Falling On
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I do own Kumo Dokusatsu, Keo Soma and Rio Soma
Song: falling On
Artist: Finger Eleven
The Sccubii flew above the trees, droping flaming leaves and drops of liquid on the ground.
Screams.
Flames.
Shots fired.
"Demon!"
More screams.
That was when the Sccubii heard his voice.
"What do you think you're doing Kumo?"
The flying Sccubii whipped around to a flying Gaara on a sand pedestal.
There at his feet as a Naruto tied up in sand.
"YOU BOTH ARE MONSTERS!" Naruto snarled, ripping this way and that, trying to get out.
"You would love for me to be a nightmarish monster, then you could close your eyes and I would be gone... only in your head." The Sccubii mocked him before going still as sand pierced her heart.
Her eyes went wide as the blood began to drip from her mouth.
"It's only in my head" A strange voice...
It was Kumo.
Fighting to come out.
"You stupid child, no one wants you, they all betrayed you... stay out of this"
"Don't talk about... Me without them... you... you're only in my head"
Tears of blood began to drip from the Sccubii's eyes.
"WEAK FOOL!" It cried as suddenly Kumo was pushing from the bleeding wound and suddenly she fell from the creature who glared.
"DON'T YOU LEAVE ME!" The wicked thing cried, grabbing Kumo by the arm.
Screams...
Gaara went wide eyed as Kumo screamed as her arm was dislocated while the creatures flipped her into the air and raced off with the screaming Kumo.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?" Naruto snarled only to yelp as he was dropped like a piece of cheese on the ground.
Gaara raced.
He couldn't let Kumo be in the hands of the creatures.
She had to forgive him.
He would admit it, he was selfish.
He wanted Kumo for himself, she had to forgive him, smile at him and hug him again.
Gaara knew he had a problem, he was confused.
He was lost in someone.
And she was terrified at just the thought of Gaara.
She was also being carried away by a giant black winged creature of nightmares.
Why did the Sccubii want Kumo?
Didn't all demons just want to be free, why was this demon holding onto Kumo?
Gaara followed closely only to find Kumo laying ontop of a tree, crying and covered in blood as the Sccubii flew over head.
It seemed to be freaking out.
It would come down and try to help Kumo only to scratch her and open a new wound and jump back, pleading to Kumo.
Was... was the creature in love with Kumo?
Gross...
Disgusting...
"KUMO!" Gaara shouted, speeding to her side and pulling her into his embrace.
"Gaara....?" she mumbled, pushing from him weakly and sitting in pain filled misery.
Her face eyed him over and almost seemed to lighten up before flashing.
Fear.
Pain.
Betrayl.
Her face filled with pain and fear as she pushed his chest from her,
"Go away!" She screeched.
"But..." Gaara mumbled, looking at her before glaring at the Sccubii who was glaring back.
"You!"
Gaara stood, turning to the Sccubii who bared it's teeth.
"Leave!" It hissed, pushing past him and sitting beside Kumo.
"We don't need you!" It added, looking to Kumo who looked back and smiled weakly before falling back in a faint.
"KUMO!" Both Gaara and the Sccubii cried, racing after her.
"Don't touch her" Gaara spat, his sand grabbing her softly and bringing her to him but the Sccubii slashed the sand and caught Kumo.
"You don't deserve her... you're the reason her life is hell"
"PROVE IT" Gaara shouted, feeling emotions he never had before.
"You killed her parents, left her to be called a demon"
"She wouldn't be a demon if you left her"
"I DID NOTHING BUT WATCH" it spat.
"Exactly... you did NOTHING, you didn't protect her, and I finally am repaying the debt I didn't knew I owed, you still sat ignorantly inside her body, making her suffer!" Gaara snapped, his sand ripping Kumo into his arms as he pushed bloody hair from her face.
"Why don't you two stop fighting and take her to a doctor, fight there... let the poor girl live"
Both looked down to an old man in the Hokage's uniform.
Gaara glared but followed after him, holding the unconscious Kumo to his chest.
People were putting out fire as the ANBU followed the two following the Hokage.
They could only stay by the sidelines as Gaara let the doctors have Kumo before turning to the Sccubii.
That's when Gaara saw Naruto running at them.
The Sccubii grabbed the blonde by the neck and yanked him up off his feet.
"Well, isn't it the betraying best friend" The Sccubii sneered.
"Betrayed who?" Naruto choked, pushing on the arm to keep from hanging himself.
"You let Kumo down, you tried to kill her"
Suddenly it registered in Naruto's head and his face filled with regret and surprize.
"YOU'RE LYING!" Naruto cried, falling from the grip of the Sccubii.
His neck had scratch marks all over it but it was healing.
His Blond hair all smudged with dirt and blood.
His face covered in soot.
Gaara probably looked the same.
"I wish her... he... it was" Gaara stated stammered, confused what to call it.
"Silence Mortal" It growled only to have ANBU show their faces and the demon cooled itself, glaring at Gaara.
"I am a she, of course" The Sccubii stated.
"And why do you still hold onto Kumo?" Gaara snarled.
"I love Kumo, she is my life, my exsistance and once she is of age I will transform her into a Sccubii... a broken hearted person bent on revenge always makes a hell demon even better"
"You won't touch Kumo!" Naruto snarled, grabbing at his sack only for ANBU to be right beside them.
"Why don't we break up this party" One of the ANBU stated only to be forced outside of a barrier made by the Sccubii.
"This is a private matter, leave us" It hissed only to start being choked by sand.
"You will never have Kumo" Gaara growled, only for it to smirk and disappear in a whisp of smoke.
"Watch me..." It whispered and floated in the air as Kumo came walking out of the hospital with a sling and bandages on.
"So... Naruto... where am I?" Kumo whispered, smiling at Naruto sweetly before turning and seeing Gaara and a bright smile exploded from her face.
"GAARA!" She cried, jumping on him and giving him a great bear hug,
"Kumo?" Gaara whispered, holding her tightly before sighing and taking a long whiff of her.
"So you don't remember?" Naruto asked, looking at Kumo who looked at him confused.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, us attacking you, you turning into a Sccubii, and nearly dying..."
"You're crazy... I was just in my room a few minutes ago... I remember someone having my head for a reward, but it was probably just a joke" Kumo explained, laughing completely lost from the things Naruto had said.
"Kumo.... lets just go home" Gaara whispered, eyeing the air before looking to Kumo with a soft look.
"You have a haunted house to host tomorrow"
"OH POLLY WOG! THE HAUNTED HOUSE!" Kumo cried, racing down the street, completely oblivious to the dark creature watching her from the roof of the Hokage building.
This will set the main conflict in the story in stone. Gaara was her parents murderer, the Sccubii has more than an Attachment to Kumo, and it's going to be a struggle for Kumo's affection.
