They team collapse as soon as the song finishes.

"What are you going to do with them now?" the Kazekage asks.

Shadow Beast answers, "Please take care of them while I'm gone, Gaara-sensei."

Shikamaru then grasps the girl's hand, protesting, "You can't do this alone."

"Who said I am, Shikamaru-sensei," Shadow states. "They will help me."

Shadow Beast then jumps onto the roofs and out into the open desert.

"What should we do with them, Lord Kazekage?" Shikamaru asks, tilting his head towards the unconscious teenagers.

Gaara replies, "Bring them back inside. Let them stay here until Eiju returns."

Temari, Kankuro, Shikamaru, Gaara and Rose then take the team down.

-Meanwhile-

Shadow Beast is hiding behind a large boulder, spying on the large CADMUS tanks. She then performs some hand sign and then, two large shadows appear next to her.

"What do you want us to do," asks the canine figure.

Shadow Beast answers, taking out her twin katana, "Kill all; not one left alive."

Aqualad is the first one to wake up. He sees that he is covered by a blanket and is lying on a chair. Glancing around the room, Kaldur identifies the others in the dark room, sleeping soundly. Standing up, Kaldur is then quickly pulls back down to the chair. The young Atlantean turns to the side to see what had pulled him down and he found Hikari. The girl shakes her head and points at the chair he is sitting in.

"I have to find Shadow Beast," He whispers softly.

Hikari responds, "You can't, youw chakwa level awe still low. You need to west up, Kaldu oni-chan (oni-chan means brother)."

"But-," he protests, but is interrupt by the door opening.

When the door fully opens, Kaldur sees Shadow Beast walking through. The teen sees the two and asks, "Hikari, what are you doing up so late?"

"I want to make suwe the Oni-chan and One-chan (sister) get a good west," Hikari quietly answers, "But then Kaldu oni-chan woke up and said dat he wanted to go look fow you, but his chakwa level awe weally low."

Shadow Beast is clearly surprise. "Hikari, you can see their chakra?"

The little girl nods and then let out a little yawn.

Angel then states, "You should go sleep. I'll take care of them."

The 3 years old girl nods again and slowly makes her way up the stairs. After Hikari's door close, Shadow Beast sighs and sits down on a chair next to Kaldur.

"Where did you go?" asks Kaldur after a few minutes of silence.

Shadow Beast answers, "I went to meet with my teachers."

"No you didn't," Kaldur shakes his head.

Shadow Beast then turns to face him, and questions, "How would you know?"

"If you were meeting with your teacher," Kaldur reasons, "then why is there blood on you?"

Shadow Beast stays silent It is true that there is blood on her cloak. Angel can't lie to her team leader.

She then answers, "I destroyed CADMUS base and everyone in it."

"You what," Aqualad screams, but Shadow Beast covers his mouth.

She then leads him onto the roof.

"I had no choice," She then says. "It is their fault for getting involve with my world."

"But that doesn't mean that you need to kill them!" he exclaims.

Shadow Beast argues calmly. "You don't understand my world. In this world, one has to kill to survive. You can't stop death. In your world either. You can't stop death. There is no way; but my world is harder. We have to kill to live. You might not know this, but kids around Hikari's age in this world have already been killing because they are put in a state that forces them to kill to live. So if I didn't kill those CADMUS people, then this village with hundreds of innocent civilians will be dead!"

Kaldur remarks, "But that still doesn't mean"

-"Those men and women working for CADMUS knew what they were risking and they gave up their lives when they step into this desert!" Shadow Beast storms.

Kaldur is speechless. The young lad has never seen Shadow Beast explodes like this before. For the month he has stays with her in the cave, Shadow Beast is usually very calm and she has never show any kind emotions. But now, Shadow Beast explodes in anger..

Shadow Beast sighs and states, leaving, "Tomorrow, we will leave for the cave. Don't worry, I will report my findings to the leagues."

-Somewhere-

"She is growing," a male voice says, "It has been six years since she left the village, dattebayo. And the young lad next there with her; he is something."

Then another older male voice speaks up, "That young man besides her. He is the team leader isn't he?"

The first male agrees, "Yep. He sure care for Shadow Beast, dattebayo."

"More than just a teammate or as a friend?" the second one questions.

Suddenly, Gaara appears next to the two and smiles, "More than just a friend or teammate."
