"You okay, lady?" asked the blonde as he crawled off her and kneeled at her side, his hand raised to help her up. Kagome blinked and took a second to stop her eyes from watering. Something had happened to Gaara to shift his balance of energies, now his animalistic, demonic side was the one in control instead of his rational, human mind. If only she had a seal on her, she might be able to block the demonic part of Gaara from taking over.
"I'm fine, but… what happened?" asked Kagome as she looked around the room. Gaara was standing completely still, and Kagome knew that his internal fight would keep him nearly paralyzed. Gai was standing wonder-struck beside the fallen group, his arms outstretched as though he was going to pull someone away. The ponytailed boy in the corner of the room was walking towards them, his shoulders slouched. Kagome envied his lazy attitude towards danger.
