>"I'm sorry…" her head hung low, she could feel her eyes watering up. But she held it back, knowing full well that he probably didn't want her pity. He stopped.
>Twice in one day…
>"It's fine but…" his back still facing her, she looked up hoping that he would turn around but he didn't.
>"…can I…come back for hugs?" he turned his head to the side a little bit waiting for her answer.
>"Of course…just come find me whenever you feel like it ok?" she smiled a little bit.
>Even though he couldn't see her face, he could hear it in her voice.
>She's smiling…is it for me?

He silently walked through the village. Either receiving fearful looks or hateful glares…Sometimes, even both. He ignored them, not wanting for those looks to get to him.
Eventually he reached what he would call home, even though he never treated like one. It was just a decorated cell, a place to keep him in.
Walking into the house, he saw his sister sitting on the couch reading a magazine.
Temari…
"Welcome back Gaara." She spoke in a caring, but frightened sort of way. He kept silent.
"You left your gourd behind and that got me a little worried…" she smiled a little, he lowered his head.
"…Do you really care about me? Or is it something else…?" he spoke, never looking up.
"What? Of course I care about you!" she got up from her seat to try and defend herself from the words that are being thrown at her by Gaara.
"…" not feeling satisfied by this, he felt saddened at his sister's reaction. He wanted more of an explanation than that, but she stopped talking.
He walked away, silently marching up the stairs to his room.
Temari realized that it was slower than his usual speed.
He looks as if he's got the world's burden on his shoulders...Even more so now…Temari thought to herself while staring at her little brother's retreating figure.
"Hey…Is Gaara back?" a hooded boy stuck his head out of the kitchen door.
"Yea…But he's different today…" Temari spoke never turning a glance to her other brother.
"What do you mean? What's wrong?" he wasn't speaking out of concern for Gaara, but mainly for himself and his life, as well as his sister's.
"I don't know…He just is…" again, never once looking back at her middle aged brother.
(A/N: You have no idea how shocked I was when I heard that Temari was the oldest! I thought Kankurou was the oldest ya know? Like how there should be a big brother to look after his little sister and how a big sister would want a little brother…that thing? Anyways…If you're confused…Temari is first…then Kankurou…then Gaara!)
Gaara gently shut the door of his room. Walking over to his bed, which he's never use unless for lying down on, he rested himself on the bed. He wanted silence, so that he could think. But as soon as he sat down, he could hear the voices come back.
You trust people too easily…
…
They'll eventually betray you again…just like before…
Shut up…
You'll never learn…will you?
Shut up.
Do you want to experience it again? The feeling of betrayal…
Shut. Up.
What is it that you want? The feeing of love you once felt? You and I know that it was all fake…
Be quiet…Shut up.
Just like what Yashamaru did…
"I SAID SHUT UP!" he jumped from his seat, panting heavily due to the fight he just had with himself.
Why won't it leave me alone…? Why won't it go away?
He began to take slow deep breaths now.
We'll never go away…Ever…The voices replied back. It was unnerving, even for him.
There was a knock on the door. Then a feminine voice…It was Temari…
"Gaara, are you ok?" it was slightly muffled but could still be heard.
"…I'm fine…" his reply was soft, it made Temari worry about him more.
"Are you sure? Do you want to talk about it?" she sounded unsure but she spoke before she had time to think.
"I'm sure…" he sat back on his bed, holding onto his head. He left like crying again but decided to hold it back.
"Ok then…Dinner's ready." She spoke once again before leaving. He could hear the sounds of her steps going away, proceeding down the stairs until he could hear it no more.
Silence…
Until he heard a crash coming from the kitchen. He bolted out his bedroom door and ran down the stairs, jumping down five steps and rushed to the kitchen.
"What happened?" he was panting hard. He saw Temari bending over to pick up some broken glass and Kankurou just sitting on the chair.
"Uh…I accidentally dropped the plate." Temari explained herself. Kankurou never moved from his seat but stared at Gaara with a raised eye brow.
"I can…help clean up…if you want…" looking down at the broken pieces of glass. Both Temari and Kankurou were shocked to hear Gaara offer a hand.
"No, I'll be ok." She brushed the shards of glass into a dust pan and proceeded out the door.
"I'll just throw these out ok?" she walked out of the kitchen and Gaara progressed to the seat opposite Kankurou.
Ah crap! Don't kill me! The hooded boy shouted in his mind.
"Do you…hate me?" Gaara didn't look at Kankurou, but he could feel that he's confused and shocked by the sudden question.
"Wha?" Kankurou blinked stupidly at him.
"…It's nothing…Forget it…" he got up and was about to walk out when…
"No…" Gaara stopped dead in his tracks, waiting for him to continue.
"I don't hate you…It's just that…you scare me sometimes…no offence…" Kankurou looked over to his little brother who was now leaning onto the door frame.
"None taken…I'll try not to be too scary…" he walked past Temari who just came back from dumping the glass into the bin and out the front door.
"What did you do?" after seeing Gaara in such a state, she turned on Kankurou.
"I…didn't do anything…" he held up his hands in defense. Temari came closer to him, holding onto her kunai.
Oh crap…Kankurou thought to himself.
(A/N: I like the fact that Kankurou gets bullied by Temari! It adds so much humor! But it would have been better if she had her fan with her…Waahahahaha!)
