Chapter 6
Meet the Family
Previously
"Don't daydream" Naruto punched Gaara in the jaw. Or at least he would have if the sand had not got in the way.
Naruto voiced everyones' thoughts "WHAT THE HELL?"
"Are you going to stand there or are you gonna attack?"
"Aaaaghhhhh" Naruto charged at Gaara who no longer bothered to dodge. They had seen the sand, no point now.
He got tired after two minutes of Naruto trying -and failing- to land a blow on Gaara.
"Are you invincible?" Naruto gasped.
"Hmmm, maybe" Gaara was looking more insane and sent the sand to pick Naruto up by the ankles.
"GAARA STOP" Gaara snapped out of it and made his sand drop Naruto. His eyes were wide, like he didn't even realise what he had been doing. Then his cold exterior returned and he turned to look at the person who stopped him.
"Oh it's you"
"Nice greeting" The brunette commented. He kept his distance from Gaara.
"Why are you here?" Gaara asked, back to his calm self, seemingly forgetting about Naruto who was on the ground, unsure of whether he was dreaming or not.
"Can't come to see my own brother?" Kankuro chuckled nervously.
"We both know that you have never considered me your brother. The feeling is neutral but I still don't appreciate such a crappy lie" Gaara glared at his brother. Kankuro shuffled under his younger brothers' glare.
"Hey, Gaara what's going on, un?" Deidara stepped forward, she stood next to Gaara and Kankuro flinched visibly "Oi, girl step away from Gaara or you'll get hurt" He warned.
"Are you threatening me, un?" Deidara curled her gloved hands into fists and took a threatening step towards Kankuro.
"Wha? No not me-" But Kankuro never got to complete his sentence as a gloved hand connected with his face leaving a red hand print on his face.
"Hmmf, un" Deidara turned sharply around, lashing Kankuro with her golden locks. Gaara smiled sadistically, though it was only a microscopic smile. Deidara noticing this ,scowled "What are you grinning at?" She demanded.
"Nothing" Gaara said.
"I'm so confused" Kankuro confessed and everyone besides Gaara and Deidara –who were having a playful argument- nodded in agreement.
"This is so tiresome" Shikamaru complained and walked away with Choji on his heals eating a huge bag of walkers.
"What the hell is going on, losers?" Sasuke gasped, having just returned from where he had been blown away to.
"Hey, Raven" Nodded Deidara, as if she wasn't the one who blew him away "Hey, Gaara who's the dude in make up?"
"War paint!" Kankuro defended angrily.
"You and what army?" Deidara smirked
"That makes no sense!" Kankuro exclaimed
"It's a pun on the whole war thing" Deidara explained as if she was talking to a 3 year old.
"He's my brother" Gaara said as if Kankuro and Deidara weren't in the middle of a war themed argument.
"Seriously?" Sakura asked incredulously, looking between the two siblings
"Why so shocked?" Gaara asked curiously.
"Well, you two seem nothing alike" Sakura stated in a matter of fact voice.
"yea, billboard brow is right,
Gaara has –hot- red hair, Kankuro has brown hair.
Gaara is short, Kankuro is tall.
Gaara is cool and quiet, Kankuro was here two minutes and got slapped.
Gaara wears black skinny jeans and band shirts, Kankuro is wearing baggy black trousers and a hoodie" Ino explained
"So basically the only similarity is black and make-up" Sakura concluded.
Gaara and Kankuro looked at each other then at Sakura and Ino.
"Make-up?" They asked in unison. Kankuro completely forgetting who he was standing beside.
" Yea Gaara has guy-liner and Kankuro has… em well purple lines all over his face" Ino pointed out.
"Actually, this" He pointed at his eye "Is the results of not sleeping a day in my life, or rather night"
"WAR PAINT" Kankuro stated again.
"If you're Gaaras' brother how come you're not attending school here?" Shikimaru asked, having returned in time to understand what was going on.
"Kankuro and my sister Temari don't live with me and my ass of father cuz they're scared of me" Gaara said evenly.
"Hey, he's my dad too!" Kankuro scowled.
"So you know he's an ass" Gaara reasoned and Kankuro couldn't say anything.
"Why are you afraid of your little brother?" Sasuke asked.
"Did you see what he was gonna do to that blonde kid?" Kankuro asked and Gaaras' gaze was cast downward at his feet "Gaara wouldn't have hesitated to kill him. Like he wouldn't hesitate to kill me or Temari or any of you for that matter" Kankuro continued his rant and Gaara blinked back tears " He's a monster"
"What did he do to Naruto?" Sasuke asked having not been there.
"Ha! It was nothing I was just faking before making a surprise comeback, BELIEVE IT!" Naruto was back on his feet.
"Don't call Gaara a monster!" Deidara yelled. She had seen the pain in Gaaras' eyes. It wasn't unfamiliar to her "Do you even know him?" She asked and Gaara kept his eyes on the ground.
"Of course I know hi, more than you do!" Kankuro bit out.
"If you knew him. If you really knew him you wouldn't call him a monster, you would see how much it hurts to be called a monster, a freak. You don't even live with him and you think you know him?" Deidara ranted at Kankuro who was sinking back at each word. Gaara who had looked up somewhere in Deidaras' rant placed his hand on Deidaras' shoulder.
"It's okay. I'm used to it" Gaara smiled at her but it was a sad smile "Besides, he's probably right. I'm a monster, but Kankuro you don't know me and you've never tried to. If you did you would know that I hate when innocent things are killed" With that Gaara and Deidara walked away from the group. Gaara didn't care why Kankuro was there. The only thing that went through his mind is
I'm a monster, what if I had killed him? Why is Deidara still friends with me now that she knows I'm a disgusting freak? Why?
Deidara broke his thoughts " Gaara, what the hell was that? I want to know everything, the sand, your brother, your dad, everything" Gaara sighed. He should have known that he wasn't going to get off that easy.
