For The Most Precious...

Out amongst the moonlit sand in the desert plains stood a young crimson haired girl. Sand was blowing lightly. It was almost midnight. Where was Temari with the body of Gaara so she could perform the resurrection??
Kat wrapped her shawl closer around her to ward off the cold. She had been standing around for almost a full hour now. And now the demon lurking within her conscious was tormenting her as usual. Aveira (Hebrew for sin LOL) the wolf demon and offspring of Shukaku seemed to think it amusing to taunt her day and night.
"Hah, I can't believe you are truly Kat of the Bloody Desert " Aveira hissed in annoyance, "What happened to the 'I only fight for myself' girl that I was so proud of?? What happened to the Blood Red Sand Demon and her bloodthirsty desires?"
"One can only become strong if they have something to fight for." The Jinchuuriki growled as she clutched at her head to shut out the demons harsh words."
"Something to fight for?! You mean like an idol? Are you ludicrous??"
"The more important your idol is to you, the harder you fight for them. If their insulted then you'll feel as if your own honor is being questioned. Even if you know he or she is evil, one cannot overcome one's own solitude."
"Why would you be so stupid to waste almost your whole life on this resurrection ability when you know it will be chancing death?"
Kat of the Desert smiled softly and gazed up at the hazy red sky, she replied
"For the most precious."

Temari had come as quick as possible, Gaara's arm around her shoulder. She was still weak so it had taken her a bit of time, but she made it. Softly she placed her deceased brother's body on the sand, kneeling beside him and looking up to Kat.
"I've come.. with Gaara-sama.."

Gazing silently up at Temari, Kat of the Desert nodded. To be truthful; Kat once thought that Temari wouldn't care enough about her brother to even bother...but perhaps she was wrong in that retrospect. Solemnly without any emotion whatsoever, Kat walked over to Temari and Gaara or the body of Gaara...
Taking the body from Temari; Kat gently laid it upon the soft sandy ground. She touched the pallid flesh and shivered. Never had she felt anything so cold, so lifeless.
The crystal hourglass around her neck was essential to the ritual. Chiyo-sama gave it to Kat before she died suddenly. Inside the hourglass were multi-colored grains of sand, which when combined with a person's chakra, it's power could do the nearly impossible. Of course it's power came with a large sacrifice. Kat would end up dying much sooner because she would have transferred almost all of her life-force to the corpse.
This was not the end of the side effects. Once the corpse was revived, he or she would be very weak for a while and may not survive. Not only this, but Kat herself would be agony afterwards. She would be risking death and may not survive the encounter.
To Kat however, this was worth the pain and possibly death. Because she was doing it for a person precious to her. Maybe her existence would be necessary after all.
Kat took a silver knife and slashed both of her palms. Unscrewing the hourglass, she poured the sand into both of her palms. Though it stung, she felt the sand combine with her chakra. She began muttering an ancient chant only known to the founders of Hidden Sand Village. The power of her chakra was at it's maximum. This was it.
Yet again taking the silver knife, Kat punctured a small wound into Gaara's chest. Pressing her palms to his chest, Kat forced her chakra into the lifeless corpse. It would have seemed simple to an outsider, but the real fight was just beginning...

Part one of three.

Part two of three (so I won't fill up a single reply to it's maximum)


