"Gaara is my name and sorry but I am busy now" He said as he walked away at a fast pace and disappeared from Mary's sight.
"Damn, he got away again." Mary said in calm tone but she felt a bit happy meeting Gaara once again
'You can't escape me now Gaara, you shouldn't have given away your name.' She smiled and walked away towards her place, she was packed for the day and tomorrow she decided it is time to hunt him down again.
"Zatanna, I need your help" Gaara said as he exited his room and went to the living room
"Earlier than I expected so what is it?" Zatanna said as she looked back from the sofa
"Where can I find Hawk woman?" Gaara said as he decided it was not time to ask any question related to him for now
'I can handle Eldon but she is something else and I don't trust her enough.'
'Not what I expected.' She thought
"Why?" Zatanna enquired as she was curious why he would need to meet Hawkwoman
"I want to get the metal she uses so I need to talk to her." Gaara answered honestly as he didn't think she had help otherwise
"Why would you need to ask from me? You could have found her from the news." Zatanna said inquisitively
"It is better if someone she knows introduces me and you would have followed so it is better to be direct."
Zatanna smiled at his reasons as he was right, "Okay but no forcing her or else you are in for a beating."
"No problem so when can we see her?"
"Today it's already late and tomorrow we are busy so after tomorrow." Zatanna said as she remembered the things planned
"Get ready tomorrow you will meet the boss."
"As you wish and thank you for listening to my request." Gaara said in gentle tone as he went inside the kitchen to eat something
'He smells of a woman didn't think he would hit off with someone.' Zatanna thought as she went back to watching TV
"Welcome, I have heard some interesting things about you." Benjamin said as Gaara entered his office along with Zatanna
"Thank you for your time and this opportunity. What do I need to do?" Gaara said formally
"Nothing much, just shows me what you can do with sand." Ben said with a smile, he really looked down on the ability
'Such a limited magic, only good for a show for the masses'
"Follow me; I have gathered sand for your use." Ben said as he got up and walked out
"Thank you." Gaara said and didn't tell him that he already had some at his disposal but he couldn't see it
'It is better for me that they look down on my ability.' Gaara thought as a surprise attack can be very dangerous
He followed the man to a room that had sand on one corner of the room enough to fill a truck, "Is that enough?"
"Yes, please watch" Gaara said as he walked forward and opened his arms
The sand flowed around him like a close friend and he controlled it to make the story of the Sage of Six paths.
'This way they can't find anything about me and might have wrong conclusions if they decide from it.'
'It's really beautiful; I didn't think he could show something like that.' Zatanna thought as she looked at the constantly changing figures of sand and felt like watching a silent movie
"Clap, clap"
"Well done, you did better than my expectations" Ben said with a friendly smile, to him all was business and this act will create a much a stronger image
"I appreciate the praise but I would like to know when I can start." Gaara took the praise in stride as he wasn't someone moved by other people's words.
"You can start from next week as we need to adjust the program and prepare the things." Ben said as he stood close to Zatanna
"Okay, I will be taking my leave now."
"Good, see you in a few days for the preparations" Ben said with a smile as Gaara walked away
"Thanks boss, didn't I say he was good." Zatanna said with a teasing smile
"Yes and I accepted him so you will be joining for dinner after work today." Ben said as he held her hand and massaged it gently
"As promised but let's get to work now."
"Very well" Ben said as they both separated and he watched her go
'Soon you will be mine, my beloved.'
'That man is not trust worthy, he reminds me of Orochimaru.' Gaara thought as he walked out of the Casino
He walked slowly through the city when his sensitive hearing led him to noticing someone scream in terror, the sound was being muffled by the human and automobile traffic.
'There shouldn't be anything strong so I will do it as it is something I noticed.' Gaara reasoned, he might not go out of his way to save the world or anything but people in front of him was another thing
Gaara quickly went through the alleyways and found the place, inside a small house a man holding a book emanating light was doing something to a woman that screamed in pain. He didn't continue to watch and from top of a building Gaara threw a rock spear made from the building he was standing on as he didn't wish for someone to identify him.
The spear moved with enormous speed and pierced effortlessly through the enemy's head causing it to explode into a gory mess. The woman was covered in the blood while the man's body collapsed, 'She can handle it now.'
Gaara thought as the woman stood up with difficulty and left the place as he had his own things to do but once he left and the woman was trying to get out the man stood up once again.
"Where do you think, you are going?" He muttered with a wicked smile as his eyes lit up with dark light
"No, please let me go." The woman begged
"No can do" The man said as he grabbed her head and finished the job of extracting her soul
"Now who was the one that threw the damn spear?" The man questioned as he looked at the rock spear and examined it for any clue
