Toph was starving. She had been travailing for almost a week on foot. The last thing she had to eat was yesterday, it was only wild berries. She was thankful they did not make her sick. She felt another berry fall from a bush near her. She went over and ate some more. She wasn't sure if she would make it. But that's what you get for running away. She felt someone near her. How could she have not noticed him before? It was like he just appeared there. Great she thought, another one fast on their feet. She continued to walk towards this person. Hopefully he would have some food or know if she was close to a village. Once she got closer she felt to hungry to even ask for food. She jumped up to one of the many trees. She continued to "watch" him. He pulled something out of a bag and Toph could smell it. An apple! She quickly made a bridge with earth and easily ran over from the tree tops to him, she swooped down and grasped his apple. Ha! Sucker. She did not go to far to hide from him. He would never be able to keep up. She was about to take a bite when she felt him right around the corner. She cursed with shock, "how did you!" she quickly threw earth all around him except for his head. "well, well… sorry bud but I'm starving….so this apple is mine now." She got no response. "Well then mister no-talker I think I will just leave you hear…" but she stopped when she heard and felt sand fly past her. She heard a crack and the barrier around her "prisoner" and broke the wall of earth. The next thing she new, she was pinned down on the ground.
"what tha! How did you… you jerk!"
a silent and smooth voice replied in a few words. "I would like my apple back…"
Toph still had it in her hands. She was not going to lose this easily. She started to move the earth around her but she could not move. He had pinned her down with…..sand? "tch! You…" she griped the apple in her spare hand and bite it. Now he would not want it! She was a little surprised when she felt him bend down. He was still going to take it? But all her thoughts stopped when she started to actually see something. It was fuzzy at first but it stared to get clearer. 'Is it….eyes….no a face….wait? i….i am actually…seeing him?' the first thing she has seen with her own two eyes, was a face. He had redish brownish hair. His eyes where dark and full of lonlyness, he had a tattoo on his head, it was a sign for love, his lips where…..he began to pull away the apple in his mouth, he had taken it! and the vision of his face started to fade. The last thing she saw was a blurr of two eyes. "bye"
he was gone! She tried to sense where he went but she could not find him. She tried to look with her eyes but only saw blackness.
"you….YOU JERK! IM NOT DONE WITH YOU! COME BACK AND FIGHT! YOU !#$!^ YOU!…"
rain again he thought. He had found a cave like area to rest in and wait for the storm to pass by in. his thoughts wanderd back to the strange girl he had seen today. Why didn't she just ask for the apple? And how was she able to move the earth like that. And the weirdest thing was when he took his apple back. Her eyes, they where blank and pale but when he got closer the colours started to swirl…weird he thought. Well he had all the time in the world to think about it…he heard a footstep. It must be that girl. But before he could do anything something fell on him. It was the girl! She looked sick, he felt her forehead and it was burning. He pulled her under the cave more and ripped a part of cloth from his shirt and soaked it in the rain water. He placed it on her forehead. She had a fever and something else. But he did not no what. After a while she began shivering, her fever was still high but she was shaking intensely. He tried to make a fire but everything was too wet. He went through his stuff trying to find anything to keep her warmer. Ever since one tail has been gone, he got in a nasty habit of falling asleep at odd times. He did not bring a blanket with him. He was scared he would sleep to much on this trip. With nothing to help her with, he sat down next to her. He really was useless when it came to medicine. He accidentally fell asleep and woke up to her shivering again. He sat closer and tried to make her warmer. Her fever got higher and her skin colder. He got worried that the ground was too hard and might be hurting her back. He picked her up and put her in his lap. He wrapped his arms around her. She eventually stopped shaking. And he fell into another unwelcomed sleep.
He woke in the morning. Her fever was still high but a little better. He tried to make her a nice sand bed he put his jacket over her and used his shirt as a pillow. He went out to find dry firewood.
Toph woke up smelling something. She looked up and saw the boy from yesterday over a fire. "hey y….." she had tried to get up but sat back down when a sharp pain pierced through her. "what?…."
"Don't strain yourself. Here eat." He gave her a plate of bread and fruit. "what the? Who are you? Why am I here and why do I feel like shit?"
"please calm your self. You stumbled in this cave where I was staying in and fainted. You have a fever and I think something else. But I'm not very good with medical stuff so I don't know what."
"great….and your name?" Toph said
"Gaara of the sand."
