FlashBack
/Gaara's POV/
-Flashback-
'Stupid Blondie. He's gonna be late and I'm not going to be waiting here for him.' Walking away slowly from the luggage pickup, I began making my way to the exit. "Hey Gaara. Where do you think you're going? We still have to wait for Deidara to come pick us up." Turning around, I barely noted that Kankuro had made a move to stop me from walking away. Grunting, I shook my head and threw a piece of paper with my reply before continuing on my way.
Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out some of my earbuds and began to shuffle through my music. The crowds had a weird smell that I growled at lowly. I didn't have to worry about people bumping into me, they took one look at me and walked to the other side of the room. Grunting, I shifted my duffel bag to be more comfortable before I continued making my way to the far exit.
"Gen! Watch out!"
Turning my head to the right I saw a young girl, possibly my age, running straight to me. Another girl, possibly a friend or sister, was running right behind her. Without a second thought I stuck my hand out to stop her but instead her forehead ran right into it and she fell to the floor.
'Looks like I miscalculated again today. Though Kankuro was already falling because Temari had let him trip over her ridicules huge fan.' Turning around I continued to walk away to hopefully leave the girls alone. Obviously the second girl had another idea.
Gripping my arm, she whirled me around to face her. A small thought drifted through my head before I realized what she was yelling at my face. 'Her eyes are a dark blue...' Her eyes were blazing as she continued to yell and gripped my arm.
"Hey you punk! Where do you think you are going?! You just punch my sister in the face and then leave her on the floor? The least you can do is at least.." Placing my hand over her mouth to stop her yelling, I looked down at the floor to see the first girl on the ground still. My hand print was still on her forehead as she whimpered looking scared. 'Not the first time someone whimpered once they saw me.' Looking at her eyes I realized she wasn't looking in my direction at all, she was staring at her sister who was death staring me.
Before I could realize what I did, I gripped the first girl's arm and pulled her up to her feet. Peeling the taller girl's hand off of mine, I pushed her hands down before I turned to glare at her. Her breath hitched just the tiniest before she glared right back at me. "Hn. You're the first to actually try to harm me. Be lucky that I was barely able to get an hour of sleep in before I landed." Not bothering to glance back I strode out of the airport.
Not before I heard the taller one mutter "Stupid panda looking dude."
-End Flashback-
'Why am I still thinking about that incident at the airport. I should have killed her while I could.'
Sighing out loud, I flipped off the tree branch and whistled up at it. Watching the branch sway under the weight of Shukaku, a tanuki. Chattering, Shukaku hisses before propelling himself through the air and onto my shoulder. "Hey Shukaku. Miss me buddy?" Growling happily, Shukaku began to curl himself around my neck. Pulling up the hood on my jacket, I shook my head as he began to burrow even deeper. Smirking just to myself, I began walking to the hospital that was two miles away.
The air shifted as the sun began to dip behind the mountains. Streets began to become more and more deserted before it was only Shukaku and I on the street. 'God it feels good to be back home again. Doesn't it Shukaku?' Even though I knew Shukaku couldn't talk back, it honestly felt like he was trying to communicate back. Turning a corner I noticed a small shack that cooked it's food right in front of the customer. Sliding the door to the side, I waved to the cook who had looked up to greet me.
"Gaara? Is that you? Are you and your family coming to visit? God it's been years since you guys have last came back home." The cook smiled as he continued to flip various foods. Looking around the shack, I noted that it was filled with a few businessman scattered around.
"Yeah it's me, Shefu . I see you took my advice and opened the shack bigger. Do you still have my gizzard on the menu?"
Taking a seat at the bar area around the grill, I took a small whiff and cracked a smirk when I smelt the fresh gizzard from the grill. "Sasori came in last week before going to LA and said to cook some gizzard on Saturday night. Said that I would be expecting my old favorite customer to make a return." Shefu snickered as he wrapped up the meal in a foil before handing it off to me. Nodding my head to him, Shukaku poked his head out of the hood and lightly barked at the food in my hands.
Shefu laughed out loud at Shukaku's reaction and reached behind the counter to pick something up. When his hand returned, it held a raw gizzard. Shukaku dove at his hand, gingerly gripped the meat in his mouth, and sailed back onto my shoulder before swallowing it whole. "you've been feeding him while I was gone huh?" I reached up to pet Shukaku. "Well that poor thing has to eat regularly right? I only saw it fit to feed my favorite customer's pet while he was gone."
Nodding, I waved goodbye before heading back out into the cold night. It was two minutes into my walk towards the hospital when I felt Shukaku began to hiss at the entrance of an alley. Diving off my shoulder, he took off running down it screeching with bloodlust in his eyes.
/Okami's POV/
I slammed the door behind me and tore down the driveway. Gripping my backpack even tighter, I pulled out my phone and looked up the closest hospital near the house, which was Konoha Medical Hospital. Realizing that it was ten miles south from me, I began sprinting down the streets watching the sun began the descen behind the mountains.
After three hours of wandering possibly aimlessly, I couldn't help but blame my phone for getting me lost in a new city. The air had already began to get colder after night had settled and street lamps were barely lighting only ten feet around them. Businessmen were beginning their drunk activities and gang members were shuffling around in the alley way entrances.
