Yo-yo-yiggity-yo! Chapter 2! Let's go go!
"Get away from us we don't want to play with you!" Midori, one of the children Kairi wanted to play with, said. "But...I have no one to play with." Kairi said looking at her feet. "We don't care just go away, you're weird." Midori said, walking away with the other kids. "Why am I so different?" She asked herself. "Kairi dear, come on it's time to go home." Granny Kiyoshi called to her. "Coming grandmother." Kairi said running to her from the playground. "Kairi, would you like to go out for lunch?" She asked smiling politely. "No, I'm not hungry. I just wanna go home." Kairi replied. "Ok, let's go." Kiyoshi replied, disappointed by Kairi's reply.
Granny Kiyoshi and Kairi returned home. Kairi went up to her room and locked her door. 'Why won't the other kids play with me? I didn't do anything...why am I so different!' Kairi thought in her head, 'All I want is a friend...'
"Granny Kiy, I'm going outside. Kay? Kairi said walking by Kiyoshi. "Ok dear don't wander too far." Kairi nodded and went out the door. She walked outside and looked around, she seen the same girls from the playground playing outside. Better not to waste her time asking them. Then she seen another group of children playing ball. 'Hm maybe they'll let me play.' Kairi wondered. Then, as she was thinking, one boy kicked the ball too high and it landed on the roof. "Aw man, what're we gonna do now?" a girl wondered. All of a sudden they all looked up at the ball, so did Kairi. The ball was being floated to the ground by sand. The ball floated next to a boy, about Kairi's age. He had brick red hair and sea foam green eyes. From what you could see he had dark black rings around each of his eyes, maybe he had problems sleeping. The boy picked up the ball and walked over to the other children slowly. He tried to hand over the ball to them, but they just flinched away. "G-Go away, runaway it's the demon! Run!" One boy screamed. They ran away from him, he dropped the ball and looked to the ground. Demon? He looked like a regular boy. The redheaded boy went and sat on the swings again. Kairi walked over to him. "Um, h-hello." Kairi said looking at the green eyed little boy. He looked up to her, "What do you want, am I sitting on the swing you want? I'm sorry." he said getting up. "No! I just...wanted to say hi. And...well...don't worry about those children, when I try to talk to them the run away from me too. But I don't know why. So I figure just don't bother with them. Kay?" Kairi said with confidence. The boy looked up to her, bewildered and shocked. "A-are you not afraid of me?" he asked, "No, I heard the story about you. You saved the village, if it wasn't for you we'd all be dead. So I don't think anybody should be afraid of you."She said to him, concern in her eyes. "Oh. Well t-thank you. My name is Sabuku no Gaara." he said looking at her, a tiny smile on his face, "Tehe, i'm Numazawa Kairi. It's nice to meet you. W-will you be my friend?" She asked him, hoping he'd accept her, unlike the others. She half-expected him to run away yelling, 'Monster! Monster!' like the rest of them did. But instead he turned to her and said, "S-sure, will you be mine please?" Kairi simply looked at him and smiled, "Course' I will silly." she said, a big grin on her face. For the rest of the day they played ball together, each of them finally had a friend.
Wow that was easier to write then the last chapter. Oh if you didn't know, Kairi is five, and Gaara is four. Well two chapter's in a day, not too shabby. I already have the next chapter planned out so have some tissues ready! This has been martymailbox signing off...
