Chapter 21
Suna
I awoke when I heard a thump on the roof top. I slowly, and groggily, sat up to see my favourite red head( granted he's the only red head I'd ever met) sitting next to me. "Nnnn… What are you doing here?" I asked trying to seem normal. He sat there blank faced for a while, just looking at the sun rise. I forced him to face me. "What are you doing here?" I asked in a more serious tone. He looked me straight in the eye for what felt like forever, I felt like shivering. "Someone's following you… It's my mission to protect you…" He said blankly. "Just doin' my job." He said with a smirk tugging at the edge of his mouth. "Yeah… I know someone's following' me… He trapped me last night…" I said looking down as I dropped my hands from his face. I couldn't see, but some how I knew his eyes were bulging out. "What?" He almost yelled. "I used to know him… Back when I was in the academy, and when I was in a squad…" I said still looking down. "Wait… You know you're follower?" He asked. I sighed. "Yes. His name is Kurai Korosu… He was in my squad back when I was in the academy…" I said looking down at my hands. "He liked me… But I liked someone else… He didn't know I liked someone else though… He was enraged when my father removed me from the squad because Our team mate was killed in action…" I explained. "What did he say last night?" He asked after a moment of silence. I sighed. "I didn't recognize him at first so he attempted to remind me of him… Once I remembered, he told me just how much he hated my father… Them He attempted to kiss me…" I said, I wouldn't tell him that he actually did kiss me because I knew Kurai would be dead in a second. I sat there in silence, waiting for Gaara's response. Waited and waited, but nothing came. I eventually looked up to see something I had never expected. He was just sitting there, staring at me with his eyes bulged out. I waved my hand in front of his face, but got no response. "Gaara?" I said quietly. "Are you alright?" I asked. He just sat there for a moment, not moving. I reached for his wrist, making sure there was a pulse. There was a pulse, but it was irregular. I felt myself loosen control.
She is awake.
I began to panic as I lost feeling of his pulse. I wanted to yell and as I was about to yell his name I felt my self choking. But what was doing this to me? I knew, but no one else did except the Konoha medical nin who is responsible for it… My sight went blurry and I felt tears running down my face. I was internally screaming, as I couldn't physically scream. I don't know what happened next but everything was red, I was floating through nothing, yet I was floating through something. I tried to fight this but was unable. I just floated, For what felt like forever…
