Gaara woke up early, he glanced at Nejis sleeping face. Peaceful, proud. He had been a good mate this year they been together. But Neji still felt like a friend, they had been playing around it when they were alone. Everything had been innocent up til now, today there relationship would change. But the change was natural and it was not as it came as a blow. Gaara felt the change the last week. Neji had been more tense, looking at Gaara differently.
Gaara sighed and stood up leaving the den. He saw the rising sun, it felt good on his pale skin. His red fur almost sparkled in the early sun beams. But Gaara was not the only one out this morning. A threat was nearing the sleeping pack. Gaara could not smell the theat and warn, he was as oblivious as the rest. The pack was being watched.
"Look at that", he grinned. The silent cliffs was before him, and all it's inhabitants curled up in sweet dreams. His eyes stopped. One young mate steppe out on the cliffs, his bright red fur hit him like a slap in the face. He grabbed the breeder beside him.
"That one is mine", he sneered while pushing the younger breeder down. He made sure to show his authority so the breeders abound him would not try to challenge him. He turned back to the sight of the mate. He smirked,
"An other beauty to my harem...", he chuckled.
Gaaras throat felt dry, he climbed down the cliffs and made his way to the river nearby. He sat down and looked at himself for awhile before leaning down to drink. When he sat up again he saw something in the reflection. Someone was behind him, he spun around. An unfamiliar face was before him.
"Hello gorgeous", he breeder purred. Gaara got on his feet and backed away. The breeder followed him, he didn't want Gaara to get away. Gaara took in air to call for help but before he got the chande the breeder lanced at him. Gaara got pinned down by the breeder and he started struggle.
"Let me go!" He screamed. A palm covered his mouth, Gaara felt stressed. He knew this breeder was not one of the pack members, he had the wrong scent. That meant that he was from an rival pack, and that could only mean that this breeder was to take him away. The breeder licked his mouth and pressed it against Gaaras temple. It was a ritual of owning, he was to take Gaara as his mate regardless if Gaara already had a breeder.
Gaara growled to show that he was not going to leave on his own free will. The breeder just chuckled at his growl, he was confident and by the look of it experienced. This breeder was much older than Gaara, probably he had a lot of mates and a high status in his pack.
"I am going to take you home and you are to obey", he whispered him Gaaras ear. Gaara sneered and tried to bite him but he avoided the attempt.
Gaara felt a hard slap on his face and everything got black...
Gaara slowly opened his eyes, the sun blinded him for a moment. He looked around, he was lying in a tree high up form the ground. Gaara didn't see his kidnapper and started looking for a way down. He wasn't used to trees since he lived on the cliffs and not the forest so he was unsure how to get down.
"Planing on escaping?" A voice above him asked. Gaara looked up, there he was. His kidnaper. The breeder came down to the branch Gaara was on with a graceful jump. He knew how to move in the forest and Gaara did not. "Goodbye escape plan", Gaara thought while watching the breeder carefully.
"I want to know my knew mates name", the breeder demanded.
"Then why don't you go ask him", Gaara sneered. The breeder lanced at him and both fell to the ground. Gaara screamed in pain when he hit the ground and something broke inside him. The breeder didn't seem to care, he only pressed Gaara harder to the ground.
"I'm good to my mates.. when they are good to me", he hissed. Gaara felt tears running down his face, he nodded. Gaara would have done anything for the pain to stop. He felt something was lose so he didn't dare to move.
"So whats your name?"The breeder asked once again.
"Gaara", Gaara sniffled. He hated himself for crying in front of this breeder but he could not stop the tears. The breeder smiled and caressed his cheek.
"Good boy, my name is Orochimaru and I am a high rank breeder in the forest pack", Orochimaru said with a gentle voice but it did not fool Gaara for a second. He saw the greed in his eyes, the hunger in his smile. If Gaaras father had learned him anything it was to stay away from greed. Greed ate you from the inside and made it impossible to be satisfied. You will wander around in a imaginative darkness that never lift.
Orochimaru seemed to realize that he actually hurt the young mate, he gently lifted Gaara and started to walk slowly. Gaara concentrated on breathing, every breath felt like a stab in his chest. His ribs must have broke, he prayed that the broken ribs would not puncture his lung.
After a while he heard noises, laughter of children, roars of breeders and small talk from mates. It sounded a lot like home and Gaara relaxed a bit. If he closed his eyes he could almost smell the familiar smells of his family. But when he opened them again he saw the strange faces, he trees around him, shadowing his face. Blocked the sun, not even the sun would be there all the time. The forest was much darker.
