dark cresent: fates untold (a naruto fanfic)

eplogue

burning. that's all the 5- year old could think of as she ran. the town passed quickly by, it buildings slowly surrendering to the flames. though some of the villagers were chasing rather than trying to put out the fire, most of them were working hard going back and forth to the single well. she knew that she hasn't started the fire, but that didn't matter to the villagers. they were too caught up in they're rage to listen to her begging.

a kunai flew past kieras left ear, embedding itself into a collapsing building. she gritted her teeth. it was now a kill or be killed situation. she skidded to a stop, drawing her katana. with one sweeping motion, she cut through her pursuers. they fell too the ground, passing out.

kiera started running again, this time without any worries of followers.

she kept running, even when the landscape went from trees everywhere, to sand everywhere. she kept running until she saw a large gate up ahead. she stopped and fell to her knees, letting all her strength leave her.

suddenly, she felt something touch her shoulder. she look up to see a boy about the same age as her. his red hair stood out in the darkness of the night, and his eyes were the most innocent seafoam color kiera had ever seen.

he withdrew his hand quickly, a scarred look on his face. he softened when he saw her look of sympony.

"I- I'm sorry. p-please don't hurt me." he whispered.

"what your name?"

"g-gaara." he stuttered, a surprised look on his face.

"well gaara, do you think your family would mind me living with you until I find an apartment?" she asked.

his face brightened up and a slow smile spread across his face as he shook his head.

it was short lived as he starred at her shyly.

"d-do you want t-to be my f-friend?" he whispered.

"I would love to." she smiled.
