Chapter Two - The Escape
Sliding my arm under myself I got up slowly and achy Groans slipped through my lips, I didn't wish to get up I just wanted to lay here on this hard floor forever. However I knew they would be calling for me... And I needed to get up, clothes needed to be washed, dishes done, food to be prepped and many more things. "Nyah..." Groaning and sliding my feet against the floor, then crawling up those stone stairs I found my way back up to the house. Father made sure that our little hide away wouldn't be found by my siblings, however this time... They did. I assumed they were looking for a game, for I heard Kankuro say; "Hey Temari, look at this."
"What is that?" She questioned and I heard rattling on the drop door. Then I saw light and Kankuro's face pop up when I hissed at the burning sensation the light gave my eyes. "G-Gaara?!" They yelled together and looked me over. My ears flattened and my tail wrapped around my waist. "T-Temari, K-Kankuro! Y-you're not s-su-supposed to see this!" I yelled back jumping out and closing the door shut. "Wh-what exactly is this?" Temari growled.
"U-uhm.." I stammered and blushed looking to the side. "Temari look away." Kankuro put his hand over her eyes, I blushed and remembered what I was wearing "Oh." Was all I said as I placed a hand over my private parts. "Come on Gaara." Kankuro grabbed my hand and took me to the bathroom. "What has been going on?" He asked when he looked at my backside, the dry cum stuck to me. "N-nothing." I blushed and turned to look at him. "We need to get him out of here. He can't take any more of this Kankuro..." Temari wrapped a towel around myself as Kankuro drew a bath. "Who will take him in? We don't know of anyone. Everyone fears dad and we can't protect him, obviously." He gestured to myself and all my bruises. "Th-these are nothing." I smiled a little but winced when Kankuro touched one. "Bull... And look at your back.." He whispered turning me over, dried blood and cum all over myself. "We need to wipe you down... Your cuts will burn if we just put you in..."
"What a good idea Kankuro..." A deep voice was heard behind them and I shrank down looking at father. "D-dad." Both jumped up and hid me behind them. "Put him in the water... But he looks a little cold so, you might wanna turn up the heat." He spoke and I saw the evil gleam in his eyes as he glared down at me with his wicked smile. "B-but dad!" Temari whined, all he had to do was look at her and she shut up. "Put. Him. In. The. Water. Kankuro." clipping each word making Kankuro flinch at each one. Turning and grabbing me to lift me up he looked at me with a sad and hurt expression, "I'm sorry Gaara." He whispered so low that only Temari and I heard him. Narrowing my eyes as the burning sensation began at me feet, he lowered me further into the water and I bit my tongue harshly when it came close to my hole. "Nyah!" I gasped burning my hole and getting into the cuts on my cheeks and lower back. Screaming and agony and gasping Kankuro's hands tightly wishing to transfer the pain elsewhere. "K-Kankuro!" I gasped and squinted my eyes shut biting my lip so hard it started to bleed, now fully in the steaming water, my back arched trying to get away from the water but only colliding with more steaming hot water. My hands locked frozen in a clawing position as my breathing began to hitch so my body wouldn't move and be in more pain.
"Here." I heard father say I assumed he gave something to Kankuro because I then heard a bottle pop and a farting like noise, opening my eyes slightly I saw my brother squeezing out some lemon scented soap on a loofa. My eyes began to water, Kankuro looked at me and started at my arms. I sharply in took breath the soap seeping into the cuts on my arms. Kankuro scrubs softly up my arm to my shoulder. Tears ran down my cheeks and I screamed again as he turned my body and scrubbed my back where my deepest cuts happen to be. Once again arching my back and tilting my head back trying to get away from it all he patted my hip softly, "Temari give me a cup.." He spoke in a hushed tone, hearing Temari shuffle her feet and her clothing shuffle noisily along with her then the cupboard creak open. A few seconds pass and then the creaking of the door again with an audible thud as it met up with the frame. Glancing to the side looking at them she handed him a big cup I assumed to poor water on me to get rid of the suds. I chanced a glance at father, his eyes were lit up with amusement and happiness, a wicked smile plastered on that tan like skin.