The resurrection was far from over. Unknown to Temari and Kat of the Desert was the reason why most performers of the ability so often died. It wasn't because of the physical strain on her body oh no...it wasn't that. In order for the person to succeed in reviving the dead was for their conscious mind to enter the corpse's subconscious for a certain period of time. It was strain on the performer's mental health that nearly always killed them. They were literally driven deep into insanity...
Suddenly, Kat of the Desert was thrust into Gaara's subconscious. Her physical body was still muttering the enchantment and she would be doing so until each part of the body was reactivated. She had to survive the encounter or she would perish and her efforts would be in vain.
Gaara's subconscious wasn't purely black. It looked as if ruby red clouds were in a hazy red sky. Beneath her was greyish sand. Surrounding her were dead trees with black leaves and red veins. To Kat's horror the branches were charred bones.
Off in the misty distance, there was a dark figure. With the sand pulling at her ankles, Kat dashed towards it. The figure turned. Kat gasped.
"G-Gaara?" She sputtered. Indeed the figure was Gaara or at least appeared to be him.
"Guess again prey!" Was the raspy reply.
Kat gazed at the figure's eyes. Unlike Gaara's these were completely black with gold orbs that seemed to be staring right through Kat. Almost instantly Kat identified the creature.
"Sh-Shukaku??"
"My, it appears you aren't as stupid as you look. I am Shukaku only in Gaara's form. You see if you hadn't been meddling with things not of your concern, I would be free by now. A corpse containing a demon can only contain a demon for so long, you see. Soon I'll be free once again and I'll annihilate this earth and everything that exists on it!"
"Make my day, Sand Freak!" Kat snarled ferociously. "This world holds nothing but memories of hate for me. You'll be doing me a favor."
Shukaku snickered dementedly. "Fool, who do you think is keeping Gaara's soul trapped within this body so he suffers a thousand and one deaths. Who do you think caused Gaara all his torment. Who do you suppose is the only thing holding you back from reviving the 'darling Kazekage' hah hah!" Shukaku cackled and crushed a tree branch. "Now fight me!" Kat shuddered, so this was true terror. This was the creature she had to hold back until the ritual was complete.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid, coward? If you don't fight me, Gaara will be tormented forever!"
Kat pulled a sword with a hourglass engraved into the handle. She pointed it at Shukaku's neck. "Get in my way and you'll die by my hand!" Shukaku just stood there, chortling.
There was a flash of red light. Suddenly Kat was teleported to another area of the subconscious. When her vision cleared, she found herself tied to a large cardboard circle with words written on certain spaces of the board. Shukaku was in front of her, sneering.
"Ah, my favorite game, Wheel of Death and Torture. What more enjoyment could you want, Katia Silverfyre?"
Almost fainting, Kat saw Shukaku pull a skull adorned switch. "'Round and 'round we go, Kitty Katty Kat, don't get too dizzy, you might lose your head-literally!" Kat strained not to the spinning motion overtake her.
Her head landed on a sign that said "Insanity or Death: Choose wisely" Kat groaned. Shukaku cackled.
"I will ask you a question; if you choose insanity, the wrong answer will cause a wound to your mentality. Answer a question wrong on the other and you get...DEATH!"
"Give me liberty or give me insanity!" Hissed Kat. Any fate was worse then death right now.
"Heh, fine then. What is my hobby."
"You aren't the sharpest sword in the armory, it is a bit obvious that you like killing..."
Then the horrible spinning began again. Kat landed on "Three wounds (sort of like three dollars only Shukaku's demented thought of money)
"Care for a game of darts, Kat?"
Shukaku whisked a dart from a nearby table and flung it at her. It barely missed her neck. With her heartbeat pulsing a mile a minute, Kat dodged yet another dart. Shukaku swore under his breath. Another dart flew through the air. This time, it punctured it's mark.
"Damn, she's not dead."
Glancing for a quick second at her dart-impaled stomach, Kat looked up at Shukaku and smirked smugly. "Gaara's not the only one with an absolute defense only mine is internal! My veins, arteries and vital organs are all covered with a layer of sand. The jokes on you!!"
Obviously Shukaku wasn't too pleased with this new development because he jerked irately on the switch. Kat's luck was in her favor this time.
"Escape or Death: Choose wisely" Kat of the Desert smugly looked at Shukaku.
"If you answer my question right then you shall escape The Wheel of Torture and Death, however if you fail...I shall have the pleasure of killing you."
Hearing yet another sigh from his captive prisoner, Shukaku prepared to be ready in case or as he thought, when she answered wrong.
"What are the three most chakra consuming attacks that can be used by a sand incarnation possessed ninja?" Shukaku purred, not realizing that Kat's demon was the offspring of him which would make her a sand spirit.
Answering a in a bored voice, Kat replied "Ultimate Possession, Sand Devastation, and the notorious Wind Style: Air Bullets. Do you really think I'm a dimwit?"

There was yet another change of scenery and this time Kat was transported to a room that seemed like a mirror on all sides besides the beams holding it up. She was laying on complete glass. Shukaku was standing in front of her.
"The moment you kiddies have all been waiting for," Shukaku spoke to no one in particular, "This is the part where I make the ceiling drip with Kat of the Desert's blood! Grab some popcorn and let the bloodshed commence!!"
"You really are a madman..." Kat said as she picked herself up off the floor. "Don't you know that true strength is found only when one is fighting for something precious!" Maybe she could get through to that creatures heart.
Shukaku thought for a second, "Hmm, what you said is making sense...suddenly I feel so, so guilty for my murderous tendencies." He looked as if he was about to burst into tears.
"Um..." Kat gasped. Had she really gotten through to the monster?!
Kat skidded out of the way of the incoming sand shurikens.
"Imbecile, you are the same as that priest who tried for years to give me religion. Now he is worm food. A battle is a gamble in which one pits one's existence against another and they try to destroy each other. Only the victor gets to savor the worth of his existence. Do you honestly believe that petty shit about precious people and true strength coming from protecting another after you've killed hundreds in order to feel alive??
"Just maybe there is more to life then blood and survival..."
"Why are you even here?"
"For the most precious..." Kat murmured. "I'll protect Gaara until the end..."
"Fool, forget about your precious Gaara, he is as good as mine for eternity!"
"Over my dead body!" Kat snarled as she lunged at the creature holding Gaara's soul.



