I was...Kazekage?

[Private, friends can hack.]

So that's how...

(%1 on the fact that he's Kazekage and %1 on how to control his sand properly. %13 total.)

It's colder.

Snow?

(Yup, poor guy's never seen snow before and has no clue what it is XD)

To protect the people rather than kill the threat...

(Yes, this is the first thing of note he's done since losing to Byakuya. Gaara's been nearly silent and, oddly, hasn't tried any kind of violence or threat since being locked up.)

I'll kill him too.

[Action]

*Gaara is returning to his apartment room to get the pumpkin guts out of his hair after Bel was so kind to give Gaara an excuse.*

('Friends' refers to anyone who could previously hack his entries.)

I finally understand what I did in my memories. That look he gave me...just like all the others. Fear, hatred...human responses to what they can't control or stop. It's pathetic. Even my own family hated me. Why did I want to protect them? They're all the same. I hoped I could be loved if I protected them...love, what a joke. I was never loved, was I?

It was a nightmare...

[Private, hackable by friends]

'Gaara', a shura who loves only himself...my name.

Ahahahahahaha! Dunno how it happened, but I finally wound up in control! I'm not even stuck as that puny human-sized version of myself, either!

How? It's impossible...I thought it was only when I slept...

I don't care how it happened, all I care about is that I'm finally gonna get some real fun!

[Gaara's nightmare is going to start with him losing control of his body to Shukaku, who will be at full size, something like this: http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/134/10/ Shukaku is EXTREMELY hostile and will attack on sight.

Also, 3% gained on the first attempt on his life by Yashamaru and the results thereof.]

Matsuri is gone...

*This is Gaara out at the tree-line practicing his newly-remembered ability to walk on trees. He's currently standing upside down on the underside of a tree branch.*

It was my brother that was fighting...two boys. Why can't I remember anything about one of them?

(Okay, official unhiatus-ness and memory post. I go yay for not totally missing this event! And yes, that is a recolor of Orihime, and yes he looks exactly like her with red hair and eye rings.)

I remembered something. My team...my siblings. My older sister was bothering a group of girls...I made her stop....by threatening to kill her if she didn't...

(Consider yourself Gaara's friend if he's held a conversation with you outside of an emergency.

2% on remembering the altercation between Kankurou, Sasuke and Naruto sans any real details about Naruto and 1% on remembering that his teammates are also his siblings. 8% Total.)

Kazekage...the strongest shinobi in Sunagakure and its leader. That was my father's rank...but I can't remember anything else about him.

(2% used to remember the name of his village, his father's title and its meaning.)

Matsuri was my student...

(1% regain to remember being Matsuri's teacher, 2% left. Shukaku will be remembering information on the biju with 2% and has 1% left.)

(Edited because mun's brain died and misunderstood the mod post.)

*Gaara returns from the forest and, ignoring most of the festivities for now, heads to the apartment kitchens. He needs coffee. When he reaches the kitchen, he opens his journal*

[Filtered to friends]

I'm back.

I'm going into the forest to practice with my sand. Don't follow me.

(I am going to be on hiatus from tonight to Sunday, possibly late Monday due to Otakon. Gaara shall be practicing with his sand for the duration. So...uh...I guess $30 for food?)

*Sitting on the roof of the apartment with Hoshi in his lap. He's thinking, but feel free to bug him~*

Private, hackable to most friends but care taken to make it harder for Anna to hack.

People have been acting strange...the island again?

Filtered to Matsuri

Are you still yourself?

*Gaara has come to his room from the roof for...some reason or another. Oddly, he is holding a purring kitten*

The bathroom's done.
