When Two Monsters Collide (Gaara love story)

Chapter 7

"Gaara. Gaara. Gaara. Hey Gaara" I annoy the poor red head to the point where I kinda think he wants to kill me.

"Ryuk I swear to Kami if you don't shut up...." He started to threaten.

"Then pay attention to me" I pouted and stared at him.

He glared at me back before flicking my forehead. My demons, knowing the action wasnt threatening, did nothing to help me. How rude of them.

"Ittai..." I mutter rubbing my forehead with my hand.

Its been half a month already and most of the time I spent hanging around Gaara or visiting Lee in the hospital. The time that I spent with Gaara was fun. He slowly opened up to me. He still isnt fully open though but he trusts me more then others.

"Hey Gaara?" I asked in a soft tone while hurrying to catch up to him.

"Hm." He replied not looking at me.

"Can you tell me about your childhood?" I asked quietly and his eyes flickered towards me.

"No." He said sternly and sped up ahead of me. I sigh and run after him

"Please Gaara?" I whine and he glares at me.

"Ryuk I said no. Now leave it" he growled and I nodded. Maybe he will tell me some other time.

"In going to go find Temari ok?" I say and he nods a little at me. "See ya!!" I wave and run off to his room hes staying at.

I knock on the door and kankuro opens it.

"Oh hey ry-chan. Come in" he said and opens the door wider. I step in and turn around to face him. "Is Temari here?" I ask and he nods, pointing up stairs. "First room on the left" I nod and make my way upstairs. I find the room and knock on the door.

"Come in! Oh hey Ryuk!" Temari says as I walk in the door and close it behind me.

"Hey Tem-chan." I say with a smile.

"Here to fangirl over my little brother again" she giggles teasingly. My face heats up and I shake my head no. "No no no no no!! Hush Temari your so loud!!" I squeak and she laughs.

"Who do you think will here us?" She asks

Kankuro is outside the door.

Thank you Amaimon.

"Kankuro is eavesdropping." I say and loud bangs and crashes follow after. Looks like he ran.

Temari and I laugh before she offers me a seat on her comfy looking chair. Its kinda like a bowl...

I sit down and fiddle with my fingers.

"Ok I lied I wanna talk abour Gaara" I mutter blushing and she squeals.

"Ahhh you are so cute!! Maybe you can finally bring back the old Gaara..." She adds quietly.

I look up at her in curiosity. "What was the old Gaara like?" I ask. Hopefully she wont tell Gaara she told me...cause I dont think Gaara wants me to know...but too bad I'm curious.

"Oh well....when we were younger everybody hated him. People were afraid and that's why they hate. Gaara tried his hardest to make friends...asking to play with everybody, trying to help people with things they needed...but nobody accepted...they looked at him in fear and disgust. It hurt Gaara badly. One day he tried to give a ball back to a couple of kids who lost it...but they all ran. Gaara accidentally used his sand and injured one of them. All he wanted was for them to not run away..his uncle shielded the girl before any serious injury happened. She ran home and he took Gaara home. Later that night Gaara wanted to make it up to the girl. He searched everywhere just for some special healing remedies for her. He put them in a bag and ran off to her house. When he got there and offered it to her she slammed the door in his face and fold him to leave. Gaara's already fragile heart was almost broken...he left and ended up in a little courtyard area crying. He suddenly got attacked and his sand protected him. He looked horrified. He used his sand to attack the man and the man fell. When Gaara went to see who it was he froze. It was his uncle. The only person who said he loved Gaara. Gaara was confused and hurt. His heart wasn't completely shattered....until his Uncle said he hated him. And that he has always hated him. Gaara's heart shattered and he broke. His sand swirled all around him and imprinted the Kanji for Love on his forehead. That was the day when he decided he would only live for himself...would only love himself.." Temari voice cracked near the end. She was in tears...but nowhere near as teary as I was.
