"Late…I'm so late" fourteen-year old Chihiro, Mori nearly slipped in the sand, kicking some up as she found her footing and pushed her hair out of her face, "Mom is going to kill me!" she muttered to herself as she adjusted her bag on her back.

"I told Sari that I couldn't stay any later than nine but no!" she rounded a turn she neared the street to her house "…My headstone will read was out past curfew and died!"

Not paying any attention Chihiro tripped over her feet and face-palmed into the sand, "Ow!" she screamed as she picked herself up "Stupid sand!" she sat on her knees and fixed her hair.

Unaware of the figure sitting atop a rooftop, Gaara sitting in his usual spot brooding, when he noticed a girl face plant in the sand it had been the first thing in a good while that was kind of…amusing, He continued to watch her waiting for her to notice him.

"Stupid girl…" he thought as she pushed herself up, cursed the sand, and fixed her hair, she happened to glance up and notice him; and Gaara saw that common mix of fear and confusion flash on her face.

Then she did something that through Gaara off, she smiled at him. Gaara was taken back at this forced or not nobody had smiled at him in years.

"I…fell" she called up to him and laughed nervously and kicked the sand "Heh.." she laughed again as she hurried off down the street, watching the girl round the next corner and disappear down the next street Gaara shook off the odd feeling and returned to what he was doing.

"Stupid girl…"

Chihiro leaned against a streetlamp to catch her breath, "That was.." she shivered "…Doesn't look all that strong.." she muttered as she pushed off the pole and started toward home again, but before she could pick up any speed something twisted onto her hair and yanked her back.

Yelping as she was thrown to the ground Chihiro looked up, "K-Kota?" she asked breathless, "You ass! You scared me!" she said as she pushed herself up eyeing her ninja classmate, "Why did you pull my hair?." she asked.

Kota said nothing instead pushed her back against the ground and straddled her, "Kota?!" she screamed as she began kicking her legs, "Get off me!" Chihiro could feel her heart beating, as he used one of his hands to hold both of her wrist down, Kota was a ninja and could easily overpower her.

"Kota please!" she said again, "Get off! My father is coming to get me!" That was the only thing she could thing to say, everyone was scared of her father and she could see why, 6'5 and missing one eye wasn't the ideal look.

But that wasn't the point right now, "Then I better hurry up" Kota said as he buried his face in her chestnut colored hair, "You smell nice" he said as he ran his hand up her leg and under her skirt, Chihiro fought the tears away.

But when she felt his fingers run against her womanhood she knew she had to he him off her, she quickly and swiftly brought her knee between his legs and then pushed him away, instead of being smart and running to her house she ran from it.

She was such a dumbass.

Kota was catching up with her she could feel it, she figured she could run back to Sari's…Yeah she would run to Sari's, It was a good plan too bad she wasn't fast enough, again Kota yanked her by her hair and pulled her to the ground.

"You think you could out run me?" he growled Chihiro shivered as she tried to stand up again, "Huh?!" Kota demanded as he straddled her again, This had to of been a nightmare! It just had to be just the other day her and Kota were having lunch with Boton!

Now he was…He was…She couldn't even think of it, in-between kicking and begging and screaming Chihiro managed to look over Kota and to the building behind them, he was still there but his back was turned to them.

He was her only chance, "Gaara!" she screamed, "Gaar-" she was cut off when Kota placed a hand over her mouth and leaving her hands free she started hitting him and pushing him away, twisting her head back and fourth she looked at the building again, Gaara was gone.

"No!" she thought pitifully as she kept fighting Kota off, "Somebody! Anybody help me!" she begged but inside she knew no one would come and that was because of Gaara but she wasn't going without a fight, but with Kota's ninja abilities it was no use.

Kota's hand had wormed it's way back under her skirt and was moving inside of her panties, she couldn't stop the tears this time, she tried to removed his hand from her mouth but he was stronger and merely pushed her hand away.

Using his free hand to unzip his pants Chihiro closed her eyes and waited, she waited for this horrible thing to be over and done with, but suddenly everything stopped Kota's hand had slowly lost all force and slowly was raised away from her mouth.

Opening her eyes she thought her father would be standing above her, "Dadd-" she stopped herself when she saw Kota held above her by sand gasping she stood up and back away, "W-what is that?" she asked as she pushed herself against a building.

"You asked for my help" A cold voice called from out the shadows, Chihiro bit her lip when Gaara emerged from them and looked up at the Kota, he then looked back at Chihiro "Don't think I'm doing this because you asked." He growled.

Closing his hand Kota's body…splashed…everywhere.

Placing a hand to her mouth to stop herself from screaming Chihiro felt more tears spill from her eyes, he was dead, Kota was dead…. Because of her…Oh god, she felt like vomiting she looked back at Gaara and tried to hold her sobs in.

"I only saved you because your Baki's daughter" He hissed as she disappeared in a whirl of sand, Chihiro looked at the place where he once stood and then to what remained of Kota's body, and screamed, she screamed and ran.
