Chapter 1
(urgh)...Gaara moaned as woke from what seemed to be a long nap.
Little did he realize that in reality, that he had just recently been killed at the hands of Deidara, one of the ruthless members of the Akatsuki, but thanks to a twist of fate he was spared..
"Where am I?" Gaara wondered as he brushed the dirt from hair. From what he could tell, he was in the middle of a unknown desert, sometime around noon. "Humph. I should be in the Sand Village, Why am I here?" Gaara thought to himself...
Because you see, his body had perished in the Mortal World, and his spirit was headed to the Spirit World, but a old mage named Chiyo-Ba Sama used a unique life-transfer technique that brought him back to life, but there was a problem...
"I have got to find my village!" said Gaara as he walked crossing his arms, Gaara summoned a large wave of sand to ride atop of, and used it to barrel along through the arid desert. "(ugh)..Let me think..the last thing I remember was the fight I had with that guy named Deidara above the sand village..Did I lose? No, I couldn't have..but if I did, where is he now?" Gaara thought to himself...
Before his spirit had completely returned to the his own world, the mage had died. So when his spirit returned, it had returned to the wrong time, and his physical body followed his spirit through time. Unbenounced to Gaara, he had been sent mistakenly to the land of the Avatars. This is his story...
He rode the wave for what seemed to be hours, until he came upon a city surrounded by a large rock wall, known to the locals as Ba-Sing-Se, the fortress city. As he neared the Great Wall, he bent the wave of sand he rode into a large pillar to scale it. Once over, he bent the pillar back into a wave and safely glided himself to the ground. Needless to say, the locals were surprised to see this sight of Earth mastery at such a young age, and mistakenly took him for an invader...
At that very moment, a cry echoed throughout the streets "AAAHHH!! Someone has broken through the Great Wall! Someone do something!" as the townspeople fled in fear
"Idiots! All I wanted to know was where I was." yelled Gaara "They didn't even give me time explain myself..hmph, it's starting to feel like home already.." Gaara thought to himself
Suddenly, Gaara heard a sound coming from the ground..it sounded like something was burrowing..and it was getting closer. Instinctively, Gaara tried to evade the sound but it vain. It was apparent now to him that whoever or whatever was burrowing was following him intentionally..
"Who are you? Show yourself" he demanded as he stood in his fighting stance preping himself for a surprise attack
The sounds grew louder as it drew closer and closer. Over time the burrowing seemed to circle the boy until finally the sounds stopped completely. An awkward silence filled the air with the boy knowing full well he was gonna have to fight..Just then what looked to be 10 soldiers and a man with a large pony-tail came up out of the ground and surrounded Gaara.
The man with pony-tail proceeded to step forward, confronted Gaara and said "My name is Long Fang, leader of the Dia-Li. If you have any weapons, please drop them and come with us quietly, otherwise we will be forced to attack."
Gaara looked at the agents over and asked "And how do I know that you are not going to attack me as soon as I put my weapons down anyway?" Gaara answered smugly.
Long Fang smirked and said "Heh-Heh-Heh..You don't!"
