[Red Sands] Gaara Story [Blue Seas]
Part 1
The Girl was sat on the roof watching the other children play again. This time it was soccer, no rules, no goals. There was a little boy watching them as well, but he was sat one of the swings right near where they were playing. Although the girl was a little younger then the other children she didn't play with them because they wouldn't go near her. She wasn't as upset anymore but it did bother her. She did know that she wouldn't be able to change their minds so she didn't bother trying to. There was a boy that The Girl always drew whenever she watched the children playing because He was always there to inspire her. She wanted this boy to notice her more than anyone else, because they were both treated badly by the villagers. He hadn't noticed her yet, but she could tell that he would soon, so she waited patiently.
One day, She had begun drawing and took care in not making a single mistake; although she had drawn him so many times she could probably draw him in her sleep and not make a mistake. She looked up and saw one of the children kick the ball so hard it flew up and got stuck in a hole in the wall. "Oh crap! We haven't learnt the 'Wall-climbing no jutsu' yet… what do we do?" The Girl heard one of them say. She saw the boy stand up, drop his teddy bear, and take a step forward, leaving his teddy bear on the floor, as she watched the ball fly into his hands, because of the sand that he could control. The other children saw this too, but instead of thanking the boy they ran away, screaming. "Wait!" Cried the boy, She saw the hurt look on his face and knew that he was about to accidentally do the wrong thing. He sent sand after the children trying to get them to stop, to let them know that he didn't want to hurt them, he just wanted to be friends with them, for someone, anyone, to like him. The Girl jumped to her feet. The Girl saw a man known as Yashamaru jump in front of a child as the sand flew towards him and heard him shout "Lord Gaara, please calm yourself down!". Gaara saw him and stopped the sand.
The Girl saw the children leave and knew that Gaara would go home with his Uncle and knew that She would soon be engulfed in loneliness again. She knew it was silly to not feel lonely when no one was looking at you but She just didn't feel lonely when She watched the other children. She jumped off the roof and walked to where the children had just been playing. She picked up the ball that Gaara had dropped and then picked up the teddy bear. She went to the house of the boy who owned the ball and put it down with a note saying 'You should go easy on Gaara, he didn't ask for anyone to hate or fear him. Please give him a chance, he means no harm.' She then knocked on the door and hid somewhere where she could hear anything and could see the boy. The boy came to the door and picked up the ball and read the note. The Girl heard him say "Why should I give Gaara of the Desert a chance when he threatens our lives with that sand of his?" then he turned and walked back inside. She thought to herself 'He doesn't mean any harm. You cause more harm than Gaara-Kun does. He didn't ask for this!' When anyone was like this to Gaara it made her upset.
The Girl went back to the roof that she was sitting on before to pick up her drawing things, but when she got there she noticed that the wind had blown away some of her paper. She picked up everything that was still on the roof top and put it on her desk in her house, then went back to the play area to see if her paper had been blown in that direction. She really wanted to get her unfinished picture back before anyone saw it. The Girl was taking a closer look at Gaara's teddy bear when she arrived. Then she saw that someone was holding two of her pictures, her unfinished one and the one that she had finished the day before. The finished one was of a dream she had had where she was lay in bed with her back to the window and Gaara was looking through it at her. She felt silly now that He was looking at it but She still liked the picture. She looked at the floor at his feet and he said as he looked at her from the drawings "The girl is you, huh? But why am I in your pictures? Don't you hate or fear me? Why aren't you running away from me? Everyone else does…" he looked sad.
The Girl took a deep breath and said "I do not hate you Gaara-kun, I would never hate you. I guess the girl in the picture is me, but the person that appears most in my pictures is you. I guess it's because you are the person I admire most in the world. I'm not running away because I don't run from people that I like, and I have liked you ever since the first time I saw you." She said it all so fast that it took a minute for Gaara to take it all in but before he could say anything else The Girl remembered that she had Gaara's bear and added "Oh, I think this is yours too." while holding the bear out to him. Gaara took the bear and smiled at her. "Thank you. You are very nice to me. In fact this bear is the reason I found your drawings, I came back looking for it. Instead I found your pictures, I was very surprised. Now I'm just shocked though. Why? I guess it's because I still can't grasp that you are not afraid of me. What would your father and mother say if they knew you were talking to me?" The Girl looked at the floor, smiled fading back to a frown and said "I wouldn't know. I don't know who they are or where they are. I don't know anything about them. Even though I spend most of my time drawing, I spend all of my time alone, without a say in the matter." She trailed off slightly towards the end but Gaara still heard everything. "Can we talk again tomorrow? I would really like to see more of your drawings. I know this might be inappropriate but I want to end the loneliness that we both feel. Please be my friend." He had a slight smile on his face, a look of hopefulness even. The Girl smiled and said "I will be your friend but I do have one thing to point out first." Gaara looked puzzled and asked "What is it?" The Girl smiled and said "You don't know my name yet!" and giggled. Gaara smiled back at The Girl and said "Well then, what is your name?" She giggled again and said "My name is Yuki Kyo."
