The Moments of Life

Chapter One: First Encounter

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters but only the story, but please enjoy :D


The stars were shining bright, the moon so high and beautiful. Something so perfect and worthy of life, unlike me. I am Sabaku no Gaara, my life is too mind blowing that no one can ever compare at how horrendous it has been...

I thought i never really needed anyone but myself since its been that way for almost 24 years. Packing up and getting ready was my usual routine before going back out to work. This life of mine of course, defintely is out of the ordinary because im not the typical guy who walks in the street and greets my neighbors. No, im the one shooting glares at them whenever they get one glance at me. Sigh* Nothing i can do about it, not my fault i am different among everyone else. I am insomiac, I have deep bloodish red hair, jade eyes & body intent to kill. Yeah, of course the girls love it, but these girls are useless. Emotional things. When will they realize that the only way to surviving is to block out all the pain & emotions, and leave their supposedly 'Loved' ones behind? Theyre just carrying baggage around & making things worse. To think i thought like that when i was younger, i was practically DESPERATE for all the attention and love that they were getting. Damn, was i stupid. It was only cause of that day... Actually its not worth thinking about, i really need to focus on work. I'm the owner of the two companies. It's called the Sand Master and Shukaku Industries.

The Sand Master is a hidden cult built for the best of the best. I'm talking about the world's strongest martial arts fighters. Of course this job is hidden and the job description means that you need to have the ability to be a multi-tasker yet also have the killing intent of an assassin. But i strictly forbid my 'workers' to kill anyone, but only just hurt them badly. I only want them to use their abilities in good use. Not the way i was forced to do when i was younger... All these people that work for me are my dearest friends that i've known for almost my whole life, the only ones i could trust my life to. Our ages are all the same; 25 and we allow females in this typical place and onto the field. Our work during the day is a business company of electronics and weapons also known as Shukaku industries. My two siblings are the ones that help me keep everything organized and less stressful. The eldest is 27 who is a woman whose name is Sabaku no Temari, and the second one is 26 which obviously is a man, named Kankuro, who strangely plays with puppets. They help me run the company if i'm out in a meeting or a mission...

They know my words, my actions, my life is strictly business. I never do anything for a stupid reason. So if someone screws up, lets just say that it isn't a very pretty picture when it comes to the results of seeing their face again. To make this simple everyone gets the picture and no one, i mean no one ever tries to push my buttons, ugh besides my stupid brother ,sister and annoying loud best friend, (Namikaze) Uzumaki Naruto. As I get into my red Lamborgini to go to work, which is just twenty minutes away. I started running my hands through my feather textured hair, thinking about how close my siblings and i got over the years of being so far apart. Those dreadful years always keep flooding into my mind... I start the engine so i could in straight to my office. Its on the fifth floor of my building. As soon as i arrive there i begin walking directly to the elevator. It took about a minute before i headed to my destination. Once i sit down i stare at the large pile of papers that i need to sign. Few hours later, i finish up and walk up to my brother giving the papers asking,

"Hey could you run this over to Tem, while i go out. I need to really blow off some heat with this stupid work."

"Sure bro, whatever you need!" Kankuro grinned.

I roll my eyes at his weird behavior knowing that i wont do anything about it, yet. I start heading to my car and drive to the park, i pick up some of my sweats to begin my exercise to burn off some agitation. I start jogging around for a few minutes, then sprint along the whole park. ' At least this helps me clear my mind compared to the work those dimwits call success.'After twenty minutes into his workout, he sits by a nearby bench beside a woman he is yet to get to know.

"Beautiful day isn't it?" He turns his head, his jade eyes getting a glance of her. He was in for a big a shock. This woman is beautiful.

'Why is she even talking to me' he thought in annoyance. He nodded in reply.

"Heh, so i take it that you're the silent type." Still staring at her, he finally decides that since he'll probably will never see her again that he might as well have a live chit chat.

"By what do you mean by the 'silent type'? How would you be able to judge me if you do not know who i am." Quite shocked for a minute the girl just smirks,

" It got you to talk though. My names Sakura, Haruno Sakura. Yours is?"
