Chapter 1- Building sandcastles (Gaahina)
5 year old Gaara sat in the sandbox at the park all alone. He looked at all the other children playing together and sighed. His brother and sister could play with the other kids, but they all screamed and ran away when he approached them. What was wrong with him? " Why wont anyone play with me?" He wondered aloud as yet another sandcastle emerged before him.
"I-I'll play w-with y-you…" Gaara looked up to see a young girl who promptly blushed pale pink. She was smaller than him and was probably about his age, though looked younger. Her Indigo hair was short and her pale eyes were pupil-less with a hint of lavendar.
"Who are you?" Gaara glared at her before looking around. All the other childre, including his brother and sister, were staring slack-jawed at the girl and him. "M-my n-name is H-Hinata H-Hyuuga…" Her voice trailed off before she turned to run away, cheeks flushed.
However, she had barely gone a step before a voice said: "Stop." She immediately froze, then looked down at her shoes like they were the best thing since ice cream. The voice went on:"My father is the Kazekage, so you have to do what I say. Now sit down and play with me." Hinata turned around. "H-Hai." She stammered as she sat beside Gaara. "W-What do you want t-to p-play?"
Gaara just shrugged and built another sandcastle. So that's what the two of them ended up doing until the sun set: building sancastles.
