"Who's there?" Naruto called out.
When no response came, Naruto waited and at the slightest flinch of sound threw a kunai at Sasuke.
I hate it when he does that! Sasuke thought.
Sasuke dodged the kunai just as it touched his head and let the kunai continue on it's path. It hit a tree, went through the tree and hit something that squealed. Naruto got up and retrieved his kunai relieved that no one was there and that it was only a squirrel. Upon taking his seat, Naruto asked Gaara to continue.
Gaara didn't like the look he saw Naruto give Sasuke but he tried to blow it off.
"As I tried to reconstruct myself." Gaara began. "I heard voices."
"The people of the village no doubt." Sasuke added.
"Yes, but these were the voices of children. At first they didn't notice me and went about their business but…."
Gaara's voice trailed off as images of the dead children flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but smirk a little.
"But what?" Naruto asked excitedly.
"One of the kids kicked the ball too hard and it landed right on my face. When he picked the ball up and saw my face… he screamed. Bringing attention to the others who, of course after seeing my face, went to go get their parents. It was an unfortunate, but much needed chain of events." Gaara said, the smirk on the nip of his lips getting wider.
"What do you mean "much needed."?" Naruto asked.
Gaara got real quiet, then spoke.
"Those people….are a part of me now."
"You used them to form back into your human self?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, but now I can't get rid of them."
"What do you mean?"
"Their thoughts, their love, their hate, their everything is mine I know their darkest secrets. Sometimes I can hear their screams of pain as I ripped their skin from their bodies to help form myself."
Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other, then at Gaara.
"What did you do with the rest of their bodies?" Garra asked.
"It's all in here." Garra said, placing a hand on his huge gourd. He couldn't help but smile his evil smile as those thoughts reentered his mind.
"You're still the same sick bastard that I remember Gaara." Naruto said laughing.
Gaara just stared at Naruto then laughed himself.
"Gaara…why did you leave?" Sasuke asked.
Garra froze, swallowed then answered.
"It was for the good of the village."
"What do you me…"
Naruto was cut off.
"I don't wanna talk about it!" Garra said as he got up and walked towards the woods.
"I gonna go get food." He said and disappeared.
