---------------------Chapter 14--------------------------
It wasn't hard to find this Inu girl, she was in her weaponry. Gaara patiently waited until she closed up for the night. Gaara smiled because it was already way past night fall and he now he wouldn't have to worry about other people hearing… only demons stayed up this late… demons or angels.
Gaara stayed a few feet away from the girl as she walked down the many halls that lead to the outside. Her new black cape flowing behind her as she kept the hood over her head shading her eyes.
As she got outside she stopped turning slightly.
"Who are you and why are you fallowing me?"
-----------
Tuyen couldn't sleep, something was bothering her, or rather Gaara. When he had taken her to see the sunset that night he didn't seem like himself. This worried Tuyen.
'Maybe something happened and he's sad… UG it's so hard to tell with him…maybe he's mad at something… maybe I did something that angered him…OH NO WHAT DID I DO!!! I should find him!' slowly she sat up glancing over to the other bed where her roommate slept; the Uchiha was sleeping pretty soundly since he had just gotten back from a pretty tiring mission. Quietly she slipped out of bed and snuck toward the door picking up a few weapons as she went 'yah I'll just take a quick look around and then go back to bed' she told herself.
--------------
Gaara walked out into the moon light, not that it mattered to the blind girl since she couldn't see him anyway. Slowly Gaara raised his hand and Inu's head jerked up as she heard the almost silent sound of rushing sand. Quickly she pulled out a Katana from the pack she always had started to her belt.
"So I'm guessing this is Gaara of the Sand:
"Yes"
'Dang what does he want!' her mind screamed "So why are you attacking me?"
"Orders"
"And what where those orders exactly?"
"To kill you" the girls blind eyes widened at this curt remark
'Oh not good Inu… your going to need to think your way out of this one.' Her sharp ears picked up the sound of the sand coming closer. Jumping back she barely dogged the sand as it shot toward her "Sorry but I'm really not ready to die yet" she yelled throwing the Katana at the boy. She knew that his sand would stop it but a plan was starting to form in her mind.
--------------
'Well he wasn't in his room so where could he be…' Tuyen thought as she walked down the hall from Gaara's room 'maybe this is a stupid idea… I should just go back to my room, besides last time I was out late I got into big trouble.' At this she stopped then she shook her head 'No! How selfish can you get!!! If Gaara's not in his room that means he's all alone somewhere… he needs me!' weather Gaara really needed her or not this thought gave Tuyen a new sense of determination and with that she ran off
-------------------
"Shrap!" Inu hissed (that's my new word) as she landed from another attack quickly she pulled out some needles as she kept trying new ideas and calculating their results in her quick mind. Throwing the needles she back flipped into the air Knowing even before she herd it that the needles wouldn't get past Gaara's sand shield
"They aren't going to get threw to me" Gaara said silently as he raised his hand. Inu herd the sound of sand rushing toward her quickly she dodged his attack and landed where Gaara's head should have been but only to meet a wall of sand.
"Forgive me for trying" she replied as she back flipping off. And threw 4 more needles then ran right throwing a katanan. Hearing a rush of sand Inu ran toward it head first, leaping over it at the last minute and drop kicking at Gaara managing to hit him even if it wasn't that hard. Smiling Inu jumped back again pulling out more various weapons along with some explosive; Lighting one she started her next volley of attacks.
'just keep him on the defense'
-------
Sasuke was running down the hall toward the weaponry and stopped at the door trying the handle "Dart it locked!! She must have left already" he gasped turning. "Where does she live anyway?" he asked himself as he franticly took off down the hall again "Hold on Inu" he muttered
-Flash back-
Sasuke was coming back from another late training when some talk from 2 of Orochimaru's ninjas caught his attain.
