Remnant bones

As usual, after breakfast, the little guy hugged his beloved teddy bear and walked out happily.Along the way, basically jumping and jumping, ran towards that remote alley.

During these days with that white-haired big brother, the red-haired boy felt for the first time what is... "happiness".

There is no love and praise from parents for their children as we usually see; there is no laughter and fights between brothers of ordinary people; there is no friendship and trust between so-called friends... The relationship between him and that person, said Simple, like strangers who look like strangers who don't even know each other's names so far.To put it complicatedly, the other party does not have the tenderness of parents, the intimacy of brothers, and the familiarity of friends.With that icy look, even he was frightened at first, and he dared not approach it for a long time.However, when he was pressed against the neck by a knife, Sha Shi did not respond at all.He discovered that what was hidden behind the thick layer of ice was not a darker indifference, but an inadvertent sympathy.

No affectation, no hypocrisy, a little bit of trust from the heart, which is sincere, is enough to make his small heart, which is already easy to satisfy, filled with a warm sense of happiness until it overflows.Let him inadvertently put a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

This misty warm current has been lingering around his body.The inexplicably happy mood made the strange eyes cast by the villagers not as dazzling as usual, making people feel uncomfortable.

I really want to see my big brother soon...

Because only by his side can he see himself as an ordinary person, not a "heterogeneous" who is constantly reminded of his identity with fear and disgust.

I really want to see my big brother soon...

Because he began to look forward to the dawn after the sun rose.There is someone to accompany you in the dark night, no longer cold, no longer empty.It turns out that the darkness is not as terrible as I imagined. Apart from the loneliness, it is also the warmth of silent companionship, never leaving, silent but never abandoning...

I really want to see my big brother soon...

Every cell in his body seemed to be repeating his thoughts over and over again.Guiding himself, he couldn't help but gradually quicken his pace.

However, the deserted alley made the heart that was beating at the high place instantly fall to the trough of loss.

It seemed that he patted his chest unwillingly, and the slender hard object under the clothes did not leave his body.After confirming that the "key" was still there, the pain that seemed to be missing a corner in my heart became more and more vivid and intense.

The big brother also...doesn't want to be himself... His emerald green eyes are covered with a layer of dust that cannot be wiped off, and there is no trace of grief or disappointment on his delicate face, but it is more indifferent than that.Why is it like this... just because I am... a "monster"?

The round pupils began to shrink, and a strange yellow sand suddenly blew up in the originally windless area around.Surrounding him in a spiral shape, increasing little by little.The familiar but unfamiliar power in his body began to show a tendency to run amok, as if struggling to get rid of his control.

The cold voice that often sounded in the middle of the night spoke again, the sharp and slightly hoarse voice kept repeating in his ears: Are you angry?Are you sad?Hate?Weak you are destined to be cast aside by so-called 'human beings'!In this world, only strength is the absolute possession!Want to kill those who abandoned you?Want to gain unrivaled power?bring it on!call me now!I can give you strength, unparalleled power! ! !

Strength... In the pupils that were gradually stained with "darkness", there was a trace of bewilderment.He, who had never thought of responding, couldn't help asking for the first time in his heart: As long as he has strength, won't anyone abandon him?

Absolute power, no one can violate it! "abandon"?That is a right that only belongs to the "strong"!Weak you will only be abandoned by others!The pungent words, full of contempt and ridicule towards the 'weak', turned into sharp swords and pierced his weak heart.

I...weak?no, I can not!Since birth, no one thought he was a 'weak'!Isn't everyone in the village afraid of him because of his strength?

your strength?Hahahaha... The voice in my head seemed to hear the funniest thing, and laughed crazily: Those little reptiles are afraid of you?how could it be possible!What they were afraid of from the very beginning was not your useless "container", but what they were afraid of was the "one-tailed crane" inside you!You are nothing without me! ! !

"No... no! You lied, you lied!" Subconsciously unwilling to believe this cruel "fact", he hugged his head in pain, and bursts of tearing pain came from the swelling power in his mind.The yellow sand raging around was spinning faster and faster, and the friction with the ground sparked little sparks.

Gradually... a faint black air mixed in, but the little guy who was in extreme confusion obviously had no time to pay attention to this slight abnormality.

Just when the black air was getting thicker and thicker, and some changes visible to the naked eye began to appear on his body, a faint white light suddenly lit up on the chest.Although the white light could easily be ignored if people didn't pay attention, it was not easily eroded by the black air, but gradually and slowly suppressed the spread of the black air.

cut!Damn... Unwillingly let out a curse, the cold voice whose strength was suppressed could only be forced back into his body again.That little white-haired bug...

