"Shu-Shukaku? I d-don't know who you are, mister...M-May I ask where Gaara w-went?"
Shukaku chuckled loudly, his cage shaking. "He's safe. Gaara is the host of me, he's a Jinchūriki."
"Jin-Jinchūriki?" she frowned. "Wh-What's that?"
"Jinchūriki's are humans that have tailed beasts sealed within them. They exhibit extraordinary powers due to the immense chakra reserves they possess. They're all lonely people."
"Th-They are lonely?"
Shukaku nodded. "People detested them because the Tailed Beasts were too strong and could kill them in a blink. Gaara was hated in his village and was never liked from the start from where he was born. Except for his mother,"
Ai blinked. "H-His mother was the only person wh-who loved Ga-Gaara?"
"Yes. She loved him very much but died giving birth to him. His father tried killing him but failed. He moved into Konoha where he finally earned respect."
"O-Oh. I-I see. Th-That's great. M-May I ask why he has insomnia?"
Shukaku's cage shook violently as he roared with laughter. "He wasn't able to sleep. Because,"
He grinned. "I might get out."
"Wh-Why would you do th-that, Mister?" she questioned timidly.
Shukaku chuckled. "There are a lot of things you don't know, little one. You know, you would be soaking in blood right now in my claw. You wanna know why?"
Ai blinked twice. "S-Sure."
"Just say hi to Yokoshimana for me." he said with a smirk then she was back on her bed with Gaara.
Gaara was clutching his head, groaning. Ai jumped. "Ga-Gaara! Wh-What's wrong?!"
"Shu-Shu...Shukaku...HE'S LAUGHING TOO LOUD..."
Ai giggled. But thought confusedly.
Say hi to Yokoshimana for him?
Wasn't Yokoshimana her?
<O>NEXT DAY, THE DAWN'S MIRAGE PARTY<O>
"Yaaaay!" Naruto pranced into the cafeteria cheerfully. "It's LUNCH TIME!"
He dove for the trays, making one of the ladies shierk and hit him with her spectular. Ai laughed.
"Wh-What's so great about lunch?"
Temari rolled her eyes. "He eats ramen..."
They all looked at the lunch line only to see Naruto's drool dripping onto the green apples on the counter, his eyes glued to the instant ramen sitting on the other side. The lady glared at him.
"Young man, you're taking too much time."
"Akfrkslwksisvdgwahsa."
Hinata blushed. Tenten poked her red nose. "Now Hinata?"
"T-Tenten!"
Temari and Ai exchanged looks but shrugged. Then burst out laughing for no apparent reason. They headed for a table after they got their lunch where Naruto and the rest were waiting.
Unfortunately for Ai, they had to get pass Sakura's table. Sakura grinned evilly from ear to ear. When Ai stole a glance at her, Sakura pretended to twirl a lock of her pink hair innocently.
Ai was already fidgeting. HELL was literally marked on Sakura's forehead. Ai squeezed her eyes shut and took a step closer.
She was about to get to the table. But Sakura's table first.
Just when she was about to lift her feet, Sakura's leg shot out and hover above Ai's feet. Ai, her eyes were shut and she tripped.
She fell.
Her lunch tray went flying. Ai gasped.
The whole cafeteria went silent.
Sakura and her friends' high pitched laughter rang in her mind.
The pinkette pointed and insulted her and grabbed the lunch tray and dumped it all over Ai.
A new strange feeling burst from Ai's chest, spreading from head to toe. Her spaghetti dribbled down the side of her face, her apple hit hard on her head. The feeling grew and her eyebrows knitted.
She finally realized it.
She hated Sakura.
She hated Sakura so much.
And she was going to show it.
Her mind snapped back to reality. Temari and Tenten were yelling and threatening her. But they all stopped and turned to Ai.
Sakura stared at Ai.
Ai was glaring.
The feeling burst again.
"Ai..." Hinata mumbled. Ai got up and removed the spaghetti out of her hair.
"You." she spat. "I've had enough!"
Feeling more raged than ever, she was forced to grab her lunch tray and smashed it upon Sakura's head.
Everyone sprang to life. She looked up. Sasuke was staring at her, ignoring his bleeding girlfriend.
His eyes literally said, Meet me at the back of the school before the party starts, 3:45.
Ai pursed her lips. Did she went to far? Is Sasuke gonna yell at her?
Even though, Sakura was bleeding and clutching her head, her glare was still fixed on Ai. Then her voice turned sickeningly sweet.
"I'll see at the party, Love."
