Naruto Fanfic: Hishimoto Clan [on hold]

Chapter 2: Demon

[Aiegn's POV]

Its been about a week since I got out of the hospital and started living with the sand sibling. Huey shared a room with Kankuro. I guess he was fine since they both shared a love for puppets. I was staying in a room with Gaara, since he hardly goes in it. It wasn't bad, I mean, I hardly see the guy, he mostly just stay on the roof at night and during the day he was either at the training ground of at the playground, sitting at the swing. I felt bad, Im sharing his room and yet, I've never even spoken a word to him, or vice versa. So now I was outside, on my way to his spot at the playground.

When I got there, Gaara was sitting on one of the swings, watching the children play, passing the ball towards each other. I wonder why he never plays with them. I walked closer to him, and sat on the swing beside his. "How come your always by yourself?" He didn't answer for a few minutes, so I thought of saying something, but he cut me of by answeing my question by another question,"What wrong with that?" he said, in a deep whispery voice that would scare or creep, depending who's listening, the wits out of anyone. Too bad, Im not just anyone, once you see your whole clan be killed right infront of you, you dont exactly get scared easily. To me his voice sounded calming, a voice that keeps the monster away [A/N: Oh the irony*] "Nothing. I was just wondering. So? Will you answer?" Again, he waited for a few minutes, the when i was about to say something, he said, "Theyre afraid of me." he sounded so calm, so emotionless, that it makes me what exactly he's been through.

"Why would they be afraid of you?"

Waited..."Because Im dangerous. I have a demon inside of me."

"So?" At that, he looked at me, confussion clearly written in his face. So I continued, "What kind of demon?"

Waited..."A tailed beast"

"I still don't see why they're scared of you..."

Waited..."Because Im dangerous. I could kill you in an instant"

"Are you going to?"

Waited..."Maybe"

"It still won't scare me, not unless you actually tried to kill me"

"Why?" Hey, at least he didnt wait this time.

"Why what?"

"Why aren't you scared? Why aren't you running away like everyone else?", I could tell he was confused and a little frustrated, even without looking into his eyes. I could just hear it in his voice

"Because" The only response to me that time was a glare

"My brother is like you. So, if I judge you because of that, without even trying to get to know you, then it would be like judging my own brother." He stayed quiet after that, but he kept his eyes on me, i can fell it, while i kept my head up, not looking at him, or anything. Just staring into the distance.

He sat there probably, pondering on what I just said. "I think we should go back". I just nodded my head, and got up to follow him, but my legs gave away. I closed my eyes and waited for the dreaded meeting with the floor but somehow, it didnt happen. I waited for a bit, maybe i fell unconscious, I opened one eye, expectingto see either darkness, or blinding light but instead I saw that the sand was holding me keeping me up. I looked to Gaara to see that he was controling the sand. He made a hovering platform made from solid sand and hopped on, he gestured for me to do the same, when I did, he motioned for the sand to take us back, taking the long path so that we don't bump onto any villagers.

[Huey's POV]

Staying with the sand siblings, wasn't as bad as we thought. I shared a room with Kankuro, we had the same hobby, the we helped each other and looked out for any flaws our puppets may have. He has a puppet named Crow. We helped each other create poisons and antidotes for each puppet.
