I DO NOT OWN NARUTO! BUT I DO OWN KANA!
Kana's POV
I really wasn't up for this mission that was assigned to us. I didn't even want to be here right now. I sighed and stared up and the night sky. The Chuunin exams would be starting in a few days and once the signal is given we must attack the Hokage. I shivered at the memory.
"The real reason is that we, er well I, was ordered to kill the Hokage. He was the one who wanted to wipe out all the other villages so he can become the Ultimate Kage," I could still hear Gaara's voice repeating this over and over again. I knew I heard something I wasn't suppose to but I couldn't bring myself to acknowledge it. I wanted so badly to tell at least Temari but I couldn't even summon up enough courage to do that.
The wind picked up and whipped my hair around my face viciously. Just then I heard a noise so I sat up quickly in a defensive way. I calmed down as soon as the person's face registered in my mind.
"Gaara?" I asked curious. He stood there looking like a god; my demon god. His fire red hair lifted in the light breeze that followed the big one. His skin looked like white marble under the brilliant moon beams. The way he stood, with his muscled arms crossed and looking completely comfortable was just the icing on the cake. I couldn't believe that this beautiful boy was actually mine. I didn't deserve him and yet, I have him.
"What are you doing up this late?" he asked in his normal bored voice. I shrugged.
"I couldn't sleep so I came out here," I said simply trying to hide the fact that I didn't want to be here. I'm not like him. I can't kill someone without feeling guilty, sorrow or remorse but that was one of the things I loved most about him. To anyone else he was cruel but to me he was so gentle. He came and sat down beside me. I gave him a sideways glance. His arm was leisurely resting on his knee and the wind lifted his hair again. I still couldn't get over how beautiful he was. He caught me looking at him so I tried to pretend that I was looking at something on the other side of him.
"Kana?" he asked, not looking at me. The way he said that made something in my stomach drop.
"What are you hiding from me?" he asked looking up to meet my shocked and probably slightly guilty look. I looked away.
"I don't know what you're talking about," I said casually, trying to play dumb. I doubt it would work but hey, it's worth a try. I felt him grab my chin and force me to look him in the eye.
"Don't try to hide it. I know you are hiding something from me. Why would it be dangerous for you to use your power?" he asked. Yep that is the exact question I was hoping to avoid. Well I knew it was coming sooner or later. I began to play with my fingers.
"Well I don't really have control over it yet. If I use it it becomes dangerous not only for me but for the other person as well. My power is one of a kind. I doubt there is another like it. It's my kekkei genkei. Others in the village posses it but I'm the most powerful and dangerous. I don't know where it's going to strike next," I looked up at him. He was studying me with curious but cautious eyes. I smiled and forced the expression of enthusiasm.
"Maybe you will get to see it when I participate in the Chuunin Exams," I laughed and looked away; out over Konoha. It truly was the biggest looking village.
"Well we will be participating in two days, so maybe I will but right now I think you should go get some rest," he said smiling slightly at me. I smiled back and rose to my feet.
"Thank you Gaara, good night," I said walking away but before I jumped back into my window I turned back around.
"I love you," I said completely disappearing from his sight. When I was in bed I almost fell asleep instantly but the last image that invaded my eyelids was the rare smiling face of Gaara.
I walked through the trees not really knowing where I was going. I only knew that if I kept going I would be away from those accusing eyes of everyone. Why would everyone run? Was I scary? Was I a monster? I wanted my mommy but I knew she would be safer with me gone. I was still in search of Gaara. I knew he would never shun me like everyone else did. Just then a large burly man jumped down from a nearby tree. He was easily three times my size. I heard his beep booming laughter.
"So this is the stealer?" he asked looking me from head to toe. Then he laughed again.
"But you're just a little girl. How could you possibly pose a threat to me?" he asked walking closer. I back up with each step he took. I began to tremble. Why is this happening again? What did I do? Am I bad? He grabbed the collar of my shirt and I struggled as my feet left the ground.
"No stop put me down!" I yelled trying to loosen his grip. Then that feeling came back. It grew stronger and stronger and the space around us became a bright blue. My hand pressed against his chest as once more the tendrils lashed out uncontrollably. He cried out and fell to his knees, causing me to crash to the ground. I looked at my hand and shook my head. Not again!
"You little bastard!" he said breathlessly. He stared at me with the same horrorstruck expression as everyone else.
"You are not human, you are a monster!" he yelled trying to get up but couldn't. I felt his power but could do nothing about it. I stood up and with my head lowered, walked away from him and deeper into the sinister woods. I began to shake but I didn't know why.
I woke up and saw Temari staring down at me. I gave her a questioning look. She looked so bright and happy and it was only the morning. I knew she didn't like mornings.
"Why are you so happy this morning?" I asked yawning. When she didn't answer I looked up and her and her expression made me feel slow.
"Kana…it is 2:15 in the afternoon," she said smiling and laughing. I shot up out of bed and hurried to get dressed.
"Why didn't anyone wake me up then?" I asked running from one side of the room to the other. She just laughed harder.
"Because Gaara wouldn't allow us to," I stopped and looked at her.
"Where is he?" I asked since the house seemed a little to quiet. "And Kankuro?" she pushed me into the bathroom and began working with my hair which was literally a rats nest.
"Oh they went out to prepare for the Chuunin Exams. I really can't wait to kick some butt!" she squealed excitedly. I was excited too but for different reasons.
"Yeah I can't wait to watch the all mighty Temari fight!" I said enthusiastically and watched as her reflection in the mirror smiled.
"I can also get a chance to see yours," she murmured pulling a brush through my tangled hair. I laughed but it sounded awkward.
"Maybe," I whispered. I may just forfeit. In just a few days I will be standing in that arena facing off with someone who may be powerful and my powers may just come out; without my permission.
I follow Temari to where Kankuro and Gaara were preparing. I was basically training but they weren't fighting. Gaara was using his sand and Kankuro was using his puppet thing. My eyes were on Gaara the entire time. I was a little jealous of how easily he could control the sand. I compared that to me and how I hardly had any control over my power. His was in his usual stance; arms crossed across his chest and standing like he was comfortable but bored.
Sand tendrils were lashing out and following his ever command perfectly. I love to watch him fight but I hated it at the same time; I wanted to be able to do that. He looked up and our eyes met. I felt so small under his gaze but I calmed down the emotions that got stirred up. He smiled and I couldn't help but smile back. Words can't describe the feelings I have for that gorgeous boy.
