To say this right now, if you feel like you're lost, don't worry about it. This chapter may end up being really short.

Chapter VII
I blink, "Your family? What about your family?"
"Oh," She sighs, "it's just the whole divorce thing. My parents keep arguing about whom I'm going to be living with. I don't want to pick sides, but they kinda force me to."
"At least both of your parents are alive, you could look at it that way," I mutter, turning around.
"Wait," Sakura runs up and puts a hand on my shoulder, I can't help but to blush, "You don't have both of your parents?"
"U-u-uh, no, I-I-I-I don't." My cheeks are getting redder as she turns me around to face her.
Oh God, she's so pretty… "I'm so sorry, I didn't know, I wouldn't have attacked you if I knew." She smiles weakly, "This is the second time this has happened, me going after someone who doesn't have such a peachy keen life. Which parent don't you have?"
I gulp, "I'm not sure…well it's…I don't know if I should…my Mom…I don't have a Mom."
"That's horrible, and then that means your Dad beats you."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I never said that!" I hear my voice squeak.
"I'm more observant than most people think. There's a bruise on your leg and it's in a strange place and looks odd, no normal person could have done that to themselves. I won't tell though, I understand that it's something I should dig my nose into." Her eyes narrow slightly, "Hey, why're you…blushing?"
This only gets me to blush even deeper, "E-er no reason! Bye!" I yelp and run off in the opposite direction. The bell rings and people start filing out of the cafeteria.
"HEY, DAARA!" Naruto shouts, running over to me. "Why weren't you in lunch?"
"Wasn't hungry…" I mumble. We start walking in different directions for our seven-eight classes. While I'm walking to Metal Tech, I hear a girl shout 'Ouch.' I look over and see her holding her finger. A drop of blood drips out and hits the floor. I intently smell the horrid odor and feel my stomach lunge. I put my hand over my mouth and rush into the bathroom. I run into a stall and let the sickness take over.
Like I said before, I hate blood when I'm human.
On the bus ride home, Naruto's sitting next to me, my head's against the window. "Hey, you don't look too great." He comments.
"I…I…I saw blood and got sick from it. I don't like blood…"
"Oh. That sucks. Hey, do you understand the EAC homework?"
"Not really, why?"
"Would you mind staying at the barn for a bit so we could figure it out together?"
"I wouldn't mind actually, but I need to be home before six."
"Sweet!" He grins.
It's five thirty now and I'm walking back to my house when someone runs right into me. I fall onto the pavement with my knees pointing in wards. "What the hell?! Watch where you're going!" I shout, standing up and glaring at him. His hair is black and bowl cut and his eyes are black. Oh my God, his eyebrows…wow! Now we know where your eyebrows went. So much for the pills...
He's wearing a green jumpsuit. "I am extremely sorry! I did not mean to run into you Miss! Please forgive me!"
I blink, "Er…it's ok, just watch where you're running next time."
"Thank you for understanding! I am Rock Lee by the way! And you are?"
"Er…Daara…" I'm getting weirded out by this dude.
He takes my hand and kisses it, "Thank you! And may I say house beautiful you look in that dress!" He grins and stands up strait. Of course he's taller than me, he looks like he's around five foot eight, which is three and a quarter inches taller than me without heels. "I can honestly say that I've never seen you around school, please what grade are you in?"
"Eighth…look, I need to get going…now!" I swerve around him and jog forward a bit. I sigh and keep walking, hoping not to run into anyone else. But you know how shitty my luck is, I get stopped because there are two people in the middle of the sidewalk. One is that Shikamaru from last night and the other is Temari.
"Shikamaru, I swear that it's him! Why won't you believe me?!" Temari growls, while rolling up the sleeves to her red shirt.
"Because it's illogical! He lived in Arizona, not Pennsylvania."
"Moron! I was killed in Arizona and I'm here!"
"Temari!" His voice drops and he whispers something into her ear. Her eyes widen and they travel over to me.
"Fuck," She mutters. "Hey!' She smiles and walks a little closer to me, "You're on my bus, aren't you?"
I slowly nod, "And?"
"Well…um…" She scratches behind her head.
I shake my head and walk on. I need to get home, now! At my house, I jamb the key in the lock and go inside. Shukaku slowly creeps down the steps. "What, no hardy hello?" I ask, rubbing him behind the ear once my shoes are off.
He whimpers, "I've got some bad news and some worse news. The bad news is there's a puddle in your bathroom that you need to clean up because you Dad forgot to let me out to pee. The worse news is…your Dad's home and he's in a bad mood."
My eyes widen, "Where is he?!" I hiss.
"Asleep on the couch, but he's been asleep for a while so he'd bond to wake up soon."
I bite my lower lip. When Dad's in a bad mood, there's trouble and he takes it out on me. I pull my necklace out and squeeze it to try and calm down. I shakily stand up and zip upstairs to clean Shukaku's accident up.
I sigh again and finish up, "Jeez pooch," I look at his big eyes, "couldn't you have held it in for a bit longer?"
"Noooo, sorry."
I wriggle my nose and sit up on my knees, "There, the room will smell like piss for a while but…"
"GAARA!!! GET YOUR PALE ASS DOWN HERE NOW!!!!!" Dad shouts up the steps.
"I guess he's up," the dog whimpers and I stand up slowly.
I walk down the steps and meet his cold black eyes. "Yes?" I ask quietly.
