Chapter 3: Lucky Shot
"Akira!" The man called, reaching for her. She waved a wall of fire at Gaara who knocked it down easily with his sand. He watched the girl run to the man. Helping him up and supporting his weight.
Gaara glared at them over the last flickers of her fire, the ash and embers lighting the space between them.
Her golden eyes filled with an anger he's only seen in a mirror; the man looks pale next to her.
"You got lucky." She growled, and they were gone.
Gaara watched the ashes fall, before deciding that she was lucky as well.
