Prologue

I guess you can say that I've had a crush on Gaara since we were small because I remember watching him try to hurt himself, I remember seeing him walking through the dark streets at night, and I remember seeing his heart disappear. When I was younger I lived in the Village Hidden in the Sand, or Sunagakure for its inhabitants. I grew up knowing the story of Gaara, and how the Kazekage sealed the demon Shukaku inside the body of his unborn son. I always felt that I had some sort of connection with Gaara; we are both experiments that were to be used for nothing but the interest of war. Unfortunately this era the particular war weapons in mind were demons, very dangerous demons.

To me Gaara was the lucky one; his father was the one who ordered to have the demon placed inside his child. I was the stupid one who wondered off into the dessert on her own one day and was captured by a sick, twisted ex-jounin from Konohagure. I'll never forget that face, so pale, so terrifying. Although the one thing that sticks out in my mind the most is his name…Orochimaru. He took his pleasure in experimenting on the innocent, extracting new jutsu he had never seen. At the time I was too young to be able to even perform a simple jutsu, I was only six years old. To shorten it, my chances were slim to none and I was pretty much going to die when Orochimaru obtained an idea.

The day following my capture I was knocked out by some liquid that was poured into my mouth. When I woke up I felt completely different, my body was surging with power. I wasn't afraid of anything anymore, that's when he told me that he infused my DNA with that of a demon. I now am the human vessel of the seven-tailed dog demon called Setsuko. The dog demon Setsuko is believed to be the soul of a young girl who was assassinated because her dogs killed a very highly respected warlord. Go figure an estranged ghost who takes its anger out in the form of its favorite thing.

After the fusion Orochimaru became bored with me because I hadn't caused udder mayhem in his village. So one night about a month after my abduction, I escaped and made a run for home. In the time I had left Gaara many attempts were made on Gaara's life. It seems the Shukaku had caused Gaara to hurt other villagers, the Kazekage feared he was out of control so sent assassins after his own son. None of them could even lay a scratch on him because Shukaku's sand was quick to defend him. After these failed attempts the Kazekage sent Yashamaru, Gaara's own uncle to kill him. He would have almost done it if it weren't for the protective sand.

I was there when the assai nation took place, I was always there but I was always hidden. I was too afraid of what Gaara would think of me if he found out my true feelings, but not this time. This time I hid because I was heartbroken to see him go through so much mental pain, this time I wasn't afraid of him, I was afraid of myself. I had yet to seen what kind of damage my demon could deal and I didn't want to risk finding out in such a situation. In this village I was poor and lived on the streets next to a small weapons shop, I had nowhere left to go. After seeing an attempt on Gaara's life my own heart disappeared, so I ran. Somehow I managed to find my way back to Orochimaru makeshift village, for some reason I felt attached to him in a way. I felt like I belonged in that village, even though it terrified me. That was my home for the next six years, until the Chuunin Exams.

So did you like it? Please review…I'm almost desperate… Again this girl talking is completely made up by me as well as her demon. If anybody knows the real seven tailed demon I apologize. I'm just using my imagination. Also if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes, don't shoot me, I'm human ..XD
