Chapter 1
"Oh come on sweetie it will be fun, it's not every day your mom gets permission to let you go on a mission with her." The women said squatting down so she could look her daughter in the eye.
"Besides this way you can see The Hidden Sand Village doesn't that sound like fun?" The woman was now smiling from ear to ear, the little girl was excited but she wasn't going to let her mom know that.
"Well what is the mission?" The child asked her mother calmly, hiding her excitement.
"We are to go to the Hidden Sand and protect two of the Kazekages children. That's all, they are only a couple years older than you. He actually has a child that's only a year older than you too, but he is not part of the mission. But who knows you may get lucky and meet him." Her mother said smiling in excitement.
The girl had never left the village before, and while she was enrolled in the academy she was nowhere near as good as some shinobi, she was only six after all. But she knew her mother would protect her.
"Okay, let's go!" The little girl said while smiling back at her mom.
"That's the spirit! Now go pack up we will be leaving in two hours." The little girl's mouth dropped.
"What did you say?!" She yelled questioning her mother.
"I didn't think it would take so long to convince you.' Her mother said laughing and scratching the back of her head. While her daughter had run off to pack for the mission.
The girl had never run so much in her life and for so long! It took them three days to get to the Hidden Sand, three days. Her mother told her that it normally took that to get there, but the little girl still felt like she was a turtle.
"Oh come on cheer up, you kept up very well most kids your age would've died on this trip so stand tall and be proud." Her mother said smiling down at her. The girl on the other hand just fell to the ground. When they first arrived at the gates she was in utter awe. She had never seen anything like it before. Plus the way the village was laid out was completely different from hers and all the shinobi everywhere, they looked at her funky but she was okay with that, she was too much in awe about everything. She was so wrapped up in it she had forgotten how tired and hungry she was, and how heavy her legs felt. Now the time for being in amazement was over, now she was face down on the ground feeling like she was going to die. All she could hear was her mother laughing at her.
"Come one, we aren't done yet we still have to go see the Kazekage. Or at least I do." The girl got up and started, reluctantly, fallowing her mother. Once they reached the Kazekage building the girl was surprised it looked like the one in her village, it was round and in the middle of the village, but like everything else here it was made of sand. Her mother gave her a conferring look while the little girl looked up at her unsure.
"It'll be okay." Her mother said softly. The little girl only nodded in return. They entered the building and walked up to the top floor where the Kazekages office was. They were walking down the hallway and the girl noticed two kids standing in front of the office they were heading to, a boy and a girl. The boy had brown spiky hair and looked two years or so older than herself. His eyes were black and looked a bit distant. The girl with him looked a year older than him. She had a dirty blonde color hair and it was in four spiky pony tails behind her head. She had blue greenish eyes. The girl thought she had pretty eyes. The two kids turned their heads to see the girl and her mother walking up to them. They gave the girl and her mother looks that made the girl think they weren't too happy to see them.
"You must be Temari and Kankuro, right?" The mother said looking at the children with a small smile.
"You must be the hidden leaf shinobi that is supposed to guard us." The little boy, named kankuro, said.
"Yep and this here is my daughter she will be with me on this mission, her name is-"
"Don't care just make sure she doesn't get in the way, or distract you from your priority." Kankuro said coldly before he gave the girl a glare and walked off with his sister down the hall without giving them a second glace.
"Well aren't they friendly." Her mother said sarcastically. "You wait right here I'm going to talk with the Kazekage, I'll be right back." Her mother smiled at her then knocked on the door and entered without being given the okay to enter.
That's her for you, never even waiting. The little girl thought smiling. She put her back against the wall across from the door and fell to the ground. She hugged her knees close to her face and waited for her mother to return. Right when she was getting a bit bored a shinobi came running down the hall.
"He's here!" He hissed through gritted teeth. There was fear in his voice.
That was weird. Who's here? When she turned her head her question was answered. There stood a boy maybe a year older than her with red hair and turquoise colored eyes shrouded in black. The girl was in shock by him, she had never seen eyes so...so lonely and filled with such hatred. On his forehead she saw the word love in red. She had a good feeling it wasn't marker.
