Chapter TWO
A killing intent was spread, and it wouldn't have taken a genius to figure out the source.
The blood.
The betrayal and the pain.
Sakura reached out and grabbed Gaara's hand, and it vanished just as quickly.
Iruka quickly interjected, saying that it was enough questions. He looked around and pointed towards the empty seats at the back, behind Naruto and Sasuke.
"Okay, why don't you two go sit there. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, okay?"
Gaara growled and whipped around, climbing the steps towards the back. Sakura made to follow, but quickly turned around again. She dipped her head at Iruka before she quickly spun around and darted after Gaara.
Gaara stepped back and let Sakura slide in first.
They quickly took their seats as Iruka stood up from his desk. "I need to go see Tsunade-sama." He told the class. "You have a test in four lessons time. Revise for that."
The moment Iruka had left, Naruto whipped around. "Hey! I'm Naruto, dattebayo! This emo guy over here is Sasuke." A few others came over and Naruto introduced them one by one.
'Kurama's Jinchuriki, eh?'
Gaara sighed at the voice, and tuned out the demon.
Naruto.
Sasuke.
Kiba.
Hinata.
Shikamaru.
Choji.
Shino.
Ino.
Sakura hammered the names and faces into her memory before tuning them out. Her eyes flew around, looking for something that would catch her attention.
Gaara, on the other had, was annoyed. Didn't they hear him say that he didn't like annoying people who approached him?
Meanwhile, Sakura was looking at Sasuke.
Sasuke noticed the gaze and inwardly cringed at the though of another fan girl...
"Your hair looks really weird. Like, really weird." Sakura blurted out. Gaara scoffed.
Naruto gulped, and burst out laughing. Even Shikamaru began chuckling.
Sasuke didn't know whether or not to be glad that the new pink haired girl was not a fan girl, or be insulted by the sudden comment.
"Hey, listen. Sasuke-kun is mine!" A blonde girl yelled, grabbing Sasuke's arm. Sasuke shook her off.
Sakura frowned. "Well, technically, he is his own person as he is not a slave. Therefore, no one has the right to claim-"
Gaara nudged her. "Don't waste your complex speeches on idiots."
It took everyone a moment to realize the insult. However, Gaara easily tuned out their protests.
"What's with hating dogs?" A boy who Naruto had introduced as Kiba, asked.
Sakura turned to him and he tugged down his jacket, revealing Akamaru.
Sakura's eyes widened before they narrowed and the dog glared back with just as much ferocity. Sakura slowly stood up, arching her back.
Gaara, fueled by his sister's discomfort, quickly rose out of his seat as well.
Iruka looked up at the sound. Ah, Cat-Dog thing. He quickly stepped in before it could get any further. "Okay, time to go." He snapped his book shut for emphasis and he shooed everyone out of the room.
The tension was forgotten as Gaara got to his feet. He grabbed Sakura's bag and he slipped out from behind their desk.
"Let's go, Sasuke-kun!" Ino twirled around to face the Uchiha but Sasuke just shoved past her.
"Okay, since you're new we'll show you to your next class-" Naruto was cut off by Gaara.
"No need." The red head snapped. "We know."
Shikamaru sigh. "Jeez, we're just trying to be nice."
"Weren't you listening when I said that I don't like crowds?" Gaara asked.
"If you're so confident, tell us where our next class is." Ino snapped.
Sakura took a deep breath. "First, we have Tai-jutsu in field 2, then Medical Nin-jutsu and chakra control in room 302. Then we have Nin-jutsu in field 4. After that, we have weaponry with Iruka in ro-"
"I-I bet you don't know...where the classrooms are!" Ino interrupted, crossing her arms.
Gaara sighed and turned to his sister.
"Field 2 is just by the school entrance. Room 302 is two floors above us. The shortest way there is for you to go up the second set of stairs you come across to the left of the classroom-"
Gaara nodded and swung both Sakura and his bags over his shoulder. Sakura broke off mid sentence, turned, and followed Gaara out the room, leaving behind everyone else.
After a while, everyone shook off their shock and surprise before they quickly rushed off after the twins to their next class.
Iruka looked up after everyone was gone.
The twins had never been taught to control their demons. He could tell. From the way they reacted to nearly everything without any signs of concealment to the way they clung to each other, as if only the other could hold them back. Which was probably true.
He had heard parts of the twins past from both the Hokage and Sasori, but not everything.
Or maybe they had said everything and he had just not been listening.
However, he did remember hearing from Sasori that the Two Tailed Demon inside Sakura, Matatabi, was rather fond of its host and probably wouldn't do anything that would harm her. The One tailed beast within Gaara, Shukaku, seemed to follow Matatabi's course of action.
Either way, he knew that whatever happened, it was most likely not the twins fault.
After all, he had seen the look in their eyes.
The eyes of those who had seen too much before they knew everything.
The eyes of those who had lived through too much suffering, loss and betrayal to trust anyone.
The eyes of those who had blood stained hands before they learnt the meaning of death.
The eyes of those who had been forced to grow up too fast too young.
So, here's chapter two.
Somethings happened and we had to re-upload this one.
We don't really remember what the original was like, but we built this one up from what we can recall.
So, read and review?
