Chapter 2- Forgot something?
I don't know how long I cried for. It felt like hours. I glanced up at my bunny clock and realized its midnight. I surprised Papa didn't knock down the door to see if I was still alive.
'Wait. That's not important. I-I need to find Gaara!'
I stood up with a jerk and ran to my door. Slightly opening it, I check to see if any life was downstairs and was greeted with nothing but silence. I opened the door enough for me to sneak through with Gaara's teddy bear. I quietly rushed down the stairs and snuck out the front door. As I walked away from my home, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. It felt like cold metal daggers poking at my spine. I shook my head and thought of Gaara and that he needs his friend.
I broke into a sudden run and went on my search for Panda.
' Dear Mighty Sandcastles….WHERE ARE YOU GAARA!' I thought in exasperation. I started breathing hard after walking almost ALL over Suna and even though it's night..IT'S HOT. 'How hard is to find a REDHEAD that looks like PANDA?" I stop to rest for the thousandth time against a sandy wall and slump down. Gaara's forgotten teddy having a….sad look on it's face? I stared at it thinking ' Here comes the hallucinations.-.-'. I sighed again, looking up from the bear's face and stare at the darkened sky.
"Neko?" a voice questioned. I widen my eyes and turned my head to see Gaara looking at me with concerned eyes. A couple seconds passed by…
" GAARA!" I yelled, launching myself at him in a hug. The sand, unfortunately, denied my request of giving Gaara a hug.
"Stupid Sand!" I yelled with anger and did what every other child would do: Kicked it. Gaara gave a small laugh at my behavior and stuck out his hand, which I happily took. Why would his sand deny a hug, but approve of hand holding-.-?
We started walking through the village , then came upon the swing set where I first met Gaara.
" Swingtime!" I exclaimed and let go of Gaara's hand to make a mad dash for the seat. I skidded to a halt in front of the seat and sat. I heard Gaara come up from behind and give me a big push and he sat at the other seat. We swung for a while then Gaara spoke up saying" Why did you look for me?" I turn to see his seafoam eyes full of curiosity and I replied saying " You obviously had sand in your ears yesterday when I told you I wanted to be your friend." He blushed and said," Oh yea I forgot. I'm not used to having a friend." I did nothing but smile^^.
" Ignore my papa." He looked up when he heard my voice. I looked at him straight on. " He doesn't know what he's talking about." Gaara nodded. We continued to stare at the dark sky now turning morning colors.
"Its sooooo pretteh! " I suddenly yelled. Gaara smiled and giggled.
I turn to Gaara to say something when I saw a dark figure stalking toward us. I thought it was my papa but the figure had a ANBU mask on. My eyes widened when the masked shinobi flashed his kunai and threw them at lightning speed.
"GAARA!"I screamed. The kunai hit his sand defense and he jerked around to see the assassin throwing the next round of weapons. Gaara grabbed my hand and pulled me behind him while the assassin threw rounds and rounds of kunai at them. Gaara clenched his fists in anger.
He turned the tables by having his sand catching the next batch of kunai and ordered the sand to throw it back. The assassin didn't expect that and narrowly dodged them. He stalked around us, trying to find a weak spot no doubt. I couldn't help but stare in fear.
"Don't worry , Neko," Gaara said, " I will protect you." I saw determination in those innocent panda eyes. I glanced back at the assassin in the mask. He was sent here to kill Gaara. My eyes narrowed into a glare at the ninja. The assassin was getting ready to throw another round of kunai when I finally just….snapped. I ran out of Gaara's circle of sands defense picked up a stray kunai and, without aiming, threw it randomly with my eyes closed. I slipped and fell face first into the sand.
"Neko!" Gaara exclaimed and ran to where I fell. " are you ok!"
" Yep! I'm ok! ^^" I said happily. " The sand and I wanted to get more acquainted with each other, "I joked. Gaara stared at me then gave a small laugh. He used his sand to bring me upright to standing position and we both looked at the heap of a ninja behind him. It wasn't a pretty sight.
The kunai I threw was sticking out his throat, which resulted in an automatic death. I couldn't help but widened my eyes. I did that? I thought. Gaara had the same look I did. O.O
" Neko. Let me take you home." Gaara said quietly. I turn with a tired smile and said " Okie."
He grabbed my hand and we walked toward the direction of my house. As we were walking, I thought to myself " It's weird that I wasn't bothered by the sight at all."
" Neko, are you alright?" Gaara's voice snapped me out of my daze and I gave him a smile and a nod. We managed to get to my house in good time. Gaara led me to my front door and turned to leave. I grabbed him and yanked him back around saying " HEY! I DESERVE A HUG!" and wrapped my arms around him. Gaara went stiff but quickly relaxed. He hesitantly wrapped his arms around me. I broke the hug and said" See you later, PANDA!" He blushed then turn quickly and dashed away. I couldn't help but giggle and turn to go inside. I stopped to realize two things: I dropped Gaara's teddy somewhere TT^TT and I felt and ominous presence that was coming from inside the house.
