The great sand beast licked his lips, watching the pink haired maiden from within his cage. She turned around and smiled, though it was not to him but to the boy. She then turned to greet the brat's two siblings. He didn't mind. The boy found this female fascinating and Shukaku wanted the boy to claim her. He pulled back his lips, revealing sharp teeth and growled at the boy. He would not listen. He should. He had helped the boy in his past with his grief and sadness. Shukaku remembered the first time the boy had truly killed. It was the night that the boy had carved out the 'Ai' symbol on his forehead. When the boy had finished with that task the boy had asked Shukaku what to do. Shukaku had answered the boy:
"Kill," He had whispered, "Kill everyone in your way and prove your existence! Show them who you are, and they will not forget you! Make them suffer!"
Shukaku leaned back against the bars and mused over the memory. He then focused his gaze upon his Jinchuuriki's mate and sighed. How long had it been since they had met her? He remembered that three years ago there was that loud boy, that…Kyuubi… Jinchuuriki who had shown his Jinchuuriki that there was other ways to exist. The boy made friends with that loud blonde, but Shukaku had never truly liked that idiot. His Jinchuuriki had gathered his nerve one time and asked him why.
Shukaku had stared at him for a long time. The boy had finally shrugged and left. Shukaku would not answer. He started to snarl as he remembered what had happened. At that time when the noisy boy had punched his container Shukaku had heard him.
That fox.
Kyuubi
and he was laughing.
At him.
The sand beast growled darkly as he thought of him. He remembered what he heard right before he fell back into the brat's mind:
"You're pathetic! Such a weak child…heh…even my brat can defeat you…heh!"
Shukaku had snarled right back at him:
"This boy will defeat yours one day! You watch!"
Shukaku pulled his mind out of the old memory and firmly gripped the bars of his cage. His grip tightened he felt this texture a million times and it never broke.
Only if I will it.
The boy had told him quietly.
Shukaku closed his eyes. He found it hard to concentrate on anything. This blinding rage had consumed him for so long, he wanted revenge.
The boy's voice came again.
Calm down. Tonight you may kill.
Shukaku opened his eyes slowly at those words. He had not been out for three years.
You serious kid? I can really come out?
Yes. Tonight, on the full moon, you may raise your head and roar.
Two yellow eyes that were seething anger had calmed. Slowly a feral grin spread on his face, which passed to the boy causing a shudder to pass between the two siblings that were present. Sakura stared at the boy who was grinning. An eyebrow rose. Shukaku heard his container laugh and he joined in, causing fear and panic. But what the boy loved was the girl who refused to be intimidated. She just smiled and turned away telling the boy that she'd be right back.
Shukaku slowly felt control in his reach once more. He licked his lips. He could taste the girl already.
Don't you dare. That's mine.
Shukaku laughed softly as he watched her leave the room.
I know that. Don't worry. She's yours!
Shukaku stretched and paced towards the window and lent out. He smelled the sand and the village. There was hardly any fear. But that would change soon.
Tonight, I will indeed roar!
