-Star-
I frowned as I watched my sister walk away down the hall and Gaara walk back into the classroom. I sighed before walking into the classroom after him. I found him sitting in the chair from earlier with his legs propped up and his arms crossed with a scowl on his face.
"You should apologize to her."
I said as I leaned against the wall.
"Why the hell should I apologize? She was the one who was interfering when I didn't need help."
He snapped and I sighed.
"She knows that and she didn't bud in because she thought you needed help."
I said and noticed he looked at me from the corner of his eye.
"She did it because as much as Saya enjoys a good fight she can't stand to see her friends get hurt when she can do something about it."
I explained and he scoffed at me and I sighed before walking away.
He's hopeless. Fine, let him deal with Saya's anger on his own.
I thought as I walked over towards Sheera and started to go over our part again. I just hoped Saya didn't do anything too bad to him when she finally let him have it.
-Naruto-
I noticed that Saya stayed up on the roof for the rest of class and all during lunch. We didn't see her again until Gym class. You could clearly tell she was pissed as soon as you saw her. Gaara had been the same way ever since she disappeared. I sighed as I saw both of them completely ignore the other. I moved over to Sakura and the others a few feet away from the two pissed off teens and motioned for them to come closer.
"We've got to get those two to make up."
I said and they all nodded in agreement, but no one seemed to know how.
"Maybe Saya should just apologize."
Kankuro offered only to get hit by Temari and glared at by the girls and Kiba.
"No way, she only interfered because she can't stand to see her friends get hurt."
Star explained and Kankuro grumbled out an apology as he rubbed his head.
"Gaara should apologize."
Sakura said only to be glared at by all the boys except for me and Sasuke.
"No way, he was fighting with Satsori like usual and it was a strike to his pride to have a girl interfere."
Shikamaru explained and I sighed. This was getting us nowhere.
"M-Maybe we can just have them talk it out."
Hinata offered and we all turned to look at her, surprised she'd spoken up. She instantly looked away and pressed her pointer fingers together nervously.
"Hinata has a point, they should talk it out."
I said and she looked up at me surprised and blushed when I smiled at her.
"Alright then. Sheera and I will push Saya towards Gaara and Temari and Kankuro will do the same with Gaara."
Star said and we all nodded before the siblings went off to deal with their pissed off younger siblings. I watched with Sasuke and the others as Star and Sheera pushed an unwilling Saya towards Gaara and Temari and Kankuro did the same with Gaara. They ran and joined us and we all watched as the two teens glared at eachother before they started yelling at eachother. Thankfully the rest of the class was running laps right now. I frowned when I saw that making them talk it out only seemed to make things worse.
-Saya-
I glared at Gaara after he'd said I shouldn't have worried about him since he could take care of himself.
"Oh what? So I'm not allowed to be worried about my friends?"
I asked and he scoffed at me which made me growl at him.
"You know what Gaara, fuck you."
I said before turning to walk away from him, but I felt him grab my shoulder and turn me around to face him.
"Don't you walk away from me. Not until you apologize for interfering."
He said and I stared at him in shock before clenching my teeth together and taking a deep breath.
"Gaara..."
I said as I closed my eyes. I took another deep breath before slowly letting it out and opening my eyes.
"Oh fuck."
I heard Sheera and Star say in unison, but ignored them and stared into Gaara's eyes. I saw shock in them as he looked into my eyes and I started to sing.
'"The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky..."
I sang and noticed Gaara's eyes widened and his hands flew up to his head.
"What's wrong with Gaara? Why is Saya suddenly singing?"
I heard Naruto ask confused, but ignored him and kept singing, keeping my eyes trained solely on Gaara.
"All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn't find..."
I felt arms wrap around my waist and pull me back and heard my sisters telling me to stop, but I ignored them and glared at Gaara as he doubled over in pain.
-Naruto-
I watched confused as Saya suddenly started singing and Gaara seemed to be in a lot of pain.
"What's wrong with Gaara? Why is Saya suddenly singing?"
I asked confused, but no one answered me. Sheera and Star grabbed Saya by her waist and pulled her back, but she kept singing and Gaara doubled over in pain as he clutched his head.
"What's going on!?"
I asked and Sheera turned to look at me as Saya continued to sing.
"Saya's a Siren so she's using her power to hurt Gaara with the song she's singing now."
She explained and I looked at her confused.
"But we all hear the song and nothing bad's happening to us."
I said and heard Sheera sigh as her and Star pulled Saya back again, but still she kept singing.
"She can single in on one person to inflict pain to if she wants. This is why I told Gaara to apologize to her."
Star explained as she and Sheera tried to cover Saya's mouth. I turned to look at Saya as she continued singing.
