Under My Umberella

He walked through the forest, holding an umberella above his head to keep himself safe from the rain. "It's strange.. how can it not stop raining in this forest..?" he shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk through the forest. "This could be the place I spend my alone time in, I wouldn't have to stick my arm in a lake here..."

*is asleep in a tree above Gaara's head*
*wakes up*
*blinks*
*see's Gaara*
*see's the umbrella*

What's with the umbrella? Whatever...

*falls back asleep*

He stopped and closed the umberella, dropping it down on the ground as the rain fell on him. "Now is the time.." He looked at a puddle, watching the rain continue to drop on it. He was soaked, his clothes sticking to his body. He reached into his Kazekage robe, pulling out something that reflected the rain that was pouring.

*jumping through the trees as a cat fallowing Gaara*

"Gaara-kun needs his space, but... I don't want to leave him alone! The bad people might get him, so I have to watch him! As long as I don't show myself, he will feel peaceful and happy!"

*passes Kani*

He lifted the thing in his hands above his head and looked up at it, his eyes blinking whenever rain fell in them. He brought it back down and rolled up his sleave. "It's.. wrong that I am doing this.." He sighed, then looked at the vain side of his arm as mud slid off it, seeing scars. "When the sand moves, the scars show.." He glared at his arm. "It's not over yet.."

*keeps running*

"Should I go see him? No! He's going to do something for himself, if it gets too weird, I'll ask him what's happening."

He gave a low sigh, closing his eyes and letting the rain hit his head. He opened his eyes again, glaring at his arm once more and clenching his teeth. He lifted his other hand and placed it on his arm. "This.. is Neko's.." He started to move his hand, beggining to growl. He stopped moving his hand and put it to another part of his arm. "This.. is Kani's.." He started to move his hand again, then when he stopped he moved his hand to another part of his arm. "This.. is Swiss's.." He preformed this again, then moved his hand when he was done. "Now.. this is to anyone else.." He did it one more time, then stopped and started to scream as his eyes flashed black. He threw what he had in his hand on the ground and put his hands to his head.

Hitori was in another part of the rain forest. She heard Gaara's scream and rushed over. "Gaara what-" She looked at his arm and then looked at the ground where he threw what was in his hand. "Oh...Gaara I think we need to talk." She said as she walked over to him and put her arm around his shoulder.

He slowly stopped screaming and breathed in and out heavily. He opened his eyes, staring at the ground as Hitori had her arm around his shoulder. He let his arms drop from his head and continued to stare at the ground, silent so the only thing you could hear was his gasping and the rain hitting the puddles on the ground.

Hitori looked at Gaara, "I know how you feel..." She said. "And I know that you probably don't want to hear me telling you this but..." She sighed. "I can't lie to you."

He leaned on Hitori, lifting his arm up and looking at it. It had Neko, Swiss, Kani, Hitori, and Anyone Else written on it and it was bleeding. "I.. I just.."

*gasps at what just happened*

[OK! This counts as something bad happening!]

*jumps down and turns into an up-right*

"Gaara-kun! Why is your arm bleeding, meow?!"

He slowly turned his head, looking at Neko sideways. "Where.. did you come from..?"

"That doesn't matter, meow! Why is your arm-"

*she was cut off because she looked at all the names cut into his hand*

"W-why?"

He looked at his arm, then to Neko. "It's.." He looked at his arm again. "I.." He looked at Neko. "I-I.." He looked at the ground and closed his eyes. "Because.."

*smiles*

"It's ok. You don't need to tell me, meow. Maybe it's something that the Kages do, I understand!"

"No.. you don't understand.." he shook his head. "It's not something the Kages do.."

Hitori looked at Neko then Gaara. She rolled her sleeve up and showed him her arm and it had many cuts on it too. "You could say that it something that Kages do..."

He looked at her arm, then up at her. "You.. know what it's like..?"

"What...?"

"You know.." He looked down. "The pain of being alone..? The meaning of your name.. 'Hitori'.." He looked at her. "Do you know what it's like to be alone your whole life and to not be able to feel pain for the longest time?"

"Yeah but most of the time I really didn't care...Until I met you...Your the only friend that I've ever had."

He looked down. "I am..?" He shook his head. "No.. I can't be.."

"Hitori-san, Aren't I your friend, and Swiss-chan, and Kani-san, and maybe even Miss Tamari? Gaara-kun was probably your first, just like me, but don't you egnolige our friendship too, meow?"

She looked around the forest with her fan above her head, covering her body and keeping it dry. She was looking for Gaara after she heard his loud scream, then she ran over when she found him.
"Gaara!"
She looked at his arm, then gasped.
"Oh, Gaara.. not this again.."
She threw her fan down, bent down infront of him, then put her hand on his cheek.
"I thought you said you wouldn't do this anymore.."
