King Shukaku Part 4

Itailics=Kazekage singing
Bold=Gaara/Shukaku singing

Gaara, now halfully transfromed, looks over at th sacrfices on the boat. Flashes of purple and pink caught his eye.

"Wow! Since I'm a King, those two look like my queens." King Shukaku stated.

"You mean OUR queens?" Gaara asked, "I don't like sacrifices at all..."

"Then why don't you die?" A shadow asked. The kazekage looked at his weapon, "Without me, you wouldn't have any protection at all from the world around you." Then, he sang...

The world is cruel
The world is wicked
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole village
I am your only friend
I who keep you, use you, feed you, kill you
I who kills and only loves myself
How can I protect you, boy, unless you
Always love yourself
Only yourself
Remember what I’ve told you, Gaara
You are a threat

I am a threat

And you are scary

And I am scary

And these are crimes
For which the world
Shows too much hatred
You have to comprehend

You are my one defender

Out there they'll revile you
As a monster

I am a monster

Out there they will fear
And scream and run

Only a monster

Why invite their loveless minds
And apprehension?
Love yourself
Be faithful to me

I'm faithful

Grateful to me

I'm grateful

Do as I say
Obey
And love
Yourself

I'll love
Myself

The Kazekage left Gaara, chuckling about the new sacrifices. Gaara thinks and sighs, trying not to cry.

"I'll tell you, All of this is not my fault..." Shukaku said with sympathy. Gaara then begins to sing.

Safe behind this power and these sturdy walls of sand
Gazing at the people here around me
All my life I watch them as I hide in hate alone
Hungry for the friendliness they’d show me
All my life I only wanted kindness
Knowing that as I will never know love
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not behind them
But part of them

And out there
Living in the sand
Give me one day out there
All I ask is one
To hold forever

Out there
Where they all love and it’s fair
What I'd give
What I'd dare
Just to live one day out there

Gaara runs down to the village center invisable. He watches as he sing and Shukaku joins him.

Out there among the children and the ninja and their wives
Through the sand and darkness We can see them
Ev'ry day they fight and train and go about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
If We were in their skin
We'd treasure ev'ry instant

Gaara then for the finale, goes into the dock, leaving footprints behind and, to be nicer, hugs the first person he sees.

Out there
Training in the sand
Taste a morning out there
Like ordinary men
Who walk with love about there
Just one day and then
I swear I'll be content
With my love
Won't destroy
Won't regret
All alone
I won't fret
I'll have spent
One day
Out there

Too bad the first person was Sasuke. The fangirl boat that followed the avenger sank. Naruto was laughing as Sasuke looked like he was choked(A/N:Remember Gaara is invisable.). Jessica was taking pictures and selling them on the internet, while Sakura was crying. Gaara saw the 2 girls. He and Shukaku both thought the same thing,

"Are these two babes the sacrifices?"
