Gaara
I stared down at the small mounded grave and grey tombstone, the rain poured down onto my face and clothes, washing my tears with them. There were people gathered around but the deceased person had no family, they had barely nothing, just their smile to make friends with, and thats was what I had fallen for, their smile and warm heart.
"Gaara...are you o.k?" Temari asked me, herself drenched and cold, we had been here for a while... but I didn't reply, I felt too numb and empty to, like something had ripped up the last fragments of my heart and threw them away. I turned my head away from my siblings who wouldn't understand the pain, hate and angry inside of me, the last things inside of me.
I clutched angrily at the cloth covering my heart wishing I couldn't be protected to rip out the pumping blood filled muscle, I hadn't felt this pain so much since I last remembered my mum dying on me and me finding out that my uncle wished to kill me. It wasn't fair...why me to lose everyone I loved?
Yes, I loved the person six feet under the sodden soil I stood upon, what life did they have...except giving their only precious life to a monster? Maybe my father was right, I should die...but I can't. That is why I will always hate myself...
"Yes Gaara you are a monster...and you killed the last person who would ever care for you" I heard a evil person laugh, I looked up and saw my father, he was stood beside the grave stone...smirking.
"You know, I should have tried harder to kill you" He said folding his arms, I didn't say anything,"But then I wouldn't be enjoying your pain over a little pathetic blonde girl..."
I clenched my hands and growled at him, "Don't you talk about her like that!"
He laughed, "Why? She was, caring for a monster like you"
"She was a good person" I yelled, hate boiling up inside of me, no way he was going to insult her, "I cared for her back!"
"Well it was more than cared for, wasn't it?" My father grinned, "You loved her!"
I shook my head, and turned away...he knew I did care for her, maybe even a little bit more then just care...maybe love. Well what was love? My uncle told me it was a heart's desire, and I wanted her to come back so much, to feel her warmth, her excitement, her compassion...I wanted to touch her one more time, just to remember the nerves, excitement and love I felt for her as she did...but she was gone...
"You do love her then" He spat cruelly turning up his nose, "Love is pathetic like you, and if you loved her...then why is Kaya dead because of you?"
The dream was still vivid in my mind as I sat beside Kaya's bed, could I have killed Kaya? Should I have fought harder to protect her? Why wasn't it me laying on my death bed awaiting the verdict on wether I would live or die...I gritted my teeth and looked away from Tsunade who was checking through her hospital records.
"Granny Tsunade is the best, Gaara" Naruto grinned at me sensing my nevres, "She can heal anyone!" I nodded at my friend but I wasn't completely reassured by this...there was always the fact Kaya could die...
"Gaara..." Tsunade said and I looked up at her with a empty feeling in my stomach, "Kaya is in critical condition-"
"YES, we know that! Just tell us what to do about it!" Temari yelled getting agitated, it had been over a week and most of my wounds had cleared up, there were few wounds too heal but for Kaya...there had been no change apart from her physical wounds were healing slightly.
Tsunade narrowed her green eyes at Temari before turning to me, "Well I wanted to ask, how close were you and Kaya?" I frowned at her question, why would she want to know that? I was as puzzled as the other few people in the room.
"W-well..." I stuttered slightly, hoping I wasn't blushing, "We were...slightly close"
"Oh..." Tsunade looked dissapointed.
"Thats a lie...they were really close" Kankuro said, "Boyfriend and girlfriend level..." I glared at him and felt my cheeks burn slightly, boyfriend and girlfriend, Tsunade didn't need to know about my personal affairs...
"Really?" Tsunade nodded smiling slightly before looking serious, "That helps..."
"How?" I asked, waving away my embarrasment
"Well...have you heard of a chakra jump start?" Tsunade asked and I shock my head, "It's rare but possible"
"But Tsunade-sensei...thats life risking" Sakura gasped as she stood the other side of Kaya's bed.
"I know...it's risky for both chakra giver and receiver but it might be the only way" Tsunade said, "It can save anyone from anything maybe even death...there must be maxium four people, on the safe side, to give their chakra to a certain person...this could go either three ways. First one is, you give too little and the chakra receiver will die. Second one is that you give too much, this kills you and them...The third way is the best, you give the perfect amount of chakra and the person lives along with you....It's a risk."
I sat silently, letting this new information sink in...chakra jump start? It was a big risk...was I needed for it and who would be the other three people? Would this actually be better then just sitting around waiting for Gaara to live.
"I'll be one of the four, Gaara, along with you since I'm a medic nin and you are a important person to Kaya which gives us a bigger chance for Kaya to live." Tsunade said and I nodded accepting that I must do what it takes to save Kaya...
"I'll help be one of the four" Naruto yelled grinning as I turned towards him.
"You sure?" Tsunade asked
"Yeh, Believe it! I'll do it for Gaara and his girlfriend" Naruto yelled walking up to Kaya's bed. I smiled to myself, I was completely in debt to Naruto since he mostly did anything for me...
