"MPmph!" Gaara struggled against his "captor", but it was for not as he was pulled into a dark alley way.

"Kankuro, what are you doing? You were suppose to ASK him to come! Not kidnap him!" Gaara was turned around and saw the girl from the other night, Temerai, walking up to them. "Gaara, I'm sorry that this might be scary you; however, when the idiot takes his hand from your mouth, you mustn't scream. Okay? If you do, then he'll have to put his filthy hands back over your mouth."

"..." Gaara nodded his head.

"My hands are NOT filthy, bitch..." Kankuro mumbled as he slowly removed his hands. Gaara backed into a nearby wall fearfully.

"What do you want?" Gaara asked as his eyes darted around for an escape route.

"Gaara, you don't remember us?" Temerai asked in a hurt voice. Gaara shook his head with a frown.

"Should I? Who...you seem kind of familiar." Gaara admitted.

"Damn, that hit to the head fucked him up. Thank God that old bastard is dead." Kankuro growled out. Temerai nodded her head in agreement.

"What are you two talking about?"

"Gaara...You are our missing younger brother. When you were young, father use...he use to abuse you. One day, he shoved you off a bridge and into a river. You hit your head on the way down. It was the last time that we saw you." Kankuro explained to Gaara, whose eyes widen in surprise.

"We...we tried to save you...when we could...we searched for you...Gaara...I-I...I'm so sorry." Temerai broke down crying and ran up to Gaara. She embraced him tightly. "I love you, Gaara..."

"You don't know how glad we are that you're alive." Kankuro told Gaara with a smile.

"How...how do you know I'm "your" Gaara?" Gaara asked curiously.

"Cause, you have mother's eyes." Temerai told him as she opened and showed him her locket. Inside was a picture of a family consisting of: a man with dark brown hair, a woman with dark red hair, a small blond girl, even smaller brunette boy, and a baby with red hair and green eyes being held by the woman. "This was taken two weeks after you were born...Mother...she didn't have much strength left in her...she passed away three weeks after you were born."

"The old man...sort of lost his mind that day..." Kankuro added with a scowl on his face.

"AH!" Gaara shouted in pain as he dropped to his knees. He clenched his head in his hands and squeezed his eyes shut. DEMON! MONSTER! YOU KILLED HER! IF IT WERE UP TO ME, YOU'LL BE DEAD! FATHER, HELP ME! DEMON! DEMON! WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME? MONSTER! I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL, MOMMY! LIAR! FILTHY DEMON LIAR! I'LL BEAT THE DEMON OUT OF YOU! NO! NO! "NOOOOOOOO!"

"Gaara!" Temerai dropped to her knees and shook him. This caused him to shout even louder.

"What the fuck is wrong with him!" Kankuro asked Temerai in panic.

"I don't know!"

"Someone's going to think we're hurting him-" Kankuro was cut off by the sound of footsteps rushing into the alley.

"GAARA!" Naruto shouted as he pushed Kankuro and Temerai out of the way. Naruto held Gaara to him. "Shh...shh..."

"Naru...demon..." Gaara whispered brokenly as he looked up at Naruto. Naruto gasped at the lack of life in Gaara's eyes.

"Ga-g-gaara...?"

"What did you do to him?" Neji asked as he walked up to Kankuro.

"Nothing."

"Nothing, my ass! Nothing doesn't cause this!" Neji growled as he gestured towards Gaara.

"He might be remembering." Temerai told Neji, who raised his fist to punch Kankuro.

"Remembering what?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"The past."
