Demon Heart

Gaara's pov

It was later that day when I was discovered that I had gone behind Tsunade-san's back and escaped the confines of the hospital. With strong demanding words from Haruno I returned to my room, keeping to be hospitalized for as long as needed. The girl that Naruto had called Amaterasu had been plaguing me all through the night and most of the next day. Even if I were able to sleep, I would have lost it. My thoughts conflicted against each other as I tried once more to figure out the mysteries of Demon Heart. But there was nothing that would come forth to me.

Her eyes were the same as hers was what I told Naruto. The more I stated that to myself the more I began to see the resemblance with those eyes. Although the girl showed she could feel emotion, none of them passed through her eyes. Demon Heart was the same. Although she had no reason to show emotion, her ice fire blue eyes remained emotionless and unfazed as anything. Amaterasu's eyes were just the same. The more I continued to resemble the two together, the more I believed that they were one and the same. But a part of me refused to acknowledge this. One part whispered out to me saying that they were two different girls that just so happened to resemble the other.

A knock rapped explosively on the door. I bolted from my bed, but I realized it was not from the door in which the rapped had knocked. It was from within me.

Haruno Sakura's pov

As order by my master I have confined myself within a room with the records of kunoichis fifty years into the past. It was nearing another completion of another day of being locked within this room, occasionally I was disturbed by a fellow kunoichi who left a meal on the table. My mind was too overworked with finding this kunoichi. What makes Tsunade-sama think that this kunoichi was once one of the Leaf Village? Shaking my head to disrupt the flow of the question, I retained focus on my task at hand. Through a large pile of scrolls I swept through the information, was there even a kunoichi who held such gifts?

As order I had multiple hands to aid me in this task and of course no one person was able to discover the parchment that retained the information we sought. I slowly grew agitated with this but I felt the pull to accomplish this task. Somewhere within this whole records hall that was going to be something, even if it was a small piece of information, I felt that that piece of information would be direly important. So I continued to search, even if my muscles begun to tire, I would continue searching until I have found the parchment. My blood was boiling for this need to find it.

"Haruno-san…" a female cried out as she raced over, a parchment in her hand.

I stood up from my pile of scrolls. "What is it?" She offered me the scroll and I took it from her grasp. I unrolled the contents and scanned over the words. With each passing word my eyes widened. "This is…" I could not bring anymore words to my lips, as if I was silenced from breaching the information from my lips. Upon this parchment… it must be a calling. The chakra specialist… we've found her. We've finally found her. A smile widened on my lips as I looked to the kunoichi who had handed me the information. "We've got her!" I call to the others who then burst into a cheer of celebration.

Tsunade's pov

Sakura burst through my door with excitement humming through her veins. Her bright face sunken to a pale hue when she noticed that not only was the sand Kazekage here, but so were his brother and sister who had come to collect him. Prior to her interruption, I had warned Temari and Kankuro not to allow Gaara to use his chakra in any circumstances. The risks were far too high, especially since no one really knows what it is that we are up against. But as I gazed at the pink kunoichi I had took under my wing, I can tell by her once excitement that she had some news. Giving a large hint at this was the scroll parchment clenched in her hand.

"What is it, Sakura?" I say as I crossed my arms and lend back against my chair.

"Forgive me for my interruption, Tsunade-sama!" she said as she walked forward and planted the scroll before me. "But this is something important. Contained within the scroll is a kunoichi that specializes in chakra."

Unable to contain my eagerness I grabbed the scroll and unrolled it and examined the contents.

"Just as I had thought!" I placed the scroll on the desk and looked at them all severely. "It's best to keep Gaara within the confines of the Leaf Village. It is much too dangerous for him to be wandering out in his condition."

"Hokage-sama, we need to get Gaara back to the sand." Kankuro stated.

"Kankuro's right, the sand needs him." Temari agreed.

"No!" I said strictly. "I know this girl more than you could possibly think. Although there is not much data about this kunoichi, but she has a chakra speciality that runs in her blood. It's one of her family heritages. But that is not what the matter at hand is." I closed my eyes. What would she possibly want with Gaara? She had wanted to be invisible to our sights and she just made herself conspicuous by kidnapping the Kazekage. What is her plan after disappearing five years ago?

"Tsunade-sama…?"

