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
(

Yes, I do.

I do not know how to put it...

Try starting from the beginning, Temari-san.

...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...

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.
Reply
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...

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....
Reply
*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?
Reply
...Well...How do you think they got rid of them...? They were obviously too much for humans to handle...
Reply
Temari... what did they do!?
Reply
...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*

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.]]

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.
Reply
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.
