Trouble in Suna: Gaara fanfic {Under Construction}

I love You

Keiko's POV 

I was the first one to exit the train and I just kept running, I wasn't really sure where I was going, I just knew I wanted to be as far away from everything I could. The train had yet to come to a halt yet but that didn't bother me. Memories and new feelings warped my being, I didn't understand anything and I felt so alone. I just wanted to go home back to the place I belonged, the only place I have ever belonged. I might have been alone there but it was my place and loneliness was the only thing I felt. If I never dreamed of being able to find another being to connect with then I would never be in a situation like this one.

I slowed down and started to walk a slow pace, my lips tingled as so did the rest of my body. 'Why does he touch me and why does he kiss me?' I asked myself bringing my fingers to my lips touching them while closing my eyes. When I touched my lips I could almost remember the feel of Gaara's lips on mine and I knew he was doing something to me that was irreversible.

"But to him, it's just revenge" I whispered quietly to myself and I did not know why the thought bothered me. After all, he was no one to me, really he was just a stranger and even now I knew very little about him. I started compiling everything I knew about him, him watering his cacti, him working, him eating that strange food he seemed to like... then I stopped my train of my thought. 

"This is wrong" I muttered dazed, I was not myself something was changing in me. I took another step and lost my balance almost falling before steadying myself, "I'm such a fool" I muttered to myself once more before walking once more. I didn't know who I was anymore and I didn't know where I was going. My destination was unknown to me and I could feel the adrenaline leaving my body.

Walking was becoming difficult because I had to concentrate on moving my feet, my body just felt so hot and achy. It seemed as if my body was screaming at me for running away from him and his touches and it should have repulsed me the idea of him touching me but it didn't. Even though I tried to deny what was happening I was beginning to crave his touches as much as my body and I resented myself for it. Never would I thought I would crave another's touch especially that of a namuh who only desire was some twisted type of revenge. I was just confused because this thing I was doing resembled a family and all I ever wanted was a family...

I closed my eyes in defeat, it was exhausting thinking about everything and all I wanted now was to find a place to rest. When I reopened my eyes and looked around I realized I was lost. I didn't remember where I had come from but I did know I was in a village; however, I didn't know what village I was in because I wasn't paying attention to where Temari or anyone else had said as to where we were going. Then a soft breeze justled my hair causing me to turn in the direction it blew in, I inhaled it and was immediately reminded of the past as a familiar scent filled my nose.

It smelled of the earth after a raging thunderstorm which caused excitement to stir within me. The tiredness I had felt early had disappeared as I began to pump my legs in the direction of the scent. I felt like a child again bounding forward but a small piece of me feared it wasn't Silver Fang but how could I mistake his scent of wild lightning for anyone but him. I rounded several corners several times barely dodging others on my way to him, my heart beating in wild joy that we would be together again, the corner of my lips turning up in a smile.

When she saw the gleam of silver her heart thundered with more happiness as the sight only confirmed her belief this person was her Silver Fang. Eager to catch up to him she raced forward retracing steps she already took long ago but her happiness would only be short lived as her encounter will only cause her to relive a harsh truth.
