Chapter 1
Gaara stared at his siblings they were watching a movie from where they sat on the couch.
A girl was brutally slaughtered in the movie and Kankuro burst out laughing.
Gaara's eyes narrowed not understanding what was so funny about it.
Kankuro turned to Temari, "Ne, Temari this killer is nothing compared to the real life horror we have to face everyday."
"Yeah that is true Gaara really is a monster," Temari sneered.
"Yeah, the most terrifying one there is." Kankuro agreed.
Gaara took a step back hiding himself deeper in the shadows. 'They still think of me as a monster? I'm trying to change… I really am… but no one… no one gives me a chance… can I change my image of them?'
Baki glared at Gaara having heard what Temari and Kankuro said, he was daring the redhead to try and attack the two siblings…
Baki walked over to the siblings and pointed towards Gaara. Both Kankuro and Temari turned around and upon seeing the redhead there faces changed in a way that topped the person's expression in the movie.
Fear filled the two sand siblings as they wondered what Gaara would do… he had obviously overheard that entire thing…
"Gaara…" Kankuro said nervously.
Gaara felt tears build up in his eyes, he scared his siblings… they still believed he was a monster… 'I had promised that I would get rid of anything that scared my siblings, but I scare them, so tell me... how does that work? I guess I have to get rid of myself… but maybe there is a chance that I can change myself… maybe I can make them not fear me… if they are still afraid of me after a month… I will kill myself, it's not like they'd miss me anyway…'
Gaara quickly turned around and made his way to his room, slamming the door shut behind him.
Kankuro and his sister watched Gaara's retreating back with nervous eyes and only when they heard the door slam shut did they let the breath they had been holding out.
"You two need to be more careful…" Baki said staring at the both of them.
Both Temari and Kankuro nodded showing that they knew they needed to already.
Baki sent the two sibling one last glance before leaving the house.
Gaara collapsed leaning heavily against the closed door. Tears started streaming down his face… he was a failure… in everything he tried to do. He'd probably fail in trying to make his siblings not fear him anymore, but it was worth a shot. He'd give it a try and if he failed this time… that would be the last failure… hopefully he'd be able to succeed in killing himself, then in death he'd do at least one thing right. '30 days… 30 days and if you don't succeed then it will be over… it will all be over.'A/N: I hope you all like it and don't forget to leave your precious reviews.
