Winching slightly, I try moving away from the glowing green hands hovering over my injured shoulder. The kunai had already been pulled out from my shoulder the object lying harmlessly on the side table beside the hospital bed, I had been placed on.
The kunai being pulled out had caused more blood to spill out of my shoulder, soaking the shoulder sleeve of the white shirt I was wearing. A huge red stain easily becoming visible. Yashimaru moves his hands over the wound, his face twisted up in consideration as he heals it up.
The tingles of my flesh pulling back together really felt weird. It always felt weird to me to be healed by chakra. Once the blonde man was done, he grabbed a bandage and, begins to wrap it tightly around my shoulder.
"Thank you" I muse lowly a tiny smile comes over the man's face
"No problem," he says down at me, once he was able to stand up.
He stretches his arms out over his head a small yawn coming from his lips, despite him not really looking all that tired. It didn't even seem like him healing me affected him at all. Medical ninjas were really amazing to me.
"You may leave if you like" he informs me gently "Your wound wasn't too bad, the kunai only seem to have pierced your shoulder but didn't hit any vital organs"
Jumping off the bed, glad to be able to leave the hospital. Hospitals were not my favorite places to be at.
Hurrying to the already opened door, I rush out into the empty hallway, it was possible around twelve am at night so of course. The place was empty except for the occasional nurses that ran in and out of a couple of rooms checking on patients who had been unable to leave.
My footfalls became sort of taunting, almost like I was teasing the trapped patients in the rooms as I passed by them. Letting them know I was able to leave this place and they weren't.
Hey, I never said I was a nice person I always liked teasing others if given the chance. A dim light cuts into my line of sight, however, causing me to stop my teasing walk my head tilting to the side. As I grew closer to the room where the light seemed to be coming from.
I keep my body leaned up against the wall slowing down my breathing. I didn't know if anyone was in the room and, if someone was I didn't want them to know I was there, I peek my head into the large room, it almost looked like a lounge room if I had to say so myself a small green couch covered one side of the room, a small fridge and sink sat behind it, a couple of nicely green planets sat in the corners of the room almost towering over me, in the middle of the room by a window set a tall table.
Gaara, stood in front of it his head tilting down to look at something sitting on top of the table, from where I was I couldn't quite see what it was. Maybe I should leave him alone? I rethought that when I saw something sharp and pointy in Gaara's right hand the small knife being held almost in a vise-like grip, I tenderly step into the room.
"It's not worth it" I say in a small hushed voice as I noticed him raise the knife up and just about stabs it into his arm, however, sand quickly rushes out blocking the sharp object easily.
Gaara jumps slightly at my voice his head turning to look over at me, Making my way over to him. I look down at a small picture sitting on the table, the women in the picture sort of reminding me of yashimaru. Her beautiful hair fell down to her shoulders a motherly smile graced her lips.
"That was my mother," Gaara says in a sad voice answering the question I wasn't wanting to ask him. "She died whent I was born"
A sympathetic look comes to my face my head turning to face him.
"I'm sorry to hear that Gaara," I say my voice holding the sympathetic feelings, that were inside me.
"She's very pretty" I put in lowly.
My yellow eyes focus on the knife still in his hand. Wondering what he was trying to do with it. Why did he try to stab himself with it? I was glad the sand interfered before he could hurt himself.
"The sand always protects me" he interrupts before I could ask him. "No matter what I do"
Staying quiet I listen to him talk it seemed to be the best option for now. His teal eyes peek over at my bandaged shoulder. His eyes narrowing just a little
"Did your wound hurt?" He asked unsurely his eyes moving away again
"Yea, a little" I admit with a small shack of, my head.
"It's ok though, it's healed now, the pain is gone" I insure him not wanting him to worry about me. If he was worried.
"You're not mad at me, right?" He questions "for being hurt"
Shacking my head back and forth I gently place a hand on his shoulder. Causing him to jump slightly at my sudden touch. His head turning slightly to glance over at me my yellow eyes staring right into his teal ones, wanting him to know more than anything that my words were true. I wasn't trying to hurt him. I was his friend. He could trust me, just like I trusted him.
