Tin tun tin tun tun! The sounds of various machines filled the air and left little if any moment of silence in between them Gaara didn't like it, it was better when everything was quiet, he could let his mind drift.
He couldn't sleep, no that was impossible for him, but the silence gave him the illusion of sleep, but that illusion was shattered when he showed up.
That boy with the brown hair, the one that didn't go on any proper mission, but stayed inside the village, for the briefest of moments Gaara believed that maybe just maybe he could reach out to him and say hi.
But as always the reality of the world brought whatever hopes he had to ruin.
Someone was watching the brown-haired boy that for whatever reason chose to wear green clothes in the desert, at first Garra thought that it was another spy or assassin that his father sent to kill him, so he waited for the ninja to make her move, but she never did.
No, she always watched him.
"Kazuma, what made him so important?" Gaara thought to himself, ever since then Gaara thought to himself, when had he thought this, he didn't remember, the days always blended into each other.
It didn't matter, even if he watched Kazuma whenever he was in the village and not on a mission, every day like a fool Kazuma would go take low, no low-level jobs paid enough to buy food, and what Kazuma was getting was even lower than that.
Then it happened, Gaara remembers that day, he had just gone back to the empty park, that place that was always quiet, but it wasn't quiet this time.
No the ninja that was always watching Kazuma was training him.
That wasn't right, only clans trained their kids, only the academy-trained ninjas that didn't have special bloodlines so what made Kazuma so special?
So Gaara watched, he watched as the woman attacked and Kazuma avoided her every time.
Why was he not attacking?" Gaara thought to himself, why is he only running away? Why are they smiling? Is he a threat?" Do they think he's special?
Why does he get special training? Why does he get to smile?" why? why whyw why why whwhhwwyyyyywwhhyywyhyhwhwhyyyyyuyy?
WHY Doesn't he just die!?
So Gaara watched as the pair happily played together but he kept his distance because of the crowd that had gathered and he went back to watching Kazuma run around like an idiot.
From time to time he would throw something at the Boy in Green and Gaara would watch Kazuma avoid it and sometimes he would even throw it back.
Gaara stepped back and allowed a group of children to walk past him, they were weak and it was meaningless for him to kill them, they weren't a threat.
Gaara placed his thumb on his lip and remembered the ball of sand that he had thrown at Kazuma and Kazuma had thrown back at him.
As usual, Gaara made the sand scatter before it could hit him, but this time it was different, this time there was a small bubble of water inside the sand.
Gaara can still remember being hit, it didn't hurt, in fact, Kazuma's attack didn't do anything, but he had managed to hit him.
So Gaara waited for Kazuma's test, he didn't know when it was going to happen or what kind of test it would be, but there was always a test and it would be then that Gaara would kill him.
Kazua was a threat, maybe it had been a lucky shot, but something as small as this could get anyone killed.
Gaara watched s Kazuma walk past him, the crowd made sure that Kazuma couldn't see him and even if the girl that he was ordered to retrieve was with him, she was so distracted by everything around her that she didn't even notice him.
He watched as a pair of women walked behind the two targets, Gaara would have laughed but that was pointless, there was no room for laughter in his world, that was just an illusion left behind in the sands of the desert.
Gaara watched as the four walked amongst the crowd and bumped into people without a care, Gaara remembered the day of the test and how he nearly succeeded in getting his revenge, but no Kazuma had to prove that he could fight back.
Gaara smiled but his smile didn't have any joy instead it was filled with malice, first he would force Kazuma to summon the ble woman again, then he would kill her in front of him and he would torture Kazuma for humiliating him twice.
Gaara steped forward.
