Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, It’d be called ‘Gaara’. So, isn’t it a shame that I don’t own it? (The quote is from Sleep by MCR, which is, unfortunately, not mine either.)
Summary: A birthday should be filled with cheer, not grief... [OC, no pairings]
AN: A short drabble I wrote. I will probably write several around random characters and will return to Eizan several times. I know, I should concentrate on GoF and writing more of GoD, but when I get distracted, writing something like this helps me. Hehe. Btw, the Harukaze in this one-shot and the one in GoF are NOT the same person! Anyway, please review this and my story! T-T (Revised)

“...Sometimes I see flames. And sometimes I see people that I love dying...”

August 31, 04:08 am
There was much commotion within the village and many voices that blended into a cacophony of noise so early in the morning. Many villagers were gathered around, but the girl sitting on the ground didn’t even seem to hear or see them. Everything else was unimportant. Nothing else mattered anymore. She stifled a sob, and the tears were already streaking her pale, soot covered features as she continued to stare blankly at the ruins that had once been a house. Her family had lived and died within the structure.
A figure stopped behind her and she finally removed her gaze from the smoldering ruins and stared up at the man with tortured blood-rimmed eyes. “Ashikaga Arisa,” he said quietly, coldly. “You will tell me what has happened.” He was the Yondaime Kazekage, the leader of Sunagakure.
Arisa opened her mouth to speak and tell him how the fire had ravaged the house and snuffed out her family’s lives. Her breath caught in her throat and her voice was reduced to wails that pierced the bright morning. “Oka-san, Tou-san...Eizan-nii-san,” she whimpered, calling out to the family that was already beyond hearing. It should have been a happy day. Today should have been filled with happy memories, not tragedy! She couldn’t stop crying.
She had turned five yesterday but her parents had not returned from their mission until late. They’d promised that today would be a special day. It might be the day after her birthday, but she’d have the celebration she should have received. Now that wasn’t possible.
“Ashikaga Arisa!” the man snapped again, but immediately stepped away from her, noticing the red glow that surrounded her and the blast of fire based chakra that came from her. He was suddenly surrounded by five figures and he identified them as Oinin and a moment later the aura surrounding her ravaged the ground toward the crowd of civilians that cried out and fled in terror. “Restrain her!”
A Hunter darted forward and was immediately consumed within the chakra and his screams of agony joined the others. The other four elite ninja moved in formation and came at her from all sides. Two more perished in the attempt, but at last she was knocked unconscious. The two Hunter that remained were panting with the effort it took to get past the terrifying chakra.
“Bakemono!” someone cried from the crowd that had finally calmed after seeing that she was out cold.
“She should be killed!” another person yelled and it was soon joined with shouts of agreement. It was only a matter of time before they formed a mob that would surely kill the child lying unconscious on the ground, surrounded by the remaining Oinin. They started to move forward to follow through with their threats.
“Enough!” The crowd froze as they heard the Kazekage’s raised voice. “No one will harm the child until I receive answers. Taichou!”
A Hunter appeared immediately besides the white robed figure. He wore a white porcelain mask with the Suna symbol on the forehead and his Hunter symbol that identified him as ‘Kamikaze’. “Hai, Kazekage-sama?”
He was kneeling on the ground with left knee and fist resting against the ground. He wore a long sleeved black shirt with the sleeves tucked into matching gloves that had a thin plate over the knuckles. Over the shirt he wore a beige armored vest that had compartments for weapons’ storage. He had black pants with shin guards and donned black issue sandals that had minor modifications on the soles that allowed him to walk easily over sand without the use of chakra. It was the usual attire of the Suna Oinin.
“Take her into one of the interrogation cells and post a standard two man A-class guard over her,” he instructed firmly. His eyes were harsh as they landed on the girl.
“As you command, Lord Kazekage,” he responded and moved toward the girl. He bent down and lifted her easily and disappeared without any sound or smoke. The other remaining Hunter, whom was identified by the symbol of ‘Harukaze’ that was carved into his right cheek, bowed toward the Kazekage and vanished in the same fashion.
The two that had survived were from the strongest Hunter team within Suna, First Seat, but it wasn’t the only one. Kamikaze was named thus because he was able to command the forces within Sand when the leader was indisposed and crush the enemy like a ‘divine wind’ from the gods. His team had adopted the names of the five seasons. Harukaze, Natsukaze, Akikaze, and Fuyukaze.
Yondaime Kazekage frowned as he turned his attention toward what remained of the house where two Jonin and one Chunin had perished and sighed. ‘How strong is this child?’ he silently wondered. Another thing that concerned him was where the abilities had come from. ‘Her mother, perhaps?’
He didn’t know much about Morisue Kiyomizu, but that she was related to the Erizawa and Itagaki within Suna. During the time that she came to live in the village, the Sandaime Kazekage had been in charge, so he hadn’t known what kind of abilities she had. All he had on her were the mission briefings and a report of her entrance into the Chunin exam in Konoha.
The man turned and moved away from the ruined structure and those civilians that remained hastily parted to let him pass. A moment later, he had vanished much like his Hunters had. He had to interrogate the child, or else he wouldn’t get any answers. The villagers were right, the girl was an Asura much like his son, and thus would be treated as one.-