"We're building it up
To break it back down..."
I looked from Saya to Gaara who was curled up on his side on the ground, holding his head.
"Stop it!"
Temari screamed, but Saya didn't listen.
"Dammit he's sorry Saya, now stop it!"
Temari screamed and Saya turned to look at her and her eyes widened when she saw the tears in Temari's eyes. She stopped singing and pulled away from her sisters before walking over to Gaara who was still on the ground, but the look of relief on his face was evident. We watched as Saya crouched down next to him to say something in his ear before standing up and disappearing into the school.
"That is one scary ass power."
Kiba said and I nodded in agreement.
-Gaara-
When Saya suddenly started to sing I wanted to laugh at her. What could her singing possibly do? I got my answer when I felt pain suddenly coursing through my entire body. I'd never felt anything like it before and I never wanted to ever again. Saya finally stopped singing and the pain went away. I mentally flinched when I heard Saya's voice whisper in my ear.
"I'm sorry I considered you my friend and was actually worried about you. But if it upset you that much, then forget about it. It won't happen again you asshole, I can garuntee you that."
She said before I heard her walk away. I couldn't move, I was too afraid the pain would come back again.
"Gaara, are you okay?"
I heard Temari ask as she and Kankuro came over to me. I sat up with their help and looked at our friends. I glanced over at Saya's sisters to see them shaking their heads at me.
"Now you've done it."
Star said and I looked at her confused.
"I told you to apologize. Saya is very protective of family and considers her friends part of her family."
She explained and I stared at her in shock as I realized what she meant.
Oh fuck.
I thought as I remembered what Saya had said before walking off.
"That's still no reason for her to attack my brother like that."
Temari said, but I stopped her.
"No Temari, she's right."
I said as I pushed away from them and slowly got to my feet.
"What?"
She asked confused and I turned to look up at my older sister.
"It'd be like Gaara or Kankuro getting into a fight right infront of you and telling you you'd be in the wrong if you broke it up. How would that make you feel?"
Sheera explained then asked and Temari looked at her in shock before realizing what she meant.
"You need to fix this Gaara, before she decides she really does hate you."
Star said and I sighed before walking into the school after Saya.
I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find her. So I decided to check the one place she might be, the roof. I didn't have to look hard. I saw her leaning against the wall across from the doorway as soon as I opened the door.
"What the hell do you want?"
She asked coldly without looking at me and I sighed as I walked up to her. I stopped a few feet away from her when she turned and glared at me. Her eyes had gone back to green and I mentally sighed in relief.
"Well!?"
She snapped and I flinched a bit at the tone in her voice.
"Look, I'm sorry alright."
I said and saw her eyes widen before they narrowed.
"Who sent you up here to apologize? Sheera? Star?"
She asked and I growled at her.
"No, I came up here to apologize because..."
I said, but trailed off. Hell, I didn't know why I bothered apologizing to her, but there was just something about the thought of having her mad at me that I couldn't stand.
"Because what?"
She asked and I ran a hand through my hair before looking up at her again.
"Because I can't stand you being mad at me."
I said and saw her eyes widen in shock before she looked away.
"I know I probably hurt your pride when I stepped in..."
She said and I looked at her confused, but waited for her to continue.
"But my friends are important to me and I don't like seeing someone hurting them, even if I know they can take care of themselves."
She said before finally turning to look at me. I didn't really know what to say so I just nodded and that seemed to satisfy her because she flashed me a smile that made my heart beat just a little bit faster.
"Think we can go back down now? It's kinda chilly up here."
I said and she laughed at me as we headed for the door which made me look at her weird.
"You're a vampire that's worried about the weather."
She said and I had to admit, it was rather silly, but I just wanted to head back to the others before I wound up saying something else to piss her off again.
"Can you promise to never do that thing again?"
I asked before we reached the others and she turned to look at me.
"Only if you promise never to make me worry about you again."
She said and I looked at her in shock at her statement. She really had been worried about me. That was new.
"No promises."
I said and she frowned.
"But I'll try."
I said quickly and she smiled at me before turning and running to join the others. I followed at a slower pace and noticed the smiles I got from Saya's sisters.
She's tempermental and crazy, but I can't stand it when she's mad at me.
I thought as I shook my head in disbelief. I couldn't believe it, but someone else had managed to make their way into my life that I now couldn't stand to lose.
A/N: Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. This was mainly to kinda explain how Saya could single in on someone when using her powers, that and to show that Gaara really did care about his friendship with her. The song used was Burn It Down by Linkin Park. Please review and I'll update again tomorrow, maybe. Review and there's a higher chance I'll update.
