Kairi walked around town for hours. She wanted to leave this 'unknown' village. She didn't know where she was, she barely knew who she was. All she knew was that her name is Kairi and she has a demon in her. But she couldn't remember anything else and it was driving her insane. She walked around aimlessly trying to find an exit. "Ugh, how big is this town!" She exclaimed throwing her hands in the air. She slumped to the ground. 'OK, I have to think this out. If I'm leaving, I'll need supplies.' She thought doodling in the sand. "Well I don't have any money, I'll have to steal some." She stated, digging in the pockets of her Suna robes. "Ugh, it's so hot! I'll need some new clothes."
Kairi walked around the town, looking for an easy score. She finally found one after about 3 hours, it was dark by then. "Heh, perfect. No lights on or anything, and it's too late to be sleeping. There must not be anybody here." She approached the house she had found, it was of course just an average house.
She opened the door with ease and stepped in. "Ugh, oh my god! It...it stinks! Like...I don't know! It's the worse smell ever!" Kairi exclaimed as she was completely in the house. She continued to walk around the house with her nose plugged by her hand. "Ugh, it's so dusty. It doesn't seem like anybody's been here for a while. But it sure does smell like it! Hmph, lemme just find some stuff and get out of here!" She managed to make it into a bedroom. 'Hah, perfect' She muttered to herself. She scurried over to what looked like a dresser. "How lucky! These clothes are my size! Dirty, but they'll do." She said to herself, still blocking her nose, as she chose clothing out of the drawers.
"Ah, I think I'll wear this!" She said, pulling out a blue tank top and white shorts. She changed into them quickly. "Hm, maybe a little tight, but they'll do!" She said, grinning. As she turned around she noticed a bed, with a lump on it. A lump as if someone was sleeping in it. Wide-eyed, she walked over to it. "H-hello?" she called, poking at the lump. She shook it, yet nothing happened. "I wonder whats under the covers..." She took hold of the blanket and pulled it off the lump. When the cover was completely off the "lump" she screamed in horror.
Because under the sheet revealed a rotten corpse, bugs flying when she moved their cover. "Oh my god..." She yelled and stumbled backwards, falling to the dirty floor. The corpse was deteriorating, obviously she had found where the stench was coming from. The corpse had some gray hair on it's rotting scalp and dried blood all over it. Kairi got up and ran out of the house as fast as she could, stumbling in the process. "T-That body..." But before she could finish speaking, vomit blocked her throat. She fell to her hands and knees as she puked, disgusted from the sight she had just seen. 'That body.. *vomit* I-I feel like I've seen it before. I don't know where, but I have definitely seen that person before. At least when it was alive.' "Ugh, I have gotta get out of this town!" She exclaimed before standing up and sprinting away from the house.
She ran towards what believed to be the exit, a ginormous gate, it was hard to miss. She jetted towards it until she tripped over something. "Ah!...*falls*...Ugh! Dammit! I hate this town so much! I hope it burns down!" She had tripped over mini sand dune. "Ow! Dammit!" She looked at her now bleeding knee. "A-Are you OK?" Kairi turned to the speaker.
"Oh it's you. No, I'm not OK. My freaking knee kills! What are you even doing here? I told you not to follow me! Shouldn't you be in bed or something?" (It's completely night now.) Gaara stood before her, worry written all over his face. "I was worried about you. Do you need a bandage?" He asked her politely. "No! I don't need anything from you! Oh wait how about this: Stop stalking me!" She yelled at him. "I-I'm not stalking you, we're friends, so I'm worried about you!" He replied. "I don't need you to worry about me! I can take care of myself! So leave me alone. I've already told you, I don't know you. You must have me confused or something! Goodbye, panda-boy." With that she walked away, towards the exiting gate. "Please Kairi, wait!" Gaara extended his arm towards her, sand shooting towards her as well, unannounced to him.
The sand took hold of her ankle, "What the..." she glanced at her ankle, and she fell to the ground once more, her jaw slamming against the hardened sand earth. Which in turn, infuriated her further. "What the hell! That hurt, you bastard!" She stood up, brushing the sand off herself, "Get the hell away from me! I hate you! You're such a freak!" The sand was slashed from her ankle as she was screaming at him by a large wolf ghost. Gaara's eyes widened. "K-Kairi..." He stuttered, fearing she was in danger. Kairi turned away from him. Gaara feared the large ghost wolf would attack her but instead it vanished as she ran. "Kairi..."
'Kairi, I've waited for you for a whole year. All I wished is that you would open your eyes and look at me, that smile that always seems to brighten my day appearing on your face, and embracing me. Then our lives could go back to the days I loved. When we played together, trained together. But now everything's different. You hate me. But I don't hate you. I know you don't have your memory, and it's my fault. I shouldn't have lost it that night. You were the only person I had left. But I just have to accept the fact that the only person who is capable of loving me...is me. Only me.'
UGH, I'm so sorry if you've been waiting for this. But this chapter wasn't particularly difficult to right, it's just that I've been reeeaaally busy. With school starting soon and stuff like that. I'm so sad that summer's almost over. T.T Anyways, just lemme clarify some things: Yes, the house Kairi 'robbed' was her own house, Yes, it was her grandmother, Kiyoshi's, dead body, Yes, Gaara knows that Kiyoshi is dead, Kairi's clothes are tight because it's been a whole year coma or not she still grew, Yes Kairi called Gaara panda boy O.e Any other questions just message me and I'll clarify. Love ya
"You say if you could fly, you'd never come back down.
You only have eyes for that blue, blue sky.
You've yet to learn what sadness is,
And are now just grasping what pain is like..."
