Draco followed Gaara's scent through the desert, she was determined to save Gaara from the Akatsuki and she wouldn't let anything stand in her way. Temari had been sent to the border to protect against any enemy attacks, a woman by the name of Lady Chiyo had taken her place on the team. Draco followed the scent all the way to a blocked cave, the boulder blocking the cave had a paper seal on it and she could feel that they didn't have much time to save Gaara. Draco ripped off the seal once the other team was in position and they were able to enter the cave. Draco burst through the cave entrance with her claws blazing from her fire chakra and she saw the Akatsuki member, Deidara, sitting on top of Gaara's body next to Sasori. Draco growled, "Get your filthy ass off of him!!" before transforming into a winged wolf and lunging at Deidara. She had known Deidara back when she was still the Akatsuki's living weapon and he had passed on his love of art to her, Draco was deeply enraged by the sight of someone she had once respected sitting on the corpse of her first real friend.
