Okay now here's chapter 10. I thank everyone who continues to read my attempt to write fan-fiction. If you find my writing really confusing tell me so I know if I can fix anything to help everyone.
Chapter 10
Still Sara's POV
"My clan's ability is to be able to learn any jutsu from the blood of others. We drink from the person, we instantly learn what hand symbols to do, and we can easily master that jutsu. We can also master special jutsus such as the Sharingan and Byakugan. Even though these are special traits that only members of the Uchiha and Hyuuga clan can master members of the Kyuuketsuki clan can master them as well through the drinking of their blood. I can even master your jutsus Gaara. All I have to do is drink some of your blood. And to drink blood our canine teeth grow long and sharp for easy access. In addition to learning jutsus, if we find someone with a specific talent, such as incredible speed, we can acquire this through their blood. And these special jutsus are passed down along with speed and stamina from parent to child. Therefore, we have a large book of jutsus that we know and each generation becomes more powerful than the last. This is what makes the Kyuuketsuki clan members so powerful."
"Your parents left you to find out so much on your own?"
"No, no you see my parents knew that I would need help controlling these powers but they wanted you and me to grow up together, to learn our powers side by side. That was their dream. So that even though we were different we knew we always had each other. They sympathized with you because you were a child who wasn't born with innocence but a burden that no one should have to carry. I'm not saying that demons are burdens, the Kyuuketsuki Clan respects them, but for a child have to deal with all that power at birth. It's unheard of, yet now there are nine other people like you. The Jinchuriki, thought of by people of evil intent. They wanted to control the demons power through a human. And so you and many others became victims of this insane quest for power. You have Shakaku in you, the sand demon. My parents saw the way you were treated and had planned in taking you away from harsh comments to live where their love showered you. I was to always be by your side giving you support. This is what my parents dreamed of, but it was to perfect to be true. This noble dream was crushed by my uncle. My uncle volunteered my parents to kill you but his plan was to kill them and leave you to take the blame. He threw the kunai-knife and when you turned you saw my parents. Jealousy is so wicked." I wiped a tear off my cheek. "And with my parents dead I thought I had no where to go, but then I learned of my uncle and I was assigned to him. At the time, I did not know it was him that killed my parents and neither did anyone else. And as an innocent child who was lost in grief I went with him. My uncle hated me and I didn't know why. He locked me up and I was all alone. Soon everyone forgot I existed and I was slowly dieing of that accursed disease called loneliness. I guess my uncle wanted to rid himself of me but couldn't bring himself to kill an innocent child. So locked away I was. Soon I could not stay locked in that room any longer. I snuck out at night and oh, I felt so happy to breathe fresh air and be out. One night I went to my parent's old house and in their bedroom, I found, in the corner of their closet hidden away under clothes, a box of scrolls. Inside they told me all about my clan and every jutsu I could master. I was overjoyed. I brought them back to my uncles and hid them away safely. Then starting there, every night I crept out of the house and trained. I learned every jutsu, no, I perfected every jutsu. I was so confident in my abilities. It took me 5 years but it was well spent.
Then on the night of my tenth birthday something strange happened. All day I was not feeling like myself, I was out training that night and my uncle came into my room and saw I was not there. Enraged he awaited my return to punish me. So when I came in the window he pounced. I didn't expect an attack and I was caught off guard. He grabbed my arm and slammed me into the wall. Then he plunged a kuni-knife deep into my heart. Pain shot through my body but instead of falling down dead, something frightening happened. For you see, a prophecy was given on the day the original leaded of the Kyuuketsuki Clan died. A child would be born, a reincarnation of this goddess like leader. I was to be the reincarnation of this leader of the Kyuuketsuki Clan, but something happened. A soul that powerful couldn't be controlled by me, a small innocent child. So she laid dormant inside me until my tenth birthday but then on the night of my 10th birthday, a night of a full moon, she was set free. And with my uncle's luck, he stabbed me and he was the first to see the awakening. The scene was terrible sight to behold. I transformed into a strawberry blonde, blue-eyed girl. My uncle's face was frozen in terror as he saw this and he stumbled back from me. I wasn't there in my body but floating somewhere else, in a state consciousness of some sort. That night I learned how to use my fangs. I sank them into my uncle's neck and drank him dry. After that, I returned to a more aware state and saw his corpse in my arms. I stumbled back and then hurried out of the house. I was terrified of what I was and what I could do. I felt my other side begin to take over again and I again slipped under into a barely aware state. I was a tsuihousha (outcast) from then on, and I ran from the sand village far, far away." I shifted my weight so I sat a little closer to him. I laid my head on his shoulder.
