It's really short, I know. But I have been struggling with writers block, and this came into mind. I was hoping it would break the block; but it doesnt appear to have. This is the first story I have asked for help with...with wording and constructive criticism. ANd its still very short. But this part is just the starter to the story.

BTW: Disclaimer; Naruto characters do not belong to me

It didn't make sense. There were two options; only two. He had already nearly killed the boy countless times. The first one who had penetrated his defense, and now he had to finish the job. Sand was calling for him to crush the invalid, and get it over with...

Standing over the injured boy, Gaara sighed heavily.It was a human action that was unlike him...but he couldn't fight his nature. Try as he might to deny it, he WAS a human. No matter how much he rejected the notion; he also came with human emotions, human instincts. But there was also his other characteristics; his demonic instinct. The very ones that protected him, that ordered his sand without conscious thought. He was no longer a child that believed it to be his mother...he was a young man whose thoughts revolved around blood, death and depression. His past was always lingering in his mind; leaving him unable to trust anyone. But then again, there was this boy. This boy he had come so close to killing...the boy he had tortured during exams...the boy he still wanted to kill...but couldn't. It was starting to annoy Gaara to no end...

The sand was stirring in his gourd, begging to be released and feast upon the sweet blood of the youth. It would taste delicious. He knew it would, because he had gotten a preview when he injured the older ninja. He wanted more blood, but right after casting Lee into unconsciousness; the sand ninja felt guilty. For the first time since he was a child, he felt bad for injuring someone. He wanted to destroy these feelings; to destroy the thick lashed boy...but everytime he tried...he couldn't finish it.

Panic rose in Gaara's chest as he watched Lee stir. The eyelids fluttered before opening fully to reveal warm dark brown eyes. Aqua eyes stared back for a moment before a cloud of sand signaled the ivory boy's exit.

Lee blinked in shock and dazed confusion; unsure if he had been hallucinating...or if his attacker had really been in the room with him.

"Gaara-san?"