Looking straight in front of me to avoid catching anyone's eyes I made my way toward a street that was supposed to be at least a mile away from the hospital. Tearing my eyes away from my phone at the sound of snickering, I saw a group of men older than me by a couple of years pointing non-discreetly at me. Scoffing softly, I began to pull on gloves that had the fingers cut off.
Reverting my attention back to my phone, I ignored their cat calls. That was till one of them was brave enough to walk up to me and shuffle next to me.
"Hey girlie? Where you headed? You shouldn't be walking around by yourself looking sexy like that. Why don't you let us big guys escort you. " Glancing a quick look at him and his buddies, I turned my head away and began walking a tiny bit faster.
The man gripped my shoulder and flipped me around to stumble into the middle of the rest of the guys. Laughing like hyenas, they each began to lightly poke me. Refusing to speak, I tried to shove my way through only for it to be pointless.
"Can I go? I really need to get somewhere."
Letting my words flow through one ear and out the next, they began advancing on me. Without a second thought I threw a punch at the closest face I could reach and took on running into the alley. Tripping over stray items that were hidden with the blackness, I began fearing that I wouldn't make it home. Looking back to see if they were still following, I had missed the pothole in front of me and placed my foot in it, only for it to be stuck.
'Shit! Why won't my foot come out. I can't even feel it anymore!'
"Hey I found her! She's stuck I think? This'll be easier now!" One of the many voices shouted before joining in on laughing with the others.
I felt my backpack being torn off of my back before my shirt was trying to be taken off by many hands. Clawing at whatever my hand could touch, I felt a small pleasure when I felt blood drip down my hands when it came In contact with two faces and six arms.
"Shit! She fucking clawed up my face. I can't see!" A gruff voice mumbled before being pushed away as the rest of the men began to attack my clothes. A loud hiss rattled behind the group causing everyone to freeze. Turning around, there stood a hooded figure with tanuki standing viciously at their feet. A gruff voice rang out when no one dared to take a breath.
"Shukaku. Sick 'em."
The tanuki ran forward to begin biting and slashing at what it could grab on the guys. All of them began screaming that the sand demon had come back from the grave before they took off running towards the streets. The tanuki, or Shukaku, jumped up on my lap before sniffing gingerly all over me. 'It's like he's checking to see if I'm alright.'
I didn't dare to move while the tanuki was on me in fear that it would turn on me. Apparently satisfied with whatever it found, it took off running for my bag, dragged it towards me, and then began curling around my ankle that was stuck in the hole.
"Well that's a first."
The hooded figure called out but made no move to walk forward. The person shifted from foot to foot as if deciding if they should walk forward to help or just leave me. Shukaku clearly wanted the person to help, for it ran to the person dragged on their pant leg before coming back to curl up around my neck. Gingerly reaching up, I lightly scratched behind it's ears earning a soft purr in reward.
The tanuki began to wash the blood off of my hands before I realized what it was doing. Hastly trying to wipe the blood off on my pants so the pet wouldn't get anymore, I was forcefully stopped when another pair of hands gripped mine. "Let him. He's got this weird addiction to blood. Don't move unless you want your foot to be amputated."
Nodding numbly, I raised my hands towards the big tanuki on my shoulders as I watched the hooded figure lightly pry my foot out of the whole. "Um. Thank you. For intervening I mean. I might've never seen dawn again if you hadn't stopped them." He looked up and that was when I realized that I had seen those eyes somewhere.
"It wasn't my idea. Thank Shukaku. I just followed him." Pulling his hood off, I had realize that my suspicions were correct. He was the guy from the airport that had pushed Magenta to the floor. Crawling backwards, I tried to form sentences only for me to be silenced by Shukaku weirdly. "You're the girl from the airport."Looking up from Shukaku's stare, I didn't realize that he had gotten up.
"What of it?"
Turning onto my knees I tried to stand only to fall back onto the floor. 'Damn. I think I broke my foot. Gen is going to be furious for a month.' Hissing in pain, I nearly missed the back that had invaded my line of sight.
"Climb on. I'll take you to Konoha Medical Hospital. It's the closest one and I'm heading there anyways."
Pausing to take a deep breath, I shook my head. "Why should I climb onto some guys back when I don't even know his name. Besides I'd rather hobble to the hospital than be submitted to being carried."
Sticking my tongue out, I gripped his shoulder to heave myself off the ground. "Name's Gaara Sabaku. Now yours?" "Okami Kurusu. Can you lead the way to the hospital? I've been trying to find It for the past three hours."
Nodding silently, Gaara began leading the way with me in tow holding onto his shoulder. Shukaku was still perched on my shoulder and looked pretty content with staying there. Walking slowly in silence, I tried to memorize the street names. We had barely entered the hospital when a nurse came whizzing up to us with a wheelchair.
"Gaara! There you are. Where have you been?" A loud voice echoed as I was wheeled off.
Turning slightly, I noticed that Deidara was trailing behind another guy that had a messy flop of brown hair on his head. Turning forward, I looked down and was slightly scared that Shukaku was nuzzling up against my chest purring softly.
"Shouldn't you go back to your owner, hm?" Shukaku grumbled at me and stayed put up against my chest.
Sighing, I began scratching his little fury head as I winced slightly evey time we made a sharp turn down the hall.
'Oh well. Looks like you're staying while im here. I wonder how long it'll be till they call Magenta and explain i'm stuck in the hospital.'
