"Sand Dudes?" Asked Naruto curious.

"Yeah," answered Cole, "The people who kiddnapped us and gave us to their leader!"

Shirasagi panicked and took off with Ten Ten riding him. Cole started to tease them in horse language in such a dirty way that Tsunade would definitly wash his mouth with soap of she found out. However, when the man came close, Naruto recognized him.

"Kankuro!" said Naruto happily, "Thank Elohim you are here! Me and Cole are totaly exhausted! We-"

"I came here to arrest you for horse stealing," answered Kankuro grabbing Cole with one of his puppets and grabbing Naruto with another. He dragged them into Sunagakure in less than a minute. Inside the town, there were people working and working everywhere. Even kids were working. They were carrying rocks somewhere and coming back. Naruto and Cole tried not to look at anyone. Everyone looked Tierd or with the face of "I want to die." Cole felt like braking free and tell everyone to run away.

Soon, they arrived at Gaara's home in the center of the village. Outside, there were stables with beautiful horses. But all horses looked like things had Been taken from them. Naruto felt like going to them and freeing them so they could do as they wished. But he could not move. Some horses looked pityful seeing Naruto and Cole.

Soon, they got in and Gaara was waiting for them. He had a cold look on his face.

"So Naruto," he said coodly, "you dare to steal my horses and come riding them?"

"I didn't," said Naruto, "My father found them and gave Cole to me! He found them wandering in the desert!"

Gaara walked up to Cole and looked close at him. Cole responded with an angry look n his eyes. Gaara stepped back and made a smiling face.

"Do you talk horse?" He asked in a voice adults talk to babies.

Cole lowered his head and ears and clenched his teeth. He scraped the floor with his hoof and stayed in a position a wolf would stay before giving it's final strike on his pray. Gaara backed as if he wore scared.

"Answer me!" Shouted Gaara.

"I do," said Cole angrly.

"I see, another one. All my other horses talk. But they seem to have no manners. Tell me, what do you think of Sunagakure?"

"I hate every stone of it! You made the horses' and people's lives misserable! They work all day without stopping and are treated like if they had no feelings!"

"Silence you insolent horse! Kankuro! Take him with the others! I will deal with Naruto!"

"Wait," said Naruto, "Let's let Cole choose who to be with!"

Cole imediatly turned to Naruto, completly giving his back on Gaara.

"Kankuro!"

"Yes, Kazekage!"

Kankuro grabbed Cole with one of his puppets again and dragaged him off. Naruto was alone with Gaara.

"Gaara," said Naruto, "you are my friend! Let's stop this! Keep Cole if you want to, but take good care of him! Don't make him work!"

"Naruto," he answered, "I will still punish you. I will have to kill you! You stoll one of my horses."

Gaara turned to his guards.

"Take him away! Lock him where he can't get out!"
