Friends and Love; All Illusions and Lies

Chapter One: Meeting

It was like every other morning for Gaara. He waited for Temari to
wake up and make him breakfast. He would do it himself but his father
hadn't restricted him from the kitchen because there were a few pointy
objects, which would not suit well with the demon within him. He sat on the roof
of his home watching the sunrise (around 6 a.m.), lighting the village that hated him
so. He watched for about an hour or so.

Looking down he saw his brother sneak out of the ground floor
window and run off somewhere. He just shrugged it off and continued
watching the town, come to life.

Just then, he saw some people enter the city gates. They were a
group consisting of 7 people. They were all wearing cloaks with their
hoods up. He noticed some wearing masks. 'ANBU soldiers' he thought.
Gaara was very familiar with these soldiers. They were always around
his father and sometimes around him. He knew what they were for but he
never really understood why they were sometimes placed around him. He
also noticed one of them were really small. The figure wasn't wearing a
mask but it was too small and to far for Gaara to see the face.
'A kid?' he taught.

One of the guards then started leading the group towards the
Kazekage's Tower. His home. He slowly walked down the wall, off the
roof towards the window he came through. His sister taught him how to
use his chakura to scale things a few months back. It definitely became
very useful. He used his skill to now and then to climb on high
rooftops or scale high trees he couldn't climb to hide or to relax. He
had never been more grateful towards his older sister for teaching him
this.

The tower was constructed with many wings. A wing for visiting
diplomats or lords, a wing for official work to be carried out, a wing
for Temari, Konkurou and Gaara to stay (equipped with kitchen, living
room, a few bedrooms like a small apartment.), and a restricted wing
where they use to keep Shakaku sealed before he was placed in Gaara and
a few more. Main point, the place was huge to Gaara.

When he finally made his way to the dining room (in front of the
kitchen), Temari was in the kitchen. She greeted Gaara like she would
every morning.

"Ohaya, Gaara. What would you like for breakfast?" she asked.

Gaara didn't reply, but after a while Temari put a plate of jam
and toast on the table.

"Since you are taking so long to answer, here, I made your
favourite. By the way, have you seen Konkurou? He's not in his room."

"I saw him leave a few minutes after the crack of dawn." Gaara
answered in a small voice as he sat down to his breakfast.

"Oh. Temari mouthed. Temari knew her brother didn't sleep. Gaara
knew he had the demon in him but he didn't really understand what it
was or why it was in him. The young boy was already having light rings
around his eyes from lack of sleep. His father told him long ago to
never sleep. So, he never did. Temari really pitied her brother. So she
did what she could for him whenever she could.

"Temari, could I have something to drink?" Gaara asked
interrupting Temari's thoughts.

"Umm. Sure. Hold on a moment." She went into the kitchen and made
2 glasses of hot tea to warm them up. Desert nights are really cold.
After handing Gaara his cup she sat down next to him and started hers.

"Why aren't you going to school?" Gaara question his sister.

"We got the whole week off. Something Father declared sometime
earlier."

Gaara just o-ed and dropped the topic and started a new one.

"I saw some people entering the gates this morning." He said
taking a sip from his tea.

"Really?"

"Umm. There were 7 of them. One was a kid I think. It was to far
for me to really see but one of them was really small. 4 of them were
ANBU soldiers. I couldn't tell what village they were from though."

"ANBU soldiers. Wow. Must be visiting ambassadors." Temari
stated, finishing her tea. She waited for Gaara to finish his breakfast
before cleaning it up. When she was done she came out to see Gaara
wearing his hood to go out.

"Gaara, hold on. We can't go out today." Temari said quickly.

"Why?" Gaara asked furrowing his brow. (Which looked weird since
he doesn't have any eyebrows.)

"Father said. But if you're bored, we can see who father's
guests are. If it was a group with ANBU soldiers, they are most
probably heading here." Temari said.

"Umm. Okay." Even if his sister didn't show him real love, Gaara
felt a little bit happy because at least she would talk or play with
him without hate.
With that he when to his room and hung up his hood in the closet.
He looked around his room. It was full of toys but he never played with
them, a bed and a picture of his mother, which he never met but felt
something hurt slightly within him every time he saw the picture of her
or think about her.

-Her blood. The blood, that gave us life. You life. Me life.- It
was the voice again. It made him shudder this time.

'Mother.' Gaara thought.

-Blood. I want blood.-

Gaara felt an odd sensation within him and quickly went to the
bathroom and threw cold water over his head. Temari heard something
fall in the bathroom and hurried over.

"Gaara. What happened?" She said shocked. A bucket was thrown on
the floor and the shower was on. Gaara was sitting under the cold water
with his knees to his chest. Temari hurried over to him.

"Gaara, are you alright? Come lets get you dry." She said getting
a warm, fluffy towel from the rack and slowly turning off the cold
water.

"I had a weird feeling. I felt so hot. I poured water on myself
but it didn't work. So, I climbed in here." Gaara said burying his face
in the towel Temari wrapped over him.

After wrapping the towel properly over her brother, Temari slowly
picked him up. Gaara was really light because he didn't like to eat
much. He was also quite pale with just a little colour on his skin. She
carried Gaara to his room and dried most of him off. He kept mumbling
the whole time about something. Only clad in a pair of shorts, Gaara's
legs were still wet.

"Hold on a moment Gaara. I'll get you some dry clothes. You can
finish drying off, right?" Gaara nodded and watch his sister go to his
closet the pick out a dry outfit for him. Satisfied with the out fit
she choose she turn around to Gaara who's whole body was now wrapped in
the towel. She passed him the outfit and told him to change.

"Okay, Gaara. I'm going to change now. Change into this and when
I come back we can see whom Father's guests are as plan, ok?" Temari
said.

"H-hai. Okay." Gaara said. Temari was about to leave Gaara
quickly said, "I-I'm sorry, nee-chan."

Temari didn't expect this but smiled and walked over to her
brother. She knelt down beside him and put her hand on top of his head.
"Why? You didn't do anything wrong."

Gaara looked up at her and smiled. His sister wasn't angry with
him. " I'll be right back. So be ready when I get back, ok?" Temari
said after seeing her brother's expression. Gaara just nodded and
Temari left the room.

Temari came back into Gaara's room a few minutes later wearing a
new top. Gaara soaked her other one earlier. She was frown seeing her
brother standing still in the dark. 'Why did he close the curtains'
Temari wondered. Temari, called her brother over.

"Gaara, come on. You are ready right?" She called to him. He
didn't answer. Temari peered into the room and saw her brother gone.
Apparently Gaara had substitute himself with one of his toys. The
towel was on the floor, along with his wet clothes. She sighed loudly
and proceeded to clean up her sibling's mess. 'Must have left without
me. I hope he doesn't get into trouble' Temari thought throwing the
laundry into the washing machine.