Shukaku's sand protected him until Kat teleported around him, sending him sprawling across the glass floor.
"Infinite Sand Devastation!"
Sand began to blow across the room hitting it's target full-force. Kat's body slammed against glass, blood pouring out of her mouth. Although the attach lasted only for a minute, it seemed at least a few hours to Kat.
"Desert Coffin-" Shukaku was interrupted as Kat had yet again teleported behind him.

"Curse of the Full Moon no Jutsu!" Kat shouted. All around her the spirits of wolves appeared and their crystal blue eyes held nothing but respect for their mistress and bloodlust. The wolves stood their ground, drooling and growling at their soon to be prey. And as for Kat? She was a black undertoned white wolf with black encircled silver pupil-less eyes.
Together she and her pack lunged at Shukaku, catching him completely off guard. "Eternity of Blood no Jutsu!" Kat growled as she sank her fangs in Shukaku's back. Blood spewed everywhere staining the glass. A toxic substance in Kat's fang mixed with the blood causing critical damage to her prey's mental health as Shukaku was now hearing the shrieks of all his victims.

Moments later, Kat was once again in her normal form and a certain wounded demon was glowering at her. "You certainly are formidable, Kat of the Desert. I won't lose to a person like you, not this easily. Wind Style: Air Bullets!" Large wispy orbs of wind were hurled at Kat.
Kat was once again struck several times by the forceful wind but she had more tricks up her sleeve. She pulled a wooden flute out of her pocket and smirked at Shukaku.
"Desert Melody no Jutsu!" She began to play a strange sand-controlling melody on the flute she had received from Chiyo-sama. Shukaku struggled to escape the sand but even his own defense was broken (Gee do you think it had something to do with being self-centered?) Sand licked his body and began draining the chakra. He sneered.
"You haven't won this yet, brat!" Shukaku then revealed his true form complete with an ugly raccoon shaped body and blue ears. "DIE KAT OF THE DESERT!!!"
Smashed against the wall, Kat's impact caused a large crack to form, only the crack deepened and started trailing down the wall to the floor. The floor began to crack and crumble, glass plummeting to the endless cavern beneath. It took the dimwitted Shukaku a few seconds to figure out what was happening.
"WH_WHAT THE HELL!!!" He screeched, causing the glass to crumble ever so quickly. Shukaku leapt out of the way, landing on the an uncracked part. Unfortunately, a certain bloodthirsty demon's body weight crashed upon the glass, causing more cracks.
Trying not to lose her balance, Kat of the Desert sidled the wall. Then she was wrenched from the wall and flung across the room, landing on an already damaged floor. She got up and desperately tried to sprint and ended up slipping on her own blood. Just barely regaining her balance, she stumbled again, this time on Shukaku's sand. She was once again hurled against another glass cover wall.
Shukaku stood there cackling at her predicament "YOU AINT GOIN' ANYWHERE PREY!" Kat turned and had her hand in yet another jutsu formation. "HEY WHADDAYA THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Kat glanced up at the creature with an emotionless expression and continued her hand symbols. "OH NO NO NO, YOU AIN'T PLANNING ANYTHING ARE YA?? YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE BLOOD YOU WANT, MY TREAT JUST DON'T TRY ANYTHING STUPID OR I'LL MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL, HEY! LISTEN TO ME, please?" Shukaku whimpered.
"Well, well, well, it looks as if the great Shukaku as been reduced to whimpering in fright. Are you afraid of my existence, coward?" Shukaku noticed the rapid motion of her hand symbols had ceased, and his eyes widened. "See you in hell! Quicksand Cataract (another name for Desert Tsunami).
Sand flowed across the glass and it rose higher and higher like a wave. Shukaku was crushed against the wall. The glass crumpled underneath him and he fell through, roaring in anger.
It would seem as if Kat's trouble were over, but the room was vibrating and the vibration caused for Kat to lose her balance and she went flying onto the crumbling glass. In vain she tried to regain her balance but the glass shattered beneath her.
Kat and the shards of glass fell into the unending blackness below. In a nearby shard she saw her reflection gazing back at her as she plunged forward into the neverending darkness.


