Chapter Six
I finally caught up with Gaara. He can be so selfish sometimes, oh well. "We're here," He says. "Okay," I said back at him. Suddenly, I feel sand crawl around my legs. I desperately fight to get free but I can't. "No fair! You didn't even tell me we were starting!" I yell furiously. "Your fault for not being aware," He laughs menacingly. I grab kunai out of my dress pocket before it's swallowed by the sand and throw it at Gaara's shoulder. More sand just comes out and blocks it. "You think that will hurt me?" He sneers. The sand has almost reached my neck. I feel so useless. "Gaara, this isn't fair!" I yell. "All's fair in the fight for existence," He laughed almost insanely. He reaches his hand out and closes it. I feel the sand compressing me. If goes any farther I'm scared it'll crush me. "Stop it! Stop it Gaara, please!" I yell in pain. The sand doesn't stop; in fact it constricted me more. "Please, please stop!" I yell again. He only responded with his emotionless gaze.
He finally stops five minutes later. My lungs feel like they've exploded. "You're pathetic," He says coldly. I stand up although my body screams for me to stop. I run at him and try to flip him over but, the sand grabs my foot and tosses me to the ground. I start coughing and I can't stop. I've got to stop myself before I start… all thoughts were cut off by a metallic taste in my mouth. "Hn, didn't even last ten minutes," He scoffed and started to walk off. "What the hell did you do to her?" A voice yells from the distance. Gaara just kept walking. Then Sasuke emerged from the leaves. "You jerk, I watched the entire fight," He yelled at him. This time Gaara turned around facing Sasuke in the eyes with a scowl. Then Sasuke charged at Gaara trying to punch him in the face but the sand just blocked it. Gaara then tried to grab him with his sand but, he swiftly dodged it and somehow surpassed Gaara's defensives and punched him in the back of the head. Gaara scowled even harder and wrapped Sasuke up in the sand, using the same attack he used on me. "Damn it!" Sasuke yells angrily. "Please, please stop Gaara!" I scream. I feel tears rolling down my face. I force myself to stand up and walk to him. "Why? Why did you try to kill him?!" I screamed at him. My words were lost in his emotionless gaze. "This isn't a game Gaara! When people ask you train they don't want you to kill them!" I cried. I spat out more blood. "Why do you do this to people?!" I yelled. "Because everyone hates me, despises me and thinks I'm a monster," He replied flatly. "I don't Gaara! I don't think you're a monster! Why can't you give anyone a DAMN CHANCE?!" I screamed. "Because, I gave someone a chance and they tried to kill me in the end!" He growled. I ran over to Sasuke to see if he was okay. Oh my God, please have a pulse. Please, please. I warily press my fingers on his neck… thank God there's a pulse. I may dislike him but I don't hate him enough to want him to die. I turn to face Gaara again. "Gaara, not everyone wants to kill you!" I said. "How so, I have this demon inside of me, no I AM THIS DEMON and everyone is scared of me, so they try to kill me to settle their fears," He snarled. I cough up more blood. The awful taste of blood filling my mouth again. "Please just, give me a chance to be your friend," I cried. He looked at me shocked or maybe it was fear, I can't tell, am I his first friend or something? "Y-you want to be my 'friend'?" He asked. "Yes, why did you think I wanted to train with you? But, you know after what you just did, I'm not so sure," I say coldly. I start to limp off. You know what! I don't care what happens to Sasuke. I don't care what happens to Gaara-kun! All I care about right now is getting to a God forsaken hospital!
