Chapter 2
The day was long and boring; it dragged on like amber sap flowing down a tree trunk. I just wanted it to finish, it's been a month since our attack on the Leaf Village and here we were trying to implement a truce. Orochimaru had killed our Kage and took his place, making us join forces with the sound ninja to attack the Leaf. I stared out from the top most window of the Kage's tower, yes; they had lost their Kage too. I stood there unmoving, the breeze tugging playfully at my clothes as I reflected on my past actions; I had almost killed the pink haired girl and the Uchiha boy. Silently as the breeze which toyed with me I thanked Naruto for showing me a better way to live. It was hard to change; the blood lust of the Shukaku still overwhelmed me. I clenched my hand to my chest and looked at the sky, the full moon would be here tonight and the blood lust would wreck havoc over me again. I need to be strong like Naruto, I need to be strong and fight it, no more giving into the beast which resided within me.
"I'm afraid you all are missing an important document which is needed to form the truce," said the shinobi dealing with the papers.
"What?" cried Temari and Kankuro.
"You're missing this document," said the ninja, proceeding to show Temari and Kankuro what the missing document looked like.
Gaara closed his eyes and focused on muting the heated discussion between Kankuro and Temari about whose fault it is for forgetting the document.
"Send a hawk to Baki and tell him to bring it," I muttered out loud.
Brushing past them I left the room and bounded along the rooftops in search for a cool undisturbed place to stay until the sun set. We were trapped here for the next few days until Baki arrived. I was still watched with those same eyes from the people in this village, they knew who and what I was and also... what I had done. Naruto and I really shared the same way of existence when we were younger in a sense.
Settling in the attic of an old shop which was speared by the destruction I watched the bustling scene of people clearing debris and fixing buildings. The scent of vanilla caught my nose, tipping my head a little further out the window I scanned the area for who or what the scent was coming from. A female ninja was hurriedly running towards a demolished playground with broken wood in her hands, cocking my head to the side I pinned her as the carrier. Vanilla, unknown to others I, had always liked the scent.
Darkness had washed over the sky, night time was here. I had waited till the streets were clear before moving out, the moon was high in the sky, and it was perfectly placed. Jumping from rooftop to rooftop I stopped on the tallest building. Settling down I stared at the silvery bright orb, Shakaku stirred within. I could feel his blood lust rising, urging me to locate a person and kill them. I sat there struggling to contain myself; I promised myself and Naruto that I would change and that I have changed. The night was humid, a slight breeze blew sending a flurry of leaves into the sky, glinting sliver in the moons translucent light. The light was almost liquid like, flowing from the moon onto the Earth. I clutched my shirt, the demon was restless; it took a large amount of concentration to ignore the call which I had always without question responded to.
"Hi there," called a female voice.
She was young and nervous; I could hear it in her voice. Slowly I looked at her, my head unmoving. I stared at her and she stared right back, her face was cast in a shadow but I was sure she was looking back at me. She gasped softly; it's sounded like the coo of a dove. I wondered if I had frightened her, she just stood there looking at me and me at her.
"I see you found the seat I was looking for," she chuckled, her nervousness growing eminent ", mind if I join you?"
I continued to stare, waiting for her to run off, but, she stayed still staring back. Slowly and cautiously she moved forward and proceeded to sit down beside me.
"Okies then," she grunted.
I gazed at her, curiosity building.
"Aren't of afraid of me?" I asked plainly.
She was staring intently at the moon. She had a medium length shaggy hair cut that slightly fell over her shoulders, her skin was bronze like or at least it appeared that way in the moon light.
"I'm not afraid of you... I'm afraid of what you can do," she replied ", and no I'm not afraid you'll do something to hurt me."
Cutting me off before I could ask my other question, her gaze drinking in the moon. I wondered if in some way she was lying. I couldn't see her eyes so I wasn't sure.
"Oh and by the way, it's rude to stare," she pointed out while lounging off onto the roof.
"Hn," I replied. My mind calculating, was she here to kill me? Like so many people before, I wondered. I turned my gaze back towards the moon and stared at it. I could tell she was thinking something, probably deciding if to run or attack. Shakaku clawed against my chest, she would be an easy target, and just enough to sate the demons drive for blood spillage. Then something happened that no amount of training or tutorage could have prepared me for.
"Did anyone ever tell you that the colour of your eyes are beautiful?" she said casually.
I turned and gaped at her, I felt a frown building. She shifted also and stared at me, a light smile dancing on her lips, despite her outward projection the air around her seemed slightly uneasy.
Suddenly I lurched forward and howled in pain, grasping my head I fell backwards in pain. Shakaku reared upon its hind legs and was clawing and ripping away at my chest, I had ignored him long enough and he was infuriated.
"No!" I groaned.
Without warning she stooped beside me, cradling me in her arms.
"Are you alright?" she asked, urgency in her voice.
She brushed my hands away from my face and pressed her hand to my forehead. The one thing that caught my attention most was her eyes, these beautiful bright round warm chocolate eyes, so full of concern so unjudgemental so… unbiased.
Shakaku fell silent immediately; the look in her eyes had driven him away. In my entire existence no one had ever looked at me like that. I kept staring at them wondering if it was just a mask and the true emotion will emerge but, it never did.
"Don't touch me!" I growled and stumbled to my feet.
"Thank you," I whispered audibly my back turned to her.
A breeze blew upwind just before a jumped away.
Vanilla…
So... I wonder what's gonna happen next...
Mr. Hottie got some form of attention for the first time and he was flustered by it :) how cute :D
