Another fic based off of a three days grace song. This time, Animal I have become. I thought it would fit Gaara. It also fits Naruto in my fanfic, but I didn't do it for him… There will me more to come for fics based off of three days graced songs, and maybe some from the goo goo dolls. You never know, whatever gets me inspired.
Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto, or 'Animal I have Become' by Three days Grace.
Animal I Have Become
I stare down at my hands.
There covered in blood.
The ground around me is covered in blood.
It's not my blood. It's my uncle's.
The one I thought loved me- but really hated me.
Everyone hates me.
I'm cursed.
I cry, I scream, I let the terror overcome me.
It takes over.
And I do nothing to stop it.
The Sand around me is protecting me; slithering around like it's alive, and I know it is. The sand is alive with the demon in me. It's protecting me, but I know it does not do it out of love. No one loves me.
The sand comes up, and I control it to carve the Kanji symbol 'ai' into my forehead, it means love. Because, only I will ever love me. I will trust only me. Fight for myself. I'm the only one who matters, and the others around me won't weigh me down. I let it all slip away, and wallow in my own personal hell.
Three year goes by, and I kill. I kill for the thrill. The feeling that makes me feel alive, and that even a monster like myself has a purpose. My purpose is to destroy those weaker than me.
My sand slithers faster, and I lock the unsuspecting ninja in my sand, wrapping him into a cocoon. He screams, begs for mercy. I deliver none. What do I look like? A fucking angel?! The man is crushed, spraying his blood everywhere. His flesh in no longer there, and the blood soaks into the sand. Feeding my ever-growing insanity, and calming the beast within me. Temari and Kankuro stare wide-eyed, horrified. They never get used to my brutality. Baki stands there, his years of experience giving him the stomach to handle it. But, I can see the small twitch he gets, even though he may not even know he does it himself.
We head back home, Baki goes to deliver the report, and I head to the roof of our home, and sit on top to watch the moon. I don't sleep. I never have. And I most likely will never, unless I want to release the demon in me. I see a few people outside still. I let my sand take me down there, where I kill them, taking in there blood, and my crazed grin appears, and my blood-shot eyes widen in ecstasy. I don't even notice it though.
It will be three years later till Naruto Uzumaki taught me what it is to be strong, what it means to really feel alive, what it's like to love, what it's like to feel alive. What it is like to have friends, and people who look up to you.
It will be three years till I will realize, exactly what kind of animal I had become.
There we go, all finished! Tell me what you think.
