Hi. My name is Gaara and I am the heir to the throne for becoming the King of the Pridelands. My mother died when I was born and my father abandoned me after learning that the demon inside me caused her death. Everyone inside Pride Rock hated me. But my friend Naruto's family adopted me so I didn't feel as lonely anymore. The demon had a thirst for blood and I always had trouble controlling it. Every now and then I lose control and kill a fellow ally. Now everyone fears me for what I've become. At least my adoptive family still loves me...
I felt a sharp claw dig into my shoulder. Unsure of what it was, I pounced on them ready to kill but to my surprise, it was Naruto. "Got you Gaara! Bet you were scared!" "I was not! You just caught me off guard is all." "Fine. Oh Gaara, I thought of a way to control that thing inside you." "That thing has a bame you know. It's Shukaku." "Whatever. Follow me."
I had no idea what Naruto was up to but I was too curious to refuse. We walked all the way to an open field before he said "What if you try taming Shukaku by hunting?" I thought that was stupid. Until I realized that it was very similar to what I already do. I tried and it didn't stop the craving at all. The feeling of catching my prey only made me want to kill more.
Giving up, I went back home to rest. Shukaku doesn't let me sleep so I try to get one of my siblings to keep watch. Temari worries WAY to much over and Kankuro doesn't really care much. "Gaara, you need your rest. I'll keep watch." Temari always does this when I don't want to rest. To me, its an utterly pointless thing to do. Just to please her I got layed down and pretended to sleep. A few hours later, I got up once I knew everyone was asleep and went outside.
Everything seemed so peaceful. To peaceful to me. All of a sudden, I heard a rustle in the grass and spotted the most beautiful thing in my entire life. A female lion cub came out to me. Her fur was white as snow like mine and her eyes were as green as an emerald. She was coming directly toward me. Do I attack her? Is she an enemy?
