It took me a little while to realize it, but it was strange for a little kid to suddenly be quiet. I went quietly and peeked around the corner, the kid was in the air and Kankuro was holding him around the collar. Even though I don't even know the who the kid is, I felt like doing something, but I was to afraid to do anything.
They started to walk away, towards the gates, and so I followed them, I tied up my hair in a tight bun so that it wouldn't get in my face. After a while of following them, I realized who the red-haired one was, it was Gaara of the Desert. My Sensei had told me about him. So I figured the other two were Temari and Kankuro.
The 3 sand ninja went into the forest quickly than I expected, and I figured they were deep now, so I ran after them as fast as I could.
Up ahead, Kankuro turned to Temari, "Go check and see if anyone is following us, got it?" Temari smiled a little, and mumbled, "I'm on it!" she fell back a lot and I didn't notice her as I ran right past her, I could see Kankuro and Gaara, but I didn't even realize that some one was missing.
Temari spotted me and grabbed both of my thin wrists with one hand, and with the other she held a kunai to my neck as she caught up with the other two, "Hey guys, we have someone trailing us." She said as they all stopped, the little boy was struggling and fighting Kankuro, but no matter what he wouldn't let go.
I was also struggling, I felt terrified that I was actually captured. To think, I was on my way to a funeral, and I might actually be killed myself. I kicked Temari on the shin and dug my elbow into her stomach so hard that she let go, I felt so mad at them for kidnapping a little child, I ran straight at Kankuro, I was shaking and I kicked high, towards his head so that I wouldn't hurt the boy, something was holding onto my other foot, so I couldn't turn properly so I nearly broke my foot.
I didn't know what it was, but I kicked Kankuro hard in the head, some sand chipped off, I stumbled back, but my other foot wouldn't move so I fell down. I realized I was sitting in sand, it moved and started to surround me, I was covered in sand, all except my head, it started getting tighter, "Let me go!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, but it just got tighter and harder to breath.
I started blabbing on about my abilities and why they should let me go, they didn't seem at all interested, but the sand let go and I stood up, I wasn't sure why though. Before I knew it I saw the ANBU all around us and someone punched me in the stomach and caught me, I passed out I think, because when I woke up, we were moving, still through the forest.
I groaned a little and realized Kankuro was carrying me, and when I tried to move, my stomach and ankle hurt. So I sat still and said, "You know, its all going to bite you in the butt, you know that righ,,,,," my voice trailed off, I was staring into Gaara's eyes. He looked sad, and hurt, and sort of lonely all at the same time. I felt kind of bad for him.
After a while it felt kind of awkward, everybody had stopped and I was standing there staring at him. I looked away, then Remembered the little boy, I couldn't see him, then I looked at Temari who was struggling with him, she was holding him upside-down and he kept kicking her chin, I giggled a little.
The stopped to listen, I heard Gaara and Kankuro talking to each other.
"We should just dispose of her now."
"She might be useful for fighting the ANBU."
"I don't need any help with fighting," I looked and Gaara was staring at me, I was pretty sure I knew what he was going to do. I took a few steps back, "Look, I have a demon, a-and…." I tripped, I felt so stupid, as soon as I hit the ground, sand 'caught' me and covered me except for my head again, Gaara was still looking at me, I was terrified and started to shake a little.
Finally after a long, moment, the sand getting tighter every second, Gaara spoke up, "What do you mean by demon?" he asked, his expression didn't change, I really couldn't talk very well, "I…" I took a breath in, "Have… a… demon, Ice fox…." I sighed a little then took another breath of air in, "Inside, me…" I tried mot to look at any of them, all the while the sand seemed to be getting a little looser, but I might have been imagining it.
I sighed as the sand let go, "not like I want to die, but why did you let me go?" I asked Gaara, I could see the look on Kankuro and Temari's face too, they were just as confused. He didn't say anything, but kept on walking, "Temari, Kankuro, let's go," he started to run off, I ran after them, "Wait! Get back here!" I used a speed jutsu that I still haven't mastered yet, and ran straight for Gaara.
As I was running a thought went through my mind, 'I really should have learned how to stop' I closed my eyes and ran into someone, I opened my eyes and I was over top of Gaara, I stumbled up, feeling really clumsy now. He was looking a little annoyed, "What are you doing girl?" he asked, though, it sounded more like he demanded to know, I smiled slightly and made something up, "Just wanted to see how many times I could annoy Gaara Of The Desert," I said with a big grin, and I squinted my eyes to make myself look even more annoying.