Part Two of Three.

"

Part Three of Three (Don't kill me for adding so much detail to the last post, please.)

There was flash of white light. Kat was blinded for a moment. Then her vision cleared. It was still pure white all around her but she could make out her hand raised in front of her. Was she dead? Was Gaara still dead, and had her existence been needed by anyone. It was like hell to even think about.
Kat only had time to contemplate for a few seconds when she was thrust back into reality. She felt Gaara's breath beneath her. "I-I'm still alive and I managed to bring back the Kazekage in the process, am I good or what??" She said with joy. Shukaku was still sealed within the Jinchuuriki beside her but, maybe that was for the best.
Temari was still standing beside Gaara (who was now breathing and she looked relieved. Kat suddenly felt a twinge of pain, she still had the wounds she had received from Shukaku and her head ached. Aveira growled inside her mind "Idiot, you're very stupid to try something like that, and now you're critically wounded, serves you right!"
"Shut up, before I rip you out of my body and make the sky rain with your blood!" Kat snarled back, she was not in the mood for the demon's lip. She tried to stand up but her wobbly legs collapsed beneath her and she crumpled to ground in pain.
Kat gazed at Gaara, "Damn, you had better be grateful, Gaara-sama, cuz I went through the seven levels of hell for you and back, so my existence had better have been needed." She thought for a minute and then softly murmured, "Was my existence necessary to you?"
Gaara's eyelids fluttered.

Part Three of Three (Yes, It's finally over.!)

*Naruto's Point of View*

Dashing over to Kat and Gaara, Naruto flung his arms around Gaara's neck "You're alive, oh what a happy day! "
Kat rolled her eyes, "Stupid, he isn't even awake yet, AND GET YOUR FILTHY PAWS OFF OF HIM!"
Naruto jumped back and scratched his head, "What did I do?!" He whined.
"You simply exist and I swear god if you touch Gaara-sama without his permission like that again I.Will.Kill.You."
Naruto walked over to Katia looking puzzled. "Why did you revive him anyway? I'm just curious."
Kat of the Desert blushed and smirked, "Because Gaara is...is, um"
"Someone precious to you?" Naruto asked.
"Exactly!"
Naruto chuckled, "Well I suppose that is why you spent seven hours in his subconscious trying to keep Shukaku from destroying Gaara's trapped soul. Heh heh, I KNEW you had a major crush on Gaara, I just knew it." Unfortunately, Naruto's last words earned him a punch in the face.
"What was that for?" He whined.
Kat smirked at him, "You're stupid, that' s why dimwit!"

((ooc: Lmao wow that was long XD But very very detailed, your a great writer ^_^))


Suddenly, he spoke. His words more of a mumble and most likely undeciferable. Slowly and slightly his eyes opened in the usual sea green colour, shifting them to Kat's direction. His vision was a bit blurry, and he felt utterly weak. Though, he remembered nothing of how he had gotten to where he was and what had happened. The only thing he knew at the moment, by the feeling of the sand beneath his body, was that he was in the desert.


((ooc: I decided he wouldn't say anything just yet XD))

((ooc: I was worried you'd kill me for how much I wrote! )

Naruto gawked at the young Kazekage. With his mouth half-open he walked over to him, not believing that Kat had actually done this for someone who was demon-possessed and mentally insane. "G-Gaara??...Oh my god he's a ZOMBIE!!" Naruto squealed, earning yet another punch and a threat from Kat of the Desert.
As for Kat, her head was killing her from Shukaku's attacks on her sanity. It was wonder that she hadn't lost it out of terror. "Are you alright, Gaara?" She asked him.
"Did you know that she was in your mind, actually IN your mind??" Naruto asked. He received a very dark look from Kat. Her face slowly turned pale and her eyes were slightly frightened.
"Naruto, don't tell about-"

