I was actually hungry, but, I've never taken food from anyone, afraid it would be poisoned.

"Here you go" Gaara said, handing me a small sandwich.

"I figured you didn't eat much, so I wasn't about to make you eat something you don't want to" he said with a smile.

Why is he being nice to me?

"Hey do you want to go meet the siblings" he asked.

"I don't think they'll like me" I said.

"I'm sure they will, and if and that's a big if, they don't, don't worry, I'll still love you" he said in a soothing voice.

"Okay" I say shyly.

I put my hair up and walk downstairs.

"Temari, Kankuro, this is Irika" he says.

Kankuro looks disgusted while Temari gives me a look of confusion.

"Why did you bring her here" Kankuro growled.

"Yeah, she looks hideous" Temari added.

No, no,no,no,no this can't be happening, not here not here.

I'm letting loose

I run upstairs and lock the door.

Everything went black then.

Welcome back, time for your punishment again

"Noo" I yelled.

I'm looking again from Skye's point of view.

"Irika open the door" Gaara yelled.

"Is too late for her" Skye yelled.

Gaara's sand breaks the door. He sees my body, but doesn't realize it's not me.

Chakra control. I have to open one eye.

Believe, believe, believe!

It worked.

"G...get.....the....medicine.....out.....of.....my.....bag.........hurry" I struggled on saying.

"Don't get her medicine, this is her punishment" Skye said.

But Gaara didn't listen, he gave me my medicine, and Skye went back to sleep.

"Irika, are you okay" Gaara asks.

I shake my head.

"I'm never gonna be okay" I say, putting my head in my hands.

"What's wrong" Gaara asked, rubbing his hand up and down my back.

"Everything, everything about me only causes trouble to people." I tell him.

"Come her" he said with open arms.

He pulls me into his chest and rubs his fingers through my hair.

"It's not your fault, and you don't cause trouble to everyone, you don't cause trouble to me, remember this, I'm the one who needs you most" he tells me.

His words are so soothing. But what is this feeling? Is this what happiness feels like?
