Part -Realisation

"Get away from me!" She shouted, her last breath, gone. Eyes, awash with intense hatred, pain, misery
"Temari? Temari? TEMARI!" He shook her body, lifeless limbs flailed about in the air

"Gaara?"

"Don't die Temari! Please!"

"Gaara!"

"Temari, don't leave me, don't die! I don't want this!" Gaara shook her body again, lifeless limbs thrashed about in the sand

"GAARA!"

"Temari, I didn't kill Kankurou! I don't want you to die! Temari!" He shook her body one last time, hoping, praying that she would take in another breath. Lifeless limbs disturbed the restless sand once again.

"GAARA!!!"

Kankurou shook his brother by the shoulders, he was afraid something would happen to him if he didn't wake up, there was blood almost completely covering his face, coming from a cut that was streaked across his forehead, his hair was matted to his face. The blood was dripping off of the sides of his face and the top part of his shirt was stained red. Kankurou couldn't help but wonder how long he had been lying there for before he had found him
"GAARA! WAKE UP!"
Kankurou shook him by the shoulders again, he was afraid Gaara would die if he didn't wake up, or worse, he would loose himself in Shukaku. Gaara's head jerked back and forth and some of his blood splattered on to Kankurou's shirt.
"Gaara? GAARA! Wake up!"
Gaara's eyes snapped open, his arms shot out and grabbed Kankurou's shirt.
"I DIDN'T KILL THEM!!! I DIDN'T… I wouldn't I SWEAR!!!"
"Gaara, who didn't you kill?"
"You're not here, you're dead, Shukaku killed you… but it wasn't me, I wouldn't do that, I swear! Please, believe me!" Gaara tightened his grip on Kankurou's shirt, almost like he was holding on for safety, Kankurou stared at his younger brother, it was completely unlike him to be this erratic, or, to show his emotions like this
"Gaara…" Kankurou pried Gaara's hands off of his chest, "I'm not dead… no one's dead…"
Gaara took a deep breath and tried to rationalize his thoughts, "Temari… wh-where i-is she…" He took a breath, "is… is she alive?"
"Temari's fine… She might be a little bruised but she's fine, she's out in the desert, training," Kankurou stared at his brother with worry, he couldn't resist a smile as Gaara breathed a sigh of relief, "Gaara, what freaked you out this much?"
"Nothing… I don't want to talk about it…" Gaara stood up, he wiped a hand across his forehead and saw it covered in blood; he simply stared at it in disgust and walked off.
Kankurou chased him down and turned him around, "Gaara, you were screaming… a lot"
"I don't care," he pulled his arm out of Kankurou's grip and carried on walking away, "just leave me alone."
"Gaara!" He ran down the corridor and stood in front of Gaara, barring his way, "Why don't you ever treat me like your older brother?"
Gaara simply glared at Kankurou, "because you never acted like one…" Gaara pushed his way past
"What's that supposed to mean!?" Kankurou shouted, however he received no answer, Gaara didn't want to talk anymore.
Ritsuko bit him and ran past, Damn rabbit… He walked out of the house; he headed to the grounds where Temari usually trained. He could see her faintly through the sandy haze, He ran over to where she was, protecting his face from the sand on the wind.
"TEMARI!" He shouted at his elder sister, she was so absorbed in her training that she didn't hear him, "TEMARI!" He shouted again, this time she turned her head to look at him
"WHAT!?" She shouted, partially mocking Kankurou
Kankurou gave her a dull look, "it's Gaara, I think there's something wrong..."
"How do you mean?"
"I think he had a nightmare, a particularly bad one... he was screaming..."
Temari whipped around and stared at him, "s-screaming?"
"It gets worse," Kankurou took a breath, Temari's outburst wasn't going to be fun, "when I came to see what was happening, his entire face was covered in blood..." Kankurou subconciously took a step back, for fear of his own safety
"NANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Temari screamed at him, "HOW THE HELL DID HE MANAGE TO INJURE HIMSELF!!!"
"I don't know..."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW!? HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW!!!"
Kankurou flinched slightly, he was sure he had felt some spit hit his face, "He wouldn't tell me... he just told me to leave him alone..."
Temari stopped shouting and looked at Kankurou, "this is Shukaku's doing... Gaara was finally starting to open up, finally starting to get along with the villagers... Shukaku doesn't want that..." She paused in thought, "was he sleeping...?"
"Pretty deeply..."
"This isn't good, if this keeps up, Gaara's going to lose himself in that... 'thing's' personality." Temari turned towards their home, "I'll find out what it is..."

Gaara took a washcloth and wiped the remaining blood off his face, he looked at the cut across his forehead and sighed. He took a bandage from a cabinet and wrapped around his head, the idea of actually wearing his forehead protector on his forehead crossed his mind, but he dismissed the idea.
He walked into the kitchen and opened a cupboard, and then the next, and the next, slamming each one shut in proccession
"All we have is ramen..."
He rummaged for a while, trying to see if there was anything other than ramen, and he forund pocky, of course if there ws any food he hated more than ramen, it was pocky
"Damned Kankurou... and Temari..."
"Anything wrong Gaara?"
Gaara turned around and saw Temari and Kankrou in the doorway, "nothing..."
"Are you sure?" Temari walked over to him, "you look pretty messed up"
"I'm fine..."
"No, you're not... Gaara you need to open up to us and tell us what's going on," she took another step towards him, "I'll do whatever it takes to help my little brother..."
"Well maybe I don't want your help..." He turned around and left
Temari stood there for a moment and blinked as she heard a door slam from Gaara's room. She turned to face Kankurou, "it's Shukaku, he's getting to Gaara... we need to do something before he makes Gaara something worse than a monster... If Shukaku gets his way, Gaara will be a demon..."
