Chapter 4: Alone
Awaii finally got away from everyone, to try and get some time alone, even Momo was starting to annoy the black haired teen. Awaii found a quiet, abandoned building that she could stay in and relax. She laid down on the ground, staring up in a hole of the ceiling with a perfect view of the moon lit sky.
She laid there, trying to understand why it was that everyone was trying to protect Gaara…maybe he has changed and regrets all he had done, but that doesn't change that he murdered her parents.
Awaii let out a loud sigh, "What would you want me to do…do you blame me for what happened to the both o you, because I couldn't protect you…did I fail you as a daughter?" She asked watching the stars shine in the midnights sky.
"Looks like I'm not the only person to of found this place" A females voice said, walking into the abandon building.
Awaii sat up, and saw Hissori walking over to a corner of the small building, and sit down on the ground, "What, are you following me? Are all of you so desperate as to not want me out of your site? Did Momo tell you how to find me?"
Hissori smirked, "You do know, I don't only think about you…I have a life to, and this place just so happens to be were I come to think…or when I cant sleep."
Awaii shook her head, "What's wrong, your perfect little life got some bumps in it, and you want to tell me, so I can feel so bad for someone as pampered as you are" She glared at the blue haired girl, "sorry, but I have no sympathy for the likes of your kind"
"My kind? Please…do tell me exactly what my kind is like" Hissori asked, crossing her arms in front of her body, leaning back on the wall behind her.
"The kind who pretty much gets what they want, never had to see what if feels like to be alone…to see the ones you love and care for die right in front of your eyes" Awaii stood up, looking down at Hissori, "Please, stop me when I'm wrong, tell me you know the exact pain I'm feeling…" She glared then asked, "How would you react if your parents were killed, you knew who it was and you were in grabbing range of the person who killed them…how would you deal with that?"
Hissori looked down, and hugged her knees, "You think you're the only one with problems…I know what your going threw" She looked up, still hugging her knees, "My parents were also killed…not by Gaara, but by there own comrades…" She looked at Awaii, the same hurt and sad look on her face that Awaii wore all the time, "and I blamed myself…just like you didn't but I couldn't, no wouldn't lower myself to the killers level and go after them for revenge"
Awaii sat down across from Hissori, "did someone in this village kill them?" She asked.
"Heh, I though you didn't want to hear what I was thinking about…your exact words: 'sorry but I have no sympathy for the likes of your kind' …why the sudden change, you are all the sudden interested just because my parents were killed?" Awaii just stared at her, Hissori shook her head, and continued, "No my parents weren't killed by a sand ninja, I'm not even from this village…I'm from Sound. I was born in Sound, and was suppose to become a great Shinobi, until my parents began going against the new lord of the village…He didn't like it very much, so he sent ANBU to kill me parents" She looked back down, holding back any tears of sorrow she had, "My mother didn't even stand a chance, she was too busy trying to hide me, once she was done, she tried to stop them, but they were too strong, she was only a store owner…and my father was a shinobi, but not the fighting kind…he was trained to think, he would be able to come up with a plan in a snap, under pressure. " She paused a minute, then looked back up at Awaii, Hissoris eyes red from a few tears she shed, "They were both killed in the blink of an eye, the ANBU couldn't fine me, so they burnt down my house…with me still in it"
Hissori made a fist, "Luckily I was a fast learner, and was able to think up a way to get out of the house before I burned to death…I watched as my house burnt to the ground, then quickly left the village…no I wasn't 5 like you were…I was 7, maybe that makes a difference, but either way, I was alone…"
Awaii opened her mouth to say something, but Hissori stopped her, "You wanted to hear…now shut up and listen. It was a hot day, I was tired, hungry, and thirsty, but since I ran away, I had no money to buy what I needed, so I resorted to stealing…that was the first time I saw Gaara...he was alone, and looked tired enough that he wouldn't put up a fight. So I thought I could take him" Hissori laughed slightly, "I was wrong….as soon as I jumped down from the tree I was in, he caught me with his sand…I couldn't move, and was now pissed"
-Flashback-
"Let me go damn it!" A little girl with ratty blue hair, dirty skin, and yellow eyes shouted at a man with red hair, and blue eyes. "What are you gonna do to me…?" She then got a look of disgust on her face, "PERVERT! I'm only 7 and your what…30"
Gaara looked at the young Hissori, a confused look on his normally expressionless face, "I'm not 30, I'm 15. I don't know what your thinking, but I assure you its not what I'm thinking" He said, his arms folded across his body, "What were you planning to do?" he asked
Hissori 'hmphd' "I don't have to tell an old bag like you what I was going to do" She then began trying to get away again, "Now let me out of this damn sand! I'm getting it down my pants!!"
Gaara shook his head, then released his sand from young Hissori's body, causing her to fall on the ground, landing on her butt, she stood up rubbing her rear, "You didn't have to drop me so hard…" She then mumbled, "Jerk"
Gaara looked at Hissori, and saw that she didn't look very well, "How long have you been in the desert? Where are your parents?" He asked in a creepy, yet some what soft tone.
Hissori looked down at her dirty bare feet, "I don't have any parents…" She said, almost too quiet for Gaara to hear.
The male ninja held out his water canteen, "Drink" Hissori slowly looked up, grabbed the canteen, then began to drink-more like guzzle-the water, "What are out doing out here in the desert?" He asked the little girl.
She stopped drinking, panting from drinking so much water, "I…I was…was running away" She answered, then went to drink more water, but Gaara took the water away from her, "HEY! I wasn't finished with that!" She shouted.
"Drink too much and you'll get sick, what were you running from?" Gaara asked, putting his-particle empty-water canteen away.
Hissori folded her arms, "they wanted me dead…now will you-" The young girl then passed out, but before she could hit the ground, Gaara caught her with his sand.
-End Of Flashback-
"When I woke up, I saw Red standing above me, smiling down at me. She told me that her and Gaara wanted me to stay with them…in Suna" Hissori said, "Time when by, but I never forgot about Sound Killing my parents, but I also never lived only for revenge" Hissori looked at Awaii, "You were right about one thing, I do have people who care for me, and would die for me" She stood up, "But you also have someone who cares and would die for you…think about how killing Gaara will effect that persons life…I'm not saying forget about your parents, and love Gaara, I'm just saying life is too short, don't only think of the negative things" She walked to the door, "You only get one life, live it wisely" with that said, Hissori left the abandoned building, leaving Awaii to think about what she just told her.
-End of chapter, so all about Hissori's past, sorry if it doesn't make since…Hissori was born in Sound, her parents were killed, she left, tried to steal from Gaara, passed out, then was adopted by Red and Gaara, and yes, Gaara and Red are a couple…anyways, next chapter will be when Gaara comes back to the village, will he a warm welcome home…or will it be the last time he ever steps foot in sand…wait till next time-
