Wish: This is the end

Chapter 13

------------------------

Re-capage.

"No, Gaara don't!"

Gaara's eyes suddenly darkened the nagging feeling at the back of his head now replaced by pain. . .

----------------------------

It was odd, the pain he was feeling in the back of his head. The first thing that ran through his mind was 'how in the fuck did it get past the sand?' Though, it hurt like the first time the Uchiha had hit him in the Chuunin exams, he didn't snap as easily, just turning around as the sand filtered out of his gourd and wrapped around whoever dared to assault the Kazekage.

"G-Gaara…" Alix's voice was small, watching like a little child in the corner.

Her hands slowly moved from her ears and onto the ground, trying to pull herself up off the ground. She winced as pain shot through her ribcage and instantly she wrapped her arms around herself, placing her back against the wall and taking heavy breaths to try and regulate her breathing.

Gaara, on the other hand, obviously wasn't too happy that someone had dared to attack him with a cheap shot, and vaguely he looked familiar… He couldn't really place his finger on it, but he just looked like such. His jade eyes narrowed dangerously, hand turning into a fist.

"Gaara, don't crush him!" Gaara's eyes shifted back towards her, silently asking 'why not?'

Alix swallowed hard, the male in front of Gaara smirking – waiting for him to do it. She shook her head. "It's a trick! That's not even him, the bastard managed to leave before you got here. It's a replacement with a hell load of poison in it's system."

Growling lightly, he encased said replacement and quickly both of them vanished, leaving Alix to stand there looking both injured and like an idiot. It didn't take long though before Temari ran through the door, wielding her over-sized fan, Kankuro and MaiAki right behind her. Smiling lightly, Alix slowly slid down the wall to sit down, her legs finally giving out.

Flash back! Yay!

"Alix… My Daughter..."

She stiffened at the sound of his voice, practically swirling around her neck and holding her in a tight vice-grip. She hated the feeling… feeling so small compared to him. Of course, it hadn't been like this in so many years, but now, it was worse than when she was a child. While her siblings were all happy and whatnot, she was always the one to be held back on some things and be beaten by her father because she 'wasn't good enough'. Of course, she never really believed such, she could do so much more than what other people could do, and she was damn well proud of it at the age of five.

"What's wrong? It's like you've seen a ghost…" She could tell he was smirking, the dreadful evil smirk she so hated from him. Her fingers slowly twisted into her palm, knuckles turning white due to the pressure of not lashing out right away.

"You should be dead. No… I know your dead. Omen showed me what happened back then." Her voice wavered ever-so-slightly, eyes narrowing as she looked back to see her father's shoulder from her peripherals.

"Maybe they were false images? You should only believe what your eyes show you… Not some demon." His chest raised, hand moving towards her back in a movement she knew all to well. It was to lure her into false security before doing something

She spun around, kunai drawn close to her chest, feet spinning and creating some of the dust to fly into the air around her feet like she was doing a dance. Her right arm was extended, harshly grabbing onto her father's wrist, twisting it in an odd position. She knew one movement to pry his arm out of her grip, his wrist would be broken.

She would have smirked if she knew it was going to work, so she kept her face neutral, much like Gaara, and she was grateful she'd been around him long enough to adapt to trying to be like him.

In her hand, as the two stared at each other, his hand seemed to melt through her fingers cutting her as it did so. She growled lowly, pulling her hand back and letting it rest at her side for a minute. This was surly something she hadn't seen him do before – then again, she never seen him pull of a jutsu; only using his fists or open palms to hurt her.

"You know you can't kill me. I have something so well planned out for you, my Daughter, as well as that fiancé of yours." He smirked, hand recuperating back to what it was. "It'll be the worst devastation known in any of the hidden villages; worse than when Orochimaru and Suna both attacked Kohona many years ago… And you, you Alix, will be the main event of it all. So, be ready to put on a good show." His head lowered lightly, hair moving as he did so, eyes reaching up to the top of his eyelids and looking at her. "You'll be able to learn the truth of what really happened to… our family."

Her eyes widened lightly, before opening fully when something had hit her directly in the ribs. Hunched over her father's shoulder, she gasped lightly, coughing up a little bit of blood. She could feel his breath on the side of her face and he chuckled, pulling back and watching her fall to the floor, cradling her stomach.

And then the sound of swishing sand and Gaara entered…

End Flashback… whoo!

-----------------------------

"Alix, are you alright? Where's Gaara?" Temari kneeled down in front of Alix, checking to see if she was okay. MaiAki left the house to go grab her children that were with Mike, and Kankuro looked throughout the house to spot any traps.

Alix sniffed lightly, closing her eyes while leaning her head back against the wall. "Everyone hates me, I swear. I'd love to figure out how everyone is coming back. What's next? My mother is going to come back? God help me if it happens…"

"Alix, don't move, I'll go get a medic-nin…" Temari sat there for a moment before getting up and running towards the hospital. Alix only grunted lightly, hearing footsteps beside her. Opening her eyes, she looked up to see Kankuro standing over her.

"You seem to cause a lot of trouble for us, Alix." He didn't seem to be kidding.

She smirked lightly. "I'm trouble myself, Batman. If I'm that much of a nuisance, then Gaara will tell me, and I will simply leave." She saw the surprised look cross his features. "It wouldn't surprise me. All the attention I bring myself, its all I've been doing since I've met you all, causing all this shit, making people get hurt while it should be me." She sighed lightly.

"Alix…"

She shook her head cutting him off. "Doesn't really matter, Batman. Either way, I'll still be able to kick the shit out of you and your dolls."

"Their NOT dolls! Their puppets!!! " He glared at her.

She laughed. "Oh you know they are, I can see you in your room, dressing them up with little Alix-chan!" She laughed harder, and then groaned, remembering her ribs. "Ah, that would be the best... Remind me to get a camera."

Kankuro was going to respond with something until the sound of sand slithered through the living room and in front of Gaara.

"Oh my god! It's the Sandman! I don't want to go to bed now. It's still… early or something." Alix gasped lightly, covering her hands with her face.

"Alix, what happened?" Well, Gaara just seemed so happy!

"Uh, things. Like, someone getting hurt." She nodded lightly, moving her hands away from her face. The look told her she was about to get beat down. "Okay! Okay! He was my father… well; he looked like my father, but yeah. Apparently there will be something happening that was worse than the attack Sand and Sound led on Kohona, years back. He said that I would be the 'main event'…" She shrugged her shoulders lightly, Temari and a medic-nin running in and moving to her side. "I have no idea what he meant by that though. Then Batman here, gave me a damn guilt trip."

Gaara only remained silent, eyeing her for a moment while he watched the Medic work on her ribs.

Something defiantly was going on, and everything and everyone just had to be connected somehow… right?

Anyways, yeah, sorry for the long wait for this, I've been running around, in pain and going to hospitals, being stalked and… other stuff. But yeah. I'M BACK!