"SHE SAW YOUR WHOLE CHILDHOOD AND HOW THAT YASHAMARU GUY TRIED TO KILL YOU!"
Kat protested, "N-No I did not, I swear...*blushes fiercely* Oh, I'm gonna wring Yashamaru's neck and kill a thousand times...SHOOT, I wasn't supposed to say that, Kat muttered embarrassedly. Naruto did not help the situation.
"AND SHE KNOWS THAT YOU HAVE A BUTT-UGLY DEMON NAMED SHUKAKU AND, AND SHE WANT'S TO KILL YOUR FATHER TOO FOR TREATING YOU SO HORRIBLE AND, AND, AND..."
Poor Kat begged the blabbering blonde to shut his mouth, even tried bribing him with ramen. Then after that didn't work she even wished herself dead.
"AND THEN SHE WAS USED AS SHUKAKU'S PERSONAL DART BOARD AND ALMOST GOT HERSELF KILLED WHEN SHE WAS FIGHTING THAT DEMON-THINGY-AND"

"And you ARE so dead...Naruto-baka (Japanese insult)" Kat muttered. Naruto snickered,

"So are you once Gaara get's done with ya."

Kat glanced at Gaara in complete for a nosy imbecile and looking at his most private childhood memories *Snicker, Snicker.*

((ooc: LOL well, there was a lot to read, but it was enjoyable XD))


All of this was overwhelming, he barely knew what was going on. The words had practically went through one ear and out the other. "Hn.. wh-what..?"


((ooc: Lol I had nothin better to say ))

Naruto looked at him, and then at the blushing Kat. Kat was unable to say anything at the moment because she was so embarrassed. Smirking evilly, Naruto said
"As I was saying...Kat was inside your insane mind and she battling Shukaku that dumb demon that you have. Well, miss nosy Kat saw your whole entire childhood including that one dude, Yashamaru telling you about love and then betraying you, because she was curious. Oh and she was also used as Shukaku's own personal dart-board! Did I tell you that Kat was the one who brought you back from the dead, I KNEW she had a crush on you because she said that you were the 'most precious' and now I am so dead because Kat is going to crush me in a Desert Coffin after she regains her chakra." Naruto rambled clearly and slowly so Gaara could comprehend everything that he had said.
Finally Kat regained her ability to speak. Still greatly embarrassed she muttered "Um..."
Pointing stupidly at Kat, Naruto said "Hey look, she's got the stupid disease just like I do! Or maybe she's guilty for knowing every damn thing about your past."
"Heh, heh...oops!" Kat said with a humiliated grin and blush.

"Crush..?" He said, sortof squinting as his vision finally cleared and he seen both Naruto and Kat. He tried to ignore the fact that his mind had been searched through, but his seemingly nonfunctioning brain helped with that. Then he looked directly at Kat. "You... brought me.. back..?"

Naruto grinned and cackled at the terribly embarrassed Kat of the Desert. Kat nodded with a small guilty grin. "Um...I was stuck in your subconscious for seven hours apparently. Sorry for rummaging through your memories " She began treating Gaara's wounds. "You are a precious person to me, Gaara, that's why I risked my life and my mental health to revive you. See, I have admired you from afar for a very long time." Kat explained.
Snickering, Naruto muttered something indecipherable. "Yeah, she almost killed Shukaku for mocking you!" Which wasn't so amusing anyway. "Oh by the way, Kat only has a few months to live since performing that resurrection.
Kat gazed at Gaara and asked hopefully among laughter, "Was my existence necessary?"

With Kat's death as a last thought, he sat up, slightly pushing of the ground and wincing a bit. He turned his head and faced Kat. "Months..? Why.. did you do that?"

"Why??! According to Chiyo-sama (who is now deceased) the person performing the resurrection will transfer half of their life to the deceased, in my case your demon poisoned my body, so...I might die from that. If Shukaku hadn't hit me directly with one of his attacks maybe I would live longer.." Kat said solemnly.
"Besides, what Chiyo said may have just been a theory, okay? Aren't you happy that you're alive? I went through hell in that demented mind of yours, so answer my question, 'Was my existence necessary to you or not?!"
Still standing there snickering, Naruto whispered "You don't get it do you Gaara, she would do anything for you. Heck, why do you think the Akatsuki are after her? It's because Kat over there, brought you back to life. So now their after her demon-oh sorry, shouldn't have mentioned that!"

He was quite for a moment, staring at Kat with slightly open eyes. "Yes... it was.. that is why I.."

Cutting himself off, he shifted his eyes away from Kat and to the sandy ground, silent.

Not believing that her existence was actually necessary to someone, Kat grinned. She would have done the Happy Kat Dance (Snicker) but then Naruto would have something to blackmail her with.
Kat looked at Gaara, puzzled. "Huh, what is it. You can tell me, I won't say anything. Is something wrong. Please tell me!" Then she shooed Naruto away, so he wouldn't eavesdrop. Although he protested, Kat threatened him and that sent him running.
"What is it, Gaara?" Kat asked, wondering if something terrible had happened to him or something.

