Chapter 2.

I slowly turn my run into a walk, until final coming to a stop. I had been keeping track of time by the sun and moon. I know nobody is searching for me because the would of found me at the speed I am going. I look around for a village or anyone but all I see is sand, I have been travelling for a week. I start to run as fast as I can, in desperate hope of finding a new hidden village. I run until I come to four sets of gigantic iron gates, with the sign *village hidden in the sand* I laugh dryly, in need of water, it certainly is hidden in the sand.

I slowly slipped through the side gate which someone had left unguarded. I laugh, they are stupider than I am if they leave the gate unguarded. I stood in confidently, until I see a boy about my age. He is sucking his thumb while hugging his teddy. He looks at me in shock, probably wondering where I had come from.

“hello” I say shyly.

The other boy looks at me, obviously wondering why I have approached him. I look at him closely noticing a roundish face that’s very cute and looks young, with red hair that likes to defy gravity like my blond mass of tangled mess. Them I look to his feet, I fell into shock as I saw what I presumed were the two gate guards, dead at the other boys feet. All I managed to say was a feeble “why?”

the boy just said, plain and simple, “because they ran away from me when I tried to help them. Then I just got so angry.” the other boy looked at me and asked “why are you not you screaming? All the other children scream when I go near and then they run away.”

I look at the other boy and smile, replying, “hi I'm Naruto Uzumaki. Who are you? And why are your eyes so sad?”

“I’m Gaara of the desert and no one likes me.” Gaara whispered in a sad lonely voice. I understood him completely, he was all alone like me.

“don’t you have a family?”

“yes but my dad hates me he and my two older siblings run when I go near them, just like everyone else. Why are you not you running?”.

“I know what that loneliness is like. Everyone in my old village hated me. I hadn’t done anything wrong, its just that I have no family and the adults hate so they keep there children away from me. Even my hoom-room teacher doesn’t like me.” I looked around and suddenly noticed the ninja ambu of the sand surrounding us. Gaara looked around when he saw the fear on my face.

Gaara came and stood in front of me saying “he is coming to play with me.” then he stood away and I followed after him. “do you want to play with me?”

I think he is an awfully strange child, currently he is sucking his thumb while hugging his teddy bear. The adults started to back away when they looked at him. I ran up to the tallest adult I could see and I kicked him. “leave him alone!” I shouted with all my fury.

The leader stepped forward and said “Garra your father, the current Kage of the sand, has said you must die. This is our order. Die quietly. You have already killed your uncle, your last link to your beloved 'mother'. Now we will kill you before you kill anyone else.”.

Garra stepped backwards,traumatized by what this mysterious man had to say. In a second Garra started crying while the sand rose up and killed all who wished to harm him. It was like someone else was protecting him. He looked at the blood,weapons and dead bodies. I watched, amazed, as I saw him transform before my very eyes. Imagine me Naruto Uzumaki witnessing something as incredible scary as this. Immediately I look for some where to hid. Then I remember that’s what the villages did to me. I also remember Garra saying that’s what they do to him. “I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I’m not running away from yo Garra! Wake up! You said you would play with me! Quit killing people, they mat deserve it in your eyes but imagine the pain there family’s have to go though. How many children will be orphaned? Its bad to kill ...Garra … please Garra listen to me. GGAARRRRAA WAKE UP!”.my voice went from normal, to a whisper, to shouting and then back to normal again but every ounce was filled with my emotion. I don’t want to see any more death. I cant deal with it. I feel if I have any more death in my life my head will explode.

I watched as Garra slowly turned back to normal. “OK, no more death, I promise, Naruto.”.
