14. Eeeek!
Sunset is so pretty.
Especially in Suna were it turns the brightest hues of gold and orange and pink, at one point its almost red.
It beautiful.
Too bad there weren't more people out to enjoy it.
Course I was in the middle of the desert. Looking for some person who was suppose to arrive today and Gaara told me to go meet up with him.
Speaking of Gaara, I can feel his stare boring into my back.
I turned around and there he is, higher up on the cliff.
He's scowling.
Gaara's scowl means one of two thing:
1. He's serious.
or
2. He's pissed off.
Sand arrow strait at me.
"whoa!"
I dodged and it followed me. Not much maneuvering room on a cliff here! I backed against the wall were I could no longer see him.
And he appears to the side.
And the sand attacks.
It wrapped around my arm.
Damn.
No, no ,no ,NO! its crushing my arm!
I need this arm thank you very much! I threw a stone at Gaara and it sped strait to him, only to be stopped by sand.
My arm was released but followed quickly by another attack.
I dodged and ran away from the edge.
He attacked.
This went on for a few more hours.
Night fell.
His sand caught me a few times.
I'm pretty sure three of my ribs are cracked.
My left leg is numb.
And there's blood dripping into my right eye.
I panted, holding my side and watching for the next attack.
I got side blinded. A wave of sand came up, all I could see was its vague silhouette and sense it coming.
But not even that was enough to stop it.
I couldn't dodge.
There was no where to run.
It tossed me of the cliff.
Freefalling is something I've had experience with.
You never get used to the fear.
There's nothing to grab.
Your eyes are watering too much to see.
Because its nighttime your almost too numb from cold to feel the wind.
You can only hear it whistle as you fall.
Faster by the foot.
From this height, whatever limb I landed on would break and all I'm thinking is….
What the hell is Gaara's issue? And were the hell is my cookie!
You know what?
I really don't want to hit the ground.
I don't want to get hurt.
I don't want to be found crying.
I don't want to touch the sand.
I'd rather stay in the sky.
I like the wind.
I like the sound.
I like this feeling of flying.
The exhilaration.
The speed.
I don't want to land.
I want to fly!
Oh.
Now I know what Gaara was talking about.
The daydreams.
The falling off rooftops.
The being able to sense were everyone is.
Blowing away his attack in konoha.
Making that guy pass out.
It was all me!
Gaara has his sand.
I have the wind.
And guess what?
I'm flying!
Up, away from the ground.
Up, over the cliff.
Up, passed Gaara and his smirking.
Up, pass the world and into the Sky!
Hahaha I can see Gaara on his sand trying to catch up to me.
This is great.
But I'm tired now.
So tired…….
So I flew, right.
And whatever goes up….
Must come down.
I fell right out of the sky.
I'm lucky as hell Gaara was there or I'd be dead.
But, I know what I can do now. It amazing, to control air like Gaara controls sand.
Maybe I should open my eyes now.
I can feel them standing over me.
They're worried.
I blinked.
Blink again.
Okay one more time, just to make sure.
Gaara is like two inches from my face.
I blushed.
"hn"
He stood up and sat down in a chair.
I was on the couch were we always set injured people even though we have beds and stuff.
"you are a complete idiot!" Temari shouted from the doorway.
"hey, I know your arm is broken or whatever, but can you still make soup?" Kankuro piped up from behind Temari.
My arm?
Soup?
I looked at the arm, In its cast. Awwww.
It's not even a pretty cast.
It's blue.
Red would have been better, cas red is a Gaara color.
I shall graffiti the evil blue cast.
Graffiti it to look like pretty colors.
" hehe, I control air!" I said happily.
"woosh! Heheha."
I'm a little loopy right now.
Did they give me medicine?
Medicine has funny side affects.
My mouth tastes fuzzy.
My ears sound weird.
Yep I'm loopy as a lizard.
Wait, are lizards loopy?
Can I have a cookie?
My eyes look green.
Oh wait, those are Gaara's eyes.
Such pretty pretty eyes……
Guess what?
While I was passed out Council got wind of what we had found out and summoned me.
To the council.
That I dislike very much for their 'must control everything' issues.
"would you please give us a demonstration of your abilities, so that we may decide what to do with you?" council person asked.
Gaara was glaring at them.
"I don't know how." me!
"excuse me?"
"umm.. I don't exactly know how to summon my power or whatever."
"hmph" old council lady.
"how did you summon the ability before?" council person.
"I was ,uh, in a life threatening situation."
The council looked at each other, then me….. Greedily.
"Absolutely not." Gaara! In his commanding Kazekage voice. Hehe.
"excuse me?"
" you will do no harm to Kukichi Kyoki in order to bring forth his ability."
He talks so formally, its kinda weird. But he's cute with his formalness and I-shouldn't-blush right-now-because-I'm-in-a-room-full-of-people.
The council people started whispering amongst themselves.
An old guy in the back addressed Gaara.
"did you say her name was Kichi? Would she be a remnant of the Kichi clan?"
More old people whispering.
"um, its Kukichi…."
" 'ku' is a simple suffix. With the description of your ability it would fit with the power of the Kichi clan."
"really? So where is this Kichi clan." I asked.
"dead."
…
…
Awwww!
"can I ask why?"
"we have other matters to attend to. You are dismissed."
suspicious rudeness…
Is very rude.
