training to work out the depression of losing a friend

"Hm.. alright, let's try something else.." He turned and walked far away, sitting under a tree. Making a few handsigns, then putting two fingers to one of his eyes, activating the third eye and watching her with it. He really wanted to watch for some reason.. maybe this was considered boredom?

she just had a slightly annoyed expression for a few seconds before she went back to training working with her weaponry for a good ten minutes before she moved on to genjutsu training. She glosed her eyes and formed seals quickly and silently a wind blew by and sakura petals drifted by, part of her illusion as she dissapeared under the illusion of the genjutsu she was casting. she allowed herself to finish out the attack and released the genjutsu incase anyone had been trapped in it. She walked to where all her weaponry was stuck in targets and started picking them out of the wooden targets. her fingers and hands getting small cuts every now and then from moving the wrong way to get her ninja weapons, but she almost grinned at the feeling, emotions calming again. she just kept pulling the kunai and shuriken free.

He noticed how she seemed to like it when pulling the weapons from the target boards and being cut by it, though he decided to just continue watching for the time being. (Stalker much? XD)

She put her weapons away and shook her head. sighing deeply she started to walk out of the training grounds now. She had grown board and knew that Gaara had been watching.

"Hm.." With that, he made yet another hand sign and disappeared in a swirl of sand, reappearing right infront of Shika. "Are you turned on by pain?"

(ooc:LOL he doesn't know what hes talking about And I just feel like making him a tiny bit OOC xD)

"No, of corse not!"She said,She huffed not wanting to go through, this at least not now.

He looked to her hand, then to her face, then away from her and off to some random direction. "Hm..."

Then he suddenly snapped his head back to her direction and stared intenstively at her. "Your lying."

"Why would I like to purposly hurt myself hm?"She asked snapping back in response. An annoyed look crossing her face. She wouldn't allow anyone to know about her deepest secret.

(ooc: I sound so... "Emo" as most people call them... then again I was and I still feel that way often, eh. no way to explain it... but I snap at people who really call and think that cutter and emo are the same thing, cause they're not ;~

"Because some people do." His stare turned blank and his face showed no emotion. "By the way you react to your hand being cut by your weapons seems as though you enjoy pain.."


((ooc: They aren't, emo is more of a style. I have a friend who doesn't dress in the emo style and she used to be a cutter))

"I don't enjoy pain..."She sighed deeply. She wished this would end. "it's not a pain at all really... it doesn't hurt..."She murmered her gaze lowering.

(ooc: Exactly. DX as i said "emo" not emo. Besides Emo is a style/ sub-genre of rock. and I used to be a cutter and i don't dress in the usual emo style. but it kills me when people confuse things as important as that)

"I see.. so bleeding has no affect of you? Infact, you were grinning.."


((ooc: I know what you mean, though I do wear the style O_o I wouldn't seem like a person who did such things but I am ^_^;; ))

"My mind is wandering, i was daydreaming I'm an idiot okay?"She asked annoyed trying to get him to leave her alone already.

((ooc: I wear more gothic clothes. same here... but they always think the quiet ones are and in my case it's true))

"And you seemed as though it cleared your mind.." He didn't take his eyes off her, just staring.


((ooc: Lol wow that's really stupid >_< I am really quite when I'm around people other than my friends but you can't get me to shut up when I'm around my friends ))

She yawned, "Look I'm tired. Is there a reason your nagging me?"She asked starting to get annoyed.

((ooc: I'm quiet about 97% of the time. the other 3% I'm talking with friends...))

"Nagging?" His exspression didn't change from it's blank one.


((ooc: Lol @_@))

"Yes Nagging!"She said her hands on her hips. "You come here and watch me as if your stalking me!"She exclaimed pointing at Gaara Accusingly.

((ooc: yeah... I'm very quiet...))

Yet again, his exspression didn't change. "I was merely observing. And I wasn't 'nagging', just trying to see if you would continue to lie."


((ooc: Same.. meh, but it's funny cause no one else in my family is as quiet as I am..))

"I haven't lied to begin with, If I was oh I'd say let me be struck with Lightning!"She said annoyed and waited nothing. She looked at him with an annoyed expression.

(ooc: same here. =/)

"Lightning is rapid, usually one struck by it doesn't know what hit them and in most cases they die. You pulled your weapons in a way where they would rip through your skin, and watched the blood slide from your flesh wound.." He still didn't show any sign of his exspression changing, as for his voice also being in monotone. "Do not take me for a fool.."


((ooc: Lol ^_^;;

Gaara is being persistant lmao But he knows because he tried to do it to himself when he was six lol))

"... it didn't hurt though..."She said sighing. "it felt better then the pain in my heart"she mummbled.

((ooc: xD indeed he is. lol)

"You suffer the wound of the heart.." His head lowered in the smallest bit. "The wound that has no remedy.. yet apparently there is one thing that can cure it.."


((ooc: Lol I feel a bit evil O_o Oh no here comes the twitching X_X))

She looked at him and shook her head. "not it makes it hurt less... but doesn't stop the pain."She said softly tears coming to her eyes which she blinked away not going to cry infront of anyone.

((ooc: I feel so heartless...))

Staying silent as he noticed her eyes become a bit shinier, he felt his head lower just a bit more. It was his fault this girl felt the way she did.


((ooc: Hm..?))

She wiped at her eyes with the back of her sleeve. She looked up at the sky and shivered as a cold feeling came over her (xD Karina much) as if arms were holding her. She could almost feel the dead girl's hands. Shika let her gaurd down and felt tears run down her face.

His eyes shifted to the ground, away from the crying girl. He felt like he should be the one trying to make her feel better, though how he would do it he didn't know. What did people usually do to make someone feel better..? Remembering a time in Suna when he had witnessed a girl crying, then the man with her hand embraced her in a gentle hug. Is that what he had to do to stop the feelings that the girl was overcome with?

With no other options, he took one step, pulled the girl to him, and hugged her(How out of character XD). And that was when he remembered what the girl he had seen in Suna did to the man after he embraced her. That girl had kicked that guy inbetween the legs and run away in a fit of angry tears. Now Gaara wondered if that was what Shika was going to do.

But all he can do now is wait..
