'Home' as he had said was right beside the Kazekage tower as it had been since the younger days.
The building was indeed made of sand standing tall, yet small in comparison to the towering building of the Kazekage office. The darkness inside was welcoming as it brought on the coolness that outside lacked. It was a lot smaller than what I had first seen of it, however I was only about three feet tall being a child, and now am taller than Gaara at five feet six. It was still just as cold, barely any family pictures hung up, perhaps one or two on the desk and a small rug by the couches as it had been.
My room was also still the same, Temari had cleaned the bed and sheets of the dust, as well as the surrounding furniture, put up a few lamps for light and put in a new chair that looked extremely comforting. "Temari did a good job." I had praised the eldest child, though she was down stairs trying to find something to eat, cleaning had made her hungry. "Yeah she did. It looks as if someone actually lives here now." Kankuro chuckled at his own remark, as he began to shut the door, reopened it, "Temari bought you some clothes, they're in the closet and dresser. I forgot I was suppose to tell you that." He smiled and shut the door completely leaving me to wonder how in the world Temari got my size. Shrugging it off, went to the closet, filing through the different materials. They all look so nice, but at the same time I think I would have a hard tome putting them on... Am I really that size?
Tilting my head to the side looked at the small fabrics as they looked to be a size four or less, very thin and small making me wonder if I looked sickly or something. Shrugging that off, pulled out a dress, it being s spaghetti strap white dress that frilled some at the bosom area, and a little red bow in the middle. Frowing at how ordinary they all looked decided that white would have to do, discarding the hospital garbs as I walked to the dresser pulling out a bra that just so happened to be the right size, as well as panties that were the right size, in color they were white so that hopefully they wouldn't stand out to much. Slipping the dress on, looked in the mirror that lay just to the left of the closet door.
I looked cute, and it disgusted me. My long flowing hair parted some so that just enough flitted comfortably against the front of my body. Eyes shining the brightest topaz, sparkling in the midday's rays. Skin color tanned yet pale, lacking the nutrients and vitamin D to make it burn a toasted color. under the eyes a dark purple color, tiredness at the front of my mind, eyes drooped and red. Rubbing at my left eye found a pair of glasses resting sliently on the nightstand, they had been mine when I was alive.
Tears threatened to burn, however swallowing the lump in my throat, willed the tears to stay dorment deep within. Taking said glasses fit them against my face, my surroundings becoming more clear.'Knock Knock Knock.'
Turning my head quickly to the right as three knocks resonded through the slightly empty room. "Y-yes?" I asked as the door opened, facing a slightly embarrassed Temari, her expression quickly turned into one of joy as she eyed me. "You look so cute! I knew those clothes would fit you just right, and you would look good in them!" She exclaimed as a blush hinted at my own cheeks. "Th-thank you for getting them for me Temari."
"Don't worry bout it, I was happy to do it." She smiled then eye'd the glasses resting upon my face. "I assumed those would be yours, Kankuro found them when he went to dig around at the site where Gaara found you. He found a few things, it's a little weird if you ask me."
"He found these where... Wait what?" Frowing at what she said, for they made no sense to me what-so-ever. "What are you talking about?"
"Father never told you when you were in the hospital?" Temari tilted her head some as she looked to me with a look of confusion herself. Shaking my head in a wordless no, frowned. "Gaara was out late, something happened to him and he got really upset. So he went and walked around outside of the borders. Apparently upon walking, felt the presence of another person and quickly ran to it, finding you. You were laying on your stomache, your arm and legs were bloody and your right side looked so... wrong..." Shaking her head as she gripped onto her arms. "I'm a ninja, and even I haven't seen something like that before... So, he picked you up with his sand and brought you home where Fahter took you to the hospital and scolded Gaara thinking this was his doing.
"After words, when you collapsed on us and father took you once again to the hospital Kankuro asked Gaara to take him to the spot where he found you. He did, and found those glasses. A weird small rectangular bag, an even smaller rectangular box, a dog collar, a pair of sandals, a bag full of art things, we found a lot of things let me tell you that much." Chuckling softly gestered to the side of the room where a pile of things lay. "My laptop!" Screeching some as I ran to my precious contraption, opening the bag to see that my laptop was indeed in there; as well as my tablet, my cell phone sitting right next to them, Anah's dog collar that I favored, the pink monkey one, my sandals where the ones my aunt gave me from California. They were tan, with cursive words written on them, a toe strap as well as a strap for the rest of the toes that was silver and a wrap that was a bright yellow for the middle part of your foot, the heel was snake skin. The bag she spoke of was my black leather backpack my mother had gotten me one point in time, inside was two of my sketchbooks, one an 8x10 and a 9x12, my three sets of colored pencils, tin that held my sharpener and shavings, many mechanical pancils as well as the lead and traditional wooden pencils, my copic markers as well as regular markers and my colorless blenders. Another thing that happened to be in the bag was my batman cologne, apple that I had gotten for my math teacher, and my Hello Kitty headphones.
Next to my backpack was my hello kitty purse that held my wallet, inhaler, and everything I needed to live on a daily basis. Looking at all these things made me start to chew on the bottom of my lip, making them raw and bleed with the loss of protective flesh.
"Skighler?" Temari whispered softly, resting a hand on my shoulder. "We... also found this.."
Turning my head to look at what she was presenting to me, made me freeze and the tears that threatened to fall cascade down my cheeks like a waterfalls. "Oh."
In her hand was a silver chain, as my eyes followed the gleaming metal to the bottom where something was weighing it down cried even more. In her hand, was a necklace. The small blue robot gleaming at me as if trying to tell me to never forget, to always remember. It was the blue robot I had given my boyfriend, a pink robot went with it signaling we were a couple. "Oh Kami..." I gasped out gripping the robot for dear life. All the feelings I had of this world and of my death hit me like... A car...
After a while of Temari trying her best to soothe my aching heart, my sobs dimmed down to soft whimpers. "Well I'm glad I got most of my stuff." Forcing a smile to form upon my features, turned and rummaged through my belongings. There, I found another necklace that I knew all to well. It was the Gaara necklace I had bought a long time ago, it was the E's pattern on his gourd, and as I took the robot and clasped the clasp off, slipped the metal sign with the robot then putting it on myself. "Yeah I guess. I don't know where it came from but... Glad it's all yours." She smiled to me eyeing the pendent. "That looks familiar."
"O-oh yeah? It's the patterns on Gaara's gourd. Eheh." Smiling as I chuckled nervously, began to scratch the back of my head. I then turned to the door quickly running out it wth a soft blush hinting at my cheeks, the soft clicks and tincks of the metal scrapping against each other echoed through the hall. Temari wasn't to far off as she chuckled softly at my embarrassment. "Oh, Skighler."
"Yes?" Sighing softly turned a little to face her, yet keep my steady pace going. "Gaara, Kankuro and I are going to Konoha for the chunnin exams. You will most likely be here by yourself, unless father decides to take you with us."
"Oh, I so wish to go!" Exclaiming loudly, smiled brightly un hopes that I would get to go to Konoha and see the blonde headed male that would change Gaara forever.
