Chapter 21

"A Fateful Sound"

A man was walking around the streets at a very late hour. He was searching, but searching for what?

He wanted revenge. Sure, he didn't kill her this time but he will. He had hugged her and he was going to stab her to her wonderful death. Yes, that's what he would enjoy doing. He wanted to see her blood on his knife once more, he wanted her death to complete his life.

There was no other reason for him to exist.

But there had been an unexpected interruption. There was a boy, about her age. Yes, he interrupted his duty to kill her. Was he her friend? No, she couldn't possibly have friends, she didn't have friends. Nevertheless, he had protected her. That filth with the red hair.

He hated him and he was going to find and kill him too. But where could he be? The girl would know, yes she would.

The man roamed the streets alone, mumbling to himself.

"I have to kill her…she ruined my life…"

"I almost had her that time…but he interrupted"

"Why did he protect her? He didn't seem like he cared but he stopped me…"

Flashback

"Get away from her!" Gaara's fist met with Kusota's Dad's face.

He staggered and ran away before anything else could happen.

"Coward…" Gaara muttered.

Gaara saw Kusota's lifeless body on the ground. He felt her breathing when he picked her up.

'She's still alive…'

He picked he up, bridal style and ran as quickly as he could to her house…

End of Flashback

Mahaku knocked eagerly on my door.

"Come one Kusota! I'm going to ask out Temari today!" he yelled while knocking on the door. It was early afternoon, about 12 or so. I was sleeping on my bed but Mahaku's knocks had awakened me.

'What's wrong with him!'

I opened my eyes and squinted, the light from the sun had lit up my room. I blindly reached over to close the shades. I think my brother had stopped knocking by then. I knew he would drag me by the hair to Gaara's house so I took a shower and put some clothes on. My hair was wet because I had washed it, it's blue color seemed darker, fuller.

I ate and saw my brother in a better mood than most days. I sighed and told I'd head over their house first to check if Temari was there.

"Call me if she's not there, ok?" asked Mahaku.

I nodded my head and walked out the door. The walk to Gaara's house had been a blur. The trees and streets seem to pass more quickly than usual. I saw his home and I walked up to the front door. I rung the doorbell and waited for someone to answer.

I saw Kankuro when the door opened. His light brownish hair glinted in the sunlight. Kankuro was wearing a baggy black shirt with baggy black pants. He had a chain on and I could smell light cologne.

'Kankuro looks…different today. He's kind of hot now that I look at him closely. He has a nice body just like his younger brother.' I thought.

Gaara's point of view

I walked to the front of the house but I saw that Kankuro had answered. I saw Kusota's wet, blur hair standing in front of the door. Kankuro was speaking with her very…suspiciously.

'What is he doing?' I wondered.

Kankuro asked something and Kusota blushed. She looked down at her feet and murmured something I couldn't figure out.

'What the hell is he doing now!'

I felt upset yet I didn't know why. Just watching her blush like that…he was speaking to her like he did to other girls he liked.

'Does he like Kusota? He mentioned something about her…'

I scolded myself for not remembering. Why was he talking to her in that manner? I didn't like it that's how much I knew. I saw him let her in, his arm went around her. Angry rose in my mind. Why was I angry? Is it because?…no I'm angry because Kankuro is acting like an imbecile.

I pretended I hadn't been there watching, so I walked out into the living room glaring at Kankuro.

"Hey little brother!" Kankuro said, strangely happily.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Well I wanted to tell you I have a new girlfriend." He boasted.

'WHAT DID HE SAY? What the hell does he mean by that?'

I looked at Kusota, her eyes looked down at her feet once we made the slightest eye contact.

"What ever." I said while pushing past them.

I felt Kusota's eyes looking at me after I left the house. I didn't want to be in a place where Kankuro was. I was angry with him for being an idiot, a stupid damn idiot. I walked on until it felt as if I had been walking for years.

Strangely, I came upon the abandoned park. I remembered the first day that I saw her here. It was also the first time I saw her tears. I hadn't cared much for her back then but now I…

'I…..no. I still don't care much for her. Maybe…I…only care for her as a friend.'

I wasn't use to saying this word 'friend'. Why was I so angry at Kankuro for? Why? Am I angry with Kusota too? No…I'm not.

'My heart…it…no. I don't wish I could be in Kankuro's position. I don't care. I wouldn't care even if they…kissed. No I don't care.'

In Kusota's point of view. Back at the house with Kankuro

I was in Kankuro's room now. I had never been in here before. A dark turquoise green was the color of his walls. His room was fairly disorganized but I didn't mind. My room wasn't the neatest either. His bed sheets were the same color as his walls. Ha had a television on a dresser. A playstation 2 was connected to it. I was sitting on his bed with him next to me. I felt sort of uncomfortable but I not to much.

It was just a new room and soon I became more of myself. Kankuro was sitting next to me.

"I wonder what he's upset about." Kankuro complained.

"Do you think he got upset because of us?" I asked with curiosity.

'I hope he's not too angry…'

"He'll get over it, don't worry." Kankuro reassured me.

I smiled at him and he hugged me, it felt good to be embraced by someone other than your brother. When he let me go I asked him,

"What games do you have?"

I motioned towards the playstation and he got up to open a drawer on the dresser below his television.

"Um…a lot of bloody games but I know you don't like that…I have. Well why don't you come over here and I'll show you all of them?"

I walked over and bent down to look through the games. I saw a final fantasy game and I pulled it out. It had the three girls on the front, I hadn't played this version.

"Can we play this one?" I smiled at him.

"How could I refuse a face like that?" he teased.

I felt happy. We played until I heard my brother ring the doorbell and Temari answer. I didn't know what was going on but I didn't step out of Kankuro's room for fear of interrupting something. I was having fun with Kankuro playing video games but inside a part of me felt guilty about Gaara.

'I should have asked him…'

Regardless I enjoyed my time with my new…boyfriend. I never thought I'd ever use that word referring to myself.

After my brother called for me. I knew he wasn't making me leave but it was just a signal that he was leaving.

I turned to Kankuro after pausing the game, "I'm going to check up on Gaara ok?"

"Okay sure."

I walked to Gaara's locked door. I knocked, twice but still no answer. I heard shuffling from inside the room so I knew he was inside.

"Hey Gaara…I'm sorry. I didn't know what I did but I don't want you upset at me…"

I knew I was talking to myself. Gaara didn't want to listen to me but to my surprise he opened the door. he had an angry look on his face but he didn't let me in. He was standing there, waiting for me to say something.

"Um…well. I wanted to know why you were angry…"

He looked at me and stated, "I'm not angry. I don't care"

"Oh…okay. Well I'm leaving now ok?"

Without a goodbie or a second glance, Gaara closed his door and locked it. His window was on the same side as the front door. I knew that.

I was heading out the door and I said goodbye to Kankuro. I was smiling and we stared at eachother for some time…a second passed…a minute…

I was getting uncomfortable but before I turned around, Kankuro's face slowly got closer to mine. I saw his eyes close and his arm on my shoulder. I knew what he was going to do. I closed my eyes, preparing myself for my first kiss.

Gaara's point of view form inside his bedroom

Why was I looking out the window? But I could see them.

Kankuro's face was getting closer to her's.

Their eyes closed.

I didn't want to watch but I watched all the same.

I saw their lips meet and my heart burned with new anger.

Why was HE kissing her?

She deserved much better.

My mind filled with all sorts of strange things I've never thought about before. All of them were about Kusota.
