We walked through the night and into the morning. The one thing I started to notice was a path that had been set beforehand. As we kept on walking we came into a clearing. Just ready to leave the camp was none other then Gaara and Keiko.
"Keiko Hatake, you stop right there!" She froze at the sound of my voice, and then slowly turned around to look at me. Gaara looked twice as shocked, but I wasn't looking for him.
"H-How?" She stammered, a look of confusion clouding her face.
"Don't ask questions, and get over here right now!" I shouted, feeling the rage of the last night swelling up in me again. Keiko glanced over at Gaara, who looked just as confused. He motioned for her to go, which surprised me. As she started to walk towards us, Gaara grabbed her arms and pulled her as fast as he could through the woods, leaving all of his things behind.
(switched to Keiko's POV)
"Whoa! Gaara!" I shouted as he pulled me along.
"There is no way you're going back!" He shouted back, pulling me faster and harder.
The pain in my arm grew the harder he tugged. Out of nowhere Mizuki pulled Gaara to the ground, making him hit his head. I gasped, my eyes widening in horror. Once she was sure Gaara was momentarily disabled, she glared at me.
"KEIKO HATAKE, HOW COULD YOU! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU'VE PUT US THROUGH! AND YOU LIED TO ME! HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME, YOUR ONLY SISTER! I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW STUPID YOU ARE! Running away with this imbocile."
I wanted to slap her, but I stood my ground. Iruka and Kakashi came through the bushes, out of breath. I looked over at Gaara who was just starting to sit up, holding his head. I took a step toward him but Kakashi grabbed me and pulled me back.
"Come on, we're going home."
The tears swelled up in my eyes, and I seriously felt like crying. I wiped my eyes before anyone could tell that I was about to bawl my eyes out. Kakashi wouldn't let go of me for a second, and if he had to let go, then Iruka would take charge. I felt like a prisoner, or a captured animal. It was like this the whole way home.
