Gaara approached the managers of the traveling freak show that had stopped by in Sunagakure. They were big, burly men with black dots for eyes. The two of them were sitting in their main tent, with the young demon curled up and glaring at them from inside a small cage that they were sitting in front of. They were loudly chatting with each other over the fate of the small girl.
"I've had enough of the little bitch. All she does is whine and glare and mope. She can't dance, she won't sing, and her just sitting there just doesn't attract customers like it used to. She's too… human looking." One of them said, exhaling a long puff from an expensive cigar.
"She's our best act! Everyone loves to see a beat up demon failing. It gives them confidence." The other one said.
"Which is exactly what gets them killed when they stumble into one."
"And what do you care?"
"I don't."
"And that's why you're my partner. Now relax. All we have to do is put up an 'extortion' act in the next big city. We'll be rich, and rid of this fucking whore."
"I don't know… Which city can we go to? Iwigakure? I hear word they don't particularly like demons."
"Ha! That's a laugh. Iwa ninjas are 'demons' themselves."
"Konohagakure then? I'm sure they would love to see some aspect of the Kyuubi die."
"Hmm.. Good point. It's possible to do so, but Konoha is far inland; it would take far too long to get there; not to mention there aren't many big villages along the way.."
"The payout would be worth it in the end, I would think." He took another long draw from his cigar. "Besides, Konoha is far closer to where we are now than Iwa, or any of the other big villages."
"Whenekere sinakem pertuse. Shakrat sem tikrato ret piame. Net harsamtu shakrat wer raku sha! Ttaka?"
The girl was muttering under her breath in a strange, garbled language. Gaara easily picked up the sounds with his sharp hearing, and it sounded familiar. Shukaku sprang to life in his mind and gave a quick translation.
"Pathetic, Miserable fools. You only care for paper. Come sunrise, you will all be dead. Understand?"
"Ha. She's just as conniving as her father. Do you wish to aid her, Gaara? Do you wish to see their blood for what they have done to our kind? It will be marvelous!"
Gaara shoved Shukaku's thoughts out of his mind and cleared his throat to catch the managers' attentions. Either they didn't hear him, or didn't care. He would make them care. He formed a chair of sand in front of the girl's cage and seated himself. 'To hell with etiquette. These so-called men don't deserve it anyway,' he thought.
He pushed his fingertips together into a wide triangle shape, and glared over his hands towards the two burly managers.
"I couldn't help but overhear your little conversation, and have an interesting proposition for you…"
Author's notes-
I'm afraid this one is as short as the first--
I'm still getting used to writing more than two-shot stories, and I'm trying to get to the plot quickly, but it's difficult. Anyway, the language, should it actually appear (This is kind of a test of that) is greek symbols. I was hoping for Sanskrit, but my computer doesn't have it. ;; Sanskrit is really pretty when written, and I didn't want to use Japanese or Chinese because it was supposed to be an ancient language, and while both are old, theyre rather common and still used to write language today. Besides, they're not as pretty as Sanskrit. XD So I settled for greek instead of just symbols. (Which would have taken FOREVER to write.) So yah. Please review, people! Much love!
Ebilangelpheonix… OF DOOM!
Ps- I think gaara's a little out of character in this chapter… but that might be my stupid imagination talking. HELP!
Update!
Hi! A few seconds after I realized that the greek wasn't working, I tried making my own little language. Tell me what you think!
