Chapter Warning: Cussing and Cutting

If you do not approve of anything that will or might happen in this story then don't read. Now, to start the story.

Chapter 1: He Cuts

"Why…why is it so hard? All it is, is just one little scratch." Gaara thought as he held razor to his wrist. "I want to do it. I need to do it. After I cut…everything and everyone will go away. And that is what I want." Gaara placed the razor on the wrist and added enough pressure for it to bleed a little. Slowly, he pulled the blade down his arm while grinning his teeth. Breathing a little heavily, Gaara watch the blood flow from the open wound. "That wasn't too hard. It feels so good. And all of the pain is gone." Gaara got up from his seat in his bed and walked to the bathroom.

It was 11 at night and Temari and Kankuro should be asleep. Gaara slowly crept to the bathroom that was only two rooms down and across the hall; across Kankuro's room and next to Temari's. Gaara entered the room and closed the door, locking it behind him. He turned the water on and stuck his arm under the water. When his arm made contact with the water, Gaara made a moaning and a hissing sound, causing Temari to stir in her sleep. He heard the movement and removed his arm.

"I have to be more careful." Gaara quietly said. His arm was still stinging, and when he looked he saw it was still bleeding. He places his hand on his arm and applied pressure. Looking around the room, Gaara was looking for something to wrap his arm in. He certainly didn't want to use a towel; it'll leave evidence for Temari and Kankuro to see. He didn't want to use the water; it hurt too much, but he had no choice.

"Hopefully it doesn't sting it again." Gaara placed his arm back under the water right after removing his hand. Once again, the second the cut hit the water the pain came back and he threw his arm back from the water, spilling some on the floor. Luckily he was able to keep quite. He looks back at his arm to see the bleeding has stopped and he sighed in relief. Gaara started to head towards the towel rack, but slipped on the water that got on the floor with a loud thud.

"What the hell?!" he heard Kankuro yell. He hears the doors fly open, but they didn't close.

"What happened Kankuro?!" Temari asked.

"How am I suppose to know? Wait, where's Gaara?" At this point Gaara was hopping that they weren't going to check the bathroom. There was a knock.

"Gaara, you in there?" Kankuro asked while pounding on the door. Gaara didn't answer, except he covered his ears which didn't help much. The pounding continued and Kankuro yelled and order.

"Gaara I know you're in the. Open the fucking door Gaara." Gaara kick the door in attempt for the pounding to stop.

-the other side-

Kankuro could hear a loud bang coming from the door. He stopped pounding and looked at Temari with questioning eyes.

"Gaara…"

"I'm fine, just leave me alone." Gaara said through the door.

"Not until you open up Gaara." Temari spoke up. They didn't hear anything. "Gaara? Will you open the doo-"

"Shit!" That was the last straw, Kankuro stepped back and ran into the door. The door feel down and they see Gaara sitting on the ground, head bent over and hand pressing on the other arm. Temari stepped in first and went to her brother.

"Gaara, what happened?" She reached for his hand and grabbed it, trying to remove it from Gaara's arm. "Let go Gaara." Gaara shook his head. Kankuro stepped in and stood behind Temari.

"Listen to you sister Gaara." Kankuro said. Gaara shook his head again. "Why won't you let go?"

"When I fell I cut myself on the counter. I'm trying to make it stop bleeding." Temari looked over at Kankuro then back at Gaara.

"Let us see it. Kankuro, go get the first aid kit." Kankuro nodded his head, but stopped in the doorway at the request.

"No! I'm fine, really." Gaara stood up and stepped around Temari. "I'm going to bed." He continued to walk and didn't even turn around once nor let his arm go. Temari and Kankuro just shrugged and went back to sleep in their own rooms, not even realizing that Gaara was in a corned in his room, crying.

----------

The next morning Gaara was still in his little corner when his alarm went off. In a few seconds there was a knock on the door with a yell.

"Gaara, time to get ready for school." Temari yelled and stepped away. Gaara stayed in his position, listening to Temari and Kankuro argue about weather or not Kankuro wanted to get up. He heard Temari come back over and yelled, "I mean now Gaara."

Gaara sighed and stood up. She may sound mean, but she really is nice, she just doesn't understand Gaara. Neither does Kankuro. Gaara walked over to his dresser and pulled out black pants and a red t-shirt that had the same symbol as the tattoo on his forehead. He then grabbed a black jacket and pulled it on, not even bothering to zip it up.

-down stares-

Temari was in the kitchen making everyone breakfast. She was already up and ready for school. She is a high school junior, but has classes with Kankuro since she has honors classes and he's a senior. Gaara is a freshman, but that doesn't bother him. He still has to help Temari and Kankuro with their homework even though they are two or three grades higher than him.

Temari heard Gaara and Kankuro finish getting ready just as she placed the plates on the table. Gaara and Kankuro came running down stares. Gaara was holding Kankuro's cell phone while it was ringing and Kankuro was right behind Gaara, toothbrush in one hand and a newspaper in the other which he plans on using to beat Gaara with.

"Give it back Gaara!" Kankuro yelled. Temari rolled her eyes with a sigh and pulled her sleeves up.

"Why does this seem like a morning routine?" She thought as she stepped into the living room. Just as Gaara and Kankuro ran by she grabbed Kankuro's right wrist with her left hand and Gaara's left wrist, the one with the cut, with her right hand, so they were facing each other and put a nice grip on so she wouldn't hurt them, but they still couldn't get away. "Alright Gaara, enough with the games. Give Kankuro his phone back."

"Then tell him to drop the newspaper."

Temari sighed and looked at Kankuro and said, "Kankuro, drop the newspaper, now." Kankuro obeyed and shoved the toothbrush into his mouth so that he can stick his hand out for Gaara to put his phone in.

Gaara stuck out his tongue and said, "Fat chance!" Temari tightened her grip on Gaara's wrist and he started to yell in pain. "Owww, damn it Temari! Let go, let go! Fuck, it hurts Temari." Gaara fell to the ground when Temari let go of his arm and gripped it. He threw Kankuro's phone at him and ran up to his room.

Temari and Kankuro chased after him to see if he's alright yelling, "Gaara?!" at the same time.

Gaara reach his room, hearing Temari and Kankuro right behind him. He closed his door and locked it with two loud thuds right after. He could hear Temari and Kankuro complaining about something about running into the door. Gaara sat next to the door and removed his jacket to see that his arm was bleeding again.

"Shit. Temari reopened it." Gaara got up and went to the drawer that had all of the first aid stuff that he needed to take of his wrist.

-the other side of the door-

Kankuro and Temari sood on each side of the door waiting for Gaara to come out of his room. After a few minutes they hear him sliding against the wall next to the door and they were able to hear him crying. They both exchanged looks and continued to wait.

-in gaara's room-

After bandaging his arm, Gaara went back over to the door, but felt the tears coming, so he just sat down, brought his knees up for his head to rest on, and started to cry. He stayed like that for about five minutes until he decided that it was getting close to when they have to leave and he still hasn't had his breakfast yet. He got back up and unlocked the door. He expected to see Temari and Kankuro barging threw, but when he opened the door the two just looked at Gaara from where they were standing.

"You okay Gaara?" Kankuro asked with worry in his voice. Gaara nodded and started to walk down stares.

"Yeah, I'm just hungry." Temari and Kankuro rolled their eyes and went to eat their breakfast with Gaara.