"Almost done Gaara." Kankuro whispered into my ear scooping up a great amount of steaming water, tilting my head back so it wouldn't get in my eyes, he pored the liquid down from my hair. My mouth open in a silent scream, my eyes closed shut and my mind thinking of a better place as the water streamed through each and every cut trying to get the soap out of my system.
Another scoop, more painfully hot water, another scoop and again more painfully hot water, this repeated until I could no longer feel my body. I knew it was almost tomato red from the burn I also knew I wouldn't be able to walk. Hearing a pop and a sucking like noise as the water slowly reseeded My ears flattened in slight relief, "Come on Gaara stand up." Kankuro encouraged me and I opened my eyes, he gasped a little and wiped my face. "C-Come on." He urged again placing my hand on the tub I tried to lift myself up having a great deal amount of trouble. Temari helped me a little keeping her eyes on mine as Kankuro wrapped a towel around my waist. "Father's gone, he had a meeting to go to." He informed me and I had to look past them to the door frantically I wanted to make sure he was gone, glancing to the right of me, and then the left trying to see in every corner. "Really Gaara, he's not home he left in the middle of rinsing you." Temari nodded grabbing another towel, a red one like the one around my waist and placed it on my back. "You're bleeding again." He almost cried but swallowed the lump more down.
Kankuro picked me up in a princess hold and carried me to his room. I was never allowed to go into my siblings rooms unless I was there to pick up dirty clothes, but father always made sure they stacked it outside their doors. However he liked to make sure how much he loved them more than myself because I killed my mother. Temari put the towel that was around my shoulders on the bed and Kankuro laid me down on it so there wouldn't be evidence of my presence. "Kankuro, we need to leave!" Temari now spoke in a hushed voice glancing all around the room. "You saved like I did right?" She asked and Kankuro nodded, then looked at me. "Gaara, we're leaving once we bandage you up. You can't live here anymore."
My eyes opened wide and I had to flutter them closed because they burned so badly. "N-No!" I cried and grasped his sleeve. "H-He'll hate you too! He'll blame me and do even more worse things than now!He-He'll get you two! Kankuro we can't! W-where would we-!" He cut me off placing his hand softly on my mouth then glanced to his door and around his room. "Temari go get your money and things and meet me back in here."
"Roger." She nodded and slithered out like the ninja she was. I looked at Kankuro and he wrapped a bandage around my mouth so I couldn't speak, although I could easily force them off and run for it, run for the secret room so I wouldn't get my siblings in trouble. However he also tied my bandaged arms back behind me as well as my ankles together. "Nnnh!" I cried against the bandages. "Sorry Gaara, but we have it figured out. We're leaving here and we're not coming back." Kankuro made it final, and I couldn't say anything to oppose him. He brought out two duffle bags as Temari entered the room. "Oh for-! Kankuro! Would you please put clothing on him?!" Her voice rose as she looked at me, I was to used to being naked around the house I didn't care if my siblings saw me as such, but I knew they did for they always shied away when I entered the room. "Uh- I was about to do that when you enter the room." He said gesturing for her to look at the duffle bag in his hand. "Oh." She blushed and looked turned, Kankuro turned to me pulling out a pair of black ninja pants. Undoing the bandages on my ankles he slid a pair of red boxers on me, and for some reason it fit perfectly. Tilting my head to the side, he saw my movement and smiled a little sliding the pants on next. "We had this plan for a while so we would save our money, buy something for us so dad wouldn't suspect anything and buy some clothes for you." He smiled a little tying my ankles together again, then untying my wrists to slid on a black ninja long sleeved shirt that matched his. Next came a pair of ninja shoes, I felt touched deep in my heart I've never owned more then this before. Sitting me up he took the towels and threw them to Temari which in turn ran to the bathroom and put them in the hamper. Running back she gathered her things as well as Kankuros duffle bags. "You got Gaara?" She asked and he nodded. "Dad will be home soon we need to go now before a storm comes." She rushed down the stairs to look outside.
