The Past Shapes the Future

Chapter 2

Gaara wondered how he was going to leave the Village Hidden in the Sands unseen, he was the leader, the Kazekage for crying out loud. Another question he had was since he was leaving who would be the Kazekage in his place?

Gaara shook his head. "I told you dumb child that you would lose everything. Did you not believe me? Oh and one last thing boy before I go to sleep. Why should you care what happens to this Village, doesn't that go against what you are doing?"

With that the Gaara's Demon went to sleep, leaving Gaara to think. Gaara tied the bag off and put it over his shoulder. He left his room and went toward the gates leading outside the Village Hidden in the Sands. As he started trying to get out of the Village he was thinking:

There was no reason to care about this Village.

Naruto packed his bag and tied it off. He too left his room and started down the street toward the exit of his Village. The place where he grew up had dreams, friends, enemies, hell everything you could think of.

He walked to the gate, but was delayed seeing as it took him awhile to reach them. He, just like Gaara, though neither of them aware, was thinking hard as they were getting out of their Village.

Wasn't he doing the same thing as Sasuke had done two years and some time ago? Could Sakura handle him leaving too, after all she went through with Sasuke, could he really do this to her?

"Why do you care? You said you needed to d this, so why are you having second thoughts you stupid brat?"

Naruto thought about what he said, the Fox was smart, and this time was right. If he wanted to do this there was no thinking about anyone else or anything. Only yourself, in the end he was very wrong. Gaara had been right from the beginning wasn't he? How ironic things turn out to be right?

As Naruto left the village, he was unnoticed, exactly what he wanted. Though there was one thought no matter how hard he tried to get rid of it was there, and was staying there till he answered it.

Gaara had left the city and Village he had called home for so long, yet even though he was unwelcome. He had left his Village unnoticed just like Naruto, yet he didn't know that little detail. Gaara had thought more on what the Demon that lived inside of him had said.

Gaara smile as he came to a very welcomed conclusion, he was walking out into the desert's cold and lifeless embrace as he came across that conclusion he was so excited about. The smile was a cold one, lifeless, heartless, etc. He knew full and well that the old and now thought of better Gaara was back, he had a few bangs in his old bag of tricks, which he knew he would be trying out.

Though he had to admit even though he was his old self again he had this one thought that just would not leave him, he knew this Gaara would never have even for one second thought his, it still came and would not leave.

'Would anyone care that I am gone?'

They shook their heads, they had made a decision and they also knew that soon it would not matter even if everyone in the Villages truly loved them. It would all be over and it would finally end soon.

The Fox Demon chuckled when he told the Raccoon Demon what Naruto was thinking as he was leaving the Village he had called home for so long.

After the two Demons finished talking about Naruto the topic went to Gaara. The Raccoon Demon's turn was at hand to discuss what his host had thought as he too was leaving and left his Village.

The both knew this was going to be a great journey, but they knew they may have one little problem to deal with.

The Fox told the Raccoon with concern and a little fear in his voice, "I am worried that the brat I am living inside of will not be able to do this. We both know his nature, Gaara has a different one. Gaara will have no trouble; he will be able to do this to a perfect T. Though do you think that maybe Gaara will rub off on him?"

The Raccoon thought about what his Demon friend had confessed, he thought long and hard. Neither of them were really aware that their hosts were heading right for each other, and by the time Gaara left the desert they would actually find each other soon.

After the Raccoon was finished thinking he said, "Gaara may start the boy on the path, but Naruto will have to willing go down himself, that is for him alone to do. She on the other hand, chuckle has probably already set him down that path and him not knowing, you know she is like that. Present a fun topic and she will make it happen without anyone really knowing. Either way, she will deal with it, our littler Melinda always liked fun, and I do say this is fun."

The Fox looked at him doubtfully, "But…"

The Raccoon sighed and finished, "She may not want him down this path, who knows. It all depends on that damn mood of hers. It amazes me what she does when she is happy, though she is unpredictable, so if she is happy she may not do this and the same when she is angry. Damnit, if only we could tell what she would say."

The Fox laughed at his frustrated friend, "Yes doesn't everyone in both worlds want that, to be able to understand our little Melinda. I guess the only way to know is to go and find out."

With that that severed the link and went back to their hosts, having fun watching them struggle. This was going to be fun, and they knew even she would agree to that.
