Alright, here's the next chapter! Deidara comes in! –gasp-

---------------------------

Gaara liked Rakuda. He didn't want to admit it, but he liked her, a lot. Even Shukaku knew. She was always so nice to him, no matter what. Maybe it was because she feels his pain? Whatever the reason, she cared. He was deciding the pros and cons of asking her out. Pro, He might get his first kiss, and he won't have to baby-sit anymore con, it might ruin their friendship, AND she might say no. He would have to push himself to ask her. Maybe it would come out easier than he thought. He'd have to worry about this later. He needed to do this paper work.

As Gaara filled out his paper work, he glanced out the window. Something caught his eye. It was a giant bird, a bird that doesn't exist in the desert. He slipped out the window, hoping Rakuda wouldn't come any time soon.

The man jumped off of the bird. , his hair flowing all over the place.

"Infiltration completed." He whispered to himself. (A/N: Why does this remind me of a video game? -.-

He glanced up to see a guy with red hair. He looked to be about fifteen, with a tattoo with the kanji "Love" on his forehead. The redhead glared down at him. Gaara KNEW he was going to get it from Rakuda, but he didn't care. (A/N: Rakuda is his GUARD, meaning if he has to fight SHE has to do it for him.)

"What are you doing here?" he asked impassively.

Deidara did not respond. Gaara's sand began to pour out of the gourd. Deidara jumped back on his bird and flew away, the sand trailing close behind.

Rakuda sat in her room. She was content, unscathed. As she sat there in solitude, something told her she needed to go check on Gaara. She got up, put her shoes on, and walked around the building. Heading down the hallway towards Gaara's office, the same thing that had told her to go check on Gaara was now calling upon her. She recognized this energy, this, chakra. It was evil, and yet, still calm. Before she knew it she was face to face with the demon inside of her.

She stared up at it, she had never seen her demon before, but she knew right away what it was. The glowing Gold eyes with just a hint of red, the blood stained fangs, the black hair, oh yeah, this was the ten tails all right (A/N: A Demon I made up.) The demon scoffed as it looked at its host's current condition.

"Look at you! THIS pathetic piece of trash is what I'm inside of! Your eyes are more like that idiot Kyuubi's than mine!"

"Why, you're completely out of shape! Dehydrated, starving, all because you'd rather give your food to someone who doesn't eat every day! Your selflessness will get us killed! How do you expect to protect that Gaara kid if you can't even take care of yourself?!"

Rakuda snarled. How dare, that, that thing talk to her like that! After all, it is inside of her.

"What do you want?" she asked annoyed.

The creature looked at her in awe.

"You have the audacity to speak to ME like that! If it weren't for me you'd be dead in a ditch right now!"

"What did you call me here for?" she asked in a softer voice.

"That's more like it. I've called you here to offer my services."

Rakuda looked confused.

"S-Services? What kind of Services?"

The laughter of the monster rattled what little was in that room.

"Why my Chakra of course! You don't have the energy to go out and fight beside Gaara, so I'm giving you some of my Chakra."

Rakuda still looked confused.

"Why?" she asked, her voice cracking on the "Y".

"Because, if you go out there against someone and pass out from lack of energy, we're BOTH dead!"

"Sooo, this is so you won't die, not me?"

"If I wouldn't die if you died, than I would've killed you off ALONG time go."

Rakuda thought things over. What if she lost control? What if she accidentally killed Gaara? She would never forgive herself… and she would be crying forever. But if she didn't, Gaara would have a higher chance of dieing. After a few seconds of thinking she decided…

"I'll do it!" she answered assuringly.

Her demon snickered as she lended her enough chakra. Rakuda opened her eyes. She was back in the hall outside Gaara's office. As soon as she began to walk, she felt her jaws shift, and her teeth get sharper. She ignored the pain and stormed into to Gaara's office. The window was wide open.

"Gaara." She whispered sympathetically under her breath.
