Chapter 3

She opened her eyes slowly and rubbed them. She tried to account for last night's events but couldn't. She

was on her way home when a man saved her from something. Wait! Haruka sat up and saw the sleeping

Kazekage sleeping on the other side of the bed, over the covers. She gulped, is that really Gaara? Wow I

haven't seen him in awhile. He grew up nicely.

She got out from under the cover and gently shook his shoulder. Everything happened so quickly but all of

a sudden she realized Gaara was on top of her with her wrists pinned down. His ninja instints kicked in. He

was breathing down on her face.

"Ouch, that's hurts." Gaara didn't seem to be himself, his eyes were red and he tightened his grip.

"Gaara?" Tears leaked out of her eyes from his grip. A lonely tear dropped on the bed and Gaara's eyes

turned back to jade. He immedatly loosened his grip and got off of her.

"...sorry...," he mumbled Cara just sat up rubbing her wrists. He had really sqeezed hard. There were now

deep red marks with a small cut on the left wrist.

Great, I'm bleeding. Gaara must have smelt the blood because he perked up and asked her firmly.

"Give me your left wrist."

"I-I'm fine, Kazekage."

"I do not repeat myself."

"It's nothing, just a small cut." He shot her an annoyed look and she weakly nodded.

"Wait." He left the room and came back with a cloth. After sitting down next to her he took her wrist and

cleaned out the cut.

"Thank you Kazekage, for everything. Exspecialy resucing me."

"It was nothing, girl. I was just doing my job."

"Oh, thank you anyway" Her wrist was still rested in his hand, and she pulled it back with her face

flustered.

"Why are you in Suna?"

"What do you mean? I've been here in Suna."

"I mean aren't you a ninja?" Her face went blank and her muscles tightened.

"No, she said softly, I'm not."

"But you went to school for it, you were even at the chunin exams."

"I quit."

"Hn?" There was a silence before Gaara finally asked why.

Why? she thought. Should she answer him? She hadn't told anyone about why she really quit.

"My parents..."

"Oh.?" He didn't seemed to be interested anymore, so she continued,

"No...my parents they..."

She turned the corner and knelt down by the wall. Gaara came out to see her sobbing agaist the wall with a

fist by her chest he came out and saw her slumped by the wall.

Ugh, I've already been nice and done my job! Why is she still here?

She looked up to him and surprising the color was drawn out of her azure blue eyes.

"They're dead! They're dead Gaara!" Her cheeks were streaked with tears and she slowly stood up.

"Y-You remember that fire in my house. He nodded. Well my parents were badly burned. They survived

until I was about 14 then they passed away. I didn't know what to do with myself so I quit school and

helped bring in money for the house."

Gaara just stood there and blinked.

"You know the worst part?"

"Hn?"

"I killed them. I killed them because I started that fire! I forgot to turn the stove off. I KILLED THEM

GAARA." She broke down completely and buried her head in his chest letting her tears pour out.

Confused Gaara did nothing. He remember from his childhood that parents hugged their childen. He

slowly wrapped his arms around the crying girl. He could at least try to comfort her.
