I looked at my hands, they were covered in blood, the blood of the woman I loved. "No!" I looked down to the bloody carcass lying in the sand, Waist length black hair swirled around it. "Angel," I whispered, "no." the body of my only love turned her head to look at me in a way that wasn't humanly possible, her head swiveled on her shoulders like that of an owl. "Why Gaara?" she said in a pitiful childish voice, "Why would you do this to me?"

I sat up in my bed quickly when I awoke, in a cold sweat. "Gaara! Are you ok?" Kankuro asked as he ran through the door of my room. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine."I said putting my head in my hands. I stood up and put my kazekage cloak on and started to walk out of the room, only to be stopped by Kankuro. "Are you sure you're ok?" "Yeah," I said putting on a fake smile, "I'm fine." He nodded slightly and let go of my arm, letting my leave the bedroom I had come to hate. The only thing worse than the nightmares themselves, was the fact that I didn't even know who Angel was. I sat down in the chair behind my desk, "When did my life become so complicated?" I muttered to myself. There was a knock at my door, I waved my hand for them to enter. I was bombarded with ninja hiding a body in them much like adult elephants protecting their young, I forced back a smile at this image and stood up, showing them I was ready for anything. They parted to reveal a small body with a bag over her head, how could this small female cause as much damage as they seem to think? I nodded and they ripped the brown bag off of her head and threw it to the floor. I looked to her face that was hidden from my view by black hair. I softly moved her hair out of her face with my sand, keeping my distance. She snapped at it and glared at me with dark, gray, soul-less eyes. My breath hitched in my throat…Angel. "Leave." I commanded them. They started to protest but I looked at them, no, glared at them, a glare from the kazekage was not something you wanted. I grabbed her by her neck with my sand to show the nin I could handle it. They nodded and backed out of the room. As soon as they left, I released her. "I know you know who I am, I know you don't want to mess with me, and I know who you are." She looked up at me and smiled, "Who am I?" she asked, smiling with venom. I grinned, "Your name is Angel," her smile wavered, "Angel Taraskov." Her smile then disappeared completely. "How could you know who I am, no one knows who I am. Of course, except the Akatsuki…" she trailed off I smiled and then my smile disappeared, how did I know? I shook myself from such un-needed thoughts, "I am the kazekage and you will treat me as such, I do not have to explain myself to you." She winced and bowed, suddenly remembering her place. "You will sleep in my private chambers with me." She looked up as if to protest, "I am not planning to take advantage of you in any way, it will simply give me a better oprotunity to look over you." She nodded in agreement and followed me to my chambers.
