A/N: Since school started I have had very little free time so this is all I've got. The school is getting us all prepared to go to high school and stuff so yeah. I'm kind of scared to be a freshman haha…

Are demons supposed to feel this way? I asked myself, placing my hand to where my heart was. After my encounter with the white-eyed boy, my mind was a bit jumbled. I kept thinking about the feeling I had thought I'd thrown away a long time ago.
But now it's back.
I wondered what Ryoku and Hizanu would say when I tell them that I might have my first ever crush. Should it even be considered a crush? Truth to be told, I'm only 12, so the chances of this attraction being love is a million to one.
Right?
I growled and kicked the tall tree in front of me, bending it in half. Lately, my demon blood has been starting to act up a lot now, and most of those times I catch a glimpse of red hair.
I decided to tour around Konoha again, maybe search for someone who was stupid enough to fight me, or maybe just someone to talk to. There was a yell in the distance and a large crowd of people were surrounding something.
While some were worried and gasping, others were cheering and yelling out, "Fight! Fight! Fight!" This reminded me of my school days when every time a couple a boys got into a fight, the students surrounded them and chanted them on, instead of trying to break it up.
I calmly walked towards the group of people and looked over a short kid's shoulder. My eyes widened slightly when I saw that Gaara person again, and a ninja from the Sound Village.
The sand I had frozen before was already released from his gourd and striking at his opponent. He stood in front of the other shinobi, calm, as if nothing was bothering him. Again, what intrigued me the most was his emotionless face, no hint of anger, sadness, love…?
When I was locked up in that basement before, I had pictured my eyes as his were right now, since I had no way of seeing how my eyes actually looked. I decided I wouldn't draw attention to myself, so I didn't bother to stop the fight going on.
Looks like the people gathered around them had no intention to stop the battle either, their cheers growing louder and louder by the second.
After many dodging and attacks, the sound nin retreated realizing that he wouldn't be able to defeat Gaara, who had been at the same spot throughout the whole fight, not moving one inch.
The crowd dispersed as expected, going back to their own activities, almost seemingly like the fight never happened.
I had stayed, hoping to have an actual conversation with the mysterious shinobi. Maybe this time we won't try to kill each other. "Uh…" Great, I didn't know what to say. What exactly should I say to someone who seems like they never had a conversation longer than three seconds?
"You're a demon." Gaara's voice was low and deep. I was taken aback for a second, shocked that he knew of my curse. "Mom is telling me." Mom? Who was his mom?
I remained in the same spot for a few more minutes and didn't speak. After a few more moments the red head turned and walked away. I had wanted to yell after him and say that I wasn't done speaking to him, but I restrained myself from doing so.
I should be concentrating on training for the 3rd exam, not slacking off. But not being conceited or anything, do I really need to train to defeat these weaklings?
