Chapter 4
Cubone was tired of running, he was tired of being pushed around by everyone around him, and he wanted to take a stand. The Old Man had sacrificed himself so Cubone could have escaped, if Cubone allowed himself to be taken by these criminals then Vapen’s sacrifice would have been in vain.
“Is this what your after” said Cubone waving the book in the air, Mr YoSo looked up, “give it to me, and I might let you live” Mr YoSo said, desperately, Cubone ran for the back door he knew all too well that this was his fight not Sano’s; he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if anything happened to him. Mr YoSo, smiled, “I gave you a chance” he said before tugging out a small pistol from under his coat, he aimed, “bye bye” he whispered, however, before he had the chance to shoot Sano tackled him, crashing them both into the door, YoSo pulled the Trigger creating a deafening roar. Cubone ran on shaken; he did not have any time to see whether Sano was dead or not, this was the point of no return. A few minutes later, Mr YoSo appeared, he dialed a number and blurted, “Yes yes, I understand, bring him in”.
Half an hour had passed since the incident at Sano’s house, again, someone had to sacrifice himself for Cubone; he was upset about the fact he couldn’t even help his best friend, let alone call an ambulance. This needed to end, fast. Cubone got off the bus at his apartment. He entered the reception and made his way towards the elevators. As he pressed the button for the elevator to come down, bullets flew through the automatic glass doors, Cubone ducked as the bullets recoiled off the ceilings. At the entrance, stood a muscular stylish man, with silver hair and clad in a red leather jacket; in his hands were two firearms, with “Ebony and Ivory” scribbled on them. Quietly he made his way towards Cubone, just in time however, the elevator had arrived, and Cubone threw himself in and frantically pressed the 5th floor button. Seeing this, the man hurried his steps, however, the doors closed before he could get to him. Once the elevator had arrived at the 5th floor, Cubone made his way up to the rooftops.
“This is it,” muttered Cubone, he walked up towards the edge of the rooftop, “Contemplating suicide are we?” Cubone turned around only to see the man standing at the other edge of the rooftop. “I am Saek,” said the man, heading for Cubone with small steps, slowly but surely closing the distance between them. “I don’t want to hurt you kid” said Saek as he got closer, all I want is that book you have on you, hand it over and I’ll promise you it’ll be quick” he said ironically. Cubone looked over the edge once more “I don’t want anything to do with you, I haven’t done anything wrong” whispered Cubone, “ I am so sorry kid” retorted Saek before he revealed his twin firearms once more; he reloaded them and swiftly aimed them at Cue, and fired, Cubone braced himself only to see a blinding flash envelope the whole rooftop.
Saek looked up, shocked at what had happened, “impossible” he thought. Cubone was equally as shocked, the person standing before him was Gaara of the Desert himself.
Gaara poured out a swarm of sand from his gourd and surrounded Saek with it, with a few hand seals, Saek was on the verge of being crushed to death. Using his strength however, Saek withdrew his sword sending a flash of lightning through the sand ripping another explosion throughout the rooftops. He took this as a chance to gracefully glide next to Gaara in the blink of an eye; he withdrew his gun and fired at point blank, sending a bullet coursing through Gaara’s head. Saek’s eyes went momentarily red before they returned to their normal color. He looked at his opponent’s body once more, only to realize something was wrong and to his alarm, his opponent’s body had begun to turn into sand, and the kid was nowhere near in sight, he had been deceived.
