Ahhh! I'm so sorry i haven't updated in so long! My internet has been confiscated (I'm posting this from school) And I've had a whole lot of school work... --' Excuses excuses i know... I'm really sorry...

Are you ready for Chapter three? Well If not... too bad! Here it is!

Shukaku was out. Rin ran. She ran like she had never run in her life.

"Nooooo!" she screamed. Shukaku turned to face her. "Please stop Shukaku! Please!" She was begging. She never begged. He could see her eyes pleading. Gaara fought against Shukaku, trying to force him into submission.

The sand fell away, Gaara fell with it. She rushed forward; to catch her demon boy. As she did so her hood fell back, uncovering her face and hair in the Hidden Sand village fore the first time. She ignored the surprise of the villagers as they saw her as human, after having believed only a monster would love a monster. She had eyes only for the boy in her arms. He was unconscious. Shukaku should be in control, but maybe he wouldn't come out right now. She hoped

He looked so peaceful, his eyes closed, blocking the trademark Gaara death-glare. She hated to do it but she had to. She shook him, he had to regain consciousness, Shukaku could come back any minute now.

"Nnnnn…" he groaned. She lifted him up so that she was supporting him with one of his arms around her shoulders and one of her around his waist. She set off at a run for the house. They needed to get out of the village before the villagers gathered their thoughts and came after them. At the house at least, they were safe.

Ten minutes later they were in the house.

"Gaara! Are you alright!" she was worried. She looked at him lying on the bed.

He was lying there his hand over his face, almost as if to shield him from something.

Oh my god… Let him be alright! He thoughts were desperate.

He rolled over, his eyes opened a fraction, focusing on her worried face, open eyes, slightly parted lips.

"Rin…"

She hugged him.

"THANK GOD YOU'RE ALL RIGHT!" worried tears ran down her cheeks. She buried her face into his neck.

"… thank god…" she whispered, exhausted.

"Its alright, I'm fine," his voice was gently, startling her. She looked into his emerald eyes. He smirked.

"Much better. Nice doesn't suit you." She stated.

"I know," he pulled his face into an apathetic mask.

"AH! You look like Sasuke!" Gaara's mouth twitched and broke into a grin.

"Speaking of my home village…"

"Oh man, tell me we aren't going again! Spending that much time with Naruto again will kill me… or maybe him…" he looked to the side skeptically.

Rin grinned, and snickered.

"No but maybe Tsunade or Jiraya could do something about Shukaku…"

"What! But then I'd be even MORE like Konoha's number one hyper-active ninja!"

"I know… It may insult your pride but it could save me a lot of trouble in the future." She raised her eyebrows as if asking a question.

"I guess you're right…"

"Hah! As always!"

"Damn you woman…" he glared at her.

She just stuck her tongue out at him and then grinned.
