Hospital Besieged

I was sitting with Kankuro up in my hotel room. My mind couldn't stop flickering back to last night. 'Gaara said he might kill Sasuke.....Would he really go that far?'

I laughed at myself. Why even ask that question? I knew the answer before I even thought about it. Of course he would. Gaara always goes that far.

Kankuro interrupted my thoughts by snorting. "Those guys are eating barbeque again." he said looking out the window. "Giving themselves a reward for training so hard, I guess."

I glared at him. I hated how he acted toward the Leaf ninja. "Hey, I thought you were supposed to be watching Gaara, Kankuro."

"I'm not his babysitter. Isn't that your job?" he smirked making me glare at him more. He chuckled. "Don't worry. Even someone like him wouldn't do anything in broad daylight."

I sighed. With the way Gaara's been acting lately, I couldn't be so sure about that.

"Anyway, what about you?" Kankuro said making me look up at him. "That guy, Shikamaru or whatever his name is, he's the first guy you're fighting right?" He looked at me smirking. "Shouldn't you be formulating a battle plan?"

I glared and looked away. "Hah! There's no way I'd lose to a guy who's at that level." I looked down sadly. "Besides, what does it matter? The only match that really means anything is Gaara's and you know it."

Kankuro stared at me for a few seconds then yawned. "Man, the day sure goes by slowly when you're not doing much of anything."

"I guess." I said looking out the window with him.

Just then there was banging on the door. "Open up! Now!"

Kankuro and I looked at each other then walked over to the door and answered it. Baki was standing there. And he didn't look too happy. "Huh?" I said confused.

"So what's up? What's all the ruckus?" Kankuro asked.

"You idiots!" Baki yelled. "Didn't I tell you not to let him out of your sight for a second?!"

Me and Kankuro gasped. 'Gaara!' I ran to the room I left him in and opened the door. The room was empty. "Oh no!" I gasped. "Gaara's gone!"

"Yeah, but where?" Kankuro asked just as scared as I was. I didn't know what to do. Would Gaara really.......I suddenly thought of something, and sprinted out of the room. "Ami!" I heard my name being called but ignored it and ran. I had to make sure he was ok. And I had to stop him before......

I ran to the hospital and through the front doors. I looked around but didn't see anyone. Not even the secretaries. 'No!' This was not good! I ran down the halls, looking in all the rooms. I had to find him. I knew very well which room he would be in. There were only two people Gaara was likely to attack right now. And the last I heard the one was missing. 'I have to find Lee's room quickly! Before I'm too late!'

I ran down the hall then finally came to Lee's room. I knew it was his because his chart was on the outside of the door. I quickly threw the door open. "Gaara!"

Gaara didn't look at me. He was standing next to Lee's bed clutching his head in pain.

"Gaara!" I ran over to him but stopped when I saw the crazed look in his eyes. My eyes widened. This really wasn't good! "No!"

He ignored me and let his cork out of the gourd as sand started slithering across Lee's body. "Gaara stop!" I yelled but he acted like I wasn't there. He was too crazed right now. I didn't know what to do! Gaara was too far gone to listen to me. So how did I stop him?!

Suddenly my body froze. 'What the!?' It was like I couldn't move on my own. I noticed Gaara had froze too. Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone punch Gaara. I gasped. "Gaara!"

I heard a cry of pain but it came from across the room. I looked over and saw Shikamaru, the kid I was fighting in the exams, and Naruto Uzumaki was with him. He was the one who punched Gaara. "What the heck do you think you're doing in here?! You rat!" Naruto yelled.

I glared at him. Just because what Gaara was planning to do was wrong, didn't mean I minded people being mean to him. Shikamaru wiped his face. "Hey man. Go easy. I'm using my Shadow Possession Jutsu so if you're bashing him you're bashing me too! Got it?"

'Shadow Possession? Well, that explains why I can't move.' I glared at him.

