Ai dashed into her house, straight into her room. She didn't feel like going to the party anymore. But Itachi gave her a free ticket. That means he wants her to be there. But Sakura, the evil glint in her eyes promised Ai revenge even though Ai never did anything to her.
Ai buried her face into her pillow but peeked up. On her desk was her phone.
She barely used her phone.
Why bother having a phone when she never had any friends to call to?
Remembering Hinata, Tenten and Temari's numbers, she took her phone and added their numbers into her empty contacts list. First three numbers.
She slowly wrote to all of them.
I'm sorry, I'm not coming to the party.
Her finger hovered above the SEND button. But it moved down and deleted her sentence. She started to write again.
I'm very sorry, I'm sick and not able to come to the party.
She smacked herself in the face when she registered what she just wrote in her mind. Of course they'll come over to her house and check on her!
She set her phone down and drew her knees to her chest. "What should I do...?"
Suddenly, sonething rapped on her window. She blinked back her tears and crawled over to her window sill, opening it up.
Sand.
Sand was knocking on her window.
Before she can scream, a familiar voice whispered.
"It's me, Gaara."
She closed her mouth and blinked twice, feeling clueless of why a gourd was on Gaara's back and sand was slipping back into it.
"Wh-Why is there a gourd on your back, Ga-Gaara?"
"That doesn't matter right now. Why are you crying?" he stared at her.
(I just wanna say that Gaara still HAS the Ichibi, the Akatsuki never took it out from him. Also the other tailed beasts.)
Ai touched her wet cheeks. "I-I'm crying?"
In a flash, Gaara was right in her room. She jumped a mile. Gaara smirked in amusement.
"Still afraid of seeing me teleport?"
"N-No!" she furiously wiped her red eyes, her cheeks heating up.
Gaara tilted the insisting girl's chin up and stare into her blue eyes.
"Why are you crying?"
"B-Because....." she spluttered.
Then she burst into tears. "Sa-Sakura s-said that I was an ugly whore and I-I have to pay s-someone to t-take me to the pa-party!"
Gaara's eyebrows knitted as he drew her close while she cried into his chest.
"Ssssh..."
He paused. Ai spoke worriedly.
"Ga-Gaara? Are you-?"
She then felt something suck her in, making her head spin.
Everything stopped and she dropped to the ground.
"Ahhh, how nice to meet you in person. I'm the Ichibi, the One tailed beast. Also known as the Shukaku."
