Me: I can't belive it.
13 : Yashamaru did it.
Me: The deed that ruined Gaaras life. Hopefully with Sasuke he can cope better than before.
13 : Isn't that one of the reasons you made this story? So that..
Me: Shh! Don't give away my reasons!
13 : ;:| Okay.
Me: Enjoy
Sasukes POV
What happened last night? Sasuke thought to himself as he walked down the street.
People were in small groups whispering to each other.
As he neared the orphanages office, he caught a bit of what two women were saying.
"What happened afterwards?!"
"I don't know! It's just..." She stopped as she noticed Sasukes presence.
"Can I help you?" She asked sweetly.
Sasuke frowned.
"No."
He walked away and headed into the office.
After some searching he gave up and went to the front desk.
A man with green eyes and blonde hair was reading over some papers.
"Excuse me." Sasuke started.
"Oh! Hello there! I didn't see you! Need something?" He practically deafened Sasuke.
Sasuke blinked, but otherwise didn't acknowledge the mans strange behavior.
"Where's Chun?" He asked.
"Hmm? Oh, she's on a mission right at the moment but she said that if you came in you could ask me anything you were gonna ask her! So you need anything?"
The man had an annoying way of sounding like an announcer.
"I'm fine." He said, and with that he left.
After some walking, he decided he couldn't take the strangeness of the village anymore and headed towards the playground.
As he neared his destination he saw someone with red hair sitting on the swings.
Oh good, Gaaras here. Maybe he can tell me what's going on. Sasuke went to go sit down next to him.
Gaaras POV
Why?! Why did he say though's things?! Why would he do this?!
Gaara was in turmoil. After last night he had woken up in the dark and couldn't remember what had happened. When he found himself stumbling into a familiar place, it was the playground. So he sat down and trembled as the shock wore off and he was forced to remember what had happened.
"Hey!" Someone yelled.
He looked up, worried it was someone coming to try to hurt him.
It was Sasuke and he was headed straight for him.
What does he want?! He thought angrily to himself.
Sasuke finally made it to the swings.
"Whats going on?" Sasuke asked.
"What do you mean?" Gaara asked rudely.
Sasuke looked surprised, but brushed it off.
"The whole towns acting weird."
"How should I know." Gaara asked upset.
Sasuke was surprised again but just narrowed his eyes under his hat.
"I don't know. Sorry." He answered emotionlessly.
Gaara felt angrier. Why was he being so calm?!
"So where's your Uncle? Yashamaru." Sasuke asked looking around as if he expected him to come out from behind somewhere.
"He's dead."
Sasuke stopped looking around and looked at Gaara. Even though Gaara couldn't see his expression, he guessed it was filled with pity.
"Oh."
Gaara flared up at the way his voice held no emotion. It was like he didn't care.
"Oh!" He yelled.
Sasuke nearly fell out of his swing.
"What?!"
Gaara felt himself hating Sasuke more and more as the conversation went on.
He glared at Sasuke and wanted nothing more right at the moment than for Sasuke to go away. His sand began to rise but he was still tired from last night.
"I killed him." He said quietly hoping it would frighten him away.
"Why?" Sasuke said equally as quiet.
Gaara felt tears spring up.
"Because he tried to kill me." He heard himself answer.
Wait! I take that back! I hope he didn't hear me! He began to worry. He didn't know why but it felt as if though he should keep that a secret for right now.
Sasuke stared at him for a moment, then looked at the ground as he rocked back and forth.
Gaara looked at him from the corner of his eye.
Did he hear me? What is he thinking?
"My brother nearly killed me. He said I wasn't worth it though."
Gaara felt a bit of surprise. He thought Sasuke didn't remember anything about himself.
"I wanted to kill him. But..." He sighed.
Gaara shook his head.
They thought for a moment.
"Why would he do it?" Sasuke asked.
"He said he hated me." Gaara whispered looking at the ground.
"Was he lying?" Sasuke asked quietly.
"What do mean?" Gaara asked looking at Sasuke.
"Well, he told me he loved you a few days ago." Sasuke said turning towards Gaara."So was he lying?"
"I don'...Why else would he do it?" Gaara asked turning back to the ground.
"I don't know." Sasuke answered turning back to the ground to.
"So why'd your brother nearly kill you?" Gaara asked looking for a distraction.
Sasuke tensed a little.
"I don't know." He said quietly."I woke up during the night and saw him killing our parents. Then he turned to me and..." Sasuke paused, "He said I wasn't worth killing and that if I wanted to kill him for revenge I would need to get stronger and find him." He ended.
Gaara listened closely.
"Oh."
"Oh?" Sasuke repeated slightly smirking, mimicking Gaaras reaction earlier.
Sasuke looked at him then back at the ground.
"Umm,"
Gaara looked up at him.
"Yeah?"
Sasuke seemed uncomfortable.
"Whats that mark on your forehead?"
Gaara felt surprised.
"Oh," He said touching it, "It says 'love'. Yashamaru...said that my name meant that I loved only myself. So I made this mark as a promise that I would do that. I would love and be loyal to only me. Just like he said... and just like my mother believed."
Sasuke listened closely.
"Hn."
After that they stayed silent enjoying each others company.
Me: Hmm, kind of wish it would've turned out different, but I guess it's alright.
13 : This will be the fourth... no wait... fifth time its been redone.
Me: Okay. See ya later.
