The Shukaku bearer still seemed to be in a state of shock. "Who was that?" he asked in his normal voice.
"That…was your Nobody, Gaara-kun." Sennyo quietly replied to him, worry and fear danced in her turquoise eyes.
"Kaimu." Temari and Kankurou said.
Gaara just 'hmmed' and then said, "Sennyo, why is it that you can manipulate sand and shadows?"
"Yeah, do you have a d-demon inside you as well?" Kankurou added. Sennyo eyebrows tilted into a frown.
"I have the gift of being capable of stealing jutsu, Kekkai Genkai, and other gifts, a lot like the Mangekyou Sharingan." she told them.
"You have never seen me use Sabaku Kyuu." Gaara said without any emotion behind his voice.
"I saw you take down those Rain ninja from a tree I was resting on, as did those three…" Sennyo pointed to the second floor at Team 8: Aburame Shino, Inuzaka Kiba, Hyuga Hinata, and Akamaru. Kakashi who was just standing to the side reading his book suddenly butted in.
"You have the Sharingan, but how?" Sennyo hadn't expected this question, not yet at least.
"I told before. I can steal jutsu and other techniques. Byakugan and Sharingan are included. You too have a Sharingan in your left eye, correct?" The twenty-seven year old man grunted "Who is this kid?" he thought.
Sennyo cyborgnetically connected with the sensei and said to him I also know who is up against who in the Third and Final Exam. Kakashi gave her a surprised look: she just gave him a creepy as in cold smirk.
Kankurou turned to Sennyo and asked, "So, why weren't we erm, frozen in time?"
"Anyone who has met me personally has connected their heart with mine and mine with theirs' as well…wait a minute…Orochimaru-san! He has met Rei-chan, Hoshi-kun and me already and he knew my name!" she gasped in a whisper.
"O-Orochimaru?" Kakashi quickly said.
"Yeah, you know the guy who gave Uchiha Sasuke-kun the cursed seal?" Sennyo simply and plaintively said to him. He glared at her.
"How do you know of that?"
"I'm not an idiot, I know of Orochimaru-san's history," She hissed: another lie. Lying was a normal basis now in order to conceal her identity as well as Hoshi and Rei's and the World Border, "if I am to fully restore Rei-chan and Hoshi-kun then I must go. Kakashi-kun, if you meet a man in a black coat with red hair, green eyes with black triangles under them then you can trust him."
"Whatever." he nonchalantly commented. Temari and Kankurou bowed their heads a little and began to ascend to the stairs. She walked away from them. A 'Save Point' circle from Kingdom Hearts appeared at her feet. Gaara was about to follow his siblings and the sensei but Sennyo stopped him.
"Gaara-kun." Sennyo said at a volume where only he could hear. He gave her an emotionless stare.
"Yes?"
"Thanks for everything."
"What are you talking about?" he questioned.
"You showed me that just because I am near immortal that doesn't mean that others are and I can't just go around thinking that way," The ninja stared at each other in silence in a non-romantic way, "I want to give this to you, please add it to your collection." A handful of sand floated above her open hand, Gaara had it draft over his open hand, the twelve-year old could smell…blood.
"It is you blood in sand form."
"Yes." It glided out of his hand and seeped into his gourd like pouring water into more water. "In your greatest time of need or if you, Temari, or Kankurou do I'll be there with a seconds. I promise."
"The ashes in your gourd, what are they for?"
"They are ashes of memories dear to many, blood, the earth, parts of people, even water. The original owners of the blood and body pieces such as hair, I can take their abilities, techniques, as well as elements and use them as my own."
Gaara had some sand slither from his gourd into her hands, as soon as it was in her grasp she cupped her hands around it and caught in on fire. She added it into her gourd. "See you around, Gaara-kun." She softly said, a sad smile almost breaking upon her lips.
"Goodbye." He replied with hardly any motion whatsoever. He began his way up the stairs but looked back just in time to see her disappear in a slow flash of white and golden light.
