The story of a lost soul chapter 4

Kairi woke up and looked around, wondering why she had fallen asleep at the park. She felt like she was being watched so she decided to leave. "Well I should get back!" She popped up out of the swing, thinking about Gaara and that she hadnt seen him all day. She wondered if her missed her and planned on asking him where he'd been when she woke up, not that it would matter to her, she'd just be happy to be with her friend again, after all, he WAS her only one besiddes Maru, but hes older. As she pondered these thoughts in her head, she was very focussed, she didnt she heard the swoop of a kunai behind herself until it was close.
"Huh" She spun around to see a crazed look in her the black haired lady's eyes. Yes, it was Alin.
"M-mother" She stuttered scared.
"IIIIIEEEE" Kairi screamed running, but no matter where her speed took her, Alin followed. As they passedd buildingd, some people cheered, some tried to help Alin, and some just watched as the mother, who Kairi happened to look similar too, chased her daughter with murder in her eyes. She'd kill her daughter out of cold blood.
"Takiti!!" She screamed no one seemed to hear the poor girl adn that scared her most. With so many people there, around her, watching her, as tears stremed down her face, and she felt her heart race, she screamed for help(Takiti), finally she realized she might just be alone in this world, wwith no one, ad that if thats so, its one very cruel world, that no matter what someone is, they deserved to be treated like any other person. "GAARA-CHAN HELP!" she screamed for her Gaara while running towards the mansion that was Gaara's family's. She knew, despite that anyone else would never come for her expect maybe Maru or her father(or any one her father ordered) would never come.

"No one cares about your screams!" her mother yelled chasing after her.

"Thats not true!" She cried in responce, "GAARA!" She yelled. Red and grey tendrills of chakara were engulfing her as her eyes turned blood red. "Stop!!" She growled. She slid to a stop when Gaara appeared infront of her and went to hug the Red head.

"Leave her alone" Gaara said, sand going around Alin. "desert coffin"

"NO GAARA!" Kairi screamed wrapping arms around his waiste, thinking naiively that that would stop him. Shed heard Kankuro and Temari talking of Desert Coffin before. That it scared them andd they thought that, just because they were his older siblings, he'd have no merccy on them. Kairi didnt believe that Gaara felt no mercy for people. She simply believed people had no mercy for him. Life is a two way street

"wh-what" He stuttered, wondering why she wouldnt want the unforgivable lady dead.

"Stop" She whispered, tearfully whispered, but it was to late. Alin was dead, blood splattered across Gaara and Kairi. Mixed with sand, the beautiful sand, soaked in the red life liquid of her mother.

"N-no" Kairi gasped, crying. "Mother" she whispered.

"She tried to kill you" he growled, sand swirling back to him.

"I don't care" She whispered, still clinging to him like he was her protector.

"You hate me now" He stated. He didnt ask it. She curled herself more into him, just like a nine yearold to her daddy.

"No. You saved me" She whispered.

--------

"What happened?" Gaara and Kairi were standing infront of his father. Kairi was slightly hiding behind Gaara.

"It was m--"

"My fault" Kairi whispered,

"Come out from behind Gaara" He bellowed. Kairi slipped out from behind him, looking at the floor. Shee flexed her hands multiple times as a nervous habit.

"My mother hated me. She was trying to kill me, I screamed for Gaara... And he came to me, saving me, but some odd chakara had swirled around me... it killed her" Kairi whispered.

"Miss Taisuki, you're here on treaty business, correct?" He asked. Kairi did not know what she was getting into with him.

"U-um, yes sir" She replied nodding lightly.

"Lying to the Kage of Sunagakure isn't a good thing to do" He looked at her.

"U-uh Im sorry, sir" She whispered.

"It was my fault father...Sir" Gaara told him. Kairi looked up at him, apologizing in her eyes, wondering why he was going to tell his father if that ment him getting in trouble. He lectured them and dismissed them.

"Im sorry Gaara" She murmured, he stopped her.

"No, Kairi, Im sorry. You didnt want me to kill her. I killed your mom. Im so sorry" Gaara whispered to her.

