Episode 2: A New Ally Approaches!

The bush continued to rumble as Gaara stared in suspense. The bird ,as frightened as it was, tried to fly off but, in its condition all the efforts worsened and hindered it. Gaara felt that there was no more time to wait. He quickly slammed his fist into the ground., the earth beneath the two began to rumble, shake for the matter. As a wall of immense sand quickly toppled the bush. The leaves and twigs of the bush began to unreel. The bush itself crumbled and was destroyed by the immense pressure Gaara summoned. When the sand began to subside the bird was frightened by the power the child had unleashed, though thankful that he would protect him. The bird turned toward the now shattered bush, and saw what was making such fuss. Gaara looked at the bush with displeasure at what he saw, it was nothing but just a lowly python. Not even worthy for the effort of chakra he placed in that attack. As he looked away and towards the mild blue sky, the leaves of the trees glided softly on the air before his eyes. It was fall for the matter, and that in just a couple of days, winter would come, therefore leaving the fact that life on the road will be harder for him. As well as the survival rate of his little friend would greatly decrease if it didn't receive medical attention soon. Gaara squinted his eyes thinking "What should I do now…? I have no clue where the nearest town is, nor the nearest village, for the matter." As he pondered amongst his thoughts, fiddling his fingers. "Hey….kid, you with that pipsqueak of a bird you have there, why are you out here anyways? Its dangerous for a little kid like you to be out here in the midst of day." said a strange voice behind the duo. The bird startled, looked backwards, as so did Gaara. Gaara noticed the man had covered up his face with bandages, as if trying to be all mysterious. By the looks of his jacket and his headband, it was by instinct that this strange young man was a member of the ANBU from the Village Hidden in the Mist. "So are you going to talk?" said the man, Gaara gasped as it startled him in the midst of his thoughts. Gaara abruptly yelled "Why are you here? What do I have to affiliate with you? What's your name in the first place!? Are you here…to capture me?"

"Capture a little peep squeak like you? I wouldn't even take a mission like that, first of all. Tell me why you're out here anyways? And by the way I'm Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. Telling by your age and by the looks of you, I don't think you're a ninja, more likely I can't really tell where your from, mine explaining to me?"

"The name is Gaara….Gaara of the Sand Village. But my business out here is none of your business anyways. Do you hear?!"

Zabuza looked at him sternly, in question why such a young child like him would be out here all alone. He looked at him warmly, with a gentle soft tone said; "I don't want you to die out here, it wouldn't look good on my resume now would it?" he said jokingly, "How about you come with me back at my place, I'll make sure that the Mizukage won't know about you, but only as my new apprentice. So that you'll be safe, hey your better off with me than out here. If I'm not mistaken. As well I'll make sure that little friend of yours will be healed and healthy in a few days." Gaara gasped at the kindness of the stranger in who he just met. But he thought "Is this some kind of an illusion, just like what Yashamaru did?" Gaara decided that he'd better risk it for the sake of his little friend, or else in a couple of days, he may not even make it. Gaara looked towards him and nodded okay, and in reply Zabuza did the same. Zabuza swiftly turned around sternly saying "Then let's go." As he just began walking, leaving a trail of dust behind him. Gaara looked over and placed the bird atop his shoulder, then obediently followed the young man.
