Description
As the years passed neither forgot each other, Gaara stuck to telling everyone his vow. That ‘he fights for himself, and loves only himself, that that was the only love he needed’. His father made many attempts on his life and slowly he started becoming 'unstable' in a way. And he was cold to everyone. He killed without a second thought, and became the strongest ninja in the hidden sand village, the Kazekage's secret weapon, and by killing he felt alive. But the truth was no matter what happened even though his mind slowly became unstable he always felt either the warmth of Shigure and their time together, or the harsh coldness of not having her around anymore.
In Konoha Shigure didn't make new friends, she was cold to nearly everyone, she was strong but wasn't the strongest, well that’s what they thought, she never showed her instructors what she could really do. She was an excellent ninja; no one noticed her because she was quiet. She didn't speak to many people, but she was polite when they did speak to her. But she never made any close contacts. She always felt empty without Gaara. True the Uzamaki kid was funny, and the Uchiha kid was mysterious and attractive. But she never paid any attention to them. She sat at the back of her classes and did her work.
For 6 years they both spent their time like this. Gaara had killed many for his father, and now was time for more killing. The Chuunin exam was to be held in Konoha. Konoha of all places! He didn't know if she would be there though, so he kept his mind on his mission.
Shigure herd of the Chuunin exam and her heart lifted when they said Gennin from the sand village were coming. But dropped when she realized, that Gaara wouldn't be a Gennin still, he was decently a Chuunin maybe even Jonnin. She returned to her training. She'd made Chuunin in the test 6 months ago.
Since she had come back from The hidden sand village she'd changes allot, her golden hair became silver, her eyes still fiery, but more fierce and held more red in the yellow and orange, she grew taller and had a good body. She was thin with long legs and a good-sized chest. She now wore instead of her blue clothes long dark jeans and a black sleeveless top that covered her chest and stomach. Over the top of it she was the netted training shirt. She was beautiful, but quiet so few noticed her, she liked it like that. Her kunai and shuriken's were held in containers on her legs and her ninja forehead protected was tied around her arm.
The contestants for the Chuunin exam arrived from the other villages, some of her old classmates were going to be in the exam. Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, Hinata and so on, nearly every one in her old class in the academy, she had become Chuunin early because one of her teachers saw her practicing in the forest. So he saw that she could do a lot more than she let on and recommended her for the exam.

The contest started and for a wile she had so many things to do, she was doing extra missions because of the lack of Jonnin running the exam and Gennin participating in it. After a month or so the finals had started all 4 girls from Konoha had failed and so had lee. He was badly injured by a sand ninja and could barely walk, word was he could never fight again.
She knew lee, he was a powerful ninja what kind of ninja could do that? She wondered as she walked to the stadium were the finals were to be held.
She found her way up to the stands. It was interesting. Naruto was really late and she couldn't see from how high she was but there were some weird looking people down there. Immediately she saw a guy with bright red hair. ‘Don't be sill it wont be him. He probability isn't even from the sand village anyway, it wont be Gaara.’ She said to herself with a certain amount of certainty though she wished she wasn't so sure, she could only see a large gourd and his hair anyway.
The fight between Neji and Naruto lasted a long time and Naruto won to her surprise. A fight was delayed, then a person from the sand village named Kunkuro forfeited against Shino. A boring match ended with Shikamaru and some girl from the sand village named Temari.
The village hidden in the sand's Kazekage, Gaara's father, was sitting with the Hokage from the hidden leaf village in the middle of the three stands watching the fights. It was so boring, there was meant to be a big fight with a guy from the sand village and Sasuke, now that she was slightly interested in. she assumed that was why the Kazekage was here, to watch the ninja who had maimed Lee fight again. At the end Kakashi Sensei and Sasuke arrived. The announcer called “Now with be the fight between Uchiha Sasuke and Sabaku no Gaara will commence.”
Her face dropped, 'Ga-Gaa-Gaara?' she almost screamed out loud, and she sounded an awful lot like Gaara the first time they met. She could see vaguely Sakura and Ino start to relax and become cheery amongst themselves. She politely asked to borrow the guy next to hers binoculars. He handed them over when she gave him a nice little smile. She threw them to her eyes, and watched the door were Gaara would come from. She could see it perfectly. Out came the boy with red hair she'd seen at the beginning. He was tall, he still had his red shiny hair, like flames on his head, the dark lines around his eyes were more pronounced, his tattoo on his forehead still stood. His clothes had changed to black, it looked like a once pieced outfit but she was sure it wasn't, he wore a white scarf around his shoulder and a massive gourd on his back, tied to him with a red scarf, he looked murderous, Shikaku had taken his toll on Gaara she thought sadly. He hunched with anticipation to the fight, we was clearly ecstatic. His pale skin seemed to call to her. She removed the binoculars as he walked towards Sasuke and gave them back to the man beside her.
The match started and instantly sand poured from the gourd on his back, she watched everything she could, she admired Gaara's technique, he was so talented, but Sasuke had found his weakness, speed. If he ran fast enough Shikaku couldn't keep up. ‘Dam that raccoon’, she thought venomously as she saw Gaara get hit again and again. She used all her might to prevent herself from jumping down into the arena and punching Sasuke and protecting Gaara, and even more so to stop herself from using her Kakai Genkai and hitting him from her chair.
