You've... changed. (naruto fanfic)

Chapter 3

---Kiyomi---

I stared at him wide eyed.

Did... did he just say.. he was going to kill me..?

"Gaara wait! You know I really did lo-" but I was cut off as the sand was now tightening around my body, suffocating me.

Fuck! No! I can't die here! I can't let it end like this!! I won't let things with Gaara turn out like this!!

I ignored the pain I was in as I focused my chakra into my sword, if I can just get my sword to into my hand...

"Are you ready?" said Gaara as he began to let out a sadistic laugh. "To die?"

Come on! Just a little further!

I watched as Gaara brought up his hand, palm open.

Oh fuck no!

"Goodbye." he said as his hand was about to close but just in the nick of time, my sword reached my hands, I released my chakra into my blade and around my body as I span in a circle as fast as I could, leaving a small gap for me in the sand as I quickly jumped out of it, jumping away and putting a safe distance between Gaara and I.

"What the hell is your problem!?" I growled panting, still trying to catch my breath from basically being suffocated then crushed in sand. "What happened to you!?"

He just stared at me, shock written all over his face.

"Fuck Gaara! Why the hell did you just try to kill me!?"

"How did you escape my sand!?" he yelled, his voice filled. with anger and frustration.

"I-"

"Well, well. What do we have here?"

I snapped my head to the left, only to find my Sensei standing there.

"Get out of my way." growled Gaara.

"Hm? Are you really questioning me? Please your way out of your league kid." said Mariko still with a lazy look in her eye, but I could tell she was still on guard.

"Is there a problem here?" asked a new voice.

I turned to find a sand Jōnin standing behind Gaara. He was a pretty tall guy with two red markings on the right side of his face, which was also the only visible part of his head since the left was covered with a white turban like sheet hanging over the left side of his face. He’s wearing the basic Sand Village attire with his forehead protector over his forehead.

"I was just grabbing my student. And perhaps, you should keep yours under control. Of he tries to attack me or my student, I won't hesitate to kill him." said Mariko-sensei, she may have looked a little lazy before but her voice was dead serious.

"How-"

But before the Sand Jōnin could speak, sensei interrupted again.

"Let’s go Kiyomi." she said as she grabbed my arm before we poofed into smoke.

We appeared somewhere I'm guessing was outside of the Leaf Village. It was a cleaning I'm a forest and I could hear a river nearby.

"You wana tell me what that was all about?" asked Mariko-sensei.

I turned to face her, deep black eyes bore into my red ones. I can't lie. I suck at that, but, I don't want to tell her the truth either.

"I... I don't want to talk about it." I said softly, turning away from her gaze.

I felt her eyes still on me, but right now, the only thing on my mind was Gaara.
