"Maybe I'm injured too, like everyone else. I always hurt here"
Gaara explained, lifting his right hand up to his chest where his
heart was and holding, "I'm not bleeding, but my chest really
hurts here"
Yashamaru stared at him with upsetting eyes. He couldn't help but
feel ashamed and happy at the same time. Then after a moment,
Yashamaru walked over to Gaara and bent down on one knee, taking
the knife from Gaara's hands. He sliced a small wound on his
finger and let it bleed. Gaara stared at it, panicking.
"Flesh wounds bleed, and they may seem painful...but as time goes
by, the pain eventually disappears. And if you use medicine, the
wounds heal even faster. But the tricky wounds are the ones in
your heart. Those are difficult to heal"
"A wound of the heart?" Gaara asked.
"A wound of the heart is different from a flesh wound. Unlike a
flesh wound, there are no ointments to heal it, and their are
times when they never heal" Yashamaru explained. They stood there
a few minutes, without talking or moving. Then Gaara raised his
hand to his chest again, holding his hand there.
"But there is one thing that can heal a wound of the heart"
Yashamaru mentioned. Gaara's eye's widen. "It's a troublesome
medicine and you can only receive it from another person"
"What? How can I heal this?" Gaara begged.
Yashamaru stared at the photo of his sister, who was Gaara's mom,
"The thing that can heal a wound of heart is...love"
