Inner Demons
(literally)
"I don't want to be alone anymore." The words echoed into the cold emptiness, repeating and repeating, but no voice answered.
No voice except one…
No one can defeat loneliness…the voice of nightmares.
"Shut up." Fear had faded years ago, only hate for this voice remained.
To be despised, hated, and feared by everyone"Go away! Just—Scram!" As if he could just make it get up and walk away by yelling.
There is only one purpose for us
"No!" He knew it by heart.
To feel alive by killing
"But…why!"
Let me feel it! I haven't had enough yet!
"I'm sorry…"
What?"I fight for myself alone."
PAIN!
Gaara snapped awake suddenly and painfully. Crying out as the pain in his shoulder burned. He was face down on the ground, he coughed sand, sand that smelled and tasted like blood. It was bright, too bright as the familiar sunlight burned his eyes.
"Kankouro! He's waking up!"
"Temari?" Gaara weakly lifted his head, but pain from the movement made him collapse, he felt so…weak. "Temari?" Please be there, don't leave me like this.
"Yes, Gaara?" Temari, scared as hell.
He coughed again, "What…am I?"
Author's note –most of the dialogue used in this chapter are all lines that Gaara says in the manga, I haven't seen any of the anime yet so this will be entirely based on the manga (sorry). Tell me what you think, this is my first fanfic in a long time, and the last one I did was humor. Am I spelling Kankouro's name right?
Oh yeah, this will contain spoilers. (Narutochuushin rocks!)
