"Gaara?" called out Kagome again as she walked through the open door of the hospital room, it was fizzling with demonic energy, enough to take Kagome's breath away. She took a deep breath as she turned and spotted her friend. His hair was longer than it had been a month and a half ago, he had dirt under his fingernails and his breathing sounded rattled. Most shocking though was the black and gold gaze that had replaced his beautiful teal, not that Kagome could get a good look at them, as he was avoiding her eyes.

"Kagome! How wonderful it is to have a Desert Rose appear at such a time!" exclaimed Gai and Kagome hadn't realized there was anyone else in the room with them. But Kagome didn't have time for introductions, she could see the insanity in Gaara's stance and in his energy. Something wasn't right with Gaara, and Kagome was beyond angry. "But I believe that this is a situation best dealt with by Ninjas!" Gai continued shortly.

Kagome glared at the man, he was honestly very nice, he was just horrible at choosing his words. Didn't he understand that in this situation Kagome was the expert?
