And Yet Things Are Looking Up

Honey, I want to see pictures. It's not fair, being stuck here. ^_^

~~Counselor Yukari, can you please not kill my friend Tatsuki?~~

They're going to let me see Lee today! Does anyone have a message for him?

~~Blasted cast. Stupid brace. At least I can walk now.~~

[[Filtered to Temari]]

Temari, I wanted to ask you about something I saw during the fight. When Gaara was... enraged... he was talking about himself in the third person -- it seemed as though he was someone else entirely. Do you know of anything that could explain that?

[[Strikes not quite unreadable. I'll probably be offline until Monday -- sorry.]]

^_^; [picture of looks his age! Honey goes here]

Tell him Usa-chan and I said hello! <3

XDDDD That's great! How long is it supposed to last?

..I'll definitely tell him. Thanks.

Actually, it wore off last night ^_^;;

<3!

Aww. And I missed it. What was it like, being taller than usual?

Lee says hello back!! XDDDD Can I show him the picture?

It was really nice, I liked it! :D

*waves!* Sure :D!

...

Yes, I do.

*fidgets*

..Well, what!?

[[Here with very limited connectivity... will try to respond again today, but yeah. ^^]]

...

I do not know how to put it...

*sigh*

Try starting from the beginning, Temari-san.

When did you start with the -san, again...?

...Look, Gai...I know you're a ninjizard and all...but I'm not sure if I should tell anyone right now...

...I'm just...afraid...afraid for Gaara...

I don't know...I guess you all could have figured it out by now, anyway...it's just that...*sighs*

Damn...I'm so confused...

If it involves the secrets of your clan, you should use your judgment to do the best thing for your brother and also for everyone else. Whatever it is, it can't be better for him than not having it.

I heard... someone in the hospital... say something about a demon. There aren't any demons, at least in our regular DADA texts. But what I saw didn't seem like any regular split personality. ~~I know what those look like.~~ He seemed... like something beside himself.

Temari. Let us help, if we can. There's got to be someone who can be trusted with this.

Well...I mean...It is just that I am confused as to what is best right now. We have always kept these...things under the rug to protect Gaara and ourselves...but now that it seems that Gaara and that kid seemed to have been... involved...I just wonder if I should just let it out for the best of the kid...

Shit... That could only mean...

...Now that I don't think you're trustworthy, Gai...~~Actually, I'm not even sure what to think about you yet~~...but...If I told you...you must absolutely promise to not inform the authorities in the school. I really don't want to see us being sent back to Suna anytime soon...This is not only about the kid, but for my brother, as well...

*on tenterhooks here* WHAT!? That could only mean WHAT???

I see what you mean, Temari. For what it's worth, I wouldn't like to see either of you get sent back to Suna ~~especially if this is the kind of thing they do to their warriors~~. And believe it or not, I understand completely what you're feeling right now. Believe it or not, I want the best for your brother too.

From what you're saying, it sounds like whatever Gaara has inside him is something that people would be frightened of, but also something that Gaara can't control. You speak as though it's something I would want to talk to the authorities about. Some of them I'd trust with my life, but others... well... I promise not to say anything until you give me permission, unless it's absolutely necessary to prevent anyone from immediate harm. That is, unless another crisis comes up and someone trustworthy needs to know to help your brother or someone he's with. Is that sufficient?

...

*thinks for a moment*

...I guess it would only be a matter of time since you two found out, anyway...

*sighs*

...But when that time comes, tell me first. I will deal with it. If I cannot, THEN I will try to get someone in from Suna to help. But I do not wish for Gaara to be sent away when something can be done about it first.

Hmm...

Being a ninjizard, I know you must be quite familiar with the story of the nine Biju of the villages....

Done. *firmly* That's a promise. Although why would you want someone from Suna to deal with it? There's no one you can count on here?

*gapes* ..The nine biju!? I thought they'd all been gotten rid of ages ago. But they're not demons. They're... more like Dark Creatures or something, aren't they?