"I will never get mad at you" I proclaim honestly with a gentle smile coming to my lips. "And me getting hurt wasn't your fault, you did nothing wrong, I was just reckless is all"
Moving my hands from his shoulders to the knife in his grasp, I easily pull it away from him and, lay it down on the table.
"I know the sand protects you" I start slowly my eyes hooding slightly as I spoke. "But it bothers me to see you try to hurt yourself"
"Sorry," Gaara mutters in a low voice his eyes not even glancing at me. I give him another gentle smile
"Just please don't do that again?" I suggest kindly trying not to sound to demanding. "You do have people who care for you, you know"
Perking his head up slightly at my words, Gaara turns to the picture on the table.
"Sheria? What happened to your family?" He asked very carefully not wanting to get me upset, I guess.
I breathe in a heavy breath, before exhaling out of my mouth.
"My family was killed" I answer him lowly, A small unseen tear streaming down my cheek, as memories of my family flash into my head. "I'm really not wanting to talk about it right now though... Sorry."
Gaara barely nods his head in understanding easily dropping the question.
"Sorry" he murmurs an apologetic look in his eyes. "I was just wondered"
"It's ok, you didn't know," I reply. My hand waving dismissively in the air. "You didn't know"
Making my way to the small hotel room I had been staying in for the past couple of days. Using my chakra, I easily reach my hand into a thickly covered ice cube.
My hand brushing over the key to which I pull it out holding the metal object in my hand. I didn't see the need to bring the key with me due to possibly losing it so instead, I used my ice chakra to freeze up a block of ice beside the door and placed the key inside unless someone had my Kekkei Genkai.
There was no way they could get to it. Putting the key into the keyhole and twisted the key hearing a small click, turning the knob. I then swing the door open and, walk inside. Slipping my shoes off by the door.
Before walking fully into the room, it wasn't much really a small bed sat close to the wall a small navy black nightstand stood beside the bed, there really wasn't much of a kitchen the room was quite small.
A door to my left lead into a small bathroom. Walking over the bed I plop down on top of the covers allowing my head to rest comfortably on top of the nicely cool pillow. what I wouldn't give to sleep just a little.
I wasn't able to sleep due to Kavik threating to take over my body all the time, so to keep the demon in check I decided to stay up. It was hard being young, I had to sometimes fight off the oncoming sleep. But it was also lonely at night there was no one for me to talk to, while people slept I was forced to stay awake rolling over on my side I gaze out the only window in the room a low sigh coming from my lips.
'Just sleep' a steep voice sounds in my head
'I'm not letting you have my body' I snap back watching the demon before me move his head his golden eyes gazing back at me.
'Due to that shikoku I don't even have enough chakra to take over your body" he proclaims narrowing my eyes at him, trying to figure out if he was trying to trick me into trusting him. If I slept the cage keeping him inside me could weaken he could easily take control over me, even though he was created from the tailed beast chakra if he was extracted from me somehow, I have no doubt that it would kill me. Like any other Jinchuuriki.
'Am ijust supposed to trust you?" I growl defensively
Kavik rolls his eyes, annoyance coming quickly over his face.
'don't trust me' he growls lowly his huge teeth barely flashing through the bares of his cage the huge demon falls silent his eyes closing slightly.
I guess he didn't feel like arguing he must be telling the truth the shikoku was really draining him of his chakra. I felt a little sorry for the demon, but what more could I do for him? I wasn't about to leave Gaara.
Maybe if I let him have some of my chakra, he wouldn't be in such a bad mood, however, if he wanted to Kavik could drain my chakra completely and, eventually kill me and, even escape.
Shaking that idea from my head, despite rather or not I trusted Kavik or not, I could not deny me being tired. Closing my eyes tight I breathe out a peaceful breath.