The source of the riot was brought under control, and the flying yellow sand seemed to have lost its support and fell to the ground.

The little guy who slowly regained his sanity clutched his chest in a daze.There, the soft white light has disappeared, and the white piccolo hanging around his neck is still there quietly as before.

"This is... what's going on?" He was a little flustered, obviously not fully awake from the previous confusion.But when he raised his head, he inadvertently saw a row of small characters on the wall in the corner.

[Come back at night. ]

No signature, no indication of who it was written to.It was just four simple words, but it calmed down his restless heart in an instant.

"...'Come back'." It turned out that the big brother didn't 'abandon' himself... couldn't help showing a faint smile, and the gray mist in his eyes gradually disappeared.As if he was afraid that he had read it wrong, he stared at those four words carefully for a long time.It is determined that it is indeed within the range of the enchantment, and similarly, the effectiveness of the enchantment has not disappeared.In other words, it couldn't have been written by someone else, so he let out a sigh of relief.

Should I wait here for my big brother to come back, or should I just go find him... Holding the doll, the little guy hesitated.It was only morning, and there was still a long time before night.He doesn't like being alone in an empty corner, at times like this, there will always be that annoying voice just now...

Go find Big Brother!Without hesitating for long, the little guy quickly made a decision.Although it may not be possible to touch it, it is better than staying here alone.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to the crowded Beiji Street first.The eldest brother seems to be from another village, if he wants to go shopping, he should go there.Who said it was the busiest place in the village... Although, it was the place I disliked the most.

There are so many people looking at me with disgust and fear, I feel very disgusted... Thinking of the "special treatment" I received every time I passed by, my delicate brows can't help but move closer to the middle.But forget it, I'm used to it anyway.It is more important to find a big brother!

Thinking of this, the little bit of impatience and irritability before suddenly disappeared from his little face.After identifying the way to Beiji Street, he ran briskly to his destination.

Before I knew it, it was the afternoon, and the little guy who had gotten nothing all morning could only go home for lunch with a little disappointment.After that, I stopped wandering aimlessly in the village, but came to an open space where I usually spend most of my time.

Because there are very few foreign settlers in the village located in the desert area, there are many such vacant places.It seemed that it was a waste to be so empty, so the adults simply modified the open space, made some simple swings and other toys, and used it as a place for children to play.

Sitting on the swing with the little bear in his arms, the little guy swayed every now and then.As before, I looked at the children in the small open space ten meters away from a distance, kicking the ball with each other, with cheerful smiles on their faces.

Is that... interesting?Blinking his eyes subconsciously, he always saw those children who were similar to him kicking the ball like this.I have never tried it myself, the kind of joy of chasing and playing that is so natural.Because no one dared to come within three meters of him, not even his biological sister and brother.

There is envy and timidity.Although it is only a few steps away, it always makes people feel that it is another world.

It would be great if the big brother was a ninja... If he knows the avatar technique, he can have many people playing football with him!But... that's what he thought, but in fact, it was hard for him to imagine his big brother playing football.

Recalling the time when the two stared blankly not long ago, the little guy couldn't help curling his lips.The eldest brother obviously looks like he knows everything, but he didn't expect to be as at a loss as himself in this aspect!In him, he can always feel a kind of kindness as a "kind"...but he knows that this is impossible!

He's a "monster" and Big Brother isn't.

Looking at his blank palm, a thin stream of yellow sand gathered little by little, changing various forms according to his will.First it was a bird, then a small flower, and finally the little bear that I was most familiar with... Suddenly, the sand puppet that was still alive broke apart in an instant.It slipped between the fingers and mixed into the long yellow sand on the ground, making it difficult to identify.

It is because of these sands that people in the village are afraid of themselves.If they knew the sand and only listened to themselves, wouldn't they be afraid...

Not far away, with a few exclamations of disappointment, the ball landed on the high eaves.Seeing their helplessness, the little guy suddenly plucked up his courage and decided to take the initiative to go forward and give it a try.Big brother said, say what you want out loud!Only by telling them will they know that they just want to play with them... that's all.

A cloud of sand gently lifted the ball on the eaves and sent it to the little guy.Taking a deep breath, he was a little nervous because he took the initiative to talk to someone for the first time, and he couldn't help but get a slight blush on the base of his ears.After brewing for a while, he cautiously said: "This, this..." The ball...

"...I, Gaara... I am Gaara of the sand!" Among the children whose faces turned blue since he appeared, whoever was the first to exclaim.At his start, the people who were afraid of him because of the rumors scattered and fled in panic: "Quick, run away!!!"

