Gaara and Akinas house

-lays down and closes my eyes holding my arm protectively over Kin and falls asleep-

Plays with my sand as you sleep, making different looking people out of my sand

Kin wakes up and looks around.

Kin sees me making different peoples images out of my sand

*Looks over at Kin and smiles* very good, now lets see you make mommy

*I open up a picture book and shows kinichi a lion* How about this and also this as well *also shows him a picture of a kangaroo, smiles encouragingly*

He pulls his hand upward forming the lion and flips it again making a kangaroo next to it.

*Smiles* You are incredible, just about as good as I was when I was little like you *shows him a picture of a town* Lets see if you can make a little replica of this, be careful and use small hand strokes

His eyebrows hold together and he pulls his hand up slightly stabling it with his other hand then flips it and swivels his hand forming the town.

*Looks at the town* Not bad my son, have you been playing with sand while I am not around? *Smiles and looks at him*

He nods. "A wittle."

*Smiles* I am glad to see you are working on your sand skills, keep practicing and concentrate more on details then trying to make the objects quickly*With smooth little motions I move my hands around taking my time and makes the little town into a huge little city, details are perfect as I smoothly twist and turn both of my hands taking about a minute to make it*

He watches you intently following your hand movements.

*Does them slowly and smoothly so he can see how I do it, I finish making the city, even little tiny people are inside the city, same with animals, and a park with little trees, I move my fingers slightly still moving my hands slightly and slowly making the little people walk around the city*

He smiles. "Daddy gud!"

Lots of practice *He sees me doing the same hand motions over and over to make the people move, I stop and they stop, I smile and looks at Kin* You want to make them walk, go ahead, I know you can do it

He follows your hand motions making them move around like you did.

*They move a little sluggish at first, I smile as I see kinichi slowly get better picking up the hand movements* Very good *keeps watching him play with the sand*

He smiles. "Swand fun!"

*Chuckles and slightly moves my hand making a little tree turn into a little dinosaur that goes on a little rampage through the city*

He laughs. "Daddy! No!" He moves his hand softly turning the dinosaur into a flower.

*Chuckles as I see the flower in perfect detail, I make a little tiny version of kinichi playing inside the park on a swing set*

He smiles. "Me!"

Remember this motion*I slowly do new hand motions and the sand changes colors making the city look more realistic, all the little trees and buildings and people have color making them even more real looking*

He stares at it in amazement.

-wakes up and screams pulling myself into a sitting position and stares at my hands, shaking, fear covering my expression-

*Loses concentration from your scream and the little city collapses, I look over at you* Whats the matter love? *Goes over to you and puts my arms around you and kisses your cheek*

-draws a shuddering breath-

Kinichi holds onto me. "Mommy?"

-takes him and holds him tightly to me tears spilling over my face- My boys....

It was just a nightmare my love, we both are perfectly fine *Smiles*

He looks at me concerned. "Mommy?"

-holds him tightly to me-

What is wrong my love? *Looks at you concerned* Please tell us

N-nothing...-strokes Kin-

I think i understand what your dream was, dont worry my love, everything will be fine *an image of a war suddenly flashes inside your head, you see Megami fighting what appears to be a demon more then 20 times her size, it is gone as fast as it was there*

-sits there wide eyed paralyzed in fear watching-

*You see the huge demon swing its claws at Megami as the image gets stronger suddenly, you see Megami step out of the way as she jumps at the demon placing a tag with strange symbols on it, then three more are placed on the demon by her quickly as you see her clap her hands once, then a huge flash from the demon, the images fade away again* * I look at you worried* Love? Can you hear me?

-squeezes my eyes holding onto Kinichi and kisses his forehead-

*One last set of these images enters your mind, you see Megami standing around 4 swords in the ground, the demon is not in the area, you reconize two swords, which is currently locked up in my arsenal which only I have access to, through Megamis eyes you see Kendiel approach, me close behind, You can feel Megami breathing hard after such a long battle. You hear a few words from Megami* Never let these 4 swords touch each other *Kendiel takes one and I take the other three. The images stop*
Love, what is bothering you? *Kisses your cheek*

-opens my eyes and mumbles- The sacred swords....

*looks at you surprised* What are you talking about love???

-shakes my head and smiles- Nothing...

*Looks at you curiously* You know something, I know you do love, let me guess, you not gonna tell me
*Suddenly another image is inside your head, you see Kendiel through Megamis eyes, you hear what Kendiel says-To ensure nobody finds this sword my lady, I am going to hide it in the least likely spot anyone would look-Megami-So you believe nobody will remove it from this statue?-Kendiel-almost nobody ever visits this statue at benton shrine-the images disappear again*

-grits my teeth- Thinks: Why did he..? Does Megumi know what happened to him..? Why he changed..?

*Sees you grit your teeth* What are you contemplating now love? *As you think more about it the images become a little more clearer, a different location is suddenly inside of your head as you see Kendiel kneeling down beside someone, this woman looks like Megumi, except older, you feel confused suddenly and disoriented, then images are gone, but the disoriented feeling lingers a little bit longer*

-stares ahead blankly-

Kinichi waves his hands in front of me. "Mommy?"

*Looks worried as I begin to stroke your cheek gently* Love, snap out of it, please

-blinks and looks back at you- Gaara...?

What is going on with you my love? ever since you got pregnant, youve been acting strange

I'm...ok... -looks down-

My love, tell me what the matter is, please *strokes your cheek gently*
