When we got back to the hotel I was carrying Kisa, she complained she was tired of walking and sat down in the middle of the street and demanded to be carried. I had to carry her for three blocks. Kankuro and Gaara offered to carry her but I declined. She'd throw a fit anyways.
I set her down on the couch when we got in, Azame sat on the floor and I was perched on the back of the couch. Kankuro was standing behind me and Gaara was sitting next to Kisa. Temari was in the kitchen.
"Why did you say that you kekkei genkai is a curse?" Gaara asked in his monotone.
"Huh?" I was confused; he never talked to me before. "Oh that... It's only a curse to us because we can't change our personalities; do you have a piece of paper and a pencil?"
Kankuro handed them to me. I jumped off the couch and went to the table in the middle of the room. I set the paper down and drew the Yin and Yang sign.
"Like I told Kankuro I am the Dark side, or Yin, and Kisa is the Light side, or Yang. We can't change our personalities for very long, we don't have that control yet, the dot or the 'eye' of the fish is the little other personality we have." I walked over back to the couch and sat down.
"So that little outburst that Kisa had when you wanted to fight my sister, was her black dot?" Gaara asked blankly.
I nodded, "and as you could see it didn't last very long."
"What about you?" he asked, "What about your white spot?"
I shook my head, "It's very small, almost nonexistent. I used to hate Kisa..."
"Why?" Gaara asked. Everyone looked at me for my answer.
I smiled at my sleeping twin, "Because she was always happy, and I never could be, but I realized that she was suffering too, she couldn't hate people, no matter how much she wanted to."
"What about you?" Kankuro asked looking at me.
"I can't get close to anyone," I said with a sigh, I stood up "I'm going to bed. Goodnight."
I walked off into the room that no one was using with Azame at my heels, "You can get close to people, if you try." She said softly.
I shrugged, "It's not worth it, and you remember what happened last time I tried? They couldn't handle my attitude."
She looked away, "Yeah, I remember."
We went to bed then. We were asleep for about three hours before Gaara came in carrying a screaming Kisa. I sat up and ran over to him.
"What happened?" I asked taking her from him, "Kisa wake up?"
"Bad Nibi is going to get me!" She screamed thrashing in my grip, "Someone help me!"
"Who is Bad Nibi?" Gaara asked watching me try and wake up Kisa, Azame was next to me trying to help.
"Before we came here we were stopped by a man," I explained wincing as Kisa hit me in the face, "He called himself Orochimaru, he said he wanted me and Kisa. He attacked us when we refused but we escaped. Kisa calls him Bad Nibi because he used snakes."
When I was hit in the face again I finally slapped her, "Kisa wake the hell up! He's not going to get you!"
She opened her eyes and then tried to strangle me with a hug, "Oh, Kyr' he tried to take me and you away!"
I patted her head, "its ok, and he's not here." I cooed, "You know you're heavy right?"
She jumped down, "Sorry, can I sleep in Panda's room tonight?"
"Um, well," I pulled a hand through me hair, "I don't know." I looked at Gaara.
He shrugged, and Kisa ran and hugged him, "Thank you Panda!"
I grinned and watched them walk out of the room. I then sat on the bed next to Azame "Do you think there's something more there?"
I shrugged, "Maybe, but they're both oblivious to it." I said yawning, "Come on let's get some sleep."
"You know Kankuro likes you right?" She asked me while I lying down.
"Yeah right," I laughed, I pulled the pillow over my face, "He doesn't like me."
"Yes, he does," Azame said with a yawn, "you're the only one he talks to."
"Go to sleep, Azame," I mumbled into the pillow.
The next morning we got up early and got ready, me and Kisa pulled our hair up and put our head bands around our necks. Then we left.
We stood at the gates of the Forbidden Forest waiting for instructions.
