"My… veil" was heard a small voice. "Your veil?- he asked somewhat astonished- very good".
With these words the younger Sabaku left the place to return minutes later with a heavy black veil. He left the veil to her side while returning to his seat. She took it and turned around giving her back to him to put it in.
"Why do you cover your face?" asked the young man. "Why do you dress like that?" answered the girl with another question in a very odd accent.
Her respond kind of bothered Gaara, but he decided not to give it importance, so he could begin to interrogate her, as it was the first time he felt so curious to fulfill this task.
She took a seat to start in on the unfortunate interview and for the first time they got to look to each other's eyes. Both of them got astonished but did not show it. She had marvelous blue eyes, dark like the deep ocean, were he found himself lost rapidly; the truth is, her eyes were the only thing the Kazekage could see now, for the rest of her body and face was fully covered.
The girl also observed each detail of the young person who was in front, his red crimson messed up hair, his skin like porcelain, the tattoo in his forehead that combined with his hair, the black lines that surrounded his eyes… What an eyes! , a perfect mixture between blue and green the way she had never seen before. Without looking for it, the young Kage had gotten her full attention.
"So?" the voice of the boy interrupted her thoughts. "Watashi wa Karen desu" (my name is karen). "Ka-ren?" Gaara asked. "Hai… Karen".
"That is not a common name in the desert. O-kuni wa? (where you are from?)" the Kazekage inquired. "From desert too… where I suppose you are from". "Hn" was his reply.
Silence took place again for a moment, and the situation was becoming uncomfortable for both. The blue eyed girl seemed to be in a hurry get out of the scenario she was, so she decided to take the next step. "I am the princess Karen… daughter of powerful Anon, god of the desert".
Gaara paid attention to each sound, but did not understand a single word the blackhaired in front of him was speaking about. Princess? Anon? god? What the hell? ´ that was all he could think about.
"A few months ago we got into a… war? Oh! Did I say it right?" she continued. "War, yes" Gaara said to her. "Correct, ah… I was send by my father with a team… but we were ambushed and… I am the only survivor and after walking many days in the desert… I arrived here".
The Kage of the wind was very intrigued by this, because nobody knew of a war in the desert. "Excuse me, but I have never heard of your people and… neither of a war in the desert". Karen did not seem surprised by his words and she uttered to him "… and for the safety of your village… it will be better that nobody else get to know".
"What are you talking about?" asked Gaara somewhat altered. "They… will come for me and if the people get to know, my… my enemies… will know immediately and they will destroy whatever or whoever they find in their way" explained the lass to him.
"What you are saying is that, you are the objective of the war?" investigated the redhead. "One… of them" responded Karen to him. This was very weird "If as much they want you, then so, why did your father sent you to fight?" the Kazekage asked.
"If you don't fight for your own life, nobody will do it for you".
