Ankoku- pov



Darkness soon overcastted the landscape as I sat in a tree, waiting for night. It seemed like an eternity, a minute would equal an hour, and an hour, a year. I kept playing the tone of his voice in my head, so different then from what I remember. All I wanted to really do was leap in his arms and tell him that I’ll never leave him again, I’ll even return with him to the sand village if he wanted. But after hearing him, I doubt he wants anything to do with me. Slower…times going slower. Finally, It was dark enough and I walked to a place where all was clear, the stars shown bright, but there was no moon, nothing. So it was still darker than usual, and so was the same with my personality. That’s when I saw him again.

“You dragged me out here, now show me who you really are,” I heard Gaara smirk.

“First, do you have something against me? For leaving?” I asked curiously. I didn’t want him coming after me if he found out.

“No ones worth keeping alive unless she is my guardian angel. I will kill you if you are not her.” His eyes shot a glare. Kill…KILL? What the hell? Killing is bad. He’ll kill anyone, and everyone but me? What’s going on here?

“I will show you then.” was all I could say, I removed my ribbon from my neck, exposing the long scar that carries across my neck, and I could feel everything around me lighten up. That’s when it happened, for the first time in god knows how long my light side, the side where people mistake as angels. My wings spread out wide; my eyes lightened even more and all I felt was happiness. Yes, a feeling I haven’t truly felt in along time. Then I looked over, Gaara looked stunned. His eyes went wide and he seemed to drop his guard. Also, that evil look seemed to be gone.

“It is you Ankoku….” was all he could say. Afraid of getting caught, I did that jutsu and in an instant, I was back to normal, no wings, nothing. I almost dropped to my knees as I coughed up the blood. It was painful, but it’s okay.

“Gaara, I’ve thought about you every night since I left, whether you forgot I was still alive, or even existed.” I said, his eyes hardened a bit, but then looked down to the ground. I think I said something wrong.

“How could I ever forget you Ankoku, you were the only one that showed caring, compassion and even love. I thought you were dead for the longest time, until I heard about you somewhere.”

Tears flooded to Ankoku’s eyes after hearing that speech of his.

“I’ve been worried this whole day, thinking you hated me or something.” She cried. Gaara walked over to her, bent down and hugged her tight.

“Come on, don’t cry, I don’t like seeing you cry, it means your hurting and I don’t know how to take care of it.”

“I’m crying because I get to see you again!” again Gaara looked stunned, he had taken this the wrong way, he thought she meant because she never wanted to see him again, or something to that effect. He let go of her and grabbed his heart.

“What do you mean?” He asked quite angrily, if he was hated by her for no reason, he wants to know why.

“Because I love you!” she closed her eyes and yelled. She dug her fingers deep into the ground, her angel wings
wanting to spread again, but she wouldn’t allow it. Not on a new moon where the light would attract anything and anyone. Gaara looked at her with a shocked expression. He never would have thought that she would still even think about him like that. Timidly he held out a hand, and moved closer to Ankoku with baby-like steps, so he could help her out. The grabbed his shaking hand and he pulled her up into his arms. She returned his shocked look with one of her own.

“I’m sorry….” Gaara whispered into her ear. She looked at him, her face two inches from his. Her shocked expression went to a puzzled one.

“What do you mean?” She asked softly. The stars seemed to be getting brighter, everything around them seemed to light up, and fireflies swarmed the place. It was almost unbelievable.

“Your eyes, they are filled with hurt. I promised you long ago, I wouldn’t let you get hurt.” He said.

“Its fine.” Was all that Ankoku could say. It was weird; she didn’t think he would have remembered that. “We can’t change what happened in the past.”

“It is not fine.” he smirked.

“Gaara, I said it was fine, drop it.” I said getting a little angry. Ankoku pushed her forehead against his.

“I just have one little problem. I’m currently going out with someone. Although I don’t want too.”

“Hm? Why would you bring that up?” Gaara asked with confusion in his voice.

“Oh no reason.” Ankoku gave a nervous laugh.

It was nearing sunrise now. The walked over to where the statues were, and sat down. They sat, leaning against each other happy to be in each other’s presence once again. They stayed up, watching the stars disappear, watching the sky slowly light up. For the first time in Ankoku’s life, she felt like living, not for herself but for someone else. She didn’t want to die anymore, she wasn’t afraid. And Gaara, actually smiled, seeing the little girl he remembered. The only person that said they’d love him, and seeing after all this time, he never forgot her, she never forgot him. As soon as everything fell into place, they had to go there separate ways.

“I’ll see you later today, I’ll find you.” Ankoku said. She got up and looked down to the town. “I promise.”

Gaara gave a small smirk, but flashed a smile, which in his words meant alright. They jumped off into different directions. Leaving ever so suddenly.
