Okay, I'm fascinated by Shukaku and the relationship he has with Gaara, so I wanted to write at least one drabble that included him. I'm really happy with how this one turned out.
I don't own Naruto or any of its respective characters, including Gaara and Matsuri; it all belongs to the creator, Masashi Kishimoto.
It wasn't that he had anything against the boy. He had proven to be a good vessel, much better than those previous fools he had been bound to.
But, the boy was his container nonetheless. If he died, so did Shukaku. So, it was no surprise that the boy's preservation, and consequently his own, was the main concern here.
He knew everything the boy felt, everything he thought, so, of course, he was well aware of how Gaara felt about the girl. This is why he promised to dispose of her – in the most agonizing, sickening way possible. She was a weakness. The boy almost gotten himself killed once for her sake, he wasn't about to let it happen again.
Shukaku let out a wide feral grin at the thought. Once he was done with her, the boy wouldn't dare grow close to another living creature ever again. He would crush the silly ideals the boy had been harboring lately, and return him to his previous self-loving glory.
No, he didn't have anything against the boy, or the girl for that matter, he was just looking out for number one.
