Timeline: Yukinko has been in the sand for like a week.


Chapter 7: Family

Mera sat in her room. She heard what Yukinko had done. She was afraid yet at the same time excited. Such power. She could even feel the fear that had emitted from the deceased ANBU member through the walls. She sat on her bed a concentrated.

'Surin, can you hear me?'

'Loud and clear. What is there to report?'

'Well…..' Mera when and trailed on about what she knew.

On the border of the Sand country.

Surin had just finished her mental conversation with Mera. "Get ready to intercept any sand-nins that come this way!!!!"

POOF!!! The 4 ANBU-s that were with her earlier had transformed.

"Mah, Surin. Had the demon caused some trouble already? Or, was it Mera?" A woman with one of the friendliest faces you've ever seen asked, head tilted eyes closed. "The demon, Tori. A sand messenger might be on the way to the Cloud. I'm sure the Kazekage knows about the demon's killings by now." The woman opened her eyes revealing cold, cruel and dangerous, teal eyes and smirked. "So much trouble."

On the roof of the Kazekages place.

Gaara stared up at the night sky. It was amazing how the desert could change from a searing hot temperature to a cold one. Than, he heard some shuffling. Quickly he brought out his kunai, turned around and got into a ready position. Yukiko was standing there smiling. Gaara let out a sigh and put back his weapon.

"Training has got you excited, hasn't it?" Yukinko said standing by him now.

"Heh. I guess so. I've been practicing a lot." Gaara sat down and continued watching the sky. Yukinko joined him. "What's your family like?" Gaara asked out of the blue.

"My family?" Yukinko asked shocked a little. "I don't know, I have a father, a sister and a brother. My father is always busy, so he doesn't spend time with us. Temari takes care of us though. She cooks our food and plays with me once in a while but Kankorou is not very friendly with me." Gaara said.

"Wow, your sister sounds nice. Let's see my family. I'm not really sure what that means. To me a family takes care of you. I've already told you about Ka-san. There's an old lady who takes care of me. She always tells me to call her Obaa-san 'cause Kayako-
nee-chan doesn't call her that. Kayako-nee-chan is sometimes nice to me but she is barely around. She always has to work. Sometimes when she comes back she brings me something. So, I guess that's my family."

"Wah, your family sounds nice." Gaara said. "Emm, Yukinko-chan."

"Yes, Ga-kun?"

"What are you doing here? I mean it's about 5 hours till sunrise and there's no full moon tonight and all…."he began to trail.

"I'm not sure. I'm just not tired."

Kazekage's office

The Kazekage was in deep thought. According to the alliance agreement, if Yukinko did anything the alliance would not be affected. He sat in his chair, deep in thought. He could send them back but the month wasn't over. He could try to dispose of the problem.

But than it hit him. (A/N: Made him a little slowwitted. How else could Orochimaru Kill him and take his place.) The demon killed mercilessly, just like Shukaku. He could try and use it to his advantage. The thing now is how. He decided he should ask the Raikage (A/N:It's like the Kazekage/the Hokage for the Cloud Village) about the dangers that might be involved in handling this demon.

On the border of the Sand country

A group consisting of nine ANBU members landed in the clearing.

"What makes you think it has been taken there?" one of them asked to the only female member in the group.

"One villages from the small village we passed informed me they saw some people passing by with a child. When they left, they were heading towards to Sand." She answered.

"I don't see why we need the demon back. The village is better off without it." He snorted. A whiz was heard through the air. Quickly, The female ANBU pushed the guy. Three shuriken landed at her feet.

"Where did they come from?" One said scanning the area. All of them getting into their ready stance, "Genjustsu." Another said.The female ANBU quickly did a jutsu to see they had stumbled into a camp.

Quick as a flash Tori, attacked the female ANBU, only to have the attacked blocked at the last minute. "Mah, Kayako you've improved." She said smirking.


It gets more interesting. Sorry, I made this chapter short. I wanted to have a cliffhanger. So what do you think?
