RECAP

"What up god I'm so happy your all alive." At this Shikamaru took 3 steps back like I was about to bite. "What's with the wierd look man. You act like you saw a ghost."

"Well not a ghost more of a demon." I scrunched my eyebrows at this. "Dude you don't remember glowing red growing claws your eyes changing color and your ears pointing to look like an elf's." I jump out of the bathroom at that news and run to the bathroom to check my face for any changes.

Gaara POV

I woke up just after dawn with a sore arm. I was confused as to why I wasn't sleeping on it or anything. I found it odd that is until last nights events came back to me.

A searing pain like no other raced up my arm as soon as I touched the red cloak that enveloped Naruto's skin. I tried to hold in my screams of agony as I looked in fear at my best friend. No this thing wasn't my best friend my best friend missed the bus this thing didn't look like him this thing killed him. My arm still felt the searing pain being ripped from the inside out as I held it with a tight grip.

Looking down at the sheets I noticed something odd my sheets were covered in sand which was rather odd how did that happen. "Nice try guys who put sand all over my bed sheets." I looked at dogboy he seemed so much like Naruto so he was first on my list of suspects.

"What." I guess he could feel my eyes burning holes into his head as well as the guy with a trenchcoat. "I didn't do anything. Don't look at me like that!" He was waving his hands infront of his face it was annoying.

"Ya right dogboy like sand could move on it's own." I shouted. (A/N: oh the irony) "Now confess and I won't pound you into the ground." I said getting up off my bed.

"I didn't do anytthing." I started to stalk over to the boy and pounded my fists to my open palm as a warning. "Shino tell him!"

"Just confess Kiba and to be honest " I cracked my neck both ways, "I can't be sure you didn't." Art this point I was right infront of him and I grabbed his collar and pulled him so close to my face our noses were almost touching. That did the trick.

"Okay I'm sorry I put sand in your bed jeesh no need to over react." I could feel him trying to squirm out of my grip so I pushed him back onto his bed. I felt wierd doing so I wasn't usually violent but something in me was screaming for his blood anyone's blood actually. My mind kept screaming 'kill, maim, wound, bleed, bruise, scream, gore, violence" and things like that it was like pain in my head and I couldn't make it fade. I was too kind to be violent. Too kind to threaten people this voice in his head was making him do things he didn't want. It was causing him pain both mentally and physically. I just couldn't help blame all my pain on the little voice in my head. A jolt of pain hit my head suddenly and I nearly screamed outloud at the intensity but I did clutch my head and fall to my knees. "Hey dude are you okay I know you nearly punched me but you seem to be in alot of pain man." I tried to get to my feet winding up stumbling abit in the process. "Dude be careful. You want to go to the camp's nurse or something?" I felt a hand place itself on my shoulder as I was stumbling to the door my vision was getting blurry as the hand tried to steady me. I yanked my shoulder from his grip and stumbled my way towards the door.

"I'm fine I just need some fresh air." I was in the doorway when I felt my legs giveway. I closed my eyes but didn't fall asleep. I stayed inbetween consciousness and unconsciousness. I heard a few worried shouts and smirked. But it soon turned to a frown when I felt myself sink into some thing I couldn't identify in my half conscious state. Afraid of what might happen I started struggling which only got me to sink further. And only after I was fully submerged did the need for air caused my world to go black.


Sakura POV

I woke to the sound of a trumpet and rustling of sheets. Opening my eyes I looked around I was in a snug little cabin. Remembering that I was at camp I got up and waited in line for the shower which was already filled with the rest of the cabin. It felt to be about an hour later than that the shower water, now ice cold, finally carressed her skin. needless to say that it was a rather quick shower. She went the rest of the morning thinking last night was all just a bad dream.

Later when she made her way to the mess hall she was wearing black skinny jeans and a red tube top. She got quite a few comments from the boys before she even sat down. When she did sit down she sat down next to a lonely Naruto sorely dissapointed that Gaara was missing. Naruto was looking at his food like it was going to jump up and strangle him any second. Deciding to break the silence I spoke. "So Naruto have you seen Gaara? I haven't seen him since last night." Naruto turned to look at me.

"No I haven't seen him either. Why not you ask Shino and Kiba their his cabin mates their entire cabin has been awefully quiet this morning though. I doubt you'll get many answers." I smiled apprecitively at Naruto which caused him to smirk before returning to glaring evilly at his food.

"Thanks Naruto you know it's safe to eat non-ramen food right." I gave me a big grin but his eyes remained sad as I spoke like he wasn't really happy. Deciding to overlook the forlorn within Naruto's gaze with her concern for Gaara she left in order to find Gaara she could ask Naruto about it later.


Naruto POV

I watched as Sakura walked away oblivious of my painobvious of my pain oblivious of what was going to happen. I saw her start asking and proding which rather quickly turned to yelling and punching when she didn't get her answeres. I would have laughed at their predicament if it weren't for the seriousness of the situation. As soon as my repreive started it ended as Saskura punched Kiba's lights out. I ran over in an attempt to prevent any casualties.
