Keep It Silent

Chapter 3

Five more years passed. Same old things happened. I was left alone. Forgotten. Rejected. I had found out that Sasuke made a really good friend. He became my best friend, to be precise. Naruto actually got along really well, even if Sasuke was hanging around so much. I sensed trouble would near. It always did... Fate screws us all over every single time... I'm sure I have told you of my story about Sabaku no Gaara... My true love. Months went by, I had turned 15, and I was actually happy. I had stopped cutting all because of him. I had recently lost my virginity to him. It was embarassing, but he already promised his life to me. He asked my hand in marriage, for Hokage's sake! Well, I guess now all there is left to do is tell you the rest of my miserable life story...

(( Yes... Read Kiss of Death first (if you haven't) and then read Love In Sand, Beautiful Leaf. (If you haven't.) Sorry. I suck. :( ))

Months passed. The second time Anika and Gaara had, well, intercourse, Anika became pregnant. 9 months later, she had a beautiful baby boy named Ryuu. Anika and Gaara became happily married 4 months after Ryuu was born. Shikamaru had become suicidal due to family reasons. He became sick with pnuemonia and tried ot kill himself with it. It was winter when he went to the forest to freeze himself to death. Anika and Gaara had followed. That's when things went wrong, and something was discovered...

"No! Get out of my head!" Anika screeched suddenly, holding her head in pain as tears poured from her eyes.

"Anika...?!" Gaara questioned, looking at his wife in fear and worry.

'Foolish, Anika. I knew you'd stoop low soon enough...' A voice spoke in Anika's mind. "SHUT UP!!! SHAINE, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!"

"Shaine?! Anika!! He's dead!! Stop imagining things!!" Gaara urged, noticing her eyes were growing black and she was now on her knees gripping her head in pure pain. The scene ended as soon as it started. Anika was left shaking in fear on the ground like a puppy that had just been kicked.

"Someone else's chakra hurt her internally. She'll be fine, however." Tsunade said, smiling at Gaara. The Shukaku Jinchurikki sighed and looked at his half awake lover. Tsunade looked at Anika. "I checked the hospital records. There was no record about your brother's death. I'm sure he's alive still..." The woman said to her.

"What? No. I killed him when I was younger..." Anika said, disbelief in her eyes. Pakkun perked up his ears.

"Anika? Do you have something of Shaine's? I might be able to catch a scent of him somewhere..." The dog said with a grin.

Anika thought for a moment before unclipping the choker and holding it out to Pakkun's nose. The dog sniffed it for a moment before heading outside for a scent. After a few minutes, Pakkun, Gaara, and Anika were jumping to where Pakkun had picked up a scent. A large hole came to view and they stopped. A voice called from it.

"Help me!!! Someone help!!!"

"Shaine!?!" Anika called back.

"Who the hell are you?! Whatever, I don't care, JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!"

Anika grabbed a sturdy vine and dipped it into the hole. The boy grabbed it and was soon pulled up with the help of Gaara. The silver-haired, red-eyed boy looked at the two black-clothed teenagers.

"So who are you?" He asked.

"Kougae Anika. Well, Sabaku, now..." Anika said, hope in her eyes.

"Kougae...? Anika...?" The boy asked, looking at Anika.

"Shaine...?"
