CH. 1 SANITY LASTS ONLY SO LONG.
Amy sighed, tapping her pencil on her paper, extremely bored. 'I wish a handsome stranger will come and sweep me off my feet and away from here, for whatever reason!' she thought.
slowly she started to think about what she would do if someone actually came and took her away.
Suddenly she heard the sound that sand makes when its blowing in the wind. A sort of scratchy, yet soothing sound. Amy jumped and twisted around to her left at the empty desk there. Sand was swirling gracefully in a small tornado slowly it died away revealing a shocking shade of blood red hair, pale porcelin like skin, and painted onyx coloured lids, closed. He spoke, "Amy, you're coming with me."
"Wh-what? How do you know who i am?!" Amy jumped away only to run into the wall behind her and fall back into her seat again. "W-who are you?!"
"Heh, how do i know? I have my sources. I know almost everything about you, Amy, right down to what fabric of the sky blue pajamas you wore last night." The boy's head slowly turned to face Amy,"My name is ..." his eyes opened to reveal two identical orbs of azure light "Gaara." His eyes seemed to be looking right down into her soul. She shyed away, but then, Amy realized she had nothing to hide. Her eyes stared into his, trying to figure out his purpose.
Gaara laughed inwardly, 'they didn't lie, she is brave ... or perhaps ... just foolish? Her eyes said she was scared of me, but now ... ' Gaara retained his emotionless expression throughout all inner dialog. "You're coming with me to train and become a shinobi. Choose one other. I will return when you have chosen, hurry. The changes will start soon." With that the small particals of sand swirled around him caressing him and taking him away.
Amy blinked, 'Choose one other? Going with him? He will come back when i have chosen? Changes? What kind of changes?!? What did it all mean?!!', "What - what just happened ... " Amy looked up into the eyes of her classmates, they were all staring at her. Their eyes all focused on her, unflinching. their gaze causing immense claustrophobia. "AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!" Suddenly her eyes burned like fire, the pain was almost unbearable! She starred up at the boy in front of her, his name was Trevor, she knew that, nut everything was so blurry. "P-p-ple-please ... h-hel-p m-me!"
Trevor's eyes widened in shock and a small amount of horror. "Y-your eyes, the colour ... its ... its ... changing."
"What colour!?" Amy lunged towards Trevor, clutching at his shirt. Panic creeping up on her.
"O-orange ... Amy ... i ... i'm sorry." Trevor had tears running down his face, he hadn't been able to help her. At all.
Her eyes started to cool down a little, instantly Amy could sense everything and everyone around her for a 10 mile radius. There was someone behind her! She swung around, to find her friend Heather standing there. There were markings on her face, she was the one Amy had unconsiously chose. Again sand filled that corner of the classroom. Gaara had returned. "Are you final in your decisions?"
The teacher, Mr. K, found his voice. "H-hang on a minute! You can't take one of my students directly from the class-OOF!!" Gaara's sand had knocked him out.
"You didn't kill him ... did you?" Amy looked sternly at Gaara impassive face. His eyes were not open.
"No. He is in pain" Gaara looked up into Amy's eyes. He felt, something, he couldn't describe it. Gaara was experience an emotion, it was guilt. Through her eyes, he had felt something, no one ... NO ONE had ever been able to do that! not pain, not love, nothing. he had only experienced 3 emotions; hate, fear, and bloodlust. the last to came from the sand demon. But now, guilt had a place in his heart, and with guilt comes the need to make up for what he had done. "H-he needs medical attention." His eyes averted Amy's.
"Thank you for informing us of that. Can someone please call 9-1-1?" Amy looked at her class mates. "Say something exploded, or something!"
Someone started to laugh, Amy twitched ... she knew who it was ... Jason, a complete fake of a person. "Do you really think you could ever do something like him?! You, fight?! you've got to be kidding me!" the taunt struck home, voices started to resound around in her head. 'Kill him ... attack ... he insulted you ... killllll' She was starting to lose it ... she snapped. Immediately Amy was standing before Jason and was holding him by the collar of his shirt, Jason's feet were not touching the ground. "How, dare you!! Her eyes had turned blood red and were glowing faintly. Her hand clasped around Jason's neck, squeezing. "You insulted her, and she lost control. Allowing me to take over. But, if you insult her, you insult me!"
Gaara's eyes widened! 'She can't be? The third demon, Kogasu, the Firewind demon, it usually burns its host to ash and blows the body into the wind. never to be found again. but ... this girl, how long had the demon been with her? both had been insulted by that boy?! That boy ... was in severe danger!!' Gaara reacted swiftly, his arms wraped around Amy's body. One arm over her shoulder and up the arm that threatened the boy's life, the other around her small waist. "Stop ... Kogasu." Amy's body convulsed releasing Jason from her grasp. He fell to the floor, hacking up blood and clutching his throat, not dead though. "You should not kill in this realm, it will cause severe damage to your host body's life."
Kogasu nodded "I understand ... Gaara." The demon returned to its resting place inside Amy's mind, letting the body fall into Gaara's arms.
Gaara turned towards Heather "Are you the one she chose?" Heather nodded. "Come here." Heather stepped forward, and with that movement complete the sand consumed them and carried away, off to the Hidden Sand Village.
