Chapter 2 – The Truth Behind Everything
"There will be allways someone, who cares about you, and loves you."

Gaara sitted alone in one high building's banister. It was night. He watched how the lights turned off one by one, from each home. He didn't like to be alone, but sometimes, it was just good, because he wanted to think things out. And now was a time for it again. But he would not mind, if Naruto had appeared. But right now he wasn't there, but somewhere in the village. Hiding.

Gaara watched his hands. One kid was again runned away when Gaara was just trying to play with him. It make him feel bad, again. It made him frustrated. What he had to do, that everyone would accept him as what he was? What people were scared about him..

Gaara was so into his thoughs, that he didn't heart steps few metres behind him. Kunais flew through the air, towards Gaara's back.

Boy heard a noice from his back. He saw his sand, which was protecting him from kunais which just flew towars him. What it was? An attack to him, only reason for it to kill him? Not again.. He saw mysterious person, who throwed again kunais towards him. Gaara landed from banister, and sand came to protect him again. It showed just his angry eyes. Gaara moved his hand, and sand moved from the ground, capturing person who was trying to kill him. Sand moved up from the ground. Gaara watched angry look on his face, and strangled his hand into fist.

"Sabaku Kyu!"

Sand strangled a person inside it. Some blood went through the sand. Gaara let go, and body felt from the air back to ground. Gaara looked to the body. He couldn't tell, who it was. He took few slow steps, and took the cloth of the body's face. He stepped right away back. His face look very shocked.

"Y.. Yashamaru?"
He said quietly. What had he done? He had killed one of those two, who cared about him the most.

"What have I done? What have I done?"

He whispered, and keeped his hands on his head. His head hurts.

"G-Gaara-sama.."
He heard a little voice. Gaara went closer to the Yashamaru's body. He was alive.

"You.. You are still alive! But.. Yashamaru.. Why did you do it..?"

Yashamaru didn't answer at once.

"Why.. Why? I thought that.. You were.."

"It was Kazekage's order to me.. To kill you."

Yashamaru whispered. Father?

"But, but.."
Gaara started to cry. He tried to smile freshly.

"But.. Then you did do this unwillingly, because my father ordered to you.."

Yashamaru's emotions didn't change.

"No, that's not true. I could refuse from the mission if I would wanted."

What? Gaara couldn't beliebe what he was hearing.

"I hated you.. Because you took a life from my beloved sister.."
Mother..

"Nobody will never love you.. Because you're a monster.. Disaster of our village.."

"But.. Why.. Why did you lied to me all this time... Why.. WHY!?"

Gaara screamed. Yashamaru sighed, and opened his jacket. His body was full-of exploding notes.

"Die now, please.. Then everything will be over.."

Big bang voice went through the village. And a little blonde boy heard it too. What was it? He had to go and check it out.

Gaara screamed. He felt huge pain on his chest. Where his heart was. He felt anger, frustration, sorrow, displeasure, everything. And everything what he felt on that moment, hurted. He screamed, until that huge pain was gone. He fellon the ground, and feeled strange feeling on his left forehead. Right now, he was feeling, that his life was a huge disaster. Was it really true, that nobody will ever love him? Everything was just a big lie? Even..

"Gaara!"

.. Naruto... Blonde boy ran to Gaara.

"Hey, buddy, are you okay? I heard you scream.. A lot."

Gaara glared to the blonde. His eyes looked strange at that moment.

"Naruto.. Do you really care about me?"

"What.. Of course I do."

"Do you really love me?"
"Of course I do, I swear I do. Why are you asking these things?"

They sitted, and Gaara told everything what Yashamaru was said, and what he had done. Now Naruto understood. He put his hand on Gaaras hand, and pressed.

"Gaara.. There's one thing you should know.."
Gaara listened, and dried his tears.

"What ever Yashamaru said, it would not be true. Because.."
Naruto smiled.

"There will be allways someone, who cares about you, and loves you."
"And who's that?"
Gaara asked quietly. Naruto grinned.

"Me, of course. I will not leave you, no matter what. It's a promise."
