In love to our wives there is desire, to our sons there is ambition; but in that to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.
- Joseph Addison
A beautiful woman, garbed in moonlight, stood over the baby's cradle. A quiver and a bow lay on her back. She looked down at her child lovingly and held the babe's cheek in her pale hand. The baby's skin glowed with pale luminescence and her eyes as white as the moon with a lavender tint looked back at the woman, Artemis, moon goddess, and goddess of the hunt.
"I will never leave you." The woman said, "I will always be with you. My brother Apollo will look after you by day, and I shall look over you by night." She kissed her daughters cheek, "Be strong my Hinata."
The baby reached out a little hand to her. It was at that moment, that Artemis, for the first time in centuries, shed a tear.
A delicate woman with dark hair stood over the cradle. She admired her son and her eyes died.
"My love you have lost." She said to the baby boy. He cooed and his black eyes flashed red. "They have robbed you of my endless adoration. So, I will regard you with this, the love of the world. I will give you the admiration of men and the love of women."
The dark haired baby cried when Aphrodite vanished. A woman with black hair ran in. She picked him up and cradled him in her arms. Mikoto couldn't understand why her child was so frustrated.
"Sssh, Sasuke, sssh," She whispered.
He bawled and bawled for hours, until he finally fell asleep in her arms.
A rough man with blood red hair stood over a baby cradle. He crossed his arms and glared down at the infant below him. Strangely, the red-haired child managed to glower back. Ares managed a cold smile.
"Hm, I suppose you really are my boy." He said. He rolled his eye, knowing that Zeus or Poseidon were probably juggling several of their children being born at the same time. He cocked an eyebrow at the baby boy below him. He bent over and smiled wickedly. "Listen here, kid, I like you. That's pretty special, since I hate all humanity and demi-gods. Now, listen close you little demon. I will give you strength. Under your reign blood will litter the earth and kingdoms will fall at your feet." He laughed maniacally, "I look forward to it."
He then disappeared, leaving behind the smell of corpses. Gaara wrinkled his nose.
"Hn," Gaara's first word, if they even is a word.
