[Naruto] [Gaara] Sand and Thorn Bird

He is worried about himself.He didn't know that he was able to stay in Sand Hidden justifiably.

Aoki's heart warmed.Looking at Gaara, he seemed to want to speak again.

No, he must drive himself away next time!She hurriedly took the first step: "I am the ninja sent by Konoha to hide in the sand."

She curled her lips, very dissatisfied: "Why can't you move freely, you have to stay in that room! It's not a prisoner."

Gaara said softly: "The action is too suspicious, you will be suspected."

Akigi's face drooped immediately, and he looked at Gaara with grievances, but he didn't say anything, just looked at him with his mouth flattened like that.

The kind-hearted Gaara absolutely can't bear to see others sad.

Sure enough, Gaara sighed softly and said helplessly, "What do you want to do?"

Immediately after the rain, the sky cleared up, with a sweet smile on his face: "Is the kitchen still usable? Are you hungry?"

"...not hungry." There seemed to be some confusion in the warm green eyes, but Gaara answered honestly.

Akigi trotted to the table without hearing it, and picked up the bag placed at the foot of the table: "But I brought Gaara fresh beef tongue! Shall I make grilled beef tongue for you? Konoha's exclusive secret recipe Oh, I remember mentioning that before!"

"I mentioned it?" Gaara frowned slightly at this time, as if she couldn't remember it.

"What's wrong?" Gaara's strangeness made Akiki a little uneasy, she blinked and asked worriedly.

"Nothing." He regained his composure in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the big eyes of Akiki's expectation, he finally turned his face away, and said a simple syllable lightly, shallowly and plainly: "Yeah."

Kashiki cheered and was excitedly busy in the kitchen.

I love Luo An sitting quietly on the wooden bench by the table, with her arms folded in front of her chest, without saying a word.It's just that he almost stared at a hole in the tabletop.

How long has it been since I sat in this room so peacefully...

After Yashamaru died, he actually came occasionally.But as soon as he entered the house, he saw those familiar decorations, the warm daily memories collided violently with the cruel words when Yashamaru died, which made him have a splitting headache, and every time he couldn't stay for long, he rushed out the door .

After that, he didn't come any more.

Gaara closed her eyes lightly.

What made him open his eyes was the smell of food.In the blink of an eye, Akigi has already jumped over with a plate: "The seasoning of Sayin is much less than that of Konoha, and I don't know if the taste will be bad..."

***

After tidying up, Gaara hesitated and said, "Why do you..."

"I was forced to come out." My brother and mother left one after another, and my father was busy with business day and night, and the originally good life became chaotic.It doesn't matter if I only eat Bingliang pills, but she has to pay attention to the three meals a day of her growing sister.

But you can't tell me that, Gaara.She only said: "I have a picky eater sister."

"younger sister?"

"Well, it's called Cha, and it's seven years old." A doting look appeared on Akiki's face, "By the way, Gaara hasn't met her yet, when did you come to Konoha, I'll take you there Meet her!"

"It's the new family." Gaara murmured in a low voice, and there was an undetectable sadness in his usually deserted voice.

"Ah."

To say that even though Gaara didn't speak much before, she responded to her vaguely.But at this moment, Gaara suddenly fell silent and lowered her head.

The sudden silence made Kashiki a little panicked: "What's wrong?"

Did I say something I shouldn't have said?

I don't know how long it has passed, but there is still a head of soft red hair facing her.Akigi had no choice but to look away, shrinking his body, wringing his hands uneasily.

Gaara is really difficult to get along with now!

Don't trust anyone anymore?

Because after all, even the uncle who accompanied him day and night wanted to kill him.

So no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get close to him...

That's right, I once wanted to kill him.Although she couldn't do anything at all, she didn't have any killing intent in her heart.But his own behavior has already lost his trust in himself.

How can you imagine getting back together without saying a word now-it's too naive.

Although maybe an apology can't solve the problem, it's still time to apologize.

Apologize first.

"sorry."

***

Kazuki's eyes widened in surprise.

Raising his head, he realized that Gaara, who was on the opposite side of the table, had looked at her at some point. On his jade-like white face, his warm blue eyes were like two clear springs, and the eyes were sparkling.Meeting her surprised eyes, those green eyes flickered, and seemed to want to look away again, but this time, he bit his lip lightly, and quickly opened his eyelids again, staring at her.

The tone is soft and light like a breeze, but it is full of complex and unspeakable emotions.Like Konoha Kasuga, the catkins that are always fluttering in the wind.Anxiety, self-blame, sadness, guilt, and some gratitude.

Akiki stared at him dumbfounded, unable to say a word for a long time.