Orochimaru started climb one of the big trees, a platform was build high up in the tree. It didn't surround him like a cliffs, this felt colder. He saw a lot of mates moving abound the platform taking care of cubs. Orochimaru put him down on a nest near the trees trunk. He called someone to look after him. The mate who came had almost a white mane but he didn't seem that old. He had the same eyes as Orochimaru.
"Take care of Gaara, he is hurt", Orochimaru said and walked away. The mate looked after him breeder with a longing before turning to Gaara with an annoyed look. Clearly Gaara wasn't wanted by this mate.
"I'm Kabuto, Orochimarus first mate", the mate introduced himself with a proud voice. Then Gaara understood, with a breeder like Orochimaru who had a lots of mates, you could see that he was easily bored and that's why he always wanted new mates. If Kabuto was his first he maybe didn't get as much attention that he wanted and if it were so Gaara was going to take even more of his attention.
Gaara closed his eyes. Thinking of Neji, what would he do now? He had planed this day for them, just the two of them. It made him feel bad for not looking forward to this day. While being with Neji he never felt special but being without him felt scary. Gaara looked up at Kabuto who was examining him.
"Have Orochimaru ever grown tired of his mates?" Gaara asked. Kabuto looked at him like he just got slapped in the face.
"What do you mean?" He sneered in response. Clearly he had taken it the wrong way. Gaara stroke his ears back and looked away, Kabuto snarled as an answerer to Gaaras apology.
"I just wondered if I had an change to return to the cliffs", Gaara explained. Kabuto laughed with out joy.
"You think your pack is going to take you back? You are dead to them, you do not exist. If you had a breeder that you liked, though luck! Your x breeder is going to take a new mate as if you never were there. But you know that's life I guess", Kabuto said. As the words hit Gaaras ears his heart sank. The words were true but he didn't want to realize. He just wanted to go home.
After a few of hours Gaara started to feel better from Kabutos treatment but it still hurt ed. Orochimaru had return to the platform and he made his way over to Gaara.
"Will he be ready for tonight?" He asked with a annoyed tone. Kabuto shook his head.
"Two of his ribs are broken, if he move around to much it can puncture his lung", Kabuto answered. This made Orochimaru even more annoyed. He wanted to try his new mate as soon as possible.
They days in the tree seemed to move slowly, all Gaara was aloud to do was lie down and sometimes ,.if he were lucky, sit up. The other mates didn't talk to him either. Gaara didn't know if it was because they weren't aloud to or if they simply didn't like him. It felt strange with all the new smells, the new foods and the new pack.
It was different from the cliffs, breeders didn't spend much time with their cubs and mates only meet with their breeders when mating. The family bonds weren't there, breeder and mate weren't friends. It was just psychical, a way to reproduce.
One day when Gaara was aloud to sit up a breeder came to the tree. He seemed young and by the look of his eyes, sad. He had a gray mane and strange marking under his eyes. He sat down with Sakon and Ukon, they were twins and both mates to Orochimaru. Gaara guessed that one of them were the mother of this young breeder.
Sakon seemed to comfort him, Gaara got a bit curious about what happened. The breeder looked up and his eyes landed on Gaara, his eyes widened and he asked Sakon something. Gaara could not here but it seemed to upset Sakon and Ukon.
Gaara got a unpleasant look by Sakon while the argument leveled. Gaara was happy Orochimaru wasn't here at the moment, he would have been raging. Gaara could with out shame admit that he was afraid of Orochimaru.
The breeder rose and walked up to Gaara. Gaara felt Sakons stare right through his bones. The breeder sat down with him and studied him carefully.
"Whats your name?" He asked and moved closer. Gaara felt anxious, what would Orochimaru do if he saw him.
"Gaara", he murmured to an answerer and looked away. The breeder seemed to have got the messages and moved back a little.
"I'm Kimimaru the third son of Orochimaru", he introduced. Gaara looked up at him. When up close he could see similar features, the skin was as pale as Orochimaru and the face had the same form. Even his body was shaped as Orochimaru. But the eyes, the were sad and gentel, quite the opposite to Orochimaru.
Kimimaru started ask him questions about himself. It felt nice to talk to someone, the time here had been very lonely. After a while Gaara heard himself ask Kimimaru questions. It felt reliving that he finally had made a friend.
So tell me what you think? And if you have any pointers or suggestions please feel free to tell me. ^^
