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

Yes, I do.

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...

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.
