(TW-SH) listen to your mother by @SabakuKyuut777

Big TW for self-harm/manipulation. Usually I don't share my darker artwork but I'm feeling brave today.

Here is Shukaku exploiting his hosts weaknesses for entertainment and blood offerings. Any blood is good blood, even if the host must offer its own. 

Normally Gaara wouldn't be able to do this due to his automatic defense, but of course there's exceptions. (note: 愛)

Shukaku gives Gaara twisted motherly "affection" and mimics the voice of Karura, implying the possibility of peace in exchange for his obedience. 

At least when it's his own blood, Gaara can avoid the punishment that usually follows attacking an unsuspecting villager.
