Akuma POV:

"Huh?" I wondered aloud. I turned around and there was Gaara; standing next to me with his arms crossed. "Were you looking for something?" he said, rolling his eyes. I glared at him. "No. Leave me alone" I said in a cold tone. He ignored me and still stood. I growled and turned around.

'I so do not like this guy' I frowned. "Pedo" I mumbled. He grabbed my hand. 'Why is everyone grabbing my hand and arm these days....' I growled. 'And I'm not in a good mood today, so that just makes things worse.'

"Excuse me. I wasn't finished talking and I'm not a pedo. I'm only 14" he simply said. My eyes widened. "You heard that...?" I asked. "Yeah" he replied. 

'Dammit' I avoided eye contact. "How old are you?" he asked. I remained silent. Grabbing the handle of my sword, I slowly pulled it out. "I don't think threatening me is a good idea, hm? What if Kakashi sees..?" he suggested.

Looking around, I saw no sign of him. However, this was Kakashi after all. Reluctantly, I let go of my sword. Gaara smirked.

"So...Let's start this all over again...How old are you?" he repeated. "14" I mumbled. "Hm? What was that?" he asked while his face came closer. I glared at him. 

"14 and I'm not going to repeat myself anymore" I spat. "No need. I heard it this time" he said, while I pulled my hand away form his grasp. "So we're the same age" he commented.

"Does it matter?" I asked. He shook  his head. "No really" he said. "So why do you care?" I grew suspicious, walking. "No reason" he walked next to me. I remained silent, although I wanted him to stop following me.

"I wanted to ask...why do you look so much like Kakashi?" Gaara said. "For many reasons" I snapped. "...You must like him a lot" Gaara guessed. My eyed widened, but I didn't say anything. Mainly because I was tired of talking. "So I'm right..." he smirked. I rolled my eyes.

Fast forward to evening...

It was already getting dark. Gaara followed me while I looked through stores. 'Stalker' I thought to myself. I headed to the gates and faced Gaara. "I have to go now. Bye" I simply said and walked away. His face looked hurt. "Bye" he quietly said.

I felt waves of guilt pass through me. 'I mean...He may be annoying, but he was pretty nice to me. Maybe it's because he doesn't know who I am...I shouldn't tell him that I'm a murderer...'

I paused while walking. "Also" I began to say, "I'm sorry for threatening to kill you..." His face was emotionless, but he had on a ghost smile. "It's alright" he replied.

"Wait..." I heard Gaara say. Turning around, he gave me the teddy bear we fought for yesterday. "I don't really need it and I saw you in the store and well..." he rubbed the back of his neck. I looked at him closely and saw a hint of red on his cheeks. I smirked. "It looked like you really wanted it. I was going to give it to you yesterday, but you were arguing with Kakashi..." he finished his sentence.

I hugged him. I didn't know why. My body moved on its own. "Thanks" I whispered. He hugged back for a few seconds and I pulled away. No problem" he replied. "I should be going. Good bye, Gaara" I waved while walking away; holding the toy bear in my arms.

"Bye, Akuma." He left me while I paused. 'How did he know my name?' I thought for a moment. 'Oh yeah....Kakashi called my name when I threatened him...' I was overcome with humiliation. 'And why did I hug him...? I'm so dumb these days...' I mentally slapped myself.

Still holding the bear, I walked back to my village.
