Sunome looked wildly from Gaara to the Kazekage. She had heard that noise before…when she was young. Searching through her memory, her head finally clicked. 'A gun?' thought Sunome. She had once seen one in action, when she was a little girl traveling with her mother. The memory was blurry, but the noise had always frightened her as a child. Staring at the Kazekage, she shook her head. 'No…that couldn't be,' thought Sunome. 'Gaara's sand should be able to withstand bullets. If his sand can crush bones, bullets shouldn't be hard to stop.' Looking deeper, she tried to catch something that wasn't supposed to be seen. 'Maybe the gun was just the bait…something to catch our eyes with, while he did something else to Gaara.'

"Looking for something?" the Kazekage asked, interrupting Sunome's thoughts.

Sunome just ignored him, she would deal with him later. Now she had to find the hidden weapon.

"It's just me and this weapon. I have nothing to hide. You can come and check me if you want," Damasu said, opening his arms and grinning.

Sunome just glared at him.

"Then how did your weapon injure Gaara? You know, as well as I do, that Gaara's sand isn't the easiest to go through," Sunome asked, looking back at Gaara.

Looking back, she saw that Gaara wasn't gripping his wound. Instead, his eyes were closed and his breathing was back to normal. Sunome widened her eyes. 'He's calming himself,' she thought. Smiling, she knew that Gaara wasn't going to let his anger control him this time.

"Of course I knew. That creature was born into my village. How could I not know? But, I'll answer your question. It's the least I can do, before I kill you,' Damasu said.

"You see, this is no ordinary gun. It requires no bullets. The only penetrating force is the sun itself. This gun actually takes in the sun's heat, storing it in a valve. It has so much power it's sound is similar to a regular gun. It's my creation to the beast standing by you. Although I can't tell you the details of my creation, I can tell you this. Gaara's sand was stopped, because it cannot withstand the sun's heat, like his arm. It's as if both were touched by the sun's surface. And nothing can withstand the sun. But consider yourselves lucky. This gun can't go through two humans in one shot. For some reason, when it hits a living object, it only destroys what it hits. It's odd really. Perhaps I'll use your dead body to find out the cause," Damasu grinned, pointing the gun towards Sunome.

"Play time…" he whispered.

The gun exploded, and Sunome automatically dropped down. She made it in time, but the heat took out part of the ends of her hair. 'Kuso,' Sunome thought.

"Oh? I missed. Let's try a new target," Damasu said, now pointing it towards Gaara.

Pulling the trigger, Gaara opened his eyes, and also dodged it. He wouldn't be fooled again. Running to his left, he drew out his sand. He knew he needed to end this quickly. Only a few feet away, he threw his sand, when he sensed another ninja overhead. Darting to the right, his sand protected him from the falling shurikens. When his sand returned, ninjas jumped down, surrounding him. Gaara smirked. He couldn't believe that these many nins were still alive. The ninjas smirked back at him, thinking that because of his wound, he would be weak. As he stared at them, one threw a kunai, starting the battle. He coiled his sand around one, and then another. Preparing to crush them, an intense pain shot up his wounded arm, causing him to let go of the ninjas. 'Shit,' Gaara thought. He hadn't expected that his wound would affect him. Breathing heavily, he threw his sand to a nearing ninja. The sand crushed the nin, before the pain started again. Clutching his arm, he continued to attack the nins, when he heard a shriek. Crushing a nin in his view, he saw Sunome being held down by three men. One nin was holding her chin, as she spat in his face. As he slapped her, Gaara started running towards them. His anger was leaking as he recognized the men from the chakra-draining cell.

"Gaara…stop! No! It's a trap!" Sunome shouted, staring at Gaara's angered face.

As Damasu angled his gun towards Gaara, Sunome knew she had to do something. Since the nins holding her were occupied with their hope of Gaara's last moment, she decided that was her chance to save him. Biting the nin's finger on her left, he instantly let go, freeing her left arm. Throwing a punch to the nin to her right, she also kicked the nin holding her feet. She threw a hard punch to the nin who had slapped her, before running towards Gaara. The nin whose finger was bit, tried catching her, when he became engulfed with sand.

Sunome ran as fast as she could, hoping she could make it in time. Damasu grinned as he pulled the trigger. A loud sound echoed, and Gaara's anger vanished as Sunome fell towards him. He caught her, as both went down onto the ground.

"Sunome?" Gaara said, feeling her limp body.

Laying her on the ground, he looked at her face. She was smiling as blood trickled down the side of her lips.

"Told you it was a trap," Sunome grinned, before wincing.

Gaara ignored her words, staring only at her bloody chest. 'Shit,' Gaara thought. His anger had gotten the best of him again, but this time, Sunome was dying. He looked from her wounded chest to her face. She was still smiling as she half-closed her eyes. Continuing to look, he saw Sunome's eyes slowly fading, until he knew she was gone.