"I'll do it too, sensei!" Sakura said walking forward and I nodded standing up and moving closer to Kaya's bed.
"Ok, put all your hands over Kaya" Tsunade ordered us and we did so, "Focus and release your chakra willingly towards Kaya"
"For Kaya!" Naruto grinned as his hand was lit up by blue energy.
"For Kaya!" Sakura smiled as her hand was absorbed by the same colour.
"For Kaya" I repeated as my hand began to sting and lit up with the same energy.
"For Kaya" Tsunade nodded, the same action repeating to her hand, "Lets....START!"
Kaya
I was streched out across the white ground, floating or lying down...depends on how you see it, I stared out at nothing just the plain white back ground lighting up my mind. I thought I could escape but when I tried by running around a bit it didn't get my any where just me running in a ever lasting night mare, unable to wake up...so I gave up.
It was peaceful at first but then I started to feel my body tingle like I was lightly being tickled or had an itch underneth my skin aggravating me, I ignored the tingling at first but it seemed to get worst and stronger. What was going on?
I inspected my un harmed body as shivers ran down my spine...my mouth gaped open slightly as I saw my self looking slightly translucent and pale, at first I thought it was an illusion because of all the white but I tried to touch myself but my hand went straight through.
I smiled maybe this was a way out...or...I suddenly yelped as I started to burn like I was on fire, I cursed and stood up trying to grasp my arms which were alarmingly fading away fast.
What was this? What was happening as my hand started to vanish from sight? I turned around trying to spot the source of this power I was feeling and which made the white mix into a light blue with streaky lightening bits in it.
Was I dying finally or was my time up in limbo land and I was heading home or heaven? I looked around the room which reflected my fading image back in it. My right arm was vanishing quickly reaching my chest and face, as the part of my body dispersed in cells they flew up and spiralled like smoke.
It was beautiful yet alarming, but there was little I could do about it, I closed my eyes as the side of my face dispersed, where ever I was going I hoped it was better then here...
Gaara
I began to ache, physically drained and beads of sweat trickled down my forehead as I concentrated hard on giving all my chakra to Kaya like all my other group members were doing. Tsunade was gritting her teeth obviously from the pain and strain on us, Naruto was sweating like me but putting all his effort in and Sakura was wincing.
I felt guilty especially since it was partly my fault Kaya was in this critical state but even then they offered themselves to help, they didn't even know Kaya yet they were willing to help at all costs...
"NARUTO!" Tsunade yelled, I turned to see my blonde friend gritting his teeth angrily as his red demon chakra spilled out, "NARUTO DROP OUT!"
"No I can handle-" Naruto began to argue
"NARUTO! NO!" Tsunade yelled before Naruto pulled away and falling back, it was a matter of time before my own demon chakra showed, the chakra was too dangerous to give to Kaya it could kill her.
"Sensei...I can't..." Sakura winced, Tsunade nodded at Sakura who added, "Sorry..." before dropping out, the weight was too heavy but I was ok for them to drop out, I wouldn't though...just got to control the chakra....
"Gaara....you can stop!" Tsunade yelled at me as sweat fell from her face. I just shook my head and continued giving chakra...this far, no time to give up...
"Almost time..." Tsunade yelled after a while, "Count down from ten and pull away!"
"Ok..." I yelled in response, gritting my teeth...please Kaya....
Kaya
I was flying....lifting high up...a wooshing sound sped past me. It was extrodinary... beautiful, just a little further.
Gaara
Ten, nine, eight...
Kaya
...seven, six, five...
Gaara
...four, three, two...
Kaya
....one... I was lifted high up, a bright light consumed me, I was ready to open my eyes...
Gaara
...one...I pulled away and yelped at the sudden burning feeling in my hands, I fell back and missed comfort behind me...I hit the cold ground behind me before seeing stars and hearing yelling and my name being called...
Kaya
My eyes snapped open to a white room, at first I thought I was in that limbo place again but rolling over, on a very comfy bed, I saw a blur of people gathered around red topped blur on another bed. My eyes sight was bad but there was something familiar about the red blur...
"Kaya..." The voice chilled me, sending a shiver down my spine... that low and husky voice could only belong to one person. I sat up and looked over the rabble of people and blinked at two emerald green eyes staring at me.
Gaara
Clutching the side of my throbbing head, I leant against the hospital bed and stared down at the two bright blue eyes staring up at me, my heart ached as I scanned across the freckled face which was framed by long blonde hair, that belonged to only one person...
"Kaya..." I mumured at the sleepy looking girl sat up and stared back.
"Gaara..." Kaya whispered choking slightly on the salty tears stinging in her eyes, my heart began to pound hard as she whispered my name, my skin tingled with goose bumps, she was finally awake and alive...