Kankuro once again picked me up in a princess hold and ran down to meet her, but not before checking to make sure she was alone and father wasn't anywhere around. She motioned for him to follow her and he jumped down the stairs landing softly by her. "You ready?" She asked and he nodded, they both looked at me and Temari gave me a loving kiss on the forehead before she opened the door and ran out with Kankuro on her heels.
It was a thrill, having the warm breeze lightly trickle across my face and ruffle my hair as we zoomed by houses and on rooftops. They kept watch in case someone were to attack them, however they were prepared with Kankuro's many puppets and Temari's huge fan. That made me remember that my powers were sealed away and it made me sad that I couldn't do anything to protect myself. Closing my eyes and resting my head against Kankuro's chest I sighed and waited until we stopped.
Finally we made it near the gate, however they new look outs would be there and they couldn't sneak me away like that. So they turned to me and asked me to create a big enough hole to get through. Closing my eyes silently refusing to help them because I didn't want to get them in trouble. "Gaara, if you don't help us now we'll be caught for sure." Temari spoke, her words hitching like she was about to cry, and I truly believe she would if I didn't do anything. Once again I sighed and placed my palm on the wall, with enough concentration and will power I made a big enough hole for Temari and Kankuro to slip through. Temari went first of course and Kankuro softly passed me to her, she held me so protectively I felt smothered. Kankuro slid through and I closed the hole now exhausted. I panted against the bandages my cheeks flushed and my eyes drooped, I felt as though I would pass out if I didn't get enough air.
"Kankuro," Temari faintly whispered and gestured with her head for him to look at me. "He'll be ok until we get further away, you know he'll try and scream or something." He countered taking me once again. Temari only looked at me worriedly as Kankuro ran off now with Temari on his heels.
Magically we were able to get out of the village and quite a ways away from Suna, however we didn't get far enough for a sand storm was heading our way. Both cursed under their breathes and found a cave for shelter. Kankuro set me down on the floor, my panting's were more clipped and I could hardly breath through the fabric. I feared for my life as my eyes started to roll back, but then I felt a whoosh of air fill my lungs as the bandages were removed from my mouth. In-taking a large amount of air, then panting frantically sweet fresh cold air filled my lungs and I was alive once again. "See he couldn't breathe! Poor baby brother!" She cooed hugging me loosely and petting my head. My eyes were wide looking at the floor. "I guess we could have given him air earlier, sorry Gaara..." He bent over and looked at me, "His eyes are still blood shot Temari."
"I know... Did you bring the first aid?"
"Yep, we'll change his bandages later, they should be ok right now. We need to get to the Leaf and to a medic. He'll get them infected if we don't treat them properly enough." Temari in-took some breath and hugged me slightly tighter which made me wince and gasp. "Don't say that! It'll happen!" She glared at him.
"Guys..." I rasped and realized I was parched trying to swallow so my dry throat would be coated with my saliva "Yeah Gaara?" Temari asked and looked at me, I smiled faintly and spoke in my raspy voice, "You should get some sleep if you're going to make it to the Leaf."
