Part 2
"I don't want our daughter to be friends with that boy!" A man's voice shouted.
That is what woke Rue up later that evening. Getting out of bed she curiously opened the door to her room a crack.
"Darling, Lower your voice. If she hears you she'll get upset." Her mother said while shushing him.
"She'll get upset?! I'm getting upset. I don't want her friends with that monster child." Her father mumbled angrily.
"Too bad, she has high hopes for this friendship." Her mother ended the conversation and Rue realized they'd been talking about her and Gaara.
Rue's fists clenched and a feeling she'd never felt before boiled up inside of her. Anger? Not, not strong enough. Rage? Yes that's it.
Her father calling Gaara, sweet, sweet Gaara a monster enraged her. She closed her door, a scowl fixed to her delicate features. Crossing her room, the young girl opened her window and slipped outside.
Her home was overlooking Sunagkure. It was small, but big enough for the three of them and had a workshop out back.
Rue wanted to scream. But she found that she couldn't. She also wanted to cry. But she couldn't do that either. She'd just met Gaara, but he was nice. She wanted him to be surrounded by friends. Rue did not want people to avoid him or call him a monster. It wasn't right.
She sat out in front of her home with her knees up against her chest and looked out at her village. Breathing deeply, she calmed and her rage slowly subsided. The cool night air and the small lights from the village were usually relaxing, but something felt different.
The air was still, waiting for something, and the village seemed darker than usual. Looking up she frowned at the moon. It was full and dull. To Rue, it felt like night itself was expecting something big tonight.
Then she saw it. A small explosion came from the village. Rue actually jumped when she saw it. Her heart began to race as she worried about Gaara.
Turning she ran back to her house and flung the door open. Her parents sat in the living room, talking. They looked up at her surprised.
"You're supposed to be asleep young lady." Her father said.
"I know but… Something happened in the village!" She announced making her parents jump as well.
"What?!" They said in unison, equally surprised.
Rue nodded furiously and ran to them. Grabbing their hands, she began to drag them. They came along with her quickly. When the three got to where she had been sitting. Rue immediately pointed to the puff of smoke where the explosion was.
Then they heard a tortured scream. Rue's eyes widened and a pained expression crossed her face.
"Gaara!" She shouted and her mother grabbed her around the waist and picked her up and held her close.
Rue focused on the spot where Rue assumed Gaara had been. Something was there. It was big and demonic and Rue didn't know how to react to it. It, whatever it was, was angry or depressed. She couldn't tell which but it was rampaging on the village.
Rue's father took Rue and her mother back inside and her mother put Rue back in her bed.
"I know you're worried about Gaara, honey. But get some sleep." Her mother said covering rue up and closing her window.
Rue pouted and her mother kissed her forehead before leaving her to sleep.
