Chapter Three: My problem?!?!!

Tsukikos POV:

"Who are you?" I asked, ignoring the pressure on my neck from the kunai.

"Don't worry about it sweetie." He replied in a low voice.

"Don't get an attitude asshole, this is for your own good."

He half grunted/laughed, "You don't look like you in the position to talk, so you'd better watch it young lady."

I smirked and in less than three seconds, I had slidetackled him and had him on the ground with his kunai at his throat. I leaned forward so that we were less than inches apart and said, "Do I look like I'm in the position to talk now?"

He smiled. That was never good. I stabbed him in the heart and I heard a loud pop as a log took place of the ninja. I heard a voice from behind, "NOW DIE!" I turned around to meet the image of a ninja 10 feet away, suspended in the air through midjump. I froze. This was it, I was fooled. He was going to kill me… Then…..

As I was about to be killed, a shield of sand stopped the tip of the kunai from ever touching me.

Gaara…

I stood there and watched in shock as Gaara fought my previous opponent. He blocked every punch, kick, and kunai with his sand. Never moving a muscle. What a show-off...

I was brought back to earth when Gaara suddenly enclosed the man in his sand, and yelled out, "Sand Coffin." I jolted forward as I heard mans cries. I yelled out, "STOP!"

Gaara glared at me, but he pulled his sand away. I saw before me what was a minute ago a person, but right now he was covered in blood, his body already bruised and some bones visibly crushed. My stomach clenched, no matter the circumstances, I needed info from this guy.

Giving Gaara the dirtiest look I could muster, I walked forward towards the masked ninja. I leaned over his body and he looked up at me with pleading and hopeless eyes. I felt pity for him. "The pain, I can end it for you. Just tell me who you are, why you are here, and who sent you here."

He continued to stare at me with those eyes. I felt my face go blank as I hid my sorrow and pity for this man. He half-closed his eyes and said, "I was sent to kill you by Orichimaru. He doesn't wasn't you there. That's all I know."

I smiled and said, "Your name?"

"I was born and raised as a shinobi, I have no name."

I nodded sadly and took a kunai, and pierced his heart. I don't think he saw it coming, but maybe that was for the best. I quietly said a prayer and stood up. I had to fight back tears, I may be a shinobi, but death is something that I never can get used to.

I felt Gaara approaching from behind me. I felt anger rise. I shouldn't be mad at him, he saved me. He was just….I don't know had to describe it.

Then he picked up the body, and drug it into the shrubs. I just looked at him. "What the hell was that for? You tortured him with your damn sand and then toss him aside like trash? What the hell is your problem?"

"He is trash. He attacked you and then he ratted out his village. That's exactly what he is. And my problem? Is that I'm stuck with a dramatic failure for a ninja!" His eyes were deadly, and if I had any sense I would have stopped right then. Guess I'm a fool…

"Are you calling me a failure because I didn't want you to kill him off before I got info out of him? Because-"

"NO, you're a failure because you almost died! And on top of that you didn't even notice him! He's been following us since we left the village! What kind of ninja are you?"

I just staared at him for what felt like the twelfth time that day. He'd been following us since we left and I didn't even notice, what the hell was wrong with me….

My pathetic response was, "You don't know anything.." My voice was sad.

His was angry, "I know nothing? Damn fool, next time I'm going to let you die, then we'll see who knows nothing."

And with that he turned around and started walking away. I followed him sadly, didn't need to fuck up again…

a/n.. Well what do you think? I think that I'm doing well so far. So please review and tell me if you liked it and what I can do to make it better. And this will (hopefully) be the last short chapter in this story...