"You mean if we're." Temari corrected and nodded, "You take the first shift Kankuro, I'm tired." She smiled and Kankuro was about to protest but Temari put up her hand and grabbed her duffle bag to use as a pillow. "Wake me in an hour or two and we'll switch, and I'll wake you when the storm is over. Ok?" smiling she put her head down not waiting for an answer and closed her eyes to drift to sleep. Sometimes I envied them, I had rarely slept and when I did it was passing out from lack of blood in my body. So instead I watched Kankuro and decided that now would be a good time to get to know my siblings a little better. However I didn't know how to talk to him, I didn't know how to start a conversation and I bet he couldn't hear me anyways with my voice so low and raspy making it even dimmer. "So.." I heard Kankuro start and then cut off. "So..." I countered and did the same as he, "you going to sleep too? You... You lost a lot of blood I bet you're tired." He watched the entrance to the cave and refused to look at me. I sighed faintly and looked down, "I'm ok." Was all I said and closed my eyes for they hurt. He didn't speak after that for some time until, "So Gaara..." He began and only paused this time, "What did he do to you...?" He asked and finally looked me dead on, a slight glare and fire in his eyes. I bet we was thinking of many possibilities of what he did to me. I only cowered under his gaze, they look so much like father and it made me tremble and my eyes water and spill over. "Oh!" He gasped and put his friendly brotherly face again. "Oh Gaara I'm sorry! Are you ok?" His hands hovered over my body trying to find the source of my pain, I could only cry silently, my head bowed and curled slightly into a ball. "Don't hurt me! I-I'm sorry-!" I began in hysterics "Gaara-?" I heard Kankuro but his voice was to low and to deep it sounded like... "I'm sorry father!" I shouted and cringed into a ball hoping he wouldn't hit me. Silence filled the cave and I felt like I did something wrong, he was going to punish me like none other. I whimpered and my tail wrapped around my body tightly making my wounds open and bleed as a puddle of blood began to form. "Gaara!" Kankuro shouted and woke Temari.
"Wh-what happened?" She asked sitting half her body up and rubber her sleepy eyes. "Gaara's having a panic attack! He's bleeding!" Kankuro yelled making Temari wake more and rush to my side hugging me softly trying to pull my tail away form me. However I didn't want that, my tail was a part of me, it made me safe especially when it was around my waist. I cried more and heard Temari's soft hums and shh's patting my back lovingly. "Calm down Gaara... It's ok, we're not there... Calm down..." She cooed making my stiff muscles relax into her and my cries turn into soft whimpers. "Kankuro... I think it'd be best if you got some sleep now, I'll stay with Gaara." She snapped and I assumed she glared at Kankuro because he laughed nervously and grabbed his duffle bag positioning it to sleep on. "Oh here." He said as he zipped the other bag down and pulled out a big first aid kit, "Since his bandages are now bloodied you should change them." He smiled apologetically at me "I'm sorry Gaara if I scared you." He then laid down and fell asleep soon after.
Holding the bandages Temari undid the ones on my wrists and ankles, massaging my sore wrists and ankles softly, "Take your clothes off Gaara." She blushed, I looked to her and blushed softly as well. "Sh-Shouldn't we let Kankuro do that?" I asked and looked to him wanting a male to do this more than my sister. "He needs to sleep, he has to carry you tomorrow." She said in a way that made it final, "Now take them off." Placing her hands on her hips like I've seen some mothers do to disciplined their children when I looked out the window. I nodded some and softly took my new shirt off, my whole body covered in blood. "Oh Gaara..." She whispered and started taking them off and putting fresh ones in their place. We repeated this process when I took my pants off and boxers watching her wrap the bandages all over my body. I felt like I was one of the dead they needed to preserve." There." She smiled some and wiped pretend sweat from her brows. "You can put your clothes on now." I was thankful for that, sliding my boxers on and pants so as to not mess up the bandages I left the shirt off, I wanted to feel the coldness of the dessert night. "Gaara you should put your shirt on, you'll catch a cold." Speaking like a mother again, I felt like calling her my mother and Kankuro my father but knew that wouldn't be a grand idea for I knew Temari was worrying about her age and features. "Sorry." I spoke softly and ignored her. However I suppose this pissed her off a little for she grabbed my shirt roughly and placed my head through the hole and softly tugged my arms through the arm holes covering my bandaged body. A look of hurt clear in her eyes.
"Temari," I spoke and lightly touched her cheek. She looked at me and I kissed her cheek softly with my dry, cracked lips. "I'm fine I swear." I smiled slightly and her eyes watered. Kankuro then sat up and put the first aid kit back tapping Temari's shoulder, "The storms passed, we should get going you know dad will have known we went missing. He'll be after us and he'll find us here if we don't leave now."
Temari nodded slinging the bags over her shoulders as Kankuro picked me up once again, He looked out the cave entrance then ran like a demon was at his heels for The Leaf.
