I woke up in a fright, I looked over at the clock, it was about 2 am. That same damn dream, almost 2 weeks in a row. It was about Gaara. I missed him so much that it started taking a physical toll on me. I mean, I loved him. Yet I was here, over in Kakashi’s bed, sleeping next to him.
I laughed a little bit when I thought of that. I’m going out with a guy nearly twice my age. Fourteen and going out with someone who is 26. You would think one of us would know better, but we didn’t. The day I was separated from Gaara, it was Kakashi who made sure I wouldn’t be caught again; he showed me a technique that would hide my wings. Although painful, it worked, and now I wear a ribbon everywhere to hide my scars. I looked over and ruffled his hair a little bit, making sure not to wake him. He is so adorable when he’s asleep.
I looked out of the window at the stars. I’ve always thought about him, and missed him ever since I left, but why is it now that I miss him so much. Maybe it’s because of what I did a couple weeks ago with Kakashi. I gave it up to him, and now I feel like I’ve betrayed Gaara in a way, because Kakashi doesn’t even know that I’m the little girl he saved six years ago. He doesn’t know who I really am. That was all for the better, though. That’s why I regret; he could never truly love me for who I am. I heard a rustling and looked over. He was staring at me with his multicolored eyes.
“Ankoku, something seems wrong with you…” He said bluntly, he sat up and threw his arms over me; I just hugged him lightly back.
“I’m fine Kakashi.” I calmly said. Although I wasn’t alright, I didn’t want to do this with him anymore. It has only been two months. People love me here, I help out at the hospital as much as I can, people there call me a prodigy with medicine, but if they found out it that I was the person with the split personality that I was the one written in old books of the village hidden in light and the village hidden in darkness, they would come after me and hate me for sure. Except for Sasuke, he knew whom I was when I first came. We also have a childhood past together, and we were friends… before Itachi murdered his clan, before everything became complicated for him. Naruto is a good friend too. He doesn’t know who I am, but I doubt he would care if he found out. I mean, come on. He has the nine tailed fox in him. Hinata is a nice girl too, we talk occasionally. And those would be my friends here I guess, but as soon as people find out that I’m who I am, I’ll be run out like everywhere else. I’m getting sick of changing my appearance and last name.
“Ankoku, are you sure your alright?” He asked.
“Yeah I’m fine Hun, don’t worry.” I kissed him on the cheek.
“Well you just zoned out.” He said, he started to rub in circles on my back, it felt so nice, and I almost melted. Slowly I crawled up on his lap and lightly kissed his neck. He smiled and pressed his lips against mine. I kissed him, but only lightly because I didn’t want to go any further with him right now. I smiled as he tightened his grip on me, making me feel sleepy once again. I lightly kissed his forehead and saw him close his eyes.
I’ve been in the hidden leaf village for 5 months now, by far the longest time I’ve been anywhere without being caught. This village is so peaceful and calm. It just makes my heart sing. I’ve been around nearly every village but the ones I’m loathed in the most. These include the village hidden in Light, and the village hidden in Darkness. That is where my origin is. The protectors of the village hidden in the light have grown wings overtime to help protect the village, not many people fight there I heard. Mainly because it’s a medicine place, they have the best medicine around. Same with the Village hidden in darkness. Well, with the wings anyways.
I’ve heard that place has never seen the day of light, and a lot of murderers come from there. But why is the ANBU after me? Probably because my parents were the worst murderers to have come out of there. And like mother, like daughter, I guess. The one thing that confuses me though, is that both of my parents had the dark wings. I remember seeing that at birth. So where exactly did I get my “angelic” part from? Maybe another reason that they are after me is that I possess both sides, and there was something written in an old book before the two clans were has said to split many, many years ago. It goes as this:
" 150 years will pass after light and dark go its separate ways. One will be born who could control both, and she will either be the hope of the land, or its final fate. I guess they meant on how I turned out. If I was evil, I would murder the two villages themselves, but the ANBU doesn’t want to give it a chance. So here I am, hiding in fear that this day will be my last. That’s where Gaara gave me hope. Sasuke too. They didn’t care that I was different. Knowing that made life worth living. So now I’m here, waiting for the next day…. Something is going to happen, I can feel it. ----- 3 hours later -----
Ankoku woke up again suddenly to see that it was 8 am. She rushed to get out of bed, and accidentally kneed Kakashi in the lower region. He woke up instantly because of that, and looked over at her, almost glaring.
