Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Author note: Hiya people who might be reading this. This is a one-shot story I made for my good friend Blair-chan. For one of her late b-day presents. It is about her character Kage Ookami and Gaara frist meet.

It was around the time when her tribe kicked her out for being a reincarnation of a evil wolf demon that was sealed away by her great grandmother into her family a Sacred Katana but in my point of view I am guessing the demon placed a curse on the tribe and Kage's great grandmother that her great grandchild will be the demon hostess when she is older.

With that Kage was born and the elders saw as her the evil one or something and her father tries to kill her so when she around five or six she was banished from her home. Her grandmother on the other hand decided she would be the child gurdian and take the family sacred Katana and train Kage so if the demon tries to control her Kage can handle it by herself.

Anyway Gaara ends up lost in the Desert and Kage finds him very weak and take care of him. When Gaara wakes up he meets Kage and finds out she and him are alot of alike in somethings. With that they becomes friends but Kage can't stay with Gaara so with that Kage gave him something for him to always remember by and that they will some day meet again and together might change their fates.

Song I used was the english verison of Princess Mononoke(sp) song. I think that song fits them so well. Anyway again Happy 18th birthday Blair.


One day

Outside the in the distant desert far from the sand village gates blew a terrible sand Strom where a small lost child walked leaving his foots steps in the sand but was being covered up by the wind.

He walked on for hours trying to find his village but it was so hard to see. The young red hair boy tripped over his feet. His whole body was so tried. He could barely get back up. 'Is this it? Am I done for? I'm going to be killed by this Strom?'

The boy heard someone walking toward him. With all his strength he had left in him, his mint lime green eyes looked up seeing what seems to be a shadow of a wolf with glowing red eyes. The boy then closed his eyes before it was completely black the wolf shadow turned into a small shape of a child around his age as it drew closer to him. Then everything went black.

"La, la, la, la, la, la, la . . . "

'Huh? Someone is singing? The song sounds so peaceful.' The boy opens his eyes to see a crackling fire about some feet away from him but he could still feel the heat coming from it. By the looks of it he was in some kind of tent.

Across from him and the fire was a young girl with medium brown hair with two long red bangs. Part of her hair with is two pigtails as the rest was down. She was wearing a beautiful kimono that would be perfect for a princess or someone rich. The girl started singing. As the boy closed his eyes listening closely to the words.

"In the moonlight I felt your heart
Quiver like a bowstring's pulse
In the moon's pure light, you looked at me
Nobody knows your heart

When the sun is gone I see you
Beautiful and haunting, but cold
Like the blade of a knife, so sharp and so sweet
Nobody knows your heart

All of your sorrow, grief and pain
Locked away in the forest of the night
Your secret heart belongs to the world
Of the things that sigh in the dark
Oh the things that cry in the dark."

The boy was so breath taken by the song it felt like the girl was singing just only for him. The girl turned around as her brown eye’s meet his green eyes. "Oh. You’re awake." The girl got up and quickly walked over to his side.

She places her warm soft hands over his forehead as she closed her eyes then opened them back up looking at the boy as a gentle warm smile came over her face."You seem to be doing better now thanks to grandmothers’ herbs." She looks back at him as he sat up taking a cup of water she handed to him. "Tell me what were you doing out in that sandstorm . . . By the way you are clothed you must be from the sand village. I'm sure you also have a name also."

The boy nodded slowly."It's Gaara, Gaara Sabaku . . . I wanted to be alone . . . No body wants a monster like me there . . . I'm just a monster . . . "

"Well Gaara Sabaku who thinks he is a monster, My name is Kage Ookami. In my tribe it means "Shadow Wolf.” My tribe thinks I am the reincarnation of a red eye black wolf demon for they sealed her in my family’s sacred Katana that trapped her for almost a hundred years now. And now my tribe banished me and my grandmother before my father got the chance to kill me. " Gaara looks at her in disbelief. "I speak the truth we from the sand wolves amazon tribe never tells lie!"

"The Amazon tribe!? But they are an ancient and brutal tribe."

Ookami looks at Gaara angrily. "True our ways of the path is from ancient times but we are not brutal like some of our evil cousins’ tribes like the sharks’ amazon tribe or the bears amazon tribe now they are barbaric! Most of the Amazon tribes are just strong and wise about the ancient ways of our ancestors. Most tribes tend to travel than stay in one place and tend not to fight outsiders that are not from our tribe. But some stay in one place and sometimes picks fights with outsiders."

"I may have been banished from my tribe but I still hold the Amazon Pride in me." Ookami looks at the fire then sighs softly. "I envy you Gaara. Maybe your problems are not as big as mine right now." Gaara looks at her then places his hand on top over her. "Kage....You are not alone.....At least. You have your very own freedom. For me I caged in by the sand and the wall."

She looks at his hands as she entwines her fingers with him. They both look at each other and smiles came on their faces. "Why don't you come live with me Age? You and your grandmother? I'm sure maybe my father would let you stay." Ookami smiles faded but she still held tight his hand. "Gaara? Your people fear us Amazons. For a reason....It is because your people and my people been fighting over the lands of this place for years now. Your people would just look at me as a barbaric child just like my people would look at you. "

Gaara looks down."But what would happen to you? You have no home to go to." "I have an Aunt in another ninja Village who would take us in." Ookami said. She looks at Gaara seeing him still down. Then she got an idea. "Gaara here I want you to take this." She took off a fang necklace and puts it over Gaara's neck. "What is it?" Gaara asked. "It's a wolf's fang it belonged to my mother in my tribe if someone gives you a wolf fang it means you and that person will one day meet again. Even if time changes us keep this close to you and surely one day we will be together again."

Gaara looks down at it then looks back at her. "Then I want you to have this then." Gaara pulled out a red orb gem. "I found this just today before that sand Strom came . . . I want you to have it Kage . . . " Kage smiled and took it then leaned close to him giving him a peck on his cheek. "Thank you Gaara I will cherish this always."

His face went red as his hair as she giggles softly. Then an elderly woman walks in the tent. "I see the boy is up. Kage pack up it’s almost dawn." Ookami nods getting up to start packing things up. "Boy we will take you as far as we can back to your village. Do you think you can mange the rest on the way back?" He nods."Yes Ma’am I think I can." "Good."

After walking for a while Ookami and her Grandmother stopped just only a mile away from the village. Ookami gave Gaara a hug."Good bye Gaara. Remember wear it always so we can be together again." Gaara hugging her back and nodded." I will . . . Good bye Kage . . . " Gaara stood and watched Ookami and her grandmother walking another direction away from his village there was times he saw her looking back at him every once awhile till they were out of sight leaving only their foot prints in the sand. He slowly walks back to his village looking down at his necklace. "Till then Kage Ookami I will wait to see you again some day soon."

Few years went by . . .

A red head teen looking out his window at the sliver white moon and the desert below it. Gaara pulls out the fang necklace out of his shirt looking at then backs at the sky. " I know that day will come very soon. As long, we are looking up at the same moon. I will see you again Kage."

Meanwhile, in Konaha a brown long hair ponytail teenage girl humming a soft song from a distant but a wonderful memory. Looking at the moon and a red orb gem in a black with red flowers and petals with a sliver white wolf on the top with red eyes box. "Gaara . . . I wonder how is he doing? Probably just like me staring at the sky thinking of that day when we will cross path." A smile came on her face. "Now that would be a day I can't wait to come. Gaara I am going to come back to you."

The End
