Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Given The Chance ❯ Gaara's Frustration ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter #5

Gaara's Frustration

 

 

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and Co so stop asking, I am just exploiting the show's characters for my own twisted (and soon to be evil) fantasies.

 

Yay a new chapter! I am just so happy, I really wasn't sure how many people would read this, and I am happy to find that it actually isn't doing bad (translation: more reviews or the authoress shall destroy you all with her almighty spork of doom!)

 

Quiz time! What are pretty much the only emotions Gaara ever shows in the series?

Answer: anger, or nothing at all!

Having himself a person that he can't control through fear really pisses off poor Gaara-kun because he doesn't understand any other emotion, (ex: longing, true love, and you know the rest…) and Gaara doesn't like it when he feels these emotion and has no ways of explaining them so he lashes out at the source (Cassandra). Thus his harshness for those who were wondering why he seemed unusually angry at times in this fic.

Thank you for bringing it up so we could all listen to my logic about the inner workings of Gaara's mind!

 

Ok rant over! ENJOY THE CHAPPIE!

Her eyes, they were what bothered Gaara the most at that moment; at the moment she turned around and openly gave him of all people an apology. Not only had she clearly not done anything but those wide green eyes of hers told him she had been sincere when she had said it, and what was more unusual about her was that her eyes didn't even hold a hint of fear or hate in them. Gaara's siblings, his uncle, and even his own father had feared the young boy in some way shape or form but that one odd girl didn't. Not even after he had hurt her, and threatened her life all in the same night.

 

Gaara had thought about it a lot the week and a half he absolutely refused to go to her house again, it made him restless, and when he was restless he often got frustrated. He had to force himself to stay inside the house at all costs, he knew that if he left he'd end up at her house once again and only get even more irritated at himself, Gaara was really started to hate her.

 

“Something wrong Gaara,” Kankuro asked seeing his younger brother pacing back and forth across the house like a caged animal, “You seem sort of on edge.”

 

“Nothing's wrong,” he growled bitterly

 

Temari's eyebrow cocked slightly as she gave him a questioning look, “Are you ok?”

 

“I'm fine,” he insisted sitting out on the couch and crossing his arms over his chest stubbornly, “Will both of you just get off my back? My business is my own.”

 

Kankuro sat down next to the vexed young Kazekage while Temari sat on his other side to prevent him from just walking away from them and Kankuro said, “You know what Temari I bet it's a girl.”

 

“How-” Gaara quickly stopped himself from saying anything else but it was to late Kankuro already had that stupid looking triumphant grin plastered all over his face. He shot back with a say-on-word-and-you're-so-dead look but that only made Temari get the exact same look on her face.

 

Gaara's brother's smirk widened, “I was kidding but this is just too good!”

 

“What's her name Gaara,” Temari asked in a sing-song voice.

 

The redhead just got to his feet and tried to walk away but they followed him, “Leave me alone or I will kill you.”

 

“Aw come on Gaara it was about time you started thinking about girls now tell us her name and how cute she is,” Kankuro whined in one of his most annoying voices.

 

“I do not like that stupid girl,” Gaara spun around snapping at his siblings making them jump back a few feet after seeing his face red with anger, “She has got to be the most annoying creature ever and she just plain pisses me off!”

 

The grins on his sibling's faces had definitely disappeared; they still feared him it was not that hard to tell.

 

“You've never had a girl that was on your mind and made you act like that before,” Temari muttered walking back to the living room with Kankuro not looking back at Gaara, “and you tend to get angry at things if you don't know what they are.”

 

It took quite a bit of will power not to hurt Temari after that smart-alecky comment and Gaara finally decided he couldn't stand it anymore. He walked up to the roof and he sat there for a long time just staring at the sky like Gaara usually did and just fumed for a while.

 

`How dare they even imply anything about me and that stupid girl,' he glared into space.

 

(A/N: ok the Shukaku's voice in Gaara's mind will be {displayed like this} ok? Good back to the story!)

 

{Why don't you just kill this girl and put an end to it?}

 

Gaara scowled, he loathed admitting it when that dense raccoon was right, but he did bring up a point. Why didn't he just kill her and finish it once and for all? Gaara never had trouble killing people before, he had every intention of killing her the other night, but something had held him back. It was part of the reason he was so angry, the Kazekage couldn't show any weakness, if he couldn't kill a simple girl at least could to give her a the sense of fear she lacked.