"Are you going to bite me and get all my jutsus?"
I jerked my head away insulted by his comment. I felt rage building up, threatening to erupt at any second. "Why would I do that?" My hands balled up into fists as I asked this.
"I don't know. Just thought you wanted to try it. You can if you want to."
I pulled away from looking at him suspiciously. "You're offering?"
"Yeah, I am. I thought that being bitten by a beautiful girl couldn't be that bad."
I watched him in disbelief as he looked up at the top of the trees. "You're offering your blood and giving me compliments. Who are you and what have you done with Gaara?"
"What? I can't be nice once in awhile?"
I smiled and shifted so I sat on top of him with my legs to the side of his hips. My hands cradled his face while I stared into his icy blue eyes. "Do you trust me?"
"Always."
Gaara's POV
"Always."
She leaned forward and brushed her lips over the base of my throat. I felt the stinging pain as her fangs penetrated my skin, but it was quickly replaced with a feeling of delight and happiness. I was floating on a cloud and my eyes closed as I fully enjoyed this feeling running through my body. A sigh of satisfaction escaped my throat. Soon I felt her move away. I opened my eyes slowly.
"That was amazing."
She smiled at my comment then returned to my side. She placed her head on my shoulder again.
"Hey Sara?"
"Hmmm?"
"If you have such a power in you, then how did you get kidnapped so easily by those low-life shi-obi?" She lifted her head off my shoulder and I turned to look at her. I saw that she was blushing. She looked away from me.
"Well that night was a new moon and that is when I am at my weakest. At the full moon I am the strongest and the new moon I'm weak. I was also distracted by the way you treated me. I was not thinking clearly and I turned my back to them for not even a second. I know, I know that was really stupid, but it didn't occur to me that they would knock me out and then use me as bait to lure to them. I'm sorry I put you through all that trouble."
"It's quite all right." The night sounds overlapped our silence. The crickets chirped away and the owls hooted. I stared at the moon. "Sara," I whispered, "what will you do when it's the full moon and Shakaku comes out?"
"I'm not going to leave you, if that's what you're asking."
"But he will want blood when he comes out and I will be asleep so I'll have no control over his actions."
"Gaara, I will change too and I will be a blood-thirsty vampire. Not to mention a very strong bloodthirsty vampire. I will control myself enough not to kill you, but if you were to attack me… well that might not end up to well for you. But Shakaku knows this and he will most likely leave me alone."
"But-" she cut me off
"Gaara, it's nice that you worry for my safety and all but you're beginning to make it a habit. I'll be all right. So stop being so worrying."
I was still unsure of this. I had just met this girl and now I wasn't letting her go so easily. I almost lost her once to that ninja back in the dungeon, but still she was right, I need not concern myself.
"Fine, I'll try."
"Okay great, now that's out of the way, I need to stop to return a… favor, on the way back to the Sand Village. You're welcome to come along."
"Okay I'll come but, who are we visiting, and where is it we are stopping at?"
"I'll tell you later but for now I'll go to sleep, I'm so tired…" she closed her eyes and I watched her slip into a deep slumber.
I stroked her hair and stared at her perfect sleeping form. I moved her so that she laid in my lap and her body stretched out beside me. (Into Gaara's sweet thoughts of Sara. How cute.P) "Maybe she can teach me to love. Maybe I already love her. Does that make me weak? She said she was okay with what I am, but how could she? I'm a monster. How could she ever learn to love something like me? If she ran away from me, I think that would be the biggest wound I'd ever received. If she were to die by my hand, how would I deal with it? Maybe I'll just have to wait and see, and if she runs from me, I'll know that I was never meant to love. Love. What a complicated emotion it is." I notice a tear trickle down Sara's rosy cheeks. Her expression turned from absolute peace to one of fear and worry.
"I wonder what she's dreaming about." I wiped off the tears off her face.
Okay if you don't get some stuff I'm sorry. I was trying so hard to fix a lot of things. Chapters 11 and 12 might be confusing too. I had to fix some of the story line which is why it took me a long time to put up chapter 9 too. Well now I'll work typing my next few chapters. Tune in next time to read another exciting chapter of Gaara and Sara! lol.
