Editor's note: Hey, I'm back! This is the awaited SEQUEL to The Deserted Heart! They are indeed written by my friend, and as of yet, we have not gathered enough money to bribe away copyrights, so nope, we don't own Naruto. However... Yes, Pinata-Girl, my friend, STILL owns Iki. So here we are… The second book! FYI, there will be two more, for a grand total of FOUR Iki stories! R&R!

Background Info: In the forth year of training for the Dark Troopers, you found your mother! You faked your death so that you could travel with her. She and you started a band named Death to Scarecrows and Weasels. (A/N: if you don't get it… wow…) You are fourteen now and look different: during training, you dyed your hair a lot of colors, but currently your hair is grey (Wooooo how original :P) and your eyes have turned red from the constant use of Ai from your dark trooper years. Your have short, straight, grey hair that reaches about two inches past your ear lobes. You wear a dark blue, completely open back, long sleeve halter and a short black skirt with slits up both sides all the way with wraps as shorts. You wear knee high black boots that have silver buckles up the front and have a holster on you upper right thigh for protection. You have now mastered with Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, Byakugan, and Shikotsumyaku with Ai. You are able to control earth, sand, water, fire, air, light, darkness, healing, lightning, sound, and metal. You have super strength, are telekinetic, you can merge through almost anything, and can make a indestructible metallic type shield that cover's you like skin for protection. You now travel with your band to villages for performances. You secretly are under a master who occasionally gives you missions, but nothing more. Oh and you have a tattoo. :D

The End of the Beginning

You woke to a loud squeal from your mother. You peeked through one eye sleepily only to come face to face with your mom, who had a huge cheesy grin plastered on her face. Your eyes widened in horror as you quickly sat up and pinned yourself to the wall and to put the cherry on top… you screamed bloody murder. She came closer with the grin getting wider, TOTALLY scaring the crap out of you. You shot your head back and made contact with the wall... hard. You groaned in pain as you clutched your head. Your mom poked your side and you jerked your body to the side which was poked and bonked heads with one another. You both winced and grabbed your heads. You looked at each other's faces and began to crack up! After you both calmed down your face went evil at the thought of remembering why you were hurt in the first place. Your head turned to your mother with thick outlines and big white eyes (kinda like when Naruto called Sakura his girl-friend to Konohamaru). Your head creaked and your mom chuckled nervously (kind of like what Naruto did in the situation said earlier).

You- "now tell me why you woke me from my slumber!" You gritted through your teeth, trying not to attack the mother whom had so 'kindly' woken you up! She chuckled nervously again.

Ai- "well… see… we got this gig." You raised an eyebrow making sure not to lift the stare of doom from your face.

You- "go on." You spoke as you grabbed the near broomstick and held it your mother's face as if it was a deadly weapon. She held her hands over her head playfully.

Ai- "I surrender! We got a huge gig in the sand country for almost a quarter of a million dollars!" You looked dumb struck and the broom fell from your grip. It took a few minutes to sink in but when it did your mom sweat dropped. After about 3 minutes after hearing the news you jumped out of you seat with a huge smile on your face and did your happy dance! You and your mom danced for about 10 minutes untill you realized you had to pack. You left the next day for the Wind country with Yori and Kibou.

(10 hours later)

You were drinking and at around 1am you were COMPLETLY wasted. You stumbled around and got outside. You saw a guy walk up to you and he was also drunk. You were laughing with him till it got out of hand and you were shoving him off you.

You- "hey leave me alone!"

Voice- "Leave her alone." You couldn't tell who it was because you passed out.

Gaara's POV 9pm

You were home with your siblings doing paperwork, while Kankuro and Temari were playing Go. You started to hear very obnoxious noises and so did your siblings yet they didn't seem to care.

You- "I can't work with this noise." Kankuro looked at you.

Kankuro- "Don't worry. The new bars are just having a few new bands over for a party. Temari and I were going to go later." You looked annoyed and sighed. You tried to work again.

Half an hour later

Temari- "we're leaving now. You can come if you'd like."

Kankuro- "yeah, you've been working hard lately. You need some fun." You sighed and glared at them. They shrugged and left. Around 1am you couldn't take it, so you went to go make it STOP!! You left the house and walked down the road. You came to the place and noticed some guy trying to hurt a young woman. She was crying for help, her words slurring.

You- "leave her alone." The guy looked scared and ran away. You looked back to the girl and she was passed out on the floor. You sighed and swung her over your shoulder and took her to your house you don't know that it's Iki because of three reasons: 1- eyes, 2- age, and 3- it's dark. You placed her in the guest room and went back to work since it was less loud. Kankuro and Temari came home around 4am and plopped (A/N: Lol :D) on the floor.
