Gaara's room (after the training area thing)

Neko sits on the bed, stuffing all the things that she had brought in there the first time into a suit case.

"I have to leave! I have to go somewhere! Somewhere where the demon won't come out!"

*stands up*

*starts to walk towards the door*

Sand gathers infront of Neko, Gaara appearing infront of her through it. He looked at her with sad eyes. "Don't leave..."

"Why not? I can't stay here. I might get hurt! What if the demon comes out? I'll hurt everyone. I have to go somewhere where I won't get hurt or where there's no danger."

"What do you think I had to go through!?" He put his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "Don't you think I have an everyday fear of losing control? Don't you think I'm afraid I might hurt you or the others?! I've had Shukaku for my whole life, knowing that I did, and you didn't know until now and you are going to leave everyone? I could have done the same thing, but I didn't, right? I stayed around you guys, I put trust in myself to not lose it around you, but I did, twice! Are you not still here and alive? Don't you think I was worried that I might have killed one of you?! I was, but I didn't leave.." He let go and took a step back. "I stayed, I couldn't bare to leave you.. but you are about to leave all of us. Everyone who you told me was your friend. How do you feel about that..?"

*looks strained and shuts her eyes tight*

*slowly opens them*

"I guess... Would you... Would you miss me if I left?"

"Of course I would miss you.." He looked away. "Why do you think I followed you all the way here from Konoha? I'm all drained now but I don't care," He looked at her. "You are important to me, I know I never really show it, but.." He closed his eyes and shook his head. "Don't leave.."

*nods*

"I... I think that I will..."

*looks up at him*

"I'll fight it, and I'll make sure I stay and be strong, just like you!"

He felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. "I'm glad.." He put his arms around her, embracing her in a hug. "I only wish the best for you, and if anything like that happens you know I will be there to help.."

"I'm sorry I tried to leave, I promise you I'll stay forever!"

*hugs him back*

"It's okay.." He closed his eyes. "I will stay too."

*pokes him on the nose*

"When you say 'stay' that means you're not alowed to let anyone kill you, or kill yourself, ok?"

He opened his eyes and looked at her. "What if it's for the good of other people..?"

*shakes her head*

"Nope, no good for the other people if you're dead, meow. When you 'stay' you have to STAY!"

He gave her a sad smile. "I'll do my best.."

*smiles very big*

"Yay! All things are better now, meow?"

"I hope so.." He sighed. "Let's just forget about what might happen in the future and live for the day, okay?"

*nods*

"That makes more sense, meow."

*thinks for a second*

"So... Anything new happen that I havent seen?"

"Not that I can recall of.. how about you? Anything happen that I haven't seen?"

"Umm...."

*thinks for a second*

"Meow, two weeks ago I went to the bathroom, and unless you were watching, I don't think that you saw me."

His face went pink. "Well, I meant anything that isn't personal... and no, I never watched you go to the bathroom.."

"Ohhh..."

*thinks*

"I tried to draw a picture of your teddy, but it didn't work, meow."

His face went more red. "Oh.. how did you know about that..?"

"You told me in the hospital...."

*looks away*

(quietly)
"And maybe when I was in your mind I did a little more then just talk to Shukaku..."

"You what..?" His face went extreamly red. "What did you look through..?"

"They were lying everywhere! I had to read just one, meow.... Maybe a few..."