I looked at Sakura who glanced at my worriedly. I sighed heavily, having no choice but to face it. The child today that had kidnapped the Kazekage was because of my past mistakes. I would have to take responsibility for what has occurred. It was because of me she had left this village five years ago. Although she wasn't even part of this village originally! But still… that girl was my responsibility; I can't turn my back now that she has finally made herself visible before us. I have no choice but to deliver the news to them, that this child was more than they seem to think.

"Demon Heart is the heir to the Demon Goddess."

Demon Heart's pov

I glanced to the sky from a top the building. The skies were angry. The dark clouds were rumbling with thunder and lightning stroked across the sky. Rain soaked the streets and my body. The object of light lay hidden behind the tempest. The wind howled as it viciously snarled through the streets. The earth's chakra was at work here. Everyone would think that this is nothing more than just a storm, but it's wrong. Here in this world, everything coexisted of chakra. The natural phenomenon's that everyone has grown accustomed to as normal with the land, were actually the workings of the earth's chakra itself. The earth was always aware and always acting. An endless stream of chakra that gave birth to ninjas!

I too was birthed from this chakra steam.

But someone had uttered it and caused an angry response. I glanced over the buildings, trying to work out who had revealed the dark secrets that was supposed to lay at rest and dealt with through my village and clan. None other than my clan and village should have access to the secrets that plague our minds. Even within the village, the people were limited to what knowledge they know. A selected few of ninjas were provided with the information, and most of the time, there was hell to pay for when the information was revealed. Like now, there was hell to pay for someone had discussed something that was supposed to lay buried in these lands.

I heard the calling roar to call forth a joint attack. My heart went out to the heart of the tempest and responded. I will give aid, but I will allow the tempest to taste the flesh of the one who betrayed the secret from befalling from their lips. My blue eyes shot through the village that I could see. But it wasn't the village that I could see, but the streams of chakra that ignited the powers within the many ninjas. Through the streets pavements I could see the silver line that weaved all over the place. The earth's chakra stream! This land was blessed with it. There were so many thick lines!

Words flamed inside my ears and I jerked up to where I had heard them from. Call me a sensory type ninja and you'd be wrong. Although I am capable with that ability amongst many, my main form of chakra is not this. The truth hides within my blood that I would not reveal upon the world without the direst consent of the one who bade it forbidden. My bloodline runs strongly, but it is thin due to the small amount of blood bound family members. Our blood is far too strong for many people to be birthed into. My mother was lucky to have been able to birth me, a single child but she died at birth as a result. Every mother in my family line is prophesized to die at the birth of their first child. All except the One! To which this person still remains a mystery to me. I have not yet come of age to know of this most important secret that as a female of the family must know.

Males are considered the weak forms of our family. The females are supposed to be the ones that uphold the strength. A male is considered a weakness in the family blood to whoever birthed the child. It has been known that when a male is born into the family, the line of the one who birthed him has weakened over the generations. We have many males in our family, all of these are which my cousins, or distant relatives that still share the same blood as myself. But my blood is stronger than all for I am the direct heir. That is why I can say that my blood line is the strongest of most, the main family are the future of our clan, it is said that all happens within the clan and everything is known by them.

I don't see how my family can uphold so much powers or responsibilities. It's like we are supposed to be revered as sort type of God.

I scrambled across the rooftops with my feet rapidly closing in the distance of where I heard these words. My mind would need to become clear from my family. With a single thought, all my family business was pushed to the edges of my mind. But they would not be forgotten. I would have to return back to them some time. When I have to return to my clan, that is! The building that hosted the words of taboo approached and my eyes narrowed. To think that the words would be breached within this building! The Hokage must have lost her mind to think that this would go unanswered.

What plagues me is how she knew.

That would come another time. The punishment must be served first.

The screech came from within my mind and my feet slowed and then stopped. I glanced upwards. The warning there and I nodded up at the sky before I allowed my feet to take me towards the Kage building. Hiding with the clouds, disguising themselves as lightning, are creatures that I know are to be as deadly as the very element that flashes through the skies. Deadly creatures that serve only my family! Rapidly the building crept closer and closer and when I jumped towards it, I crashed through the window and stood on its ledge, the glass beneath my bare feet digging in, drawing blood but I felt nothing as I stared at the contents of the room before me.
