First Author's Note: Inspirational TWIST to episode: "Hospital Besieged: The Evil Hand Revealed" - Season 2 LOVE THIS EPSIODE TITLE!
Second Author's Note: As always a slow start. Bare with me. Third Author's Note is at TBC. . .
Eerie empty hospital hallways, the only true sound the ticking of the wall clock.
"What the. . . where is everybody?"
The pinkette states confused. Her blue ninja sandals stop at the unattended reception desk. A sign resting there grabs her attention.
"Out to lunch? Oh well."
She gently lays her arms on the desk, unaware there's a ominous shadow moving closer from behind her
'Why does this girl plague me?! My thoughts aren't my own since first seeing her. She's weak, she's no kunoichi. Bravery when demanding my identification. Still I can't get her out my head! Cutting her long hair makes her prettier.'
Pupil-less sea-foam green eyes stare at her backside remembering back to the Forest of Death. . .
FLASHBACK. . .
Murdering those rain ninja as he had said "it's still not enough." He left Temari and Kankuro, to find more blood to spill. Jumping speedily through the trees unseen, he spots a head of gorgeous cherry blossom pink hair hiding in hallow tree.
Clenching his head with his right hand, as that loud mouth blond and Sasuke Uchiha lay unconscious with her on guard.
'She's falling asleep, pathetic.'
He thinks while his bloodlust grows, about to approach them when the pinkette throws a kunai at a squirrel. Looking closer at the smaller creature it has a paper bomb on its back.
'She's more skilled then she appears to be.'
He looks around ahead of him, feeling chakra coming close. Seeing the 3 Sound ninja from the first exam. A dark grin takes hold, it grows bigger when the 3 start taunting the pinkette.
'No one will kill that girl but me!'
They don't call him, Gaara of the Desert for nothing. What's his is that his.
. . .END OF FLASHBACK
Those 3 Sound idiots were easily killed. It wasn't any fun at all. Yet turning to find that pinkette staring at him in gratitude (tho she was still scared) shocked him more then anything.
She sighs dejectedly turning around, with a flower in her small hands. Only to gasp jumping back as Gaara stares intensely at her. Trying for a glare at him, thinking of Lee here, because of the sand wielding boy before her. He blinks his black rimmed eyes at her, unable to look away from him. She glares harder as if she knows he's amused with her. Even thankful he saved her and the boys, still not understanding why he did. Sakura Haruno shows no fear in front of him. Knowing how terrifying he is in battle, it's not surprising he's smug.
Clearing her throat, "Excuse me, I'm here for Lee." She states hoping that gets him to back off.
Gaara lets her pass him, yet walks beside her. She turns to her right confusion written in her eyes.
"I am as well. To kill him."
He exclaims as easily as talking about the weather. She drops the flower wrapped in pink paper to the tile floor. Stopping mid-step again backing away from him. His sand quickly traps her ankles in place. Alarm in emerald green eyes, holds Gaara's attention greatly.
"You little cherry blossom captivate me."
Gaara moves closer to her. Readying her right hook, his sand shield is up faster. Blocking her feeble punch. The sand shield morphs grabing her right wrist, holding in her panic, their green eyes lock again.
Yet she still tries to free her right wrist. He smirks darkly down at her attempts. Sand wraps around her left wrist, pulls at them to gently place her hands in his own.
He examines the tiny fingers of this weak kunoichi. Shocked she has amazing chakra control but doesn't harness it fully. Just holding her hands, she sighs as she tries to pull them back.
"Look, Gaara I don't want to fight with you."
She tries to make her voice soft. Slightly glancing down, to find the sand around her ankles hasn't moved an inch.
"Your weak power holds a deeper danger. You care for others, that are nothing but flesh and blood to be killed. They don't care nor see the pain in your eyes."
Sakura gasps as he allows her hands free. Yet subconsciously she touches his love scar. He releases a gasp, sea-foam green eyes widen at this feeling.
At foot steps approaching the hall. Sakura can do nothing but gasp as sand and Gaara's arms wrap around her. Feeling herself being moved, opening her eyes to find their in the training field.
She pushes away from him. Staring scared quickly scanning their surroundings. She glares darkly at him.
"Are you going to kill me?"
She practically growls out the question. He evilly smirks staring her in the eye. Walking towards her, even as she goes into a kick combo. His sand shield grabs at her incoming left leg.
"No, I want you."
His sand pulls her closer to his body, sand surrounds them once again. Sakura screams once she realizes she's not in the Leaf Village anymore. Still he holds her, forced to look him in the eye.
"Your village, everyone in it will die. I don't want you dead. . . yet."
With that he shoves her off him, as his sand surrounds him. Reaching out towards him, her right hand touches but empty air and sand.
TO BE CONTINUED. . .
Third Author's Note: Truly miss an evil Gaara. A wonderful mighty 5th Kazekage he is indeed, still sadly twisted was bloody beautiful and very fun.
