold them back. You turn towards Gaara.
GAARA: I'll fight him.
YOU: This is my fight Gaara!
GAARA: He's after you. Don't get in the way.
YOU: Gaara...
You were silenced when his sand surrounded you. You were standing in a sphere of sand with sand holding your hands away from eachother so you couldn't form a seal. You tried to pull your hands away when you heard them talking. Even through the sand your cat ears could hear perfectly well.
BOY: Oh, why'd you do that? You want the money all to yourself do you?
GAARA: I don't want money. What is so special about her?
BOY: *Chuckles* That little monster...
Suddenly it went silent before you heard a crash.
BOY: Hey, I'm just answering your question. No need to get emotional about it.
GAARA: Don't you dare call her a monster or I'll rip each limb off slowly so you can feel it.
BOY: You got something against the word. For her, really, it's a compliment. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU: GAARA!!!!!
BOY: S-*gasp*she seems fond of you *Chuckles*.
GAARA: Answer the question.
BOY: Heh, shes a demon. Trapped inside her is the most evilest neko ever known and a demon full of so much blood lust. Shes a three in one. Demon, neko and freakshow. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME THEN LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!!!!
*Gaara's POV*
I sent the sand to withstrain and protect Kira.
BOY: Oh, why'd you do that? You want the money all to yourself do you?
ME: I don't want money. What is so special about her?
BOY: *Chuckles* That little monster...
I tense up at the word and the sand hits him hard in the chest. He was flung back and crashed into a tree.
BOY: Hey, I'm just answering your question. No need to get emotional about it.
ME: Don't you dare call her a monster or I'll rip each limb off slowly so you can feel it.
BOY: You got something against the word. For her, really, it's a compliment.
Using the sand I gripped his arm hard. I twisted his wrist untill I heard a crack.
BOY: AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
KIRA: GAARA!!!
Her voice was faint in the sand but I could hear the panic and concern in her voice.
BOY: S-*gasp*she seems fond of you *Chuckles*.
ME: Answer the question.
BOY: Heh, shes a demon. Trapped inside her is the most evilest neko ever known and a demon full of so much blood lust. Shes a three in one. Demon, neko and freakshow.
I suddenly gerked his arm the opposite way in anger. I was inches away from ripping his arm off.
BOY: AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME THEN LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!!!!
he screamed in panic making me stop. He pulled out a piece of paper. It had a picture of Kira on it. Underneath it was a reward of $500,000.
*Your POV*
You started to shake.
YOU: "This boy, he way hired to kill me. For being..."
You felt a mixture of fear and anger rush through you. Hot tears rolled down your face.
YOU: "And now...now Gaara knows...I'm sorry Gaara"
BOY: See, I told you she was a monster AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suddenly it went silent. The sand let go of you and you fell to your knees.You place your hands on the ground infrount of you to surport yourself. You couldn't stop this feeling of hate and sorrow. You bit your lip to stop it's quivering. Suddenly the sand dropped. You wouldn't look up. You knew Gaara was infrount of you and you didn't want to see the hate in Gaara's eyes.
YOU: I-I sorry Gaara. I-I really am a monster.
You closed your eyes and bowed your head in shame. It was silent before you heard footsteps towards you.
YOU: I'm sorry.
GAARA: Don't be. You have no reason to.
YOU: But I really am a mon...
you were cut off by a warm embrase. Gaara had lifted you to your feet with the sand and was hugging you. He rested his head on yours while you sobbed into his cheast.
GAARA: Don't you ever call yourself that. You'll never be a monster.
YOU: h-ow can you say that?
GAARA: Because your not evil.
He pulled away and looked you in the eye.
GAARA: Go home and get some sleep. We have to go through the forest of death tomorrow and you wont be at your best until you do. I'll walk you home.
You nodded and whiped your tears.
YOU: I must look weak and pathetic.
Gaara didn't answer at first but muttered
GAARA: No...you don't... that boy was pathetic...You could have beaten him easily.
You laugh quitely making you feel better.
YOU: I guess that your right, I meen I can beat you easily so he would just be target pratice.
Gaara ignored you but you could tell he was smiling slightly. He obviously didn't believe you could beat him but you both let it go as you headed off towards your house. You didn't ask him about what happened to the attacker. Deep down you knew he was dead.