 

{It would be simple enough, just walk into her house while everyone is sleeping, silence that blasted dog, and put an end to her once and for all. Unless you don't think you can handle something that simple.}

 

`Shut up bastard raccoon,' Gaara ordered in his mind, `I don't need you to tell me what to do.'

 

{Then stop stalling and do something I'm tired of your stupid emotions cluttering up your mind. Ever since you met that girl your head has been a hell to live in, whatever you're feeling, end it.}

 

`I said SHUT UP,' Gaara clenched his fists to tightly his knuckles turned white, `I'm going to kill her, you don't have to worry about that.'

Cassandra hadn't seen Gaara for quite some time, it seemed to her that he wasn't coming back at all, but it was not like she had much time to spare to hear his threats (not that she listened to them much to begin with). Her father had asked her if she was available to work a few extra shifts at the restaurant which on top of the animal shelter had she was stretching right out thin for time and rest. Cassandra didn't have a day off to catch up on relaxation either, no time to play the piano, barely even enough time to sleep and regain the energy she lost while working so hard.

 

The restaurant was especially busy and she was almost running from the kitchen to the tables to try and keep up with the overwhelming amount of people entering the restaurant. By the end of the day Cassandra's feet were sore, and her arms were beginning to weaken so much they were shaking when she held the trays.

 

That night she got home late from the shelter and decided it was about time she read more of her textbooks. They were study guides for Cassie's training in becoming a vet just like Daiki, she had been neglecting it for a while because of her hectic schedule, but the fact still remained that she needed to get it done. Cassandra spent hours reading them on the couch until she fell asleep.

 

Cassandra's elder brother Hale came home that night accompanied by her father chatting rather loudly until they spotted the petite sleeping teen on the couch. They went quiet both smiling at the youngest member of their small family and her sheer determination to be able to do everything at once.

 

“She had been talking about how she wanted to welcome you home too for a couple days now,” Daichi whispered taking the book from Cassandra's hands and marking the pages for her, “Today was a busy day at the restaurant though so I guess it couldn't be helped. She looked like she was about to collapse earlier today.”

 

“Hey dad check this out,” Hale laughed coming out of the kitchen carrying a small cake that had the words `Welcome Home' written on it in homemade icing, “Looks like she did get to welcome me home after all.”

 

Daichi picked up his ebony haired daughter bridal style still chuckling softly as he took her up to her room and tucked her in, “She must have baked it as soon as she got home. Cass really is so much like your mother it's scary.”

 

The next morning when Cassandra woke up it was late morning. She looked lazily at the clock realizing that she was already late for her shift at the animal center and she scrambled to get out from under the covers, grab her cloths, and comb her hair out when the world began to spin around her.

 

It made Cassandra stagger slightly and she had to grab her dresser to steady herself and her stomach lurched, `I got up to quickly … I can't let it slow me down I need to get to work or everyone will worry.'

 

Cassandra's brother was still sleeping after arriving home late last night and her father was already working so Cassandra left quietly without having time to grab breakfast. If she didn't get going and run to work right then she would end up being over an hour late for her job and she was way too job oriented to let that happen.

 

“Iwate-san I need you to hurry it up a bit more with grooming those dogs you're taking twice as long as you usually do,” Daiki Fukui called from his office seeing Cassandra had not even half way finished her chores after arriving almost an hour late, “I don't know what is up with you today Iwate you're usually such a good worker I am really disappointed.”

 

“Susimasen Fukui-san I woke up late this morning,” Cassie murmured.

 

“Well I'll get Gina to finish up this for you so you can run a few errands for me maybe you just need a change of pace,” he said turning around and heading back out the kennel area to get Gina.

 

Cassandra hung her head and pulled her sweater in closer to her chilled skin, for some reason she felt so frigid goosebumps had started forming on her arms (this is saying a lot for a desert village), feeling slow, heavy, and her head was still spinning like a top. Cassie didn't know what was going on as she put the dog she had been grooming back into his cage and got to her feet because a rush of a sickly nauseous feeling just completely washed over her. Cassandra's legs wobbled dangerously as she stumbled out to the front, she tried to walk as strait as possible, but that was easier said than done.

 

Stumbling into the front where Daiki was talking to her coworker Cassandra had to cling to the door handle and look up at her boss, “F-Fukui-san…”

 

Everything went black as she passed out.

O_o Cassie-chan is sick and Gaara-kun is out to get her. How will it turn out? Only I know hehe! If you want to find out what happens next you just have to leave a simple review, thoughts, sudjestions, constructive criticism, and in my case any grammar, spelling, and so on errors I may have missed while editing.

 

HAIL THE ALMIGHTY SPORK!!
