Desert of Despair
By: Sakura Astaomenaka
Prologue
disclaimer: I do not own Gaara of the sand, he'd kill me if I did, nor do I own any of Naruto
(Here is where I would claim my character(s) but you'll know it when they/he/she appears trust me)
The sand sifted across the ground lightly, like a butterfly on wind, and as it moved a pair of light green eyes followed it. Subaku no Gaara was standing just outside his village, the kazekage robes havign been discarded back in his office. He came out here to think like he always did, out here was were the sands were calm, and his siblings were absent. He gave a slight shudder hearing the voice of the raccoon echooing through his mind the form of the beast looming in what could be a cage had it not been broken for an entrance.
What's up pup?
The shinobi shook his head and looked up to the clouds over head, lazy and grey they would produce no rain though. He resentfully answered the demon.
I'm worried Demon, somethings coming I can feel it.
And it was true there was just somethign that had made him come out here not somehting good either, it was nagging weight on his chest and a chrunning in his stomache that told him that.
What do you think it is pup? The demon rested his great head on massive paws, lookign down at his young host.
I don't know Demon, nothing good...and somethign unexpected. He was rewarded with a snort from the raccoon and a scratchy reply.
Did the sand tell you that? Or did you assume it? The demon chuckled, loving the look of annoyance his host gave him, it was only recently they had been able to start communicationg in this manner.
Shut-up Demon, the sand told me. He fixed Shukaku with a narrow eyed glare, those eyes pircing through the sandy hide of the beast.
Just be careful pup...we were seperated once... He didn't much like life without his host, so no doubt he was worried.
Gaara sighed to the sand, havign cut his conversation with the raccoon, it hardly helped but did ease him some, at least enough that he could head back to his office and answer that letter from the Hokage fox. His thoughts lingered on that man for a moment it needless to say impresse dhim that the yappy brat /had/ made it to Hokage. Shaking off further thoughts, he heaved his gourd onto his shoulder and proceeded through the village gate.
Sakura: -ahem, ahem- Well that was my short prologue please, R&R for me? I promise I'll update it.
Gaara: -glares- yeah right
Sakura: What? I will just watch me
Gaara: I have and you;ve only grown stupider
Sakura: Oh shut-up Gaa-kun your mean!!
Gaara: I'm a kazekage I'm supposed to be mean.
Sakura: -huffs- anyway it will be a shonen-ai/yaoi rated for the later chapters (If I get to them hehe)
