Snared
"You don't have to be afraid anymore." Kankuro's arm encircled my waist, hand warm on my side. I wanted to trust the boy. He seemed sincere. Though, so did Master. Master always sounded sincere. Master would hold me like the boy was holding me. The memory of it made me pull away. Kankuro's eyes looked sadly into mine, but he nodded in understanding. Following him, I kept my eyes to the ground. The desert heat was baking my pale delicate skin; the sun gleaming through the window heating my reddish brown hair and sticking it to my neck. I risked taking a peak at the sand genin beside me, and was baffled by how he was not passing out from heat exhaustion. His black full body outfit must have been cooking the boy.
"Kankuro?" My voice was weak from my fear. I wasn't used to having so much light on me.
"Yeah Melina?" He looked back; I averted my gaze.
"Where does the Kazekage want me to stay?" I asked timidly.
"My father says you can stay in the mansion until you can take care of yourself. You can earn money doing missions or working at a shop." He explained. I nodded and thanked him before hurrying into the room he gestured towards. The room was made of sand like the whole place, but the bed seemed soft and was a navy blue. There was a baby blue rug and a dresser against the far wall. I laid down, staring at the sun for a moment before hiding beneath the cool blue covers. The dark soothed me for a moment, until I could feel the memory Master's hands on my sides again. I shivered and curled into myself.
"I miss you big brother. I hope you are happy." I whispered, taking a small crooked kunai from the pouch on my side. 'Kabuto' was etched into the handle. I held the ninja tool close, being careful not to cut my chest. I heard some footsteps go by, but I was too tired to care. It wasn't long before I was dead asleep, finally feeling somewhat safe.
The feeling of security is a fleeting one, especially for me. Startled, I woke up in the night by the sound of crashing downstairs. I patted the bed around me, making sure no one was there. Carefully getting up so I made no sound, I turned to hurry down the stairway. Finally at the bottom, I could hear rummaging in the kitchen. Peeking in, I saw the shadow of a man. I couldn't see much since the only light was from the fridge, which he was blocking.
"Hello...?" I whimpered from the doorway, the man turned around, and I was relieved when I heard the sound of Kankuro's voice.
"Melina! Want a sandwich?" He asked, turning back to the fridge.
"Sure... and milk please.." I asked, sitting at a small kitchen table. I usually wouldn't have said yes, but I hadn't eaten in the previous two days. The brunette boy walked over very ungracefully and placed two sandwiches, a bowl of chips, and two glasses of milk on the table. I started playing with my bread, then looked up slowly.
"Do you always snack at two in the morning?" I asked, he laughed and nodded.
"Pretty much always. Food always tastes better after midnight."
"I guess that's an opinion." I said, taking a bite of the food. It only took a moment to realize how hungry I was, and I soon finished the sandwich. Kankuro watched me, but didn't look judgmental. I smiled, embarrassed by my own manners. He chuckled softly.
"So, do you know where you got such pretty eyes? I've never seen eyes like yours." He said. I shrugged.
"I know. Violet is a weird eye color. I don't know my parents though, I was an orphan. So, I have no clue where I would have obtained it. My brother used to call me pink eye to bother me." I said, smiling to myself. I missed my nii-san.
"That's cute," he laughed, "I have a younger brother, Gaara, and you met my sister Temari." He said, I nodded.
"She's nice, very strong." I said.
"You mean manly?" He laughed, I giggled softly and he looked at me, his eyes softening and his lips curving into a smile.
"Kankuro?" I said softly, staring into his dark eyes. He stared back silently, his body still. I felt entranced for a moment, then shifted uncomfortably. He stopped staring, and shook his head back and forth almost as if he was in a trance as well. I blushed lightly, then stood up quickly to make an escape.
"Thank you for the food Kankuro." I said, bowing politely then ran off before he could respond. I hurried into my room, and closed the door tight, only to find a letter on my bed. Walking over, I could clearly see the words written threateningly across the card.
"Ready to scream for Master?" Shocked, I backed against the wall, sliding down and curled into a tight ball, my muscles shaking violently.
