Open up wide

Swallow down deep

No spoonful of sugar could make it sweet

The boy towered above her, his hands wrapped around her neck. One twist of his wrists and she would be another corpse that perished at his hands. Yet the figure that lay beneath him held a curve upon her lips. She knew from the start that she would die, from when she first made an acquaintance with the redhead.

The cancer inside

Stealing my sleep
Night after night it keeps haunting me

Gaara never slept, else the demon would take over. He used to look for her when insomnia consumed his being. She reminisced at how alike were those nights to this, only that they didn't have the same happy ending. His never-ending blood lust never could be satisfied by her, she knew that too.

The secrets I keep
They're tearing me up inside
I still hide and then I wonder why
I wonder why I'm still running when I know there's no escaping

"I was your first friend, wasn't I?" Her voice came out as a croak.

He stiffened, hesitating in his act of murder. She took the chance to voice her last words.

"What will you do when I'm not here?" She laughed. Dry and humorless.

Come undone

Surrender is stronger
I don't need to be the hero tonight
We all want love
We all want honor
Nobody wants to pay the asking price

His hands constricted tighter around her throat, because her statement couldn't be more right. What was he going to do without her? His mind drew a blank.

Fall on my knees

Fall on my pride
I'm tripping over all the times I've lied

His hair shone maroon in the pale moonlight, she couldn't make out if it was stained by her blood. Her arms lay limp by her side, she couldn't get out of his vice grip anyway. Sand was creeping up pass her ankles, slowly encasing her in its caress. Her breath already shallow, made worse by his strangle.

I'm pleading please

But when I look in your eyes
You don't need tears for alibis

His grip trembled, as if he couldn't bear to kill her. Though she knew better, it was just his mind in turmoil, for the final choice was long made.

"Why?" One word the rasp voice produced.

"If you knew this was your end, why did you still..." The sound faded into oblivion.

It's true what they say

Love must be blind
That's why you're still standing by this sinner's side

"Because... you always looked so lonely." Her tone was filled to the brim with melancholy.

"(Y/N)," The blonde confronted the girl.

"Yes, Temari?" Obsidian eyes flashed as a petite figure turned.

"Pardon me for being blunt. Please stay away from Gaara." The teenager advised, pleading for the girl to heed her words. "You're still young, think of what you'd do when you grow up. So please, stay away from him."

"You know, you used to say that everyone lived for a reason," The girl began, "I couldn't find mine though. Until then, I made the choice that my existence was for the sake of another."

"Why Gaara though?" The elder sibling asked, genuinely curious.

"Because... the first time I saw him..." She broke off with a sigh. "He was but a boy, without a proper grasp of this hellish world."

"Still'-"

"Let me ask you a question Temari," She cut the older blonde off, "What is infinite?"

Her answer was straightforward, "The universe."

The child smiled. "And the ignorance of fools."

...............................................................................................................................................

"Also, did you know... the ignorance of fools is infinite?" She managed. He had released her from his grasp, though the sand still encase her ankles.

You're still by my side

When all the things I've done
Have left you bleeding

"Stop!" His voice came out as a snarl. "Stop it! Whatever you're doing!"

He gripped his head in pain, fingers pulling at his hair.

"I'm not doing anything, Gaara," She said, almost calmly, "It's Shukaku, isn't it? Just kill me, satisfy your blood lust."

Slit eyes looked down at the petite figure with a predatory gaze, his demeanor changing instantly. She was his light, all along his journey in darkness. It was fierce and beautiful, like glowing embers in the hearth. He wanted it all to himself.

Come undone
Surrender is stronger
I don't need to be the hero tonight
We all want love
We all want honor
Nobody wants to pay the asking price

Her skull cracked as it was slammed against cold concrete. Blood dyeing her teeth red, the liquid escaping out the corner of her mouth. The sand crept pass her torso, covering her arms.

"T..take care of yourself.." Was all she said before the light in her eyes faded.

He let himself be selfish, let the demon inside take over. For once, there was no next time. As he hugged her figure close to his own, his heart pounded, as if trying to beat for the both of them.

For once, Sabaku no Gaara shed tears.
