The Other Side of Me

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

For two weeks Akuma and Kashe stayed in Gaara's room until things got bad. Akuma retreated into her shell of cockiness and sarcasm, and rarely spoke to anyone, but was actually looked nourished. Kashe tried as hard as he could to not be in the same room and Gaara. Every time Gaara came in his room, Kashe would make up an errand and nearly sprint out of the room, leaving Gaara and Akuma alone.

Everything was well, but then the flyers were posted.

Apparently, Akuma and Kashe had stolen the Kazekage's sword, and are now sentenced to death immediately when found. Which wasn't true of course. All the Kazekage wanted was his little test subject back.

Gaara came back with one in hand with an accusing face. He waved the paper in front of Akuma's face. "Is this true?"

Akuma read it, and laughed. "Do I look like I have a sword on me? Why would I even want his stupid sword?"

Gaara still held his ground. "You could've hidden it somewhere before I saw you. It was possible."

"Not in my condition, and Kashe wouldn't do anything against dear old Kazekage. I'm actually surprised he took me out of there."

"I did it because you were in pain," Both of them whirled around to see Kashe in the small doorway. "But you seem better, so we should get going before we're flagged as missing-nin."

Gaara held up the flyer. "Too late."

Kashe grabbed it, and cursed. "We have to leave, now."

Akuma stood up. "I'll pack the stuff." They had sets of clothes, and other necessities.

Gaara looked dumbfounded at both of them, before settling his sea-green eyes on Akuma. "But you can't leave now! You're my only friend!"

Akuma sighed, and looked at him. "I know, but if your father found out I was with you, you would never see the light of the day ever again. We have to go." She slowly winked at Gaara. Gaara nodded. Akuma and Kashe went to the doorway, and without looking back, ran down the hallway.

The next day was uneventful. Gaara went to his swing with his teddy bear and slowly swung.

I wonder where Akuma is. I hope she didn't get caught. You know, she probably did, what with my other half being in there and her immense chakra level. Wait, Shukaku, you can contact her, right? So what if I can? Can you tell her what I'm saying? I won't. What! Why not? Because she told me not to, not like I would anyways, my other side is more powerful than me. Why would she do that?! No, I better forget about her. She won't come back.

As Gaara was having this conversation, he was grabbing his head and squeezing involuntarily. All the kids stopped and looked at him. "Look, it's talking to itself." "Let's get rid of it!" "Yeah!"

So when Gaara was done talking to Shukaku, he found twenty kids with rocks aiming for him. He did nothing as they threw their projectiles, staring at nothing. The sand shifted, and a form was visible, blocking all them. The kids stared at amazement at the form.

The form was walking out of the sand. Gaara gasped. It was Akuma!

Authoress's notes: Sorry this is so short, I just wanted to get this out.

I'm going to change Akuma's name because Akuma is waaaaaaayyy overused. Any ideas would be great! It has to have either evil of demon in it please!
