I'm doing it again, starting up new stories when I should be finishing old ones. Forgive me, my readers! But I HAVE to do this!
Otulia: Neither Kinkatia nor I own Naruto. However, we own our currently nameless OC.
Prologue
Gaara sat on the swing, holding his teddy bear and watching the other kids play a game of soccer. The score was tied, and both teams were getting competitive. A goal was nearly scored, but the goalie blocked it just in time, hitting it away from the net. The ball soared up into the air, coming to land on top of the wall, out of reach.
"Aw, man!" one boy complained.
"None of us know any wall climbing jutsu," a girl said sadly.
Gaara got off the swing, looking up at the wall. Using his control over sand, he was able to get the ball, lowering down into his hands. Approaching the other children shyly, he held it out toward them. "Um, here," he said quietly.
"It's Gaara!" one person exclaimed.
"He's creepy," another said. In an instant, the entire group turned and fled, screaming in fear.
Gaara watched them go with hurt-filled eyes. Why did they run away from him? Why did they fear him? A thousand similar questions flooded his mind, fueling a new feeling; anger.
Suddenly, a girl his own age who hadn't been involved in the game stepped in front of him. "You cowards!" she yelled at the backs of the retreating children. "He was only trying to be nice!" She turned around and looked at Gaara, tears in her eyes. "They're so mean," she sniffled. He suddenly found himself being hugged by this strange girl. "Don't worry about them. I'll be your friend."
"Really?" Gaara asked, his anger receding.
She released him from her hug and looked at him, smiling through her tears. "Yep! After all, everyone needs a friend!"
The prologue is short. Yes, we are aware of that. Anyone who's seen the most recent episode of Naruto on Toonami should know what inspired this, hehe!
And I have a question that needs answering. What should the girl's name be? If I use your suggestion, I'll give you credit for naming her! So, review! I promise the rest of the story will be more original. I just borrowed the starting point.
