Recap

I saw the door open and was shocked beyond my wildest dreams.

"Ame? OMG is that you?" I said

"Hey, small world lil' sis." She said smiling.

End Recap

I looked at my sister, shocked at how much she had changed. She had given up her long white hair to change into a short, black hairstyle. She had also decided to cover up her perfect figure with a baggy grey jacket. She still kept the red rose in her hair, and red nails.

"What are you doing here Ame, I thought you were in Kohana?" I said slightly irritated.

"Well I'm not the only one who likes to see hot guys. Haha." She said smirking.

"Whatever slut," I said calling her nickname.

"Same to you strange girl." She said back.

"People are strange." I said starting the song

"When you're a stranger." She added, "Faces look ugly"

I looked back at my sister, regaining my irrational at her.

"So really why are you here?" I asked? You know that nothing good ever comes from us being together for very long." I questioned.
"Sakura is my mentor. Where I go she does." She said smirking.

"Kay well I have another question, why did you dye your hair?" I asked slowly getting ticked.

"Why haven't you princess Ai?" she sneered.

"I'm not her! And maybe I don't want to dye it. I haven't fulfilled the prophecy, so why would I?" I answered loosing my cool.

"Oh, don't tell me you're still pure? Ha! I'll bet even if you found the demon container, he wouldn't even love you. You're nothing but a doll Ningyo! You need to get off that shelf and take responsibility." She said scolding me.

"Don't even talk like that you know that the Akatsuki has taken all the demon containers. So, even if I wanted to find Shukaku I couldn't." Gaara interrupted then and said.

"Wait hold up what are you talking about Ningyo? Explain."

"Well Gaara sama, you understand you have to know the beginning of our clan. You see, along time ago there was a village where the leaders were a husband and wife. The husband was a mercenary and the wife was a priestess. The village was prosperous and the husband and wife had four children. A boy, Masato, a girl, Kimiko, another boy, Chikao, and another girl Ai. Now while the other three children were hard workers, it was Ai who was given the best. She had her father's fighting spirit, her mothers healing talents, as well as the beauty, grace and intelligence that no one in the town had ever seen. Yet at the same time, Ai loved to dance and read and longed to see the world. She often skipped her healing lessons with her mother and went off into the woods for walks. One day despite her father's warnings she stumbled into the darker part of the woods and became lost. As she dug deeper she felt a strong wind. She followed it and saw a force making the winds. A man she realized. Her being so shocked and seeing the chakra tails the man had, made her realize who the man was and she quietly whispered, "A demon." The demon hearing her, sent a gust of wind to wrap around her and pulled her to him. As he was about kill her, Ai raised her hand and said.

"If you must kill me then at least please tell me who my assailant is. I am a scholar and do not wish for my mind to be filled with unanswered questions."

The demon was intrigued by the girl and had never seen anyone like her. He sat her down beside him and he spoke,

"Woman I have never before been entertained enough to let a human live. I will grant you your wish if you will do the same for me."

She looked at the demon and saw that he was rather handsome. He had piercing blue green eyes and messy scarlet hair. He was dressed as a mercenary but had the mind of a scholar. Ai also came to learn that the demon's name was Shukaku, and he was from the land of Suna. Shukaku came to learn that Ai was the princess of the land and was the strongest of her people. The two had much in common and were equally interested in the other's thoughts. Soon it became time for Ai to leave though she vowed to come back the next day. And she did, day after day she came back to the forbidden part of the forest to see Shukaku. Soon their acquaintanceship became friendship and then love. By the time young Ai was 20 years of age, they were so in love that Shukaku had proposed to Ai, she gladly accepting. But on that particular day her older sister Kimiko, had been searching for herbs and had see the two. She had been jealous of Ai and did not want her to have the throne. So Kimiko ran off and told their father. To say the least he was fuming. Not only was his daughter disobeying his strict orders but for her to be caught embracing a demon. This was to be unheard of. When Ai got home that evening ring on her finger she was immediately struck by her father. When Ai had asked why, she was told of her account with Shukaku, and how she was never to see him again. When she told her father of her engagement, she was struck again and the ring was taken off her finger. Her father told her she was confined to her room in till further notice and that the so called monster was to be killed in the morning. She spent the entire night bawling. In the morning, when she woke up she found her brother, Masato by her side sword in tow. She asked him where her father was and was told in town fighting Shukaku. Ai begged her older brother to let her go, for she wanted to see if there was anything she could do to sort this out, or at least see her lover one more time. Now, Masato had a kind heart, and could not bear to see his sister that way. So despite his father's wishes, he let her go.

Ai ran and ran into town until she could hear the two people she loved most fighting. She couldn't let them continue so as they both were about to give each other a lethal blow, she stepped in between them taking both hits. Two swords threw her heart. And even though she was near death, she was smiling. Threw blood bathed breath she said,

"I love you both and with my dying breath I pray that you know that." So with that her last human breath was left. But suddenly, she was transforming. It seemed the gods were smiling upon her because even though she had died, she would be reborn a demon. Her jet black hair had turn into a blinding white. And her charcoal black eyes changed to a sparkling lilac. Her chakra increased indefinitely and she was alive again. The gods said to her that she would be able to live in harmony with Shukaku, but only until her first born child. However if she was to be reincarnated that person could live in love and happiness as would she. She agreed to the terms and lived happily, not caring about the consequences she would inevitably have to face. I little over a year later Ai was in labor with a child, her first and was struggling. She soon realized that she would not make it and this would be all she had left with Shukaku. So she gave birth to her baby, held it once then died. Shukaku, picking up his child realized it was a baby girl, beautiful as her mother with white hair and her fathers blue green eyes. He whispered her name Mika; for she was the new life he would live. He would start a clan and it would be named Aichi, or love to know. For it was the scholarly ways her parents were that brought them together." I finished and saw Sakura and Temari crying over it.

"It was so beautiful aw Ningyo that story was amazing." Sakura had said.

"Thank you Sakura but there is no need to cry, Ai says she doesn't need tears only happiness. She is all right." She had stopped crying and had then smiled a little. I looked over to Gaara Sama and saw that he was staring at me very strange.

"Gaara Sama is something wrong you look troubled?" I asked.

"No it's just, well it's just that Shukaku is my, I mean I am Shukaku's container." He said.
