Summary: A thing called Loneliness is what these two individuals have known through their whole lives. But when you meet someone who knows your pain, someone who cried your tears, someone whose soul is as tortured as yours- will you both still know Loneliness?


Gaara:

I know what it is…

Loneliness-the pain I felt for so long…

For it stays within me

It's been here since the day

I've been born…

I need someone to help me

To help me destroy it once

And for all…

Loneliness, how much more can I take

Before I lose my grip and fall?

He looked over to his siblings Temari and Kankourou with a blank face...and mentally sighed.

He was a living nightmare, a monster, the boogie man- if you weren't scared of him, he sure as hell imitated you. But he was used to it: the mothers grabbing their children, the men eyeing him with mixtures of fear and hatred . The taunting of others--pity and hate for him.

He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply, feeling a slight breeze pass by-it surprises him, how he can actually enjoy this--being the inhuman creature he is.

" Gaara…Gaara……Gaara"

he could hear Temari calling out to him, sensing the concern in her voice growing with each time she called his name.

" I can hear you. "

He said flatly, cutting her off before she could ask if he was alright.

" I am fine."

He then, regretted doing so after seeing her flinch back and smile-a pained, forced one. Then glancing at his older brother, he saw Kankourou turn away and clench his fist.

Once again, he was the reason of their unhappiness…it was because he was born.

It was his fault.

It was all his fault.

All

His

Fault.

He felt the demon within stir and he looked up to see what it was.

It was Konoha, the Village hidden in the leaves. The very same place the Chonuin exams had taken place and where Gaara had meet shonobi of all different kinds, shapes, and sizes-all hoping to take part in the exam and come out victorious.

One of them he'd never forget: Naruto Uzimato, the eccentric, loud ,passionate boy with the pure azure eyes and the wild, blond hair. He wore his heart on his sleave and always voiced his thoughts instead of thinking them.

Gaara continued walking towards the entrance of the village, following his brother and sister mentally preparing himself for the stares.

Well, he had better get used to them.

Because he would be seeing them for a long time…Yes because Gaara, Temari and, Kankourou would be living here

In the village hidden in the leaves

Permanently

Upon me and yet I always

Feel so small…Loneliness,
