Chapter 15

Dreams, Flashbacks And A Surprise.

It was something she swore she could have seen before. Something like a demon staring her in the face, hands wrapped around her neck in a tight grip, endlessly trying to end her own life. Her fingers brushing at the person in front of her, trying to kick him off. It was futile. Nothing was working, and nothing was helping to make him stop. Her left side was bleeding to a point where it actually pooled around her.

"G-Gaara…"

She could see his face now that he moved it into the light of the moon. His eyes were different, filled with bloodlust. She wanted him to stop, and he wasn't listening. Her cries wasn't getting into his head. What was it she had exactly done to cause him to do this?

-Flashback -

They were talking, then all the sudden he stopped and clutched at his heart and head. She had tried to comfort him and ask him what was wrong, but he turned around with such speed that it had actually pushed her back into a building nearby, nearly cracking the side of where she had hit.

He came at her with a kunai in hand, trying to stab her in the chest - obviously aiming for the heart - but she managed to dodged every movement made towards her, except for one, which had came into contact with her left side, cutting it deep. She winced, her knee's buckling under her before she fell to the ground, one eye close in pain, as her right hand held her side, trying to make it stop bleeding.

"Why…?"

"You slow me down. Your making me weak."

His voice was extremely cold. Like the first time they met in the hospital, but it was laced with such malice, that it brought tears to her eyes. She wasn't letting the tears fall. Show them, but not let them fall. She wasn't about to cry.

In a blink of an eye, he was on top of her, both hands around her neck, thus bringing you to were they were now.

-End flashback. -

His form was starting to change. Change into something she had never seen before. All the sand around her started to swirl around him, his hands grew to a large size, causing her to lose the small amount of air she could receive, his eyes turned bright yellow with black star-like pupils. Her eyes widened, tears slowly started to slide down the side of her cheeks and onto the sand. Her vision started to darkened, her hearing started to change into a dull, muffled sound. She was going to die by his hands, and she knew it.

Slowly, her eyes closed and she was gone…

-------------------------------------------------------

She sat up fast, almost causing herself to fall out of the bed and onto the floor. Her right hand went to her neck, touching it to make sure she was alright. She could feel the sweat rolling down her face, but she didn't care. Left hand brushed through her hair as her eyes scanned the room. She was starting to hyperventilate, but she knew she needed to stop before it got worse. Taking in a couple of deep breaths she exhaled slowly, doing it a third time before stopping. Sliding her body so that her feet touched the ground, she rested her elbows on her knee's and placed her forehead in her palms, staring vacantly at the floor as if it was going to open up and swallow her.

"…Dream…"

Slowly, she stood up, arms falling limply to her sides as she walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. She had been crying in her dream, she could see the tear stains on her face. Turning on the tap she filled her hands with water and splashed it onto her face.

"Does this dream mean something…?"

------------------------------

It had been about a month that her team had arrived in Suna, and she had about a month and 2 weeks to go before she and MaiAki left. Tensho, her 'brother' from her adoptive family had left due to a huge fight that he got himself into with the Kazekage himself. She smirked at the memory, causing people to look at her oddly as she moved her way through the streets. He had called her a slut and one who deserved to die for who she was. She hadn't understood what he meant.

-Yay another flashback. -

Gaara had been standing beside her, and warned him to leave before something happened, but Tensho being an arrogant ass, and thinking he can stand up to anyone - While Gaara was the youngest Kage known around - and beat them. Alix sighed at Tensho, her eyes closing. Something was moving around at the back of her mind, but she had decided to ignore it. As her eyes opened she saw that Tensho was wrapped in sand, indicating that Gaara was obviously going to kill him right then and there. But she knew that if he killed him, that would ruin the agreement -- if chosen -- for a treaty, her having to leave because of said war, and her not being able to see Gaara anymore. Though, she was still a bit edgy at her dream 2 weeks prier.

"…She is a slut, and deserves to die anyways." Tensho smirked, his eyes narrowing. "She doesn't know what she capable of, and, you standing up for her, Kazekage, is showing weakness."

"Enough." His voice was irritated.

"Let me go, so I can kill her. Get her out of your life."

"There is no need to, Tensho. Why would one of such, high status kill me? Wouldn't that make you weak because you're going so low as to do so? And even threatening the Kazekage as well, when you know he's Kazekage for a reason." Alix smirked, her eyes moving to glare at her brother. "You really want to start a war, don't you?"

"Ye--"

"I never asked for you to answer it. It was rhetorical, if you understand what that means, dear brother. If you want to start a war, you are out of your mind. Maybe I should kill you myself and spare such a deed. I don't mind. Taka-Sama doesn't either. She knows how much I despise you and I've made it plenty clear."

"Then you'll be under guard and possibly killed because of my rank." He smirked.

Alix shrugged. "And?" She paused, her eyes glancing over to Gaara. "Please, Kazekage, let him go."

Gaara just stood there, looking at her, before he grunted and dropped his hand, Tensho falling to the ground, but not as gracefully as he had planned.

"Since your going to go back to Azure, can you please tell them to send another person to take over for Mike?"

"Who says I should?"

She sighed, irritated. "I could kill Kurmori…"

His eyes widened at the name. "You wouldn't…."

Kurmori happened to be her dear brother's girlfriend, soon to be fiancé. She was a nice person, but if she had to do things to get him the hell out of her life, she would.

"I would. I'll do it so you can't recognize her, or even think it was a human to begin with." The hell was getting into her? She was either getting this from Gaara, or somewhere else.

He nodded and just left, not saying a word in defense or took a glance back.

- end flashback. -

Coming to a sudden stop and out of her memory, she saw white in front of her and she stood there like a complete idiot.

"Alix."

"Hi… Yeah.." She looked up at the Kazekage himself, but squinted her eyes. The sun had to be right above his head didn't it?

"MaiAki is awake."

Her eyes widened, and immediately a smile graced her lips, one of pure delight, such happiness that even Gaara smiled lightly at it.
