EDIT!
(laughing) I would like to thank Tami for two things. Firstly, she
pointed out that I messed up while resubmitting my chapters, so chapter
three is now back. Secondly, yes I know it's moving slowly, but there
IS a plot. I promise. It surfaces in chapter five, which is why
I'm having so many problems. I also failed to mention
that in my head, Gaara has been practising with the Sand at
night. If you remember they said that Gaara was the only person to
MASTER the sand. Also, the Third Kazrkage used sand. So apparently you
can use the sand without being possessed by an evil tenuki that tries
to eat your soul.
