Chapter 10: The Fall
The loud boy- Lee, was quicker than Gaara anticipated, his kicks causing great damage.
It was lessened by his sand armor. The thickened and compacted sand on his skin prevented him from feeling anything.
Until Gaara got slammed to the floor hard, the exodus of his breath. He laid, dazed before feeling the hurt spread. Finally feeling this… 'pain'.
But it didn't matter. Lee had done everything, had worn himself ragged. Just to get here.
Gaara raised his hand. His sand bound itself to Lee's body, encasing his arm and leg completely.
He closed his fist.
And heard the cracks.
