Chapter Twelve – Anguish
His thoughts were far away. He didn't even realize he had company. He stiffened when a hand touched his back. He reacted rather violently; he grabbed the offended hand threw him off his body. He twirled around and growled. The intruder crashed against a tree, and then he felt on the ground. He coughed and blood run down from the corner of his lips. Gaara did not feel satisfied as he would, when seeing blood. Something was wrong. Very wrong.
He slowly approached the tree. He stopped in his track, his eyes widened as he recognized the intruder. It was his friend. He stood frozen there; his body could not move. His eyes were fixed on his friend's injured body. After all what she had seen, she still followed after him. And he, a fool that he was, threw her at the next tree. He swore to protect her from any harm.
And here he was, killing his very best friend and breaking his vow. He made mistake after mistakes. His eyes watered as he watched his sand surrounded her. It helped her as she was trying to get up. She grimaced at the sudden pain. He flinched when he saw that. It was his fault. His fault. At that moment he could not help as a small sob escaped his lips and a tear rolled down his cheek.
'Why? Why it is always like this? Why me? She was the first to care for me, and all I do is hurting her!' He screamed in anguish and despair. He hated and loathed himself for what he has done.
"I am sorry, exceedingly sorry. I didn't mean to…. I am sorry…"cried Gaara as he fell down to the ground with his head between his knees. His whole body shook as he wept tears.

A/N: Minna-san, thank you for those lovely reviews! They always cheer me up whenever I'm sad. Here is chapter 12. Sadly, but truth to be told, this story will end in about 3-4 chapters. I will upload a seperate story, sequel to this one ( not written yet), on this site. It'll be about their friendship growing into something more- might be difficult to write... because I suck at writing romance. ^^;