Gaara just stared at the girl, she was looking at him in a way he had not seen before. She was strangely not scared. He looked at the girl carefully, she was not from here. She looked so fragile, she had a very small body with ivory pale skin and jet black hair pulled into a high ponytail that ended in the middle of her back, she had bangs that fell on her gracefully and she had two strands of hair on either side of her face that went all the way down past her shoulders. Her face had soft features, a small mouth and big white eyes with no pupils in them. He didn't like the way she was looking at him. Granted it wasn't in fear or hatred but it was still a weird look. Her bright white eyes staring at him. He wanted her to stop. The sand around him went to her a picked her up from her neck and lifted her off the ground and held her up against the wall. She was grabbing at her throat kicking and trying to scream. She was trying to get free, he would not let her go. Those eyes, he didn't want to see them anymore!
"P-P-Please…" She quietly begged. He didn't listen. He heard the door he was heading to open and there stood a woman he had not seen before. She stood at around 5'7, she was taller than most. She had jet black hair that was held together in a bun with chopsticks. And white eyes that had no pupils in them. But what really surprised him was the uniform she was wearing. It didn't belong to the Hidden Sand. The look on her face when she saw the girl was of horror and shock. She looked at Gaara, the side of her eyes now had veins on them and she was not looking at him in a kindly manner, something he was use too.
" .Go." She hissed through her teeth.
She must be the girl's mother. Gaara thought. They looked a lot alike in many ways.
""S-S-top…" Was the last thing the little girl said before Gaara dropped her. He didn't do it because she asked him to, he did it because she stopped breathing. She had to be dead. The women ran over to her daughter and shook her trying to wake her up.
"Nana! Nana please wake up!" She was screaming at the girl and pounding on her chest trying to resuscitate her. Gaara knew she would not wake up. He was going too walked into his father office when he heard coughing. He looked over and saw the girl, coughing and moving to get up. She was alive. Gaara was shocked, he was sure he had killed her. But there she was alive. She looked up at him, he expected to see fear and anger in her eyes but there wasn't. Just confusion and sadness. Gaara quickly turned away from her and headed into his father's office. He couldn't look at those eyes again.
Nana and her mother were in a small hotel room where they were staying until the mission was over. Her mother was staring out the window, an emotionless look on her face. Nana was not use to seeing this from her mother. Nana sat on the ground looking at her feet. That boy had tried to kill her, but she wasn't mad. The look in his eyes, they were so lonely. Nana sat deep in thought until her mother broke her out of it.
"So now you've meet the third child." Nana looked up at her mom confused.
"That boy, the one who…" She couldn't say it. "He's the Kazekages youngest child. And he's the reason we are here." Nanas face got more confused.
Why is he the reason? She thought her mother was to guard the other two. Her mother looked at her and saw her face and decided she needed to tell her daughter.
"We are guarding his siblings…from him." Nana face dropped more, she didn't understand. Those were his siblings why would they need protection from him?
"He is, as you have seen, a bit out of control at the moment. They wanted someone who could keep a close eye on the other two and make sure he didn't hurt them."
"But, why?" Nanas mother looked at her confused.
"Why? You have seen firsthand the answer to that question" Her mother stated bluntly while turning to look at her.
"He's their brother they should be helping him! Not avoiding him like he is some illness or something! They should be standing by his side and trying to make him less lonely. They should not be hiding from him." Nana had stood up and was waving her, no clenched, hands around. She was upset, they were his sibling they should be trying to help him! Nanas mother was looking at her daughter in shock. The boy had tried to kill her and here she was defending him, like he had never done anything wrong. She smiled at her daughter, her innocence made her happy.
Maybe there is hope for that boy. She thought smiling at her daughter, while Nana looked at her mother confused.
Nana couldn't stop the tears flowing from her eyes. Her mind couldn't work. All she could see was blood, there was so much blood. It covered her face, her hair, her clothes…the blood it was, it was her mothers. She couldn't take her eyes off her mother's lifeless body. She had her hands on her mother, she was trying to wake her up. She couldn't be dead, she can't be dead.
"M-Mom, mom please, please wake up." Nana could hear her words catching in her throat. This was a dream it had to be a dream. She looked up to see Gaara, he was also covered in blood. The same blood, her mother's blood. Nana couldn't see his face but she saw what happened.
He had killed her. Gaara killed her mother. Tears were flowing down Nanas face as she screamed into the emptiness of the night.
