: It hurts... : A Gaara Love Story : Deep inside.. : Chapter four:
"There
you are." A spiteful voice whispered.
"You again? I
thought I was clear before, I don't want to have ANYTHING to do
with you anymore, Zabuza!" You screamed to the mist slowly
surrounding you. "Get away, you, the Devil of the Mist! Do not
mess with me! Or you'll pay!" You angrily shouted.
"Oh
we'll see about that."
Kilaru's
POV (Your POV)
"We'll see about what? I thought I made
myself clear. Get out of my life and NEVER come back! I don't want
to see your face ever again!" I growled.
"Oh, how sad.
And what will you do about it now?" Zabuza smirked.
"Oh,
but of course, I will eliminate the intruder..." I scoffed.
"I'd
like to see someone like YOU do so... show me."
"As you
WISH! AAAAHH!" I yelled as I ran at him.
He dodged my
attacks, one by one, as though they were nothing.
"Do you
really think you'll be able to avenge your eum.. what were they
again? Comrades? No.. more than that.. I remember now.. your
FRIENDS." Zabuza pricked through my shell.
"You... how
DARE you make fun of "them"?! YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES!"
I shouted as I charged at him, kunais in both hands.
I attacked
but he just kept dodging. I tricked him and appeared out of nowhere
and pricked him in the back. Blood spurted out, for he did not dodge
this time.
"You little brat.." Zabuza murmured.
"Don't
you dare insult me! You're the one who started this fight, not me!"
I shouted at him and I charged again, hitting him this time. He tried
to hit me with his sword, but I evaded it.
"Is that all
you've got, Zabuza? Cause, it ain't the case for me!" I
chanted. I regained my seriousness and performed a
jutsu.
Everlasting Nightmare no Jutsu! I thought as Zabuza got
caught in my attack.
Zabuza looked taken aback. W—what is this
jutsu?!
"DIE!" I growled at him.
Zabuza's body
went slightly limp. Hmph. Have fun, Zabuza.. In a never-ending
nightmare, that is.
His body then fell to the ground with a
'thump'.
I reached him, kunai in hand, ready to strike,
when—Suddenly, I heard movement in the trees. Kuso!!
I jumped
back, hiding in the bushes. Naruto-nii chan!? I thought as I saw
his silhouette appearing in the trees. Kuso! I forgot about Zabuza's
body!!
Naruto looked quizzically at Zabuza's limp body,
especially since drool was falling out of his mouth.
He suddenly
stiffened up.
"Who is there? Show yourself." He asked at
the bushes next to me.
Kuso...Ano... Ah! 'Summoning Jutsu! Come
forth, Mezuki, the fierce bird, Monosuke, the rabid rabbit! '
Please, help me get out of this mess!
Mezuki flew away, which
made Naruto look at her. Monosuke went out of the bush where I was
and acted like normal bunnies would do.
Naruto sighed with
relief.
I then jumped out of the bushes, too. Naruto looked
surprised.
I looked at him quizzically.
"Naruto? What are
you doing here?"
"I eum.. nothing. What about you? You
look so exhausted."
"Well, it's because I was
searching for you onii-chan!" I cheered. "I was wondering
where you were! I feel all better now!"
Naruto blushed.
"O-oh.. I see."
"By the way, Naruto... Who is the
man at your feet?" I asked him.
He looked down at the
man.
"Oh! That... well... That's Zabuza."
"Zabuza?
The Devil of the Mist? Zabuza Momochi?! Wow! You did that to him?"
I asked him.
"No, no... I just got here. He was already like
that when I arrived."
"Aww.. Don't be shyyyyy…"
I chanted with a smirk.
"I swear it wasn't me!" Naruto
cried, hand in front of his face.
"Okay, but then, who was
it? It looks like he's hurt real bad."
"I don't
know!" Naruto shouted.
"Neither do I. But that person
must be real strong!! Don't you agree?... Now what do we do with
him?" I questioned him.
"Yeah.. And eum... We should
leave him here.."
It was silent for a moment. Naruto looked
like he had something to say.
He opened his mouth. "Euh..
Kilaru-nee chan?"
"...Yeah? What is it?" I
answered.
"Are you... Are you... Are you hurt?"
"Me?
Hurt? Can't you see I'm not wounded?" I asked him
incredibly.
"NO! That's not what I meant! Are you not hurt
inside?!" He shouted at me.
"No I can't--!"
"Stop
denying it! You're hurt and you know it!"
My mind went
blank as I remembered.
+Flashback+
"Kilaru-nee chan!
Why are you smiling?" The boy asked the little girl.
"What
do you mean?" She questioned him.
"Are you serious?!
You just fell down! You scratched your knees and you're smiling!!
Doesn't it hurt?"
"No, onii-chan. It doesn't hurt at
all. Should I feel hurt?"
"Yes you should! You're
bleeding! You SHOULD be hurt!"
"Onii-chan, you're
saying that like it's a bad thing." She stated.
"B-but
sister—!" Hiro shouted.
