Chapter 1

'Why did this have to happen to me? What did I do wrong?' The young girl thought as she ran through the forest, quickly turning her head to see if the demon was still following her. It was. She ran even faster now, not even knowing where she was going. Her legs were burning, protesting against all the work. She almost did stop as her tight red shoulder length curls got caught on an overhanging tree branch.

Finally, she got to a clearing and tripped on a tree root. She looked back and her green eyes widened as the demon came into the clearing.

She gasped and turned to the ground, flinging her arms over her head as she waited for the inevitable. That demon has been wanting to make her it's next meal ever since it laid eyes on her after she accidentally summoned it from Hell.

But nothing happened. All she heard was a softly spoken "Sand Coffin" and the demon shrieking in pain. She looked up and stared, wide eyed. The whole part of the clearing the demon was standing was covered in blood, as was the surrounding trees and bushes. She gasped as she saw the mutilated body of the demon in the middle of all the blood.

'Who did this? The one who said "Sand Coffin"?' she silently berated herself for forgetting her savior and looked behind her as 'her savior' knelt down to look at her.

He showed slight surprise as he noticed she was almost a mini him. The girl was about 3 or 4 with curly, blood red hair and black-rimmed green eyes. She was dressed in a dirty ripped up shirt and knee length skirt with worn out sandals.

She looked at him for a minute, then flung herself on the red head, sobbing into his chest. Two people gasped behind him. A blond girl with a humongous fan and a boy with a big, life-sized doll strapped to his back.

"Gaara, are you ok?" asked the blond girl.

"I'm fine Temari, why wouldn't I be?"

"No reason to get angry at Temari or anything Gaara. It's just you usually don't let anyone touch you." The boy said.

Gaara looked at them for a few minutes before bringing his attention back to the little girl crying in his shirt. Temari walked over and kneeled next to Gaara.

"Excuse me, little girl." The girl looked at Temari, slightly hiding behind Gaara. "My name is Temari and these are my brothers Kankuro" the boy smiled at her "and Gaara." Gaara nodded. "What's your name?"

The girl held onto Gaara tightly and wondered if she could trust her. After a few minutes, she said "Hikari" and let exhaustion finally take her and she blacked out, falling unconscious in Gaara's arms.

Gaara felt her pulse and, strangely, was relieved to feel it beating normally.

"She must be really tired to just pass out like that. I wonder what happened to her?" Kankuro looked curiously at the sleeping girl.

"I know, me too. What are we going to to do with her?" asked Temari.

"She's staying with us. I'm going to take care of her." Gaara said abruptly, shocking his two siblings.

"But Gaara, why?" asked Temari.

Gaara just picked up Hikari and walked in the direction they were going before she showed up, Temari and Kankuro following.

"Because." They waited patiently for him to continue. "She reminds me of myself when I was her age. Strangely enough, I want to help her."

Well, there's the first chapter. Hope you enjoyed it and please review. I love to hear feedback. I will not except anything in any of my stories about how much this story sucks or how much of a Mary-Sue my characters are. Most of my stories are old and were written when i wasn't very good at making up characters without giving them enough faults to make it obvious that they aren't Mary-Sues and i kinda write them as i would like to be. Having asthma and allergies and stuff makes it kinda hard to do anything fun for the amount of time that i would like. I have to stop dancing before i want to and it sucks! ^^() i already know what my characters are like, so please don't tell me. And this place is called fanfiction for a reason. Sorry, just thought i would get that off my chest after getting a negative review for A Tale Of Two Mothers. Kinda made me want to cry...well, see you in the next chapter.

most of the time that i type something up, i have to listen to music. If i remember to i will type them at the end of the chapter so you can go listen to some amazing music that you might not have ever heard of before. Sometimes it will repeat what i put down in other chapters cause i just put my music on shuffle.
