Okay this what chapter 9 now. Only like a 10000 more to go lol. I'm hoping to get this entire story typed and on here but it's a lot. I've hand written this story first in a journal and although I write really big so far it's 263 pages long and I'm not quite done yet. Well I'm starting to get off topic so here's chapter 9. And thanks to everyone who's reading this and being patient with me.

Discliamer: Unfortunately I don't own Gaara or Naruto. But I do own my character Sara. Muhaha!

Chapter 9

Sara's POV

When I woke up again a guard was in the cell with me and I saw he was unlocking my chains. I still could not move. I was in no condition to fight especially if this guy had a friend waiting down the hall for him. It was too risky. He closed and locked the door behind him.

"We may be leaving soon so be ready." Then he was gone.

"Yeah right. Like Gaara is going to follow your perfect plan." I tried to stand up but I was too weak and I fell back to the hard stone. I brought my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. 'What am I supposed to do? I'm hopeless. I can't fight, but I don't want to sit here and wait for death.' I rested my head on my knees and closed my eyes. 'I'll save up my strength and the next time I strike. I can sit here and die willingly or I can go out with a bang.'

My eyes popped open. I heard a scruff of a shoe. I lifted my head waiting to see my guard. I gathered up what little strength I had and prepeared myself to attack when he came in. A cloaked figured walked in front of my cell door and stared down at me. His behavior was strange if he for just a normal guard. 'Maybe they sent someone down to check on me?' "Can I help you or are you just going to stare at me all day?" I asked weakly. Sand poured onto the floor as this stranger lifted his hood off.

"Wow, Sara you look completely pathetic. I guess it's a good thing I came to rescue you." His hood rested on his shoulders exposing his face.

"Gaara?" I asked in disbelief. His sand ripped the door of its hinges. It was loud but the large dungeon swallowed the sound. I stood slowly using the wall as help. I let out a small cry as I felt someone grab my wrist and slip a kuni-knife at my neck. Gaara's eyes narrowed with anger as a ninja appeared and forced me to take a step forward.

"Move a muscle and I slit her throat."

"Go right ahead."

"What do you mean?"

"Kill her and I kill you. I kept her for torture but I could always find someone else."

"She was not injured when we found her." stated the ninja confused.

"I like to know my victims worst fears and weaknesses so I can torture them to the extreme before I kill them. However, as I said, she is easily replaceable. Go ahead kill her if you do not value your life."

Gaara's POV

My voice sounded cold and heartless like usual. The ninja was considering my words.

"That's the reason you let me follow you home and kept me? So you could touture me. I thought you actually cared." Sara cried out I turned my cold eyes to her.

'Did she really believe that?' Tears streamed down her face. I turned my attention back to the ninja.

"So, you're saying that we kidnapped this girl for nothing. She means nothing to you but a little fun?"

"Yeah that's right." I saw Sara look down at the ground. She noticed my sand slitherng over to her and her captor. She looked at me. I was begging her to understand what I was doing. She brought her arm up quickly and knocked the kuni-knife away. The ninja was caught off guard and she escaped his grasp. My sand wrapped around him.

"Desert Coffin." Blood splattered all over the place including Sara and me. I went over to Sara's side and heard her ragged breathing. "Sara?"

"I'm fine." She collapsed. I caught her before she hit the ground. "Okay maybe not."

"What's wrong?"

"They gave me a poison that stops chakra flow and weaken my body. I didn't have enough to be in danger but it's definitely getting in the way." She gave me a weak smile.

"We should get you out of here now. Before someone comes down to check on you. Can you stand?"

"Ummm…. I don't know."

I scooped her up in my arms bridal style and carried her out. I looked down to see her green eyes shimmer up at me. I quickly looked away. She cuddled closer to my body and when I looked back down, she was asleep. 'She looks kinda cute like that.' I shook my head to clear out that thought. We were out in the cool air with darkness and the sounds of night surrounding us. "Better get out of here and find a safe place for her to rest." She tensed in my arms and I looked down at her face to see a look of pain on it. Her breathing still had not returned to normal yet.

I found a safe place far away near a lake. I laid her down gently, careful not to wake her. I took off my cloak and placed it over her to keep her warm. I walked down to the waters edge to stare at my blank reflection.

(Into Gaara's thoughts.)

"What is it about her that makes me so confused? Will I kill her now or later? When the full moon comes out, I will find out everything I need to know about her. If she runs then I will know she's like all the others and I can kill her. But if she stays maybe… I can learn to love, maybe she can teach me. Maybe I can change and become like Naruto. Then maybe I will have respect and be viewed not as a weapon or bad experiment but as a person of value. Now that I think about it that look Sara gave me before she went to sleep…no one has ever looked at me like that. She made me feel needed not for killing but for helping. Is this how Naruto feels when he protects someone precious to him? A glowing happiness. I feel…content that I have someone to look at me like that. But if she leaves at the full moon, I'll know, that I was never meant to love."

Sara's POV

I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings. I sat up and noticed the cloak on me. I put it on, stood up and drew the fabric around me, relishing in the rich velvet folding down around me. I looked around for Gaara and spied him down at the lake. 'Most of the poison must be worn out of my system by now. That's a relief.' I walked closer to Gaara. 'He looks as if he's in deep thought. I still can't believe he came for me.' I flinched in guilt. 'I should have had more faith in him. I know he's not that cold-hearted to let me die.' I walked closer and put a hand on Gaara's shoulder. I was happy to be so close to him again. He turned around and looked at me.

"Guess you're feeling better. The poisons all gone?"

"Yeah, I think so. At least I can stand on my own now." I paused. Then I threw my arms around him and buried my head in his chest. "Thanks for coming to my rescue." I felt his hands slip around my waist and pull me against him.

"No problem. I'm glad you're going to be okay." I pulled away a little and looked up at him.

"Do you mean it? You are glad?"

"Of course I do." He stared down into my eyes.

"You do mean it! You do care!" I buried my head back into his chest. "This is real. I was afraid to open my eyes to find that you rescuing me was just a dream. I was going to be left, to die all alone in the cold dark just like when my parents died."

"What happened to your parents?"

"I found that my uncle killed them but the sand village thought it was you."

"Me? Why would they think that?"

I pulled away a little and glanced aside to the ground "Because their last mission was to assinate you." my voice began to get choked up.

"I killed them?"

I shook my head as I tried to get my voice back. "No, their intention was to take you and me away from the village were we would grow up together and learn our powers together. They came to you one night to ask you to come with them but my uncle threw a kini-knife at you, and when you turned around you saw my parents and did a sand coffin on them. You didn't mean to kill them and I know that. It was my uncle's cruel intent. He had planned all of it out. I can't understand why he did it exactly but I know he was always jealous of his brother's power. My parents were the strongest clan members to ever live and he couldn't stand being second to them."

"What clan are you apart of?"

I looked at him. 'Should I tell him? What if he runs in fear of what I am?…'

"Sara, what ever clan you're apart of it can't be any worse then what I am. You can tell me."

I jerked my head in surprise. It was as if he read my mind. I took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I'm part of the Kyuuketsuki Clan." He looked at me strangely.

" Kyuuketsuki? Vampire? Why is it called that? I've never even heard it before."

" We are a dying breed, I believe that I am the last surviving member. Few of us there was but now there is no one else left. As for why it's called the Kyuuketsuki Clan that's because of the way we become more powerful…" The wind blew my hair across my face and I moved it to the side, I whispered, "The drinking of blood from others."

Well that's chapter 9. I'm typing 10-12 right now. If you have something to tell me to make my writing better then do share, but this is my first fan-fiction and I'm still learning so be nice.