-------

"Gaara-chaaaan" Kairi sang, it had been two weeks since the incident and she had forgiven him. It hadnt taken long either, it was pretty much after he apologized to her, and after a day or so of grief she was happy again. She realized she was only sad because it was her mother. She knew there was n hope of love from her mom, so she was back to normal in no time.

"What" he said monotone-ly. He looked her up and down.

"Oh, you like it? Temari gave it to me" She smiled looking at it and spinning. It was a white summer dress and she was wearing lace up sandals. "Apparently she made it and it was way to small. She laughed lightly at herself and told me that it was silly that she made it small." Kairi giggled examining it.

"Its.... pretty" He murmured, embarrassed. "What did you need?"

"I have bad news" she said, her emotion changed from happy to sorrowful.

"What is it" he said worriedly.

"You gotta get your butt outta bed and get breakfast whether you want to or not" She snapped wagging a finger at him. He rolled his eyes, sighed, and got up. The two ate and then decided to go out for a while.

"Gaara-chan, if you didn't have the shukaku in you, and I told you I had this monster in me, back when we first ment, would you be scared of me?" Kairi asked hoping nothing would have changed. The two were holding hands, like little kids usually do. She was staring at her feet as they walked through a garden behind the home.

"Nope it would probably still be the same Kairi-chan" he said. She smiled to herself.

"ah, Good cause um... Gaara," She started... she stopped and turned to lookat him. He turned when she didnt finish her sentence.

"What?" He asked,

"I like you!" She smiled up at him. He smiled down at her, she gasped "You smiled at me! You finally smiled!" She hugged him.

--------

"You know its destiny," A voice said to her. She looked around herself and finally gave up trying to ask who it is.

"What is?" She asked, sitting down in the room.

"You'll know soon enough" It chuckled.

"You know you are really annoying" Kairi growled. The voice laughed at her. Once again, the room started to lighten and Kairi woke up.

--------

"Kairi-imotoo, get up" She woke up to hearing Kankuro and sat up. She rubbed her eyes sleepily while turning to face the brunette.

"Nani" She whispered making sure I did not "wake" Gaara. Kankuro was standing next to her bed. Gaara turned slightly, restless in his meditation.

"You gotta go come on." He whispered to her, tossing her bag at her.

"What!" Kairi whisper shouted glaring at him. Her hands clenched themselves to the bed sheets not wanting to leave.

"Yeah come on here I packed your stuff" he told her and started to walk out. She reluctantly got up and pulled on a dress while his back was turned.

"But Gaara" She turned to look at the 'sleeping' red head.

"No we gotta go here some guy named Maru is here to bring you back to Rai!" he told her. The brunette glanced once more at Gaara.

"But" She said worried. She stared at Gaara for a moment before she looked back at Kankuro.

"Come on!" he growled and pulled Kairi away. She trailed after him as they left the building and headed towers the gates.

"Bye, Kairi-chan" Temari tried to crack a smile and Kairi didn't even try to smile at her, she just, lifted a corner of her mouth a little.

"Later, Munchkin" Kankuro smirked at her. Kairi nodded.

"Kairi, it's been 3 weeks, its good to see you again!" Kairi spun around to see Maru.

"Hey Maru" Kairi forced a smile to cross her face as she nodded at him.

"Temari-nee-chan! Give this to Gaara please!" Kairi threw her a small glass bottle with a rose in it against one side and sand filling it up with a cork on top, and a silver locket that said sand on the front and had a picture of Kairi on one side and a picture of Gaara on the other wrapped around it. Scrawled in cursive with black ink was the word "Gaara" with flowers and vines around it. Temari caught it and waved with her other hand.

"Ok I will Kairi!" She shouted back. Kairi started crying as Maru pulled her away and they took off.

------

"Long time no see Kairi" he smiled at Kairi.

"Whatever" was all she responded with to her old friend. He was shocked because he knew her as a happy little girl. 'I miss Gaara... He's going to be really upset when he finds out that I left...' Kairi thought sadly. She kept running along side Maru, she was much slower then he was so he kept slow.