"..." Closing his eyes as he kept his head low, one could tell he didn't wish to speak of it. "Nothing really.. it's not important.."

Then he raised his head and opened his eyes, looking straight at her once again. "What's important.. is your safety.. and well being.."

"Oh don't worry about me, I'm fine. Hey why do you care about me anyway, almost everyone else thinks I'm a demented monster just because of my demon. People have treated me like a science experiment gone wrong after the last Kazekage sealed the offspring of Shukaku inside of me. Apparently I was a lousy secret weapon too, how ironic. Finally I was so sick of it that I began to love only myself and fight for only myself. I thought my existence wouldn't cease as long as there were people to kill (Yes I know, my characters twisted.) That changed I guess when I met Naruto, maybe what he says about fighting for another is true. Just maybe."
Kat was once again thinking about her terribly dark past for a few moments.
"The jutsu I used to save you is actually forbidden, too many people have died because of it, or have gone insane. Well I'm not dead just yet and I was insane since birth *LOL*. Chiyo, the one who taught me the ability told me to only use for someone important. You're the Kazekage and I...never mind that thought."
"Do you think of me as a monster?" Kat asked.

"You remind me.. of myself.." He said, his facial expression not changing in the least bit. "Only relying on myself.. only fighting for myself.. my need to prove my strength to myself made me consider killing others. Once I had gotten to the Chuunin exams and faced my first tough opponent, one where I even thought I might have lost the match, my outlook on things changed.. I began not eliminating people to become stronger, but I began fighting those stronger than I. Because they were the only ones who could threaten my exsistence.. then there was Uzumaki Naruto.. whom I had, I believe, lost to.. his will power and determination were stronger than I ever was.. that's when yet another change overcame me."

The smallest smirk came to his lips at the thought. "We are as if.. almost the same.. we both have a part of Shukaku, may it be an offspring or not, both our purposes being to kill, and Naruto had changed both of us. Kat, do you really believe I think of you as a monster..? After that brave risk you took to bring me back from the dead?"

Looking very surprised, Kat whispered "You mean, you killed people to feel alive as well? I didn't know that you were like that as well...wow! Thank you for not thinking of me as a bloodthirsty monster. Is your heart lonely too?" Kat asked then winced in pain. Shukaku had wounded her many times and her wounds still existed outside of Gaara's mind. She crumpled to the sand, in a pool of her own crimson blood. Kat couldn't even stand anymore with the agony she was going through. She pulled out a roll of bandages and tried to apply them, but ended up dropping them. Trying to grab them, she groaned and clutched at her head.
"Stupid Girl!" Aveira her demon muttered inside her head, "Get me that boy's blood, now!"
"Over my dead body!" Kat snarled at her demon. Her wolf ears and tail were once again forming. Aveira was punishing her for saving another.
Kat looked at Gaara in pain "My demon is...bothering me again...ugh. I can't stop my transformation into a wolf. Oww...how do you deal with Shukaku when he's like this. She asked desperately. (Aveira is crueler then Shukaku)

His eyes widened in the tiniest bit, looking down at Kat. "It all depends on the power of ones mind and their control over it.. you fight against your demon.. only ones in such a status as ours can understand this."
"Don't let your demon take control over you.."

Managing to defend herself against Aveira, Kat stopped transforming though she still had the ears and tail. "Thanks for the err (Shut it Aveira or I'll slit your throat, yeah that's right, I'm threatening you!) helpful advice. She then asked Gaara "Ever since your father sealed the demon and people have been taunting me, the center of my chest has been hurting. None of the pain medication works and Naruto told me my heart was emotionally wounded even thought it wasn't bleeding. Do you know to cure wounds of the heart??" Kat asked, pointing at her heart.

"And here I thought you had gone through my mind and watched my past, every second of it.." He said while slightly smirking. "Yashamaru once told me.. the only cure for a wound to the heart.. is love.."

Kat blushed "Um...I was mainly muttering death threats to Yashamaru, and I was mocking every word he said. I'm sorry but that guy is a two-faced traitor. You are not a monster, don't what those idiots say, it isn't true. Hey you haven't killed me for knowing about your childhood. 'Wounds of the heart can be cured by love' Who the hell needs love?

"Hm.. some big words for one who supposedly has a 'crush' on me.." He replied, looking at her. "And I am not going to kill you for knowing of my past.. as Kazekage, I am supposed to protect those who live in my village, not kill them."