“What are you doing up so early?” he asked, still half asleep and holding his groin.
“I promised Sasuke I would train with him for a while.” she smiled and threw on her usual blue tinted camo pants, and tied her ninja band around her bra as a shirt. She ran over, almost slipping on his floor and kissed him on the cheek.
“I’ll see you later, sensei.” She winked at him and walked out of the door.
“You always go out to be with Sasuke.” He mumbled under his breath before pulling the blankets over his head and returning to sleep.
Ankoku started walking down a warn down path, awaiting Sasuke to catch up with her. It was a sunny morning, the dew was still on the ground, and the birds sound young with their chirping. It was a bright day out, though. Upon entering the woods, the temperature seemed to drop about 20 degrees. This was probably because most of it was still shaded, and hasn’t seen light yet. She felt a presence in the tree, acting; she took out a regular needle, and threw it. Sasuke Jumped out of the tree with the needle sticking in his arm and looked at her with a bittersweet smile.
“You do this every morning.” he smirked, somewhat hiding his eyes.
“Yeah, I’m very sorry! I guess I just don’t like people sneaking up on me,” she laughed as Sasuke pulled out the needle and held it out for her.
“At least my needles aren’t tipped with poison.” she joked. He just smiled and walked alongside her.
“So do you think Lover-boy is going to come on time today for once?” Sasuke asked with piercing eyes. Ankoku stopped in her tracks and gave a nervous laugh. “I don’t know, and please don’t call him that, No one is supposed to know about us, and besides there may not be a “lover boy “ soon anyways.” Ankoku said, just above a whisper. They were getting deeper into the woods now. A small stream ran through the clearing. A few wild cats were chasing each other around. It made her giggle a bit.
“What do you mean? He didn’t hurt you, did he? I’ll kill him..” Sasuke growled, getting madder with each word.
“No, I just don’t love him anymore. Well, I do, but like in a father-daughter kind of way. To tell you the truth, being in the same bed with him kind of sickens me now.” she gave a half-hearted laugh and hoped that would make Sasuke calm down. She looked around and noticed the sun rising higher. The grass and its exclusive colors, so bright, and yet dark it seemed at the same time.
“It’s a bright day out today, days like this make me just want to stop running and show everyone who I am, just kind of like.. Surrender in a way.” Ankoku said quietly, looking down and smiling.
“What do you mean Ankoku? Don’t you dare get like this on me.” He looked down at her. She could clearly see the worry in his eyes. Ankoku gave a sweet smile. Sasuke was the only other person that knew she was the way she was. They were also childhood friends, and Sakura is very jealous of their relationship, especially since Sasuke usually acts like he likes no one.
“Oh, I just meant that if I were to die, I’d die happy is all….” That was only half the truth. She longed to see Gaara again, yet she was somewhat at peace.
“The new moon is coming isn’t it?” Sasuke asked, “You always get like this when it comes.”
“Oh yeah, tonight I think is the new moon.” Ankoku laughed. “Just the thought of going ballistic kind of scares me.”
“Is that why you always spend those nights out in the woods alone?” He asked, a grin formed on his face.
“Y-you know about that?” there was surprise in her voice. Sasuke just gave a small smirk, but with the smile still on his face.
“If your own soon-to-be ex boyfriend isn’t going to look out for you, who will?” He said. Gaara, unless if he thought she was dead, which is probably what he thinks right now Ankoku thought, but she dare not speak it, or even want to get into the thought of Gaara thinking she’s dead anymore. “Yeah, I guess... You're so caring Sasuke. No wonder why Sakura loves you so much.” she laughed loudly while saying this. She didn’t like Sakura much, so making fun of her in front of Sasuke, who also doesn’t like her at all, is really funny to her.
“Don’t remind me.” Sasuke shivered. “She really needs to get over herself and move on to someone else. Someone like Naruto.” He looked around. The wind was picking up now, and the sun was creeping more over the two. The morning dew had long since been gone, and life was beginning to appear more and more in the forest.
“I don’t see what you have against Naruto. He’s not that bad.” Ankoku looked around as if she heard something bad.
“He’s so annoying. Though. You have to agree with me that he’s stupid.” Ankoku ignored that. “I hear something, it sounds like, a little kid screaming.” She turned to the village, somewhat alarmed at this. “Sasu-”
“I hear it too... Lets go!” Sasuke darted off too the village, Ankoku following close behind.
