Innocence
A long mission,
A long night,
A tiresome day…
My mission required me to leave home.
Dangerous mission, too.
Even coming home, I bore a lot of small wounds.
I was exhausted.
I drag myself through the desert-like village,
Staring at the moonlit sky.
Hoping my brothers are not awake,
When sliding through the door of my home.
After I shut the door behind myself,
I froze.
Did I smell fresh blood?
I wondered, cautiously walking about the house.
I went upstairs, and emerged my eldest young brother's room.
As I opened the door, a smell so strong almost knocked me down.
I stumbled, dizzy from the intense smell… of blood.
Then I saw it.
My dear brother, Kankurou, laid in a bloody mess on the floor.
Parts of his body looked crushed, some limbs pulled from the sockets.
This gruesome sight was too much…
I doubled over and puked, shaking in fear.
Suddenly, a thought struck me.
Surly, my youngest brother, Gaara, was alright!
…Right?
I wiped my mouth, and ran out of the room, slamming the door.
With a deep breath, I slowly approached Gaara's room, and I slowly opened the door.
Tears began to flow from my eyes as I smelt a small essence of blood.
The door flung open.
Gaara was alright…
Sort of.
I dashed over to him, crying, shouting out his name.
Without thinking, I flung my arms around him.
"You are alright! …But Kankurou…"
I sobbed silently, before I saw a rush of sand out of the corner of my eye.
"Gaara…?"
I asked, confused, although my body felt weak, as if it knew something was wrong...
I pulled away, my eyes wide with fright.
The demon in my brother, once again, had surfaced.
Kankurou's blood framed his body, his eyes bloodshot.
"We got in a fight…"
He murmured in a husky voice, grinning.
…I sobbed…
"I'll protect you…"
I said limply, rubbing the tears from my eyes.
"…From yourself."
He looked up at me, surprised, and confused.
Swirling sand rested…
As I held my little, innocent brother.
Yeah...
I like Gaara x Temari.
Don't waste your time flaming. ;D
This was more of... me wanting to show Temari's innocence.
Temari would never ever want anyone to take away her baby brothers.
But if Gaara was the cause of it, I can imagine her losing it in the head a little. .>
