Wish: And so it begins

Chapter 3

…To look into your eyes, and see you looking back

Eyes glanced around the small tent, the realization of what had just happened now hitting her, and as her eyes moved around the tent, Batman, Temari and Gaara, were watching her. Batman not knowing what to say, but picking MaiAki up in his arms, cradling her to his chest. Temari just smiled and gave a thumbs up. But Gaara just stood there, looking like he usually did on a daily bases, but seemed to have a spark on interest in his eyes.

She glared at him, arms crossing over her chest and trying to return back to her normal self before what had just happened. She sighed softly, looking away and at her sister. Just then something jabbed into her back, and was cutting through her armor under her clothes and into her back. She winced slightly, but didn't show it, her eyes opening. Apparently no one noticed anything, not yet at least.

"Meet me outside, near the Sound camp. I want to talk to you."

The voice was males, that much she could tell, but it had been disguised so she couldn't tell if she knew this person or not. Her eyes narrowed, her aura flaring slightly, and the sword left her back. Standing there for about a minute, she moved over to the entrance, earning a glare from Gaara, which she responded back and a 'Screw off', before leaving.

--------------------------

Walking against the sand for 5 minutes, she came to a stop when a cold blade was pressed to her neck, hand planted on her shoulder to hold her in place, face by her ear. She didn't budge, but smirked at what was going on. Omen started to get excited, and she wanted out.

"So you came, alone. How foolish."

"I like to act like a retard sometimes."

The person behind her seemed to smirk, tightening his grip on her shoulder.

"Your Rage Alix, Shinobi of Azure, correct?"

"Depends on who's asking."

"My name is Chiisu. Shinobi of sound, right-hand man of the one ruling sound now."

"So you can tell me who's ruling Sound now, right?"

"No, no. I can't." His head leaned in closer to her ear, his breath causing her to shiver lightly, and Omen to growl. "He says I can't… He wants it to be a surprise. He sends a message though."

Alix's eye only shifted back to try and look at the man, but it wasn't working.

"He says that you should be ready to fight what you'd never think of. Your true self will come into place, and everything and everyone around you will be killed one by one. Soon enough, you'll be left alone in the world where you belong. And when that happens, you'll be so broken, he'll strike, and kill you. He says he loves you, like a sister."

And with that, he was gone, to leave a stunned Alix standing in the cold air, wind blowing around. Her eyes were widened and unconsciously her hand moved to her mask, as if she was going to cover her mouth - but apparently she didn't realize it.

What had that meant, the last part? He loves her like a sister? Who the hell could be that person? The only person she could think of was Mike, and Mike was dead. There were probably two others, but they weren't all that close. Her knee's buckled, causing her to collapse onto her knee's, causing the sand around her to fly and swirl around her, chakra started to form around her body - She was pissed, but she didn't know why.

'I can't tell who the chakra on him was. Can't help you out.'

She growled, hand grasping itself into a fist and punching the ground as hard as she possibly could, but the sand just seemed to swallow her hand, making a crater around her fist.

"I warned you once to stop doing that. I don't like to repeat myself."

She growled loudly, standing up slowly, but not turning around. He just had a knack from showing up at random times when she was within his area when she was mad or sad. Taking in a deep breath, she exhaled slowly and looked up at the sky, watching the clouds move fast past the moon.

"Kazekage. What do you want?"

"Who was that?"

She turned her head and looked at him, his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes demanding.

"Don't know what your talking about."

"Your lying. He was talking to you. Who was it."

"A person. From sound."

His eyes lit up in anger, and she smirked, turning around completely and tilted her head to the side a little bit.

"Angry?"

"Your going against us?"

Sand started to swirl around her legs, some sand grasping onto her feet tightly, his aura flaring up like he had more chakra than before, and this caused Alix to stop smirking - he was pissed that she was 'going against them.' This anger was like when he attacked her. Her eye that was show held pain and hurt, and he caught onto it, immediately stopping and taking a couple of steps towards her, and she taken a step back like she was afraid of him.

In retro-spec, she was. She was still afraid of him, even if she had Omen to protect her. She may have been a bit stronger than before, but it was still Gaara and he still held a part of her heart and love. Something that'd never go away, no matter how much he hurt her. She'd still love him if he killed her. She smiled lightly at that thought. She'd die by his hands… and only his hands. It'll be a promise she'll keep.

"Alix…" His voice held slight worry. He realized why she was afraid of him - he was as angry as he was when she lied to him, when he attacked her. He stopped walking, and lowered his arms to his side. "Alix, I'm sorry."

Her eye widened lightly at what he said. "W-what?"

"I'm… Sorry." He hated the word, but she needed to hear it from him. He never got to say it before, when she left him the first time and left him alone.

"Gaara… I can't forgive you… for what you did. But.. I'll give you one more chance."

She raised her hands to her mask, and the cloth covering her eye, taking them off, and dropping them around her neck, she was smiling, and his eyes widened, but he was happy she was smiling at him.

"Its good to look into your eyes, and see you looking back…"
