The next day came rather slowly especially for some one who really doesn't sleep. Night time really felt like it lasted forever. The Hot rays of the burning sun, shined down on the village. The sun's hot rays soaking into the sand like a sponge burning up the ground.

Luckily my ice shield keep me good and protected from the heat even my feet where nice and cool. As I walked through the streets of the village at a seemingly happy pace. Easily avoiding bumping into the many people as they buzzed by, a small blue ball in my hands. I figured if Gaara was there at the playground and, if he wanted to, we could play with the ball.

Reaching the playground I stopped short when I spot a couple of boys already there playing with a deep red ball.

However, once their eyes spot me standing there, they all stop playing. Whatever game they had been playing, I hadn't been paying too much attention. Turning to walk towards the swing I hug the my ball close to my chest.

"It's that girl" one of their small voices reaches my ears.

Making me come to a stop my head turning to glance back at them curious of what they were say.

"She was the one who talked to that monster yesterday," another one with blonde hair blunts out.

I felt my hands go into small fist at my side the ball having failed from my arms. I could only take a guess at who they were talking about and it seemed to make the anger inside me rise I always had a small fuse mostly over my family and now Gaara since he was my first friend.

"He's going to end up killing her" the last kid mumbles while kicking at some dirt at his feet causing a small dust cloud to rise up around him. His brown hair swaying a little in the small breeze that blew by.

I send them each warning glares, almost daring them to keep talking.

"He's not a monster" I growl suddenly. Not able to hold my tongue any longer, I notice each of them jump slightly, at my outbursts I guess they expected me to just stand there quietly but I was unable to stay quiet. "Instead of judging him, why not take a chance to get to know him" I suggest

getting a glare from the taller boy out of the tree he easily towered over me well they all did I could guess they maybe a few years older than me, I easily shake off the boy's glare, not one bit bothered by him. Crossing his arms over his chest a cocky smile coming to his face. Which for some reason made my blood boil?

"Why defend him, he's just going to end up killing you," he says smugly

"that's fine with me" I mutter lowly my yellow eyes hooding 'I would be with my family then' I think internally,

I wasn't about to say anything about my family out loud, for now, I was just trying to push past the pain of them being gone. "at least I'm giving him a chance, unlike you judgmental jerks" I spit letting the last words leave my lips.

I turn to walk away from them not feeling the need to continue to argue with these boys. It didn't seem like anything I was saying would change their minds. If the cold glares on their faces where anything to go by

"Hey! Where are you going!" I heard one of the boys yell at me his footsteps echoes a bit in my ears.

I roll my eyes in announce just as the boy manages to get in front of me the other two at his sides smug looks on their faces.

"get out of my way" I warn lowly sending them each warning glares.

My body extensively going into a fighting stance. I honestly didn't feel like fighting I was still tired from yesterday; however, I was stubborn and would not back down from a fight easily. They surely weren't dumb enough to fight me, right? Clinching his fist, the boy rears back on his left leg. Seriously? sending his arm flying towards me his fist coming inches of hitting me in the face. However, just before his fist could hit my face an ice wall shoots up in front of me easily blocking me from the boy's week punch. Usually, my ice shield was invisible it could stay around my body without being noticed for a while.

However, in the means of being attacked, I was able to use my chakra to harden the ice and, somehow let it become visible to others to see. The ice shield would protect me from mostly everything that was meant to harm me.

"What the...?" The boy questions in shock, his dark eyes widen as they look back at my ice shield

"you cannot honestly believe your week punch could touch me" I growl menacingly my voice dripping with Bits of venom.

I send each of them in turn dark glares. I was not in the mood for all this. And would not hesitate to kill them if they didn't leave me alone my ice shield had sort of vanished for now. I could feel it easily going back to being around my body protecting me once more from the desert's hot sun rays.

"You're a freak" the dark-haired boy shouts loudly him and the other two boys' sort of backing away from me their words not bothering me one bit

"no wonder you want to be friends with that monster" I shrug my shoulders at his words

"Stay out of my way and I won't kill you" I simply tell them bending down I pick up my blue ball.

Getting back to my full height I walk towards the boys causing them to back up slightly sweet beads roll down the side of their heads, I easily push passed them.

All three boys fall over on the ground, in small thuds, their heads tilting back up towards me. I Send each of them one last warning glare as I continue to walk onwards.

I would have killed them in a heart beat if I had felt like it. I just didn't feel up to it at the moment. Perhaps if I actually sleep a little last night, I would have been more than happy to kill them. I was in a new village sleep was the last thing on my mind. I had to make sure this village wasn't going to attack me. Before getting too comfortable with it. And plus Kavik wouldn't let me sleep with out trying to take over my body.

Sitting on the ground, I push the ball back and forth between my legs. Easily keeping the small object from wandering away.

A small breeze blew by blowing my dark brown hair up into my face, beside me in the single swing, sat Gaara his teal eyes. Watching the few kids playing Ball not too far from where we set. He seemed quite interested in their game. Like he really wanted to go play with them. But he seemed to think twice about it and just keep swinging his feet barely touching the ground as the swing went back and forth the old chains making small old squeaks as it went. Sending him a look from my lashes I let out a small breath.

"Once they leave, we can play ball next if you like," I tell him gently.

His head tilts down towards me. A noticeable troubled look comes to his face causing me to tilt my head to the side questionably both my eyes now watching him.

"Sheria?" He says my name in a quite question. I could hear the small bit of worry in his voice

"Yes?" I ask gently. Gaara turns his head away his eyes going back to the kids playing ball.

"Why me? Why do you want to be friends with me?" He questions

I narrow my eyes at his question stopping the ball that I was still pushing back and forth in my hands

"I don't like seeing others alone" I answer in a low voice.

A Saddened sigh comes from my lips. This was true aside from my family and siblings the rest of my clan avoided me due to kavik the demon being placed inside me. I never completely understood why and even now it was unclear why they hated me even kids who were my age hated me.

"It bugs me to see people treat you so wrong" I mumble lowly my brows knitting together in deep thought.

Gaara turns his head to look down at me.

"You don't see me as a monster?" He asked carefully he waits a couple of seconds before finishing his words "like the others?"

I send a look towards the other kids still playing ball. A cold stare coming over my eyes once I spotting the three boys from earlier. A small smirk coming to my lips at the sudden fear that came over them when they noticed me staring at them. I flash a small tooth-filled grin towards them, before turning my head away, to look back down at my ball.

"No, I don't see you as a monster" I answer finally.

'if I did, I would be calling myself a monster to' I internally think to myself. I was highly debating on telling him about kavik. Would he see me differently then? Casting my right eye slightly back up to him

"you're a good friend" I ensure him in a tightly cheerful voice "just these villagers are too blind to see how amazing you are"

Gaara's eyes seem to widen slightly at my words, bits of surprise coming over his face, I could only guess that maybe he wasn't used to hearing kind words from someone before? We both fell into silence after that, neither of us knew on what to say next, I guess? sudden a small smile spreads across Gaara's face. For some reason, his smile seemed to make a smile come over my lips as well. It was weird. How was making him feel better made me feel happy too? Or at least I hope I made him feel better.

A small smirk coming to my lips at the sudden fear that radiates from them, especially when they noticed me staring at them. I flash a small tooth-filled grin at them. Sharp teeth bared dangerously, before turning my head away, to look back down at my ball.

"No, I don't see you as a monster" I answer finally.