"You snuck out last night, you little whore! What were you doing?!"
"I-I-I was…in wolf---"
"Fucker! How Fuckin stupid could you get?! I've told you a hundred times to not go out unless I say you can! You little whore, you found a guy to be the whore of, didn't you?!?! You lie even when your FATHER IS ASKING! I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH YOU LIE TO TEACHERS! YOU NEED TO BE PUNISHED, SLUT!" He gets a fist full of my hair and pulls me down the last few steps and drags me to the basement door, the whole time me biting my tongue to keep from crying out in pain.
He drags me down the steps and throws me against the cement floor. He goes back up the steps and closes the door. When he comes back down, I'm sitting on my knees shaking. He glares at me and pulls the dress off, he unhooks the bra and throws that carelessly. I'm only in my red panties and scared to death. He crakes his knuckles and punches me in the stomach. I fall onto my back and whimper quietly, not wanting to anger him from being loud.
He starts punching me to a pulp and somewhere along the line, a knife came out and so I'm bleeding. He pushes me to my back and puts the blade under a scar that is raised slightly, a burn. The burn writes out a world…Monster. He drags the blade under it, underlining it. This whole time I haven't made more than a whimpering sound, but I feel the panties coming off.
He jambs a finger up my ass and I yelp. Another finger penetrates threw and he starts pumping them back and forth. I'm biting my bleeding lip to keep from screaming. When his fingers come out, I smell my blood and choke back bile. Something else starts to go up my ass and it isn't his fingers. It's cold and hard, a rod. He starts pumping that in a out until he shoves it in as far as he can and I cry out in pain as tears spill from my eyes.
He pulls the rod out and takes his pants off. Through tear-blurred eyes, I see his erect cock come free of his shorts. I gulp and he gets ready to thrust in. When he does…"KAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shout out from the pain of him thrusting back and forth. "DAD!!!! PLEASE STOP!!!! IT HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He slams into my prostate again and I shout in agony once more. He finally releases then pulls out. I'm panting manically and dragging my nails against the cement floor.
Dad puts his pants back on and picks me up. He sits me down in a cold brown metal chair and sits opposite of me. "You need to start enjoying this, whore, this is what you'll get in the really world from your fagot boyfriends. And because you're a whore, you'll get it from a lot of different men. Now, listen to me Gaara." I look at him timidly. "Do you know what you're going to do right now?"
I slowly shake my head, getting my red hair to bounce. I cross my ankles and gulp.
"You're going to masturbate."
I stare at him and look down and the spot between my legs, then back at him. Here's a fun little fact that I bet you didn't know, I've never had an erection. I've never had anything sexual except for rape and stuff he does to me, but that doesn't count. "B-but-but Dad, I c-can't do that!"
"And why not?!?!" He snaps.
"B-b-b-because…I just can't!"
"You are such a weak fool!" He picks up a chain and ties it around my slender form. He walks up the stairs and turns the light off, leaving me alone in the dark. I hang my head and stare at the floor.
"Wake up." Dad grumbles, smacking my forehead. I open my eyes and look up at him. He unties me and pulls me up. He turns me around and presses a blade to my bleeding back. "Remember, Gaara, Daddy loves you." He pushes me to the floor and marches back up the steps and turns the light out.
I just lay on the ground for a few minutes, being reluctant to stand up.
At long last, I push myself up to all fours. I arch my back and feel the tail growing out. The rest of my bones shift and crack until I'm finally a werewolf. I run to the storm steps and rush up them. I run in the cool night and howl into the night.
When I get to a clearing, I freeze, gasp and turn back to human in about two minutes. I collapse onto the ground and close my eyes. I can't…go…on…I'm too…battered…I won't…be able to get…home…
The night is cool, as I said, and there're clouds covering to moon so it's kind of darker out. The gentle sound of a distant stream is interrupted by three voices. "Choji, do you have to eat all the time?!" A shrill girl hisses.
"Yes, I do! I'm an Oger for God's sake!."
"Well whatever, jelly-belly…" I hear shrubbery shifting then a gasp, "Oh my God!"
"Ino, isn't that the new girl?" The second voice asks.
"Yeah, Daara! Are you ok?" I hear three sets of footsteps.
"Eee, that ain't a Daara." This voice sounds like Shikamaru. The three are in front of me. Blackness over whelms me.
Cold water hits my face, "(groan.) Wha…?" I open my eyes and see three faces looking down to me. One in Ino, one is Shikamaru, and the other I've never seen before. His face is chubby and there are pink swirls on his cheeks and his hair is a mossy green. Sticking out of his head are little stumpy horns. I push myself up on my elbows and look at myself. I'm all bandaged up and wearing a pair of girl's shorts.
"Yeah, those are mine," Ino says seeing me looking at the shorts, "I wear them under my robes. They're the only thing that came close to fitting you. You know, you're pretty small for a eighth grader."
I look at her, "Why are you helping me?"
"Don't worry about it. Daara, that isn't your real name. I don't really want to know why you cross-dress but what I do want to know is what your real name is."
"Gaara…"
Jeez, how many times did I say 'home' in this chapter? This story doesn't really have long chapters…And just incase any of you people that are nice and leave reviews read Mute, and are wondering if there's going to be a squeal, there will be. I swear (or at least hope) that there will be longer chapters. Auf Wiedersehen!
