This is from Yashamaru's point of view. He's thinking about how he hates Gaara. (Gotta love their uncle/nephew relationship.) It's a songfic. The song is My Immortal. Enjoy, and please review!!

I do not own Naruto.

Bold words after the line are Yashamaru's thoughts and the italics are the song lyrics.

I tried.

I tried so hard to love you.

But I can't.

I'm sick of pretending.

I'm so tired of being here

My sister was my everything.

Suppressed by all of my childish fears

I used to be afraid of death,

But now, I'll embrace it.

It will make me closer to my sister.

My precious, precious sister.

And if you have to leave

You are the reason she is dead.

Whenever I look at you, I'm reminded of what I lost.

What I will never be given back.

I wish that you would just leave,

Please, just do me one favor.

Because your presence still lingers here

Die.

And it won't leave me alone

Please, just die.

These wounds won't seem to heal

Because no matter what I do…

This pain is just too real

I can't stop missing my sister.

There's just too much that time cannot erase

I can't stop hating you because you took her away from me.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

I would always go through the motions of loving you,

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

Just to try and make myself love you.

And I've held your hand through all of these years

But, I can't control my emotions.

But you still have all of me

By you living, her death goes unavenged. Therefore, you must die.

You used to captivate me

I'm done pretending.

By your resonating light

I never liked you, and I never will.

But now I'm bound by the life you left behind

I can't escape the horror of what happened to my sister.

Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams

I can't even look at you anymore without feeling disgusted.

Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

You have turned me into what I am now; a hating shadow of my former self.

These wounds won't seem to heal

Maybe...

This pain is just too real

Maybe, your death will help me get over my loss.

There's just too much that time cannot erase

Maybe not.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

I'll only know if I try.

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

For now, I will still pretend to be your loving uncle,

And I've held your hand through all of these years

But, our time together will mean nothing to me.

But you still have all of me

Nothing at all.

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

Because, Gaara-sama,

And though you're still with me

You are the creature that caused the death of the person closest to me.

I've been alone all along.

You will pay for my suffering.
