Legend of the Sand and Sun
You are a Sapphire
Bright, Bold and Beautiful.
Never forget that.
Never let anyone else tell you differently
And always fight for what you believe in.
A single blade of light flickered off from the sand hills as the sun set. A small boy was sitting on a swing, closely holding the ropes on the sides. People pointed and yelled as they walked by him. He was lonely, wanting nothing more but to have a friend. Was that too much to ask? No one accepted him for who he was. They always called him a monster. A 'terrible curse to this once peaceful land.' But it was true that he was a monster. He was the One-tails Jinchuriki anyways.
"Hey it's the little monster who has no friends!" A boy a little bit older than him pointed. The boy's two friends joined in and laughed.
"You outcast! Just get out of here! No one wants you!" A girl snickered; he lowered his head on the swing. Just trying to ignore them. A shadow fell upon him, he looked up at it. A young girl with beautiful brown hair was standing in front of him, her arms spread out protecting him.
"If you ask me, you're the real monsters here!" She defended him, his eyes widened at the girl. The two boys and the girl were absolutely shocked. No one had ever come to his rescue before, because no one had the guts to.
"What are you doing defending him?" The boy who spoke in the first time asked.
"Well no one else will. So I figured that I would." She looked at him out from the corner of her eye.
"But why?" He asked again. His two friends had a shocked expression in their eyes.
"Because he has the same look that I use to have, the look that he wants a friend. And as long as I am breathing, I will make sure that no one else has that loneliness in their eyes!" She yelled, the three kids backed off and ran away. As soon as she was certain that they weren't going to come back, she turned around and looked at him. Kindness shining in her sapphire colored eyes; the girl was about a year younger than him. But yet she stood up to the kids who were bullying him. Even though they were a lot older and bigger than she was.
"Are you alright?" She asked, smiling down at him. Why did she defend me? He desperately thought, but ended up nodding at her question. She made a funny face at him. "Come on then, you can give a better answer than just a head nod." He blinked and tried to find his voice.
"I am fine." He finally replied. She smiled even wider at him.
"What's your name?"
"G-Gaara."
"Well nice to meet you Gaara. My name is Kyimara!" Kyimara kept smiling and took his hand, forcing him to stand up. "Let be friends!"
