Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
A/N: Well, I know that I said I was going to post only every Friday, but I was bored and just couldn't help myself…
So here's Chapter Four: Secrets of the Damned
Gaara's POV
Confusion consumed me. That guy back there touched a nerve for some reason. I haven't tried to cause someone immense pain since my fight with Naruto. I used to just killed the enemy with dead eyes and no emotions. But back there, I purposely caused him pain and my eyes were full of anger. I don't know why either. All that I know is that when Tsukiko stabbed him in the heart, I felt a lot better. But the look in her eyes when she stood up with the bloody kunai in her hand made me feel guilty. I had wanted to apologize, but instead I acted like a jerk and walked away. She had followed in a saddened silence. Neither of us talked. Not when we got to the village, not when we were briefed by the Kage, and not when we approached the manor where we would be waiting for the ninja. We only talked when we were discussing the way we were planning to handle the situation at hand:
Tsukiko's POV
"Ok, since I'm the leader I'll come up with the plan. One of us should stay in the room where the scrolls are located; the other should wait outside the door. When we feel the ninja arrive we'll notify each."
Gaara looked at me with an expression that clearly stated he was bored. "That plan has too many flaws. I can reach you with my sand, but how will you notify me? And another thing is, since you're going to be in the room where the scrolls are hidden, what if they sneak up on you and kill you? You'd die, and we'd fail the mission because I wouldn't know that you'd died. So I think that we should just both wait in the room. That way there are no surprises. And since you're not too good at noticing approaching ninja, I'll notify you by wrapping my sand around your ankle. And just on the safe side, we'll each have two of the family scrolls in our bag. We'll replace the real ones with fake ones."
I stared at him again, slightly embarrassed. "Okay…"
We prepared for the night, setting several trick wires that would notify Gaara when activated. And with that, we went to out separate corners and waited for the ninja to arrive.
AN: Sorry for the shortness of this chapter… But I didn't want to add to much to soon , so I cut down the chapter. But Friday I'll post the rest of this Chapter. I was just updating my other story, and I was bored, so I added decided 'Why not add more?' So I did.. : p.. So review and tell me what you think.
