The Remnants Of A Sand Castle (A Gaara Love Story)

What I Truly Feel

"Give me the position of Kazekage!" I ran to them but, Uragiri already had him pinned. He got up with his brother, and put a knife to his throat. I stood, frozen. I couldn't save Iris without killing Uragiri. I hated that for a second I considered it.

"I won't let my little brother outshine me!' Give me the position of Kazekage!" Uragiri was desperate. I understood. Uragiri wanted his brother dead. Just so he could be #1. I spit on that horrible idea. I crossed my arms, playing it cool.

"Killing him won't change the fact that you're not Kazekage. Besides, even if he dies, everyone will still know he was better than you. You can let him go, or kill him. I don't care." I said. I meant  every word.

Uragiri looked confused. 

"Don't you love Iris?" He asked. My eyes widened.

'Hell no. I don't do love. Iris is wonderful, but no. Just no. Anyway, if Iris is truly Kazekage, he can get himself free. I don't love anyone. Not Iris, not you, not anybody. Noroi was the last person." I dealt out my refusals well. It didn't hurt, I told myself. They were my friends, but nothing more. And if one of them died, I'd be broken, but for my mission's sake, I'd get over it.

"Rin, aren't you acting a little cold?" Uragiri said to me.

I looked at him with cold, unsympathetic eyes. It startled him.

"What right do you have to say that to me? Look at what you're doing to your own brother," I looked away. "You can't even remember what you did to me." I mumbled the last part. Uragiri couldn't remember his past life. I didn't blame him for that, in fact, I was glad he didn't know. But the words just slipped out of me. Uragiri squinted his eyes in confusion.

"I never did anything to you," He said, certain. I looked to him with suffering eyes. Eyes that begged him to let me not tell him the truth.

"Uragiri, do you believe in reincarnation?" I asked.

Uragiri replied with a,"Huh?"-

I stood there, holding Miya's hands. I needed her answer. How did she feel about me?

"Don't misunderstand," She started. "I do not love anyone. At all. Don't delude yourself like your father did. And by the way," She ripped her hands out of my grip. "Do not ever call me Miya again. Got it?" She turned, and marched away, leaving me heartbroken.

Why did I feel this way? I... didn't love her.. Did I?

MINAKO'S P.O.V.

I started to walk faster now, toward my house. I ran through the door quickly, and didn't answer my parent's Hello's. I ran into my room.  I sighed. I laid on my bed, and I let myself sink into my thoughts.

I didn't exactly know when I had fallen asleep, but my mom came to wake me up, hours later.

"Mina.. Sweetie. The Hokage wants to speak to you." She gently woke me. I rubbed my eyes, and jumped out my window, leaving my waving mother in my room.

I ran all the way into the village, an didn't bother trying to dodge the people around me. I bumped into a lot of people, but I didn't care. I reached the hokage's place, and I walked inside. I knocked on the Hokage's door, and I was let inside.

"Minako..." The old man spoke.

'Yes, Hokage-sama?" I asked politely.

I could tell that he had a lot on his mind. His wrinkles looked deeper than ever.

But I hadn't been expecting exactly what he told me.

My heart stopped.

"What are Uragiri's plans?" 

I turned.

How did he KNOW??