He didn't dare to let out the air, for fear of blowing away the dandelion.

Gaara glanced at her uneasily, and finally, as if she had lost her courage, she turned her face away, timidly daring not to look directly at her again.

He actually apologized to himself first... Was it because of his brother?

He still thinks that he caused him to lose his beloved brother.

In addition, he is such a kind, simple, gentle and delicate person.

That's why he couldn't face her naturally before, and avoided her intentionally or unintentionally.

However, this is not entirely his fault.In the final analysis, it was not a series of tragedies caused by Sayin's high-level officials insisting on placing Shukaku in his body.

And obviously, the most uncomfortable person is himself...

Now he apologized, which means that he finally chose to face his pain directly and stop struggling.Facing the inner purgatory, I will no longer escape.

Even so, it will be more painful in a short time.But in the long run, this is indeed the only way to get out of the darkness and welcome the light.

Gaara is really great.Not seen for a while, he has grown a lot, a lot stronger!It's no longer Gaara who was in a panic and perplexed in the Forest of Steles that day.

……

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that his eyes were gradually dimming, and on his pale face was the sorrow that could not be controlled no matter how hard he tried to conceal it.

Too bad, I haven't spoken all the time, Gaara doesn't think that I don't want to forgive him, does she?

Thinking about it, Akiki hurriedly stretched out his hand, subconsciously wanting to hold his hand and say something.But as soon as he touched the back of his cold hand, it bounced back like an electric shock, and his face flushed instantly.

Gaara also seemed to be taken aback.

"I, I, I..." Aoki's face was red, his ears were red, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his forehead started to sweat, but his tongue was tied at this moment.

She swung her hands back and forth in front of her like cattail fans.

What happened to this man's behavior of eating tofu? !

——She just wanted to comfort him!

Gaara raised her head suddenly, looked at her gently and calmly, as if waiting for her to calm down.

The warm jade-like gaze seemed to have magical powers, Akigi calmed down, took a deep breath, and grinned: "It's okay, Gaara is my friend! On the contrary, I should apologize, what a friend should do thing, I didn't do it."

"It's sad," Gaara murmured, his voice getting deeper and deeper, and he blamed himself more and more, "Qiao Mu is gone..."

Kazuki opened his eyes.

Gaara actually said his brother's name by himself.

She was still worried that the matter of her brother would irritate Gaara, so she didn't mention it.Unexpectedly, Gaara himself said it first.

That's right, Gaara will never escape.Even though he is burdened with a heavy past, even if the future will be more painful and sad, he will never allow himself to shrink back, facing the wound, he will be stronger and braver instead.

Thinking about it, Kashiki suppressed the familiar longing and sadness that would spring up in his heart whenever he thought of his brother, and tried to laugh: "It's over. If I'm depressed all the time, I don't think my brother will be happy. I'm Yuan Chuan Qiao Mu's younger sister is also Gaara's friend... Although my brother is gone, Gaara is still there, isn't he? So we should cherish those who are still around..."

"With Gaara by my side in the future, I will also be by Gaara's side. Thinking of this, I am very happy."

***

The crystal clear pupils shrank slightly.

Then, Gaara smiled.

Like his usual temperament, he smiled softly and shyly, but it was really a smile rippling from the bottom of his heart.The corners of the mouth that had been stubbornly pursed all the time were loosened, and a very slight arc was raised upwards, the thin lips were slightly lifted, revealing a line of small and straight white teeth like a girl.The thick black eye circles narrowed slightly, and at the same time, in the emerald eyes, there was a gentle and subtle luster like the warm winter sun.

The whole process of this smile from bud to full bloom was seen by Kashiki.

The ice and snow melted, and the flowers bloomed in spring.

The world is silent and full of brilliance.

Even a simple and invisible expression, when it appears on a pale face that is always cold and tense or expressionless, it looks extraordinarily moving, as if everything in the world is inferior to it.

It's a pity that everything is like a flash in the pan.The next second, he seemed embarrassed, pursed his lips, and resumed his usual indifferent expression.He lowered his head, letting the long red hair cover half of his face.

Are you shy?

It's so cute.

"Gara, you should really smile more." Akigi said with a chuckle, "Also, talk more, your voice is really nice."

Gaara, whose murderous aura has dissipated, regained its original crystal-like cold and transparent texture, and because his heart gradually calmed down, it lost its immaturity and crispness, and brought a touch of mature calm, which is fascinating .

They finally made up again.

It's not easy.

Even though he was a piece of cold ice, she still tried very hard to get close to him and melt him.Because she knew that under those layers of ice was the softest and most delicate heart.

Just like a hedgehog protects its most tender chest and abdomen with its spikes all over its body.
