It was a normal occurrence to find the young, red-headded Kazekage doing something odd, misleading, or mind-befuddling, so, seeing him wearing a simple black and white printed bandanna was innocent as a baby. Or was it merely to catch the ones around him off-guard?

Gaara passed Kankurou in the hallway, his black and white bandanna, printed not unlike the stripes of a tiger, hid his forehead and quite a lot of his blood-red hair, tied in a simple knot just at the nape of his head.

Kankurou stopped his younger sibling in the hallway and asked what the bandanna was for, because the whole staff of the kazekage-building were more than a little confused. Some had said it was a show of his 'wild side', others said it came off and choked people to death, others said it was something he strangled the last ambassador from the hidden village of grass with –that poor man had not been seen for the last five weeks–.

Gaara stared at Kankurou with flat, emotionless eyes and finally answered, "I just want to."
