Chapter 12 - Shukaku out 10 Times Over

Swirls of black and white danced around in Gaara's head. Some of them even took shapes! A white swirl formed itself into a pretty girl who then changed into a demon and Gaara woke up, sweat beading his forehead. "Finally awake, I see," said a voice from somewhere nearby. As the voice got nearer, Gaara felt the pain getting worse. Every time he breathed, his chest and stomach hurt. He also had a throbbing headache and couldn't see straight. As the pain increased, Gaara tried to shrink away from the voice. But his attempts were futile. As the speaked came into view, Gaara's blue eyes spotted a huge demonic aura circling the boy.

"Gaara, what's wrong?" asked Naruto, eyes full of concern. Gaara mentally made a note that this boy was more powerful than Deidara. The pain hadn't been this bad when Deidara sucked Shukaku out, but this was worse. It was like taking Shukaku out 10 times without stopping. "Gaara, are you feeling ok?"

The blonde's hand reached out to feel the Kazekage's forehead. As the hand came into contact with the forehead, Gaara bit his lip so hard it drew blood. The supposedly gentle touch meant for his forehead turned into razor sharp claws of pain. Gaara saw double before his limp body fell forward onto the stunned blonde, who didn't know what to do.

And Naruto panicked. "M...Master Iruka!" he yelled in an urgent tone. "I need a bit of help over here!" The brown-haired Chuunin hurried out of the next room, where he had gotten the restless Uchiha to sleep. "What is it, Naruto?" he asked in an annoyed tone. But that was before he saw Gaara with blood trickling from his lower lip leaning against his protege.