"Sorry Shikamaru." Naruto said apologizing. Gaara's face started cracking and I realized he had used his sand armor to protect himself. Naruto walked over to stand beside Shikamaru and turned his glare on us. "Out with it! What are trying to pull?!"

I glared at them. "Before we answer anything, can you tell me why I'm being held in this stupid jutsu too?"

"Because, you're his teammate. Of course you'd be willing to help him with whatever he was planning right?" Shikamaru said matter-of-factly.

I stared at him. He was smart, but not enough. "Not true. I wouldn't help my other teammate with anything."

Shikamaru sighed. "But you're his*gestures to Gaara*girlfriend right?" I blushed and glared at him. Ok, so maybe he was smarter than I thought.

Naruto tightened his fists at his sides and glared at Gaara. "Well?! You gonna tell us what you were gonna do?!"

"I was going to kill him." Gaara said making me sigh.

'Does he always have to be so up front?'

"What?" Naruto said shocked.

"You already beat him once in the competition." Shikamaru said. "What's your problem? Wasn't that enough for you? Do you have some kind of personal grudge against him or something?"

"I have nothing against him." Gaara said not phased by this situation at all. "Its nothing that complicated I simply want to kill him that's' all."

'Again with the straightforwardness...' I sighed.

Naruto pointed his finger at Gaara. "You know what?! You're sick in the head! You're crazy!" he yelled.

"Yeah," Shikamaru agreed. "You think we're just gonna stand by and let you do whatever you want? You sick selfish psycho!"

I growled. Now they were going too far. "Hey! Stop talking to Gaara like that! You don't know anything about him!"

Naruto looked at me. "What do you mean?"

I didn't have time to say anything before Gaara spoke. "If you don't stay out of my way I'll have to kill you two as well."

"OH REALLY?!" Naruto yelled putting his fist out. "WELL LETS JUST SEE YOU TRY IT!"

"Hey!" Shikamaru yelled at him. I could tell he was scared. And I could understand why. They had both seen what Gaara is capable of at the Preliminaries. But that was nothing compared to Gaara's full power......

"Woah kid take it easy!" Shikamaru continued. Then he glared at Gaara. "Yeah yeah, we watched your last match against Lee. We know you're tough." he smirked. "But you know, Naruto and I have a few little tricks up our sleeves as well. We were holding back in the competition. There are things you haven't seen yet."

Naruto looked over at him. So did I. 'Is he for real? Does he honestly think we'll believe that him and Naruto are super powerful? Give me a break.'

"On top of that," Shikamaru continued. "Its 2 against one."

"Hey!" I yelled catching what he said.

He looked at me. "I don't like fighting girls. Its a drag. There'd be no reason to fight you too."

I glared but didn't say anything. If they really were planning on attacking Gaara, he wouldn't need me anyway. But still, I was kind of glad I was fighting Shikamaru in the finals. Then I could show him what I could really do.

"So why don't you take my advice, and go. Quietly." Shikamaru continued talking to Gaara.

Gaara didn't look at all phased by the two boys threats. "I'll say it once more: If you get in my way, I'll kill you."

Naruto threw his arm out again pointing at us. "AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN LETS SEE YOU TRY IT!" I had to hold in a giggle. He was quite persistent wasn't he?

"Hey back off will ya?!" Shikamaru said nervously. "We don't wanna go there! This guy fights like he's mad! Like he's a demon or something!"

Naruto relaxed a little and smirked. "He can act like a demon if he wants to but you know what? I've got the real thing inside of me!"

My eyes widened. 'What? Does he really have a demon in him too?' It didn't seem like he was bluffing like Shikamaru was doing earlier. Naruto's smirk turned into a glare as he watched us.

Shikamaru nudged him. "Idiot. Leave this to me! What's the point of getting him mad?"

"A demon huh?" Gaara said finally speaking. "My demon is as real as yours is." I looked up at him shocked. Was he going to tell them?

A/N: Ok so, this was really hard to incorporate Ami into this part considering his whole speech about not loving anyone and everything, but I think the next chapter turned out ok. Anyway, review please!!