"Onii-chan? What... what is it
like to feel hurt?" The red head asked him with wide eyes.
"Oh,
one-chan..."
"Answer me!" She retort.
"Well,
when you're hurt, you feel a stinging feeling where your wound is,
normally, and... You feel like something's wrong because the
stinging won't stop until you heal completely... But, depending on
the wound, it can heal fast or it can take a long time, sometimes
even--"
"You're gradually changing the subject,
onii-chan."
"Oh, you're right, sorry. So, it's a
stinging feeling that won't stop until you heal, sometimes it
leaves scars and sometimes it doesn't. That's it." He
finished.
"Onii-chan..?"
"Yes?"
"I
think I'm hurt... deep down.. It hurts." She said, clinging
her chest. "Here..."
"Oh sister..." Hiro
embraced me. "Don't worry, it'll heal, it'll
heal."
A little girl woke up to see her brother
smiling apologetically next to her.
I realised
something.
"Onii-chan... the hurt.. it's gone! It's gone
onii-chan!!"
The little girl smiled, and then, clutched her
chest area. Her smile broke.
"ONII-CHAN! ONII-CHAN! WHAT
HAPPENED TO ME!? IT'S GONE! ...THE.. The... beating...
onii-chan... the beating... it's...
gone... "
And the light vanished, leaving
darkness around her. She had just blacked out.
+End of
Flashback+
I looked down, my eyes plain.
"Naruto, I
can't be --"
You heard screams.
"Naruto! Kilaru!
Where are you!?" Sakura's voice reached us.
"Oh! It's
Sakura!" Naruto shouted.
"Yeah! You're right! Let's
go!" I cheered.
My eyes closed slightly. Naruto, I can't
be hurt... That's the awful truth... Sorry I never told you.
We
finally reached Sakura, and amazingly, Sasuke was with her.
I
whistled.
"Wow, what have you two been doing lately?" I
asked with a smirk.
Sakura blushed and stuttered
"N-nothing!"
Sasuke looked away, closed his eyes and simply
said, "Nothing."
"If you say so!" I
sang.
Naruto was clueless of my little joke. He hadn't
understood a simple thing.
"Teehee, let's go back at
Tazuna's house now, shall we?" I began running as soon as I
finished talking.
"W-waaiiit!" Naruto pleaded as he
started to run.
"Catch up! I'm not waiting any
more!"
Sasuke and Sakura began running as
well.
"Hiiiii Kakashi-sensei! How are you
doing?" I asked cheerily.
"Euhh... Quite fine, thank
you?"
"Great! Well, I'll be going to sleep now!"
"But
we didn't even eat dinner, you know?"
"I know, but I
already ate fruits from the forest... And I'm not hungry now.
Oyasumi (Good night)." I explained.
"Oyasumi, then."
Kakashi smiled.
I left as I heard Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke come
in.
I thought of my parents. I knew I shouldn't have,
but I couldn't resist.
It was a mistake. I should have never
been. But I did think about them.
Mom.. Such a lively, happy-go-lucky person... Unlike my father. And yet, I hated both of them... I never really did like them. I felt like... singing. So I sang.
"You lie silent there before me
Your tears they
mean nothing to me
The wind howling at the window
The love you
never gave
I give to you
Really don't deserve it
But now
there's nothing you can do
So sleep in your only memory of me
My
dearest mother
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
It
was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry
oh well
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
Goodbye
Goodbye
So insignificant
Sleeping dormant deep inside
of me
Are you hiding away lost
Under the sewers
Maybe
flying high in the clouds
Perhaps you're happy without me
So
many seeds have been sown in the field
And who could sprout up so
blessedly
If I had died
I would have never felt sad at
all
You will not hear me say I'm sorry
Where is the
light
Wonder if it's weeping somewhere
Here's a lullaby to
close your eyes good-bye
It was always you that I despised
I
don't feel enough for you to cry oh well
Here's a lullaby to close
your eyes good-bye
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes
good-bye
It was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough
for you to cry oh well
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes
good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Here's
a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
It was always you that I
despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry oh well
Here's a
lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
Here's a lullaby to close
your eyes good-bye
It was always you that I despised
I don't
feel enough for you to cry oh well
Here's a lullaby to close your
eyes good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye"
"Wow,
you can sing well." I heard.
My eyes shot open wide. He had
heard. But for how long? I wanted to leave. I should have left. I
didn't. I wanted to yell. I should have yelled. I didn't. I
wanted to go back in time. But I just couldn't.
"What do
you want, loser?" I asked Sasuke threateningly.
"What?
Can't I tell you that you can sing well?"
"Not if you
spy on me, you teme. Now go. Before I feel a certain rush to kill
you."
"If you wish. But only cause you asked. Cause,
after all, we all know you can't kill me, OR at least, you
wouldn't." Sasuke said before leaving.
I whispered, so that
he wouldn't hear, "You sure about that?"
Suddenly, I
felt sleepy. I fell on the ground, making a "thump".
