Author's Notes: I don't quite know what I was thinking when I wrote this. The idea got stuck in my head and I just had to write it. Plus, I'm going through this Shukaku craze where I'm finding myself fascinated by the demon. He's so interesting. Furthermore, I wanted to write something that presented Shukaku in a different light. I didn't want to make him out to be a nice guy, because he obviously isn't, but I also wanted to portray him as something more than just a bloodthirsty demon. He may be insane but he's very smart.
Jeez, I love writing him! He's so much fun. I am very tempted to write a fic about Shukaku from when he was a human, but considering how I am at updating, I don't want to start another multi-chapter story right now.
It's not quite romantic, but I intended it to be more of a friendship fic that points to how the relationship between Gaara and Matsuri will develop into more in the future. Yes, they are both clueless, but that's too be expected from them I think.
