We left Tanuki(Hinata) and Kaze (Naruto) happy with their new lives in Suna. They knew they couldn't stay, but they also knew they could at least become chunin under the Yondaime Kazekage. He seemed nice enough,k and to somewhat care for them. But then came Gaara's birthday.

Tanuki and Kaze were at the half assed party that his brother and sister tried to put on for him, but Gaara wasn't around. Kaze looked around, and realized the window was open/ he thought to Tanuki, that he was going to find Gaara. She nodded at him, again, Kaze was happy for the seal Kurama had given him to place on his mate.

Flashback

Hinata was crying, Hanabi had used the Caged Bird Seal on her again; Naruto was there and he was furious.

"Kit, I have an idea." Kurama told him about the seal.

"Hinata-hime, Kurama has an idea." and Naruto explained the seal to her. A small seal to be placed on her shoulder blade, that would allow Naruto to hear her thought s, communicate with her over long distances, and know when she's in danger. Hinata agreed, even though she was afraid it would hurt. But it hadn't. it had felt like a warm hand touched her and spread a soft heat through her body. Her Narut-kit was with her allays

End Flashback.

Kaze lighted on the roof after swinging himself out of the window and up. He was surprised to find Gaara facing one of the ANBU. The ANBU was throwing sharp objects at Gaara, who stood there, his sand blocking it. Furry rose in Kaze's chest. He leaped forward and stood in front of Gaara, his scythe at the ready. Gaara looked at his blue haired friend in surprise.

"Kaze? Move." Gaara said. Kaze paid no heed. The ANBU shrugged,

"I'll just kill both of you."

"Gaara. I know what you are. Because I am too. We have to stick together, Brother." Kaze growled, his eyes flared red under his contacts, and red chakra coated his body, his blue hair became more mussed, and his fangs grew even more.

'Kaze?" Gaara actually showed his astonishment at his friends change.

"I'm like you. You just have to find a cause, and let that be your drive, and you can do anything." Kaze's voice was double toned, melded with Kurama's. Kaze leaped forward, and swung his scythe. The ANBU wasn't even touched by the blade, but he fell, his top half severed from the bottom. Gaara frowned in confusion and touched his head, Kaze looked up and around,

"I know your watching Kazekage! Did you hear me? You want to kill Gaara, you'll have to kill me too. Which will be impossible." Kaze growled to the empty air.

And he had been correct, the Kazekage had been watching, but little did he know, that he was going to be struck down at that very moment. A blade ruptured through the Kazekage's chest, a pale man stood behind him.

"Well, Hiro, you seem to have made a mistake." Orochimaru purred at the old Kazekage. "Your son isn't a waste, and Kaze will bring him to greatness, but not under your watch." with that Orochimaru pulled his blade from the Kazekage's chest, and signaled to his guards to hide the body. He disguised his voice, and put on the Kazekage's robes, completely disguising himself.

Kaze and Tanuki had stayed the night at Gaara's house on account of Kaze killing one of the ANBU.

"Tanni" Kaze groaned, "My head hurts."

"Well you should have thought of that before you pulled Kurama's chakra while she was sleeping you turd." Tanuki giggled. She held Kaze's head in her lap, holding a wet washcloth over his eyes.

"Ugh. I'm sorry Kura-hime. Please stop with the hurting." Kaze whined.

"You should have thought about that before"

"But they were trying to hurt Gaara!"

'He has Shukaku, he would have been fine you damn show off."

"Bitch" Kaze mumbled, then howled in pain as a skull crushing wave of agony pulsed through his head, "AHH! I'm sorry! I'm sorry oh beautiful queen of foxes! I am humbled by your amazing power and grace! No other demon exceeds you! Holy art thou! Please stop hurting me!"

"Suck up." Gaara sniggered.

"Oh NOW you come up." Kaze snapped.

"Yeah... Dad wants us to visit. He has a mission." Gaara droned. Kaze quirked an eyebrow, that was one of the longest sentences that he had ever heard Gaara say. They all stood, Kurama had stopped hurting Kaze's head due to the fact that now they all needed their wits about them, including her. Gaara and Kaze fell back, and Gaara mumbled to Kaze,

"I found a drive. One Shukaku and I both agree on."

"Oh?" Kaze asked.

"Making this village pay for what they've done to me, and protecting you and Tanni." he droned, his voice was emotionless, but his sea-foam eyes were hard as rocks, determined.

"Well, what about your brother and sister?"

"They care too much about this village."

"Oh. Well, I'll help you with your goal if you help me with mine."

'Whats that?"

"Protecting Tanni, and destroying Konoha."

"Deal." Gaara smirked and shook hands with Kaze.

Hey, I just remembered this. Sorry I didn't post it, its an awesome chappie.
