A/N: Okay. this is my Re-done story. hope you like it! I do not own the show Naruto or any of the charaters that are in the show...NOT FAIR!! XP
It was two in the morning and I couldn't sleep. So, I took a walk and ended up at the rock I always sit on when I come to think. About my life, and my mother and family. I nestled my head in the spot in between my arms. All the memories of my mothers and the rest of my families' death raced through my mind. All of a sudden I felt a hot tear hit my leg and it surprised me. I had no idea that I had started to cry. I heard a noise behind me and whipped around with a kunai in my hand, the tears still streaming down my face. No one was there. 'It was prolly just a bird. Why the heck am I so jumpy??'
"Why are you crying?" I heard a voice ask.
For some reason the voice didn't startle me and I just turned to meet it, tears still falling down my face. To my surprise it was Gaara sitting there, looking at me with concern in his eyes. For a mille-second I felt a sort of fear, I had always had a crush on him, but the kind where I just looked from a distance, and he was always so unpredictable. He sensed this and recoiled slightly.
He asked again: "Why are you crying?"
"N-no reason." I brought up my arm to wipe the tears but he beat me to it. His hand was so soft on my cheek and my heart started racing.
"You're all alone aren't you? Just like me." He said as he sighed and looked at the reflection of the moon in the lake.
'Just like me? Does he mean that his parents…?' I thought.
I sighed and said, "Yes. My parents died a long time ago and I couldn't sleep soundly ever since. If I do sleep, it's in the middle of the day."
"I see. My parents are not with me anymore as well. I am the same as you."
I turned around and looked him straight in the eye.
"I knew there was something about you that I saw in myself. Your eyes are the same as mine. They have seen bad times and you feel hollow and you desperately want to find someone who knows how you feel and likes you for, well, you."
He looked deep into my eyes and looked shocked. "H-how did you know?"
I turned away and looked into the lake. A small blue fish jumped and disturbed the peaceful water. I smiled and looked up.
"As I said, we're the same. We even have the same eyes. I'm Kirei by the way."
He looked at me with a small smile. "I know."
I smiled and blushed a little.
He is still surprised but scoots a little closer to me. He turned and looked at me. I looked right back at him. I got nervous and got up. I was wearing my bathing suit under my clothes, so I stripped down and asked him to join me. He sat there and cocked his head. I laughed and jumped into the water. I splashed him and he just watched me. I got out of the water and sent all my charka to my feet. I walked out onto the water and spun so the water shot up all around me until I was surrounded by water droplets. The light of the moon made them all glisten. He just kept staring.
After a while I got bored and walked back and dried off. I put my clothes back on. I looked at Gaara who was just sitting there with his eyes fixed on the moon. I walked back over to where he was sitting and stood next to him. He looked up at me with eyes filled with hate and sorrow. Yet they also had a look of longing in them.
"May I sit with you?" I asked as I looked at my feet and blushed. He nodded and moved over. I sat down next to him. I scooted closer to him and he sat there. I rested my head on his shoulder and he flinched a little. I picked my head up and moved a tad further away from him. "I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. Please forgive me." I begged as I looked up at him. He looked down at me with that blank expression and nodded again. We sat there in silence for a while and I finally turned to look at him. He turned his head after he realized that I was staring at him. When he did so, I picked my hand up and touched his face. His eyes went wide and he just stared at me. I looked intently at his face and traced the dark rings around his eyes. He reached his hand up and grabbed mine. He pulled it away and looked at me. I smiled and bowed my head in apology. He nodded but never let go of my hand. He picked up his other hand and traced the dark circles around my eyes, just as I had. I closed my eyes and let myself grin a little.
"What is the reason why you can't sleep?" Gaara asked me in his monotone, yet sexy, voice.
"I have these dreams. I see my brother and parents get killed. Then, this one name races through my mind over and over. Then, these eyes show up. If I do sleep, I wake up crying. So, to avoid that pain I don't sleep." I answered.
"I'm sorry." He said to me as h slid his hand down to hold my cheek. I looked at him and leaned forward. He leaned forward as well. Then, he kissed me. My eyes went wide and I was a little frightened but I enjoyed this feeling. There was danger, and yet I felt more peaceful than ever. He wrapped his arms around me as my eyes fluttered shut. We pulled apart and hugged each other. I rested my head on his shoulder and he buried his face into my hair. I felt a tear hit my head. He had been scared.
"Gaara, why are you scared? Do I frighten you?" I asked as I pulled back on the verge of tears.
"No! That's not it at all! I'm scared because if I spend time with anyone who I have strong feelings for, my dark side shows a bit. I'm sorry. I just got scared that if I stayed like that with you, I would hurt you…or possibly kill you. I'm a monster." He said as he put his head in his hands. I picked his head up and kissed him. He looked at me surprised and nervous.
"I don't care." I whispered in his ear as I hugged him. We stayed like that for a while until we saw the moon start to fade away. "Well it's getting late. I'll see you tomorrow kay?" I said as I cocked my head and smiled.
"Yes. Good night."
"Good night." I said as I smiled and walked away.
