And here you are... Chapter 2 of "And the Darkness Fled"

Hm.. I really must make a good summary... Sorry about that though. I was kinda in a hurry.

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 gues.. )

This is one hell of a long story that might take 30 chapters or less. Bear with me, please. ( . )"

Yami no Resa

'Everything was black. It was like that time when I died, just before Chiyo-baasama revived me. I tried to open my eyes but instead they remained tightly shut. I opened my mouth to moan but no sound came from it. I was totally stiff. I could neither feel nor move my body.
'As my heartbeat raced with frustration, a slick tongue forced itself to enter my mouth and search for my own tongue to rub against it. I felt violated by the action and tried to push away the person who's doing this but my inability to move prevented me from doing so. I couldn't help but let it roam in my mouth, sliding through my cheeks and teeth then back to rubbing against my tongue.
'Strangely, I somehow felt energized. It left a trail of a sweet minty sensation in my mouth and the numbness slowly slipped away from my body. Without thinking, my hands moved from my sides to the shoulders of this person and I started 'kissing' back whoever was 'kissing' me.
'Am I enjoying this? I don't know.
'I slowly opened my eyes as my curiosity overcame me and was surprised to find two black orbs staring at me.'

The two hesitated before before breaking the kiss they shared. Void black stared into Teal Green. Their faces were centimeters apart from each other and she had to smile when she saw the surprise in his eyes
The smile quickly turned into a frown when the surprise in his eyes transformed into one of merciless rage. Sand suddenly crept up her thigh and slowly wrapped around her body, leaving only her neck and head visible.
The man who seemed to be controlling the sand studied the area. They were within a shallow cave beneath a cliff not far from the Sand City. He concluded this after seeing the vast desert at the opening of the cave. His gourd was laying not far from him. He stood up and neared it, placing the heavy thing around his back. He faced the female caught in his sand.

"Why have you brought me here?", he asked with an emotionless tone.

The female smirked, "Aren't you suppose to ask for my identity first?"

"I already know who you are.", he replied.

"Oh?", the female said, mildly surprise.

"You are the shadow demon who attacked my country.", he already answered before she asked.

"What proof do you have?", she asked in a stiff voice.

"Your scent.", he answered directly, crossing his arms.

She raised a brow as if saying 'can you elaborate'.

"The scent I smelled before I was abducted by that shadow emitted the same scent you have.", he explained.

"You have a sharp sense of smell.", she commented, "As expected from the Kazekage."

"It's just whatever you're using emits a scent strong enough even for a child to figure out who you are.", he stretched his hand towards her, palm facing front, "But I acknowledge your strength." (I hope anyone understood this sentence.)

She could feel the sand slowly tightening her small body.

"You're strong enough to kidnap me. I'll make sure you'll die quickly.", without a moment to loose, he closed his palm instantly crushing the... shadow?

His eyes grew wide. The human that was suppose to be inprisoned by his sand became a figureless black shadow. (Shadow. NOT shadow clone.)

He quickly scanned the vicinity looking for the female.

"I'm here."

He set his sight on the being sitting on a rock near the opening of the cave. As soon as he laid eyes on her, he sent out his sand again to attack the girl but was quickly stopped by her sentence.

"Sabaku no Gaara, I wanna make a deal with you."

He flinched at first. Then, he slowly summoned his sand back into his gourd. "What kind of deal?", he crossed his arms, actually considering this.

The female smirked when she caught his attention. "A deal to save your village from me."

"Go on.", he let her continue.

"I will free your village from my havoc if you agree to one thing.", she crossed her legs.

"And that is..?", he raised an invisible brow in question.

Her grin grew wide. "You'll soon find out."

Gaara was still confused.

She saw this and couldn't stiffle out a chuckle. "By the way, I'm Yami no Resa."

Resa gave him a childish smile.

"Gaara!" "Kazekage-sama"

The two turned their heads towards the entrance of the cave.

"Seemed like they're looking for you. Well, it hasn't been an hour since you were gone.", Resa jumped off the rock. "Saa, ikimasu."

Gaara gave her a 'where do you think you're going?' glare.

Resa noticed this, "Don't ya worry, we'll see each other later."

And with that, Resa disappeared like the shadows.

Gaara was given no chance to stop. He shrugged then teleported himself in front of the nins looking for him.

"Gaara!", the man with face paint was both surprised and relieved to see their leader appear before them still alive. "Where have you been?"

Gaara ignored his question, "Let's go back to Suna."

"What about the monster?", one of the nins asked.

"Everything's fine... for now.", was all he could say.

The man with face paint grabbed Gaara's arm. "What do you mean 'for now'?", he demanded.

Gaara gave him a look before shruggin off his grip. "It's all right, Kankurou. I have taken care of it."

Kankurou just sighed as he watched Gaara head back to the village. "You heard what the Kazekage said, let's get back."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and headed back to the village.

'Yami no Resa... What could you possibly want in exchange?'

Okay! I'm being generous for uploading another chapter too soon. Crap. No one's reviewing. Oh well.

Gaara almost acted like Kiba, neh? Well, I figured that now he's Kazekage, he's senses have developed or so. I know it's kinda a cliffhanger but wait for the next chappie, 'kay?
