And no, I won't leave you guys hanging!
I'll try to even have a new chapter by tomorrow X3
Okay, so we can all come to the simultaneous conclusion that I am a horrible person. A horrible, horrible person. A horrible, inconsistent person. It's like me to not continue something I start.
But so many of you have favorited my story that I feel really, really guilty. Everytime I got an email saying that someone favorited it, I felt both good and bad.
I got caught in the middle of a rather nasty bout of writer's block, and of course, typical high school life. I know it doesn't excuse it, but just the reason why I haven't written more. However, I'm a much more creative person now then I was two years (oh god I'm so sorry. So sorry) ago. I have new ideas for this story. Plus I'm a much better writer then I was back then.
So, without further adieu, I give you the long awaited Chapter Four.
"Very well then," he whispered softly. "I shall tell you everything there is to know about me, Uchiha Sasuke."
"When I was younger, I was outgoing. I had many friends and many adventures with them. My life was ideal and perfect. I had everything I could want…until the snow came. It brought sickness and disease. Everything in the land died, and this place which had once been full of life was turned into a desolate wasteland full of suffering and death. The trees withered. Animals died. People died. I got the sickness, but I somehow survived when no one else had. There once was a village here. They did not trust me, for I was the only one who had ever survived the sickness. They believed that I was cursed. One night, when I was walking back to my house, I was pushed down into the snow by someone who was once my friend. He took out a dagger and carved into my forehead this scar-a representation of love. Love which I will never have because I am…cursed. The village all died, and my family and I ran away to escape the disease. We came back eventually, and have stayed here ever since. My own family still doesn't trust me. I've grown withdrawn because I've never known anyone to trust or to love me. That is my story."
There was silence for a moment of great tension. Both of their hearts beat in the darkness, apart and yet, as one, joined by the knowledge they had shared.
"I don't believe you are cursed," Sasuke quietly whispered after gathering the courage to speak once again. "Not cursed. Just misunderstood," he smiled, gently caressing Gaara's hand. Gaara's hand grew stiff, and he bit back sadness. He let out a deep breath, and relaxed his hand, holding onto Sasuke's tightly. The two remained entwined in the cold night. The air was frigid, and even beneath the covers, both of them shivered, although their hearts were warmed with compassion.
Sasuke woke up to warm rays of light on his face. He smiled, and sleepily opened his eyes. Beside him, Gaara was sounds asleep. His red hair shone in the sun, bright and fiery. He had a peaceful look on his face. Sasuke stroked his hand softly, and planted a kiss on his forehead. Letting go of his hand, Sasuke struggled out of the covers and let out a monstrous yawn. He walked over to the kitchen, where a cold plate of pancakes was sitting. He let out a chuckle, and grabbed one, eating it at the table.
He heard rustling over by the couch, and, pancake in mouth, went over to investigate. A sleepy Gaara emerged from under the covers, hair askew. He looked up and as soon as he saw Sasuke, he blushed a light red. Sasuke smiled at him, and Gaara let out what seemed to be a little laugh. Setting the pancake down, Sasuke walked up to Gaara, and the two stared at each other before awkwardly looking away.
"The sun came out!" Gaara exclaimed, tearing open the front door and letting a cold blast of morning air in. The yellow and red light reflected on his face, and his eyes glinted with sheer happiness.
"Gaara, my man tits are freezing!" Sasuke said, his arms protectively over his chest as he shivered.
"Sorry," Gaara laughed, closing the door. He had an expression of childlike awe plastered on his face.
"What happened to you two?" A voice came from the stairway. Temari and Kankuro were standing on the stairs, suspiciously looking at them. "Why did you open the door? It's cold enough in here already," Kankuro whined.
"The sun came out," Gaara said proudly, gesturing to the window.
Temari and Kankuro rushed to open the door once again, and both of them started laughing and exclaiming to themselves.
"I haven't seen the sun in years!" Kankuro giggled.
"It's so warm!" Temari sighed happily.
"You know what this means?" Temari turned around, grinning at the whole household. "We're going on an adventure!"
Sorry it's really short. I love cliffhangers. :D They get you excited.
No, I'm not going to promise this time for a new chapter tomorrow. But I do promise that I really will continue it this time.
I've changed from the bad writer I once was.
