Part 9-Decisions
This… This is MY blood. He laughed again, this time louder, more insane. Blood dripped from his brow and splashed on the floor. He lay down on his side, he wasn't going to sleep, he knew better than that. He closed his eyes and felt something on his face. "Ritsuko…"
It was licking away the blood on his face. His eyes flickered open and he looked at the rabbit, it backed away a bit. "You're scared of me? No surprise…"
It licked away some more of the blood on his face
"Ritsuko…?"
It cocked its head to the side and stared at him, it's red eyes boring into him.
The rabbit likes the taste of blood…
I thought you were going to be quiet Shukaku
It likes the scent too…
I know how to hurt you Shukaku, I've figured out the weakness of the sand's auto defence
That's why it followed you, not because it cares…

It's not only up to her…
Give it up Temari, you're turning to yourself for advice and even I'm against you, face it, you don't have what it takes.
Just shut the hell up
You know it's true Temari… the voice faded away, Temari rocked herself for comfort and finally decided
I'm going to learn these jutsus, get stronger and pass this exam… who knows the sand better than the sand nins?
She stood up and prepared herself for the next skill, "No rest for the wicked, eh?"

Gaara's eyes flickered open. He looked around through the haze in his eyes, as he adjusted to the surroundings he realised that he didn't recognise his surroundings, he sniffed and realised that he was surrounded by the stench of blood. He reached up to wipe the dust from eyes and saw that he was covered in blood. He jumped back and shouted, he didn't know what he said, just that he didn't understand what was going on.
