Gaara's Friend

Chapter 1:Monster

A/N: Sorry if this story is crap, I just thought of this last night so, um yeah. For those of you who haven't gotten to Gaara's childhood part yet: HIs father wants to kill him. Ok? Ok. by the way, I don't know too much about the plot line at this time myself, so i will try my hardest!

"It's Gaara! Gaara of the sand! Run!" Gaara was planning to give a group of kids their ball back, but all they would do is run. Run away, run from Gaara, Gaara of the sand.

"W-wait! Come back!" He reached out his hand, but unintentionally used the sand and grabbed one girl by the leg.

"Ah!" The girl screamed. Again, Gaara reached out his hand, but then a figure jumped in front of the girl. If was his uncle, Yashamaru.

"Gaara, please, calm down!"

Gaara was mad by his own actions and started running away.

"Gaara! Come back!" His uncle yelled.

Gaara stopped and got his breath.

"Hi!" A girl popped out of the bushes.

"Gah!" Gaara said, falling backwards.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!" A girl with her hair up in two spiky twisted ponytails, stared back at him. She looked about his age (6), and very cute.

"Who are you?"

"Oh! My name is Naru! You sure scared Ayame back there!"

"Ayame?"

"She's the girl whose leg you grabbed. Why did you do that anyways?"

"I-I didn't mean to, it just sorta happened. The sand just, moved!"

"Wow! That's sooo cool! Your name is Gaara, right?"

"Y-yeah. You...aren't scared of me?"

She blinked. "Should I be?"

Naru gave him her hand and helped him up.

"Thanks,"

"These flowers, they are so pretty!" Naru picked up a giant sunflower and twirled around.

"So, um you live around here?"

"Yeah! My house is a couple of blocks around here! Hey want to play a game?"

"Uh yeah sure," Young Gaara was shocked by the politeness this girl gave him.

"Tag! You're it!" Naru went over to tag him, but a sand barrier protected him.

"Ah!" She fell backwards, just as Gaara had done a minute ago.

'Oh great, now Naru is going to be scared of me,' He thought.

But, to his shock (again) she started laughing.

"Why did the sand go up like that?" Naru asked.

"It's my defense system. Even if you weren't trying to hurt me, it just happens. I can't control it,"

"Aw, that's too bad... Hey! Will your parents get mad if you stay at my house for a little while?"

What would the Kazekage do? Probably nothing.

"Uh I guess,"

WEEEEEEE

"This is my room! And-"

"Naru, who's your friend?" A tall woman with dark hair in a bun was standing by the door.

"Oh, um, this is... Gaara,"

Naru's mom glared at Gaara and then said, "Okay honey. Be careful," She turned and left.

Gaara was having fun, for the second time in his life. The first time is when his father bought him his first kunai and he ripped open all of his teddy bears.

"Gaara, um, can you at least try to stop the sand?"

"I, I guess," He shut his eyes and concentrated. Naru put his hand on the sand ninja's shoulder. No sand.

"Yay Gaara! You did it!" She hugged him and they fell over.

Hey, I think we should make it up to Ayame,"

"Yeah, you are right. I think my uncle can make some ointment for her," He said.

"Ok!" She said and giggled and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

WEEEEEE

"Bye Gaara! See you later!" Naru said, waving and jumping up and down.

"Bye,"

Later on, Gaara went to Ayame's house and knocked. She opened the door.

"Uh, here! I'm sorry for earlier. It must've been painful. So i brought you some ointment..."

"Go away! Monster!" And slammed the door in his face.

(A/N: Gaara did murder someone on his way back, but i think I'll just skip that part. If you want to c it, go 2 youtube and type in:Gaara's childhood)

Gaara walked home and started crying.

"W-why me?" Naru hid, watching her friend. She followed him because she just really like him. He wasn't like most boys who would make fun of her spikey hair and laugh at her. Now, five kunai were heading towards the sobbing Gaara.

"Gaara! Gaara, watch out!"

"Huh?" He turned around in time to see Naru jump out in front of him and got hit by the kunai.

"Ah!" She screamed.

"Naru!"

She didn't need to protect him, the sand did.

He turned to look at his attacker. The Kazekage, and his father.

"Father! Why-"

The Kazekage went over and stabbed Naru with the kunai. She screamed with pain.

"It's over, Gaara. She's dead. You don't need friends, friends make you weak.

Tears rolled from Gaara's eyes as he ran back home.

A monster. I am nothing but a murdering monster.

A/N: That's not all of it. Later on, his uncle attacks him, but that's what really happens. It's not just my fanfic.