"Man look at this crap I need to get my whole pouch of weapons fixed" one complained "hey do you think Inu's still up?" the other snickered
"Haven't you heard? Kabuto hired Gaara to take care of her… I guess she just crossed the line to many times" the other shook his head
"Man I know she's a little cocky but she really knew how to fix up weapons not like those half wits who wouldn't know a needle from a Shi… darn it"
"Oh well I'm sure you'll find someone. You could always go to…."
That's all Sasuke herd as he dashed off to warn the smith.
----------------
Inu landed smelling smoke. Standing up she hoped to small a little blood in there but she didn't "Darn…" she muttered biting her bottom lip "hey Gaara you still in tacked?" suddenly she herd Gaara behind her and felt a blast of sand knock in 5 feet into the air. Quickly she twisted in midair and landed on her feet smiling. She had smelt it… blood. It was only a little, maybe only a scratch but it gave the young girl hope.
Maybe she wouldn't die after all.
----------------
-Flash back-
"He's not a monster you know"
Inu turned to look at the brunet that stood across from her in a stance.
"Who Gaara?" her student nodded
"I think if people say something enough about you that you just start to believe it"
Inu shrugged "Maybe your right, but I don't think that's the whole reason Gaara acts the way he does" Tuyen looked confused then shook her head
"You're wrong Inu, A heartless monster would never have looked out for me so many times." Inu snickered
"Well even monsters have weaknesses, oh careful you're slipping" Tuyen quickly corrected herself but her mind was trying to understand what Inu had meant by her comment…
-end-
Something was making Tuyen feel slightly worried. The last time she had this feeling the sound ninja's had suddenly attacked killing so many of her people and taking her cousin. She couldn't really explain it but something was going to happen… something really bad.
'oh Gaara where are you!!!'
--------------------------
Inu back flipped as Gaara kept sending sand blasts at her 'that's it Inu just keep moving' she told herself as she started running. Quickly she started making some hand seals as she leapt into the air.
"Let's see how you like this!!" with a poof of smoke about 14 Inu's along with hundreds of weapons rained down on Gaara.
The sand master pulled himself into a sand cocoon. This girl was proving to be harder then he had thought but he would still win. With a unearthly scream he let his cocoon explode sharp peaces of sand flying toward the girl who was already falling toward the boys attack and didn't have time to doge it.
Inu let out a cry of pain as the sand pierced her ankle 'not good' she thought as she landed awkwardly. Gently she touched her freshly cut wound, blood already oozing out of it. The purple haired girl couldn't have been more right. Shukaku had smelled blood and woke up.
Bang
Gaara became a whole new person. Slowly a wild smile slowly made its way across his face as his breathing started to get jagged. When Inu herd it she knew what was going on.
"Oh God help me"
-----------
Sasuke had checked all the places he knew of where slaves lived and he still hadn't found the girl he was looking for "Darn you Inu where are you!!!" he muttered as he passed the eating hall going toward the south courtyard.
-------------
Tuyen stopped for a minute to catch her breath half of her still trying to talk her into going back to her room while the other half was yelling at her to keep running. Slowly she grained her composure and got back up and took off running again silently thanking Inu for helping her keep in shape.
Little did she know that the very girl she was thinking of was in big trouble.
----------------
"Get up!!!" Inu's mind screamed as Gaara walked closer to her. Quickly, but carefully because of her now busted ankle, Inu scrambled up hearing the sound of Gaara's sand attacks flying toward her. Inu jumped out of the way landing painfully on her wounded foot. Letting out a grunt of pain the purple haired girl threw another explosive.
'that's is keep him on the de…' a blast of sand hit her from behind pushing her off her feet and leaving her laying face down in the mud 'run, run, run' her mind kept repeating as she forced herself up just dogging another attack from Gaara. Suddenly Inu tasted something terrible in her mouth… blood…'oh Shrap I'm coughing up blood!'
