Okay. Maybe I am updating sooner than I expected. I can't help it! I just love writing stories although I'm quite positive no one would read mine. Oh well, here goes my story. I give you Chapter 1 of "And the Darkness Fled"... Sorry for the crappy title. I just couldn't think of a good one.I suck at making titles so.. back off.I didn't study for my freakin' finals for this.. Well, maybe because I'm just lazy. ehehe.

Oh yeah, I suck at making action fics so.. back off too!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. It is a work by Masashi Kishimoto-sama. I do not earn money making this fanfic so don't steal it and don't use it as if you own it! I only own the OC Gaara is paired up with and her sister.

This is a GaaraXOC story. I may not ask for reviews but then, without it, I may not be motivated to write. I don't like Flames at ALL but if you insist, then expect hate mail in your inbox.(Joking.. I guess.. )

When Two Evils Meet...

It's been two years since the incident with Akatsuki had plagued Sunagakure (The Hidden Village of Sand). If it weren't for the help of Konohagakure (The Hidden Village of Leaf), the Suna no Kazekage would never be returned to Sunagakure.
Now, a new plague threatened the village. Suna nins prepared and gathered outside the city, stopping a giant shadow demon from entering Suna borders.
It was as huge as Shukaku's true form but it emitted no noise. The only sound anyone could hear was the sound of breaking bones and human cries as its palms crushed the nins.It moved as silent as the shadows, no one could sense its attacks.

"Kazekage-sama!", a nin gasped in surprised as Suna's great leader suddenly appeared beside him. The young Kazekage had short messy red hair and a human-size gourd attached to his back. He gazed emotionless at the giant shadow demon making havoc.

"Gaara!", a man with face paint and three scrolls on his back approached him.

The young Kazekage turned towards him.

"This is getting bad", the man remarked.

"Have you identified it?", the red-headed Kazekage asked, his voice void of any emotion.

"Unfortunately, no.", the man hesitated before answering, "We need more time to figure out what it is."

"There's no need.", the younger man stated, "I'll take care of this."

With that said, the young Kazekage clapped both his hand shut and send a tsunami of sand over the demon. He wrapped the demon with his sand, leaving it no space to escape. He slowly closed his fist in attempt to crush the demon.

"Sabaku--", he was about to deliver his final blow when he was cut short by his own shadow swallowing him whole. He could not react as quickly as he hoped for everything happened to fast.

In an instant, the Kazekage was swallowed by his own shadow while the giant demon was wrapped with his sand.
Another second later, both the shadow and sand simultaneously dispersed leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Gaara!", the man with face paint called out but only silence was his reply.

Both of them vanished.

Yeah!! A short Chapter!! XD Okay.. I know it's really REALLY crappy but BACK OFF! or not..

Wait for the next update. I WILL update coz I don't wanna turn into those people who'll just leave an unupdated story for 5 years or so. I will finish this no matter how crappy it is.
