Lucy Meets Gaara

Hardest thing about this chapter was the title. Ahrgg...I couldn't find the right emotion to describe this chapter. First was 'Love', which I quickly discarded. Secondly was 'Hope'. Bleh, trashed. Then 'Anxiety'. The hell? No way! Trash! Then 'Akward'. I couldn;t spell it right. Trashed. 'Tension' fit, it seems. And no ne reviewed. That made me sad. I actually had this written for about a week. First things first. I will not update a chapter of this until I have the chapter after said chapter written. reviews make me happy and make me post sooner, so review. Please?

Disclaimer: Wait.What does not own Elfen Lied or Naruto. Thank god. But if she did, she'd make sure evryone in the world got to see them for free.

Chapter One: Tension

When I passed the kitchen earlier that morning, I heard something about a glitch in the lab south of Sunagakure, practically on the border, and a specimen had escaped into the city and killed guards...guarding the gates. I didn't really care.It was probably better for the specimen. Later that same day, I was sent to the Kazekage's office with the rest of my team. We had a mission.

Capture the escaped specimen by any means possible.

The specimen was a humanoid female with pink hair and horns coming out of her head. They gave us a picture to give us a better idea. Her given name was Kira, but for some reason she called herself 'Lucy' and would only respond to that. To make it harder, the glitch deleted all files on her abilities. It sounded challenging. I agreed to the misson.

Now I was at the park. I hated the park. But, unfortunetly for me, that's where she was. Swinging in the park, an odd looking green hat on her head that hadn't been in the description. Temari, Kankuro, and Baki stayed behind me as I approached the girl. Cowards. But then again, they were killable, while I wasn't. I smirked. The girl took no notice to me, not until I sent my sand after her.

She jumped off the swing in midair and landed on her feet, but stumbled a bit. She looked around, trying to find the culprit. I smirked.

"If you are looking for the one responsible, that would be me." I spoke. She turned to look at me, an eyebrow raised. She really had no idea who I was. Such a pity, I suppose. I sent more sand at her. She dodged, and the benches started to float in the air. Was this her ability, telekinisis? She smirked, and the benches flew at me. The sand formed a shield, as always, and shock was on her face, but only for a few moments. It was replaced by determination.

"I will not go back." She said coldly, and she started walking towards me. I raised an invisible eyebrow. Kankuro always told me that some Leaf ninja by the name of Gai stole my eyebrows as a child. I was going to kill him if I ever saw him. She was soon within two meters of me. She was brave, I'd give her that. but she was also foolish. I sent my sand at her, and she jumped out of the way, towards me. For a moment I thought I saw hands. I gasped as a sharp pain entered my chest. She landed on her feet, sporting a cold smirk.

"Now, now. Here I was thinking that I'd get an interesting fight." I glared at the pink haired female, and she smirked in return. I tried to control my sand, but every time the sand started to rise, the sharp pain returned to my chest. What was this pain? I knew my siblings behind me were shocked. I was in pain, but I didn't know how. And they didn't either. Not until she told them, of course. "I suggest you don't attempt to move the sand one more time, or I'll make my Vectors crush your heart." My eyes widened. Vectors? What the hell were they? She saw the look on my face, and her smirk grew.

"Of course, you wouldn't know what Vectors are, now would you?" She chuckled coldly. "Vectors, my extra arms. They're invisible to normal eyes. Of course, Ninja eyes aren't normal, so if you saw them, well...It would still do you no good." She smirked."Vectors can pass through everything, and can be used as normal hands. The only difference is that you can't stop them, and they're stronger than even a Ninja's arms. They can pass through your sand barriar, whcih means you're as good as dead. All of you." She chuckled again. "Well, unless you let me leave, of course. If not, well, I wonder how it feels to have your limbs ripped apart, on by one?" I glared at the female.

"Well, which shall it be, Humans?" I looked back at the other three. They had a mixture of thoughtfulness and fear on their faces. I felt jealous, sort of, that she had this kind of power. Baki reached down at his shuriken pouch. I looked over at the specimen. She was smirking still, even though she knew he would throw them at her. One flew towards her head, and her smirk grew wider. I saw the hands again, as well as one long one leading towards my chest. Another hand blocked the shuriken from hitting. It caught it, and then sent it right back. I heard Baki cry out. Damn. This was not good. Temari sighed.

"Fine. You can go. Just release Gaara." Temari bargained. The female using me as hostage raised an eyebrow, before chuckling.

"You three can go, but I don't trust the red haired one. I'd like to keep him in a position where I know he would use his sand." I clenched my teeth. Now that I was put into the situation, I really didn't feel like dying. The voice in the back of my head, Shukaku, was giving a cold laugh.

Kill me and yourself, or let us both live? Heh heh, this is a difficult one, isn't it? I like this girl, but I would love to see her blood even more. Heh heh... Shukaku murmured. My eyes narrowed. Temari, Kankuro, and Baki still hadn't left. I threw a plan together in my head. It wasn't a very good one, but if it worked like I planned, then I'd be free and able to kill this bitch. I used the sand behind her to circle around her back, then I turned it into many spears. She looked behind moments before I sent it at her body, and dodged. She was now more than two meters away from me, and the vectors withdrew from me. I raised an eyebrow, but used the sand to try and kill her. She was able to use her Vectors to mess up the sand's path, and occasionally to stop the sand completely.

