From previous chapter:

"Your point being?" the Kazekage questioned bored.

"A child has been said to have been born fused with a demon in this village." The woman stated.
Everyone in the room stilled.

Friends and Love; All Illusions and Lies

Chapter 3: Alliance

"How?" the Kazekage ask threateningly

"By a slip of the tongue sir. A drunken traveler told one of the gate guards about the Sands keeps."
the woman answered. "It was interesting to know what the traveler held. It seems the Sand secrets are easy
to discover."

"I so not care about how our secrets are guarded. Who are you and what does the news you know
concern you?" he asked angrily.

"My name is Surin. I am the ambassador of the Cloud. Our ..knowledge on the demon is thin but
we do have an interesting proposition concerning whether you will accept the alliance or not.." Surin
replied bored.

"I will accept the alliance depending on the proposition." The Kazekage said.

"The Cloud as a few skeletons in our closets as well. We have done many we are not proud of
either by fault or accident. This recent one has been an accident."

"All this meaning?"

"A scarified went wrong and now we have a child with a demon infused in her. We could not tell
if we should consider this a curse or a blessing, until we heard about what you have done. The Sand had
infused one of their innocence for the purpose of war."

Everyone besides the group from the Cloud gasped after hearing this. They had not expected to
hear something like this. The room was soon filled with a light buzz of whispers.

"Quiet!" the Kazekage shouted. "This alliance you want, is to mainly join our military forces, am I
right?"

"Yes sir."

"Tell me. Is your demon more powerful than Shukaku."

"I'm sorry sir. I am not familiar with that name."

"Shukaku is the blood thirsty demon which was sealed in this village years ago." The advisor
replied.

"Ah. I see. I am not sure if Sylpheed is stronger but my village agrees with the alliance, both
villages will benefit protection and peace."

"Interesting. Fine. The Alliance will be accepted for a month's trail. Your may stay in the village
for that time. My guards will show to some proper accommodation." The Kazekage said.

"Thank you sir. But I am sorry that we cannot stay. I have to return and inform our village about
this."

"I see." He said. The group got up and was about to leave, when, "Wait." They stopped and turn
towards the Kazekage.

"I've been meaning to ask." He started. "Why are you traveling with a child? It is quite a long trip
between our villages."

Everyone now turn and look at Yukinko. She was wearing her hood up again and looking to the
floor. Surin smiled inwardly. 'Got ya.' She taught.

"She is the holder of the goddess demon, Sylpheed." Surin said.

"Show us her face." The Kazekage said staring at the hooded figure.

"If you wish. Mera, could you." Surin said nodding to the chestnut browned haired woman. Mera
walked over to Yukinko and whispered something to her. Yukinko nodded, lifted her head and took off her
hood and cloak. Everyone gasped at the small child. Blue hair was very rare. Her highlights looked a little
like dripping blood. Her skin was very pale and her body was very small. Even for a child. The dark clothes
she wore didn't help her look all that normal as well. She also had a forehead protector around her neck.
The high collar of the cloak covered it earlier.

"You expect us to believe this child holds a demon within her." The Kazekage said.

"Sir, do think we would lie about this?" Mera said. Surin glared at her. Mera was going out of
line. She wasn't supposed to talk.

"And who are you to question me?" The Kazekage stated in a firm voice.

"Her guardian and teacher." The Jounin said.

"What is this child's name?"

"It's none…." Surin who put her hand on Mera's shoulder interrupted her, also glaring at her to
shut up.

"Sir, please excuse her. She is quite protective over the child. Sylpheed's holder's name is
Yukinko. That is all we will reveal." Surin said. Murmuring began to fill the room. The Kazekage
discussed something with his advisor and soon spoke.

"If she is the demon, why not allow her and her guardian stay here for the trail. Me and my
advisors would like to know if Shukaku and your demon can fight along side if necessary." He said.

"I am not sure if that is possible sir." Surin said looking at Yukinko who was looking at the floor
again. "We wouldn't want anything to go wrong."

"I am sure if it does, it will not affect the alliance." The advisor said.

"We will allow is than. But a word of caution, you have to keep Yukinko calm or else you might
regret it." Surin warned.

"It is settled than. My guards will show the child and her guardian to their accommodations." The
Kazekage said. Surin nodded, so did Mera.

Than the group left the main hall.

=Outside the main hall=

"Mera I told you not to go out of line in there." Surin whispered harshly.

"It worked didn't it." Mera whispered back.

"Yes. It did." Surin said more calmly. "Remember while you are here don't do anything
suspicious and keep an eye on Yukinko. You're the only one she listens to."

"Got it." Mera whisper. She and Surin than shook hands and bid farewell to each other. Surin left
with the ANBU soldiers and Mera and Yukinko followed the guards to their rooms.

'Ka-san' Yukinko thought to herself while everyone was talking and moving around her. 'Am I
here?'

<What do you mean, child?> Sylpheed replied.

'They talk as if I'm not there. The people in the hall couldn't even call me my name and kept
talking like I wasn't there' she thought angrily, putting on her cloak.

<Shhh. Don't worry. I know you're here. Ka-san knows you're here….with me, ok?>

"Umm. Ka-san is always here for me." Yukinko said out loud unconsciously.

<Good girl.>

Mera watch as Yukinko had this conversation in her head and worried. 'She's beginning to
communicate with it.'

= Back inside the hall=

"Keep an eye on the girl" the Kazekage said. "I have a odd feeling about her." The sand ANBU
nodded and was off.

=Meanwhile, in Gaara's and his siblings wing of the tower=

"Temari." Gaara said calling his sister in the kitchen.

"Yes, Gaara. Do you need anything?" Temari said coming out off the kitchen.

"I have a friend. And she gave me this." He said showing Temari the bear he got from Yukinko.

So what do you think? I didn't want Yukinko to stay for too short off a time so I made stay a month.
Oh and about her having a forehead protector, you have to read on and find out.

Remember to R&R. Much appreciated.
