Fear,

Gaara's Point Of View

Kusota had blood on her, what had happened? Why did she hurt herself? What is going on! I was surprised and I don't know what to think of her anymore. She didn't look or act like the Kusota I know, was she an imposter? I can't face her now, I don't think I want to.

Kusota/Hateshi's point of view

Again, another morning. I can't feel the warmth or the happiness of the singing birds anymore. I'm too far gone for that, too far-gone for anything. I wish the days could go faster, they seem eternities long. I opened my eyes to face the sun with a sickly face. I had washed the blood off my face and hands but I could still sense it there even though I couldn't see it. I sat up, breathing in the oxygen. I didn't have a taste for anything but I must go on. I had sworn that after The Forbidden are all killed, I will die.

I took a shower in attempts to fully discard myself from the disgusting smell of blood. Even after an hour of cleaning, I could smell it. I didn't bother to go to school so before Mahaku could wake up, I walked out of the house. I walked around aimlessly for as long as I could remember. Without realizing, I came upon a park. It seemed familiar but the memory was hidden far into my heart.

I touched the swings with my hand, trying to remember the park. It made me upset that I couldn't remember so I walked away from the park. I walked up the familiar streets I couldn't remember seeing. No, I remembered but the memories were locked away.

I walked on until I saw the sun was setting, I went home and raced before someone could ask where I was. I grabbed my cloak and my sword; another member might come today. I shouldn't be near the house when I was fighting. By the time, I had arrived at my previous fighting area, it was night. As expected, I saw a cloaked figure walking towards me, his or her's hood was up. I had my hood down; I didn't see a point for it.

An image of my opponent's face didn't flash through my head. I knew it wasn't Rosuto but I wasn't exactly sure who it was. The figure didn't speak but instead just rushed at me with a silver blade. It was a broad sword that could overcome almost any sword if fought head to head. The sword gave away the figure's identity almost immediately, it was Hitori that wielded the Cross Bow sword. Even though the girl had a slender figure, she had incredible strength. I dodged her attempted slash at me and I tried to strike while she was doubling back. I found that wasn't going to work when she swiped at me with speed and her blade touched my cheek softly. Blood dripped down my cheek and I saw she was toying with me. She obviously thought I wasn't fit or dangerous enough to have lead at all.

I ran at her and decided to test her true strength with her heavy sword. Our swords clashed, her sword was over-powering me by the pure weight of it. I held on with both hands and pushed her away. That gave me enough time to call the darkness. The shadows were beginning to come towards me.

"I'm not giving you time to call the darkness!" Hitori called out.

She then came at me with her sword, which called for the use of both of my hands.

'Damn it! I need one hand to call upon the darkness!'

I tried to face her without the darkness, I came at her and she kept dodging and dodging. I couldn't even hit her. I realized she was trying to tire me out. I needed the help of the darkness so I ran as far away as I could. Hitori didn't come after me, she didn't figure out my plan. I was calling the darkness with both hands, to quicken its arrival. I closed my eyes, praying for defense. When I opened my eyes, ready to attack with shadows, Hitori's blade turned to a broad side and slammed against the side of my head. I blacked out almost instantly, I felt the floor. I saw Hitori's eyes inside her hood.

Her eyes were full of malice.

Gaara's Point of View

Kusota hadn't come to school today. I was walking towards her house to knock some sense into her even though she wasn't the person I once knew. I wanted to find out what was wrong. It had…frightened me. I saw her walking towards a building then stopping as someone who wore the same cloak as her stepped almost out of no where and confronted her. I noticed Kusota and the stranger both had swords in their hands.

"What the hell is going on?" I whispered.

They began to fight, Kusota received a small cut on her cheek but I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Why were they fighting with swords? The stranger called out something and it sounded like a girl. They both almost flashed before me, their speed was so intense. Finally, I saw Kusota run away and stand still. When she opened her eyes, the strange girl had hit her head fiercely. Kusota fell and I almost came out of the alley I was hiding in to rescue her. Then the girl called out to me,

"Do you want to rescue her?"

I was astounded at the fact she noticed me. I came out of the alley, walking into the moonlight. I saw she was taller and older than both Kusota and I. I guessed she was around 17. I didn't answer the girl, who did she think she was?

"Who the hell are you?" I asked.

The last thing I remember is the strange girl chuckling before she slammed the flat side of her sword against my head.

In Kusota/Hateshi's Point of View

I gripped my head in pain and flickered my eyes open. My vision came slowly at first but the pain in my head was indescribable. I was in a bed, in a room. I was back in the room I woke up from with Kashaku at my side. Only this time, I was alone in the room.

But I was back in the dimension where my name was Hateshi and I was in The Forbidden's Home.