Dark creatures...Demons...same difference...

...Well...How do you think they got rid of them...? They were obviously too much for humans to handle...

But... they didn't... that couldn't have been... *clutches head* and Lee beat him up....

Temari... what did they do!?

...

...Great ninjizards who risked their lives for the sake of their villages performed life-threatening magic on these biju that sealed them into the bodies of humans. These humans act as containers for these biju, but I assure you, these dark creatures are still around...

*casts a stern look at Gai*

*hushed* And Gaara is one of these... with something that terrible sealed into his soul?

How awful... to seal a demon into a child who doesn't even have a choice....

But surely the creature wasn't supposed to surface like that. Did something go wrong with the spell?

[[I'm assuming Gai didn't know about this because he became a ninjizard late. And he's referring to everything in wizarding terms because he's spent a long time trying to relate ninjutsu to wizardry.]]

Yes. Gaara is one of them. He had the Ichibi sealed inside of him in the womb. I do not who did it, or know how, either.

No, nothing went wrong with the spell, to my knowledge. Could've been stronger, maybe...but anyone who has the biju sealed inside of them can lose control of the monster at certain times. Well...to tell you the truth...I think Gaara is the only one who loses control of his at times...Most others never even find out they are carriers until well into their later years. Some have even gone through life for decades without even knowing that they are carriers.

The Ichibi.... *sits back digesting all this* Then there could be eight more carriers somewhere and nobody would even know it!? Egad.

If Gaara's the only one, maybe the spell's wearing down... or maybe the Ichibi is too strong for it... or....

Temari, how does Gaara cope with this? Does he have any hopes of changing his relationship with the biju? Because if he can't learn a way to control it, he'll never be free to live his own life.

No, I never said that. A great, powerduk ninjizard has to be responsible for the sealing of the great beasts, and usually there is reason as to why the certain person is chosen to be the carrier, so of course they are known by someone...

Gaara...

Well, with Gaara...the fact that he had the Ichibi, or 'Shukaku', as he is named, inside of him was not hidden from him. As a matter of fact, Gaara was raised to utilize the powers of the Ichibi as a child so that he would one day become the ultimate weapon of the village. Since Gaara has such an open relationship with Shukaku, I am guessing that with a bit of effort, he can take Gaara over whenever he feels right...

...It is difficult, Gai. My brother grew up feared, unloved and pretty much alone. The kids always feared him, so he never really had any friends. He started to keep to himself, too. That's why I was so surprised when I heard that he made a friend somewhere down the line and I didn't know about it...

[[powerful** XDD]]

[[~~*quack*~~]]

Then it must be something else that causes Shukaku to take such liberties. *struggling for words* At -- at the end of the fight, it seemed as if Gaara... came back... and he was... not somebody who would have hurt Lee by choice. Do you really think he's capable of stopping that thing?

*eyes tear up* ..That explains part of their bond, then. You should know something about Lee: he has a heart big enough for the whole world, and he knows when someone needs a friend.

Yeah...Sometimes when Shukaku has been weakened enough, I think Gaara can take back control...which is ironic, because Shukaku usually tends to take control of Gaara when Gaara's in a particularly weakened state. No one really knows exactly what goes on for sure...

...I am still not getting that part, though. Gaara has always been the one to say that he in incapable of feeling love and/or affection towards any other than himself. I'm sure you see that tattoo on his forehead...

So what you're saying is that under certain circumstances, Gaara can't stop Shukaku from taking over. *frowns* I wonder if anything could be done about that.

Does Dumbledore know about Shukaku?

Yeah, I saw it. 'Love'. I was wondering why such a quiet, withdrawn boy would have that word written on his head. But... incapable of love!? That's not what I'm hearing from Lee. Sometimes a child who's had a hard time will lock himself up and forget what it's like to feel anything good. That doesn't mean they're incapable -- just out of practice.