"Gaara please!!!" she chocked out 'come on Gaara don't let Tuyen down' but the redhead didn't even seem to hear her as he attacked her. Inu was hit full force on her shoulder with a pop it dislocated; pain shooting threw her entire body. Inu screamed from the immense pain. She fell to the ground unable to move at all. Her head was throbbing and her body hurt so much… it took all her will power to even hear Gaara summing all his sand to himself for one final attack
'This is it' Inu thought 'I'm really going to die… sorry Tuyen… sorry Sasuke…sorry Dad…'
----------------
As Tuyen was running she saw a flash of red 'there he is!' she thought haply running toward the doors that lead outside… suddenly she herd Inu scream with pain.
'What….what's going on?'
----------------
Sasuke froze as he herd the girl he was looking for scream "Inu… OH NO!!!" he yelled running toward the sound…
------------
Inu hung her head preparing herself for death. This was it, she was going to die. Even though she tried to shut it all out her well trained ears could still hear the sand rushing toward her… soon the beating of her own heart shut everything out… in fact it was so loud it almost sounded like footsteps… That's funny…
"NO!!!" the sound of sand crashing into something and the smell of more blood… Inu felt a body slump down in front of hers well as the sound of heavy breathing. Since she was still in so much pain and shock Inu had not idea who had saved her but who ever it was is knew that he or she had just jumped in front of Gaara's final strike and saved her life.
------------
Gaara smiled pulling all the sand toward himself getting ready for his final strike… then with a simple hand motion he sent the sand flying. Suddenly her herd someone running right in front of his attack blocking it from the girl.
"NO!!!!"
That voice…
-----------
Tuyen froze as she saw Inu fall her shoulder bent in a funny angle and blood dripped from her mouth. Her blind eyes stared wide forward with pain and fear. 'GAARA WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!' her mind cried she had to stop him!! Gaara had already started to call the sand to himself. Tuyen has seen this attack before and she knew that he was going to attack again… as he let the sand fly everything that Inu had taught her took over. With out thinking she ran out toward her blind teacher.
"NO!!!!" She cried running in-between the sand and Inu. Getting into a defense position she took the sand attack head on.
The force knocked her back making her fall only a few meters in front of the girl she was trying to defend. Blood dripping down from her arms.
--------------------
Gaara stood there shocked as Tuyen stood up, her arms bleeding from his attack. Her aqua eyes where slowly filling with tears "G…Gaara why?" she asked her voice sounding hurt as well as confused. Gaara looked away his feelings confusing him. Shukaku was now telling him to just kill them both but for some reason Gaara couldn't even look up "Why?" she asked again. Gaara's teal eyes slowly met her aqua ones for a moment then he looked away.
"Because this is who I am, I'm a monster"
"No that's not true!! I know you!!! You've saved my life so many times!!!" she was crying now "you're not a monster!! YOUR NOT!!!' slowly she started to walk toward him her hand slightly out stretched as if she was approaching a wooded animal and was trying to gain its trust.
"Gaara…"
"You're wrong!" Gaara hissed turning his back on her "you don't know me at all" and with that he teleported away.
---------
Sasuke ran into the court yard as Gaara teleported away. A girl…. If he remembered correctly her name was Tiyen or something like that, was standing there her hand slightly out as tear slowly rolled down her cheek. Franticly he looked around the court yard for the girl he had been looking for all night. His heart stopped as he saw her lying on the ground. Quickly he ran toward her.
"INU!!!" he yelled. To his relief she groaned and stirred slight.
The smith had been able to pop her shoulder back into place while Tuyen had been talking to Gaara. But there was still so much pain she could hardly move at all. When he had heard Sasuke call out she groaned and stirred slightly. Suddenly she felt the Uchiha at her side.
"Hey Kid" she chocked out as she felt Sasuke kneel beside her, then she herd Tuyen come up next to her as well.
"Inu are you ok?" she asked gently touching her. The smith smiled weakly.
"I'm alive thanks to you"
On a roof top a person watched silently as Sasuke and Tuyen helped Inu up… slowly he left holding some valuable information about 4 young slaves that would help him greatly in the future.
