I can't believe how long I waited to continue this! I hate it when people do that (does that mean I hate myself? O well I don't care) I have discovered a time consuming thing… World of Warcraft (dun dun dun) I have been spending all of my time playing that. I have had a Shukaku craze lately and said to myself (what a wonderful world lol) "wait, don't I still need to finish Bet with a Demon?" so I'm continuing it. Thanks to all the people who have reviewed and I want you to know the reviews were part of my inspiration. Ok, rant over please read.

Gaara crept into his room after a long day of training and lay down in his bed. Today was the day he was going to let Shukaku take over. "Shukaku I'm going to fall asleep now and if when I wake up something is wrong…"

'Ok, ok I get it now fall asleep and give me some sweet freedom!'

"This isn't about your freedom, this is about you losing the bet and me being able to sleep."

'Fine whatever… and I don't plan on losing'

"Pfh, you won't win"

'We'll see'

Gaara soon found a comfortable position and closed his eyes. Not long after he fell asleep.

"YEAH!!!! IM FREE!!!" Shukaku shouted.

Hearing her brother scream, Temari ran into the room "Is everything ok?"

He turned to look at Temari 'crap what do I say? Uh I need to sound like Gaara' "Yes. Now..Uh…get out of my room!"

She left as he raised his voice.

Shukaku got up, opened the window, and jumped out. He stood motionless as the grainy wind was moving thru his hair. As he glanced downward he noticed that the sand was attaching to his hand creating claws. He forcefully removed the sand so that he would look normal as possible. He sighed and leaned back on the wall.

A few kids ran past him and he had the sudden urge to catch them and crush their skulls in, but he refrained himself from doing so because he knew Gaara would find a way to kill him if he did. He merely watched the children as they passed.

Shukaku heard a sound behind him and swiftly spun to face it. Standing there was Baki. Baki handed him some papers and went off to take care of some other business.

He shuffled thru the papers and realized he, Temari, and Kankuro were supposed to go to another country to tack something called the chunin exam… whatever that was, but it looked like a complicated mission that Gaara was supposed to be a part of.

'Damn Gaara gets an assignment while he's asleep… that means I'll have to wake him up… how do I do that?'

Shukaku tried a multitude of things, screaming at himself, whacking himself, and try to scream at Gaara thru the mind, but none of them woke up Gaara.

'Looks like I'm gonna have to do this mission. What is it anyway?' he looks thru the papers, it was an assignment to destroy a rival village 'I can do that. This is what I wanted all along, break things'

He smirked at his good luck and noticed that Temari and Kankuro also had a sealed letter. Being the nice and caring demon that he was he knew he shouldn't open it.

Almost immediately he tore open the letter and read the inside:

Temari, Kankuro

We are to attack the leaf village during the chunin exams. This attack has been issued by your father, the Kazekage. You will gather as much information on the leaf ninjas as you can. The attack will begin during the final fights. If possible gather as much detail on a ninja named Uchiha Sasuke. Lastly your mission is also to keep an eye on Gaara and make sure he sticks to the plan. He will be notified at a later date. More information will be given to you at the arrival to Konoha.

-Baki

He folded the note up and put it back in the envelope he had got it from.