Send sand at her, dodge, block, or hold sand, send more sand, dodge, block, or stop, send more sand...It was like this until I formed a large caccoon around her, and commanded it to close around her. I didn't kill her, however. Instead I brought her to my face and sneered at her, which turned out to be foolish.

"And how does it feel to be in Death's hand now, specimen?" I asked. She looked minorly irritated.

"Meh. Not much different from my past life when I died." I raised an eyebrow, and she smirked. I saw her Vectors dive into my chest, clenching numerous body organs. I gasped, she smirked. "If you kill me, you die too. How's that for fair play?" I glared at her.

"B-bitch.." She smirked even more, and chuckled.

"Try Diclonius, Human."

"Why haven't you killed her yet, Gaara?" Temari asked as she helped Baki up. Kankuro sighed.

"It's because he can't. If he kills her, she kills him with her Vector things." Kankuro replied. Temari swore.

"Listen, we told you that we wouldn't kill you!" Temari shouted. Why were they still here? Shouldn't they be happy I was going to die? The pink haired female scoffed.

"So? I don't fear death. I fear being imprisoned. Being tortured. Being alone. Not death." I raised an eyebrow. She feared being alone?

"You won't be any of those things back at the lab!" Kankuro reasoned. She scoffed again.

"Sure, that's what they all say. Next thing I know, I'm in a cage, far away from everyone else, being shot at with canon balls, with my only interaction being meal time. I have dealt with labs before, you know. I won't fall for the same thing twice." I remembered something. She'd never escaped before, it said so in the mission description.

"You haven't escaped before, so how do you know about things like that?" I asked. She lowered her head and chuckled darkly.

"Because, in my past life that is what happened to me. I remember it clearly. I was happy for a few short moments in my life, before they shot me to death." This was confusing. Past life? What was she talking about? I heard the others gasp, and when I turned around to see what was wrong, her Vectors had picked up nearby objects, namely a bench. I swore as the bench started to float, and then was flung at me. The sand from the experiment's coffin retracted and formed a sheild. After that, I felt a fist slam into my face and grimaced in pain. She chuckled. "So, the sand protects you on its own. Interesting. But of course, it has a price." She raised her fist to strike me again, but Temari jumped over us, her fan raised. The fan struck the specimen on the head, and the Vectors instantly retracted. She wobbled for a bit, before collapsing into the sandy ground. Temari walked over and checked her pulse.

"She's still alive. She sure can take a hit, as well as dish them out. Huh." Temari crossed her arms, frowning. I smirked. That was one of the best fights I'd ever had. She'd even managed to endanger my life. Interesting. Temari looked over at me, and I raised a non-exsistant eyebrow.

"What?" I asked. Temari shook her head.

"Never mind." She looked back at the specimen."She was able to put you into a spot where you could die. I'd hate to see what her original reason for being created was for. Hell, I'd hate to fight her."

"Same here." Kankuro spoke. I looked at the specimen's body. She was strong, capable of even killing me. But she could of attacked me from a farther distance, why did she wait until she was in range of two meters? My eyes widened. Perhaps she could only use her Vectors at a length of only two meters. Well, at least the scientists had given her an interesting weakness. But she could still pick things up and throw things. I smirked. Interesting indeed.

"Should we bring her back? I asked. Everyone turned to look at me like I was crazy. Which I was, but that's beside the point.

"Of course! You saw what she could do! She has to go back!" Temari replied in an almost disbelieving voice.

"Yes...She would be a danger to the village..."Baki agreed. He was able to stand on his own now, but he was wincing.

"True, she was able to put me into a bad situation, and she is a bit of a danger, but if no one gets in the range of two meters everything will be fine." Kankuro's mouth dropped open, and I had an urge to say something, but I kept it to myself. "If she can put me into a position like that, just think of what she can do against an enemy Ninja." They gave me a confused look. I mentally asked why I had to be stuck with these idiots."As a weapon, you morons." They had a look of realization on their faces. They weren't totally stupid. Baki sighed.

"We should ask the Kazekage for his opionon first. If he says no, she goes back to the lab." Baki said. I shrugged.

"Whatever." I walked out of the park, leaving the rest of my team sweatdropping, and the speciment still out cold. At that time, I had no idea what I was getting into. I was just thinking along the lines of Hey, now I won't be the only super strong freak around, and maybe I'll have a friend too. Hopeful thinking? Yeah, it was. But at least this one could kill me if I was betrayed again.

Hell yeah! It's finished! And my tail broke again! And I might be grounded! Not so fun. -sighs- Why does life hate me? Well, this might just be the longest first chapter I've ever written. I really hope that this'll turn out to be a Maniacshipping fic! Maniacshipping is LucyGaara, btw. Stay tuned!

Wait.What, Aemoh.Escuro
