So here is the first chapter. It's kind of short, but it should get longer.


8-year-old Gaara sat on the roof and cried. He couldn't believe his uncle had just tried to kill him. The tears rolled down his face as he hugged his teddy bear tight, and the sand surrounded him. He sat there like that for several minutes before he got up and walked to the edge of the roof. He dried his tears and jumped down. The sand caught him at the bottom, and he started to walk down the streets to his home. At one corner on the way there his dad, the Kazekage, stood there. His expression wasn't different from the last time he saw him. It was cold and he pierced Gaara with his eyes as Gaara walked by him. Gaara hung his head as he walked by.

When he got back to the place he lived the people stared at him. When he walked by they whispered to each other. Gaara wondered what they were talking about, but he guessed it was him. Everyone was probably in on his uncle going to get him and was probably wondering what happened to him. He opened the door to his room and heard someone say that they found his uncles body up on the roof of a building. Gaara closed the door to his room and put his ear on the door. Some people were talking, "Well if his uncle is gone who is going to take care of the little demon?"

"Well I guess we will have to."
"I'm not going to take care of a little killer!"
"Well someone has to."
"Well it's not going to be me, you can do it I'm busy with other people."

The door to Gaara's room opened and he raced over to his window. It was a young tall blond women, she looked scared to be there. "Uh, h-hi Gaara, um... how are you?" she asked him.

Gaara gave her a sad look and hug his teddy bear. "Looking out the window," he told her.

"W-why aren't you in bed sleeping?" she asked walking more into the room and shutting the door.

"I can't sleep," he told her still looking out the window.

"W-why not?" the woman asked shaking.

"Didn't they tell you?" he asked. She shook her head. "I haven't slept once since I was born; if I do the scary demon will come out and hurt people," he told her.

"W-well then I guess it's best if you don't go to sleep then. Um, I'm just going to go, call if you need anything I guess," she said backing away to the door and opening it.

Gaara looked at her with a sad look on his face. "Ok," he said sadly, and she left.
