Chapter 1: First meeting a Fallen Angel.

(Riku- age six)

Riku walked down the streets of Sunagakure, it was a cool, peaceful evening, and he was in no rush to go home. A light breeze flew past him rousing his hazel brown hair, blowing them in front of his light blue eyes that looked like lilac instead of blue to him but his uncle said that they where blue so they where blue.

His uncle was more or less a drunk but he wasn't a bad man, no he had looked after Riku since he was born. Riku's mother left his father after he was born for another man and his father was killed by accident; his father was just in the wrong at the wrong time. Riku turned the corner and there was another breeze but this one made him shiver, there was something in the wind that made him feel uncomfortable.

Like he was in danger? Riku looked up and saw loads of sand flying through the air; he gaped as he followed to where the sand was going, until he could not follow it anymore. He sighed sadly and turned round, back tracking slowly to where he was before. After a while, he looked round and realized that he was nowhere near where he was before he saw the flying sand, great now he was lost in the city he was born in!

He turned right and carried on walking, looking at the different buildings as he walked by, he turned another corner that lead him to another crossroads. Okay he didn't remember seeing this many roads in Suna. He looked left and right before deciding to go straight ahead, perhaps he'll get a better chance of finding his way him if kept heading north?

He walked a bit more until he saw a teddy bear on the floor, he bent down, looking at as if it was an alien. He poked it with his finger before picking it up. It was just a normal brown teddy bear, nothing special but then it must have been really special to its owner. Maybe he could return it in the morning? That's if he made it home.

He continued to walk, holding the teddy close to him, he was getting scared now, and it must be late. Was his uncle worried about him? He tripped suddenly, scraping his knee on the hard sandy and gravelled road. He whimpered as his knee began to burn but he got up, he found the teddy in front of him and picked it up.

He glared at the big stone that had tripped him up, he turned back to where he was going, and he saw someone walking a little ahead of him. Finally, perhaps the person could help him get home, he ran forward until he was behind the stranger that he identified as another child.

"Ummm excuse me? Is this your teddy?" Riku asked, shyly. The child turned and stared blankly at him.

"Yes."

"Umm here, say do you know how to get back to the main road?" Riku passed the teddy back to the other child who took it without saying thank you.

"The main roads just up there." Riku nodded and said thank you, he was about to start walking when they both heard footsteps getting closer. Four men appeared, laughing and obviously drunk. They stopped and stared at the other kid, Riku watched apprehensively as they began to talk between themselves while the other kid just stood there with a look of boredom on his face.

"Hey you're that demon kid." One said, nastily.

"Yeah it's that monster-"

"He isn't a monster!" Riku shouted, getting in front of the kid who was being picked on. The four men glared at Riku, they all clenched their fists.

"Hey kid, stay out of it or else." Another said, the threat was clear in his voice. Riku stood his ground and didn't move an inch. One of the men grabbed Riku by the collar of his shirt and threw him to the floor, where a couple rocks lay. Riku closed his eyes and waited for the pain to hit him...

He opened his eyes when nothing happened, he found himself to be floating on sand, and he turned his head when he heard a gurgling sound. The four men was all wrapped in sand; slowly being crushed. He watched in awe which he was soon snapped from as one of the men began to scream in pure agony.

"S-stop it!" The strange kid looked at him with a dead but questioning stare. The men hit the ground with a loud thud, Riku watched apprehensively as the men struggled to get up and run off. He turned back to the red headed kid who stood there as still as a statue. Riku took a step forward and stopped in front of the other kid.

"Are you okay?" He asked, uncertain. The red head nodded and turned to walk off, Riku frowned and ran after the other who was heading for the main road. They walked for a while, Riku keeping up with the brisk pace the red head was making. Soon they were going to get to the main road and he would have to leave the red head but he did not want to leave the red head yet, for some reason he could sense that the other kid was lonely.

"Umm what's your name?" He asked as the stopped at the main road, his house was not far from here and he would be home soon enough but he didn't want to go home. It was still dark and his uncle would not be looking for him yet until the older man had sobered up a little to realize he was missing. The red head stopped and stared at him for the longest time before answering, "Gaara." Riku smiled and nodded his head. "Hi I'm Riku and thank you for helping me. I have to go now, bye"He giggled childishly before saying goodbye and ran off home. Gaara turned and carried on walking in a different direction.
