Walking into a narrow dark alleyway the moonlight above barely shined through the small cracks of the many tall buildings that surround the alley, it was kind of hard to see if I had to be honest, Turning around I face my new friend. With some uncertainty coming to my face, before my siblings had gone back to the village to help my clan, they made me promise not to tell a soul about Kavik. Due to the fact I could be killed if someone found out about the demon. However, I believed heavily that I could trust Gaara.
". You see..." I begin trailing off from my sentence. A nervous breath coming from my lips, how should I start this conversation?
I knew he had the shikoku sealed inside him, however, I've never told a soul outside my clan about Kavik and, I was honestly unsure how to explain him. To another person. Taking in another breath, I decide to say it. What more could happen right?
"I have something sealed inside me to" I murmur in a low voice.
"Really?" Gaara asked in a surprised hushed tone his teal eyes gaze to the ground. I was unable to tell if he was surprised by the information or mad?
"I call him Kavik" I continue carefully the demon inside me didn't really have a name. So, I decided to name him myself, to make him less scary, I think? "I remember when Kavik was placed inside me, I was pushed away, called many hurtful names, and just completely avoided. That's why I'm able to understand even a little of what you're going through, because I was there dealing with it to, it bothers me to see people treat you so badly" at least my family excepted me. For having something inside me
Biting my lower lip nervously I fall into silence, unsure of what to say next. I wanted to know what he was going to say, I guess?
"You really have something inside you too?" Gaara asked Rhetorically, getting a small lop-sided grin, my hand scratching the back of my head
"Yea..." I confirm with a small nod of my head "just like you"
"How do you know about the demon inside me?" Gaara questions with a small tilt of his head.
"Kavik was the one who was able to scents it from the very beginning and he eventually told me" I explain simply I wasn't sure about telling him about the shikoku draining kavik's chakra, yet it didn't seem that important. "I wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't for him"
"Why didn't you tell me this before?" He asked in a hurtful voice his teal eyes peeking over at me. "About the demon inside you?"
"I wanted to make sure I could trust you" I tell him in a low honest voice, one of my feet barely moving back and forth.
I always had a hard time with trusting others, I guess a lot of it having to do with being stuck in one place, and not having much opportunity to communicate with many people, Gaara turns to head out of the dark alley with me walking quietly behind him.
A sliver of silver cuts into my line of sight causing me to stop walking my yellow eyes trailing the small object as it flies forwards. Aiming straight for the back of Gaara he hadn't seemed to notice the kunai yet. I wasn't sure what happen, my body seemed to move without warning hurrying to try and catch the flying weapon.
With its high speed, me catching it would probably be impossible. Gaara turns his head slightly back towards me possible having heard the loud sound of my shoes echoing on the pavement. His teal eyes seem to widen at the silver weapon flying towards him. The small outlines of white paper was barely visible.
"Gaara move!" I cry leaping forwards throwing my body between the oncoming kunai and my friend.
Somehow having forgotten about him being able to use sand as a defense. And I could get my ice shield to activate. However, I was sort of giving my chakra a break I'd been using my ice shield a lot since I been here. I was a bit tired of holding it up. A lame time to give my chakra a break. But it wasn't like I was expected someone to attack my friend either.
A sharp pain cuts into my right shoulder causing me to hiss in pain, the hard impact of the kunai hitting me makes me stumble backwards. Falling over onto the ground. A hot sticky substance slowly flows down my shoulder blade.
"Sh...eria?" Gaara stutters in a low shocked voice "w...hy...di...d
...you...?"
"I'm not sure" I interrupt lowly. Looking down at my injured shoulder, blood already covering the wound.
I've never been the one to try and give my life up for someone, I was only six so I guess it wouldn't have crossed my mind, My siblings where always the ones to rush out to save the villagers if they could of course. But I didn't want Gaara to be hurt, though I doubt the kunai could hurt him, as I said I forgot about his sand protecting him. My actions where quick and, I didn't have time to think about them.
I was a bit stunned that the paper bomb that was wrapped tightly around the hilt of the silver weapon hadn't gone off.
Breathing in sharply I grab the hilt of the kunai tightly.
"Don't pull it out" Gaara hissed shocking me slightly, I never heard him get mad before, at least not at me. My head turns to look up at him, blinking surprisingly.
"Ok...ay..." I grumble in agreement, pulling my hand away from the weapon and, putting it back down at my side.
Sending a quick icy glare up to a tall dark hairee man standing on the top of a nearby building. Gaara, grits his teeth angrily, before his head turns back down to me. A concern look quickly coming over his pale face.
"Let's go to the hospital" he suggests. Taking my uninjured arm and, placing it around his neck. Easily pulling me back to my feet.
"My uncle will heal you" he ensures.
Not wanting to argue I nod my head allowing him to help me walk. Feeling quality somehow.