Gaara summoned his ultimate defence and people stared whooping, this is the kind of thing they wanted, a hard out battle. Sasuke hit the barrier with all his might and spikes sprung out at the same time as his fist hit it. He bled and jumped backwards.
‘The ultimate defence has always been impenetrable’. After a few different things, Sasuke ran up one of the walls. He summoned electricity? She herd Gai Sensei telling Sakura and Ino it was called 'chidori' she watched in wonder. ‘They don’t call it impenetrable for nothing Sasuke’. She thought mockingly with a sly smile. Gaara would kill this boy. He ran down the electricity made a weird chirping noise, like a bird. He ran to the defensive sphere and dodged the spikes ‘not bad’ she thought, the chidori reached the barrier and his hand went through, ‘it went through?!’ She thought, unable to believe it as her face dropped.
Her heart broke. A massive scream of pain came from inside the dome. He screamed, she could even feel it inside her, her pain so immense, “Blood it’s my blood!” the sound echoed throughout the stands. Again Sasuke summoned the chidori while his hand was inside the dome, ‘but was he still touching Gaara?’ she asked herself desperately, he pulled out his arm, and with it followed by another arm, an inhuman arm, one made from sand, the arm of Shikaku.
Sasuke stood staring at the hole he made, staring at what no one else could.
He was injured, badly. Everyone was watching the fight intently no one noticed Shigure start crying. The sphere shaped dome that had been used to protect Gaara cracked all around, then slithered and seethed to the ground.
In the middle she could see Gaara standing there holding his shoulder, his blood was all too visible. Tears stung at Shigure's eyes as her vision began to blur and she began to feel tired, she felt a sleeping jutsu and dispelled it with an annoyed “kai!” and continued to watch Gaara. She opened her mind. Her mind shot passed the spectators in the stands high about the battle arena, her eyes moving like fires with the activation of her Kakai-Genkai, and then she came shooting down. She felt Gaara, week and bleeding badly, his chakra low.
He stood glaring at Sasuke who was obviously stunned and no doubting had seen Shikaku.
The blond girl Temari (who had beaten Shikamaru by default) and Kunkuro (who had for fitted his match against Shino) were standing in front of Gaara, his teammates? Gaara started shaking and clutching his head. ‘Fuck Shikaku please leave him’ she thought bitterly, without even noticing she'd risen to her feet. Gaara's Sensei came down and was also talking to the teens. Gaara fell to his knees. Shigure had jumped on to the chair in front of her only 4 seats away from Sakura and the other girls. Gaara was hoisted to Kunkuro's shoulder. Temari and Kunkuro carried the now unconscious Gaara over the wall, soon closely followed by Sasuke.
She hadn't noticed the ninjas starting to attack Kakashi or Gai nor the smoke bomb that went off at the Hokage's stand. As soon as Sasuke had left after them she was close behind.
She didn't seem to realize that she was chasing her enemy and willing to attack someone from her village to protect him. As she ran she lifted a pack of kunai from a dead Konoha ninja and strapped it to her own leg and kept running after Sasuke and Gaara.
Randomly a ninja from the sand would attack her. She would simply through the kunai and guide them with her chakra, not once did she miss. When a ninja from her own town attacked her that didn't recognize her she would just guide their kunai away from her and into an opposing villagers body, then continue after Gaara's chakra, witch she hadn't let her leave her minds kaki-Genkai.
Soon she was in the forest following Gaara with a lot more accuracy then Sasuke seemed to be. Soon she was right behind them.
She leapt through the trees as fast as she could. And jumped into view behind them. Kunkuro carrying the unconscious Gaara and Temari turned and faced her. Her eyes fell upon Gaara for the first time properly in such a long time. She stood there, in such pain to see him there. Staring into his closed eyes and trying to fix any damage she could with her kaki-genkai, speeding the healing and locking Shikaku behind a barrier only Gaara could break through easily, it would only last a little while though. She didn't notice Temari. Temari lifted her fan and swooped it at her in one powerful stroke. The air cut her face and chest and sent her flying backwards, away from Gaara as she lost her connection. She was sent crashing into a tree closely followed by Temari who jumped down in front of her. She could feel warm blood trickle down her cheeks and lips. Her arms and legs were no doubting cut.
Temari lifted a kunai from her weapons pouch and lifted Shigure's neck up to cut her throat. “ Stop” she heard someone call. Was Gaara healed already? She thought hopefully looking towards the voice, “we need to get Gaara out of here don't kill her!” the voice called, Kunkuro's voice. She looked down. ‘His injuries are severe he wont be healed yet’, She said sadly to herself.
Kunkuro jumped to a tree above her she looked up again. It hurt all her injuries but she had to see Gaara. Temari dropped the kunai and jumped up to Gaara and Kunkuro. “She is pretty” said Kunkuro looking at the bloody mess that was Shigure. She swore she saw Gaara's eyes open and look at her, but Temari threw something and she was knocked unconscious
