One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. That word is love. - Sophocles

It's times like these I want to hold him.
"Get out! Get the hell out!"
I look down at him in pity. Shukaku gets his kicks out of torturing my little brother.
He clutches at his head, groaning in agony.
It's times like these I want to make it all better.
I kneel on the bed beside him and put my hand on his shoulder, but he smacks it away. He knows I can't help, so he pushes me away. I'm useless.
Temari stands in the doorway behind us, saddened to see Gaara like this. He's usually so powerful, but now he's as human as he'll ever be.
The monster in him is killing him.
But my favorite times are at night, when I tease and torture him in a different way. I show him that he can control that demon by loving me, both physically and mentally.
I'm taking him to Konoha. Maybe Naruto can help him understand.

Ugh, yeah, it sucks. Kiss my ass. I was bored.