Because of this sudden cry of panic, the little guy was slightly startled.Facing the unexpected situation, almost subconsciously appeared in front of his eyes one by one, the disgusted eyes that everyone has been familiar with for many years.Teachers, classmates, neighbors, older brothers, older sisters, fathers... and the white figure looking at him with the same eyes!

No... The emerald eyes could not help showing a hint of panic. In a trance, the two figures in illusion and reality seemed to overlap for a moment.An unspeakable panic surged from the bottom of his heart, overwhelming him: "Wait, wait a minute!" Don't leave me alone!

In a moment of trance, there was a faint black air around him, and it flashed past.

The yellow sand on the surface of the body poured out uncontrollably, and quickly turned into a yellow rope to catch the opponent's ankle.Almost in the blink of an eye, the opponent was firmly trapped, and driven by his subconscious, he dragged the opponent back a little bit.

Why do you want to run away... Obviously Shazi is so obedient, obviously he just wants to play with them, obviously... the rationality that he could barely control before, burst a gap in an instant.The uneasiness and fear accumulated in the depths of my heart for several years, along with the rampage of the negative emotions attached to the power, burst out violently!

I don't want to be alone anymore!I have already...crazy killing intent emerged from an unknown corner.The sharp voice that had disappeared for a while resounded in his mind: Come on!kill them!Kill them and no one will dare to resist you again!Kill them and no one will leave you alone!Only absolute power is everything!Come on, call me!call my name!my name……

Kill them, kill them, kill them... As if influenced by that voice, these words echoed in his mind over and over again.And it seemed to feel the host's consciousness, the sand belt that was originally just a simple confinement also began to tighten its strength.

"Help, help..." One of the dragged long-haired boys couldn't help but let out a scream.He stared blankly at the gradually gathering sand cloud above his head, pouring down towards him!In extreme fear, he could only scream out instinctively: "Don't!!!"

"Boom!!!" The dense sand rubbed against the body, making a muffled sound.

The not-so-tall figure suddenly inserted between the two of them, and slowly lowered his arms that were holding the headgear high, ignoring his long and narrow wound that was bleeding continuously.Looking at him firmly with those gray-brown bright eyes, with a sense of worry and reassurance, he calmly said: "Master Gaara, please calm down!"

As if awakened by the familiar voice, the little guy was slightly taken aback, looking at the other party and murmured subconsciously: "Yasha Wan..." Those wounds... What did I do again! ?

Why did it become like this! ?He obviously didn't want to do this!He was just...just...he didn't want to hurt anyone!Especially Yashamaru!

Deep guilt and remorse turned into bursts of bitterness floating and rolling in his chest.Biting his lip tightly, the bright red blood stung his eyes.The disgust and denial of himself made him instinctively avoid the other party's sight, and let his not-so-long nails dig deeply into the palm of his hand.

"Lord Gaara..." Comforting the frightened children to scatter home, Yashamaru looked at the little figure still standing there, without hiding the pity and worry in his eyes.As if afraid of disturbing him, approached him cautiously, and said in a gentle voice: "It's okay...it's okay, Lord Gaara. We..."

"Don't come over!" The sudden hoarse voice of a child made Yashamaru's hand stop in place.

The voice that had been forcibly suppressed, with a crying voice that was difficult to ignore, was hoarse beyond recognition.And as his mood fluctuated, Shazi, who was originally quiet, also showed signs of commotion again, startling Yashamaru who was only a few steps away from him.For fear of touching his "forbidden zone" rashly, he dared not act rashly.

"Lord Gaara..." Yashamaru's voice became softer and softer, trying to calm his excitement.

"Don't come here, don't get close, I don't want...I'm not a 'monster'!" The fact that he hurt the most important person made it difficult for him to accept for a while.He was afraid, afraid that the power would lose control again!What is even more frightening is that the other party will show the same look of contempt as the others.He don't look, don't look, don't look...

Turning around abruptly, he ran wildly without even looking at the road.At this moment, he just wanted to leave here, let himself, as a 'monster', stay away from that person.Even if his beloved little bear was left in place, he didn't find it.

"Lord Gaara!" Surprised, Yashamaru, who was about to follow, was dazzled by the sudden strong wind and sand.When he opened it again, the little red-haired figure had already disappeared.Even the shallow footprints left a moment ago were filled by the covered yellow sand.

"Gara... my lord..." murmured in a dazed voice, and after inadvertently scanning the wound on his arm, complex and abnormal emotions flashed across Yashamaru's gray-brown eyes.elder sister……
